Essex: The Whale Hunter
Let’s embark on an adventure! Full speed ahead, it’s high time to go hunting! The goal? Glory and precious loot in the form of a multi-ton whale. The stake? Your and your people’s life.
Did I say “people”? Of course, after all, as it has been known for a long time, you must gather your party before venturing forth. Recruit adventurous madmen to become part of your crew.
But what’s a captain without a boat? Take the helm of Essex, the legendary whaling ship Captain George Pollard Jr. used to set out on the memorable voyage of 1819, which ended with the ship colliding with a giant sperm whale and sinking at the bottom of the sea. This event inspired Herman Melville to write the famous Moby Dick, the novel on which Essex: The Whale Hunter is based. Now it’s your turn to visit 19th century Nantucket.
Track down your own Moby Dick, grab your weapons and fight an unequal battle against the sea colossus. Once you win, harvest the raw materials from the whale – you’ll monetise them when paving legal trade routes and searching for luck on the black market. Only (or as many as) a couple of accurate harpoon throws stand before you and a great fortune.
And when the ocean turns against you, smashing your ship to smithereens and lunging you to the shore of a desert island, do your best to get out of there and return to where you belong – to the great seas.
Essex: The Whale Hunter is a 19th-century whaling simulator and a great opportunity to experience a truly Melvillian adventure, full of tension, grave dangers and whale trophies to win. Become a legend and find your Moby Dick!

Game Of The Year
LSG and Wainstop have done it yet again. To say the unbreakable chain is a masterpiece, would be an understatement.
I argue there is a second meaning to this game that takes a bold take on the human psyche, showing what it means to be human. It does all of this with a beautiful medley of music by Yasushi Kaminishi, ghxyk2, and Bankbank, and animation produced by LSG.
SPOILERS!!!
In the first level, you are a worm. Aimlessly worming around with no direction, much like humans do. You wander until you find a whole, a gateway. This represents childbirth, The worm immediately killed, just like how a child is ejected into a cruel world in which he can die at any moment.

Animalia Survival
So i bought this game Friday at noon… Played it until Saturday 5am… In one sitting i nearly got my $1 = 1hour entertainment. I woke up Saturday at 11am, did my morning routine and now i am going to binge some more. If you are a fan of hardcore survival and animals, this game is right up your alley. Note this game is HARDCORE. So if your animal dies, your going to be starting a fresh new cub(some servers offer adult spawns). Personally for me this keeps the game fresh. Allows you to keep trying out new animals or trying out new point specs for your animals attributes. There are quite a bit of animals already in the game for early access and ALOT more on the road map ahead. I heard 36 African animals are planned.

After the SGF summer contest I realized that I’m a dinosaur, over 900 demos. .. the window of time for me to make a sustainable living from indie game development has closed.
I’m going to return to driving a semi-truck.
If lightning strikes and people give a hoot, I will finish the game.

THIS IS NOT A GAME! Think of it more like a tech demo. I knew what I was in for when I bought this because it’s one of my biggest fears “simulator”. I knew all the Jaws movies by heart at 5 years old, I grew up next to the ocean. The FIRST shark made me NOPE THE FUCK OUT! This “game” got put in it’s own collection called “NOPE”. I HATE all of this. I had to let the game idle for 9 minutes just to write this review. If getting eaten by a great white is scary AF to you, get it. If you want an actual game…maybe pass. Video is the whole game.

Arctic Anxiety
This is in fact a nice game and it should be a nice game and because of that i made this post so no offense the developer.
– This is in fact a nice game and it should be a nice game but because of all those devastating bug + other bug i feel it is on it’s place to warning you about what you really buying and i try for 122 hour to avoid this post as best i can just to give that hard working single developer to resposse and do something with it but nothing happens and i am afraid he gonna use several month or worst he is not able to fix them at all.

This is a really cool survival game and is really challenging. Early development and developer is active. Game is a great purchase, I picked it up for $4.99 how can you go wrong.
–———————- UPDATE November 2021 ————————
OK my above review I hold true to and I like the game but some time has passed, there hasn’t been an update of a pep from the developer, it appears this game is abandoned but who knows.
I will say there has been a few updates last year 2020 but until you see some progress with this game I would not suggest purchasing it.

We Can Make It
Basics:
We Can Make It is a solo developed third person shooter. There are four game modes: Bounty PVE, Bounty PVP, Elimination, and Battlegrounds. This game focused on competitive play and challenges the player to stay alive in all modes. There are no timers and no closing circles in this game. All damage is final and this is a permadeath game. Once your out of the game you are out for good, you can spectate your friends though!
This game also focuses on stealth and planning, for instance, when you are shot you begin leaving a blood trail in your path that players can track. You continue losing blood until you either bandage or die. All of your bullet shell casing and magazines remain on the ground for a good duration to allow players to identify your recent location. Players have a drained perk that allows highlighting the magazines, casings, blood, and footprints for a very short duration.
Game modes:
Bounty PVE: Bounty PVE is a cooperative mode with 3 other players, your goal is to eliminate the high value target as quickly and efficiently as possible. The target is fortified by plentiful AI targets. Bonus XP is rewarded for stealth accomplishment. Collect all dog tags, which is optional, and if you die you are out permanently but can spectate. The more tags you collect the more XP you get for your confirmed kills.
Bounty PVP: Bounty PVP is a solo game type facing up to 12 players, for now this is a non-dedicated server setup. Plans for releasing dedicated servers for all game modes is in the future. Your goal is to eliminate the high value target, collect the intel, and extract. That being said, this is the objective of the other players as well. Other players can steal the intel from you if they kill you. Upon eliminating other players you collect their dog tags, to grant extra XP for the confirmed kill and any money they received during their session. The bounty target is an AI hostile and is heavily fortified by plentiful other AI targets.
Elimination: Elimination is essentially Bounty PVP but you and 3 other players are to face off against 34 other players and defend your Intel, Power station, and avoid your teams HVT getting eliminated. This is the only game mode that stealth is really needed to be focused with. Upon eliminating other players you collect their dog tags, to grant extra XP for the confirmed kill It’s your team versus the world and if you make it out alive you will be granted plentiful XP for your survival.
Battlegrounds(Future update): Battlegrounds is a large open map with multiple locations to hunker down and survive the oncoming zombie onslaught. Your main objective is survival and there are 100 other players in the lobby as well doing the same. In the radius of your team you will acquire more and more zombies over time hunting you specifically. Avoid other players as the two team radiuses combine to form 2x the zombie count. Eliminate the other players and free yourself up. There are also side objectives: Hunt, Sabotage, and Intel securing. The Hunt objective is a simple kill your HVT, Sabotaging is intentionally sitting in the other team radius to bring the horde for a certain amount of time. While this is active for you it halves your zombie count and passes it off to the other team. There goal is to find you as quick as possible. Intel securing is straightforward to, just find and collect the documents for free XP. Around the map are randomly generated gun spawns and attachments as necessary. A store can be built by your teams builder that allows transfer of XP, buying equipment, and storing all ammo, guns, attachments, and dog tags into the bank for later use and trade ins. The end of this mode is done by you simply dying. Once your whole team has been eliminated you will return to the main menu with a multiplier of XP based off of your player kill count, your survival time, and objectives completed.
All in all, please keep in mind this is a solo developed game and I fully intend to work with all users in applying better game mechanics, removing bad ones, adding new ideas that people enjoy, and generally just communicate as best as possible to make this game enjoyable! -ViciousAfro
