Time Bandit – Part 1: Appendages of the Machine
A Game That Takes Time
A dark life sim that unfolds slowly in real time, with an unusual combination of elements from idle, stealth, and puzzle genres.
Make your choices carefully, because everything you start will take time to finish–just like in real life. Place down one of these automated forklifts to push a box for you, for example, and it’ll take an actual half an hour to finish moving it:
You’ll just have to go and do other stuff and come back later.
You work as an independent contractor for a mining company, but soon you discover they’re trying to take control of time in order to make you work for them forever. Manage your money, fuel, and energy while slowly solving puzzles to collect the time crystals and then pull off high-stakes stealthy heists to steal back from your employer.
Featuring tons of real-time game mechanics:
-
Move boxes, grow trees, build bridges, and compact trash–and wait for them to finish.
-
Different guard rotations and different consequences for getting caught depending on the time of day when you play.
-
A story that unfolds slowly through conversations that work like real-life phone calls. Characters will only call you periodically to advance the story over the course of days and weeks of playtime.
-
Your energy meter goes down while you play, and it takes up to 8 real-time hours of good sleep to fill it up all the way.
-
Meet characters at the actual meeting times that you set with them.
-
Real-time dynamic music.
-
And much more.
A Story of Political Intrigue
The first part of an epic, explicitly anticapitalist melodrama, told through lowpoly cutscenes and radio conversations inspired by early cinematic games. The company’s CEO and shareholders have come up with a scheme to live forever, but it will mean sacrificing the lives of their workers. Fight for a world where everyone has a right to their time.
Use the realistic radio to call characters anytime for dialogue about whatever situation you’re in. You’ll find hints on what to do next, details that expand the story, fourth wall–breaking humor, and more.
A challenge with real consequences: Don’t get caught by guards or let yourself fall asleep, or you might end up stuck waiting it out in jail or the hospital.
Fixed camera angles in gameplay, just like in the old days. With a real-time day-and-night cycle and real-time weather tied to your location, to make the game integrate more with your life.
Tons of playtime in part one alone. And you can use your save file to continue where you left off when the next part comes out. Truly commit to the long haul of the real-time experience.

Bigfoot Forest
the best $0.49 game you’ll ever buy. With a simple concept and lore you’re able to build your own story. You decide why you track Bigfoot down to the suburbs to hunt him or that you came back from a trip to disney land and ran out of gas trying to get out of there as fast as possible. Theres many ways to play and things to discover as long as you just look for them. The forest suburb setting is pretty nice. You can either raid the suburb for gas or take to the forest to hunt bigfoot easier. The game can get a little scary when you lose track of bigfoot and he sneaks up on you. The bigfoot model may be the perfect embodiment of fear itself. The unknown tall figure running towards you in the night so fast you hit the floor dead before you can even say “hey dude.” you can get creative with the cars and fences around to find better ways to get around the big feet stalker. This game lets you get pretty creative. all in all this game does just what it says and lets you hunt bigfoot, you can change it up from its simple premise if you just try. 9/10 bigfoot game

Full play through with sasquatch murder ending and all gas tank endings: https://youtu.be/xJMR7QrvBkw
I had to rebuy this game cause after reading the about for the game just to be fair. You do have a gun. There’s no controls in game that let you know or anything to even hint that you have a gun at the start. You have to scroll your mouse wheel. Sadly the game doesn’t have much pay off regardless if you find the gas tanks or kill sasquatch it’s the same lame ending. Positives the game does work once you figure out how to draw your gun and it can be tense when sasquatch runs off after you shoot him while your collecting gas tanks since his timing is sporadic and unreadable. The creators should have really made the pterodactyl screech more for when he hits you instead of when you hit him for jump scare when he sneaks up on you since there’s no sounds when he’s approaching and him screeching when you hit him gets old fast. It’s alright for 84 cents.

Wild West Z
Even though this game is released in early access, it is far from complete and not made with common user experiences in mind. Here’s some reasons of why you shouldn’t buy this game at this point:
POOR UI
-There’s no key re-binding. The only mention of controls is through dialogue at the very beginning and the main menu tells you nothing.
-During character dialogue, pressing tab or control allows you to edit their text lines, and you can’t back out of this “debug” mode unless you restart the game save.

Okay, look at how bad the trailer looks and then understand that the trailer makes this game look about 50 times better than it actually is.
This game and developer should be FINED.. and then have his face SLAPPED HARD… for one reason. He has maximum MOTION BLUR and NO SETTING TO TURN THIS CRAP OFF! WTF?!!? Yes, fine this guy AND slap the hell out of him!
It’s buggy, it’s not fun to play. It’s much more comedy than it is a fun “action shooter”. If you think ridiculous bugs like a bridge breaking apart for no reason and spinning at 3,000 spins per minute in mid air. Ugh. LOL! No, UGH!

I dont play stealth games often but this was actually not that bad. Apart from the gore it has. The enemies AI walk into thier own traps HAHA probably the most funny thing about this game I would say you should probably buy this when its on discount otherwise there are better games. Good game. Needs more Updates and Levels

Francisca 2
The hide and seek mechanics are weird. It seems like the ghost girl AI just hones onto the player most of the time. And this is on day one of the game. One time she was inside the house upstairs looking for me because the game before I was upstairs in the last bedroom where she always found me. So I think she was looking where I was the last game but I tried hiding in the garage. After that she always found me in the garage. She was close enough that I could see her through a window in the garage door but yet there was no danger sound.

I really really enjoyed this. Very spooky. Very horrible. One for more hard core horror fans.
Word of warning though. There is no strafe, which makes movement feel odd. Also, needs a brightness slider for the V Pro 2.

The game is really good and has so far been the most scary game I played.
The graphics and immersion is great and so is the sound.
For the bad things. the walking is based on head orientation instead of hand.
I disliked some levels where you had to go back and forth to progress the story, mainly the last level in the mansion.

Escape From Monster
ME AND MY FRIEND STAN THIS GAME!
IT’S GREAT!!!
love seeing all of the improvements with the second map being released. better textures and details as well as atmosphere. the sounds effects create a great sense of urgency.
the highlight of this update has to be the second map’s atmosphere. being barley able to see a few feet in front of you and only being able to see red eyes in the darkness was actually terrifying. the third monster also bussin as f
love this game sm i cannot explain. as both a meme and genuine fear 10/10

We had a lot of fun even though it was short. For a game that you start fresh in every time it has just the right amount of stuff to do to be challenging without being incredibly tedious.
Here is a video of our first bit of gameplay.
