Conspiracy!
A short but exceedingly sweet little game of deduction in the style of The Return of the Obra Dinn. The musical finale is the cherry on the cake of a well written and well voice acted gem.

A bit like a light weight ‘Return of the Obra Din’ - read the conspiracy posts, listen to the podcasts and the google stuff to pinpoint dates. When did Bryan Adams play a certain venue, what is Taylor Swifts birthday, what year did 21 May fall on a … Good fun for a couple of hours.

Its a good game, i recommend it if its a good sale.
The story is nice and the puzzles are somewhat hard, but not a lot.
The only downside is that it is very short.

7th Chance
It’s a short walking simulator where you get to learn a bit about yourself and some of the consequences of your life choices. The dev responded same day to fix most of the bugs I reported, and it’s native for Linux OS’s. Only thing I didn’t like about it is you can’t walk faster. If it ever goes on sale, definitely pick it up.

Back Then
Back Then is a yet unseen take in the videogame industry about an elderly poet diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, dealing not only with how our elders and their families change and learn to adapt to this newfound unavoidable and inevitable loss of memory and identity, but also show players that there is more to these situations than simple forgetfulness as we age.
Thomas Eilian is an elderly poet and writer diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Bound to only move around in a wheelchair, he finds himself alone for what seems like years roaming an empty house. “The clock is ticking, the hours are going by. The past increases, the future recedes. Possibilities decreasing, regrets mounting.”
-
In-depth narrative and storytelling experience.
-
Creative gameplay mechanics related to Alzheimer’s and forgetfulness, where the character starts to remember (and forget) his past and present.
-
Inspired by real events and stories of people with Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative diseases, told by family members and loved ones.
-
Focus on interactivity, grab, interact with everything and learn as much as possible.
-
Scientific breakdown via collectibles about Alzheimer’s.
This is a story about Time, Death, and Soul. It is a story about the mind, from the mind. It is a story about ignorance and forgetfulness.
Through this story we hope to make as many people as we can uncomfortable, but aware to the reality of millions.
Dark Threads
My initial experience was…. well I could not move from I spawn and I kept getting a little ways into the prologue before weird things would happen like I would fly out of the map or stop being able to move around.
I still don’t know if it was my computer or not but I reinstalled the game and played it again and things seem to work great with the exception of some objects causing me to walk backwards when I pick them up.
If you enjoy sci fi and/or walking simulators you will enjoy this game. It is clear a lot of time and care has gone into production values.

Its alright. Would give it a neutral review if I could. Positive just because I like that the Canadian government is helping fund VR experiences like this.
Short (roughly ~1.5 hours) sci-fi experience (aka “walking simulator”) with a very overt environmental message. Production values are alright but many of the textures are very low-res. Little interactivity beyond walking slowly and picking things up.
It wasn’t bad, but I have to say I was slightly underwhelmed at the end. It needed either better production values or a longer, more fleshed out story to be truly memorable.

Forgiveness : Escape Room
I played this when it first came out and just recently revisited Forgiveness. It is a well done ‘escape the room’ game with 7 distinctly separate locations to solve and exit. Each room is assigned to one of the Seven Deadly Sins. In some cases, I saw the relationship between the room and the sin but others are a bit obtuse.
Puzzles consist of finding items, decoding passwords, and generally looking at conceptual clues to puzzle your way through the exit door. Most can be solved if you are willing to look at everything (high and low, under and over).

You wake up dazed! You look around to find yourself alone, locked in a room which appears at first glance to be an infirmary. A voice comes over a speaker and begins talking to you. He claims he is God and that you are there to be judged for your sins. He will continue to explain to you why you’re there and that you do have a chance at redemption if you can pass his test. You are given clues scattered around each room; you must find them to complete the puzzles and pass the challenge. Some clues are visual, some are items you will need to collect and figure out how they fit into the puzzle you need to solve in order to escape. You will examine many items laying around the rooms for hidden clues that are needed to solves the puzzles. Your time is at hand; you have been chosen. Try to find the clues and solve the riddles that lay before you or face the consequences of your sins.

Kosmonavtes: Escape Reality
Kosmonavtes: Escape Reality is a pretty basic and straightforward room escape game targeted at novice players due to its low challenge puzzles.
There are 8 chapters in total, each of them consisting of only 2 screens. There’s not much else to do apart from picking up a few objects, combining them with the environment while going several times back and forth between these screens and solving one final, big puzzle (like a jigsaw / a nonogram). An in-game, text-based hint system is also available, making things even more accessible in case you get stuck, and it is fairly well done (you receive hints for the exact stage in which you’re stuck).

Manipulate: Sacrifice
Meh…
This indie-horror game is very bland. The game feels empty, the walking pace is horribly slow which takes this game longer to beat, the sub title text is incredibly small and goes a quickly making it hard to understand what the hell is going on at times.
Also the cut scenes are hilariously bad and often don’t make sense.
It’s a very easy, straight forward walking simulator and you can beat in about 1 hour if the walking speed wasn’t so painfully slow.
