Monolith
I have only really played for like an hour so far, but the game is pretty solid already. What I have seen though is promising, and I hope this game doesn’t end up like other early access nightmares.
Pros:
I only have used Mjolnir and Aegis so far, but from what I could tell they were fun. I plan to try some other stuff for my next play through.
The bosses that I seen where pretty cool.
The upgrades for the weapons mostly looked unique, it depends on how many you get per playthrough, and if they alter the way you play at all.

I’ve never really played any games like this one, newer and also less known.
However I will tell you this, after my 5 hours of in game experience (Many more to come) I can say without any doubt this game deserves a lot more attention, I actually have no idea why it’s not.
There’s really some unique and to be honest genius features that I’ve never really seen used in a game.
I highly recommend giving this game a chance, the current price is a steal, definitely worth a lot more.
I will definitely be paying attention not only to this game but also 202-N Studios.

So, tell us, Mr. Abysss, how is the game? Is it Intriguing? Is it mysterious? Engaging?
- Oh, so many questions! Yes, I can say that the story has intrigued me from the beginning, it’s pretty mysterious. If it wasn’t for the poor level design and some other major problems that affect the game…
Such as? Oh but tell us first more about the poor level design.
- Indeed, well, to begin with, there are large end empty boring halls, boring icy tunnels and generic current that takes you exactly where you need to go like some kind of an elevator. There is also some aquatic life here and there, but it’s not many species and it gets repetitive fast.

First off the game seemed interesting fromt he start. strange alien like rocks, unknown creatures and a plot that seemed to convey a corrupt corporation or perhaps some eosrt of rougue A.I or alien life form. Of course at the end of it all, none of what I thought was the case was the actuall case. Not only that bt I was able to beat this thing in only a day. NO JOKE….A DAY!!!! Yeah for a small dev team the game looked nice and the modeling and detail on the aquatic creatrues was something to behold but the story I felt mislead me thinking the game was heading into a more interesting, horror driven narritive. Sure being underwater is scary and yes oversized man eating worms make my skin crawl but what I got form the entire thing was a interesting adventure game that just so happens to have a message about psychological disfunction and what you could do to deal with it. As far as I’m concerned the game does have multiple endings the one i got was with Sonya still trapped, CHris dead, and Ryan going absolutly bat shit insane after being rescued. Not sure if there is an ending where I could save sonya or perhaps do something different but it seems the options are to either do what chris asks and thats it. Not sure if pickign to shut down the A.I. manager would have cahnged much.

the office simulation
A pretty good game for a game jam, however there are some things that need to be pointed out.
What I like.
Environment- I honestly enjoyed the environment since it reminded me of those liminal space images you’d see online and the uncanniness of the graphics helps with that.
What needs to be worked on.
Movement- the movement feels too floaty and there is a slight choppiness with the camera.
Quality of life- some quality of life things are missing from the game currently such as the ability to mess with the options from the pause menu, other bits are minor such as the keyboard clipping through the table at the beginning.

Spacious room to move around and clear pathing make Office Simulator a solid platformer. With firm controls and the classic Mario Land style of air control, you’ll have no problem maneuvering the various obstacles strewn about.
Unfortunately however, there is no visible way to boot up Dallen Clicker on the office computer, so I can only recommend getting this during a sale.

Story
The first half of the game doesn’t have much plot beyond clearing game boards because of the protagonist’s curiosity, though there is some lore about the previous heroine. The second half has more lore and more stakes, as well as several plot bombshells. While I did like the story of the second half, I can see the lack of real conflict in the first half turning new players off before they can get to the better half.
Gameplay
The first few parts of the game make it hard to gather any resources. Enemies don’t drop money and they aren’t guaranteed to drop sellable items, meaning the player is stuck in a resource drought situation if they try to do traditional grinding. This can be intimidating because in the beginning, the only way to fully recover the robot is to pay 10 cents, which means inefficient gameplay can result in waste of limited money. The resource situation does get better in the later parts of the game, since the player can find free healing/save statues and an accessory that increases the drop rate.

An easy but very nice RPG game. Its style really attracts me, and maybe anyone who loves ‘nostalgia’.
And if you love collecting things, or riddling, this game can be unexpectedly a little hard for you.
BTW bugs are seen too often, and the scene called ‘Sesame Hideout’ even disappears! Hope it can be fixed sooner.

I Know Everything
The questions are okay, although very difficult. The achievements are ludicrous. ‘Get to the top 10 for all players’, or multiplayer victories with a dead playerbase. Nope.

So I picked up this game because I was bored of the games my friend and I usually play every day. It’s not the most polished game, as there are many spelling/grammar errors, but we had fun for 30 or so minutes. My biggest complaint is the difficulty of questions and the limited category choice. Maybe the developer(s) plan(s) to add more categories in the future, that would be nice. If $3 isn’t much to you, I guess it’s worth it for maybe an hour or two maximum of entertainment with a friend.
