Affordable Cat, kinda sounds like something you’d type in the search engine for pet lovers. But anyhow, this dev came up with Martha (MRT) his first published game about a deranged granny hell bent on knocking your teeth out at intermittent intervals! Its price point (a buck cheaper on itch.io btw) and length reminded me of Chilla’s Art titles and stocked with a plethora of horror references to seal the deal! Finally, a person of culture!!

I like the game, a few nice scares, overall spooky atmosphere, a few puzzles mixed in and with some combat here and there aswell. All in all a sweet little horror game, that all Indie horror game fans should enjoy, especially for this price.

I would however wish that i had a constant light source. I know.. Darkness is scary, But I also enjoy looking at my environment.

But that aside. Thanks for this little fun gem. Recommended.

Mystical Mayhem

Mystical Mayhem

Disclaimer: I’ve received this game for free via Curator Connect.

Mystical Mayhem is a weird mix of standing wave action and puzzles in the campaign mode. Both parts are mediocre at best.

Main mechanics is punching(and kicking if you have spare Vive trackers) approaching ghosts. It’s not rhythm based or focused on precision, angles or hand speed, you just hit them with a correct glove/boot before the time runs out, while occasionally dodging some projectiles thrown at you. It’s very simple and unrewarding compared to something like BoxVR, Dance Collider or many other games where you punch stuff to the beat.

Y’all I think someone in the staff likes

! Jojo.

On a more serious note, this was really fun to play! The sprite work is really great and I loved the opening when you start the game. I can very much tell that this game took some inspirations from games like Danganronpa and other murder mystery VN-type games. Along with some inspirations from games like Touhou and Ikaruga. Now, I’m not that good at bullet hells so when I checked the options and saw infinite lives I went “oh thank god”. I still very much enjoyed the gameplay from it and having to dodge the bullets while trying to figure out whether the current statement is contradictory or not (or finding the time to focus on reading it in some cases).

I played this game one night with friends and had a blast!

The unique and interesting concept definitely makes this a game to try out if you have some time to kill as the game is quite short in length. Especially appealing to Bullet Hell or Dangan Ronpa fans but can be played by anyone!

  • The dynamic soundtrack is awesome and goes lovely along side the detective work. Very befitting of the “Detective” tag!

  • Minnie and the other characters have interactions that are sweet and conversation is smooth and feels genuine.

The Dark Method

The Dark Method

This game is a fresh breath from all the wave shooters, rail shooters, jump scares, and overpriced VR tech demos that plague most VR titles. Instead; this game feels like a labor of love where the dev made an honest effort at creating a quality game with a cool atmosphere, old school puzzles, and an interesting story.   

In my opinion this is NOT a survival game. It’s like a DOOM type action shooter mixed with a ton of PS1 Resident Evil / Alone in the Dark style puzzles. The protagonist is clearly inspired by John Constantine and the first weapon makes you feel like you’re playing Castlevania VR at times.

If you are fan of immersive single player story driven adventure VR games I would really consider supporting this game!

The environments are well made and can be very large which is so cool in a headset. I got a real Goonies vibe through a lot of it which is awesome to me! The puzzles are fun, although they can be a bit cryptic at times (at least to my dense brain, I’m sure puzzle lovers will sail through this) but the Dev is more than willing to drop a hint if you get stuck and is really active in the discussions forum. The mobs and weapons are all very well made and look really cool! Overall it is a really awesome place to be in VR! This is not your typical hashed together with generic assets game that takes 45 minutes to 2 hours to complete. It is a very ambitious game that I imagine would take most people around 10 hours or so to complete? This is a rare thing for us! I think when this is completed it will be one of the top story driven single player VR games and it isn’t a bad game at all as it is now. I think this is a hidden gem that deserves attention.

On Scene - The Horror Stories of Fred & Karen

A little more effort put into this, and I can actually see it becoming a pretty fun ‘stupid funny’ game. Seriously.

As it sits, it’s good for a dumb laugh, but there’s like 4 minutes of content (my playtime is simply that long because I tried to find SOMETHING to do, and took a 15 minute phone call WHILE PLAYING IT).

Honestly? Even at a buck it’s not worth it, but I’ll hold onto it in the hopes the dev adds more eventually.
