Millville
Millville is a city builder with focus on its inhabitants. Provide housing and services for people to move into your town and try to collect all possible villagers there are!
Meet unique personalities, befriend them and solve their problems to unlock new buildings. You will quickly find that not everyone is happy with their neighbourhood - but some might even find the love of their life here. It is your job to help them finding their happiness within your city limits. Shouldn’t that be the job of every mayor?
Millville is for you a place to meet people, build your dream town and especially: to relax and take it slow. There is no need to rush through it, there is no urgency in the gameplay loop. Just take a breath, enjoy the view, have a sip of tea and put down a new street with a new little house.
Millville is an indie-game developed by a one-man-team in his spare time. It is inspired by class city-builders as well as farming and life simulators. Its vision is to breath more life and personality into each NPC than its usually common in city builders. The release date of Summer 2021 is subject to change.
The current goal for Millville is to offer:
-
ca. 200 unique Buildings to be built in your town
-
ca. 400 Villagers to be drawn into your city and to be collected, each with a unique personality, preferences and dislikes

The Sapling
Very reminisce of Spore, but focus on natural selection and ecology which Spore seriously lacked. I completed all the current scenarios. So a 4 out 5 for me, and must buy for anyone who want an ecological game.
In a world filled with in-your-face tutorial, Sapling tutorial teach to basic and then allow the player learn the rest thru trying out all the functions and hover-over information. A serious plus.
The scenarios are both pleasing and challenging puzzles, and as I said before the scenarios teach the player how to use the game thru experimentation over in-your-face hand-holding flood of pop-up tutorials that plague the gaming world. Even once you completed all scenarios, the sandbox is actually challenging and very satisfying despite the fact everything is unlocked. With mutation and time-skip for sand-box, it allow you is more accurate natural selection.

I really love this game, I also love creating creatures to play as, or to just simply observe them evolving! Its fun to see how they would do in the wild trough a simulation. Though, this game is small and all, I’d want to be able to use a brush tool to change moisture and temperature of places, with it automatically changing the color and creating puddles or mud, maybe even a coloring tool to give the ground some color! *With this there should be an option to make the lakes not be automatically created. But also, we should be able to create our own lakes, so we can make a swamp-like environment for our creations to survive in! But really, overall I’d rate this game an 8.5/10 , one of the problems I have is lag, even with a good pc and low settings, probably due to many things moving at once all the time and the crashing. Another issue is the time cap I encountered, everything froze and I could only get past it trough a time skip, which took a whole 7 minutes to be done. But I enjoy this game alot, despite the issues. Hope you guys can develop this game to be one of the best simulation games ever!

The Isle of Elanor
The Isle of Elanor is an open-ended role playing game. It features real-time combat, a strong focus on player choice, and a High Fantasy narrative. The game borrows mechanics from Dwarf Fortress, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Stardew Valley and the Witcher Series.
You wash ashore on The Isle of Elanor, the last bastion of humanity remaining in the world. You retain only fragments of your memory – your origins are a mystery. The people of the isle are puzzled by your inexplicable arrival.
The situation on the island is grim: many people are poor, destitute, and in some cases close to starving. There’s social strife and division. You’re given a small plot of land. Can you help humanity survive?
-
At the highest difficulty level, the game is meant to be challenging. If you’re not careful, you will starve.
-
Select skills and attributes to determine your build: a tank, melee fighter, or a ranged attacker? Or choose a build that doesn’t specialize in combat.
-
The Isle of Elanor is a game about player choice. What type of home to build? Who to befriend or who to make an enemy of?
-
Set in an imaginary period of the Earth’s past, it’s a world that borrows elements from both Midgard and Middle Earth. The peoples of Middle Earth (humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, etc) appear in the game.
-
Complex combat mechanics featuring single-handed (quick) and two-handed (long-range) basic attacks, skills (magic), and the use of a shield.
-
Build workshops near your home and hire townspeople. This is more than a farming, fishing, and mining game. In fact, your home isn’t necessarily a farm. You can create an industrial center where you manufacture pottery, or craft weapons and armor.
-
Hire townspeople to perform the mundane tasks of watering and harvesting your crops.
-
Become a part of the community. Give food, items, and jobs to needy townspeople. Watch the townspeople prosper, or decline, along with the home you build. You will face the consequences of your actions.
-
Deep branching dialog options. Learn about the people and the history of the island.
-
Features a realistic geology model. Stone occurs in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic layers. Some types of stone, ore, and jewels are available to mine only in certain layers.
-
Just a few of the types of stone: Bauxite, Cobalite, Granite, Gypsum, and Olivine. When you craft an item out of stone, the item retains the properties (color, weight, value) from the stone. The same mechanic applies to items crafted from wood.
-
Factional alliances. The non-player characters on the island are grouped into factions. Most NPCs have families. Your relationship with one family member affects your relationship with the other family members. There are multiple towns in the game which also form factions.
-
The Isle of Elanor can be played as a management game, akin to Dwarf Fortress, where you juggle the complexity of managing your employees and selecting Industries to specialize in.
-
The townspeople of the island change over the course of game. Their appearance, happiness, needs, and skills evolve as the island changes. The townspeople have crafting skill levels that improve over time. Townspeople change their clothing based on the seasons and their financial wellbeing.
-
The pricing of items in the game changes over time. There is a supply and demand mechanic. The more that you sell of an item, the less it is worth.
-
Features an extensive main plot line that occurs over three chapters, all recorded in your journal.
-
The guiding principle behind the quest system is consequences. Quests result in small changes here and there to show how the world is changed – for better or worse.
Bloody trains
Ask for tickets, check for bombs, clean the train, Do all sorts of other duties - sometimes people die, sometimes you die. Bit of a mind boggle of a game with crazy unique art.

How to make heads or rails of Bloody Trains…?
I purchased this software on artistic merit alone, feeling an instant affinity towards the aesthetic. i fell aboard blindly, ready to chugga chugga woo woo. The controls are simple — the instructions are non-existent — you’ll scratch your head, it will blood, and you will like it. Although confusing, the lack of direction is not a setback. The simple controls allow for intuitive gameplay, and the smartly designed symbols and signage within the game do unfold with meaning as you progress. This is the perfect game for anyone who likes to think and frown before figuring out a satisfactory gotcha or aha! It may not be for you if you prefer to be spoon fed.

Project Existence - Multiplayer Sandbox
Before anyone gives this game a bad review, remember it is in very early access. I have enjoyed the game so far for what it is, and I can’t wait to see it grow into something much bigger.
Devs are very responsive on Discord and are always happy to answer any questions/suggestions players have.
– Real player with 24.6 hrs in game
Most current reviews are poor due to it being a very early version game, the game is actually well put together for such an early version of the game, and the Devs are awesome
If you are reading my review you are reading the best one, please ignore all currently negative reviews and either try it or write the name down and come back later…
I hope the Devs, the players and everyone else has a lovely day, afternoon, night (relatively)

My Time At Portia
Is it Stardew Valley or another Harvest Moon clone? No! Will you enjoy it if you liked them, however? I’d say there’s about a 97% chance that you will. Let’s see why…
You have a house near a city. You harvest natural resources (the usual suspects: axes for trees, pickaxes for minerals), you can farm….wait, can? Not have to? Yeah, farming isn’t the central point of this game. Just like how in Stardew Valley, farming was necessary and crafting is optional (but highly recommended and you’re limited if you don’t), the same holds true here. You can farm, but you really must craft. After all, that’s the point of all of those mats you’re collecting. You fulfill orders, charm and insinuate yourself into the good graces of the locals, and likely eventually marry and reproduce with one of them (or adopt, if you’re the same gender)

This is an incredible game and the best Early Access game I’ve played since Grim Dawn. I’m 70 hours into this game and it feels like a complete product to me. There are 0 bugs thus far. It is well optimized.
I played some Animal Crossing back in the day on Game Cube and while it had its charm, it felt limited to me. It certainly didn’t pull me in the way this game does. This game has so much to do and much more depth to it than I was expecting going into it.
There is a social aspect with the folks around town that is a mini-game in its own including play dates, gifting, and completing crafting assignments, mini-missions, or mini-games like exercising a pet pig. Reaching certain friendship levels unlocks bonuses like store discounts and gifted items.
