The Garden Path
Far from your old life, you find yourself a new wilderness - a life once lived in these dense woods, waiting to be rediscovered.
The Garden Path explores the quiet moments of a life well lived, where your garden will grow to reflect both the passing of time and your own design. Time here runs in concert with the real world, and the passing of seasons heralds new encounters and a new story to weave.
Above all, The Garden Path is a life sim that celebrates the tranquil and the pensive, a tucked-away place to shape and grow as you like.
Designed to be played as and when you wish, The Garden Path features a wealth of stories, activities and distractions to be experienced at your own pace. Don’t have time to watch your flowers grow? Come back tomorrow: time in the garden passes alongside the real world, and you’ll find plants you nurtured one day may bloom the next.
You won’t be alone in your new home. Charming inhabitants will come and go, from Bunk, the tea-brewing macaque to Larto, a Greenlandic Musk Ox with a penchant for song-fish. You may even find some visitors willing to make their home alongside your own!
The garden is calm and still. A tender world of familiar sights and sounds, melody, and friendly faces. A space to call your own, to curate, and to reflect.
With a unique hand-drawn aesthetic, The Garden Path’s stunning visual design embraces you from the start, inviting you in and welcoming you to stay. Combined with unique soundtracks for both day and night, it won’t be long before you’re lost in the flow.
Features:
-
A humble gardening life-sim with real-time progress even when you’re away.
-
Rich illustrated visuals and original soundtracks that draw you in.
-
A charming cast of characters, all with their own stories to tell.
-
A far away corner to call your own - somewhere to pause and stay awhile.

24 Killers
Out in the Indian Ocean somewhere is a tiny desert island where a multiverse spanning drama is unfolding. You play as Home, a cursed super intelligence bound to a soldier’s corpse by an alien named Moon.
Powers: Gain powerful abilities like super strength, lightning speed, and stealth as you help Moon care for the island’s inhabitants. With these abilities, Home will be able to explore more of the island, defend themselves, solve puzzles, and get rich.
Whispers: Those living on the island were mutated by the presence of Whispers, playful sprites that love disguises. Whispers will change their disguise as Home gains new abilities. The shops around the island have adopted them as currency, and Moon is able to harness them as an energy source.
Blessings: 24 Killers features a unique file select that represents the in-game multiverse. Each “file” or “universe” has its own blessing. Blessings are optional modifications to the game rules that add extra challenge or help you complete future playthroughs faster. When you unlock a save file’s blessing, it will be available to use in all future playthroughs.

Alchemic Cutie
Alchemic Cutie is almost good. It feels aimless. The writing is a bit immature, the quest lines feels padded and there are way too many items - to the point that the world feels full of junk. There are also some loose ends design-wise which aren’t tied up, and several obvious bugs, such as the way text is displayed at times. Definitely buy on sale and only if you are really really hungry for a little sandbox farming game that is more on the gentle, aimless Animal Crossing / Slime Rancher side than on the more purposeful and rich Stardew Valley side.

Alchemic Cutie is not Stardew Valley. Probably unironically, it’s more Slime Rancher than Stardew Valley; but it’s more Graveyard Keeper than it is Slime Rancher! It’s more My Time At Portia than Graveyard Keeper and Stardew Valley but not more My Time At Portia than it is Slime Rancher.
Now that you’re confused, let’s talk about what I do and do not like about FetchQuest Slime Simulator.
This is one of those “I wish there was a Neutral Review option” reviews. I can’t bring myself to give it a negative review because I have had fun with it. When I was managing slimes, I was having fun. When I was doing what is the majority of the game, I was not having fun. The majority of the game is undoubtedly, fetchquests.

Ephemera
This game is shaping up to be a joy to play, a rare treat in the midst of Battle-Royale and FPS games of our time. The simplicity mixed with other elements makes for a fun and in-depth journey for a text based game.
On another note, as a personal childhood friend of the developer, I can safely say that they are passionate about this game and will not leave it unfinished - Their drive to complete said game, and also revamp other, already completed areas is unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend trying out this game.

FamilyWorldRoam
Just purchased this game to see how chill it was. It’s pretty chill. I tried all the different things: space station (one room, as far as I could tell), painting (bob rossish), air balloon – I was testing this in seated position and i was excited above all else to try air balloon…it doesn’t work seated. I also haven’t seen an in-game options menu to change any controls, raise or lower, etc. Ferris Wheel was fairly generic but an interesting and simple introduction as it was the first button I tried. Fireworks was pretty cool, again standard with not many to play with but it has potential and is fun to mingle with. Underwater had fun movement controls which made it interesting trying to time the movements with the sea creatures…and interestingly the controls are similar on the space station, nice floaty underwater effect right there. Aurora…now this one I really enjoyed. I free-roamed over to the lightning bugs and just looked around, it was beautiful, kept going and fell off the map. I was then under the map, walking on water jesus mode while seeing above some of how it had been built, there’s so much you could do with that map if you wanted to, I’d play that as a shooter map even….that experience was enough to give this a positive review. As far as first impressions go, it was relaxing and I enjoyed it. As far as critique, please add more control and camera options in time. I would prefer walking with the left thumbstick and turning/looking with the right thumbstick, I’m sure many others would too. Not bad though, not bad at all.

‘FamilyWorldRoam’ is a collection of 6 experiences from a slow hotair balloon flight, to a giant Ferris wheel and even some drawing. If this was free it might have been worth a look, but it most definitely isn’t worth the £4.79 asking price. It looks OK at times I suppose, but that is the only praise I can give it. The first main problem is that the developer describes this as an app that “doesn’t need complex operation”, but it is an utter shit-show to move about. There are far better things to show people new to VR that doesn’t need any movement so when this app fails to do even that it makes it kind of pointless.

Horror Stories: PLEASE COMPLY
Loved the game. Found it by chance and had it on my wish list. It’s decent for the price if the game hasn’t been spoiled for you already. I love the sense of dread and the ending. I mean I don’t love it I hate it but still!

Cutthroat Cove
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! There are way too many bugs, the major one is that you cannot craft water jars, which is a necessity, if you want to live. I have also attempted to contact the Developer with no success. I am wondering if the Dev has abandoned this game. I enjoyed playing the Demo, so I bought the game. I can tell you that it does NOT play like the Demo, it plays like an early Alpha. Do yourself a favor and avoid this fiasco. I tried to get a refund from Steam, but evidently I played for more than 2 hours, which is the limit. I have 550 games on Steam, and this is the first time I have left a bad review.

So to start the game you grab a bunch of loose stone and wood from the ground. If you grab all of the loose stone and then die of fall damage (which is easier then you would think) and can’t get to your inventory again you pretty much can’t get more.

In the game you have to earn money. You can play on a crypto exchange, or just collect bottles on the street.
Money is an integral part of the gameplay; it is used to buy food, alcohol, cigarettes and other at a local small shop, as well as various things on the Internet’s shops.
All this is necessary to maintain the physical condition of the main hero at the proper level. You can no longer sit at the computer carefree, addictions interfere with this, and money is needed to quench them.
Your only friend is a white rat. Stroking it fur lifts your spirits a little.
