The Signifier Director’s Cut
I was in love with this game at the start, but it went downhill for me as I played. I’m just BARELY not recommending it, but if you find yourself intrigued by the premise and gameplay, it might still be worth playing.
In The Signifier, you play as Frederick Russell, a scientist who is using AI technology to recreate memories (objective and subjective) from people’s minds, as well as dreams they’ve had. You’re tasked with helping to solve a murder (or was it a suicide?) by researching the victim’s last memories.

Full review (including score): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5IkAlvGVw4
Summarized review below!
The rundown:
Pros:
-
First half of the story
-
Really cool visual direction
Cons:
-
Latter half of the story
-
Game-breaking bugs.
-
Numerous technical issues
We get quite a few of these psychological thriller walking sims each year. A lot of them bank on their visuals while slacking on the story. Rarely though, do we get a game like The Signifier, which seems to have both of those aspects on lock. At least, that was my initial impression.

Clean Slate
This game has an incredibly compelling plot and puzzles that can be genuinely hard that are mostly satisfying when completed. It is a great homage to the Zero Escape series and you should absolutely play it if you are a fan.

Silicon Dreams | cyberpunk interrogation
Silicon Dreams: Cyberpunk Interrogation
Thoughtful, provoking, atmospheric and wonderfully written. The premise may be nothing new but I felt a genuine anxiety being judge, jury and executioner.
Silicon Dreams is a cyberpunk, futuristic courtroom for androids.
You are D-0527, an interrogation model specially designed with an extended emotional range, better equipped to detect deviancy in other androids, and humans.
– Real player with 10.9 hrs in game
In the year 2065, we are an interrogator android, owned by a robotics company Kronos to question various androids and determine if they’re operating correctly or if they’ve become deviant. At the end of each interrogation, we get to fill out a report with crucial information that can affect our reputation with the company, and then we decide what to do with the android - whether to release them, to erase their memory, or to decommission them completely.

Ms.Director
Ms. Director is a game I can’t give justice to in just words. Either by my terrible writing skills or by repeating what others have said. Yet I can say that Ms. Director is one of the best RPGmaker-style games I have played in a very long time. It succeeds with the good ol’ cliche 2D horror game formula, but feels like a refreshing new experience in the RPGmaker-style genre. Either by well-written characters, fantastic links to LGBTQ+ Hollywood history, or fantastic music.
My final words about this game being a wonderful and beautiful small indie game that has been clearly made with passion and creativity. True love, research and time went into making this and it shines with it. It’s got the typical growing pains and teething problems of being a first major RPGmaker project, but those will eventually go away when the developer learns more and grows from mistakes. Ms. Director is a game I can’t recommend enough. Just writing this review isn’t even doing it justice.

I found this game through a friend on twitter, and saw that it was an indie horror title. I went and played it, not knowing what to expect, and fell in love with the characters, art style, puns, and presentation. It’s a really solid title, with a lot of thought put into it. It is a bit short, and there are a few text errors, but it’s pretty easy to miss when you are focused on all the weird stuff happening in the mansion. I’m looking forward to seeing what sketchy nonsense puts out next.

Desolate Roads
I really wish Steam had a mixed button for reviews. This game has a really nice environment (although specific locations are really poorly done…) The monster mechanic is alright. Scares and story are really bad though. Puzzles are also quite lackluster.
Overall I can’t really recommend this one unless it goes free to play someday. Sorry Dev.
– Real player with 1.5 hrs in game
Very neat small experience in the same vein of other short horror games like Paratopic, Anatomy or Marginalia.
What makes Desolate Roads interesting and sets it apart from those titles is that it is less a walking simulator and more a super condensed version of a traditional survival horror game. You have a space to explore with different locations, light backtracking, inventory management, puzzles and also a persistent enemy force that you have to deal with.
It is a very short and focused experience but very effective and a worthy entry to that category of cool short horror games.
