The Deed of Deception

The Deed of Deception starts as a 4-player cooperative puzzle game. Working together to find the deed and inherit your fortune. Once the deed is discovered the players realize that there is no inheritance to be had. There is something in this manor. Something ancient, something…evil. The player who finds the deed becomes possessed. Given special abilities and powers with the singular mission of trapping their friends and stealing their souls to fuel the evil in this place. The gameplay changes based on the type of possession the manor decides to use. Each variation offers different abilities. Sometimes using the element of deception to trick or brute strength to overpower. The souls of those who have been trapped try to help any way they can. Maybe giving items, or hints. Anything they can to help those escape where they failed.

Fire and Brimstone

The possessed is given the power to wield ethereal flame. The flames consume the manor slowly creeping from room to room as he lays traps for the panicked players to step in and succumb to the flame while they search for the ingredients to the potion to extinguish the flame with the help of the spirits in the manor.

The Grog

An ancient pet of Beelzebub himself inhabits the body of the possessed. The grog can freeze the players in fear. Unable to move. The only thing that can stop the grog is holy light and the players must find all of the broken pieces of the holy lantern before the grog freezes everyone.

_The Manor is calling for you, will you answer? Uncle Barnabas sadly met his maker. Before he left this plane, he designed several puzzles and challenges to test his relatives and find a fit heir to take possession of his fortune. Finding the deed within the house will be the answer to your players. Strangely you don’t remember your uncle. At least not until this strange butler came to tell you of his last will and testament. But you go because, why not? The promise of riches is far too tempting to let go…

The deed is more than paper and ink. It is something ancient. Something …. Evil. Promising possession of unimaginable riches but the possession is not of things. IT, this place, possesses you. Manifesting the evil within these walls into the poor soul who stumbles upon and awakens it. This manor means to unleash the evils from other dimensions into our world. They need the life force of you and your friends to open their gate. They have almost completed their work and you are all that stand in the way of this unimaginable plan. Can you stop them?_

Whiskers & Tail

Fun Little game, but I wish they would have put more time into the sound design. I had to turn off the music after a little bit and the button press sounds were a little jarring but overall I enjoyed it. I like the story that ties all the levels together so it’s not just a series of puzzles. I would recommend.

Adventure Minesweeper

Mixed recommendation. It’s casual minesweeper-style game, with several, fixable issues.

Imagine Minesweeper, except instead of mouse, you walk on the map and turn tiles. Turning a mine will result in a health-loss. Also, there are stones (impreachable points) and food (healing). Find all non-mine spots and you find the exit.

That’s Adventure Minesweeper as a concept and in a nutshell.

Does it work?

Idea is actually alright. It introduces some deviations from the regular Minesweeper tactics.

I finished in ~35 minutes and my brother took ~45 minutes. Good length for the price.

The atmosphere / style is reminiscent of Abode. Sharp, clean visuals and sound with a strong sense of theme. So for the environment, I’ll give it an A.

The puzzles were good. Fairly standard per the genre, but nicely incorporated into the room. Easy level took about 10 minutes. Hard only took me another 15 minutes as there were no new elements, but some increase in challenge per puzzle. Gameplay gets a B+.

Overall, very nice. It’s one I’m keeping, as it’s short but challenging. A perfect escape room to share with anyone. Kids and adults can enjoy it, and finish in a reasonable amount of time too. Well done. I hope to see more of your work in the future. :)

Lockdown VR: Kidnapped

I was having a party and we decided to give this game a try on the side. Turned out to be quite fun competing with my friends and time. The puzzles were challenging i think it was a worthwhile purchase. With VR the escape rooms comes to me and not vica versa i like it.

This is a good game with interesting puzzles. Great for those who like multiplayer escape rooms. Could I request the developers to PLEASE add an option to turn off the timer. You guys have taken the trouble to create the environment and we like to be able to investigate it in a leisurely way.

The Cryptologist Room

Terrible controls, clunky movement, unclear objective ( objective says enter answer in the book, but what are we answering?) I spent 3 hours in first room and hours of research on LOTR and cannot figure out what the question is much less an answer. I like puzzle games and cryptograms but the first puzzle has no clear direction. not fun.

I tried the first puzzle and it racked my brain! An excellent switch from the horror games I’ve been playing. The graphics are excellent and the puzzles are really challenging!

The only downfall I see is that there are many spelling errors (i.e. asnwer, rigns). It’s a small thing, but it’s noticeable when you have to analyze practically everything in order to progress. Otherwise, highly recommend so far!

Trap Adventure

The gameplay is ok and the graphics are great, but there are many things, that you could improve, which would make this a positive review:

the game needs some other thing to do than just the core gameplay, like upgrades shops or whatever
there should be some way to see how far in the game you are or there should be a thing to grind for, like a item in a shop
the music is extremely obnoxious, having looped happy music while you are playing a irritating game is very annoying
you should show the mechanics like buttons, the darts ,spikes or the flames slowly one after another level by level instead of giving them all to the player at once which is kinda overwhelming and makes the game shorter as well

Pretty cool game, quite difficult. I like the music, its nice to listen too it when you mess up at a final bit of a level.

Dungeon Slime: Puzzle’s Adventure

Realmente desafiante. Gráficos bons e som melhor ainda. A música desse jogo realmente é muito boa, se incorpora brilhantemente ao mundo do jogo. Cheguei na fase 15, tive que quebrar a cabeça porque não sou bom de puzzels. Mas quando abri o jogo novamente só estava salvo até a fase 12…

Realmente um ótimo jogo, um bom investimento.

The game is amazing in every aspect of what it has to offer! Simple and yet very challenging with a beautiful hand-painted scenario made by a very good artist! You need to think every step that you move or else, you will die, a lot!

A must buy for hard core puzzle lovers! I highly recommend this game!

9/10
