Mira
Mira is more of a visual novel with some hidden-object elements - there is no exploration or inventory-based puzzles that you would find in traditional adventure games. You can complete the game around 90 minutes, although I suspect that I have not discovered the ‘true ending’. There are several story choices which in theory should change the ending cutscene, but so far I got the same result following 2 different paths, however, I noticed more than 2 possibilities to end the game. I don’t know if I am giving the developer too much credit, it would be a shame if all ‘hard decisions’ had the same outcome. When it comes to puzzles, I have never played a game in this genre with so little challenge; there are only 3 types of easy riddles, including pattern matching, hidden-object, and sequencing (and I could do most of them with my eyes closed).

New Point-and-Click Adventure - Mira
Mira is a point-and-click adventure following an enigmatic heroine of the same name on a journey from a World War II ravaged Kraków to the mystical land of Navia, heavily inspired by Slavic folklore. The game, a definite labour of love, releases today after over six years of development by two-person team Too Husky and is a delightful amalgamation of hand-painted art-work and cleverly interwoven mythology.
Overall, Mira is a short but enjoyable experience in which the interwoven narrative, storytelling techniques and stunning artwork are the standout features. The WWII setting is not very obvious but the inspiration drawn from Slavic folklore is very apparent and adds an extra element of curiosity for the player.

TITANKIN: Prologue
Great game with a fantastic story. Loved the combat and animations.
The game was a bit harder than I expected at the beginning, but once I understood the mechanics and planned things a bit more strategically it became a fun challenge.
Can’t wait to see what FerfWorks comes up with in the future!!

Titankin: Prologue is extremely charming. The characters are all really fun and pleasant to spend time with. If you love classic JRPGs, awesome pixel art, and loveable characters you will love this game.
Something most JRPG fans will also appreciate is the level of challenge. It manages to be tough without being frustratingly difficult. You’re going to need to make use of your items and manage your resources well, but the feeling of accomplishment is in line with classic JRPGs of the past, games which clearly inspire Titankin in its execution.

Jiangshi x Daoshi
I absolutely love this game! It uses a refreshing mix of static avatars & backgrounds, with frequent animation and motion comic action panels reminiscent of Dead Leaves. This gives the game an extremely dynamic feel, which makes up for the lack of choices. Like many Visual Novels, heavy emphasis is on the word Novel, as such, interaction in this game is mostly limited to hunting for words that the in-game hover-dictionary may explain for you.
Jiangshi X Daoshi boasts a rich story packed with fantastic Chinese mythology/historical information, with a wholesome dynamic between the main characters.

Please be mindful that this is the censored version uploaded to steam.
I wish to bring awareness to this. Apparently this VN was banned upon submission because of certain scenes and they’ve fought tooth and nail the bring it back for us to enjoy. Bans usually mean end of the line for most games from what I have heard. I’ve went back in to check most of these scenes and they aren’t even close to becoming questionable.

Free Spirit VR Meditation
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/H0tCFSIIXAo
This is an about 10 minute long, meditative experience through the Peruvian Andes Mountains. Where you basically teleport up a quick climb, see the scenic views, then sit at a campfire. There’s a narrator saying a prayer to the fire in English. You can also draw during this and then send your painting to the fire. That’s it basically.
Experience is running on the Unreal Engine. I was getting variable frame rates from 90 to frame rates in the 40s fps. The visuals were just okay and something that would be fine in a free to play experience. The ambient sounds were also just okay. While the narration was good and the musical score, that doesn’t exactly amount to a premium experience. There’s only teleport for the locomotion and the locomotion was not smooth (as it was difficult to turn in the direction you wanted).

Empowering meditative experience, highly recommended! Either if you are a an experienced or beginner meditator.
This 10-15min experience delves you into the visually-stunning site of Machu Pichu, where you follow a trail alongside a beautiful voice that guides you. The sun sets alongside the walk, creating delightful light effects. This visually rich experience guides you to release your fears and envision the life that you want.
Although some people may consider the experience short, the power of this piece stands on the intention you put on it. It is not about quantity of scenarios, it is about your sincerity when setting your intentions in front of the fire, to release what you don´t need and bring about the life that you envision.

Little Hats
Not bad at all for an early alpha. Plenty of space to run around, harvesting, crafting and building systems work, some dangers, a bit of detailed neighborhoods already in. Pro tip: agarics are not poisonous to gnomes!
I would recommend the game while it is cheap and just hope a sole developer comes through and finishes the project. I personally have a good feeling about this : )

I’m really look forward to see a co-op in near future. This game has so much potential.

The Lost Shrine - Escape Room
The game is quite challenging but still very enjoyable. I recommend giving it a try if you enjoy puzzle/escape room games.

I wish I actually got to play this game but the controls are so difficult to use that I couldn’t even get past the game menu. It won’t let me select the language, but then it randomly switched everything to Spanish and I can’t change it back. Selecting anything at all is difficult and turning on the fingertip option didn’t make any visible change. The game also changes your height alignment every time you open it, so you have to go into the menu and adjust it every time, otherwise you’re sinking into the floor or floating near the ceiling. Fix these controls, PLEASE!
