The USB Stick Found in the Grass
Really immersive game. I love it so far. I played it for several hours this evening and mostly just read the diary, which was a great story. Most games that have a diary, the diary is pretty bland but this was intriguing and I spent the whole time enjoying the story while also trying to anticipate what might be a clue or not.
I’m stuck at a part, but still working at it. The discord channel is very helpful https://discord.gg/TnWCnkEK

After You
I enjoy a challenge so I jumped into this game. You play (from a 1st person perspective) a guy who has just woken up and found that everything around him has changed. There are police cars, crime tape, and evidence of bloodshed. You decide to hit the road but have to jump through a series of puzzles before the car keys become available.
The first chapter puzzles were fairly straightforward, once I found my entry point (which was obvious, with 20/20 hindsight). I then drove out to Chapter 2 which went well until I ended up totally stuck with one item in inventory and nowhere to go. It is a very dark landscape and, after hours of stumbling around with a flashlight, I needed a hint to proceed. Turns out the clue was right in front of me and I had not recognized it in the dark.

This is a very moving visual novel that does an excellent job of creating small vignettes, introducing the player to many characters. I really felt how they emphasized the weight of a human life, how much was lost in this horrible attack. It’s very short; I recommend you spend half an hour to play.

Cybernetic Fault
From the very beginning I can say that the game surprised me a lot. I didn’t expect this from an indie game with a couple of reviews. The game has everything from puzzles to plot. The graphics are nice, the tasks themselves (quests, puzzles) are very high quality and interesting, it is a pleasure to pass them.
Summing up, I can say that the game is definitely worth its money and even more.

Cybernetic Fault surprised me a lot because I didn’t expect such a high-quality indie game.
The gameplay is based on the principle of seek and think, the necessary things are scattered throughout the level and only appear if there is a story advance. The controls are very simple, but it is strange that a person cannot overcome some obstacles by jumping or sitting down. The graphics are great, the optimization is also fine. As a result, it turned out to be a cool and very entertaining game.

Nuremberg: VRdict of Nations
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/U7jtJ03pfbg
This app originally released in Russian so I didn’t download it. Luckily, English language support was added back on November 3, 2021. I strongly recommend this experience for anyone interested in history. I will note that the developer is a Russian government owned news agency (Russia Today). However, I found all the information in this app to be historically accurate.
And this is an important piece of history to remember. This is about the trial of five Nazi criminal defendants which include: Göring, Dönitz, Rosenberg, von Ribbentrop and von Schirach. You’re basically collecting evidence in this app sufficient for their conviction and sentencing for crimes against humanity. The whole experience takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete. Most of the information is narrated for you and you will see some videos, lots of photos, & several texts, along with visiting different historically important locations for these defendants.

Nuremberg: VRdict of Nations is a free to play VR experience that is about history. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok, was understandable. This program is now in English, by selecting the English flag on desk. Has 13 steam achievements. Has instructions on vr use at beginning. The English voiceovers was understandable. You have 5 persons of interest to investigate. Looks like there is more than 30 minutes of playtime in this program. You have to search for clues in a linear fashion.
