Black Ido

Black Ido

Added new game mechanics with gravity and physics, no rotation.This is a good independent

game in a gloomy atmospheric world.

Creating a sequel to a good game is no simple task. But somehow, Dnovel did it. They

improved The Square Key every conceiveable way.

If you liked TSK, you’ll LOVE Black Ido.

Although disappointing for it to turn out as a Fnaf “clone”, this game is still very good and has many great tricks and moments up it’s sleeve to elevate itself above most others and leave it’s own unique mark. The art style and quality of the in-between night sections are enough to distinguish it and make me wish there was more of them rather than the fnaf-styled gameplay. I’ll be looking forward to whatever this developer might make next.

Pecaminosa - A Pixel Noir Game

Pecaminosa - A Pixel Noir Game

Do you get value out of the price you pay? Yes and catching it in during a sale is a no brainer to add to your collection. There aren’t many noire themed games after all.

The presentation and the vision for this game is up there. As a backer for this game, I feel satisfied with what the team delivered. You can feel the effort and passion that this small indie team poured into this project.

  • Visuals are really good, except for the character portraits present in the dialogue boxes as those could have been touched on a little bit more.

After following this game’s progress for quite a while and now being able to play it and finish it already

TWICE I can happily say that I had a very fun experience and it was worth the wait

Pecaminosa gives you what they told you were going to have: rich story, Immersive ambient, amazing soundtrack, fun boss battles and some dried humour… which was very welcome. Being able to play as an old detective trying to fix his past mistakes while living in a hopeless city where drugs, sex, violence happens from day to night. Managing to find a little bit of hope just for it to be taken away from you… and still moving on was quite interesting. This game truly shows

Rot Gut

6.2/10 - 1920’s Mafia Pixel Platformer with Elements of Noir

I had fun with this game, but I got it for free prior to the finalization of the game I assume since the release now says July 16. I received the game from an unknown friend*, they made a point to say they weren’t affiliated with the developer but I have my suspicions, especially since I played it over a month ago… Regardless, it was fun!

The game is a pretty simple Pixel/Platformer shooter. You must traverse 7 stages using only a few guns of choice; certain guns are more effective against different enemies so don’t get too attached to a single weapon. You will be taking down the mafia in this short but sweet game; it took me about 35 minutes to complete it. So at $2, be aware of the game’s length, but if you like platformers I think you’ll dig this.

  • The game is balanced in difficulty almost perfectly (for me at least). Others may find this game too easy I found it just challenging enough.

  • This is Top 5 in terms of action platformers I’ve played on Steam so far. Just so you know where I’m coming from some other great ones are DuckTales Remastered, Metal Slug (Series), Mutant Mudds Deluxe, & Tiny Barbarian DX.

  • Rot Gut could’ve used controller support.

Bottom line this game is worth the time it takes to play and the price being asked.

Very short, but still does the job

The Slaughter: Magdalene is super short and definitely won’t scratch the itch for those still waiting for the second installment of The Slaughter. But still, it’s a compelling burst of a game. The dialogue is interesting and thoughtful and as per usual Alex does a great job with the soundtrack. Give it a chance.

Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now

Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now

Nice little shooter, with surprisingly detailed world, Sin City inspired cutscenes and funny dialoque

Having just finished the main story on Nasty-difficulty, the highest you can get on the first playthrough i think i’ve seen most of this game. Maniac difficulty next, you will unlock it after finishing the game.

Top-down shooter, plays like you’d think it shuold. Only thing that bothered me in this was how the screen went black and white when my health was down. It made enemies sometimes hard to see, and my cursor was lost there as well because there’s a lot happening at times on the levels. Other than that, it was a cool effect. Few deaths because of the unclear screen, but nothing too annoying.

Real player with 11.7 hrs in game

With an assortment of top-down shooters to choose from, Splatter is a gem.

With the exception of one level segment and (to my knowledge) a bug only I’ve encountered thus far regarding the final boss, there aren’t many flaws to be found in the game beyond those that are minor (occasional spelling errors in the dialogue and item texts being the only thing that stands out readily and even then they aren’t hindering enjoyment of the game overall).

Dreamworlds has managed to nail exactly what makes this particular type of game fun to play vs. turning it into an interminably difficult chore. The dialogue and art-based cutscenes don’t drag on longer than they need to, leaving plenty of time to enjoy soaking multiple parts of a level’s floor with the blood of enemies.

Chinatown Detective Agency: Day One

Chinatown Detective Agency: Day One

‘‘There simply must be a corpse in a detective novel, and the deader the corpse the better.’’ - S.S. Van Dine

Chinatown, Singapore in the year 2032 - Amira Darma is the female protagonist operating her first day as a Private Investigator in a dystopian cybernoir world where she feels her detective skills can flourish outside of the financially crippled Criminal Investigation Department that she once worked for under the command of Superintendent Justin Koh.

“Chinatown Detective Agency - Day One” is a prologue for the main game due sometime in 2021, and gives a first impression of what to expect.

In short: I found the game to be interesting and it’s definitely got potential - hence my thumbs up. But it still needs some a lot of work.

The low-down

CDA is a retro-styled cyberpunk/noir-themed whodunit which plays much like a classic point-and-click-adventure with some light elements of life-sim and puzzle-games. From what I hear it is strongly inspired by the Carmen Sandiego-franchise with its chasing after clues and travelling to places all over the world.
