Soup Pot
Soup Pot is a cooking game with a focus on creativity. The game aims to capture the open nature of home cooking, allowing experimentation across 100 different dishes. Players will use beautifully stylized 3D renders of ingredients to create these dishes however they like, offering a fun yet challenging experience. Players will even be able to choose their own plating styles, to make sure the dishes look as pretty and delicious as possible.
Soup Pot’s kitchen is a welcoming place, whether you’re a seasoned cook or don’t know which end of the whisk to hold. You’re free to experiment and try new things without having to worry about the pressure of failing.
Key Features
-
Become a master of the kitchen, cooking more than 100 different mouth-watering recipes that incorporate hundreds of potential ingredients. Follow the suggested methods or express your creativity by improvising and experimenting as you see fit.
-
Play with your food! Items shout their names as they’re added to each dish, dough reacts when it’s punched, and other whimsical touches keep the atmosphere light – and it’s all accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack composed of food-themed tunes.
-
Build your audience by cooking well and learning new recipes. Your viewers will give you supportive (or sarcastic) comments, depending on how your food turns out. Like what you’ve made? You can snap pictures of your best efforts.
-
Grill, slice, bake, mix, and more, with dozens of highly interactive steps. You won’t have to do the dishes, however.

SJ-19 Learns To Love!
A very to-the-point Metroidvania.
SJ-19 Learns To Love! doesn’t play around with hidden rooms, power-ups drop directly from bosses and the map features clear cut landmarks.
You’ll know exactly where to return to once you’ve drained the water system for example.
You play as SJ-19, a droid fortunate enough to be selected from storage and immediately instructed to follow in a long line of killing machines. This plays nicely against the simple cute aesthetic presented by the game visuals, as bosses will ask you to reconsider fighting them, whilst the shops (which are characters) gleefully encourage you to get back to killing and pump up your Soul Power to increase your firepower. Every boss comes with an ability to be gained and a lesson to be learned (guess what the final one is?) as SJ-19 malfunctions and journeys through the recess of it’s…programming?

After trying two metroidvanias that turned out to be terrible (Frauki’s adventure and catmaze) I had low expectations for SJ-19. However, this turned out to be actually good. It’s got a good story, and good gameplay at the expense of content, graphics, and sound effects. The only downside is that the game is a bit overpriced and it has to be bought on sale.

Bistro Days
STORY
You are an aspiring food blogger in the city of Wisteria. One day, a giant raccoon guides you to Bellflower Bistro, where you meet three charming characters that will prove to be your life’s turning point.
What fate awaits you at the bistro? Will you answer to your true calling and become a food blogger that will make your mom proud? Are you able to help your romantic partner achieve their dreams? What choices will you make? Who will you date?
Bistro Days is an over-the-top Slice of Life romantic story where every choice matters, with multiple endings that lead you to a different romantic path.
The Characters
Rose is the manager of the bistro, having worked in similar establishments since she was in high school. Now with years of experience under her belt, she is an expert in all things food industry and has the confidence and leadership skills to boot.
Although friendly, she tends to hold everyone to a high standard. She sometimes comes into conflict with those who disagree with her, but she always forgives and moves on.
Lily only started working at the bistro a few months ago. She joined at a weird time, when the management and work conditions were beginning to reach an all-time low. Having been in the hospitality business for a long time, she tried her best to resolve the issues in the bistro on her own – but ultimately, she leaned on Rose for help when things got out of hand.
Iris is a new hire, joining shortly after Lily. Rose hired her because of her outgoing personality and how skilled Iris is at everything, especially latte art and drawing daily menu boards. As a general team member at the bistro, she balances the front-of-the-house tasks, as well as the social media page and signboards.

Manufactoria 2022
This is one of the best games in the zachlike genre that I’ve played. It beats every non-Zachtronics zachlike I can think of, and beats a bunch of Zachtronics games as well. The computational model in this game is just so rich despite its simplicity, that even 70 hours in, I can still discover new patterns that help me optimise a level or two.
The original Manufactoria introduced me to this genre way back when, and this is a fantastic remake that improves on the original in every aspect. It took me a little over 70 hours to beat every level and get every medal in the game, and I could put in countless more to push my scores to their limits.

If you like engineering/puzzle games, definitely try this out. A small number of simple mechanics combine powerfully enough to let you do very complex things. Plus, compare scores with global leaderboards and your friends.
If you remember Manufactoria from 2010, this is the same idea but more polished and with more puzzles.

Misery Street
I’m still not very far into the game, but it’s pretty good.
It runs insanely poorly for how graphically simple it is. I have no idea how a game this simple can run that bad unless it’s doing crypto mining or something.
The PLC-as-currency thing is a little bit “Hey guys, can you tell that I played Lisa?” The EP Snails (is that what they are?) are at least slightly altered while clearly being an Earthbound reference.
The “maybe I should get a job” dialogue with the Hobo Grey kind of irks me. Even if it wasn’t a cliche joke that makes no sense in the setting (he’s in a tiny farming village plagued with both a serial killer and a continuous undead infestation in the fields), it would still be a crass misrepresentation of homelessness fit for the scribblings of an elementary schooler.

Class of ‘09
I had great fun with this game. voice acting was amazing. I felt bad for all the men who had to voice the pedophile teachers. It was dark with out feeling like someone was punching/looking down on others. Its a tight rope to walk but it does so wonderfully, some errors here and there but other wise I enjoyed my 8 hours. I know the dramatic edginess of it would put some people off which I understand. Some shit not for everyone, but this game does not take itself serious in the least. We have DDLC, Hunie Pop, various games taking different angels and pot shot at the VN/Dating sims genre. Sometimes you need shit that just different.

I thought this was going to be light like a bag filled with 628 pissing calvin stickers but then got sauce with a Papa John’s Piledriver when i made the wrong choice for the character.
SBN3 has been doing voice acting, writing, and other nerd magazine stuff on youtube for quite a bit. From batman beyond ill, to taste closed, to even the feature length movie dubbed over called Operation Backpackers and another one called Taste Closed Heaven aint hard to find. As soon as i heard this project dropped on steam i had to buy it.

Die With Glory — Point and Click Adventure Game
Give me glorious death or give me beer.
There are always games and shows where a character searches for that perfect enemy to defeat. Trying to stay alive enough to do their mission. This is a different situation for Die With Glory. You play as Sigurd, an old Viking warrior, looking for a battle that will give him a glorious death and a ticket to Valhalla. It also helps your love is a valkyrie willing to bring you back when Valhalla rejects you.
Interestingly this is set up as storytime, each section of Hack and Slash Tavern is a new area you can play. As Sigurd remembers the event, you decide what happens to others before going in. Each area has it’s own puzzles and tasks you have to do. This is honestly easy as wandering through the level, but some are more difficult to get through. By the end of the level you would be weapon ready for your opponent.

## Paper Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date? 2
**King Alexander XI is dead, and without heir.**
Your parents want you to be that heir. Luckily for you, there's totally an ancient tradition for electing a new ruler in times like these: simply lock eight children of royal blood (or the closest thing) in Castle Elsinore, complete with the ghosts of past rulers, and let them manipulate the living heck out of each other and the local population! Two shall rise above the rest: King and Queen (or Queen/Queen, King/King, King/Nobody, Queen/Nobody)! Everyone else that is still alive gets to go home! It's a win-win for everyone (except those that died)!
#### Features
* Interact with eight different potential royal candidates! Sabotage or help them!
* Decide what skills you want to learn as a potential ruler!
* Part strategy, part dating sim, all royal bloodbath! This is more a dating sim than an election sim, though.
* A variety of paths to go down, depending on what you do in the game! Who do you romance? Who do you backstab? Who do you romance and then backstab?
* Invading armies? Political debates? It's all in here!
* Direct continuation of the story started in Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date?, but completely separate from Furry Shakespeare and Dinosaur Shakespeare! Telling you why would be **spoilers**. Also, just a perfectly good stand-alone story!
