Finishing Fleshport took me about 9 hours, but I’m very slow and check every detail twice. This game had me hooked from beginning to end. Even with the small RPG Maker window size, I had the feeling that I was traversing through some supernatural landscape with its own people and customs. The characters are both unsettling and charming.
The design in some parts of the game are confusing, with doors that are hard to notice and details that are easy to miss. There was one puzzle in particular I could only figure out after interacting with every object and smooshing my face against every wall. There are also some bugs, especially with the chase mechanics, but nothing game-breaking. I fully recommend this weird, weird game.

Hands of time will wring my neck
Every little moment spells regret
But I don’t have to feel this way

I got this game as an impulse buy at 2 am while talking to my friend on discord and man I don’t regret it. After multiple months and around 135 hours, I have gotten every achievement and I loved playing every second of this game. For an RPG maker based game it has such impeccable charm, the characters were lovable, and the story was great. I really did go into this game blind and that’s what I recommend everyone do. The story had a bit a bit of a slow start, but it was such an experience to see it unfold at the end and watch all the pieces of the puzzle come together. If you are thinking of buying this, do, you will not regret it.

Project Kat - Paper Lily Prologue
A pretty interesting, cute and short horror game. The graphics were really nice for pixel art and I loved the character design. The music and sounds were nice as well. The story is also well done, especially for such a short game. I loved the premise and I really enjoyed the multiple endings. I do wish that there was some kind of maybe a gallery or an ending list in-game. It would be nice to see if I had grabbed all the endings or if I ended up missing any. I did like seeing that certain choices did change a few things in-game (such as the blackboard in the theater room). I didn’t have any real issues while playing the game, beyond my own stupidness. For a prologue, I don’t expect there to be much in the game, and I definitely don’t expect a long game. For 3 hours, I was able to look around and beat the game a few times.

Very nice horror game. There aren’t things that jump right at you like a jumpscare but the things that appear from time to time is just enough to send my spine tingling. They played around with the audio as well to give the extra suspense. Puzzles weren’t that hard but I’m guessing these will in difficulty in the full game. With all that said, I can’t wait for the full game!
tl;dr
• scary with no jumpscare
• easy puzzles
• can’t wait for the full game :D

Uncanny Valley
This is a fairly interesting one, as a horror game I think it has some genuine chills. Good concept with a bit of a shaky execution, but still more than worth your time for the price.
The initial recommendation for multiple playthroughs has some merit, in some ways it’s worth replaying to see how you can impact the story through your actions, which can sometimes be very silly, unprompted actions, like bashing your coworker’s head in on the first day or stealing his car keys and skipping town ASAP. It reminds me of an old PS2 game called Raw Danger, where you had mostly normal decisions, but occasionally got a really out of nowhere prompt, like stomp on a fellow survivor’s fingers to make him fall to his death for no good reason other than it’s silly to see your character be cartoonishly evil.

I picked Uncanny Valley because it seemed like an overlooked but interesting little horror game with puzzles. The mixed ratings were a bit of a red flag for me but I decided to give it a chance and try myself. Lo and behold the actual game was completely different than I thought and in a really frustrating way.
Our pixelated protagonist is Tom, a newly hired security guard who starts doings night shifts at a remote and enigmatic facility. But Tom also expriences terrible nightmares which are somehow related to his past. The game has two distinct parts where in the first half you’ll manage your job and try to survive your dreams of shadowy monsters chasing after you; and the second half which is the ultimate test of survival that will lead to an appropriate ending. Uncanny Valley is the type of game you’ll need to play many times to see everything. Different actions lead to different consequences and will affect the outcome. Only this way you will get to clear the fog surrounding the mysterious story.

DISTRAINT: Deluxe Edition
Distraint is psychological horror adventure game with very powerful moments of sadness and terror. I can say with confidence that this is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time.
If this review is too long for you, I suggest you to only read the first paragraph about the game’s content and the final verdict at the end.
What is happening in the game:
You play as a property-seizer called Price who is (to some degree) forced to seize people’s houses in order to get a job. The game makes you to go to three different people, to which you have to explain that they’re gonna have to leave the property. You have to help some of them in order to gain their cooperation. But even if they’re willing to cooperate, Price’s consciousness tells him that something is wrong with what he’s doing. His mind soon becomes divided between getting the job and doing the right thing. That’s when the crazy stuff begin to happen. Blood from everywhere, illusions, you name it. It’s a perfect psychological horror.

First off, I wanna say, props to Jesse for putting this together in 3 months. It’s obvious a lot of work went into the game, and it’s awesome that he was able to get it completed.
This game is, artistically, beautiful. I absolutely HATE retro graphic, 2D side scrollers, but this one really changed my mind. The music and sound effects were amazing, the characters were well drawn and had neat swaying motions. The game looks nice.
But it does not play nice. No, no. This game is slow and a snooze-fest. The ‘puzzles’ aren’t puzzles. You walk from point A to point B to point C, back to point B, and then maybe over to point D. There isn’t really a whole lot of logic involved in these puzzles. The hitboxes for selection can also be wonky at times, so you can easily skip over certain action items. Act 3, I had to actually use a guide, since there is no map/point of reference to where you’ve been. You just wander aimlessly and go down a memory checklist, hoping you are going in the correct direction.

Well, it’s 2019 as of right now, folks, so I’m sure you’ve heard of “metahorror”. This game is the founding father of that genre. Without IMSCARED, you wouldn’t have your Space Blaster (Lines), A Dark Place or Mono.exe. AppSir and Team Salvato would be off the map in the metahorror genre. What else? This game set the formula. It did it so well that it sort of created a “formula” of sorts that I see most games of the same genre follow. I have yet to find another game with the same charm as it has. It’s such a simplistically made game, and it’s an absolute masterpiece. I don’t want to spoil too much, but take my word, if you can feel fear, this game will damn well make you afraid of your own computer.

Midnight Scenes: The Highway (Special Edition)
This game is rather a short game, which is fitting for the price. The games horror elements are rather mild when compared to other horror games I’ve seen which is good if this is your first time or if you’re just getting used to playing horror games.
This game is also good to play for cheap in a short amount of time.
Also, if you are not used to playing point & click games, keep in mind while playing to be very observant of clickables and drag items in your inventory over each other to combine them.

The game is put together really well when it comes to art and atmosphere, that being said, it’s $3 for a 15-minute inconclusive story, so it’s more of a donation than anything else. I had a little ‘deja vu’ playing it, the pixel art in the game is really good, and there are only so many people that are that good, turns out it’s the “artist on games like Thimbleweed Park and Photographs” - I thought the godly skills looked familiar. The ‘Special Edition’ comes with the artbook and soundtrack which is located in the game’s folder. I have to say that the ending didn’t impact me in any way, probably because the story just didn’t have enough time and build up. I wish the developer would have expanded upon the original game, maybe a few secrets or an alternate ending if the game was replayed. Obviously, the developer is very skilled in multiple ways, but as far as this little game goes, not a lot for me to evaluate beyond seeing that it had the potential to be an interesting story.
