Awesome simulator of near after death experience, it gave me goosebumps while I was playing it

Koma is a confusing, both in a bad and a good way.
First the game seems to have some optimisation issues. Even on my Ryzen 9 XT and Nvidia 2800 Super, I had some lags and micro freezes, usually when loading a new area.
Also, sometimes I felt some issues regarding of the usual rules of game design in the way to indicate you the path. Combined with the fact that you can glitch the camera trough the walls, and sometimes yourself, it result in situations where you don’t know exactly what you’re supposed to do or where to go. I completly understant the goal to make you feel lost in this strange world and I like that, but sometimes I just felt lost because of confusing game design. It reminded me it was a game and kinda breaked the illusion.

Death in the Family
I wanted to like this game it had a great atmosphere and the jump-scares were good. I liked this game until I got to when the hallway turns all red and the stuffed animals are on the ceiling. I was forced to walk to the end of the hallway where someone is waiting and when I got there the person killed me I think but the screen just goes black and stabbing sounds can be heard then nothing. No ending, no credits, just blackness with the white dot in the middle of the screen. I am not the only person who had this happen too and I played it two times in the video below just to confirm. Also, some events are time base so I had events stacking on top of each other in my first play-through. I can not recommend this game at $4 when it feels unfinished. I waited one day to see if a patch was going to come out to add an ending but nothing. This game is only about 40 minutes long. If you want to play this just know it is short but has some good jump scares but I think your $4 can be spent on another game. If this game had an ending and was cheaper than I would give it a higher score and a recommend.

Unfortunately, I’m having to leave a bad review. The game has so much potential, with lots of jump scares, but once you get to the man at the end of the hall, it glitches and the screen goes black. Being a full time streamer, my community was very disappointed to say the least. For that reason i can’t leave a good review.

Confusing, bewildering, nonsensical and not particularly scary. Save your money.

Pretty good game. It was for sure weird but was interesting and gave some good scares. I only wish it gave more direction on what to do cause if you are stuck on something there are no hints or anything to help you out. Overall for the price I would say it’s worth checking out. If you want to see some game play you can watch my play through below.

The Shape On The Ground (Steam Edition)
As someone who’s done a fair bit of work with tarot in real life, I can see that the creators have a good grasp of the right sorts of prompts and questions to work with in divination. The environments and visual design are very nicely done too, and it’s clear that a lot of care went into them. They do an excellent job of building atmosphere and putting one in the right headspace. Overall, a very interesting experience, and well worth your time.

An interesting idea overall. Answering the question, walking around the map is pretty much everything, but that uncomfortably feeling that you are constantly being watched while answering what you see in this dark and strange imagery really has a great take on immersing player into this horror experience. Take a look at this title as an artistic horror experience, not a game. It’s short, and I’m definitely getting back to this title again in the future. In my opinion, a quite nice title to have in your collection, as an artistic psychological piece.

qrth-phyl
qrth-phyl falls in the class of games like Lumines or Space Invaders Extreme that offer simple, familiar mechanics, carefully tuned and immaculately presented. It’s a love letter to snake-like arcade games, with easter-egg tributes to the genre’s innovators. You alternate between snaking around the outside of rectangles or rectangular prisms and free-movement 3D snaking inside those prisms. The idea of 3D snake worried me initially, seeming like a potential camera disaster, but the implementation is rock solid and I haven’t had a death that didn’t feel like my fault. Playing well increases “corruption,” which increases the difficulty of the proc-gen levels but offers more dots and a higher chance of encountering the treasured blue dots, which turn your tail into dots for you to consume like Pac-Man CE:DX’s satisfying ghost trains. The dynamic difficulty system persists between runs, and it feels like one of the best such systems I’ve encountered, quickly dialing in a consistently engaging level of challenge.

I absolutely love this game. The aesthetics are working great for the retro-arcade style. The controls are responsive and the game is challenging. Also the hidden sequence adds yet another dimension to the game (pun not intended).
I got this game years ago on IndieGameStand. That store doesn’t operate anymore and I had the only .exe file I managed to download before they went out of business. And here we are, qrth-phyl finally safely in my steam library.
I’m looking forward for future updates. Maybe VR support could be nice?

Midnight Bike
Well speaking as the top placed player in the game (#1 on Leaderboards) It’s a great game that requires an influx of mental strength and agility. Skin blistering speeds will make you double up on chapstick before you know it. Honda Civics and other bean cars alike fly by as you coast at a smooth 140 down I-4 as the wolves howl.
I dare you to take my seat on my throne.
10/10

great game, i played for like 4 minutes n was 9th on the ldrboard so its kinda easy! i suggest adding multiplayer? maybe something like a race but obv the winner is the one that stays on the longest, and being able to customise your bike. add difficulty too maybe. do keep the original as a gamemode if u do change smth bc its really relaxing and fun!
overall amazing game

while i liked some ideas in some sculptures this game as a whole feels rushed and not well thought.

Space Hole 2018
I’ve only played about 3 hours now, and I can tell I’m nowhere near completing this game. Space Hole 2018 is visually stunning. It plays a lot like the Super Monkey Ball series, but is a lot less annoying in every respect. Minor game mechanics make the game much more enjoyable, plus you gain these new mechanics throughout the game which gives a sense of achievement and growth. The soundtrack is great too. Overall, this is an awesome, relaxing, psychedellic game that is definitely worth the listed $3.

This seems to be what Sam Atlas was aiming for all along. This newest Space Hole has a lot more of the Antichamber vibe and is overall a great improvement on 2016. Here’s why.
Pros
-
Visually a lot more interesting now. Full on psychedelia, the inner workings of a mass hadron collider, giant chess sets, hypercubes, Saturday Night Fever disco floors the lot.
-
More varied levels this time. Not just a get from point A to point B anymore. You sometimes need to exit your ball and fly around to scope out the large levels to see where you are supposed to be heading and work out a strategy.
