After completing the game 100%, I’d like to give a review that will hopefully be beneficial to both the game devs and the potential buyers. First and foremost, I give the game a 6/10 and here’s why.
1. The game is lacking. While some of the later sections of some decent puzzle mechanics, most of the game doesn’t have much in the way of puzzles. The platforming has some potential, but lacks the polish to make it a notable indie game. As of now, I barely see a reason as to why it is considered action.

Great platform game. It took me a while to get used to the controls, but then I got the hang of it. I recommend.

Duru – About Mole Rats and Depression
Tuli leads a simple life in the mole rat colony: she collects food, meets with her friends and paints the best pictures in the colony. All the while nobody but her sees the dark creature that makes each of those activities a near unbeatable task.
Duru is a 2D puzzle adventure about mole rats and depression. It shows how we all can help people affected by this illness.
Set in a West-African inspired mole rat colony you play Tuli, one of the gatherers of the colony. One day everything becomes harder as Bel, an AI companion and the personification of Tuli’s growing depression, joins the party.
While running, jumping and painting your way through the tunnels surrounding the colony you have to find a way to deal with Bel and its manipulative behaviour. Your constant companion moves objects you painted around, eats them and holds you back in which ever way possible. Learn to use Bels behaviour in a way that lets you progress.
In the mole rat colony that Tuli calls her home her friends notice that she’s acting strange. She’s less talkative, is always late and seems not interested at all in hanging out with them. Some of them get tired of her tardiness…
You can always see how Bel twists Tuli’s thoughts, how it makes her not feel worth being friends with. Through exploring the mole rat colony and interaction with the other characters you can find out which behaviours are helpful to Tuli and which just make Bel grow.
Follow the story of Tuli – a story about the struggle with insecurities, depression and friendship, told in a colorful, accessible way.
What awaits you:
-
a puzzle adventure in a colorful, West African-inspired setting
-
a story about depression told through animation and picture dialog to enjoy regardless of language
-
an AI companion that works with and against you
-
drawing objects to puzzle your way through a lovingly designed world
-
cute characters of the mole rat colony to befriend and uncover their individual stories

Clocker
Great puzzle design.
Great character design.
Great background sound.
The story are really smooth and catches people’s hearts immediately but meanwhile it is pretty sad atmosphere around.
Most puzzles need a lot of work to solve but not too hard so people get stuck for ever.

Don’t pay full price for such a short game.
Ending was predictable and very unsatisfying without an alternative.
Doesn’t save properly and hint system is tedious.
Overall very disappointing compared to the unique gameplay concept.

Mechinus
Embark on a clockwork puzzle-platforming adventure set in a mechanical ecosystem as Cognito, a curious creature whose duty to maintain the lifecycle of this captivating world leads him on a journey to heart of the machine in order to save it.
In this metallic jungle - where life is mechanical, rather than biological in nature - evolution has given rise to a beautifully orchestrated set of behaviours, which underpin the tactile clockwork puzzles and dynamic platforming of the game.
In My Shadow
Don’t buy the game because you want to support and Indian game developer. Buy the game because it’s good.
Definitely fun. The hook of the game is with the shadows, and they are done very well. There are some inconsistencies with the lighting on the lips and cheeks in cutscenes. There are also some inconsistencies with the shadows in some levels, but it’s not gamebreaking. I am sure the developers will fix that. Beautiful calming music.
I like the paper-like style of the Settings menu, and the nice little detail of the settings being written on the small notepad during the game’s intro. It would actually be better UX to pull up the same notepad, when we open the Settings menu. Turns out that we can select the notepad to open the settings as well. It is not obvious at first glance. Only after moving using the controller down key, I realized that we can select the CellPhone, Laptop, Notepad. Having the word “Options” and also the notepad makes one of the two redundant. It might just be better to have either all text based or object based menu items.

I found In My Shadow an enjoyable game which stretched my old brain and reflexes. Be warned that this is a precision platform game with little room for error. Some difficult parts took me over 20 times to get right as you can see by my time!
The story is a young woman reminiscing about her childhood and reconciling with her past. There are cut scenes which dramatise the story in between levels. It is interesting that we do tend to remember the bad things from the past rather than all the good things and that is pertinent to this story. However, I did find that I didn’t empathise with the girl at all. The story was rather lacklustre and disappointing.

Arise: A Simple Story
Super Mario 3D World, if everything weren’t cats, they removed the Wii U gamepad, and wasn’t Super Mario 3D world
Random title cause I felt like it. I’m not sure on whether to give a ‘recommended’ or ‘not recommended’ for this game, cause it’s a 50/50 split between aspects of this game that I liked, and the ones that infuriated me.
Pros:
-
The Level Designs are amazing. Most games with a persistent time-switching mechanic only have 2 versions of the same map that show the past and the future, and pressing a button transports you to one or the other, but this game lets you slowly see the polygons shift whilst giving you the feeling of manually seeking and rewinding time like it’s a tape recorder. While most puzzles require you to only go back and forth between 2 points in time and freeze it, some puzzles
! (like the rolling boulder or the falling log in level 3) have you constantaneously scrub time and walk at the same time.

Arise: A Simple Story
Arise is a simple yet clever puzzle-platformer that pushes the puzzle-platformer genre in the right direction. Arise is a soulful, relaxing game that revolves around a man’s journey of reliving his bittersweet memories with his partner.
It’s sweet, it’s simple and it’s truly emotionally driven. And combined with its beautiful world and enjoyable gameplay, we have an all-rounder on our hands.

## Aurora: A Child's Journey
Aurora: A Child's Journey is well done. There are a few areas where the game tried to glitch and the controls can be sometimes clunky, but besides that, it was simple and straight to the point. It was nice to play from the perspective of a young child and also an interesting concept of how they see things that are well…not pretty in this world. It can be sad to learn that the game was inspired by true events but also eye-opening to situations that many may not know. The achievements are easily earned as you play through the game and not as complex as the game is very short. Take a chance if you want to see the world in the young girl's eyes and maybe you will learn something along the way.
