Oraxum Trials
Exiled as an outcast, the alchemist lived a life that many would pity. The alchemist became a revered name whispered across the streets, often being sought out to conduct dangerous and bewildering experiments. Forever being hunted by the Katedral Academy, the alchemist wished to test the limits of sorcery and forge their own path.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oraxum Trials is an incremental puzzle game where you conduct complex experiments with the Oraxum, a hexagon-shaped board with magical properties. Master using the Oraxum — the alchemist’s greatest tool — and harness the power of mystical crystals, sigils and more.
Complex Puzzles - Every puzzle has multiple solutions, but you are given the freedom to create your own. Fill up your Oraxum for mana generation, utilizing both energy and corruption to your advantage. Conductors, reservoirs and other tiles can be used to create a solution.
Narrative Cutscenes - Grow your skills as an alchemist and discover the world with narrative
cutscenes. Make lasting friendships, face perilous enemies and uncover hidden secrets
throughout your journey.
Prestige and Upgrade - After performing enough experiments, take your gameplay to the next level by prestiging. Gain access to talent upgrades and acclimation points, all of which will have a permanent effect on your story and gameplay.
Decide Your Legacy - You control your own fate. Will you embrace the dark or light magical arts? Or perhaps you would rather maintain the perfect balance? A true alchemist knows their craft, and only you have the power to decide your legacy.

Alicia Quatermain: Secrets Of The Lost Treasures
like many other time management games of its kind, this is what one might call a “grinder”. to make any headway, one needs to keep grinding away at the levels to try getting the best results.
also like many others like it, it’s a pretty simple game. nothing fancy, nothing exciting. the story is fairly simple as well. not dark, nothing scary and pretty routine in the way it’s set up.
the draw has more to do with nostalgia than anything. unless you’re a youngster, you likely have heard of the serial movies (based on novels from 1885) about the great Alan Quatermain. (misspelled in the game actually… it should be two Ls. but that’s just nitpicking on my part.)

Chronicles of Vinland
do not buy this game. you get 6 production buildings each can have there production speed and there storage upgraded.
a wall and one tower each with one upgrade path. and your main hut with two upgarde paths.
all you do is click on the buildings to colect material and upgrade the buildings. the natives will attack and there strength is tied directly to your chiefs hut. the outside world is a map with 5 tee pees on it you cilck on the teepees to get quests from them like upgrade this building or defeat this many attacks against you or give these resources. after a bit you just log out and wait a while then log back in and colect your resources do your upgrades then log back out. supper fun

Most of the negative reviews are from the early access, so I’m not sure how the game used to be before the latest update. I’m enjoying it so much, in fact the game is pretty addicting!
The story based on the history of Vinland (North American lands) when vikings arrived there to explore it. You’ll have your settlement among the native Americans and try to earn their trust as well as friendship and eventually forming an alliance. To achieve that they’ll ask you to do some tasks like upgrading your buildings and workshops, or give them a certain amount of resources. Some of the angry and unfriendly natives will attack you, so you need to improve your village’s fence (Palisade) which I forgot to upgrade at first and focused only on the watch tower - Of course I lost a couple of encounters against the natives because of that and they stole tons of my resources.

Demon Cycle
This is one of the few gems that comes out each year. I came in to it with no expectations and ended up spending my next 6+ hours killing demons. I enjoyed every minute. Get this game.

It’s true, I like anime……………………. tho my story didn’t start like any other I was plopped into existence not knowing my purpose? what was I made for? who was my inventor and what did they design me for? questions but no one to answer them. a deafening murmur which only felt like static keeping my question company. the silence was only but a cold and bitter reminder that one day, ill become a flying anime pillow who sores throughout the starts delivering steaming cold cocoa. …………………….its true this game is pretty cool you should buy it :)

Don´t Spill
The game needs a lot of improvemments on the UI and polishing in general, but it’s on EA so that’s understandable. The game idea it’s really nice, a mashup between mages and cooking. Has a lot of potential, so I’m leaving a positive review!

Very different and the idea is good. It lacks a little bit of polish, but in general it’s pretty cool.

Gnomes Garden
If you like time management games then you might give this one a try. There isn’t much of a story really your just restoring the king’s garden. Nothing fancy, really it’s just remembering which buildings to upgrade and which not and in what order.
I got the game in a bundle so I didn’t pay much for it. I probably would not reset and play all the way through again, at least not anytime soon but overall it was quite fun. I especially enjoyed the achievements which gave me something to work for. Aim high.. go for three stars before moving on to the next level!

Enjoyable time management game with some annoying technical issues.
Good level design with lots of renewable resources, so the strategy is mainly in figuring out when to build and upgrade production centers. Hard to get completely stuck, but sometimes challenging to get three stars. I missed getting three stars on about a third of the levels the first time around, and liked the game enough to want to go back and replay them.
Major downsides:
The sides are cut off in fullscreen mode on a 4:3 monitor, occasionally cutting off things you need to click on. It mostly works in windowed mode, but the resources needed tooltips are sometimes cut off, so you have to guess what you need, and the window’s too small to play comfortably. (Or maybe I just need new glasses.)

Hippoboar Rancher ~かばいの牧場物語~
Super cute farming simulator game with a little bit of magic sprinkled in~! It’s not super complicated- you build buildings, raise animals, grow crops, talk to towns folk, maybe complete a quest or two every now and then. Still, the game manages to be very fun, with a hilarious and lovable cast of characters~! I especially like some of the subtle callbacks to other OTUSUN Club games thrown into the script~ I’ve only been playing a couple of hours but I’m excited to see what else the game has in store for me~! ^_^

Kingdom Tales
edit: After a 2nd play through years later, this game isn’t that bad for what it is. Because there really isn’t a story and it isn’t that long (3-4 hours maybe), Kingdom Tales feels like it best suited for a phone or tablet game. It’s definitely aimed at younger players new to resource/time management style games as it does a lot of hand holding. For what it is, it’s a good time waster as there is some challenge to it, but I wouldn’t pay more than a couple of bucks for it. Still can’t recommend it though because it feels like a mobile game put on the desktop.

I got this game as part of a bundle, so i can’t complain too much as it’s hardly left me out of pocket, however i feel sorry for anyone who has paid full price for this game.
I’ll confess it’s not 100% garbage, i mean, i played the whole game through each level for about 5 hours, across a few days, but i spent the whole time just waiting for something more, but constantly feeling restrained as if there was very little choices to make and it was a very clear path to follow.
From the video preview i would say i enjoy games like this, i like the sort of management you get in games like this, and there was a slight notion it would be quite childish, however i held out in the hope that the game play would be a good way to satisfy my strategy cravings.

A fun module in the logistical game world and a couple of really cool easter egg puzzles.
Otherwise pretty straight forward for a newer player. 9/10

Meridian: Age of Invention
Tags: Clicker - Cooldown
Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library
TLDR: 12 Labors type. Redundant. Prefer flavor and themes from competition.
This is a priority clicking game in which you have a HQ and little workers run along pre-drawn pathways to clear obstacles and get ressources. This game’s mechanics are centered around having to micromanage the economy between the multiple buildings built on your hotspots by queuing courriers so they can move ressources to and from mines, and move letters and packages between houses. So, it is a less streamlined, clunkier version of what is usually done in this genre which is not a selling point. Additionally, there is a clash between some of the tile arts that have more of a hand drawn flavor as opposed to the 3D character models of your workers. All things considered this was not a very recommendable example of this genre and would recommend Weather Lords over it.

Short version: 76%
Meridian is a super casual, lightweight time management game with next to no challenge whatsoever. But with such a cute art style and fast-paced levels, it really doesn’t matter as the game is incredibly fun!
Long version:
Time management titles are usually classified as casual games, but Meridian: Age of Invention takes that to a whole new level with how easy it is. Which is a bit strange, considering that it has a remarkable pace for its genre, but this combination of speed and the lack of challenge create a really enjoyable combination.
