Driftpunk Racer
Notice how the trailer is barely 20 seconds long, and of that you see a few seconds of a car “drifting” on the track?
Don’t be fooled, this game is no better than the free mobile car games you can download on your phone, and probably plays worse.
I sacrificed an hour of my time to get all the achievements, but bear in mind this game has “Profile Features Limited”, so these won’t count against your epeen tally on steam anyway.
The price is a joke, fortunately I got this in a bundle.

The game was very confusing for me when I first jumped in. But after a while I figured how it works and I feel like sharing the secret.
You start off with 1 or more moving tiles and you need to shove them onto the plates that light up with blue glow. You don’t always have to fill each glowing plate but you need to make sure that all dark-purple ones (usually the tiles that can move) are on the glowing plates.
I like how you unlock new types of movement further down the levels, to keep it fresh and interesting. There’s some nice background music involed as well.

Coffin Mall
i usually think i have pretty low standards for indie 1 dev spooky games but this is easily the most underwhelming one i have played, its essentially a car dodging simulator. atleast the ps1 graphics aesthetic is interesting and seems like its not an asset flip game. also yes you can pet odysseus

I had fun with Coffin Mall, while the game was very short, it gives you an experience similar to that of the final scene in Christine but in a shopping mall with no bulldozer to protect you. I’m sure there’s going to be more content added later, the extras said something about a bonus game coming soon.
The atmosphere is beautiful, from the PS1 style graphics, to the dark synth wave track that plays once the action kicks in, I managed to survive long enough to hear the melody that pays homage to Christine’s theme. Nothing says “pissed off killer car” like a dark synth track. The weather accented everything nicely too, the thunder and lightning sometimes fired off as the car struck the bench I was hiding behind.

Ultreïa: Prologue
WOW! What a wonderful game!! Will definitely recommend it. Did have a lot of problems loading it & was just about to quit trying but on last attempt it finally loaded! (the intro was very glitchy for a few mins & then cleared up). I actually enjoyed it so much that i ended up playing thru several times. I love point & click games especially ones like this game…..just point & go! Personally i have such a hard time using a controller, I mean what’s with all the lingo in settings? I have no idea what I am adjusting….like “shadow” What? Huh? Hate how sensitive they can be when it is a FP game…..like why do i need to use 2 or 3 buttons plus the toggle just to simply walk down a road & then find out that i had been walking in circles YIKES! I’m having a terrible time trying to play Edith Finch….Took me an hr just to get to her old home LOL….Anyhow it looks like i’m regressing, (as i often tend to do) so, back to Ultreia…..again, it’s a great little gem, controls are simple & the whole game flows, great plot & the sweetest robot ever! Cheers & stay safe!!!

I enjoyed this and plan on getting the full game eventually for sure.
The art is beautiful, and I think the dialog and story is interesting.
This is a point and click game, but it is a really nice point and click game.
The puzzles aren’t ridiculously hard in this nor ridiculously easy. They make sense.
Worth your time playing the Prologue at the very least if you have any interest in point and clicks.

Save the ‘Verse from THE CORRUPTION, a program gone rouge. It’s only purpose is now the complete and total deletion of the ‘Verse and all backup data. You’ll discover the origin of the ‘Verse, how the CORRUPTION came to be, and why it’s hellbent on the complete and total destruction of not only itself but all of the ‘Verse.
Golden Light
Holy cow, this game is my aesthetic. I turned off the pixelation; as fun as it is, it’s difficult to deal with the entire time. This game isn’t scary as much as it is a weird B-movie with occasional jump scares. I love the ambiguous storyline; this being a relatively small community it’s got a lot of mystery in the world and gameplay.
It has a lot of personality and the devs continue to do a good job in updating it. It’s a survival rogue-like at heart; you have to make decisions as to how you’ll survive, and there isn’t a lot of room for equipment. Dying can be discouraging, but (at least in easy mode) you can go through the entrance of the biome you died in and pop back into the level you were just at. There’s really not a whole lot to it once you understand what’s going on. It’s just a fun, addictive game.

Paradox Vector
The most exciting and admirable aspect of Paradox Vector is unquestionably the art design, which is not only unique, but a true joy to look at. All the colors and shapes build up a very stylized, but beautiful environment which is exciting to explore to the last detail.
Apart from that, many other aspects of the game may or may not cause… 𝘮𝘪𝘹𝘦𝘥 feelings in certain players - depending on their gaming taste or temperament - like the enemy AI, the layout of the levels, the sometimes unbalanced difficulty, the sharp contrast between the first and second half of the game, etc. But even with the hit and miss parts, I think Paradox Vector is still worth to play. Recalls many great and interesting aspects of old (FPS) games combining with a truly unique aesthetic.

I’m not too far into Paradox Vector but I’m very much enjoying the old school vibe of the game. Think 80s Tron combined with a prison-labyrinth setting. The game has proved quite challenging due to HP restores being limited, however the dev has noted this and adding some extra nodes to make the game a bit less daunting at the start. (Even though I died a lot, I actually enjoyed how punishing it felt, reminded me of the good old days)
There’s no real soundtrack to the game from what I’ve encountered, but the creepy ambience adds to the atmosphere. It actually surprised me with how many jump scares it’s given me. Prepare for plenty of brain-bending areas that will play tricks on your mind as you try to navigate your surroundings.
