Aesoteric Collection
9 Æsoteric games, the result of many experimental worlds brought to conclusion at last.
Each of these belong in a common oniric universe, where you’re confronted with a diverse array of A.R.G. consoles, each having a uniquely different game in its system but sharing a common dark origin.
The Æsoteric Collection
EGREGORE / ZYX
tmOD / Vlast
Oneiroi / tmPaint
Apex Byte Reeling / Wrecc
Noahs Ark Demake
The experiences contained within this collection are calling. It is a mystery if they even grew to exist as a published format, cursed as they are, belonging somewhere between the discarded and the dreamt. Some originally forgotten demos, others accidents of evil destiny and spiteful development, even the consoles in which they belong are not a thing of public knowledge…
Until now.

Silent dream
So the plot seems interesting but the translation is giving me a hard time to understand what’s going on exactly because it get a bit confusing at some points. Also usually in horror games when you want to hide inside the closet, it let you hide till the monster/ creature or whatever is following you go away but in this game, hiding in the close is pretty useless, so don’t bother doing it because it’s a big fat fail. Also, it seems you have to do stuff in a certain order (which you’ll have to figure out on your own), or else you’ll get stuck and die till you do the part correctly.

What a wonderful Christian game for children because it promotes values such as love, friendship and compassion. The nice little angel flying around truly warms my heart!
Will update this review once I’m done hiding in my closet.
Edit: No, I’m not done hiding in my closet.

Halloween Decoration Sandbox
Experienced on the Oculus Quest 2
You can view my initial impressions review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/HtzBA8PkgB8
While this app certainly has a certain charm as you can build your own Halloween map and then visit it in VR, it’s a bit too unpolished for me to recommend. I won’t refund it and I hope the developer can improve the end user experience, but it feels more like an alpha prototype than a real Halloween Decoration Sandbox experience.
VR support is very basic at the moment. It is KBM only, no motion controller support and only on the Oculus Rift. Even starting VR is more convoluted than it needs to be. You basically have to start the app in non-VR then choose free play mode and then put on your VR headset. As far as the editor (where you actually decorate), it is non-VR only. You can only use VR for your finished product experience.

MOLOCH (Zero)
even the game got no secret ending or ending, achievement, some secret code.
But,i’m still think it got the potential of bringing any future game to justify the meaning of this game.

When I played this game, it was fine other than the fact that I couldn’t find any horror aspect to it….

Fuse
NOTE: This is a review for version 1.0 of FUSE (though I’ve been toying with it since its initial release)
TO POTENTIAL BUYERS:
In truth this product is a mixed bag of nuts. Mixamo is trying to do something truly great here and if they adjust their approach to customer management and marketing with this product they just might build a very powerful indie-focussed tool to quickly build out a cast of characters on a fairly reasonable budget. There is certainly a market for this, and with enough customer buy-in they could become an industry staple in this regard. With that said, the tool isn’t there just yet.

First of all - almost all the negative reviews I see here are wildly misinformed! You should know what you’re getting with this software (unlimited free character models with textures - and 2 free rigs a week) - and it is an ENORMOUS time and money saver for those who need custom character models on a budget.
Let me clear a couple things up:
1. You can ABSOLUTELY export your characters as OBJ files and load them in anywhere
2. If you want to rig/skin your characters for animation you upload them to Mixamo - and get 2 free per week.

The Museum of ThroughView
There isn’t a lot to this experience but I think it would make a nice intro to what VR can do. The various displays are just scenes that have been given depth by separating the various parts kind of like a pop-up novelty greeting card, but the effect is good. The museum is very nicely done. It only took a few minutes to race around and have a quick look at most of the displays, and I don’t know about replay value, but it does seem like a great way to introduce guests and friends to the ability of VR to take you to places and let you experience some cool stuff. I’ll definitely go back in to see it in more detail.

Virtual Cottage
This program is not a game, but a timer, that you can use to track concentration sessions. It’s good to use with the Pomodoro technique.
Some things that I suggest as an improvement are:
-
allowing one more sound to be played besides (wind) and (fire), so that you could hear wind + fire + rain OR wind + fire + snow; and
-
make a “mini view” possible, displaying “clock”, “minutes to go”, “sound effects” controls and “music control”, in a smaller window size.
If the creators really want to “gamefy” this app, I suggest offering in a “shop” different objects to decorate the cottage: vases, plants, calendars, pictures, books, cookpots, rugs, lights, mattress and pillows colors, etc. We’ll not buy those items, but rather receive points on sessions completed according to sessions' durations of time. Then, we can you those received points to “buy” those itens in the “shop” and build our own inventory.

Let’s start with the fact that it’s not really a game, it’s fancy timer and as timer it totally could do better.
You set a name, a time and if you want a signal when it’s out and when it is you may set new one. If you ask me I think it would be nice to make kind of “pomodoro mode” and allow to set 2 timers, for work and for break, so when one timer is out you press “next” without spending time on writing. Though one is nice too.
I love there’s set of white noise generators - can pick few at a time and pretend it’s gross weather outside while you sit here warm by fire. Having a plaid irl totally helps with mood. There’s also music option but nothing I personally like or usually listen so 🤷♀️

Confessions
I really like the idea of this game, confess your deepest, darkest, or just plain secrets. I think for other peopls sake though, I saw the trigger warning in the games description. But I think it would be ideal to present that in the menu screen too. Also I think that It would be a cool add-on would be to change the font of the text, for an example, in the preview, there is an eerie font. But in the app, its an Ariel font.
Love the game, would recommend if you want to get something off your chest, our you’re just interested in what other people are doing. Just know, that If you are a bit sensative, do not buy. It 100% will make you reconsider buying. But I overall give this a 9/10.

Confessions is a game developed and published by Peace & Love Games
If you’re thinking this is a game, it isn’t
What it is is a software that is trying to copy what made Kind Words (lo fi chill beats to write to) so great and a once in a lifetime experience and change it into this platform where you can literally post your “confessions” which can be anything from harmless banter to some seriously fcked up sht
It tries to be an “interactive art installation”, but in my opinion, it’s just allowing anyone who even purchases this to write the most sadistic, twisted thoughts and views you could imagine
