Murders in Space

Murders in Space

“Urgent. This is orbital station PEGASUS. Presence of unidentified criminal on board. Demand immediate intervention. Situation of crew intolerable. I repeat, demand immediate intervention.” Use observational, analytical, and interrogative abilities to track down a murderer on a space station before they claim their next victim.

  • Save the lives of crew members by staying one step ahead of the killer – or witness their demise if you fall behind.

  • Timing is key: 24 hours remain to solve the mystery, with crew members changing their positions and activities every hour of in-game time. Set the pace with the ability to speed up, slow down, and stop time.

  • Ask the right questions: Interrogate crew members to get at their individual secrets and true intentions.

  • Run biological tests and use specialized gadgets for clue detection and analysis.

  • Dock a space shuttle, conduct a space walk, and explore a fully crewed space station in zero gravity – as imagined by the game’s designers 8 years before the launch of the International Space Station.

Killer Inside Us

Killer Inside Us

A 3d rendition of a popular 2d game that works quite well. Support for up to 10 players at once and the ability to wear a duck on your head as you spook those who aren’t dead yet… Sus.

Alien Function

Alien Function

Fun game with great story line and good puzzles ranging from easy to very challenging. Very very linear but the story line was engaging enough to want to keep on the ride. Really brought me back to the experiences i had playing Kings Quest, Police Quest, etc series way back in the day (showing my age now).

no hints, this game is bad.

i really wanted to see the end of this, but it’s just a ‘‘click everything until something works’’

also, the only alien you will see is on the title screen.

Area 86

An excellent and innovative game.

You can smash glass in this game- what else can you ask from the developer? The controls are a bit hard to get used to, but with some practices you’ll get it.

Bugs do exist, but the devs listen to bug reports on Discord and do make attempts to fix them.

This stupid clumsy robot won’t let me sleep… the game is so addictive :-)

The robot controls kind of sluggish and shattered objects on the ground make things more wonky. But this was done in a way that makes the game challenging and not frustrating … ok, I was lying, it is frustrating at times … in a good way.

The graphics are crisp and charming and I love the music, although there seems to be only one song. The developer is doing a great job at fixing bugs too :-)

Killer: Infected One of Us

Killer: Infected One of Us

I think this game is too incomplete for it to be released. There is a lot of bugs and things missing. I understand why the release happened, to get content on what needs to be added and such. But there is simple things that this game should have stayed in beta testing. Not only do I see many problems, it is also is a pay to play when in 25 minutes of “playing” I cant even stay in a lobby with friends, nor can I actually stay in a game. I do not know why this game was created based off Among Us and yet there are simple things needed that would just make 10x times better release if they did at least one more month of testing and fixing and adding in little details for friends to actually stick together. I am not saying its a bad game, I just think it should have stayed in the incubator just a little longer.

Hi, I’m a streamer producing content in Turkey. At the same time, I want to produce content related to this game on my Youtube channel called “Barding Games”. I shot my first video with a team of 6 people and we didn’t have any problems. The scenes, tasks, locations are very creative and beautiful, but when it comes to playing with 12 people, some of us entered the game invisible at the beginning of the game and we could only see them with tiny pixels. No matter what we did, we couldn’t solve the problem. (we closed and opened the game, restarted steam, etc.) Another issue, the difficulty of the missions is too much to be discussed. If you insist on playing the game, you solve the tasks after 6-7 games. However, people who are new to the game and trying to observe never understand the tasks and have difficulty continuing the game. The tasks that we spent minutes to do are endless. Even when the infected person is sluggish, we find it difficult to complete tasks. instant monitored streamer of 3000-4000 in Turkey, I saw they were trying to play in twitch.tv; While watching their past broadcasts, I realized that they could not be patient with the second game. Although the game has great potential, it needs immediate change. Please hear our voices and improve the game. We want to play this game.

Saboteur

Saboteur

In a game of one versus up to six other players both teams need to use observational skills and planning to succeed.

There are 12 objectives spread across three floors. You have 30 minutes. There are 6 Security Forces and the Saboteur only needs 6 objectives to win. Play too passive as Security and you lose.

Play too aggressively as the Saboteur and you’ll give yourself away.

Security has to be careful though, kill a scientist and the Saboteur wins. Kill the Saboteur and you win. If the Saboteur can’t get enough objectives in time Security wins.

The Saboteur

  • You have to achieve your objective of sabotaging enough critical areas while blending in with the AI controlled scientists. Don’t draw any unwanted attention. Observe and mimic the scientists.

  • You have several tools to your advantage, like the ability to sabotage lights and doors among others.

  • With greater mobility you can outmanoeuvre Security Forces if you play smart.

Security Forces

  • Deduce the identity of the Saboteur by observing the scientists.

  • Patrol and defend the critical stations from sabotage.

  • Work together with the rest of the Security Force, communication is key.

Time Trap 2 - Search and Find Objects Game - Hidden Pictures

Time Trap 2 - Search and Find Objects Game - Hidden Pictures

The game is inexpensive and for the money it is a great game in the style of story-driven puzzles. The world is distorted here, but how deeply you explore it, so deeply new interesting moments open up in it. Very beautiful elements for drawing events, backgrounds, pictures. Undoubtedly, it is worth noting the music, which deeply immerses in the game. I will definitely recommend this game to all fans of the genre, because it literally “captures” you for many hours.

More of the same from Crisp App studio, story doesn’t make much sense but the HOGs are good. I do like the crazy surreal sci-fi scenes in this one. There are more non HOGs than the previous game such as spot the difference and swap-pieces until the image is done type thing.

The ordinary case of Margaret Luoni

The ordinary case of Margaret Luoni

The head of the laboratory turned to Dirk for help in the investigation of the murder of his employee. What happened to one of the greatest minds in the Cat Head Nebula? What color do the Sumlings hate? Where can I get carbs for my secretary? And in what order did the great Blork Gnarbs draw his pictures? Why me?

You will find the answer to these and other obviously important questions by helping Dirk in the investigation.

  • World: In a world where teleportation and robots are as commonplace as a cup of coffee, there are almost no living plants left. Humans are a lower caste and they are doing the work that hardly anyone else wants to do. For example, to investigate murders. The Margaret Luoni case is one of detective Dirk’s many investigations. There will be others! Learn new details of the futuristic universe and meet new galactic races.

  • Plot: Travel between planets of the Cat Head Nebula, interrogate witnesses, and find new evidence. Solve puzzles and approach different witnesses with Galactic Handbooks. There are no obvious solutions here, find your own way to solve problems and get 2 different endings.

  • Graphics: Everything from locations to the smallest of objects is hand-drawn, as well as painstakingly created character animations

  • Music: amazingly atmospheric music

Warp Frontier

Warp Frontier

I do not think the puzzles are good, but overall I find this game compelling, both in the story and for the meta-puzzle of ‘what do I have to do differently to get the other achievement’ element. One playthrough takes very roughly seven hours. I was in the beginning of my second playthrough when I started this review. I think it would need at least three playthroughs to get all the achievements. For full disclosure, I’m an immigrant to Australia. If you don’t like our sarcasm, you may not like the presentation and characters.

edit: more save slots available + skippable travel animations.

warp frontier stars space cop and former drummer vince ‘tin man’ cassini, who kicked some ass back in the day when he wasn’t on the turps or gigging with his band, but still has some juice left in him (the non-alcoholic variety). on his way home for a birthday celebration, his ship gets shot down. after some first aid to the ship he finds the attackers, killed by nothing somehow, then runs into a girl who leads him to something he’s been trying to find for a long time.

My Jigsaw Adventures - The Source of Power

My Jigsaw Adventures - The Source of Power

Awesome jigsaw puzzle game with chill music to puzzle to. For the regular story you control size of puzzle as well as shape of the pieces (i.e. you play your way).

Cons:

  • The “snap to” feature should have a slider to control its effectiveness. It is simply too helpful for my taste.

  • When starting a new puzzle after reopening the game, you have to scroll down to find the current puzzle. It would be nice if you could see current puzzles at the top.

Neither of these cons are a good enough reason for you to not check out this game.

It the first jigsaw puzzle I really play on pc. it’s quite relaxing adding the story with the puzzles it a nice bonus.
