Aveliana

Aveliana

Aveliana is an infiltration-action-adventure game in 2.5D with unique and diverse gameplay: based on the detection pattern of enemies, you find your own route through the worlds. All the enemies can be avoided in the idea of a commandos-like. The gameplay is ultra-dynamic because it is focussed on a single character, Aveliana.

If you feel one path is too complicated or you want to explore a new route, it is always possible to find a secret path, in which the game smoothly transition from 2.5D to a 2D platformer. And if you are tremendous, you can choose to stand and fight your enemies!

The gameplay is constantly renewed in Aveliana thanks to the many enemies that I have crafted for you. Each of them has a different detection and attack pattern. Big enemies, like robots, can not be directly targetted because they are too tall. However, Aveliana has other tricks in her bag. All along with the game, you will also unlock new abilities to build your character.

Aveliana is also a game with beautiful environments that you will want to explore to discover all the secrets of the game. Each level has a different environment and atmosphere. Sometimes, after an action-packed sequence, you will have the joy to admire the decor before continuing the adventure! After a long journey in an environment entirely hand-drawn, you will face fierce and unique bosses!

Chibi Horror: The School

Chibi Horror: The School

I really enjoyed this game as something different. You roam the halls of the haunted school, hoping not to run into the one active chaser as you collect eight books. Books appear in random locations each time, and you never know where the chaser is.

There are some jump scares, though they didn’t always appear in the same place or happen each time. Overall it’s pretty fun and you have infinite run and battery life. The only problem I had is that the chaser can spawn right in front of you even if you just left her a floor away, so there is an element of luck as well.

It’s like, Minecraft slender man but with your pixelated wives. You never know what they are going to do. They will stalk you and try to get your attention. If you are really lucky, you will never see any of them due to the way they randomly roams around. I am deathly scared of little girls stalking me so… it’s perfect for me. https://youtu.be/iYnCeasOte4

Another great game coming out of the Sokpop Collective.

Whenever I’m feeling down, I always hit up the Sokpop Collective for a cute and interesting game, and this game doens’t come as an exception. The atmosphere is comfy as heck, and I absolutely adored exploring around the open world, hopping in and out of tallgrass to hide from the guards while saving the little children.

I would love for this game to be more developed and realized into a more thorough experience, as even in this tiny world, I had the same feeling I had when playing Breath of the Wild for the first time.

HELPLESS

HELPLESS

(Very) short game about going through an abandonned hospital, mostly about finding an object to allow you go through to the next area, and hide from the main enemy.

Well done and nice to play, but little replay value.

I really enjoyed this one. Sound fx and music were on point with the creepy factor and I like how you seemed “Helpless” when trying to escape at the end. It made for some great content as well (except for the copyright claim). EDIT The Copyright Claim was released - Great first game! https://youtu.be/HKgInJur_2I

Hideout: Face your fears

Hideout: Face your fears

I haven’t finished the game yet, however, it seems pretty cool, the graphics is promising, voice acting it perfect, story seems to fit the atmosphere… I’d never say I’m going to enjoy in any stealth game, but here I am.

EDIT: It feels like I’m almost at the end of the game, still no complaints, there was one bugged door which I went through and fell, not a big deal though… Still enjoying it!

EDIT 2: I’ve completed the game today, and I can say that I’m quite disappointed at how the game ended… Looking forward for the updates (if there will be any).

Its a great game! Decently put together, has a lot of potential. The sneaking is a really cool aspect and how you use devises is super sweet. Overall great game! Beware if you go through the door at the end boss (fountain entrance) instead of jumping off it will glitch the game making the robot spin in circles and not see you at all. Got stuck on the end for a solid 1hour and a half lol..

9/10

Update to review:

Well well well, I reviewed at 3 hrs in originally, and estimated there’d be another ~3 or so hours of content and achievement hunting to go.

Now I’m 11 hrs in, thanks to further updates to the game play modes and multiple ways the game can be completed with different endings.

What a gem this turned out to be.

Original review:

Fun little game. Great for the value/cost.

It has quite a high level of polish for the price - various voice over actors, lots of sci-fi and semi-organic/cyber assets in play, many usual tropes like steam vents and so on. The game works and runs well. Enough tension to make you fumble and fall.

That son-of-a-gun DSD’s gone and done it again! He took my smeared brain matter from my playthroughs and obsession, mind you- most notably of Our Secret Below (OSB), INNER and he reconstructed them using some advanced tech! Being a patron of his work, seeing his tireless efforts in creating meaningful yet underrated haunting experiences has been inspiring!

Arcanbreak

Arcanbreak

It is a point and click adventure the characters can be moved with ‘w-a-s-d’ and then there is mouse to point and click. The experience could have been better if there was an option to press a key when the character is near the object to know about the object.

Real player with 3.4 hrs in game

It’s a strange feeling, being first to review a Steam title.

Arcanbreak is a fantastical thriller and adventure game about abuse of power. It’s a short adventure that’ll take about 1-2 hours of your time to fully complete.

PROS:

  • The atmosphere is dreary. The dark lighting and ominous music provokes the sense that something dark is brewing in town, and that’s one motivator to keep on the case.

  • The character designs are nice enough. There’s a Kingdom Hearts meets Bloodborne aesthetic here, which I’m all for.

    ! Comrade Alexandria is a hardened fighter. Little movements, like the way characters will bob their heads around every here and then as a lookout, are nice touches. The banter takes a dark, but quirky approach, and it’s nice to read. Arun and Quila make neat protagonists.
