The Yawhg
Initially, when I first heard of this game, I just figured, “hey, this looks kinda neat but I’m not paying $10 for it becuase I’m a lousy cheap-ass.” It looked like a cool concept to me and if it looks like a cool concept to you, then you’re perhaps in for something of a treat.
Now, when I first played it on my own, I wasn’t particularly entertained. I mean, yes, the different story paths were somewhat interesting and the various different endings were kinda cool but I wasn’t really absorbed into it. It was just something I used to make a good 45 minutes pass by one day when I was feeling bored. Then, while with some friends the other night, I decided to pull it out because we all needed a game to play and this just so happened to be multiplayer and seemed like a nice change of pace from the usual stuff we always tend to play (e.g. Genital Jousting, Jackbox Party Pack, etc.) What I didn’t expect was for us to keep playing over and over again for several more hours, as we found ourselves unusually entertained by this strange little game.

The Yawhg
The Yawhg is a quaint little game. The premise is simple, you control up to four characters in the weeks leading up to a great disaster known as The Yawhg. Nobody knows the Yawhg is coming, and you can only command your characters so far in that you pick an activity for them to complete each week.
Your characters will gain stat points for the activity you choose. For example, chopping wood increases strength. But random events will also happen, so while chopping wood you might meet a dryad, and they’ll ask you to dance. If your character has a high finesse score, you can impress the dryad with your dancing and receive a reward.

This game is beautiful. I was immersed every second of it and it gave me the feels.
Playing it with a best friend or someone you’re very close to hits on a whole different level.
It’s one of the best experiences I’ve had so far, it makes me crave more games like this.
If you have a close friend and you’re looking for something to co-play together, this will be a wonderful time for you.

Haven
The review key was provided by the developer.
»Anyway, how much rust do you need in order to “pull the panties down”?«
This review contains no major story spoilers.
Haven is a narrative-driven adventure that tells the classic, almost cliché story of two lovers on the run from an oppressive force trying to drive them apart. Luckily, the way the story is written and conveyed is pretty damn amazing and easily takes center-stage. The Game Bakers delivered something quite unique in many ways, and it is easy to fall in love with many aspects of this flawed gem.

Big Farm Story
I’ve never left a review for a game, but i felt i should leave one for this game. Firstly, I actually enjoyed this game. With that being said, i do think it has a lot of room for improvement. The biggest issue being the cost of crops vs what they can actually be sold for. I found that 90% of crops could only be sold for maybe 5-7 coins more than what it cost to grow them. And even certain crops say they make more when sold in the market, the difference is maybe 3-5 coins more than if they were just sold normally. This is also a common problem with other profitable items. There’s hardly any real balance, which makes it hard to make any real money even after grinding this game to a pulp in 60 hours after it’s release. The second issue i found with it, is the lack of actual story line. It’s a very slow progression to get anywhere, and then when I got to Chapter 6 I found myself saying “That’s it?” There’s not much to the characters either besides doing quests for them and earning friendship tokens, which just made it… boring. In terms of uniqueness, it is a very basic, linear story. Not really much to it. The MMO aspect was different though, but also random? I enjoy the idea of it, but in actuality the only real play ability with other players is visiting their house, and planting Friendship hummus to get more friendship tokens. Besides that I found it to be almost pointless and more of an inconvenience when trying to interact with quests in the town center. With all that being said, something about this game kept wanting to play more. It is similar to Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, so it is an overall very mellow and easy game to play. I found it to be very stress relieving because it is so easy to play and get along with. I also believe this is developers first PC game after focusing on more phone games, so it definitely has the phone game feel. Which all the more stresses the fact it has lots of room to improve. I would absolutely come back to check it out after some larger updates in the future, but as of right now I feel I’ve finished everything that is worth accomplishing in the game. I’m excited to see where this game ends up in the future.

Big Farm Story is a cute farming game still under development so I’ll be a little bit patient with the current game’s flaws. The story starts off like most of the farming games, you receive a letter from your grandfather asking you to take over the farm because he has something else he needs to check on. Once you arrived at the farm, you find it in a bad state after the recent storm, but your neighbor’s son Benny offered to help you. Your mission now is to find out where your grandfather is.

Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
I like it when a game, apart from delivering a certain amount of fun and challenge or aesthetical sensations, actually offers me something valuable, something that I can use to broaden my horizins a little, to fill certain gaps in knowledge or give insights into topics I would normally never explore.
Kisima Ingitchuna does exactly that. Not only does it look and sound great, but it also brought closer to me a certain culture and places that I may never have a chance to experience in person.
Anyway, the review:
– Real player with 12.3 hrs in game
Never Alone is an atmospheric side scrolling platformer that tells us the touching story of a girl and her companion, a white fox, set out to find the source of the eternal blizzard which is ravaging her community.
The story is based on an old Iñupiaq tale, a symbolic legend of a civilization that has been dealing with nature’s hardships for centuries. You guide Nuna and her friend an Arctic Fox in a journey through the Alaskan wilderness.
The art style is so amazing, with beautiful graphics and lovely drawn characters. The stunning environments possibly make Never Alone one of the most beautiful games out there.

Death Trash
I made a poor narrative choice when I killed every character that looked important, and looking back it was definitely a wrong decision to experience the game, but it’s still nice to have that freedom. Overall the game is a competent tribute to the Fallout series, although I do think that further into the story the game falls apart in terms of difficulty scaling and itemization. There are so many moving parts with a game like this, even the UI would have to be pretty complicated to put everything together, so despite having some polish issues, I still think the dev did a decent job. Notably, the game feels like it was designed with a controller in mind, the way you change the items often involves cycling, which is only ideal if you have limited buttons, and I wish it was more straightforward for the keyboard. Interestingly, the combat also features stamina-based moves, even though I would not qualify it as a souls-like, it still has some similarities when it comes to the melee gameplay. Now I wouldn’t say the game has a great pixel-timing with the enemy attacks, the way you block needs to be more rewarding, I would often get hit right after blocking or dodging - it really depends on the enemy.

One of the first things you encounter in Death Trash is a giant Fleshkraken. A disturbingly pinkish, pulsating, fleshy mass of tentacles, seemingly embedded and sticking out of a wall. Next to him is his human guardian that tells you his ward has been a bit silent lately. Turns out, the Fleshkraken can speak to you, in simple words, but enough to tell you that he wants something. This pops up your first side quest. It’s immediately obvious that from here on out, things can only get more weird, bizzare and definitely more twisted.

Exorcise The Demons
Although this game can be fun for like an hour or two it is really repetitive and sadly isn’t worth it’s price.
I don’t want to be mean or something, I know a lot of people put effort into this but in an honest review I wouldn’t recommend it for the simple reason that it doesn’t have enough content for it’s price.
– Real player with 5.2 hrs in game
If you are a fan of games like We Were Here, you will enjoy this. It’s a co-op game, and only one of the two people playing has to own it, making it worth the price. It looks good and sounds good. It was a blast dual-streaming it with Domino427 and we both definitely struggled with figuring out some of the puzzles. (There may have been some stream-sniping cheating going on.) The only issue we had was extending the timers didn’t work. We really needed extra time on some of the puzzles, but the timer was ignored. That got frustrating, so hopefully it’s fixed down the road. There aren’t many puzzles either, but there are plans to add more content. I still feel comfortable recommending it in its current state. Just know you might want to smack your friend afterwards.

Soul Searching
SPOILERS
In “Soul Searching,” there is a main purpose that is NOT supported by the game itself. That unsupported purpose is that we as people have to tackle our problems, not run away from them. While the black-and-white cutscenes do have characters that reflect upon this concept, the main story diverts completely away from it. The main story is short and very uneventful. You seem to be soul searching only because your ancestors did so, not because you actually need to. What did soul searching have to do with mending the friendship between people and dragons again? The story is completely capable of completion WITHOUT awakening any souls and learning their ablities. When the dragon took me back to my home island and the game ended, I wondered if throughout the game I was either trying to save souls (from what?) or create peace with dragons and humans again. Would I reccomend this game for only seven dollars? Only if you’re looking for something aesthetic and pleasing to the eye. But to those who are searching for a clear and sensible story, be warned.

Here we have a lovely indie game filled with melancholy, depresssion, hope, dreams, death and living. It is a very small game but you can clearly see that every piece of it made with love and care.
The story mode is maybe a bit short but definitely sweet and surely make you smile and warm your heart. Also you’ll probably miss somethings at your first play so you’ll give it an another try at least on more time.
Also when you have couple of your friends with you, you could try random mode. Playing it solo was fun, sailing with your ship etc. but it is much much more fun when you have your friends with you to sail with. When everyone operating a different stuff on the ship, people coordinating how to sail, navigate, fish then you’ll see how it is totally different from the story mode but equally if not more fun to play.
