Happy Bones
Happy Bones is like a beautiful fever dream that continued to surprise me and simultaneously disgust me all the way through.
You won’t forget this game for sure, I’ve never played anything quite like it!

Vamp Night
It’s an interesting idea. Sort of a stripped down Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines. There aren’t many quests and little interaction/dialogue with the NPCs. The developer is adding new content and improving the game, so it’s a work in progress. You basically wander the city sandbox and try to balance feeding and avoiding sunrise as well as hunters while picking up money. You can also acquire a haven and decorate it.
The game is a little dark and it can be a little difficult to see in some areas (even with the games brightness turned all the way up). The hunters literally come out of nowhere, but it keeps you on your toes. You can’t fight them melee, but you can shoot them (and anyone else who attacks you) using a gun you pick up.

The game is really fun and well worth the purchase. !But there is just one thing: at this stage, people with weak PC are better off not playing and waiting for fixes - since the developers regularly patch the game - normal optimization is not far off.
Игра действительно интересная и стоит того, чтобы её приобрести. Правда есть одно !но - на данном этапе людям со слабыми машинами лучше не играть и подождать фиксов, благо разработчики регулярно латают игру, а там глядишь и нормальная оптимизация не за горами.

Game was definitely fun, especially co-op. There were a few bugs like when I saw 6 wolves just stand there with no hitbox whatsoever after a fight. The story did not really hook me, however, we didn’t pay a lot of attention to it anyway so I definitely won’t say anything about that, it seemed interesting enough and I simply missed it basically completely. The mechanics are a little clunky and we felt a little lost and/or stupid at times but it’s a really fun and interesting game to play; looking forward to the next chapters. Not recommended if you’re looking for a high-quality horror game or something similar, though. I’d also like to mention that the music really doesn’t fit the atmosphere at some points in the game but it made it rather entertaining lmao

Imprisoned Hyperion
Story
Inside the Imprisoned Hyperion, you will find yourself in a dark and mysterious dungeon after the end of the world. Now life on the surface is no longer possible and people have gone beneath the ground. But it didn’t go as planned… People had to start a war with the underground inhabitants. People lose it and are gonna die eventually. Though you are not their savior and not a hero. Because you have your own more important goal in this world, and most of its inhabitants will never understand you. No matter what comes next, but you will achieve your aim.
Features
In the dark dungeons of Hyperion, there are many dangerous creatures that will drain your powers. Steel and spells are a good helper, but there are no magic potions that will restore your powers. So, act wisely, look for food and safe places to recover.
Play your way
There are different ways to succeed. Poison the food in the kitchen to avoid battle or kill the mage who gave you the task to get your reward without completing the task. Your adventure has a specific goal and no matter how you will achieve it. Use your wits and ability to improvise..
Witch Hunt
I want to start this review by saying I really admire a lot of the design choices made in this game. A lot of care has been put into the atmosphere, sound and exploration. That being said, the last boss really soured the entire experience for me for a number of reasons.
Before I talk about the last boss, I’ll start with everything I love about this game.
I love how to the point this game is. It gives you a few lines of exposition, then you are in. You are doing your own thing, there is basically no interuptions. It does not hold your hand, it lets you experience every surprise and you learn how to deal with them on your own. The world map is not too big, and has enough strange things in it to discover to keep you entertained while hunting down the beasts. I really love that the creatures you are hunting down are roaming the world and can be anywhere. The game also keeps account of their location each time you save, or fast travel. So finding each beast for the first time is an amazing experience.

This game is incredibly atmospheric and just fun to play and explore. The quality of this game is very high, and you can tell that a lot of care is going into developing it.
There are a few things I’d like to criticize
- The enemies sound much closer than they actually are. The sounds enemies make are very loud compared to their actual location relative to the player. If that could be changed, it would make things more tense and balanced, as it is too easy to locate enemies based on their sounds from far distances.

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is the sort of game that feels like it’s flying apart as you play. It’s an authentically janky experience, filled with rough visuals, rough AI, and rough edges of all sorts… but a surprisingly playable, unique, charming, and fun “janky experience.”
At heart it’s actually a fairly simple FPS–traditional, even, with its backtracking and weapon inventory and twitchy gunplay. You’re tasked with exploring a pseudo-random castle to rescue various family members and deal with the local vampire population. “Deal with” in this case meaning “slaughter.”

In the endless search for quality in the bargain bin of the Steam catalog, there lies a special category for games that many have purchased on a whim, but never played. These tend to be older games, created under time crunches or by small studios. They became either punching bags for being mediocre crap, or things that are actually worth talking about, but fly under the radar because everyone’s backlogs are constantly filled with superior products purchased on sale. It’s a shame, as Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is an interesting experience that provides quite a bit of bang for the buck (or 3, if you’re not getting it on sale.)

SUNLESS SEA
Wanted to pop a review out for this game, albeit brief.
The Sunless Sea is a top-down view game, where you make a captain and take a ship out to zee to explore the unknown, make adventures, probably die, and then make a new captain who might inherit a few of the things your last one had. For me, this was one of the first top-down games I’d played before, and its exploration focus was very different from my prior experiences of turn-based strategy games, or first/3rd person adventure/shooters and the Teltale games. These were my impressions coming from that background.

Is there a sea more sunless? This game is marketed as an immersive, story-driven, almost roguelike, nautically themed romp through alternate history London, circa 1890s. The people at Failbetter Games have created something both motivating and meaningful in their games surrounding Fallen London, utilizing hundreds of storylets that drive the player toward various choices and options.
At first playthrough, especially if you didn’t play the precursor game Fallen London, you will find yourself immersed in a world that follows many of the rules and expectations of our own, but with many questions and concepts left unanswered. I went in without having played Fallen London (though I did go back and play it once I was hooked on Sunless Sea) and my mind immediately was grabbed by the implications of what was going on in the game world around me. I loved the content and the lore that the world seemed to be steeped in, and loved it even more for the fact that it didn’t give up its secrets without its due. This game is primarily an exploration game with the pretense of combat and economics, though those are not the primary focus. That said, I very much enjoy the combat and trading aspect, but it does come easier as you get more established. It is the process of becoming established that I think turns so many initial players away.

The Swine
How does this game have good ratings ? I love the horror genre, but they completely dropped the ball on this one . By the end of it I thought to myself , that’s it ? Thankfully it was only 1.99. The graphics on the other hand are top notch and if they would have taken a different route this could have been a fantastic game . Going into it it , I was hoping it was going to be like Granny or Evil Nun , 2 of of my fav hide and seek horror games, but the potential was wasted on a mediocre plot that’s not unique and just wasn’t fun to play . It’s a walking sim , which I actually like if there’s more exploration involved, but most of the time the only thing you’re doing is picking up books laid out through the house and picking up tarot cards … yep that’s the whole game . Terrible

Not bad, and not very good either.
This is a short, cheap walking simulator in a house in rural America that has a small Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe to it.
You go about your life while your wife is stuck in the bathroom and “intruders” slowly disorient your household, with excellent visuals and decent sound. The main problem is that this game is very short and has only one or two solid jump scares and then it ends! Not much else to it… examining drawers and classic books is really the only side part to this game.

Pawn of the Dead
Nice change on chess games, waiting for new scenarios
– Real player with 5.7 hrs in game
If you’re a chess fan, don’t miss Pawn of the Dead. New rules totally reinvigorate the game (but the original’s still there if you want it). Campaign is a series of 64 challenges but as if that wasn’t enough there’s also an arcade-style “queen vs zombies” mode.
You probably have to be a chess fan to enjoy this, but if you are, this is mindblowing. Features a campaign with 64 challenges, a “queen vs zombies” mode, 2p mode and both classic and zombie rules.
