Time management crossed with puzzle - Making sure plants get enough sunlight and water within constraints of a moving day schedule, with reflective mirrors. Stressful… I don’t have a green thumb.

START AGAIN: a prologue
Lovely game. It succeeds in making you care a lot about every character even though it’s very short. The writing is masterful, the art is simple but really works, the combat system wants to make you feel like it’s rushed, but actually works perfectly.

It made me cry big tears while not alone in broad daylight

Tip: if you get the credits that’s the ““true”” ending, but if you want to get all 4 endings (and you really really should get them), just roleplay, that is to say, feel what the game tells you your character feels at the moment it tells you to. Then go to therapy because it’s a lot.

Start Again balances sweetness and depression through this short story about a timeloop. The combat is solid and fun, if a bit simplistic. But the real reason to play is for the characters, dialogue and art. You can’t help but fall in love with these likeable, cheesy, heartwarming characters. Overall, for $11 its a good deal if you enjoy short character focused JRPGs. I can’t wait for the next part :)

Twelve Minutes
Story? Starts out strong. Sadly, it doesn’t stay there.
Gameplay? Most of the playthrough, I think it’s fairly clear what you need to do to advance in the story. But then it gets less and less clear to the point it can turn into trial and error.
Good ending? Sigh.
Famous celebs doing voicework that totally anonymous voice actors probably could have done just as well and for a lot cheaper? In spades!
Halfway through this game, maybe even 3 quarters of the way through, I was impressed and it was an easy recommendation. By the end, I was frustrated for all the reasons mentioned above and lamenting how much I’d paid to feel that way.

When considering movies and games such as Groundhog Day, Edge of Tomorrow, and Katana Zero - all of which involve replaying moments in time - they limit how much of the repetition to showcase before switching gears and focusing on how the loops change instead. These changes are often significant, which imbues these stories with more textured and entertaining content.
Twelve Minutes takes the opposite approach. The entire game unfolds in a tiny apartment where there isn’t much to do, and the changes between most loops are minor. Meanwhile, you have to bear the full brunt of the time loop’s repetitive forces, as you relive the same conversations and events over and over again. The dialogue-skip option offers little comfort, as its reach only extends to the ends of currently-spoken sentences.

Marginal act
So I’ve played this game for about 3 hours and I personally love it. It’s visually wonderful with the dadaism style of art and the funky use of perspective. The art really fits in with the idea of a slowly collapsing society. I spent a good 5 minutes just appreciating the map and all the detail put in. I loved the look of the NPCs and all the textures, too. The sound design gave off a nice creepy vibe and I loved the wide variety of sound effects. The controls felt good and I’m very appreciative of the use of colliders on the obstacles. I was worried that because of the perspective, I would be hit by enemies/obstacles even if I wasn’t really touching them but it was actually really easy and fun to maneuver through. The game is pretty solid when it comes to not having glitches/ places where you easily could get physically stuck which was nice.

If you have to describe a game, and you cannot find terms or similarities to help you with, sometime can be a really positive thing. Because it means originality. So, in this moment I really find complicated to described Marginal Act, it is a game so hermetic, strange and peculiar that without playing it could be difficult to understand.
The plot is also obscure and surreal, intriguing but difficult to figure it out. Also, a superficial english translation will not help to understand it. But this will not affect the progress or the enjoyment of the game. There are also multiple endings.

Tormenta do Tempo
Very cute and fun game in retro graphics! Great soundtrack and good storyline will give you lots of hours to complete. I suggest you play this game with a gamepad as it is a lot easier and in my opinion more fun. It is very satisfying to kill the monsters

BOT.vinnik Chess: Combination Lessons
tldr; If you play Chess, get this.
To start, I don’t think anyone will play this for 34 hours unless you leave your PC on with this up like I did–but I still highly recommend it for new-to-okayish players looking for insight. I’ve ran through it a couple times & if it hasn’t improved my Chess game, it’s at least given me some new angles and strategies to think about. The aesthetic and presentation are perfect and make the techniques easier to digest, and it’s the price of a cup of coffee. All considered, it makes grabbing this the easiest decision you can make in Chess.

If you are a beginner (like me), you will probably like it. It teaches you some basic and easy chess tactics, and I’m sure you’ll have fun with the mostache guy. But something that perhaps some people will not like is that the mustache guy wom’t explain why your wrong movements are wrong, if you want to know what you shouldn’t do that, you will have to think about it for yourself.
Anyway, even if it’s a short game, it is really cheap and you will probably learn something useful from it, so I recommend it.
