Like a walk through a museum, you move through art and the art moves you. Nobody can tell you how it should make you feel. But maybe by the end of the experience, the ordeal, you’ll leave the museum a stronger person. That is the beauty of Cat Notebook; there is no wrong way to play, no wrong way to go. At the end of it all is an audiovisual experience that changes you for the better, or for the worse. For those seeking deep introspection, you’ve come to the right place.

I’m not sure how to approach reviewing this game(?), so I suppose I’ll just see how my experience stacks up to the list of features in the description.

“• explore a cat notebook”

I definitely did that, so, check that one off.

“• many unique illustrations to look at and songs to listen to”

To be precise, there are 97 unique illustrations, and 97 songs to go along with each one. Accurate enough so far.

“• do cat-like things”

You can move around. You can meow, sleep, and sit. Seems pretty cat-like.

Lost Dream

Lost Dream

First, there was WORK TRIP. A short and simple Game in a colourfull World. Lighthearted and chilling with a nice Music. And so was the second Game HIKE. It was like that, too, but it added an Exciting Atmosphere.

Now we have the third Game of Morning Shift Studios.

Welcome to LOST DREAM.

At first,LOST DREAMS seems to be inspired by THE FIRST TREE, it feels like a Bow to it.

In both Games we have a wonderfull World, nice Piano Music and a Fox on the Search.

And i like it.

I love this game, though it honestly is tiny. It only took me thirty five minute to unlock all the achievements and play through the game twice. And the second time I was poking around, having fun. You play as a fox who is off to rescue his vixen. In your search you’ll travel across several colorful levels, jumping, swimming, and figuring out a puzzle.

I enjoyed it, but if you are expecting the scope or storyline on The First Tree, you might be disappointed. You are a fox, complete with cute little fox paws and swishy tail. The swimming and running animations are cute, and there are nice details like falling leaves.

Secrets Of Soil

Secrets Of Soil

This almost gets a thumbs-up. However, I have to give it a thumbs-down due to the absurdly sanctimonious narrative.

This is amazing for 80% of the game. It’s like an interactive simulation that a prominent Natural History Museum might have on display. Go into this as sober or as high as you like, and take flight through psychedelic soil, while learning the science behind how it produces almost all of the food we eat. Amazing. It almost pains me to not be able to recommend it.

Why can’t I? The end of the game has such a ridiculously pessimistic view of things like global warming, and plowing the f♥♥♥ing soil, that you’d think the world was guaranteed to end before 2022. Then they throw in ridiculous “don’t get me wrong” moments, such as: “don’t get me wrong, chemicals used to grow crops in infertile areas did save tens of millions of human lives, and entire races of people would have otherwise collectively died slow and painful deaths by mass starvation, BUT!!! Chemicals are still pure evil, because…”

If you want a good alternative to LSD, this is for you :D

But in all seriousness, this game is a really fun way to look at and educate about soil, and the effects agriculture has on it. Very well explained and definitely recommended for everyone who wants to learn more about ways to save our planet.

Nice work.

Sunlight

Sunlight

Awful. A collection of random voices muttering gibberish in splat water color forest, and your arms are missing. You can’t understand what they are saying, so just tune them out. There is nothing to interact with, just painted trees and land, and sky. It takes a full minute to boot into it, and likewise to get out of it… Maybe if you waste 20 minutes into it, you can find some angle in the ‘forest’ to take a few nice screenshots and use them as desktop wall paper. But not much else in this, some additional random moaning choir music, pleasant but formless and meaningless. Pity, it seemed like it would have potential if they cleaned up the broken audio noise, reverb overload and overlapping garbled voices. In SETTINGS - You can turn down the voices, the Music, and or turn down the nature sounds to Silent. Try just Nature, no voices, no music. Then, you’ll enjoy a quiet walk in the woods. It does have an ending once you pick a handful of flowers. You can post your thoughts at the ending to share them with others. You could also just put on the music and silence the rest, enjoy the music playing in the background while you work. But the voices - ugh - babbling gibberish. Graphics 7/10 - watercolor trees.

Sunlight

Sunlight is a thirty-minute walk through a beautiful forest enhanced by a wonderful Tchaikovsky arrangement. It’s a decent entry in the walking sim genre.

TRIP Steam Edition

TRIP Steam Edition

I love psychedelia, either in music, art or playing psychedelic looking games, unfortunately I was quite disappointed in TRIP: Steam Edition after experiencing it for nearly 10 hours in bite-sized chunks over the last 24 hours since I purchased it; that is, at least in its present state. As it is early access I may change my opinion as time progresses, but that will depnd on what the developer does for the game. It says the artware is an open world environment; for me that conjures up the thought that you are able to explore every part of the world you find yourself in. Sadly I found there were many places I wasn’t able to explore, for example trying to get from many places via hills, you aren’t able to climb anything steeper than about 45 degrees, this basically locks off loads of area of the world so far created. I tried for hours to find ways to access certain area’s, but was always held back by the inability to climb anything too steep.

! Wait… Last time I remember I bought this game under $1 and now the price become like this? lol

This game is… Stunning. It is an art of surrealism and lots of random stuffs going on inside.

You just like, explore and walk around, seeing weird things and yet, aesthetic.

Pretty much no purpose or any kind of things to do in game.

Probably there are something to do but I still can’t figure out what to do, because I see ‘Collection’ in the pause menu of the game.

If you are an art lover and admirer, you should definitely get this game. (If you willing to pay that amount of price though)

Unforgettable You

Unforgettable You

A delightful free game with 20 chapters to play. The story of a man meeting the love of his life done in a beautiful silhouette style reminiscent of Amphora.

A warning for those people who are not very dexterous. There are platform elements in this game, some requiring precision and others speed. Hence my lengthy time!!

Each chapter has a different environment and they are just gorgeous. Some are darker than others. There are 3 hearts to find in each chapter and they are very easy to find. Some are more difficult to get to than others.

What a beautiful game! The visuals and soundtrack is stunning (I need the soundtrack in my life haha!) each one completely fitting the mood of each level!

I suck at platformers so it took me a little longer then it would maybe take others, but it’s definitely worth a play!

The story really represents the ups and downs and the different emotions experienced through a relationship with someone, since the very first moment they met them.

Deep Abyss

Deep Abyss

Deep Abyss is composed of independent chapters, connected as one structure.

  • It has a unique Control that seems unfamiliar yet simple to get used to.

  • Explore the deep sea and space yourself as a diver. Swim through strange yet beautiful backgrounds and music. It will give you a new gaming experience that you have not felt in other games.

  • The story progresses in the form of poetry rather than a linear composition. It is a game resembling a small painting where you can achieve poetic and artistic sensibility.

EPONYMOUS

EPONYMOUS

DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review

EPONYMOUS is a game developed and published by Minor Key Games

The game offers some nice graphics, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same

The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless

EPONYMOUS overall, however, is a fun game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring and tedious if being played for a long time, but is a great little horror game to play in short bursts!

Not really sure what or even if there was a story or message, but as a visual experience I enjoyed this. Plenty of options for sound controls fov to make it a comfortable experience and really let you get lost in the game for a bit. Levels aren’t too confusing, but the dialog is. Maybe it’s because I haven’t put in the time to read the footnoted content in the credits before playing to understand the placement of quotes and such, or maybe it’s just simply meant to be confusing as part of the experience. Also Found a potato so that was the most rewarding thing I got from this game lol. I appreciated the potato. I played through it a second time to look at the things I missed which was nothing major, just a few quotes as far as I can tell. Anyways, it’s cheap, takes a few minutes give it a try if the screenshots look appealing to you.

Fibrillation HD

Fibrillation HD

It’s been a few years since a game has reminded me of the stunning brutalist architecture, jaw-dropping scale, and haunting atmosphere of NaissanceE like Fibrillation HD has done here. What’s more, there is genuine horror here with some standout moments involving skeletons, skull-snakes, and Aztec-blockhead giants. The game’s short length of about 2 hours actually does it a big favour over NaissanceE where there’s a lot of variety and memorability in setting and level ideas over 18 levels rather than any one thing you’re doing overstaying its welcome.

Introduction

You don’t see remastered versions for purely abstract games very often. The Void was a pleasant exception and now I can add Fibrillation HD to that prestigious list. You see, I’m a big fan of games that hide details and ideas in plain sight. Titles that are both creative and puzzling at the same time. It’s even more enticing when you realize that both the original and the HD versions of Fibrillation are the skilled efforts of a single individual, Egor Rezenov.
