Review:

This game was sick I enjoyed the hell out of it finally a cheaper game that’s not just super bad or a cash grab. This was definitely worth the money it hearkens me back to the days of finding the weird part of youtube which is hard to find. Insanely creepy and surreal but it also keeps a pretty tangible story. The game is pretty dang hard to get the good ending in as well the timing on the tongues gave my fingers one of the most insane rejection of what I wanted to do ever I was so used to timing up the tongues when I was trying to run through the 4 back to back tongues in case they were programmed to be a straight run through my fingers absolutely noped me from being so used to waiting on the timing and the fact the punishment for losing on that stage is severe since it’s the only stage without a save before it. That rejection of what I actually wanted to do gave me one of the most severe feelings of defeat in a video game to be honest. I cannot recommend this enough I hope the sound track gets sold on here as well it was super good.

This is definitely an A Tier Yai Game for those familiar with Yai Gameworks, it is very fitting that the genre for this game is Collectothon, the version of Collectothon this game is, is very unique. There is horror in this game but it really gets scary really far in, however because of a certain missing save point on the good ending it can quickly become a rage game. The surreal imagery in this game is also pretty A Tier compared to other Yai Games.

The Great Hide n Seek Expawdition

The Great Hide n Seek Expawdition

The Great Hide n Seek Expawdition is chill hide and seek game with roguelite elements and local coop for little and big kids. Find all the animal babies that went hiding away in the forest. Play as a raccoon dad or a rabbit mum, explore the environments, find hidden treasures and bring everybody home.

CHILL HIDE N SEEK

The game is a feel-good “find’em-all” game with very simple controls and pleasing atmosphere. It offers short level sessions that you can complete quite fast but you can also take the time to enjoy the views and find all hidden secrets.

PROCEDURAL GENERATION

All maps are procedurally generated to offer a new experience on each level. The lighting and atmospherics change too, ranging from clean sun rise to foggy nights or rainy afternoons.

UNLOCK NEW BIOMES AND CUTE ANIMALS

During your expawdition, you’ll find new animals and new environments to explore. Take the time to find them all: raccoons, foxes, badgers, and more to come! And maybe you’ll stumble across some legendary ones too, who knows?

FAMILY FRIENDLY COOP

You can easily play with your kids, nephews, cousins or younger friends, up to 4 players in local or remote thanks to Steam “Remote Play Together” option. The game offers classical but also more seldom Voronoi splitscreen modes. This will make you progress faster!

ABOUT THE DEVELOPER

Hi there! I’m Mathias and I’ve been creating video games since I was a child. I love coding, playing music and drawing. So what’s better than creating a video game to do all of this at the same time? I do everything alone because I love every part of it and I’m a curious guy who likes to know how it works! I hope you’ll like it :)

Foxen Island

Foxen Island

This is another game where I wish steam had something more than a yes or no rating. It’s kind of slow pace as far as finding things though that is not a bad thing over all. Is cute and has a bit to explore though the second section isn’t out yet as far as I can tell. Also if you like this game you may also enjoy Chinbu’s Adventure.

Biggest problem this game has is control. Camera follows fox but fox does not follow camera so turning is a bit jarring. Also the drift when stopping can take some getting use to. Also there is no look up or down which can make it hard to get a good perspective. Even when using the controller turning was very touchy and trying to back up with keyboard or controller really doesn’t work.

Hello, your local fox here! I decided to try this on my stream as the first game for my weekly iteration of Foxxy Fridays on Twitch. The first game I ever streamed was a game called Lost Ember, and this gave me those vibes, but to a far more simplistic extent. It’s a cute game to explore, and I think would be more captivating to a younger audience, than one well-versed with video games. However, I know the game is still in early access, so I am excited to see what more will be added to the final version. I finished the game (early access) in a little over an hour, and was able to obtain 10/11 achievements, however, I was not able to access “Photo mode” to get the last achievement, which was really frustrating, as you can imagine. One other thing that would be really cute to add, is the ability for the fox to sit in the throne chairs. Could just be a little animation where the fox jumps to the seat and sits proudly or something. But here was my experience with that: https://clips.twitch.tv/RepleteBlatantPeppermintSMOrc-bR2k1MGE0Hf0QRPr

Re: Award

Re: Award

Basically there is only one objective in this game you must complete using the basic power provided. The hallway corridor is small and short so if you reach the end it just resets you back to the beginning. This is where you will realize that the power is required to progress. By right-clicking you activate her magic powers and the goal is to find all the missing furniture and making it spawn back in its original place. After you place all 23 pieces of furniture down you exit through the corridor and the game is complete. The achievement will be unlocked and that is the end of the game. Probably spent less than five minutes to finish the game. Overall rating 5/10 based on length and difficulty. Cannot complain since it is a free game.

Cellular Harvest

Cellular Harvest

This is a terrific short form game. I made sure to get all the photos and play both versions. A good hour and a half of exploration and walking.

Real player with 1.5 hrs in game

Cellular Harvest is a short but sweet experience. It’s hard to describe much about it that you can’t see in the store page description without spoilers. It’s a dark, creepy take on the small Pokemon Snap genre!

Things to Know:

  • It’s pretty short, 30 minutes. Nothing wrong with a short game, but $7 feels a little steep for something this length with no replay value. (Maybe $3-$5)

  • The only difference between Green and Purple is one is day and one is night respectively. It’s just a lighting and color swap, nothing else changes.

Xoo: Xeno Xafari

Xoo: Xeno Xafari

Cute little collect em all

Xoo: Xeno Xafari is a game all about spotting and jotting down wacky and out of this world creatures. I recommend this game to anyone who loves to fully collect and complete everything from a game. A few cons would have to be the grind-like gameplay to find all the critters and collectables. It gets tedious towards the end of the game when you’re trying to find the last few Xenos so do look out for that. I enjoyed the emails you receive while staying on the island, its pretty neat to know someone cares about me while I’m embarked on a journey.

Real player with 17.4 hrs in game

Summary: With adorable visuals and incredibly hilarious writing, Xoo’s opening hours are a treat, but the game is really weighed down by extremely repetitive gameplay and chance mechanics that turn it from fun to tedious by the end.

6.5/10

Video Version of this review: https://youtu.be/Zig0wwiUgsI

Full review:

Xoo: Xeno Xafari is a fast-paced collect-a-thon set on a deserted island full of alien life with a gameplay loop and art style that harken back to the 16-bit era of gaming, and immediately when I loaded into the game I knew I was in for something special.

Island of the Lost

Island of the Lost

Best casual game I’ve seen this year. It’s more involved than the demo may make it appear, with booby traps, hard to find objects, etc. There are vast areas to explore and you really get the sense of being “lost” at times.

A hub is available which offers access to any level. Game controllers are supported but I wish you could redefine the keyboard/mouse controls. I also wish you could run a bit faster since the levels are so large.

The visual aesthetics, level design, and music are fantastic. A no-brainer for the low cost.

Real player with 22.0 hrs in game

A fun and relaxing item collecting game with beautifully crafted levels. The atmosphere is great, I love the art style, the music is nice and relaxing, the levels are fun to explore (You can even get outside the map somewhere in level 4 and explore where you’re not supposed to. I won’t tell you where though, can’t have the dev putting an invisible wall there. He’ll have to figure it out himself too if we wants to block it off) and figuring out the secrets in each level is fun as well.

All in all, a very nice game to just lean back in your chair and relax with.

My honestly review on Sumire

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509634794

You have one day, one life.

Sumire is a adventure game with colorful anime were you control a young girl who meet a mysterious flower who want to fulfill her most desired wish. To achieve the wish come true, she have to fulfill all task of other soul before night falls.

As I have play this game, I have a wonderful day to see some relaxing and colorful day of this game. I love the colorful art and music when you travel into the Japanese village or a rice field, as it feel relax and sometime is nice than adventure in the big city because sometime you (might) always travel on important cities and landmarks, but never see the countryside.

Story

Sumire tells the story of a little girl with a lot on her plate.

You will follow her journey, make lots of small and big decisions

and you will witness how these decisions impact the people around her and herself.

You can help those around her or focus on her goal alone.

Will you seek revenge or go the path of forgiving?

Will you be a helpful, kind-hearted spirit or isolate yourself and be self centered?

Will you be able to face the darkness inside you?

Gameplay

The controls are very simple and intuitive.

Shine Within

Shine Within

-Yes, this game is free, and no, i think it would have been better to keep this in an early access state.-

Some factors remind me of games like Undertale, some ‘jokes’ of Toby Fox’s style of writing in general.

Having said that, this game misses opportunities to build up irony where it seemingly wants to, which results in boring gameplay fairly quickly. Unfortunately i had a game breaking bug ontop, unable to get the last piece of a mandatory objective, hence i could not advance in the game and had to start over right at the beginning.

Real player with 1.7 hrs in game

For a free game, it isn’t bad. I can tell there was a strong inspiration from Undertale. There isn’t any combat here and the puzzles are all very mild. There is a story hidden here, but it is told in a vague enough fashion that I never really felt sucked into the world. Especially since the “memories” start coming quickly towards the end, breaking the flow of action time and time again.

That being said, I can see a lot of passion behind this game and it is definitely worth a try…especially for free!

Manalith

Manalith

Manalith has set clear goals on what it is trying to do, and it does it well. The game focuses on exploring beautiful scenery and finding hidden locations with collectables. A very chill 4.5 hours of wandering.

There are a lot of collectables that can start to feel grindy near the end, if you have randomly wandered around like I may have. That being said, I appreciated the process by which getting one collectable activated part of the environment to allow you to get to a new area. There is a sensory ability, that when upgraded allows you to find all items, but you still have to figure out how to get to them.

Real player with 4.7 hrs in game

This is a very relaxing game and a welcome change from the multiplayer stress of other games. Trippy visuals and inviting atmosphere are welcome as well.
