Beyond The Thaw
You are Max Gilbert, a former military doctor. While taking a trip to your usual place of stay, which is a nice cabin near the lake, the next moment you find yourself alone in the middle of nowhere, fighting fierce cold and facing series of trials. What is it: reality or mind games, behind which lies your truly hidden deep secret?
Beyond The Thaw is storytelling and a slightly walking simulator with elements of stealth, horror, and adventure. We squeeze cinematography out of the Unreal Engine and work hard to create beautiful and cohesive gameplay scenes. Every detail should be meaningful, storytelling is more important than beautiful style.
As the player progresses, it is necessary to make quick decisions that require interaction with the game through the QTE (quick time event) — to run, hide from opponents (creatures and people), solve puzzles, plunging deeper into the game’s history, and conflict.
We have provided additional activities — fishing, chopping wood, riding a snowmobile, searching for herbs, so that you can just catch your breath and enjoy the process, but at the same time, each of these activities will work to reveal the plot.
You will meet both negative characters and positive ones. But at first glance, you never know who is in front of you. You always need to be on the lookout and face danger.
There will be a lot of collectibles in the game, it won’t be easy to find them, but once you find them, you can learn more about the game world.
Key features:
-
Frightening cold atmosphere
-
You are prey
-
Cinematic experience
-
Mystical story
-
Remember, in order to survive — you need to LISTEN

Observer: System Redux
Observer Systemn Redux (2020) is a refurbished version of Observer (2017) both developed by a polish development company named Bloober https://www.blooberteam.com/about-us . This walking horror simulator is based during a cyberpunk era, 2084, when a deadly disease known as ‘Nanophage’ has already become rampant in the past and manifested itself among the slum C district of Krakow Poland. Due to a nuclear holocaust from both east and west, a mega corporation known as Chiron was able to usurp control by segregating the nation from the rest of the world (the great wall) and forming the 5th Polish Republic, further divided into three classes. A-district upper class, B-District working class and C District – slums.

More reviews on our Curator Page
Anyone that has been into gaming for the past few years clearly knows Observer. As a fantastic dystopian thrilling adventure, the game left us all impressed by its story and aesthetics. There was however, a lot which was left behind, and in that regard Observer: System Redux fulfills every aspect, including in the technical department.
But let’s not get ourselves in the optimization just yet, because first I want to assure everyone that no story-related detail was altered or manipulated. System Redux remasters what was already present. This is obviously good, as the story itself was already top-tier, revealing a world where augmented electronics embed in the human body created an easier but also tougher verdict for citizens.

This is a good game. It can be further developed and if it is successful, I can guarantee you people that this game will skyrocket itself. The highlight of this game is the music. the music really give that atmospheric horror. Although the graphic is not that good, I hope they can further developed this game. I have the full walkthrough, it is just 15 minutes long so enjoy.

Not bad, not good, not scary but somehow enjoyable. A fun little indie-horror game, it is not as short as other reviews make it out to be.

Bonhomme 7 Heures
Before I played this I had a small penis, no girlfriend and no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good

I reckon it was alright. Disregarding some bugs that made it irritating to play, the puzzles were pretty cool. There was a big bug where if you enter the clock animation as the kid as the monster spawns, the kid will go throughout the rest of the game without any interaction with it. With a few bug improvements and a little more content i think the game could become something good.

In this game, I liked that there is an open world as well as an interesting story.
A lot of sadness in the game is added at home - panels, which are all the same type and make you think about a lot …

A game that brings up burning topics. It is both soulful and sad, atmospheric. It’s cool that there are in-game achievements. I would also like to point out a minus: the game has problems with optimization. My computer can barely handle it.

Public Enemy: Revolution Simulator
I love the message that the game poses. but the gameplay is garbage. after getting to the second stage IN THE FIRST LEVEL! more guards move around and when all three types of guards mix, its impossible. when you try to get the attention of a stationary guard, a moving guard comes out of nowhere and notices it, rendering it useless, ALSO! when you start a piece, you cant finish it. i could go on and on about gameplay problems, but i don’t want this to be too lengthy. if your the type of guy to go select “HARD MODE” on the first run of a game, that’s cool, but for me, i don’t like it.
– Real player with 1.7 hrs in game
It’s free, it’s short and simple, a lot could be added but for a free game i’m guessing they just made it in the hopes that people would look what other games the devs of this made so that those games can get more people playing them. Really you can only play it about twice or three times until you win, but it’s fun for a free game, not too long, might as well try it out.
