The Space Between
I am not fond of games that have me blundering around in the dark. This causes nausea because you are visually disoriented. Also, the ending was just… nothing? OK you are done now, here are 2 chairs? Sorry but this was just not great. :(

I have a soft spot for psychological games with a retro aesthetic, the weirder they are, the more I enjoy them. You can complete the game in 40 minutes which is admittedly short considering the slow text, but in the end, I care more about my overall impression of the narrative. Without spoiling anything, you can tell from the trailer that the game focuses on intimacy issues, paranoia, and anxiety - which it does pretty well. While I enjoyed the story and the psychedelic visuals, the actual dialogue could use some polish; with the game like this I think you could avoid saying too much, and it will still have the same effect. I wish the text would not lock you into the conversation the entire time, you could just let the player walk around and read, not to mention that the camera tends to lock in the wrong place anyway. It’s not a horror game aside from one little jump scare, it’s more about the atmosphere and creating that isolation through an unsettling environment. I am not always a fan of dark shading and tiny rooms, but within the context of the narrative that tries to convey that feeling of being alone, I think the claustrophobic locations work very well.

The game technically: As the anthropologist and spiritualist Carlos Castaneda said in one of his brilliant passages, “(…) the aim is to balance the terror of being alive with the wonder of being alive”. Mixing the exploration of the sensorial and the experimental, Schastye, aims at the balance between the terror of spiritual/existencial awareness with the wonder of spiritual/existencial awareness, using a pixelated and dithering aesthetic, something like a revival or “lost game” from the PSX era or early 2000s PC games. In Schastye you wake up in a small bedroom, with few elements beyond of a radio, a burning incense and an old computer with Word 97 opened. The only substantial progress action you can take is to sit in front of the computer and randomly press keys on keyboard to see the story being written automatically… Yes, all you can do is read an interactive story on a computer screen, a metalinguistic gameplay where the sounds around you alternate between children playing in the street, raindrops and noise from neighbors. During the reading we come across with quotes from Chapayev and Void by Victor Pelevin, Necronomicon by H. P. Lovecraft and the ambience of a journey through the studies of Marcel Griaule. Writing and narrative are close to the Lovecraftian epistle style with Carlos Castaneda’s oneirism, and his pioneering spiritualism full of hallucinogenic teas/drugs.

The Frosts: First Ones
I want to like this game a lot. The story is interesting, it takes an hour or two to complete, the music is lovely and the game is so pretty that this alone makes the experience worth a couple of euros - especially if one likes to support indie game makers.
However, the English translation is so bad that there were times I couldn’t understand what the main character was trying to say. When I got to the end of the game, a text box was bugging out of screen so I missed some parts of the story.
The game is basically a short interactive story with a couple of rudimentary puzzles. The logic of the puzzles was pretty fuzzy, but I managed to get through them by clicking blindly. There isn’t much to do in the game and no way to influence the story. Movement is clunky at best.

Explore a scenic land of ever-winter looking for your missing friend in this interactive narrative.
I love the attention to nature in this game. As you hike though the beautiful and mysterious landscapes, animals will jump out and fly away. There were also descriptions for some of the plant life. It was cool.
The game play has a chill exploration vibe with a few events, challenges, and puzzles along the way. I struggled to know where to go at times, but eventually found my way. The environment was pretty to look at, so I didn’t mind having to really explore to find my way.

Apart from Kiralika and the main character, the character designs in TS FANTASY is targeted for my male Twitch channel viewers who has been a big support to me. To thank my viewers, I opened a character design event.
In addition, ‘TS’ means ‘Tsu’ which indicates Twitch viewers in Korean. ‘TS’ also means ‘Trans Sexual’, as male viewers can experience gaming as a female character. Since this game was inspired by FF FANTASY, we decided to name this game ‘TS FANTASY’.
The OST from TS FANTASY is created by Hanarin. With your help, we hope to create more music to further improve our game. With music, you would be able to imagine and recall TS FANTASY whenever you hear our OST. We will add some of the music here, so please go and check our music.

By utilizing Live2d technology, female main characters can use the Dialogue function with facial expressions and motions. Characters can vividly communicate with players as they move on screen. If you become friends with other characters, you can borrow their special abilities and gain help solving the mystery.
When chatting people or female characters, it is important to observe their behavior and make the correct choices.

Home: A Quarantine Story
A realistic narrative that builds a unique yet somehow familiar setting, Home: A Quarantine Story will softly resonate with anyone who can’t decide if their heart is with the home they’ve made for themselves or the home they grew up in. I’ll admit it doesn’t look like games I’m normally drawn to, but it’d be a mistake to judge this visual novel by its graphics. Home: A Quarantine Story is, may I remind you, free, so there’s really no reason not to pick it up.

A relatively short story about how family and the concept of “home” can be as poisonous as it is comforting. Detailed descriptions of items throughout the house breathed more life into the characters and character relationships, and the relationship between the main character and her mother in particular was quietly unsettling from start to finish—especially because it leaned into believable emotional manipulation tactics.

To My Best Friend
Just as the description says, this is a short narrative about two friends and their memories together. It is a full-on walking simulator with no stress. Beautiful music! I think the graphics are beautiful, although there are a few floating trees, and basically low-budget looking areas.
All in all, it’s a good, bittersweet short story with colorful and creative areas to walk through. I recommend it.

DVOREC
So you’ve read the description and now you’re down in the comments looking for answers. Check out my video on the game to see the gameplay and get a feel for if this game is for you.
Warning I played this game in English, playing the game in it’s original language (Russian) may yield a different opinion.
I am not sure what DVOREC means or stands for, but I can tell you what I got from it. Loading up the game to the title screen makes it look like some sort of Russian Soap opera, then the images change to police and swat teams arresting people and marching in the street. So there’s that, also the English localization of the game is really bad so you’ll have to read and reread sentences to understand what is trying to be conveyed. Plus there are plenty of words that didn’t get translated so I had no clue what’s being said or where I need to go. The game crashed on me several times, I was fortunate it only crashed once during the recording of my video. It’s a typical RPG game with random battle fights, narrative driven missions and tongue in cheek dialogue. If know Russian or really love Russian culture; then this is the game for you. At a price point of $1(US), you can try the game out for yourself but I cannot recommend it as there are better options for that money.

Fragments of Him
Review Fragments of Him by InckKk
Introduction
Fragments of Him is an interactive narrative experience developed and published by Sassybot, released 3th of May 2016.
The game is about the memories of the people who were a big influence in Will’s life or knew him.
You aren’t a character into the game, but you are a kind of a “viewer” who is able to click on several objects to experience the fragments. It was different compared to Dear Esther or similar games, because you are more active within the story then “walking” the story.

I want to thank the developer for giving me a key to experience this story and game and to share it on my channel.
I played this game for a livestream on my Youtube channel. If you understand watching my play will be a HUGE SPOILER for you, you can search it up under my same name on Youtube, Zaxtor99. It came in at just about 2.5 hours with my playthough of it and I added plenty of commentary and what I thought as the story developed.
There isn’t a lot of other games exactly like this one, and I did enjoy it as it really did a good job of developing the main characters and showing different points of view. The voice acting is really well done, the graphics are nice, and the music masterfully fits the moods in the story of the game.

Get Rich or Die Gaming
I got this game in a bundle before, so I was not as irritated as some people who paid full price.
It has a number of bugs in it - one causes the game to crash. It is pretty short (under 10 minutes), art is okay, the whole thing is kind of something you would have seen on Newgrounds before.
The best part of the game was the business dude conversations which ended up making me laugh.
I don’t recommend buying it, instead just go watch the 5 min let’s play of it.
