SIMULACRA - Review
After the success of Sara Is Missing, it was obvious Kaigan Games would continue in the same vein of development. Truth is, before Sara is Missing, there was Finding Home, an indie game also simulating a smartphone experience. Seems the studio's entire direction is surrounded by this peculiar genre, one that connects players into a stylized voyeur adventure never seen before. In SIMULACRA players gain access to a smartphone belonging to a young woman named Anna. She’s just li


Submersed - Review
Developed by Main Loop Videogames, Submersed has received a few different accolades, including winning an award for Best Basque Game at the Fun&Serious Game Festival, and it was a nominee for Best Debut Game by GameLab. Directed by Jose Antonio Muñoz, which is also the sole programmer and lead designer, this is one of those titles where we have to recognize the efforts, but also come to realize its flaws. A strong point of Submersed is the story, setting up players in the sho

Sacrament of the Zodiac: The Confused Sheep and The Tamed Wolf - Review
Sacrament of the Zodiac: The Confused Sheep and The Tamed Wolf is the first of Kuro Irodoru Yomiji's visual novels that are translated to English and published by Denpasoft. This kinetic novel is a nukige that includes adult yuri content. The game features two schoolgirls, Arissa Mokose and Hitsuji Suou in a cloistered religious school setting. Hitsuji was recently transferred to Arissa's school, Saint Leanne Academy. While heading to her baptism at the school's cathedral, Hi


∀kashicforce - Review
∀kashicforce is a doujin (indie) action, puzzle and strategy fighting game by Endless Shirafu and Fruitbat Factory. The gameplay consists of shooting at coloured orbs, raising shields, and using a variety of different special moves called commands to destroy large numbers of blocks to build up combos, or to send a variety of orbs into an opponent's area that pile up stacking to the top to defeat the opponent. The story is a bit hard to follow as it uses a lot of terms that do


Sky Racket - Review
Developed by the Brazilian studio Double Dash Studios, Sky Racket is a fun and highly entertaining mix of bullet-hell genre along with retro Tennis. That’s right, and the genre works flawless! According to developers, it’s the first Shmup Breaker, mixing shoot ’em up and block breaker. Although categories and genres don’t defy how good a game is, I personally think Sky Racket is as amazing in paper as in the final presentation. The concept is simple: play as the RacketBoy or

Leaflet Love Story
Released in 2018, Leaflet Love Story gathered quite a positive reception among Chinese players on Steam, and retains its status with a Very Positive rank. Originally launched exclusively in Chinese, the Western market can now finally enjoy this romantic journey with the official English translation, by the Steam Group and Curator “VN is Life”. Mind though, this is not a simple fan-translation, as it was translated from the ground up, by an experienced community member: Woosk,


Embrace of Ocean: Story of Hope - Review
Originally released in 2017, Embrace of Ocean: Story of Hope is the hard work of a small European studio, Aves Games, that finally launches on Steam. Over a hundred years in the future, with planet Earth overrun by water, humanity prospered beyond today’s possibilities, surviving in space and underwater cities. Although the main knowledge assumes a massive asteroid collided with Earth, some recent discoveries point towards a different reality. We play as Blue Hope, a young wo


Railroad Corporation - Review
Published by Iceberg Interactive, (who brought us fantastic titles such as Tech Support: Error Unknown and Pax Nova) Railroad Corporation is the very first game developed by Corbie Games, released in late May of 2019, and so far retaining a Mixed feedback. Railroad Corporation is a base mix of strategy and management that aims to simulate the golden era of railways, across 19th century North America. It is above everything else an Early Access title, and developers do warn ev

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey - Review
Developed in cooperation between Salix Games and Tea Clipper Games, Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey is a crime mystery Point & Click game with great emphasis on storyline and narrative. The background? A unique mix between fantasy and horror, right under Jack the Ripper’s wave of murders in 1888. Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey is not just a game, as I personally see it as real proof of love and dedication for art, that kept going, even when things seemed unprosperous. Their Kick


The Little Acre - Review
Developed by Pewter Games, the Irish studio is simply composed by two developers, but their work of love for Point & Click adventures sure reflects on The Little Acre, a short but adorable adventure. Life at this little acre is never dull. Aidan tries his best to raise his young daughter Lily. His father (Lily’s grandfather), is always busy with some new invention, and even the family dog Douglas is always busy making sure Lily doesn’t do anything dangerous! As interesting as


Hollow Knight - Review
Developed by a small group of people, the project that started as a Stencyl game, quickly gathered support on Kickstarter and moved to Unity, with a final launch price of 14.99. A game that can deliver at least 50 hours of gameplay for such a price, is clearly a fantastic deal, but even with such a friendly price tag, Hollow Knight may not be enjoyed by all, due to the difficulty, ambiguity, and relentless 2D action. We play as the Knight, a bug-like creature, in a kingdom lo


Eternal Journey: New Atlantis - Review
Released in 2012 and developed by Five BN, which have a large catalogue of Hidden Object Games, the team is certainly experts at creating great games, and Eternal Journey: New Atlantis is another proof of such, releasing a great title with amazing features, even for its time. We play as an archeologist, who works on one of the most relevant discovery in ages, Atlantis itself. Found near the Madeira island, Atlantis holds many secrets, and humanity advanced significantly in or


Mysteries of Neverville: The Runestone of Light - Review
Originally released during the summer of 2014, Mysteries of Neverville: The Runestone of Light was developed by Urchin Games, and released on Steam in late 2018 by HH-Games. It has just been a difference of four years, and we can always appreciate new and exciting adventures! Valerie travels peacefully towards her home, Neverville, when her carriage suddenly crashes while avoiding a road obstacle. Her friend Roland quickly appears in the scene, warning her that the whole town

Greed 3: Old Enemies Returning - Review
The final chapter of the Greed series is finally here, the conclusion that first started with Greed: The Mad Scientist, and even had a spin off entitled Greed 2: Forbidden Experiments. Originally released in early 2018, this third game ends the series, and goes out with a positive outcome. After the events of the first game, detective Amy Turner gains considerable reputation, even from the mayor that promises to rebuild Pontoon Laboratories, in honor of Dr. Goodwin for his ef
