I've always liked playing these narrative experience type games. The main point in these is the story that the developer is trying to portray. Its not about the crazy gameplay or insane graphics. But an emotional experience that, in my opinion, leaves you feeling a little like your in game character in the end. I got a "Gone Home" vibe while playing this. Even though this game isn't nearly as big, it takes the stance of creating emotional connections with objects and telling the story behind them. Not only was the story quick and well written, but it nice voice acting to take you through the story. This story is all about the friendship that Skye and Olivia, and the voice actresses do a good job at expressing that friendship through their dialogue. All in all a nice little story with a short and well written story and I hope to possibly see more from this developer again. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a very good yet depressing game. The art style is unique and well done, the audio works well for the environment, and the writing is well done. When I first looked at this game I didn't know what to expect. The art style is crazy looking but after playing it, works so well for the environment of the world. For those wondering what this game is about, it may put some people off. The game puts you in the shoes of someone who has lost a loved one to suicide. But rather than you controlling the lost loved one. You play through the eyes of the other victim in this scenario. It's hard to think about who else may have been hurt in the event of something like this happening. But this type of scenario doesn't just effect the victim, but everyone around them as well. I enjoy playing these types of games in that the developer is passionate enough about this to the point that they create a unique and intense game to show their perspective. All in all a very intense and to the point story that gives you an alternate perspective in this particular tragedy. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested in seeing what this game has to offer.

This was a decent concept for an interesting new indie horror game. This  is a rough demo that simply sets up the premise for the story and makes you think about what may happen upon full release. Yes this is a rough demo where not a huge amount happens. But that doesn't mean it doesn't do the job in getting you interested in the story. I had a sort of "Event Horizon" vibe while playing but obviously with its own version. I look forward to seeing how this game progresses through its development and hope to see a full version released because I feel this game could have a lot of potential to be a good indie horror. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested in seeing what the game is about.

This was a really nice and short little pixelated adventure. I have always loved this simple yet creative art style in these types of games. Top that off with atmospheric music that fits the world so well, and you have a gem of a game. The game does a good job at presenting you with a short story that draws you in to find out more but keeps just enough from you to think on your own. I left the game wanting more and hoping there may be some kind of part 2 to answer the many questions I now have. All in all a surprisingly creepy little point and click adventure. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

Another cool and interesting walking adventure from Triass. I always love his simple yet weird and unique worlds. How he goes a black and white, walking on the moon adventure to. Exploring an abandoned colorful island with strange meteorites and abandoned structures. The art style is very colorful and pixelated, the music is calming and pleasant to explore too, and the open interpretation on the story is intriguing (at least to me). I still can't wait for the release of Dystopia but look forward to Triass's next project. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

A nice and simple little narrative experience. The story follows a young women trying to survive and cope with a dying world around her. The writing is decent and combined with the voice acting, makes the story come alive more. There isn't a lot here, your simply interacting with the world around you and remembering events from the past, but these memories and objects are simple and tell a small part with you to fill in the rest with your own interpretation. All in all a nice little experience with potential for more story and explanation. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a pretty cool and fun aerial combat simulation. The graphics are nice, the game sounds realistic, and the controls (after a little practice) are easy to understand. I have been a fan of air combat games since Ace Combat on the PS2. Obviously I will never be able to fly a jet such as this but playing games like this kind of help with that. This game does a great job at trying to truly simulate aerial combat and does a nice job at it for being a simple indie game. I will say, I do have some issues with the game but mainly because it doesn't seem fair that you don't have any flares. The enemy seems to have an infinite amount and yet you have none (unless I just couldn't find the button) which wouldn't be bad except you run out of ammo real quick. But aside from some balancing things this game is on track to be a really cool and intense simulation once its finished. I did a video on my experience with the early access test if anyone is interested.

Another cool and relaxing experience from Trias. The graphics are well done, the music is calming, and the simply walk about aspect is a nice and unique change. I have been a fan of Trias for a long time, he always manages to make something cool and unique. Much like Living with the Moonoliths, your simply left to explore the world in which you reside. Meanwhile the calming music and strange architecture around you consistently changes. All in all, another cool little experience and I look forward to the next one. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a really cool point and click adventure game. The art style is cool, the music is awesome, and the story was intriguing. I was really surprised by what this game had to offer. The story was not what I was expected in how it was played out, and ended up being much cooler than I thought. You play as one of two scientists that have discovered how to jump forward in time. But something happens which causes you to repeat what you have already done, learning more as you play. I really liked how the characters perceived their situation. All in all, a cool little point and click adventure and I look forward to more from this developer in the future. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

Another great addition to the Lonely Wolf Treat series. As always, the art style is cute and well done, the music is bright and happy, and the continuing story still pleases. I have been a fan of the series since the story began with Treat. Nami does a great job at expanding on all of the stories but allowing the player to experience it through new eyes each time. It helps to move the story ahead but also get a new perspective on the world and the actions around the player. Keeping it interesting and never stale. I can't wait for the next part and to see where the story will expand and what new characters we'll meet. I did a video on my experience with the latest chapter if anyone is interested.

This was an interesting little game. The graphics are dark and work well with the shadows and lighting. The atmosphere is quite and drives home the solidarity of space. The story is rather hard to follow as there isn't any kind of explanation of what or where you are. You simply walk about and explore the large scale area collecting secret balls. That being said there is a lot of walking around at a slow moon walk pace. I feel this game would and could be very cool if there was some kind of narration for when you discovered a secret. Or maybe even a "memory" when you retrieve a new secret revealing a bit more about the world and what happened. As it is now, you simply have to guess when it could be interesting. All in all a walk about sim for those that like space and want to see a good example of being a lone astronaut on the moon. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a pretty cool short little adventure. The graphics are all in a noire styling and well done, the sound design is creepy and atmospheric, and the story behind it is something everyone can relate too. I especially love the total isolation you feel in this game as you make your way through the world. You hear creepy noises that make you want to simply hide away from the unknown. I love this games concept and how everyone can relate to it in some way. Let's be honest, everyone has jumped or dreaded walking around in the dark. Not being able to see everything draws you to believe something could be there. Same goes for hearing creepy noises from somewhere, but not knowing where makes you speculate and worry. This game does a good job of that in a short experience and which makes it a fun little game. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.


So I was more so curious than anything and decided to check this out. Now I will say the art style is good, the music is nice, and the writing is very well done and descriptive. I know what this game is and who it's geared towards and I'll admit I'm not into this stuff. I mean I'm into some stuff on the internet but this just isn't my cup of tea. And that's okay, to each their own and what people like is up to them. Life is too short for people to tell you what you can and can't like. Hey as long as your not hurting yourself or others, do what you enjoy or makes you happy. And I like that the developers are doing just that and hey, the more power to them. I simply checked this game out to satisfy my curiosity. And I figured why not do a video on it showing off my experience and what this game involves. I did a video on my experience with the game (all explicit content is blurred out) if anyone is interested in seeing what this game is all about.

This is a really cool little pixelated adventure. The art style is nice, the music is calm and enjoyable, and the story is short and sweet. I love these kinds of atmospheric, pixelated, adventure games. But it's not often that one comes along that stands out, especially with a nice little story. I love how this game has a 'hidden message" in it's story. In this game, the character must make her way through the world but not knowing the true meaning of your journey. I don't know if there will be a continuation of this game but i would enjoy playing more of the story. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This was a weird and dark little RPG game. The atmosphere and styling is well done, the music is nice to listen too, and the enemies are all different and weird. I didn't know what to expect from this game but after playing it. I feel this is much more of a demo, than a full game. There isn't much to this one but it does seem to set up for a bigger game. I left the game simply asking why? and how that the game continues in another installment. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a pretty cool and interesting little game. The art style is simple and nice, and the mechanics and writing are well done. I have to say I didn't know what to expect from this game going in but I was rather impressed at its simple and interesting story. The story follows you as a government worker making sure citizens aren't plotting against the higher powers. But it's not as simply as "lets overthrow the higher power." The transmissions can be in code so there's a little riddle aspect to them which makes it kind of fun trying to decide. All in all, a short and simple little game. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.


This was a decent and creative little adventure game. The graphics were good, the music is atmospheric and nice to listen too, and the story was nice with a weird little twist. I have to say as a sort of "trial" game from the developer, this was a nice little story. Aside from a big bug taking playing in the Church that can cause you to not be able to progress. I honestly think there could be a little more story to this game and hope the developer will continue the story. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

This is a pretty cool and nice looking little RPG game. The styling and art is nice, the music is atmospheric and cool, and the story is rather intriguing. I rather enjoyed this little demo. I like the whole "Little Red Riding Hood" (at least in my opinion) theme that this game has. The story follows a young girl named Eliza who suddenly wakens in the forest. I kind of saw the ending coming, but rather liked how it ended. I really hope to see more from this game because I feel there's a lot of ways the developers could continue the story. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.

This is a cool and creative little adventure game. The graphics are simple yet pretty, the music is atmospheric and the story is short yet interesting. I like the simplified world in how its colors pop. The story follows a young man simply trying to live in his world. When suddenly it begins changing drastically. My only complaint with this game is it's abrupt ending. But it does it in a way that leaves it open to a sequel. I really hope to see more added to this game and it's story. All in all a short and sweet little adventure with an interesting little story and I look forward to seeing more. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.


This was a really cool and creepy horror game. The graphics are well done, the sound design is creepy, and the mechanics are all simple to understand. I really like the concept and atmosphere of this game. Although hardly any of the mechanics worked for me, its only a demo so, but I understood what I needed to do. I like the "Emily wants to Play" vibe this game has but with its own little twist. I think this could be a really terrifying experience once the full version is released. I Look forward to seeing what else the developer has in store for the player after this brief demo. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.


This was a totally goofy, wrong and fun little game. The graphics are decent, the controls are simple and the gameplay is frustratingly fun. I didn't really know what to expect from this game but found it fun to play. The game isn't perfect and the "failure barriers" are a little big. But I found myself saying "just one more try" while playing. The main goal is to get to the end without failing and after a few bumps, I managed to finish it. Not a super long game but a fun little "adventure" to say the least. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.


This is a very cool and fun to play little survival game. I love how it just simply drops you in with no explanation and it's your job to figure out what to do in order to survive. The graphics are pleasant to look at, the sound design is accurate and nice, and the mechanics all worked well together. I didn't know what to expect from this game but I rather enjoyed playing it. I'm not the best designer/builder but before I knew it, I had been playing the game almost an hour, and this is only a prototype. I think this game has real potential to be something special and fun to play. With a little more work and new features added, I think this game could be a fun coop adventure. Luckily there happens to be a vast amount of salvage floating directly towards you, and your in game character is a genius so you won't die too quickly. All in all a fun little game that could be something really cool once completed and I look forward to checking it out. I did a video on my experience with the prototype if anyone is interested.


This is a really cool and unique little adventure game. The graphics are all bright and pleasant to look at, the music is calming and works with the world, and the games story is interesting. I got major Horizon Zero Dawn vibes from this game when I read the summery for it. You play as one of the few people who are still able to wield technology known as a shaman. This group of people are idolized by the rest of the world and also look to the Shamans for protection. This game isn't very long but is rather fun to play and unfold the story. I would love to see this game worked on more and developed into a full story. There's a lot the developers could go with when it comes to adding more levels, enemies, fighting moves. I hope to see them add more and look forward to a, hopefully, full release. I did a video on my experience with the prototype if anyone is interested.

WHEN TECHNOLOGY BETRAYS THE WORLD | Afterward

This is a really cool and interesting little game. The graphics are nice to look at, the music is creepy and weird, and the games story is a nice little change from the normal "your all that's left." I really like how this game takes a common theme but adds it's own mystery behind it. You awaken not knowing what happened or why your the last person left. It's your job to determine whether humanity has finally destroyed itself. You aren't given any directions except simply explore to find your way through. Not only that but the game manages to combine nice peaceful/mournful feelings with a bit of horror and dread. I think with a little more work this game could be something really cool and unique that I look forward to playing upon release. I did a video on my experience with the prologue if anyone is interested.

HOW DID "WE" CAUSE THIS? | Lone Water Prologue

(4 edits)

This is a cool and unique little horror game. The graphics aren't bad, the sound design is creepy, and the mechanics and how you survive in the world all work off of each other. I love how this game combines elements from Alan Wake and even a little Contrast. In most horror games the light generally means safe haven from the terrors that haunt you. But this game flips that on it's head and you have to adapt to the darkness for safety. For a demo this was pretty decent, a few textures missing here and there but everything worked with hardly any issues. I would love to see this game expand into a much larger world with new areas and such. I think this could be a really cool game with some more fine tuning and work. All in all a nice little game and I look forward to seeing what the final release looks like. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.

STAY OUT OF THE.......LIGHT? | Lost Shadows [Demo]

This is a really cool and unique little hunting game. The graphics are well done, the sound design is spot on, and the games mechanics are all creative and fun. I have played a few animal inspired games in the past. But never as a predator, let alone in first person. All of the running and maneuvering really makes you feel like your in control of a killing machine. Yeah there are a few missing animations and not a huge area to explore. But this is only a demo, and a well polished one at that. The game looks beautiful and reminded me a lot of being on the planet from Avatar. The vibrant colors and unique wildlife feel familiar and different. All in all a nice little unique adventure game and I look forward to seeing what the final version will look like. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.


This is a very cool and well made horror game. The graphics are beautiful to look at, the music is creepy and atmospheric, and the story is compelling. I 100% agree with the developers in saying that games need to have a good story, especially when it comes to horror games. I want to have a reason and cause for my reason to not advance. I want to feel the dread of whats hunting me and how it could pop up and scare the crap out of me any minute. Aside from the great atmosphere, the voice acting is rather decent and makes the in game character seem more human in their struggle. All in all, a nice up and coming indie horror game with a lot of potential and I can't wait to see the final version. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

A HAUNTING PAST? | Dead Loop [Demo]

I am so glad the developers finally released an English version to this games demo. I remember when this game first appeared on Itch and I was instantly drawn to its pleasant graphics and interesting story. The developers actually remembered me and sent me a message about the English release a couple weeks ago and I was finally able to play it the other day. This game has a really unique and interesting mechanic in how your character interacts with the world and its inhabitants. The games bright colors and strange Dr.Seuss styled creatures make this game something new to play. I had fun playing the lengthy demo and look forward to what the final release has in store for the player. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.

AM I THE BAD GUY? | Oneiros [Demo]

This was a pretty cool little adventure/exploration game. The graphics are pleasant and bright, the music is perfect for the environment, and the story is rather intriguing. I didn't really know what to expect from this game when I initially started it up. I expected to be the one going around and collecting food and water and having to prepare shelter. But it turns out you seem to be a guest on the island reliving the past memories of two shipwrecked inhabitants. I love the calming music and pleasant art style. The only thing with the game was the constant walking back and forth across the island to find the next diary entry. But the possibility of a sequel really has me curious where the story may go. All in all a nice little adventure game and I look forward to the possible sequel. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

WHAT MAGIC CALLS YOU HERE? | Monaxia

This was a pretty cool and unique little indie horror game. The graphics are decent, the music and sound design is creepy, and the games mechanics worked well. I really liked the "seeing the monster through the mirror" approach the game has. Not knowing where the monster is adds a lot of tension when you hear him start coming for you. The game itself isn't very long and I don't know if I was able to figure out what the story was depicting but I really liked what this game had to offer. I would love to see more from this developer in the ways of the "mirror" aspect in the future. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

LET ME SEE WHO YOU REALLY ARE!| Mirror

This is a pretty cool and weird point and click adventure game. The art style is perfect for the bleak world, and the story is told in the form of still images like comic strips. I have to say this game is more than just a simple story about a world with no color. I at least took a small underline message that could be translated to everyday life. The fact that the world may look bleak and gray. Doesn't mean there isn't color out there to find. You just simply have to look for it, and when you do. It can really change your world. Again that's just me but I rather like that outlook. All in a, a unique little game and I look forward to maybe more from this developer in the future. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

REVIVING A COLORLESS WORLD | Turgor Quest

This is a pretty cool and simply little horror/adventure game. The graphics are done in a cool old time pop up book style, the mechanics and how you interact with the house is cool, and the small challenges are creative and easy to do. I don't know if this game reflects a story that Edger Allen Poe wrote, but I have to say I was impressed how this game created a unique little horror game. The games art style is definitely the most unique and interesting thing about this game. And how Poe moves throughout the game is rather charming to the games intended styling. All in all, a nice little short game. I did a video on my experience with the game if anyone is interested.

FINDING THE WAY IN THE DARK | Poe-go

This is a really cool and unique top down shooter. The comic art style is cool, the sound design and voice acting is funny, and the story is a nice take on the zombie apocalypse. I love the 80's themed comic art style this game has. Almost like a mix between the graphics of Borderlands and a strange anime style with the long bodies and odd shapes. I don't exactly know where the demo picks up in the story but I rather enjoyed the little bit your presented with. For only a Pre-Alpha this was well done and played good and I can't wait to see how the story and world develop. I did a video on my experience with the demo if anyone is interested.

COME AT ME ZOMBRAIN | Jazon and the Dead [Pre-Alpha Demo]

Of course guys. Same goes to the both of you. Keep making games! Glad you enjoyed the video. ^-^

This was a really cool and interesting little horror game. The pixelated art style is nice, the music is perfect for the world, and the story is well written. I didn't really know what to expect from this game before I went in but I was impressed at what this game had. The way this game twists as you progress through it is really cool. The game follows Raven as she simply tries to live her nights out by playing a PC game. But little does she know she's in her own little game that continues to change both her and the world as you progress through. I really liked how this game presented its story, combined with a great art style and this is a great little game. I hope to see more from this developer in the future and look forward to what they come up with next. I did a video on my experience with File if anyone is interested.

CTRL ALT DIE| File

This is an interesting little horror game. The graphics aren't bad, the music is creepy and the story is common and interesting. I have been drawn to metro themed games for awhile but there aren't a lot of horror themed ones. I have to say even though the game is at such an early build, I'm still looking forward to how this game will come out. As the game is there isn't a whole lot to it yet but it still managed to give me a little scare, especially needed on Halloween. I did a video on my experience with the early demo if anyone is interested.
