Yolk Heroes is an idle game. Not the usual type, though. Didn’t really like how progression felt. Just buy a lot op hp restoring items, grind a bit, and you’re golden. Felt a bit boring sometimes, but kept me invested enough to complete it.
Backspace Bouken - that was a fun one, even though being the perfectionist I am, it was somewhat frustrating at times I think I’ll return to it and complete it some day.
Bear With Me - indie point’n’click that’s rough around some of its edges, but it was fine for what it is. Sucks that I didn’t buy the complete version together with Lost Robots, since it’s tied to all the other achievements I’ve already got in this version, and my OCD won’t let me just play the LR. Guess I’m not playing it at all.
Really enjoyed Look Outside. Just the concept of a closed-off space with your cozy flat as your base and so many other things clicked for me.
Necrosmith is a weird RTS (I guess?), where you build your units out of different body parts. They’re moving automatically unless you give them orders, but the orders SUCK ASS. The only useful strategy there is is to leave a few stronger units right on the base with “Defend” (or whatever it’s called in English localization) and take direct control of another powerful (also prefferably fast) unit to actually get some shit done. As far as I’ve seen, the second game improves ordering your units around a lot.
Black Souls turning up on Steam was a weird and pleasant surprise. Can’t wait for the second one.
Fishing Vacation - horror game with GameBoy aesthetics. Not really that scary.
I Live Under Your House - very rough around the edges horror game. Much of the art presented is clearly AI-generated. Liked the DLC more.
I’ll Do It Tomorrow - felt like a student project all the way throughout, and turned out to be such. It’s fine.
Bad End Theater was pretty interesting in concept, but - hot take here - downright silly writing of everything starting with true ending really put me off. Nice art though.
