It does what it says on the box, every level is a diorama where 10 cats are hidden and you need to find them, solving a gazillion very easy minigames in the process. A fun little time waster, but don't expect anything more. I give it three out of four cats.

It's a solid quality find the hidden thang game with two-color aesthetic and even a story (sort of). It's 25 levels, but some levels are very smol (others are yuge tbf). Zero replayability, but a very fun time waster. Things make noises, open, slide, and get eaten as you click them, some characters are moving around, it's all good fun.

I give it three out of four hidden aliens.

Sadly, Steam will not allow a refund, even when a developer goes rogue and starts removing the content you paid for :(

A cautionary tale. But of course, 99% of developers are legit, it's just this one.

It's pretty short, very sweet, the art is great and there are cats.

More a visual novel than a game, though, the gameplay is its weak part.

All in all, I give it two paint tubes out of four.

Hands down the best Big Bang themed interactive fiction with Noir atmosphere you're gonna play in your entire life. The scale is cosmic, the style is minimalistic, and the chase is on. Hunt for answers, or maybe just more questions, about the universe's beginning and end and everything in the middle.

For delivering on an unasked promise in an unexpected way, I give this game a perfect four out of four spirals.

What is this Chicken a la Noir, you ask? Well, this is a well made detective themed game about a cop who comes back from retirement to investigate one last case. Animal shenanigans aside, it's very atmospheric and has relatable characters, plus pretty deep and believable worldbuilding. The story itself is actually not the strongest, and the detective gameplay is vestigial at best, it's basically a visual novel. That said, a very solid experience worth checking out.

I give it three out of four car chases.

Welcome to Whose Childe Is It Anyway? where the ending is made up, and the choices don't matter!

It's not as good as the Psychonauts 1 you remember, but it is as good as Psychonauts 1 if you replayed it today.

This is a nice true puzzle game where you play as a monster that lives in the walls and must kill all the archaeologists who invaded its temple. It's not too long and not too tricky, at least not by DROD standards, but if you're looking for coffee break puzzle solving, this might be just what the doctor ordered.

I enjoyed it and I give it three out of four boulders.

This is a very satisfying Castlevania like grandma used to bake, the graphics are beautiful, the music is haunting, the castle is huge with distinct looking areas, and many different enemies to beat while chasing the elusive plot.

My only complains are, in the first area there is a mechanic where you use a fire based skill to light a fuse, and it's never really used again for anything, there could be more interactions that are element based, and not just the "point your hand" interactive objects. And also, there is an overwhelming variety of weapons but you will not use 90% of them for anything at all, so it also feels like a miss a bit.

All in all, this is a great game, and you should buy/play it right now!
I give it three out of four shards.
