It's genuinely kind of hard to imagine a game that's more endearing.

A fantastic upgrade to an incredibly nostalgic genre, with a suprising amount of twists and unique humor to keep you invested

I absolutely adore this game's setting. The overall tone and storytelling is unique and well executed, and ultimately makes the game's minor glitches and intentionally tedious pace worth it.

Although not mechanically complex by any means, Hidden Lands provides a wonderful amount of content with a thoughtful presentation.

Really straight forward, but also adorable and thoughtfully executed

The UI and hint system is a bit clunky at times, but overall a great value that makes some of the most intimidating puzzles approachable.

An adorable battle-royale game that's very approachable. Some of the minigames definitely need some balance tweaking, but overall it's a very lovable experience.

As someone who doesn't typically have the patience for visual novels I really enjoyed If Found. I absolutely love the visual style and animation, and found the erasing to be a really clever mechanic that kept me engaged throughout. The story is obviously very personal, but I was disappointed with how unemotional the storytelling was in parts, with the protagonist often recalling the events very linearly objectively with little commentary. Overall I found the story to be serviceable if somewhat uneventful, and thought the visuals did a great job of conveying a lot of emotion and personality. This seems like a great purchase for those interested in queer representation or unconventional storytelling methods, although I might consider getting it while it's on sale given it's only about two hours of gameplay.

A very short, very abstract little puzzle game. I love the overall aesthetic, and the vagueness of the story was very intriguing. There are ideas of free will, climate change, and mechanization throughout, but the main meat of the game is the exploration through various levels. Most of the puzzles can be solved pretty easily, but moving through the graffiti-filled rooms and experiencing the unique atmosphere of the game was something I really enjoyed. The game essentially functions as a more contemporary Kairo, with clear progression and goals throughout. I would recommend it if you're looking for a unique experience to kill a couple hours.

A lovely little gardening game that's nice to return back to for a couple minutes every few days.
