I did not complete too much this month. Admittedly, I am kind of hooked on incremental games at the moment and those are often very long-term kind of projects. Anyway, onto the games:

Arali: Super short, super basic game, in which you fight against monsters utilizing 2 different fighting moves to free some tree spirits or something(?). It’s free and it works, so I can’t really complain, but I also would not call it interesting.
The Inheritance of Crimson Manor: Mystery puzzle game! I liked that it was basically puzzle after puzzle and the story was told via letters you find across the house. Puzzles were more on the easy side, I would say, but not so easy they were boring. The hardest part for me was to remember which room contained which puzzle, clue or chest and so on, especially later in the game when you open up more and more rooms.
101 Cats Hidden in Dubai: Standard cat HOG, slightly below average for this kind of game, I’d say.
Idle Research: Technically, I “completed” this 1.5 years ago, but the dev just removed an impossible achievement, so now it’s officially completed, yay! If you like incrementals, I recommend to check this one out. It’s not too long (by incremental standards) and I found it to have a nice flow of unfolding mechanics and no major road blocks.

That’s it from me, hope you’re having a nice July wherever you are :)
