What a lovely breath of fresh air this was! As a person who has played a lot of hidden cat games due to the Catizens curator (and cuz I like em), some of these games get really stale really fast, but not this one! Cats Hidden Timeline was a blast to play through, because of the interesting mechanic of manipulating time to find some of the cats.

The different levels were absolutely fantastic and lovely, there were so many little details around that were fun to look at. The cats were not too hidden, but hidden enough to make you actually search for them without just finding them outright, of course some were more easier to spot than others.

Definitely would love to play another game like this, maybe with an asian theme for the environments, or medieval? I loved every second of it! Can't wait to see more from this dev! I absolutely recommend any fans of cat games or hidden object games to test this one out!

Hidden Cats Invade Venice is a 3D hidden cats game where you move your camera around to see the environments in different angles to catch all the sneaky little kittens. There is also penguins for some reason. The main levels have 100 cats per level and each has one hidden penguin. The bonus tower levels start small and get bigger, those don't have any penguins in them. There is also one bonus level with just penguins and there is 100 penguins in there. The penguins were probably the most hardest part of this game.

I really liked the way the game was made, though there were a lot of points where the devs could have improved upon. All that said though, a very good entry in the hidden cats genre and definitely worth playing if you enjoy these types of games.

MonoNeko is a simple rhythm game with a dark, yet intriguing, artstyle and story. I am personally not that great at rhythm games, so the game was a tad bit difficult for me, but I still very much enjoyed it. The artstyle is really amazing, but the game has some dark themes, mainly dead cats, which might be upsetting to some gamers. The artstyle is quite gorey in that regard.

The soundtrack is really fun and it was pretty clear to me what the rhythm was supposed to be, it fit pretty well with the gameplay. The character and boss design is super cool and I really enjoyed the artstyle!

I would definitely recommend this game to fans of rhythm games. It's rather cheap, though it is still in early access. There hasn't been much updates so far from what I can tell, but I hope the dev is still working on this game! Some people have had issues with crashing.

This game is a very simple frogger like game where you start out as a frog that seems to be a piggy bank and you try to get over paths with rolling spike wheels, fireballs, arrows and rivers with moving logs and water lily petals and other obstacles. You can unlock different animals such as dogs, ducks, goats, and even pigs. Each animal possesses unique characteristics and abilities.

The gameplay was alright though there was a couple of annoying bugs that I encountered that made me restart my runs. I also randomly lost a live at one point, even though the creeping fog behind the character was not even close. The game was otherwise alright, though some of the artwork looked a bit out of place.

This is again one of those games where I wish there was a neutral review option, as I don't think this game is really worth your time, but it can be harmless bit of fun if you really want to enjoy it. I played the game with all the different animals, if that matters at all. I wouldn't spend money on this game, but if you want to, go ahead.

Very fun looking free to play hidden cats game. The gameplay took only 10 minutes to complete and nowadays if the game takes less than half an hour, I wouldn't recommend it to any veterans of hidden cat/object games. However if you are just looking for a quick little fun thing to use a couple of minutes on, then its definitely worth it.

Very fun looking cheap hidden cats game. Similar to their other games, but the gameplay took around 20 mins to complete which was a tad longer than the previous I played. It's not a game that I would recommend for those who are really good at these types of games since it takes such little effort to complete, but I guess it was fun for the while it lasted.

Another hidden cats game from the same developer, this time not free, but still very cheap. This time it took me around 10 minutes to complete, so again, not really a good choice for those who are pros at these type of games, BUT it's still a good bit of fun. I really enjoyed this setting the most from the three games I played.

I played this game for Pay or Play 1st Cycle of 2025 and it was picked for me by Escollo.

GRIS is an extraordinary experience that will stay with you long after the credits roll. As the story unfolds, you follow Gris, a young girl navigating through a world filled with sorrow and loss, but what makes this game truly unique is how it portrays that emotional journey, with different hues and shapes, with the sound design of each chapter.

Gris’s character evolves as she gains new abilities. Each new ability unlocks further parts of her world, mirroring her own emotional growth and allowing players to experience a deeply personal, evocative story in a stunningly serene setting.

The game is a visual masterpiece. The art direction is breathtaking—each environment is meticulously crafted, bringing to life a world that feels both melancholic and beautiful. The animation is delicate, fluid, and full of subtle emotion, and the soundtrack, composed by Berlinist, elevates every moment with an elegant, atmospheric score that perfectly complements the game's tone.

What truly sets GRIS apart is its lack of traditional gaming frustrations. The game focuses on exploration and light puzzles, allowing players to immerse themselves in the experience without feeling rushed or pressured. The platforming challenges are satisfying but never overly difficult, and the lack of text makes it universally accessible—regardless of language, anyone can appreciate the emotional journey this game offers.

In conclusion, GRIS is more than just a game—it's an emotional journey through a world of color, sound, and art. It’s a quiet, introspective experience that encourages reflection and emotional connection, and it’s a journey that feels as rewarding as it is beautiful. If you're looking for something serene, evocative, and artistically stunning, GRIS is a must-play.

Very cute and lovely short story from Might and Delight, The Lonesome Fog tells a story of a young lynx cub who is afraid of anything and everything, but eventually gets it's courage. It's not really a game, more of an interactive diorama book, but it was still very enjoyable. Sadly it's very short and absolutely not worth the full price it costs, thankfully it goes often on sale.

If you've ever dreamed of being an adorable, chaos-loving Pomeranian armed with a gatling gun, Doronko Wanko is the game for you! This delightful gem combines quirky humor, chaotic gameplay, and a unique premise that had me smiling the entire time.

The core gameplay is refreshingly simple yet ridiculously fun: get muddy, spread the mess, and cause as much delightful destruction as possible! The mechanics are surprisingly satisfying, especially when you shake off mud to uncover hidden Pomeranian “paintings” around the house. It’s like a scavenger hunt but with dirt—and a whole lot of personality.

I loved the variety of challenges and badges that encourage playful experimentation, whether it’s coating the beds in mud or finding creative ways to wreak havoc. Though the game is relatively short (I completed it in about an hour), every moment was packed with charm and entertainment. Sometimes, a bite-sized adventure is exactly what you need, and Doronko Wanko delivers that in spades.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a whimsical, lighthearted game that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Prepare for muddy chaos and endless giggles!

This game is a charming hidden-object game that perfectly captures the cozy, festive vibes of Halloween. As someone who has played their other hidden capybara games, I can confidently say Hidden Capybaras with Orange and Pumpkins: Spooky Halloween Edition is a delightful improvement!

The glowing lights when you find a hidden capybara is simply magical. It transforms the artwork and makes the entire experience feel even more vibrant and engaging. The cityscape brimming with Halloween décor, pumpkins, and spooky details is beautifully crafted, and searching for the 100 hidden capybaras is both relaxing and rewarding.

I also loved the extra challenge of finding 5 hidden cats and spotting special guest characters scattered throughout the scene. It added variety to the hunt and kept things fresh. While the game is on the shorter side—it took me just over 10 minutes to complete—it’s a perfect bite-sized experience. For newcomers to the genre, it could definitely take a bit longer to uncover all the secrets, making it even more satisfying.

This game is a treat for fans of hidden-object games or anyone looking for a lighthearted way to celebrate the Halloween season. Highly recommended for a quick, relaxing escape into a whimsical world full of capybara charm! It is also totally free, which is always a nice bonus!

If you're a fan of hidden object games and are looking for something delightful yet challenging, then Hidden Cats: The Last of Cats is an absolute gem that you won't want to miss! This free-to-play title features hidden feline friends that are both adorable and cleverly concealed.

While the base game is relatively short, clocking in at around 20 minutes, the addition of the DLC ramped up the complexity significantly for me personally. The challenge of locating these sneaky little cats is what truly sets this game apart from the others. The developers have genuinely nailed the art of making the cats small and well-hidden, which keeps the gameplay engaging and adds an extra layer of satisfaction when you finally spot them!

As you find each cat, vibrant colors gradually fill in the exquisite artwork of each area, which not only adds an aesthetic pleasure but also provides a rewarding sense of accomplishment as you complete each section. It's a simple yet effective way to visually represent your progress and makes every successful find all the more gratifying. I've played a couple of different hidden cats games that have done this previously, but I still find it a very fun way to track progress.

Overall, Hidden Cats: The Last of Cats is a delightful addition to the hidden object genre, filled with charming artwork and challenge. Whether you're a seasoned hidden object game enjoyer or just looking to unwind with some casual gaming, this game definitely provides an enjoyable experience. It’s a purr-fect way to spend your time!

A hidden object game where you embark on a quest to find cats and colorful balls of yarn across 20 snowy islands. Hidden Paws, with its cold winter night atmosphere, is visually appealing and creates a cozy ambiance. The game offers over two hours of gameplay, which, while not extensive, is perfect for a casual gaming session.

At first glance, the graphics are fair; they do the job but don’t particularly stand out in the crowded genre of hidden object games. One major highlight is the soothing soundtrack, which really sets the mood—although it’s unclear whether the tunes are original or sourced from elsewhere. Finding hidden felines and yarn amid cleverly crafted environments can be both entertaining and challenging, especially since they are often tucked away in unexpected spots like car trunks or behind piles of logs.

However, the game does have its downsides. For players prone to motion sickness, the camera controls can be a significant drawback. Although I eventually got the hang of it after about an hour, the camera movements felt cumbersome and made me a bit sickly, making the exploration of each level a tedious task. Searching around multi-sided buildings for hidden objects can also be frustrating, as you'll find yourself constantly readjusting the camera for a proper view.

In conclusion, Hidden Paws is a cute game with a lot of charm and hidden surprises. Yet, the frustrating camera mechanics hold it back from achieving its full potential and it made me give this game a negative review. If you can tolerate the camera controls, you’ll find a fun experience waiting. Otherwise, it might be worth keeping your eye out for other options in the genre.

Are you ready to adventure like it’s 2001? Skylar & Plux: Adventure on Clover Island is a passionate revival of the legendary 3D platformer genre with classic gameplay, playful gadgets, and a lighthearted story set in a gorgeous, colorful world reminiscent of our childhood adventures.

It's a very nice and lovely little 3D platforming game that is reminiscent of Jak and Dexter. It's quite simple, but has a few different unique mechanics that were quite fun to master. There was some collectibles to gather, which were not too difficult either.

I'm quite sad that the game has been removed from sale on steam since its a very lovely game and I would love to recommend it to people. Im sure you can still get a key somewhere but its probably not worth it for huge amounts of money. Either way, its a lovely game and totally worth playing if you happen to get it or you already own it!

It's a lovely free game from Devcats who have previously made games like A Castle Full Of Cats, Sudocats, Zodiacats and many more. You get to journey through gaming history's time and space, while searching for adorable feline companions in 'An Arcade Full of Cats,' the ultimate "pet'em up" hidden object game.

The paid DLC is required for getting a 100% completion on this game, but it is definitely worth it if you enjoy the rest of the game. You join Leo and Fofiño as they navigate a feline-infused version of the arcade era, spanning from 1980 to the year 2000, all while attempting to find their way back to the present! The DLC adds some more older timelines with extra stuff to do.

Absolutely recommended to be played!

I played this game for Pay or Play 4th Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Fynx.

Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift. Play as Alex, a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on an old military island. The night takes a terrifying turn when you unwittingly open a ghostly gate spawned from the island’s cryptic past.

Oxenfree was a lovely game with a dialogue heavy story and different endings, as well as some cheeky time shenanigans. I have enjoyed a bunch of similar games previously and this one did not disappoint at all! The game offers a low stress experience without forcing you to rush through the game. You can take it as slow as you like, or as fast as you like (or possibly can, obviously).

The game really shines with it's character design and making the characters feel like they were actually alive. Their reactions, random dialogue and all the little details made it such an enjoyable thing story-wise. Even if there story would have been bad, which it wasn't, but I get to that in a moment, the characters would have probably saved the game even then.

The story made it so there was a constant sense of pressure throughout the game, but it wasn't overwhelmingly bad that would have made me rush through it. I definitely got spooked a few times, more times than I'd like to admit, but it was definitely not too scary, but just enough!

Few issues I feel like this game had, was when some dialogue choices would start to fade out even before the character I was responding to hadn't finished talking yet. It was also a bit unclear when the thinking bubbles would appear atop people, when they were thinking about a specific character. Did it mean they were thinking of them positively or negatively?

The game was an alright experience to 100% complete it, but it did take me more playthroughs than I would have liked. I didn't really follow guides for the achievements, except for the collectibles, so you can kinda tell that from my playtime.

Either way though, I think its a fantastic game and everyone should definitely play it! Highly recommended!

I played this game for Pay or Play 3rd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Sword.

Grab your trench coat, tune your sixth sense and join the Darkside Division as they investigate the outright bizarre, the downright dangerous and the confusing cases of Twin Lakes.

The game follows a list of mysterious cases that are to be solved by the hard-boiled, yet surprisingly humorous Detective Francis McQueen and their lovable partner, Officer Dooley. Each case is it's own contained story, but certain plot threads and characters can be seen in multiple different cases.

The Darkside Detective effortlessly blends the spooky aspects with humor, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere that feels like a cozy mix of supernatural spooks and lighthearted buddy cop comedy. The witty dialogue stands out amidst it all, consistently delivering funny lines and puns.

The pixel art style is charming and nostalgic, perfectly capturing the essence of classic point-and-click adventure games. The game's design is full of clever details that reward exploration and keen observation, interacting with everything also gives you hilarious commentary from McQueen and Dooley. The puzzles are well-crafted, but on the tad easier side, so you wont get frustrated with them.

Overall, the game is a fantastic experience and I think anyone who enjoys these kinds of point-and-click pixel games will love it. The "very positive" rating it has on here is well deserved! Highly recommended.

Magic Axolotl is an enchanting and delightful game that captures the essence of whimsical, short-form adventure. In this charming little game, you play as an adorable axolotl wizard who embarks on a magical quest to recover a fallen star, guided by a mystical map. The journey takes you into beautifully crafted areas and finally into a dark forest where a dark ghost cat stands guard over the precious star.

The gameplay is simple yet captivating, relying on drawing spells with your mouse to defeat various enemies. I found the mechanic very simple and quick to learn, making it easy for players of all ages to jump in and enjoy the game. Though, the hard mode of the game is actually quite difficult to master, and I had to get my drawing display to be able to manage all the spells without taking damage, if you manage to beat it with your mouse, you might actually be a wizard!

Despite its short playtime, the game delivers a memorable experience filled with heart and whimsy. The story seems sweet, yet it isn't much expanded on. The axolotl protagonist is absolutely adorable, and the little amount of interaction that you get with the ghost cat at the end adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the narrative.

Overall, Magic Axolotl is a delightful indie gem that offers a perfect blend of cute visuals, engaging gameplay, and a heartwarming short story. It's a must-play for anyone looking for a magical, feel-good, casual game. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a charming way to spend a cozy afternoon, this game will undoubtedly leave you enchanted and smiling.

An indie racing game where you race with small cars made of blocks! It reminded me of Lego Racers somewhat, though this lacked in many aspects in my opinion. The game has it's heart in the right place, but it falls short on several key areas that I would think were integral for a racing game.

The game mechanics are alright, but there are many things that I didn't like, such as the fact that there was no controller support or the fact that getting new cars good cars required a lot of grind. There isn’t much to keep players engaged long-term, as the tracks and cars, though varied, don't offer enough distinction or challenge to sustain interest. There is a lot of levels, but they don't really get more interesting or harder.

Visually the game is really fun and the artstyle is quite pleasant to look at. The way the cars break down when you hit things and get repaired with different colored blocks was super fun. Soundtrack wise the game was really good, though I kinda wish there were more variety.

In conclusion, I feel like the game can become something amazing with a little more polish, though I didn't personally like how it was at the moment. I wish there was a neutral review option, but I guess I will recommend it, as it's still a few hours of good fun.

I really wanted to give this game a recommended review, but sadly, I had so many issues with it that I just can't. I'll start with the positive though, as my experience with the game wasn't all bad.

Back To Home is your average walking simulator type of game, with some platforming mixed in there. The graphics were decent, but the cat looked a little sick (especially when looking from the front lol). The soundtrack was lovely and It was easy to complete, in theory.

Truth however, was that I was more often than not, stuck in some hole that was left by the developer who had put down the 3D assets of the terrain. There were many such holes that I accidentally dropped myself in, and I was unable to continue without closing the game and restarting the chapter/level. There was also one part of the game where I was able to just jump over most of the "puzzles" and skip them entirely, and getting forward to the next chapter.

I feel like with a lot of hardwork and polish, this game could be a lovely little hidden gem, but to me, it currently isn't it and I felt more annoyed playing it, than satisfied and enjoyed. I wouldn't recommend getting it, as there are other better walking simulator like games out there similar to this one.

I feel like the devs did an improvement here by not giving an achievement for each Kiwi found, like they did in hidden cats game, but it didn't really improve the game enough to get a good review.

The game takes under 10 minutes to complete and it's really not that good. There is so many better hidden object games on steam. Most of the games from these devs feel like a copy paste, I also took a closer look at the artwork and it's really detailed for sure, but there is a lot of errors and it doesn't feel like it was done with care.

Sadly not for me and I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on it, even though it's really cheap.

I don't honestly know what to say about these games anymore. They are literally the same game, just with different items/animals to find, that are not actually that well hidden either! Also why did they combine birds, humans and balloons together to be found?? The one with Kiwis made sense to find the kiwi birds and the kiwi fruit, but this makes no sense. Also there were birds in the background that I couldn't select, which were clear birds!!

This game just made me more annoyed. If you have to play this dev's games play one of the other ones lol.

Cats Balance is such a fun balancing puzzle game with a bunch of different stages with varying levels of difficulty, a fantastic soundtrack that is very calming and a cute black cat cheering you on all the way to the end.

It's super cheap and great quality for what it is worth. My only complaint was that it felt like the game was completed a little too fast, so there could have been something more in it. Can't really say what that more could have been though, haha.

Either way, its an amazing little game and I definitely recommend this wholeheartedly! It was such a blast to play!

I love the artstyle of Might and Delight games, so getting a little storybook from them is amazing.
The stories are small short stories about fables about different kind of animals.

The fables have good sayings and meanings and it would be great to read for children!

In a world where the oceans are burdened by humanity's neglect, Clean the Sea! challenges you to pilot a lone vessel on a noble quest: cleanse the waters, rescue marine life, and turn the tide on pollution. As you progress in the game, you'll witness impact of your efforts, bringing life and color back to the areas that you've cleaned.

Alright, so, I really like these types of games where you do a task, get currency, improve your tools to get better at the task, then get more currency to improve your tools more, and the cycle goes on and on as long as the game goes on. This game was fun in that regard, though I feel like it would have needed some more things and better optimization in collecting and currency accumulation.

It only took an hour to 100% the game and clear all the areas currently available. It's a short game, and I feel like it would have been better if it took a little longer with more content. Sadly, you have to pay to get to the next areas, so if you focus on upgrading, you hamper your own progress and make it slower. The new trash accumulation is not fast enough for proper currency accumulation, so when you play like that it slows down a lot. Though, once you reach a bank, you can turn coins into cash and it will get a bit better.

Despite this, I did enjoy the game! I do think there could be some upgrades however: balance trash accumulation with upgrade costs, maybe add more different upgrades, the game needs to have an option to change the music volume, not just turning it on and off and the different levels could be a little bit different from each other.

I will say I recommend this game because I do think this would be a really good game with a little bit more work! The price is really good though, compared to what it is now!

Hop on and drive into the colorful adventure of this very cute game! You play as Corbid, a cute elephant, with the power of color on their side. You meet a cute friend, Poppy the axolotl, who helps you on your adventures.

You play your way through two different gardens which contain a few different levels and a boss "fight" for each. It's a very well made and enjoyable game, with cute enemies and a colorful look. The enemies in this game are defeated non-violently, so it's a very lovely game for children. The puzzles in this game include simple navigation, complex paths to unlock doors, use pressure plates and switches, targeting, navigating through different slimes, finding the different colors, combining them and more!

I absolutely enjoyed the game, the first garden was rather simple, but it was clearly meant as a "teaching the basics" kind of stage. The second garden was a little bit harder and it had me scratching my head at some times, but it was still rather simple and great for kids as well! I also read some reviews where people said there had been some bugs, but for me, I encountered none, so I believe they had fixed them rather quickly.

In conclusion it's a very lovely and enjoyable game in my opinion! Definitely worth the price it sits at and it was super fun. Absolutely recommended!

Nukearts Studio once more deliveres an amazing success of a game in their series of hidden cat games. Like it's predecessors, Hidden Cats in Berlin delivers an impressive array of details in it's artworks, with cats hidden in multiple different places and a couple of different modes to enjoy. You start with an uncolored illustration and it gets colored as you find more and more cats until the last one is found and the final awesome artwork is revealed in all of its beautiful color.

You get to play through two different modes of the main game, normal and advanced, as well as extra kitten levels that are unlocked from finding special named cats in advanced mode! There is also a big bonus level, which is unlocked by doing all of the bonus kitten levels. It's similar to what they started to include in their few previous games.

The game is relaxing and addictive like all the games in the series and I would highly recommend this game wholeheartedly, not just on sale, but even with full price as it is not only cheap, but supports the developers to make more of these amazing hidden cat games! Try it out!

Cute game filled with 100 hidden cats! The artwork is simple yet very cute. Finding the cats were very easy though, and I would have wished for a little bit more of a difficulty, or more levels to balance out the game being so easy to complete. It took me a whopping 3 minutes to complete.

Definitely a great free addition to the hidden cats assemble of games, but I hope they add updates in the future for the game to have more content! If you want to support the developer, they also have a DLC level that you can get for under 1€. It adds another 100 cats, but doesn't add any new achievements, so it's not a must if you just want to 100% the game.

I will definitely recommend it, since it's a free game with cute cats, but don't expect a huge amount of gameplay in this one!

Telltale revolutionized the ground-breaking choice and consequence game mechanics with their The Walking Dead Series. Now they delivered us a dark and moody thriller based on the Fables comics, The Wolf Among Us.

You play as Bigby Wolf, also known as The Big Bad Wolf, who acts as the Sheriff of Fabletown, a community made for the fables who had to leave their home behind and enter the world of the regular people. The game delivers a mature and gritty take on characters from fairytales, legends and folklore who have escaped into our world and has you hooked on it's story from the get go.

The story spans across 5 episodes that have 5 chapters in each of them. It has twists and turns, excitement and emotion at every turn and a thrilling ending that can change depending on your choices. The story absolutely doesn't disappoint and it was such a blast to play through.

The game isn't even that hard to 100% either, as most achievements are automatic as the story progresses, though some require you to do different choices, for collecting all entries for the book of fables. Thankfully that has been made easy with the replay option after you have completed each episode. I did that at the end once I had completed the whole game and it took only a few moments.

I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys Telltale games and story-based games. While everyone still clings to the hope of a second season, I personally am just really happy to have experienced this game. Definitely worth your time!

A very lovely Hidden Object game where your hidden objects are cute cats! The game has a very cute artstyle and you can customize all colors of the game if you want! You can change the background, lineart and cat colors to suit your needs! This was perfect because I wanted everything to be dark, since I cannot do lightmode.

The game doesn't take too long to complete though, it only took me 13 minutes to find all cats and do a speedrun level once. It's rather short, and I would have preferred a little bit more game time. There is some extra levels from paid DLCs.

I had some issues with the game running properly through steam when pressing play, so I had to run the game through it's exe file, but that didn't affect anything thankfully, and achievements unlocked fine! Other than that, it was a fantastic hidden cats game and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

I can definitely recommend it for a quick little fun! and it's free, so its definitely worth it!

Another fun Hidden Cats game from Noobzilla. I feel like this one was a huge improvement on the previous one I played! Still very cute art and lovely soundtrack! You can still pick your personal colors on the background, lineart and cats which is still a huge bonus! You can also customize your cursor which was super fun!

This time there is more things to do, some special easter eggs and locked chests. They have less achievements than the last game, but this time the game takes longer to 100%, but it doesn't take too long in my opinion! There is also a photomode that you can try out!

This game still didn't want to launch properly through steam, so I had to play it through the exe again, but the achievements unlocked normally and game time was recorded fine. It's still a little bit of an inconvenience, but it was a good game still.

Definitely recommended, a lovely game for free and was very fun to play. Absolutely worth your time!

I played this game for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by La Volpe.

As an operative tasked with fixing corruption in the timeline, you have been sent to the North of England in May 2015, where six people died in a house fire. Prohibited from simply stopping the fire, you must instead manipulate the choices made by the housemates in the week leading up to it so that they all survive the event.

Eternal Threads is a single-player, first-person story-driven puzzle game of time manipulation, choice and consequence. You watch through scenarios to unravel the personal stories of the six people you are tasked to save, while changing their choices along the way to make sure they survive the night of the fire. You can also work through their personal issues while you are at it, which leads to a "perfect ending".

It's definitely an awesome storytelling game that is well written and it combines the ordinary together with the futuristic mundane. It was really hard to just stop playing and I felt like I could have played it from start to finish in one setting if I had the time. The stories of the different characters were very good and really had me hooked. The burned down house was at times creepy and gave a little bit of suspense to the whole game while playing.

The game wasnt too difficult to 100% and I really had a blast while playing it. It's definitely a good game to play if you enjoy choices, time manipulation and a good, well written story. Highly recommended!

I played this game for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Escollo.

Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed, neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. You get to play as a cute orange cat who gets separated from it's family and the goal is to find your way back home to the outside world. Time to solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by curious droids and dangerous creatures and make new friends along the way!

It's an absolutely fantastic story with fun gameplay and lovely characters. The main character, the stray cat, is adorable and has very realistic cat movement and mannerisms. Your companion droid, B-12, that you meet along the way, is very adorable little robot with an interesting backstory that unravels as you go forward and collect it's memories along the way.

I felt like this game combined some of my favorite things about games; cats, exploration, collectibles, emotional turmoil and impressive scenery. It really was one of the more enjoyable gaming experiences I have had the pleasure of playing. The soundtrack was also super good and I can't wait to give it a listen later and add it to my spotify list.

I think this is one of those games everyone should play! So I highly recommend this to anyone who is atleast a little bit interested, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

A melancholic love story between a woman, named Clarisse (main character name can be changed), escaping her busy life as a surgeon and the spirit of a deceased young man, named Nathan. On a fateful day, they are led together by the spirit of Nathan's dog, Ulysses, the most goodest boy.

Autumn Spirit is a lovely, yet surprisingly emotional visual novel styled game with an amazing story and characters. The game left me in tears and the emotion that the characters had was felt by me through the screen very strongly. The dog was also a great addition to the game and it made me sad at times.

I highly recommend this game, definitely worth your time!

I won this game through SteamGifts.
I played it for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Escollo.

Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm based FPS game where you need to fire, reload, dodge, murder and mayhem to the beat of the soundtrack. It is really a lovely game, with amazing gameplay and smooth experience even for those of us who suck at rhythm based games.

In the game you play as The Unknown, who has lost her voice to The Judge, and her journey is narrated by this skull, who you can also use as a weapon on your journey. She wants her voice back, and she's going to get it by force. The story was pretty good, I do think there was some things that could have been better, and I feel like the game doesn't shine in this aspect, but it was not bad at all.

Many reviews on steam say that it's basically a really awesome album that comes with a free game attached. That's a pretty accurate statement in my opinion. The soundtrack is absolutely a banger and I really, really, really, REALLY need it to come to spotify. I am still hopeful, even after all this time since release.

I played the game on the easiest difficulty and with the "always on beat" setting, because I remembered playing the demo when it was about to release and having rage quitted it, because I just couldn't do it. It's not you, it's me situation lmao. I can't do rhythm games, but this was absolutely one of those games that I had to experience myself.

Now, I know i've talked about the game already a lot, but let me just say, the final battle with my favorite song from the soundtrack, No Tomorrow (featuring Serj Tankian), was SO GOOD! Like, the song makes it 100x times more amazing and cool. It's just so beautiful. I loved every second of this.

It's definitely a game I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys rhythm based games, and FPS games similar to DOOM. It is absolutely worth every penny it costs.

I have played a couple of different types of desktop pet games and applications recently, and I have to say, this one has really great artstyle and looks very cute, but lacks in literally anything else. There is good amount of settings, but you cant raise the pets to be on top of your taskbar, as the application only allows you to raise them just a specific amount.

You can select whichever pet you want, which is really nice, but there is no actual mechanics to the pets, on keeping them happy or fed, or to be able to play with them. I believe the developers plan on updating the app some more in the future, so I hope these updates will include some actual mechanics to the application.

Sadly I cannot recommend it at this time of its life, and will instead towards you to some other desktop pet application, as there are a lot of them out there. My opinion on this might change eventually, if more content is added.

I don't think this game requires much explanation on what it is, but I will give you a good review anyway.

Furry Shades of Gay is a visual novel type of game with Match 3 puzzle gameplay between each branching story option. Your success in the Match 3 game at each branch affects the choices you can select, though most of the time you can select freely as getting the choices unlocked is rather easy.

The gameplay is solid and fun, the artwork and animation are actually pretty good and honestly hot, and the writing is decent, but nothing ground breaking. The game does have voice acted scenes, but some sounds were not entirely realistic and sometimes broke the immersion a little bit. It's easy to tell that this game isn't your regular shovelware hentai game out here on steam. You can tell that there was actual effort put into the game and I enjoyed that more than anything else in the game.

Other than that I don't really have much to say about this one, it's porn, it's furry. It's pretty alright and I enjoyed 100% it. It's very much 100% gay, but I'm sure you got that from the name alone. If you want this kind of content, it's a good recommendation for it, and I think the price of it isn't half bad either. I definitely recommend it.

Step into the world of Synthetic Lover, where it is the year 2066 and the futuristic world has managed to create android companions, biologically engineered humanoids a.k.a Biots, that are almost identical to humans. They are the majority of the workforce in this world and are considered as items or any other tech.

You play as a Biot, Unit 352, who works as a sexual companion biot at an establishment called Dollhouse. His days go on as normal until crossing paths with an opportunistic thief called Bastian and a mysterious device in his possession that causes Unit 352 to start feeling more human-like feelings.

Synthetic Lover is a BL/Yaoi visual novel game with 2 main love interests, 1 extra side romance, 7 different endings and a fully voice acted story. There is also a free 18+ Adult Only patch DLC that you can get which will make certain scenes extra spicy!

As a fan of BL/Yaoi VNs this was definitely one of the more good ones in my opinion! The story was super interesting to me and I loved all the scenes. The art is so beautiful and the fact that the whole game is voice acted was fantastic! There was a few hiccups here and there with some voice lines being in the wrong order, but they were not that bad and there were just a few of those.

I really enjoyed this game and I definitely would recommend it to any BL/Yaoi VN lovers. Definitely recommend getting the free 18+ patch as well, as long as you are of age. Definitely worth the high price tag.
