“Book of Hours is a rare mix of a calm setting, slow-paced learning, and puzzles with meanings. It is more about knowledge, ceremony, and healing than fighting or speed. The game's story is told in layers, the pacing is sluggish, and the art style is different, all of which contribute to creating a sense of peaceful discovery that rewards players for being curious and sticking with it.”

“The Lonesome Guild, which is slow-paced, sentimental, and based on poignant storytelling, perfectly captures the cozy RPG vibe. However, it struggles to strike a balance between warmth and depth. The idea of loneliness as an antagonist in the story is fascinating, but the writing and pacing fail to keep the reader engaged. Although useful, combat is simple and unchallenging, and the relationship system never reaches its full potential.”

“The Séance of Blake Manor aims to improve rather than reimagine the detective genre. Confidence, not complication, is what makes it unique. It is a gothic mystery about faith, reason, and human fragility, and it understands exactly what kind of story it wants to convey.”

“Playing Misery, whether by yourself or with others, provides a unique taste of post-apocalyptic survival. This game is more about atmosphere, experimentation, and endurance than it is about intricate mechanics or narrative explication.”

“Eclipsium is a horror game that is actually an emotional journey. It goes against the notion of what fear ought to feel like. It gives something more subdued than monsters or jump scares: the terror of being alone, of uncertainty, and of losing oneself.”

“Onirism is a must-play for fans of imaginative indie shooters or vintage 3D platformers. It provides a sense of exploration that is becoming increasingly rare in today's glossy, formulaic gaming world. Players are enticed to explore Crearia's next gateway because, despite its occasional blunders, it does so with charm and zeal.”

“Éalú is an amazing first game. It's a handmade stop-motion game that blends beauty with an emotional storyline. It goes against the grain of traditional game design by prioritizing texture, movement, and visual narrative over dialogue or digital perfection.”

“SWORN is excellent for those looking for something else to try out that is extremely similar to Hades, and want to try out playing Hades in co-op with their friends. It has a lot to offer, and I believe it is fun enough to overlook the bad taste that may be left due to its blatant plagiarism.”

“Arctic Awakening is an interesting story-driven adventure game that does a great job at creating a mood and delivering an emotional tale. The game's best features are its graphic design, emotive music, and the way Kai and Alfie's relationship grows. The branching choices let you see several endings, and the story is well-paced with five chapters.”
