“Foolish Mortals is at its core a charming adventure, held back by a weaker script, an overlong running time, and an unbalanced art style. Even so, it offers plenty of reasons to like it.”

“The Jester and the Madman is an enjoyable Lovecraftian morsel that may feature somewhat flat characters and dialogues that can feel a bit stiff at times, but it makes up for it with its well-crafted aesthetics and inventive puzzles.”

“Fading Serenades is an enjoyable little bite-sized experience, but it quickly becomes quite repetitive, and its higher price doesn’t do it any favors either. Still, it offers a few reasons why it might be worth giving a chance—especially when it’s on sale.”

“Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken is an interesting genre hybrid that hides a highly atmospheric and entertaining game within. Unfortunately, it sometimes ends up tripping over its own feet.”

“The Lacerator is a dream come true for all fans of horror and crazy B-movies. It’s a game made with love for the genre, and despite its obviously smaller budget and technical shortcomings, it has tremendous charm.”

“Sushi Ben is a pleasant little bite-sized experience that can entertain, and if you’re in the mood for a feel-good game, it’s definitely worth a try. Just be wary of the repetitiveness and the weaker content outside the main story.”

“Casebook 1899 – The Leipzig Murders is a very pleasant detective story for a chilly evening, with lighthearted and amusing twists. It’s true that the game sometimes loses its pace, but it’s still an easygoing little snack.”

“Not all elements are polished to perfection, but even so, Carnival is a solid piece of work with replay value, excellent atmosphere, well-chosen pacing, and above all, a love for the genre.”

“If you love old-school adventure games packed with humor and heart, Wildwood Down is one you definitely shouldn’t miss. It offers around ten hours of fun with a great main character, an entertaining world, and unforgettable characters.”

“Despite its flaws, it is a hidden gem among CRPG titles that every fan of the genre—and of dark magic in general—should play. Beneath its unassuming visuals lies a well-written story and over 40 hours of necromantic fun.”

“Last Report is a short but intense horror bite, set in the unique environment of a national park, offering a fresh twist on the Papers, Please-style formula.”

“Finnish Cottage 8 is a pleasant twist on a familiar puzzle concept wrapped in a horror setting – an ideal choice for fans of shorter logic-horror experiences.”

“Without a Dawn is an ideal experience for playing games at night with headphones, and overall it is a very strong one-liner - a melancholic “bedtime story” for adult souls.”

“After many years, we have finally seen an adventure game that clearly shows the ideas, diligence and passion of its creators. Main part of Elroy and the Aliens, which is story, is unfortunately not as good as the rest of the game. Still, it's a nice title that can keep you entertained if you know what to expect from it.”

“Rosewater is a funny adventure with a sympathetic group in the Wild West. And while the journey itself is occasionally a little scruffy, as a whole the game definitely delights.”

“Merchant 64 is a stereotypical, but at the same time entertaining and charming one-shot that doesn't offer much gameplay depth but still manages to entertain in shorter sessions.”

“Recall: Empty Wishes delivers a short but intensive experience that keeps you going till the end. If you like emotional and horror-themed titles, it's definitely worth trying out.”

“Cat Detective Albert Wilde is a nice game for one day, but it is shrouded in cheaper visual, and the game deserves few upgrades.”

“An English Hauting is simply a very well written mystery adventure game that was made with a lot of love, and it shows.”
