“BrokenLore: UNFOLLOW is a psychological horror experience that tackles the darker side of social media, bullying, and self-image through a surreal and unsettling narrative. Its atmosphere, symbolism, and story themes stand out as the game’s strongest elements, creating moments that feel both disturbing and emotionally grounded. However, repetitive exploration, simple puzzles, and occasionally frustrating chase sequences hold the experience back from reaching its full potential. Despite its flaws, the game’s ambition and message make it a memorable indie horror journey.”

“The Last Case of John Morley offers a short and atmospheric detective story with strong sound design, moody environments and escape room style puzzles that recreate a twenty year old murder case. The investigation is very linear with a lot of guidance and the production has some rough edges such as inconsistent visuals, clunky menus and odd lock mechanics. Despite these issues, the narrative stays engaging and delivers a solid three hour mystery adventure for fans of simple and immersive investigations.”

“Scene Investigators will be a real pleasure for those who like to break their heads. The lack of finish and answers at the end of an investigation may put some off. Some of the questions in the investigations seem to have been put in to make certain cases unnecessarily complex. Investigators is unfortunately very short, with only 9 scenes to solve. Despite this, the developers' attention to the smallest details will delight the most discerning sleuths. We have an excellent time exploring and deducing the circumstances of the tragedies, but I can't help feeling that something is missing.”

“Daymare: 1994 Sandcastle is a good survival horror. The game has its faults, whether it's the poor variety of weapons and enemies or its uneven graphics. Nevertheless, the many positive points, such as the puzzles, story and combat mechanics, outweigh the negatives. The game is very difficult even for veterans of the genre (unless you play in story mode) and is not for everyone. However, fans of Resident Evil or Dead Space can look forward to this new title in the Daymare saga.”

“Voyage is a good little game that's worth discovering. The game aims to be a simple and relaxing experience in a very artistic settings. To that extent, we can say that it delivers. However, the simplicity is not for everyone and some players will not like this lack of challenge. Voyage is unfortunately very short and would have deserved other environments with other puzzles. I recommend you try it when you want to sit down, relax and not think too much.”

“Oxide Room 104 is a good little horror game. The atmosphere put forward is perfectly successful and the puzzles are very logical. They will be particularly appreciated by fans of escape games who will see several similarities. There are some problems with texture reflections, but they do not spoil our experience. Oxide focuses primarily on puzzles and not fights. Despite the fact that there's isn't a wide range of diversity, the design of the monsters is very well thought out. If you want a game that's not too long and like horror and puzzles, this game is for you.”

“Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? is a cool title that will keep you busy for a few hours. The plot is well put together and everything is explained if you manage to get the best ending. The fact that it's always the same poison and the same suspect will cause the majority of players to move on as soon as the right conclusion is found. Even though some evidences are obtained in a sort of unpredictable way, I had a lot of fun carrying out the investigation.”

“Visage achieves a real tour de force. It allows itself to put us in confidence and control before destroying us in the most efficient way. The chapters being all different, the game is renewed each time. Its atmosphere and its difficulty turn it into a game that you shouldn't put in all hands. In my opinion, Visage is a success and you should give it a chance at least once in your life (if you feel up to it).”
