The Fantastic Kitty Rue

You play as a little girl named Felicity Rue. Her dream is to become the most famous tap dancer in the galaxy. By doing so, she needs to bend a few rules.

The game is very pretty! The artsyle is super clean! The plush vendor is definitely my favorite!

That being said, I do have a few dislikes unfortunately.
- For a game that's supposed to be about a tap dancer, there really isn't much tap dancing going on.
- I thought it was a little annoying that some of the dialogue was being read and some wasn't. Having everything read out was maybe a bit too expensive with the voice actors but if that was the case I'd chosen that nothing was being read. I loved the voice acting. It fit the characters perfectly! So having to miss most of it was a bit of a bummer.
- Turning around in the room seemed to be inverted. I constantly turned the wrong way the first time I wanted to look around. Maybe add a setting that lets you change that?
- It's a short game. I don't mind shorter games if they feel finished afterwards. This game has so much potential to become a bigger game and if you're deciding to add more to it, I'm here for it!

I'd give this game a 6/10
It's super cute, it looks great, it's just that it's a bit short and to me it feels like there's missing a few things to really make my score a bit higher.

However, I did really enjoy playing this game and getting to know the characters!

Children of Silentown

This game is about a town that's surrounded by a forest filled with monsters. The people in Silentown live by a bunch of rules to try and make sure they don't get taken by the monsters. You play as Lucy, a child who is curious and has questions about the forest and the monsters. When her mom goes missing she decides to take action!

The thing that instantly drew me to this game was the art style. It's so pretty and slightly creepy! I love it! It reminds me of Tim Burton and Don't Starve. The amount of care and development that came with it really shows.
The game has some puzzle elements in it. Some were a bit more tricky than others but overall they weren't extremely difficult at all.

Achievement wise:
The game is pretty easy to get 100%.
It requires a few playthroughs due to the fact that there are 4 different endings.
Maybe some of the stickers and secret notes need a bit more searching.

My dislikes:
I really only have one dislike which is the way the monsters are drawn.
All the people and the environment all fit perfectly together. Like everything is supposed to be there. And then there are the monsters who feel like they got lack of attention. Maybe this is on purpose?

I give this game a 9/10
I loved this game so much and enjoyed every bit of every playthrough!

TEMPUS

TEMPUS is a puzzle game where you need to solve puzzles to fix your time machine so you can travel to another age.

The game looks very pretty. I love the color pallet, it's very soothing for the eyes. Overall this game gives me The Witness feels. The puzzles are not so difficult.

Achievements:
The game is extremely easy to get 100%. Just play it. You'll be able to finish it between 3 - 4 hours.

Those were unfortunately my only positives about the game.
- I suffer from motion sickness while playing FP games. Normally there's an option to turn off the headbobbing. This usually helps quite a bit. Too bad this game didn't had that option.
- One puzzle took me ages to figure out. Not because it was difficult to understand but because it required me to duplicate a tune. I'm tone deaf, these puzzles are the worst for me.
- There's one map with lightning. Which made my motion sickness so much worse and it resulted in me having to stop playing because it gave me a massive headache.
- The last map was too much for the game too load. It became incredibly choppy. Stream also became unwatchable. The headbobbing combined with the choppiness made me extremely nauseous.

I'm gonna give this game a 5/10. I want to give this game the benefit of the doubt. If the developers would add options to get rid of the headbobbing and make sure the game is able to load all the stuff in the last map, it would help a lot.

Murder Is Game Over

Murder Is Game Over is a very short, 2 - 3 hour long story driven game where you have to solve the murder of Russel Gallant. You play as Detective Guy and his loyal clue sniffing dog Cleo.

This game was fun! I really enjoyed playing it! The design is pixelart and fits the theme. It's been described as a point and click but it's best played with just your keyboard. You have to walk around the location of the murder to find all of the suspects and interview them to see who they are and what their motive might be.

For my fellow achievement hunters:
The game has 12 achievements and they are super easy. Just follow the story! After I completed the game I had to go back once because I missed two. Which was not a big deal at all! So for an easy 100% this game is already worth it.

Things I disliked about the game:
- The controls felt a bit off to me. You had to walk with the arrow keys which feels unnatural to me.
- No keybinding option. Which would've been great to be able to put it on WASD. But I also completely understand that due to it being a super short game the developer might've been a bit limited.
- One song felt very much out of place but it also made it fun.

Overall I give this game a 7/10

Silence

The game Silence has a beautiful but sad story. It's about Noah and Rennie, brother and sister, who are stuck in the world Silence, a world between life and death. They know exactly what to do to get out, follow them on their journey through the world of the in between.

I absolutely loved this game. The story moved me quite a bit. The art work is stunning and the voices really fit the characters! The game is a point and click puzzle game. It's story based but to progress you need to solve some puzzles. Some are slightly trickier than others but they are relatively easy! The game also has a bit of humor in it still. But since this game is from Daedalic I was also expecting it because their games are always so much fun!
I instantly fell in love with Spot and Rennie, they are extremely adorable! The character I hated was Sadwick and I just don't understand why Rennie loves him so much.

The game is relatively short. It took me around 5 hours to complete it the first time. I've had to do 4 playthroughs to get all of the achievements. There are 2 endings so that means 2 playthroughs. I did one to get the remaining achievements and I had to do 1 more because for one achievement in particular that was broken and will only be triggered while playing with a controller. So just a small tip. To get all of the achievements it took me 25 hours but if I knew beforehand that one achievement was broken it would've been less.

Things I disliked about the game or maybe would've liked to see differently are:
- Some more background stories about the characters. After another playthrough I've noticed a few dialogs that didn't quite make sense to me but they never explain what they mean.
- Harder puzzles. Some of the puzzles, if not all, are pretty easy and I'm not sure if you can actually call them puzzles. But on the other hand I also understand that this game is more about the story than the actual puzzles so it also makes sense. This really just is a matter of opinion.
- Working achievements. Or at least, one in particular that would also be triggered while playing with mouse and keyboard.

Overall I give this game a 7/10
The story is beautiful and the artwork is stunning. Which is always a big plus for me. The game isn't perfect and it could've been a lot better if there was a bit more to it.

The Artful Escape

This game is about a teenage guitar player who is forced to step into his dead uncles footsteps who was a folk legend. The teenager struggles with his sounds and ends up going on a psychedelic journey to find his new stage performance and find out which sounds he doesn't like.

This game is incredibly gorgeous! It has overwhelmingly, beautiful and extreme vibrant colors you just can't look away. The music they used for the guitar riffs and everything around it is amazing!
The game is a side scroll visual novel. During the game you come across people you have to have an epic guitar battle with.

Only a handful of games have been able to REALLY grab my attention for a very long time in a row. Therefor I finished this game in 6 - 7 hours in one go. I just wasn't able to stop, I had to keep going, i had to finish it. This game got me HOOKED big time! I had to get up at 5:30am in the morning but finished the game far past midnight. Absolutely no regrets whatsoever! Lack of sleep was completely worth it.

This game only has 12 achievements and most of them are story based so unmissable. There are a few who you can mis on your first run but seriously, having to play this for a second time would not be a bad thing at all! You could if you don't want too, read into the achievements then you'll know at which parts you need to do a little thing to get it.

This game is a 10/10 all the way.
The story, the art, the humor, the everything!

This game is a very short, story based game. You play as Claire on her journey to the top of the mountain for cellphone reception. Along the way you meet people who are also on a hike or just messing around. These people give you quests to do and their dialog is pretty great! The game has a lot of humor.
The end of the game was not what I was expecting and due to extremely similar real life events, it hit me really hard. Overall the game is great! I love the looks of it. The only thing I dislike is how the map rotates. My inner Roronoa Zoro was not happy with it at all, I found it pretty difficult to navigate properly and therefor was lost most of the time. But on the other hand, I never encountered a game with these mechanics before and therefor made it unique.

When it comes down to my fellow achievement hunters, they are pretty easy to get!
The only one that I had a lot of difficulties with are the different type of fish you need to catch. You need to find the right fishing spot and have to try several times to get the fish.
