The best Myst roguelike I've played in years. Minor stability issues (crashed on me twice, including during the ending cutscene so I don't have the achievement), but the game is an amazing cozy game with some devious puzzles and some dark elements.

This is "Tonal Dissonance: The Hidden Object Game." You start exploring a Viking village, looking for something from a set of three (3) groups, you enjoy the parallax artwork, and the relatively straightforward visuals for the genre. As you find items, the world gradually comes to life and by the time you've found your first 300 items, you've figured the game out. Then the next level starts and the tone shifts as this Viking village filled with Cat Vikings that you've explored starts to attack a neighboring village of Mouse People.

I recommend that you play this without using any hints so you can get the most time out of it possible, but also so you can see the tonal whiplash and rough edges as closely as possible. "Oh, I'm looking for a carrot. This old lady's walking stick looks vaguely carrot-ish. I'll click it...and yes, it was a carrot, and this enabled her to run for her life away from all of the violence around her." "Oh, I'm looking for a lute. It's barely visible behind these two moving creatures so I have to wait for the right moment to click on it." "Oh, I'm looking for a jug, but not a vase. Is this a jug? I can't tell unless I slide the view over to the side so that the parallax element in front of it is out of the way." "I'm looking for crowns. The crowns on the shields count, but the crowns on the coins do not." "On this one item, and one item only, the item I need to click is on the furthest back parallax background layer." "I picked up this item from the top of a bucket, and a child that was hiding under the bucket rapidly began crawling towards the castle to find a safe haven."

As always, I love the art style in these hidden cat games. This one, with the DLC, is absolutely massive.

Only downsides are that you have to talk to the cats in the park before you can start picking up their collectibles, there are some cats and collectibles that end up behind some HUD elements (so make sure you zoom using your mouse wheel and scroll around to get them all), there are some cats and collectibles that are on the very edge of the playfield so if you are either using a touch screen or using a TV for a monitor, you may have difficulty seeing or selecting them, and if you are on a clicking roll, there may be times where your clicks aren't registered.

Overall recommend.

Most thematically consistent hidden object game on Steam. You aren't finding vaguely cat-shaped objects...you're petting cats when you find them. Secondary items are there to keep the cats hydrated during the day and fed at night. No achievements at the moment for the DLC, but still worth the $2.

Cute little idle game. A few minor bugs (e.g. +2,500 doesn't add 2,500 to your token value but instead sets it), but they're minor quibbles.

Biggest downsides: it doesn't save your settings for Sound Effects and Music when you exit, and it doesn't tick up on close and fill in for downtime, so you have to keep it running to progress.

Update May 2024: After the updates, the id Software git repositories for Doom, Doom 3: BFG Edition, and Quake III: Arena worked. Still some UX wonkiness (needs scroll wheel speed adjustment, for example), but it's improving from where it was at launch.

Note that the software only appears to construct the tree when in the foreground, so don't background the app while it does its initial work. Otherwise, you'll be waiting a long time for nothing.

A beautiful follow up to the original "Submerged." While there are the occasional collision issues that will leave you stuck in the geometry, they are few and far between in this calming puzzle platformer that is perfect for players looking for a non-combat explorathon.

If you've played the first game and wondered if it was possible for a meme game to have even less respect for your time, then you'll be amazed that this game somehow did it.

Unfortunately, this likely won't be the last game in the series. I'm sure that NFTs (Non-Refundable Financial Transactions) will definitely find their way into the next entry.

Yes, it's too short and leaves you wanting more. I really wish the end had been a case instead of an exposition dump. That said, I feel that this was a worthwhile investment of 2.5 hours.

This is a decent hidden object/puzzle game. It seems to be visually inspired by and take some story elements from the first BioShock, but the story isn't anywhere near as compelling. Decent waste of a few hours if you're into the genre.
