Title Thoughts Wishlisted?
Antidote to despair Inspect patients, identify symptoms, prescribe medicines. Fun slavjank, hopefully the translation improves.
Baby Steps Classic annoying movement controls funny fall down game. Streamerbait. I really enjoyed the writing though so I gave it a wishlist.
BALL x PIT Brickbreaker Roguelike with basebuilding as meta progression. I had fun
Cast n Chill Comfy pixel art fishing game. The actual fishing mechanics weren’t fun and I immediately resorted to always using the idle screensaver auto fishing mode while tabbing out to do something else. Just like real fishing I guess.
Confidential Killings Golden Idol-like set in late 70’s Hollywood, doesn’t have the polish, some of the clickable parts of the scene feel obtuse.
Crescent County Witches on brooms racing, not polished enough to be doing a demo IMO
Dispatch Tell Tale visual novel + 911 dispatch simulator but its with superheros/villains. If you like capeshit you’ll probably like this.
Galvatein Adventurers Guild Inspection game but you’re making sure an adventurer actually completed their quest. Translation really isn’t up to snuff yet.
Hunters Inc First person monster hunting game. The tutorial level really did not win me over and I just bailed.
Jump Ship 4 Player coop space crew adventure thing. Like pulsar lost colony meets ftl, with a graphical upgrade.
Kaizen: A Factory Story Zachtronics-like building products in japan, 10x more story that zachtronics games
Lost and Found Co. Cute hidden object game, your boss is a hot dragon lady but she turns into a tiny pink dragon
Mr. Billion: Idle Rich Tycoon Dog awful attempt to make one of those idle life sim games. Clearly designed as a mobile cash vacuum game.
NET.CRAWL Deckbuilding puzzle hack crawl thing. Seemed competent enough but just didn’t click with me.
Oh, Bugger! You kill alien bugs in a space ship. Kinda singleplayer DRG esque. Not my kinda game but seemed decent enough
PIGFACE Grungy mook killing simulator. Kinda like a 3D hotline miami but you have health and aren't one tapped by everyone
Quarantine Zone: The Last Check Inspection game but you’re inspecting people at a zombie quarantine checkpoint. Has regular base defense segments where you pilot a drone and also segments where you escort a extraction convoy.
ReWire Pipe puzzle game, mechanics got annoying quickly
Sip Fisher Gimmick game where you’re drinking a lake through a straw. Fun but shallow
Strange Antiquities People come into your shop wanting a magical trinket, consult your book on magic trinkets and figure out which one from the shelf to pick because your boss doesn’t use labels apparently.
TerraTech Legion Vampire Survivors except you’re a giant killdozer covered in guns. Very fun.
Tower Networking Inc Job simulator game but for guys who run cables around and setup servers and routers. Seems good but not really my thing
Wildgate PvP space battle royale, much more fun with friends rather than randoms.
The Spell Brigade This one is already for sale and not actually part of the fest but I only realized that after I played it a bunch. Its very fun. Coop survivors-like slinging wizard spells at some weird bug monsters. All spells do friendly fire so your friends are more often than not your biggest danger.
Star Birds A more casual, cutesy factory game. I think this better serves as an entry point into automation games rather than something for people who already play them. Made by the Kurzgesagt guys.
Insider Trading Simple deckbuilder based around manipulating the stock market up and down to make a weekly profit goal. I enjoyed it more than a lot of the deckbuilders in this fest that felt the need to dump 80 mechanics at me all at once. the music and art were also simple and enjoyable
He Who Watches Very good puzzle game, you navigate on a grid like old dungeon crawlers, can walk on walls, and do the old shoot the glowing eye thing to open doors.
The Boundary Condition Puzzle game where you chance your perspective between 3D, 2D, 1D. Instantly lost my attention when it began a autoscrolling section that resets you if you hit a wall
Scavland Topdown pixely stalker, I bought a ushanka and walked down a road a little and was promptly mauled to death by a pack of rats. Seems decent enough but not my kind of game
Feline Forensics and the Meowseum Mystery Cat detective game, demo is essentially just a tutorial that ends right after, which is very worrying considering I encountered a glitch within that very short time. Its kind of hard to justify wishlisting the game based on what little is shown here but I'm a sucker for detective games
Jupiter Junkworks Tetris but with new shapes, a match 4 element randomly placed inside the blocks of pieces, a lot of graphics and effects, and anime visual novel people talking that make me cringe a little.
AiliA I like the puzzle mechanics well enough but the story just lost me nearly instantly and I don't like the mechanics that much. You play as a little elf girl though so one of you will like it anyway.
DEFICIT Went in thinking I was getting an immersive sim, ended up running through corridors smacking guys with a wrench until they died. Incredibly disappointed but I got my own hopes up.
Military Incremental Complex Incremental clicker game with slightly more depth, a nice old windows aesthetic, and you are an AI infinitely fueling the military industrial complex to make number go up. I'm sold.
