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. |
