Good and interesting story, with some good WW1 pieces of information. Cool visuals, though it might be very hit or miss for some. I liked the art style for the most part, although it makes collectibles very hard to spot a lot of the time. Gameplay is pretty basic, so there's nothing much to say about it, really. Completion is easy if you follow a guide, collectibles are the only slightly annoying part. The strangest thing about this game, however, is the default movement controls, which, for some reason, are QZSD.

Interesting detective walking sim. You get summoned to help in a case of vandalism by a store owner in Northern Quebec, but as soon as you arrive there, you find yourself alone, stuck in a town abandoned by everyone. As you struggle to survive the cold, you now have to find out what has happened with the town and how to get out of it.
The environments are quite beautiful, plenty of screenshot worthy opportunities. The soundtrack is decent, though you will mostly hear the same two songs for the majority of the game. But honestly, I never really got tired of them. The gameplay is very simple, as I said, it's mostly a walking sim, with some driving to get you places, and looking for clues to piece together the story. You have some very light survival elements, keeping yourself warm and sane, both of which are quite simple. As well as some light combat, all you fight are some easy to get rid of wolves at times. The story is pretty intriguing, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Piecing together different cases in the town and slowly getting to know the simple townsfolk who used to live there and their secrets was satisfying and enjoyable.

Peak meets peak, what's there not to love.

Very good, fun to play with a squad, and a pretty solid Roguelike overall, especially in this early stage. It does need some tweaks here and there, though, maybe more quest types, and some changes to the totem quest, which can get frustrating very easily, especially with large visual clutter that some characters can create. The maps are very unique from each other and feel good, except for the occasional random wall you'll get stuck into, and the enemies and bosses are diverse enough to always keep you engaged and a little on your toes, even when you feel invincible. The items are quite basic mostly, but they do the job well and feel balanced for the most part, the biggest exception to this being the healing items, none of which are even remotely decent or worth keeping in a build, having to rely solely on the 'crits heal' strat no matter what character you play or items you get, any other healing method is unrelyable and will not do the job later into the run. Still, the game is great, and all the criticisms I have for it are small balance issues that every single Roguelike game struggles with in its infancy, which I'm sure will get tackled in future updates.

Very scuffed at the moment, but has really great potential. Personally had no issues with voice detection. Lacks Testicular Torsion spell, but a well-placed Freeze-Fireball combo will work just as well and have your enemies begging for their balls!

Put glitter in my ashes~

A simple yet wholesome, but very short story. The gameplay consists of point-and-click and drag-and-drop segments. I'm not a fan of the soundtrack, but that's solely due to personal preference. The music itself isn't bad, and it fits well with the game. The best part of the game is certainly the art, especially how well and good looking the food is. Also, bonus points for including detailed and genuine real recipes for all the foods after you're done with the game. I'd recommend it for a chill 2 hours, if you're into this kind of game, but maybe not at full price, considering how short it is.

Yeah, it's peak, I'm afraid.

Get it if you hate yourself.
Get it for your friends if you hate loving them.
And always ask yourself, can you cook an egg on top of Mount Everest?

Pretty good overall, but it definitely has its negative quirks, if you are into this type of game, however, I think the positives outweigh the negatives, and it's worth giving it a chance. Combat and parrying are satisfying, the movement is fluid and decent with one exception I'll mention later, and although nothing changes about them throughout the game, they never start to feel boring. The bosses are all unique and a good amount of a challenge, sometimes feeling a bit too challenging, but you get the hang of their attacks and patterns fairly quickly, and with a bit of persistence will understand how to fight them soon after. The visuals are simple but nice, the plot is quite interesting, though there's not a lot to it, and the OST is fantastic.

Now, for the not-so-good parts, the dodge/dash is less than ideal, the distance feels unintuitive, in close combat encounters, it often feels like it's not going the direction you want it to, and the worst part, the dodge is actioned on button release, because the game uses the same button to charge a long dash. This makes dodging have a slight delay that is hard to get used to, and will have you late-dashing or dashing right into damage many times. It gets better with time, but never great.
One other thing, on many occasions, it feels like the game simply doesn't respect your time, in between bosses there are long, empty and painfully slow walks, where you can do nothing but watch the main character walk the slowest walk you've ever seen for minutes with nothing else to do (pressing the dodge button at least makes him walk by himself), also certain boss animations and fight stages feel like nothing but a time waste, that repeat every time you get downed, which will fuel frustration.
