First Look: Broken Shell Demo

Image
  Broken Shell is a game with a to-be-determined release date. You play as Mr. Hermit Crab, following the story of him and his wife, Mrs. Hermit Crab. The story begins with the couple meeting in a little coral field, when you accidentally crack your beloved wife's shell. She's very upset, but you are able to make her feel better by giving her a flower. From there you solve puzzles to progress the story, helping other adorable characters along the way. One of my favorite characters was Blob fish! The art style is what originally drew me in. I'm a sucker for cutesy, colorful artwork like the devs used for this game. I searched for hermit crab games, because my husband and I adopted 3 precious hermit crabs yesterday. Wyn, Riv'n, and Vesper and we are absolutely in love with them! Since they're my gaming buddies, I wanted to play a game that was about hermit crabs. Unfortunately, there's not very many hermit crab games, but with Broken Shell coming out, I can...

Little Kitty, Big City

Image
  Hey guys! I'm sorry for such a long hiatus, but what better way to welcome the new year than with a new review! Today I'll be looking at Little Kitty, Big City, a game that I painfully underestimated. Sorry little kitty, I shouldn't have doubted you. I saw a bunch of raving reviews for this game, but in screenshots and gameplay I saw, it didn't seem that great. However, I eventually gave in and tried it. I'm so glad I did! You play as this sweet kitty and go on a massive adventure! Your story starts at home, like most stories do, sunbathing in your favorite spot. You doze off and, unfortunately, roll off the rooftop. Thankfully, you're a cat! You land on your feet, but you're all the way down on the street. Looking up at the massive building, you know you have to get back up. You meet a crow, who is like a guide for you, as well as a variety of other character like a family of ducks, multiple other cats, and even a raccoon scientist! You have to collect fi...

31 Days of Spooks: Day 19 & 20

Image
Hi everyone, you don’t know who I am, but I am Vaytorra Kierst’s fiancé, and she’s been struggling keeping up with the 31 days of spooks, so I’m going to try and help out. I chose to play The WereCleaner; it’s a short game where you’re a janitor who works at an office building with your trusty water sprayer and vacuum to clean up messes. Rent is due soon, so you’re working extra. But what’s this? You have to work mandatory unpaid overtime at night. Doesn’t seem too bad, but did I mention you’re a werewolf? While running around cleaning, you have to now avoid the other workers at night. If caught, you go into a bloodthirsty rampage and kill them. You now can pick up or eat the body. By eating it, you make a mess and have to clean it up. You do have a timer for each level, so don’t slack too much. Also, Daryl, the security guard, knows something is up if it’s an animal or a beast in the office. He doesn’t know it’s you, but he’s determined to find out. The game consists of seven levels, ...

31 Days of Spooks: Days 9-18

Hey guys, I'm so sorry I missed so many days... Things have been crazy with family birthdays, bridal shower, a new job, and more. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up after this post!  9th - Cooking Mama https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/470028 Cooking Mama is known world wide and is an amazing game based around cooking. Well, this version is a little different. This Cooking Mama game has a dark twist where you're preparing a turkey and gravey. This game was created by PETA, so that should say something about the content. Personally, I liked this game. I was first introduced to it when I saw Jacksepticeye play it. Some parts of it were more difficult, especially with the timer, but overall, it's a nice little homage to the Cooking Mama franchise. 10th - Little Bus Ride of Horror https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/443368 So my dumb brain thought that this was a game. I was wrong. Turns out it is actually a little comic book. I already had it written into the plan ...

31 Days of Spooks: Day 8 - Nocturnal Visit

Image
       https://moi0210.itch.io/nocturnal-visit Hey all! Thanks for joining me for day 8 of 31 Days of Spooks! Today we're going over the free to play game, available on itch.io, Nocturnal Visit. This game is super short, but super fun and creepy. Using PS1 style graphics, this game is already one I recommend if you're looking for a quick time killer that is fun and spooky! In Nocturnal Visit, you play as an adventure blogger, who is looking for the next big blog post. You come across an article about an abandoned house that was previously inhabited by multiple serial killers over the years. It's settled, that's where you're going to go. You head out to the house with your flashlight, camera, and adventurous spirit in tow. Unable to enter the front door, you have to find another way in, and once you do so, strange things start to happen. You hear strange noises as you explore the home and creep around every corner, unsure of what the next room may hold. I can't g...

31 Days of Spooks: Days 5, 6, & 7

 I'm sorry for the multiple days combined. Like I said before, this month is full of lots of chaos and changes, but I will hit 31 days, they may just not be separate. Thanks for understanding! Alright, so I was excited to play this game. It looked really spooky and kinda reminded me of analog horror. However, my hopes and dreams for what this game would be were dashed when they brought in the blob.....Well, this blob was apparently voiced by Ash-Plays, and oh my gosh, it ended up being awful. It went from a game that spooked me a little bit, to a game that I couldn't wait to end. There is an epilepsy warning given, and rightfully so. I ended up walk inga way from this game with a pounding headache. I'll like the game below, but take my advice... skip this one! https://linsonlime.itch.io/antipathy That Night in the Rain is a very short horror point and click, with absolutely adorable graphics. You play as a little girl who is supposed to wait in her parent's car while th...

31 Days of Spooks: Day 4 - Please Answer Carefully

Image
  Hey guys! Welcome to day 4 of our 31 Days of Spooks! Today's game is a short horror survey game called Please Answer Carefully. It was a short, simple, and yet creepy game made in 24 hours. The front screen says that it takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete, but it's closer to 5 minutes or less. I think my playthrough took about 4 minutes, but I also read pretty fast.  The game does come with a content warning about being themed around a stalker. Rather than jump scares, this game uses audio to unsettle the players. Personally, I think that audio scares are creepier than jump scares. There's just something about the way that the audio hits. It's unsettling, and unnerving to say the least. Speaking of spooks, this game also uses forced typing. If you don't know, forced typing is when the game allows you to type, but the text it wants is already programmed into it. For example, this game asked me to tell them I miss them, I tried to type no, but it changed the text to w...
