Stray Cats in Cozy Town + Purrr

Image
     Stray Cats in a Cozy Town is a super cute hidden item game where your goal is to find all the kitties hidden around town. You can also search for water buckets to make sure the cats all stay hydrated. This game took me about an hours to complete (there's ALOT of cats).      This game is free to play on STEAM, but does have a paid DLC called Night Lights, where all the proceeds go to helping stray cats. The DLC is about $2.00, so for skipping Starbucks for even just 1 day, you can help a stray kitty AND get a absolutely adorable game! Overall, this game may not have much to it, with being a find it game, but it is a treasured addition to the hidden cats game genre! There are so many hidden cat games out there that it has become its own full genre now. Most are free to play, with paid DLCs or additional content. It's a genre that I hadn't been 100% sold on at the start, but the more I've been playing them, the more they have grown on me, especially when ...

Sketchy Individuals

Image
  https://shawcat.itch.io/sketchy-individuals My husband and I came across this game when we saw it pop up in a YouTube video. We watched through the first level before we both realized we wanted to play it. It strongly reminded me of the game Fingered, which I've reviewed in an earlier post. In this game, you play as a police sketch artist, tasked with drawing the criminals described by their victims. Don't worry, there's no actual drawing involved haha. You go through each description, picking the option that best fits with what the victim says, then looking at the line up to best match your drawing. There are 10 levels, each progressively getting harder and harder. What bothered me the most was that it didn't tell you if you got the person right or wrong at the end of each level. At the end of the game, you find out how many you got wrong and how many you got right. The whole playthrough took me about 15 - 20 minutes in total, so relatively short, but lots of fun! Th...

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 fiancĂ©, 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

Image
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...
