Five Flash Games
Image result for five    
     So I haven't had a ton of time to play games recently, with work and all (YAY ADULTING!). So before work today I played a s few short online flash games available for free to the public. These games will be rated 1-5, five being my least favorite. Enjoy!


5: Nightmares of Leia Ray

      Nightmares of Leia Ray is a game that is available on several online sites. It's a short indie game developed by Luka_M, about a young woman, Leia. Leia was a young woman who was a victim of a car crash. The game practically plays out her visions/dreams just before she passes. However, that's not what my thoughts were. 
     I honestly, at first glance, thought the game was about a much graver topic; child abuse. This is my opinion, judging from the visuals, as well as notes and other things you have to interact with. The dark and twisted imagery is simultaneously beautiful, but has an unnerving effect.
     Since I'm doing reviews of five games, I do have to keep things short and sweet. Overall, Nightmares of Leia Ray is a game that is pleasing to the eye, and disturbing to the senses. If you enjoy short point & click games, with some jump scares, this is the game for you!


4: Crazy Circus Game

     Now this is game is a gem I just randomly stumbled upon. Crazy Circus Game was developed by Sour Apple Studios (you'll see her again on this list). This game was not what I was expecting it to be. It's another point & click game, and also like a choose your own adventure. Your goal is to find all the hidden endings. That's it. A choose your own adventure and get all the endings.
     This game had beautiful colors, and cute graphics. You can easily tell a lot of love, time, and effort was put into this short and simple game. If you're looking for a game to just kill some time with, or you're curious about all the endings, this game is for you!


3: Seven Days in Purgatory

     Seven days in purgatory is basically a cheap, cute version of Papers, Please. It is absolutely adorable, with bright colors and cute characters! The basis of the game is very simple; choose if a person goes to heaven or hell. Your goal is to send them to the correct place, based on the paperwork brought with them. Progressively, each day gets harder.
     I think my favorite thing about this game is the adorable characters, even death is cute! If you've played Papers, Please and enjoyed it, or just want something similar to try, I highly suggest this game!


2: Short and Sweet

     Okay, so I'd be lying if I didn't say that I didn't play this game like five times in a row. It literally takes less than five minutes to play, and managed to creep me out and make me laugh within that short period of time.
     Short and Sweet is another game made by Sour Apple Studios. Her artistic abilities are even more evident in this game. The graphics are smooth, and the way she brings the creep with the cute, it's a perfect mix! The only difference I wish, was that it was longer. But then we couldn't call it Short and Sweet, could we? I beg of you, please, PLEASE check this game out. It's absolutely wonderful!


1: 21 Rooms

     21 Rooms... This game was so much more than I expected it to be. Usually I don't play games that use real photos in the background. I've just never liked them, and the ones I had played were awful, to say the least. 21 Rooms was completely different. In this game, you are challenged to a game by a mysterious stranger. You are invited to the stranger's hotel, where you have to survive 21 days, locked inside, with a deranged killer.
     The game is a point and click, choose your action game. Each choice affects what happens each day and how/if you are found by the killer. You have to keep your game self rested and full by finding the unlocked rooms and resting, or by searching for food. 
     If you do happen to run into the killer, you are given a set time to escape.If you do not hide within the allotted time span, it's game over. Being rested and fed affects the amount of time you have to escape the killer. The better you take care of yourself, the better your chances of survival.
     This game was absolutely beautiful in the photography used as the backdrops, and the choices you are given can cause extreme stress, as you try and survive the grueling 21 days. I lasted 18 days before the killer caught me. I highly recommend playing this game, even if it's not really your style, you may be surprised, just like I was!

Hope Lake: What Happened at this Boarding School?

      Hope Lake is a point-and-click adventure about a mystery surrounding the disappearances of girls from the boarding school, several years after the school had been abandoned and the girls grown up. The untimely death of the Governess plays a key role in finding out the mystery of the missing girls. You play as Detective Kelly Wells, who is determined to figure out what is going on.     I personally LOVED this game. Normally I don't enjoy hidden item games, but the way they use that mixed with how they also include puzzles and mystery makes for a great game. Some of the puzzles were easy, some had mild difficulty, and then there were 2-3 that I needed help on. Thankfully my boyfriend is better at certain puzzles than I am and was able to help me with those extra difficult ones.     I really enjoyed the storyline as well. It took twists and turns that I wasn't expecting and built up the world to make a very immersive for the whole experience. The whole experience took me abo

A Game Like No Other...

       Available for free on PS4, PS5, Epic Games, and STEAM, The Light in the Darkness is a dark and educational game developed by Luc Bernard. Bernard has a mission to remind people of the events of the Holocaust, so that the victims and history are not forgotten. Bernard's grandmother was actually a caretaker who looked after children who came off the Kindertransport in the UK.      The Kindertransport is German for "Children Transport". The UK took nearly 10,000 children, most who were Jewish, from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Free City of Danzing. These children were taken from Nazi controlled territories during the 9 months before the start of WW2. Often times these children were the only survivors of their family following the Holocaust.                  Why I Made It: Luc Bernard, Director of The Light in the Darkness (mopop.org)     This being said, it's understandable that Bernard wants to educate people on this historical event that aff

Times Gamers Passed Unexpectedly

    So in my last post, I talked about horrible crimes associated with video games. Well, I've decided to explore the other dark side of that; unexpected deaths. This post will mostly be focusing on untimely deaths of beloved gamers, due to video games. I will only be covering a small handful of these cases, but you can easily find other cases online. Again, a trigger warning is in place for this post, as it still contains content that some readers may find distressing. Also, if you read any, read Calvin Riley's case. You may just be able to help bring an unknown killer to justice. Hsieh     Hsieh, his surname, was a 32 year old gamer from Taiwan. He lived in the second largest city, Kaohsiung. He spent much of his time at internet cafes, and his family stated that he often would disappear for 2-3 days to spend time at these cafes, as he was unemployed and felt this was the only place he could go. Unfortunately, in 2015, a staff member at the café found Hsieh motionless, at one
