The Supper

-


     I apologize it has been so long since my last post. Work has been insane and I haven't been able to play many games to review. Today is my day off, so I will be doing a couple reviews, to get my post count up.
     The Supper is a short, free point & click game available on STEAM. My attention was first drawn to this game when I saw that YouTuber, MrKravin, had played it. Seeing as how he was the YouTuber that got me into gaming, I knew I just had to play it! Just based off his thumbnail for his play-through, it seemed like a game I'd enjoy. It has the pixelated art style I enjoy, it's point & click, and it has an adorable main protagonist.
     In the game, you play as Ms. Appleton, an elderly woman who runs a restaurant with some unusual dishes. You start off the game with Ms Appleton taking a nap before her customers arrive. You have to prepare for them to get there by lighting candles and making sure the secret sauce is ready (don't worry, you find out the secret towards the end!).
     Soon, 3 odd men arrive at the restaurant with a chest. You're curiosity is aroused. What could be in the chest? Don't worry, you find this out soon enough. Ms. Appleton has been awaiting these men, and serves them each their order with her special sauce.
     Sadly, I can't give many more details about the game, or I may reveal too much and spoil the surprise. All I will say is, there is a twist ending that you may or may not see coming, but it's a perfect ending to this game!
     I really loved a lot about this game. It's short (which is nice when you don't have a ton of time to play), it had a nice soundtrack, the sound made when the characters talk is adorable (in my opinion), it it has a great plot executed so well in a short amount of time.
     The only thing I wish was different was that the game didn't guide you so much. For example, you have to serve the guests in a certain order to progress the game, because once you serve each guest, they give you something you need to serve the next. It's not a huge deal to me, but I've been seeming to find a lot of games like that recently. I also wish the game was longer, due to how much I enjoyed it!
     I highly recommend you check this game out, especially considering that it's FREE! I played it through STEAM, but it's also available on itch.io. If you play, let me know what you think!
Happy Gaming!

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
