Margo Review

-

 



    This game is adorable! Margo is a free point-and-click game available for free on STEAM. The whole game takes about 30 minutes to complete in the first run through. Any playthrough after that is fairly quick to get through, taking only 10-15 minutes to complete.

    You play as Margo, a girl living on another planet who is dealing with the emotions behind her dearest friend leaving, but also the emotions with battling to tell her friend how she really feels about her. You continue along after dropping your dog off to spend one last night with your friend, meeting several interesting characters on your way to the library. The whole time, you can't help but think about your friend.

    The game is very simple and not very long, with some puzzles, but I recommend playing through at least twice. I played a second time, simply to get an achievement I missed the first time and found so many little details and items I had initially missed.

    The biggest thing I like about this game is the art style. It's cartoonish and trippy and reminds me of the 70s groovy style. The colors are bright, the concept is interesting, it has points that make you think, and it was just a fun little time killer game. I highly recommend this game if you're looking for something to just relax and wind down with after a long day of work or a stressful week.

Sketchy Individuals

  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

  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...

The Town with the Cutest Mayor - Stinkytown

-
Image
       O.M.G! This game has quickly become one of my favorite one shot games. You play as the mayor of Stinkytown, an absolutely adorable possum, simply called Mayor. In this game, Mayor has a really big problem. His whole world has gone grey! It has grown gross and smelly after our poor Mayor had a downward spiral, and it's our job to help clean it up.     To clean each location, you must complete a mini game related to that room. So for example, when cleaning the bedroom, you have to organize the stuffed animals in order to bring the color back to it. It's a super short game, but extremely enjoyable.     The first time I played this game, I thought it was just about a little possum mayor cleaning up his town, but the more I thought about it after the game, I realized that the dev may have had a deeper meaning to it.      Now this may just be me looking into it too much, but I think it's a valid thought for what may be deeper to th...
