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!

This game was created by Shawcat (Programming, writing, design), with the help of Maeve Williams (Art, writing, design) and Tyler (Graphic design, Writing, Design) on Itch.io for Shawcat's 100k Game Jam with the theme of mismatch, which ran from May 17th, 2024 to May 19th, 2024. This game jam gave devs 48 hours to complete their games, which absolutely blows my mind that anyone could do that in such a quick amount of time, even if they were to go without sleep for those hours.

I highly recommend this game if you enjoy puzzles, having to make tough choices, or just want something short to play. This game is only available on PC to play in browser, so it will not work on the app for Itch.io. If you play, let me know your score! Mine was 7/10.

Happy Gaming!

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of posts this past month. There's been a lot of life changes that I'll explain below. No more PC So my PC completely died, like wouldn't charge or anything. Dead, no hope. That's what the professional I took it to said. Thankfully he was able to pull my drive to save all my files and photos, which was my biggest concern. I'm working on finding a new one, but I'm not sure when that will be. Until then, I will be using my Switch and discovering some awesome mobile games! Surgery   So about two weeks ago I had to get carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist. Unfortunately, I'm right handed. Basically, Carpal tunnel surgery, also known as carpal tunnel release, is a procedure that relieves pressure on the median nerve by cutting through the carpal ligament to make more space for the tendons. Due to this surgery, I have to be off for 6 weeks from work. My strength and grip is not very good, due to the procedure and it hurts to over...

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 motionl...

Father's Day Review - Dad Joke Emoji Puzzle

-
*Posting late because my phone decided to not work and I just realized it 🤦🏻‍♀️      In honor of Father's Day, I thought this would be the perfect review! Dad Joke Emoji Puzzle is a super simple game, where you fill in the blanks with emojis to solve the dad joke. Living in a home where both my dad and younger brother breathe dad jokes constantly, this game is fairly simple, and makes me feel right at home. It's not a super in depth game, but it's perfect for a little time killer if you're waiting at the doctor's or just want to unwind before bed. As much as I roll my eyes at my family's dad jokes, I really enjoy this game and recommend it for anyone who loves dad jokes! I know it was a short review, but I couldn't pass up the perfect Father's Day post 😊 Happy Gaming!
