A Game & A Warning?

Image
      Hide and Seek with Noah was definitely not what I expected it to be. I knew it was a "horror" game, but it went a horror route that I didn't expect. In this game, you have to help Noah's mom, best friend, and teacher find where the mischievous little bunny is hiding in various scenarios. However, the game takes a dark turn when it turns into an analog horror, which a choice; hide or seek. I won't spoil anything for you, but let's just say if you choose to seek, it takes you down a dark path full of abuse, murder, and kidnapping. It uses FMV (Full Motion Video), which absolutely adds to the raw fear that this simple little game was able to inflict on myself. The feeling of dread and unease that I felt during this felt so strong, as if I was witnessing something I shouldn't be. It had moments where I couldn't help but hold my breath. It takes a lot to make me feel uneasy, but this game was able to accomplish that. Don't let the colors fool you,...

My Shortest Review Ever??

Image
  Okay, this game was not what I expected it to be. I honestly had no idea what I was supposed to do, so I just ran around the map like an idiot until something happened. And something did happen. I was running around, just enjoying the island sun, doing the macarena with other island natives, chasing seagulls, and exploring. I suddenly found myself in a predicament. I was in a volcano... Well, the volcano began to erupt, and my silly self simply sat for the ride, until I got to the top at least. Then I just ran. I ran and ran until I reached the boats. My fellow tribe members ran and screamed and ran and screamed some more. Some couldn't escape the lava flames, while others made it to the boats and we took off. Some of our tribe tried to swim to our boats, but.... it was horrible... the sharks finished them off!  The PTSD for my islander family is painful... and if you too want to suffer from the same PTSD, you too can play Pineapple On Pizza for the low, low price of FREE!

12 Hour Museum

Image
       12 Hour Museum came out when finding anomaly games were extra popular. Normally, I don't care for "find the anomaly" games, but this one caught my interest, as I love museums. You play as an unnamed male, who was knocked out in an accident. He wakes up in this museum and everything seems normal, until nightfall.      The goal is to survive the night by finding the anomaly each hour. You must find the anomaly before time runs out, and find 12 in a row or else you restart the count. There are a total of 45 different anomalies in the game, some being harder to find than others. My favorite ones to find were the ones that changed the paintings.      The game consists of 7 different endings, which are affected by the way you play. Once you find all endings and all 45 anomalies, an extra mode is unlocked and adds 54 additional anomalies. The first playthrough takes about 30 minutes on average, but once you get extras and work on clearin...

My Worst Nightmare: Ocean Desolation

Image
      This game is my worst nightmare in 3D graphics. If you don't know, I have Thalassophobia. Now don't get Thalassophobia and Aquaphobia mixed up. Aquaphobia is the fear of water itself. Thalassophobia is the intense fear of deep bodies of water like lakes, the ocean, and rivers.     In this game, you fall off your ship in a storm. You wake up, floating in the ocean on a wooden raft. In the distance you see a bell buoy. Following the lights you end up back at your raft with a box on it. On top of the box is a letter telling you what needs done. In order to complete the tasks, you need to swim from place to place in the ocean, all while disturbing sounds and invisible creatures stalk your every move.     What scared me about this game is the unknown. You're jumping into the ocean without being able to see anything around you and you have no idea what may be lurking under the depths. I could handle the monsters and creatures that torment the main char...

Terrarium

      Terrarium is a PC game that was recently released on January 10th, 2025. I came across this game on the Cozy Gamer group on Facebook. I instantly fell in love with the graphics, style, and premise of the game.  In this game, you decorate different bottle terrariums. That's it. Super simple. I LOVE games like that and have made several terrariums in my life, but now I get to enjoy doing them virtually! You get 8 slots to create with, and unlock several additional items as you play.     While making terrariums in real life is an amazing experience, it can get pricey at times. I've made one out of a Pokeball, one with flowers I've dried, and several different terrariums for when I raised Isopods and now for my 3 Hermit Crabs.       As I said, they can get expensive to make, especially if it comes to involving real critters. This game is an amazing alternative to pricey terrariums, with a price tag of only $3.99! Better yet, Terrarium ...

31 Days of Spooks: Days 9-18

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 ...
