balatro for people who chainsmoke american spirit blacks

It looks bad even on the highest settings, its a massive resource hog, its barely play-tested and comically railroaded all with the massive gall to bombard you with in app purchases.

Skatings pretty fun although it is significantly worse than any skate or tony hawk game.

I'm not getting a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PSN account

PS1 style combined with proximity voice chat is a match made in heaven

For free, this is a fantastic chunk of horror games. The sound design and art style are incredible and the aesthetics and environments are fantastic.

Game 1: Tartarus Engine

I really like the story-telling in this one, the feeling that you're only one piece of a moving system. The ending was kind of confusing? I don't really know if there is multiple endings but if there is i think i got the right one? I'm not sure. This was much more an experience then a horror game in my opinion

Game 2: The Other Side

Very short and sweet. I love the usage of the dark entrance behind you making you paranoid 24/7. If I had one complaint is that when security started coming, the door to the oil and coolant got stuck making it impossible to progress. Other than that it was pretty enjoyable.

Game 3: Control Room Alpha

As an arachnophobe my brain has already subconsciously blocked out this game from my memory which makes me think it did a good job of being a horror game.

Game 4: Carbon Steel

Probably my favorite game of the bunch. The needless complexity and the constant belching of the monster makes for an amazing horror environment. I'd be lying if i said the game play wasn't enjoyable either, although that may be from my enjoyment of complex horror games (such as signal simulator).

Game 5: Concrete Tremor

I absolutely LOVED the ambient environments in this game. The entirety of it felt like some lost lo-fi soviet b-movie. The game of battleship at the end was a little confusing at first and i'm not entirely sure it's beatable either. regardless I still had a good time

Overall fantastic set of games and i'm definitely going to be looking forward to the creators next work

Chilla's Art: The Convenience Store

This one being a bit more scare heavy than the others definitely shocked me playing through it the first time as normally chilla's isn't one to do a cheap scare. That being said I really enjoyed this one. The stores mood is uncomfortable but still acts as a place of rest, I'd compare it to The Closing Shift but that game felt way more homey in the working sections. Overall very spooky! I actually had to have a friend in the call with me because I couldn't finish it by myself (not that I didn't know what to do I'm just a ♥♥♥♥♥.)

Chilla's Art: The Closing Shift

One of, if not, my favorite indie horror game of all time. The only Chilla's art game I had seen before and playing it lived up to all of my expectations for it. The scenario of being stalked is horrifying, unique, and painfully realistic and it executes this scenario perfectly.

10/10

Chilla's Art: Ghost Train

This one is unique due to the fact the horror of this one isn't built on ambient dread but rather a descent into chaos. Starting this game I was kinda disappointed as the dreadful environments found on previous installments were not present and I felt pretty at ease. With each passing day however I found myself wishing it be over, not due to it's lack of quality but due to the increasing amount of unease I felt. Fantastic experience.

Chilla's Art 1: The Caregiver

I'm gonna be reviewing each of the J-Horror Chilla's art in alphabetical order.

This game was horrifying. Almost anytime I needed to go to a new area or talk to the old man I had to fight my raw fear to actually get it done and not just Alt-F4. There are points where it's confusing on where to go or what to do and the ending is a bit frustrating but in terms of concept and execution this game is mortifying.
