Beautiful small open-world sokoban game. The difficulty level is mostly moderate with some tougher ones thrown in. Most of the difficulty is not in the pathing variety but in the variety of blocks and terrain tiles. It's easy to miss a detail about how a certain block can be used and how each interacts with the terrain.

Completing each area gives you another ability and you are mostly led through by which areas you can get to next. Get the deer before trying the otter area.

Undo and world map, game can be saved and restored on any screen. Music is pleasant and not overbearing. The story is simple yet rewarding. Also it's free.

Nice little hidden object game with fun sci fi futurist art. Nothing too difficult or unfair. Each set of 2 pictures has a way to get from one to the other which is a fun extra. Nice for an hour or two in a comic book sci fi world filled with cats.

Atmospheric story with inventory puzzles and ciphers with useful features: a camera you use to take pictures of clue patterns. Well developed hints that usefully tell you if you can solve something yet or not. Visuals and sound are good.

Fun little point and click game with lots of cat and dog humor, cameos from other animal detectives. The story isn't particularly deep but it moves the action of the game along. It's more zany than serious, with lots of detective novel tropes. Puzzles on the easy side for a point and click, which is nice. Not getting bogged down in a walkthrough just to continue the game is refreshing for this genre.

The interface is a bit cryptic and it can be hard to tell why a certain dialogue or clue option appears but it's never too confusing. Would be nice to have fast travel from within areas that are several screens long, not just from the entry screen. Collectibles throughout to complete an album of sports cards. The music is low key yet strangely memorable.

Looking forward to the sequel, which features the same characters in a top-down style.

Recommended when you want a light point and click with some humor and without any of those puzzles that make you want to give up on the genre.

I didn't really get into this at the start but then it became quite fun. The first mission is just finding the perfect ramen recipe for the townfolk, but it sets the background for the more interesting missions that follow. All the missions can be finished in a few hours and the theme is casual. Individual missions run about an hour or less. The color scheme is soft and the visuals are cute. Nice when you want a simulator that doesn't take hours to build up and is easy to learn.

Nice little hidden object game. Background is light-colored instead of white, which is appreciated.

This is decent cyber punk themed game. I liked parts of it, particularly the middle. The main character is... not that likeable. A lot of the game is just trying to ruin things for the npcs, to attain some personal goal. Around the middle this changes to ruining things for a collective and worthy goal but all the same it doesn't feel great walking around as this sort of creep. The settings are interesting particularly as the game moves on from a generic cyberpunk city to several other locales.
I played through the first time on the story mode and didn't feel that I could review it fairly, s the devs recommend playing the original version. I played partway through the original version and did enjoy it more, but not enough to want to complete the main storyline for a second time.

One of the better cyberpunk pixel games around. The world-building is there and the level of detail great. Just feels like viewing this world from the perspective of a jaded hipster. The 'humor' is mostly mean or just not there. This doesn't bother everybody so there's a good chance of any cyberpunk fan enjoying the game.

Of the few cyberpunk themed games that I've played, I ended up liking this one best. The atmosphere is a bit more interesting and unique than some others. The setting is a futuristic version of Japan, with traditional and advanced elements combined in an interesting way. The main character is edgy as you'd expect, but not outright obnoxious. The puzzles are pretty standard for a point and click game but that's not really why you play this type of game after all. The dialogues are not too long and the game doesn't overstay its welcome, taking only a few hours to finish. There is just enough character development but not so much that you want to skip it. It feels like a chapter in a series, and I would enjoy seeing more games set in this world with these characters. Also there's a character who seems to have vitiligo which is a condition I've not seen included in a game character before.

The first part of the game takes place in a crowded, humid city. The second part is in a cold, desolate abandoned town. Its a nice contrast, and not overdone. The 'choice' in the middle of the game only changes a few dialogues. The ending sequence is in a different kind of environment which I won't spoil. There are three endings with a short sequence each, and its easy to save near the end to see all three.

There are hidden objects to find, about one per screen, as well as a few places in the game where you can clean up graffiti to collect an achievement.

I could complain about things that I haven't liked in other cyberpunk games that I've played or watched videos of, but it's all down to personal taste with a genre that is so steeped in atmosphere. I just happened to really like this one and found it had the right tone and world-building for my tastes. YMMV of course.

A small cartoonlike point and click game with a story that is somewhat dark in spots but overall feels more like magic realism than horror. there is a lot of silly comedy and odd dialogues, which makes it fun to wander around in the environment and interact with things.

There are several endings, one of which can only be reached after getting another one. To finish the game and the differnt endings you'll probably need a walkthrough. There is nothing really hard to figure out except near the end, where you have to combine things in a certain order.

Lots of extra achievements for doing various extra things. The endings themselves don't have achievements, nor do many of the main story points. I had trouble getting a few of them and didn't quite 100%.

It's playful and not that serious. Great when you want a small game with some mysteries and humor in a cartoon setting.

A very silly and funny game. You compete to build 10 snowmen with a time limit on each round. Easy to play in one sitting, with some small story between each round. Nice for a winter break, if you want something light.
