    A cute, short story-adventure game that I bought very cheaply on steam. Nothing mind-blowing, but it looked nice, had an ok soundtrack and kept me entertained for it's 3+ hour runtime.

    The Exit 8 (PC)

    Walking through a nicely rendered Japanese subway style corridor to find your exit, you follow the signs and turn the corner and suddenly you're back where you started - the same corridor, the same commuter walking past you.

    Your aim is to find exit 8 to get out, to do this you have to walk down the passage and look out for "anomalies", if you see something unusual turn around and go back the other way, and the number on the exit sign will go up until you get to 8. Do it wrong and it resets.

     

    The anomalies vary from slightly spooky, to silly to very subtle. It's very a simple environment, very nicely rendered. An enjoyable, cheap little experience, just the right length.

    This was free on Epic this week. I fancied something I could do in a sitting.

    The game is an autorunner, something I haven't played in a while. Normal difficulty isn't particularly challenging and took about 1h20 to finish, it's pretty good about signalling what kind of obstacle is coming up. It's a decent game, would probably be more fun on a higher difficulty.

    The soundtrack is great, hip-hop with a bit of jazz and rock influence thrown in.

  4. I played the demo. The visuals are great, and the the music & voice acting are very good.

    It seems like a very traditional adventure game. The demo definitely had me wanting to see more of the story.

    It changes genres from Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion which was a Zelda style game, this time it's more of a run-based thing (but the basic map layout doesn't change).

    The combat is much better than the previous game. It's short enough that it doesn't get repetitive, helped by the fact that you're completing a side task or moving the story on every couple of runs.

    I saw on Digital Foundry there's a mod you can download that adds FSR3 (AMD's frame generation tech) in to RTX cards. Meaning that if you have a 30 series card, as I do, you can use that because I can't run DLSS3, and then play things path traced or just get a better frame rate when using RT 

     

    I used this on Cyberpunk2077, it made a big difference to framerates in the city sections on my 3070Ti.

    I don't remember how I got this game, but I wanted something to play and filtered my Steam library by installed games and picked this. I don't think it got reviewed in many places, but it appears well received on Steam.

     

    It's a short, inexpensive, isometric-ish stealth-puzzle game. You're a thief tasked with breaking into properties, avoiding guards, disabling security alarms and cameras, breaking into safes etc. and getting out with whatever the objective was.

     

    Apart from one unintuitive section - where the solution to getting into a building involved leaving the level and finding something in your home base area (the first and only time the game required you to do something like that) - working out how to complete a job was quite fun. I enjoyed my time with it.

    Home Safety Hotline (PC)

    An Analogue Horror, user interface simulator type affair. You're a new hire at the titular helpline, where you answer calls from users and browse a catalogue of articles on a 1990's style computer interface to try and figure out the issue they're having and submit it as your answer. The first day is ordinary enough, but as each day passes things get stranger. The calls are about weird phenomenon, new articles unlock on subjects such as goblins, fae, creatures that watch you in the night, or "Bed Teeth".

     

    It's 2-3 hours long, and the "horror" is more the discovering there are unreal things out there variety than the jumpscares or gore kind. The entries in the catalogue are well written and fun to browse through, and although I don't think it really nailed the ending, I had a great time playing.

  9. I finished it yesterday. It's a really nice, relaxing experience. 

    I didn't go looking for everything on each chapter, just enjoyed the climbing and sound and visuals.

  10. Finished it today (got credits, I haven't done the added content).

     

    It's nice and competently made, but to borrow a term it didn't blow my tits off. It's short, but never kept my interest long enough to do any of the 3 worlds in a single session. It feels like something that would have come out in the late PS1 or early PS2 period, and would have been a 7/10 game in mags and the websites at the time. Sometimes they're gems, sometimes they're alright. This was alright, and cost me less than the coffee I had at lunchtime.

  11. I finished it today, I've had a great time with it. As you advance it keeps adding new objectives and things to do so the gameplay loop doesn't get stale.

     

    I got to the final section at the weekend but had put it off to complete some side objectives, but it puts you back on the water after the end and seems like you can carry on where you left off.

     

    There's a free DLC crossover content with Dredge on Steam, but I haven't played that yet, so haven't looked into it.

  12. I played 30-ish minutes of it via game pass before the Christmas break, but it didn't grab me. I also had an issue that I couldn't fix where there was no sound, which did detract from the experience a bit.
