Esteem: The Little Wolf Saga This game reminds me of an old-school top-down, turn-based RPG. I mean, that is what it is, but still, ah the good old days. There is even the hit action addition to the fighting, but we'll go over that later.  Esteem came out on March 6th of 2025, developed by Ingami Studio. This is their only game. It was published by Dream Stories, who have published other games like Valledi a side-scroller game about a girl and her little drone, Envyus, a top-down RPG game, and quite a few others. Esteem is listed as $9.99 on the Steam store.  I also would like to thank the devs, who gave me the key through a program called Keymailer.  The game Esteem is about a little wolf named Laisa. I had no clue on how to pronounce her name, so in my frustrations I just called her lady. She woke up late, and while exploring, I somehow managed to make her go back to bed. You have to help someone pick plants from a garden and then go on to meet with ...

Tobacco Shop Simulator: Prologue (edited 3/31/2025) Tobacco Shop Simulator is just what you think it is: a shop where you sell Tobacco products and accessories. The game came out on November 1st, 2024, and you can play this prologue for free. The great thing about it is that you don't have to hire employees when you can just invite a friend to play with you. This game can be played by up to 4 players. It was developed and published by Buiness Tycoon. Business Tycoon also makes Retail Company Simulator. Both games are normally $11.99 but are on sale until March 13th, 2025.  Shout out to the devs for suggesting the key through a program called Keymailer. I mean, it's free, but still, I wouldn't have known about it if it hadn't been on Keymailer.  Game play Like most simulator shop games, you have to first set up your shop name and buy stock to fill up your store. This one runs on a buy-a-brand system. So you start off with it making you buy Warblo, and...

Farm TD Are you looking for a chill game or a more intense game? Well, this can kind of be both, depending on what difficulty you play on. Farm TD is a new tower defense game that is coming out in March of 2025. The game was published and developed by R.J. Brontsema, who also did The Little Pixel That Could, which will come out later this year, and The Fanciful Chronicle, which came out in June of 2024. You can play the demo of the game right now! Concept Well, the gist behind the game is that you are to defend your farm from the threat of bugs. You can do that by using your farm animals in their pasture to prevent the bugs from getting to the farm. There are various routes you can choose from, as well as a range of animals that all do different things. Not only do you get coins from defeating bugs, but you can actually plant things in your farms to get coins after taking care of them. They then will be harvestable in a certain amount of rounds. You do have to watch...

Sports: Renovations I ended up getting an email about this game if I was interested in playing it. Because I like games like House Flipper and Powerwash Simulator I thought that it gave off similar vibes so I decided why not? Sports: Renovations was developed by Goat Gamez (which is funny and you will find out later) and published by Dear Villagers. Its Release date is set for March 27th, and I am looking forward to playing the rest of the game for the story.  Story  You start off as a sad lady, watching the news and how they are going to renovate the basketball community center which was the home of The Goats. (See told you!) A basketball team that was great until they sold off their best players and then they weren't so great from what I pieced together from the story. You decided to take matters into your own hands somehow because I guess you are just that powerful of a lady, and renovate the beast of a project. The starting point is, to help others in n...

Gah! This dungeon crawler roguelite game is a game you will want to keep playing out of achievement or out of spite. Gah! was developed and published by Jasio Games and is set to release in September 2024.  Gameplay There are 6 playable characters three of which you will have to unlock. So you'll start with the choice of Sorcerer, King, or Rouge. The sorcerer can only use light armor and staves, the king can use anything, and the rouge can use light armor and bows.  You start with a basic weapon, it's by chance or by buying in town you'll get new armor or weapons. As you level up you'll get the choice between 3 stats and two skills. The skills are random so sometimes you might get the things you want while sometimes you might not get anything you would use. You can also pick something that you already used to level it up further. If of course, it's one of the choices. The stats are intelligence, endurance, and strength.  You have 4 skill buttons ...

Factory Outlet Simulator Very similar to a lot of the games I've been playing recently this is a simulator game. In this one you not only make but you also run a shop to sell the times. Factory Outlet Simulator came out in July of this year and was developed and published by PISHO.   Gameplay With Factory Outlet Simulator or FOS as we'll call it from now on. It starts you off by making your shop sign name and buying some beginning items. A factory machine is for making your products, a shelf to sell your products, and then the materials to make the products.  Making your products before selling them was an interesting concept and the time continues. You can choose to skip the night but why when that time can be utilized to make more products? I guess it would be beneficial if you need more money. The good thing is when completing tasks your time for those tasks doesn't go down if you skip through the day.  What kind of tasks do you ask? Well not o...

Boop This is a very cute 2 player cat game. It came out in 2022 and has won a few awards and nominees. It's something that you could play round after round and also great for kids.  Gameplay When I started to learn this game it made me think of that old nursery rhyme. No more monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head. The strategy of the game is to get 3 cats in a row. But you start off with kittens.  The box turns upside down and is converted into a bed, with a pillow top. This is your playspace which is small pillow squares of goodness for your kittens. Now you start with 8 kittens each playing a kitten one by one. If you place your kitten next to another it boops it one space away from your kitten. Your kitten can only boop the ones right next to it, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. It does not cause a chain boop reaction and if there is a cat or kitten in the way it doesn't also move those.   Kittens can not boop cats, o...
