The Real Face of a VTuber review

Hello everyone hows it going today I wanna talk to you about my first ever murder mystery game called The Real Face of a VTuber. But first huge thank you to Lilien Games for sending me a copy to check out hugely appreciated so let’s dive in.

As I said this is my first murder mystery game so honestly I wasnt sure what expectations to have or what to look for so I went in blind and im glad I did the game is a blast and so detailed in its experience and the tutorial isnt in your face it blends with the game as a natural part of conversation it was perfectly done and impressed me from the start.

So players take on the role of a prosecutor by the name of Justin Truth who’s sole mission is to figure out who murdered our victim and to bring justice to the departed so justice we shall bring.

So im guessing more murder mystery games are similar in theres a lot and I mean a lot of dialog and reading which honestly im fine with it feels like a novel and the mystery is just getting juicy.
So the victim owns the company where everyone will be interrogated and its your job to determine which employee did it and how, now this game has multiple endings that means you will be playing more then once for a complete story and im not complaining one bit this game hooks its claws into you as soon as you start getting into the main story.

The gameplay is simple and smooth I haven’t had any issues the whole time ive been playing the graphics are similar to a visual novel game so the colors are great nothing is over done.

So your job find the murderer but you also get a bonus in you must find out who is the face of the vtuber who was employed at the company you will interrogate and check evidence cross examine everyone and everything find out who’s lying and telling the truth and trust me this part is hard cause I already have a few people I dont like in the game and I wanna blame them so bad but im trying not to be biased.

I haven’t come across any bugs except one of the achievements didnt pop up for me but other then that the game is solid and fun.

Im sorry this review isnt up to par ive never played a murder mystery game so I dont have anything to go by but I will say this the game is fun the details are insane and makes you wanna play more non stop so please pick up the real face of a vtuber and experience for yourself thank you all have a great day and game on.

Super Alloy Crush Demo

Super alloy crush is what you get when old school megaman is a huge inspiration, I wanna thank the team at Alloy Mushroom for sending me a demo code to check out let’s talk about it.

So the demo is short in total it took me 51 minutes to beat both characters which isnt bad but I kinda expected a bit more but its a demo so I understand.

Super Alloy Crush is a rougelite brawler that takes huge inspiration from classic megaman side scrollers. You play as 1 of 2 characters Kelly or Muu to battle evil doers. Kelly is the range character using guns, grenades and other specials to dish out damage he wasnt so bad but I couldn’t mesh with him I died once in the demo using him but that was mostly do to my own carelessness. His gun play is solid but you will struggle with boss battles considering all the jumping you have to do. Muu is the close combat expert and my favorite of the 2 characters. She gives off the classic wolverine aggressive feel with her play style using what im guessing are plasma claws or electric not sure hard to tell she charges into combat driven by combos and damage and made the demo much easier then her counter part Kelly.

During the demo the levels felt amazing the combat felt solid the variety in enermies was great and the boss battles were intense as enemies spawned to help the boss.

The demo closed out with a bit of the bullet hell rougelite im used to and it was fun I had a blast and cant wait to experience more of this game when it releases.

So if your a fan of megaman rougelites brawlers and Co op games check out super alloy crush with its awesome crt filters for the classic vibes and its great level exploration this game has huge potential and I cant wait tonsee its release, thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Masters of Albion

Build By Day, Defend By Night. A God Game Reimagined – Watch the Action Unfold in the New Release Date Trailer HERE

Guildford, UK – January 12, 2026 – 22cans, led by legendary game creator Peter Molyneux, today announced that Masters of Albion will launch on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 at 18:00 BST, exclusively on PC via Steam. A brand-new release date trailer showcases the game’s unique blend of cosy creativity by day and brutal survival by night.Built by a team that includes legends of the industry, Mark Healey, Russell Shaw, Iain Wright and Kareem Ettouney, who were key in developing Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable, Masters of Albion reimagines the god game for today. Blending strategy, simulation, town management, and real-time defence, the game gives players extraordinary freedom to play the game the way they want to play it.Taking inspiration from some of Peter’s classic titles, Masters of Albion is a return to form, blending gameplay mechanics from multiple genres, strategy with simulation, town management with defence, to reinvigorate the god game, and give players the power and freedom to create.

Or destroy…

Said Peter Molyneux:
“Masters of Albion is the culmination of my life’s work, a game that owes so much to titles like Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable. It’s a totally unique game that we hope will delight players, a game that brings God Games into the modern gaming landscape and puts the genre firmly back on the map.”

Albion, a land shaped by the hands of heroes, is at a great turning point in its history. Its lords and luminaries have pulled Albion’s society into a new age of manufacturing and production, a golden era, an industrial revolution. But behind this modernisation lurks a painful past of magic and mayhem, one that threatens to drag Albion back into a dark age of mysticism.

Shape the world from above as a god or step directly into it by possessing heroes, workers, animals and more.

Masters of Albion mixes strategy, simulation, town management, and real-time defence, all woven into a rich narrative-driven world.

“Some are born with power, some achieve power, and some have great power thrust upon them.”

Build, Create, and Customise

As a god, you have absolute freedom over your towns and villages:

• Design and build every structure
• Hire, house and manage your workforce
• Customise buildings with paint, patterns and embellishments
• Combine building types into unique multi-purpose structures
• No timers or waiting, build instantly and iterate freely

From small workshops to sprawling towns, Albion grows exactly how you decide.

Wield the Power of the God Hand
Command the world with ancient powers:

• Manipulate buildings and objects freely
• Possess and control the living
• Inspire, reward, insult, or punish your people
• Throw giant boulders, spiked balls, exploding barrels or just plain old-fashioned people
• Rain lightning, fire and destruction down upon your enemies
• Shape Albion with absolute authority

Enjoy the freedom that being a god brings, but with great freedom comes great responsibility.

Roam Freely Across Albion
Experience the world from multiple perspectives:

• View Albion from the heavens or possess living beings to explore on foot
• Control heroes, dogs, workers and even chickens
• Complete quests to unlock treasures and secrets
• Delve into dangerous underground cave networks
• Craft weapons and armour for your heroes
• Design the clothes that your workers wear (however bizarre)
• Explore, experiment and uncover the forgotten history of Albion

Defend the Night
When night falls, Albion is no longer safe. Malevolent creatures emerge from the darkness, attacking towns and killing indiscriminately. Survival depends on preparation and decisive action:

• Design, build and arm powerful defensive turrets
• Hire heroes to protect the people
• Escort the vulnerable through the terrors of the night
• Construct walls, choke points, and deadly defences
• Channel enemies into carefully planned kill zones
• Use god powers to strike fear into the undead
• Possess heroes and fight enemies directly in real-time combat

Each night tests your planning, creativity, and resolve.

Key Themes
• Power and responsibility
• Industry versus ancient magic
• Freedom of choice and consequence
• Cosy creativity contrasted with chaos and danger

Players can enjoy the freedom that comes with being a God by Wishlisting the game now via Steam ahead of its release on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

Blightstone

Hello everyone today we get to talk about Blightstone a dark fantasy turned based action rougelike but first huge thank you to Unfinished Pixel for sending me a review copy its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in.

At first I thought this was a squad based bullet hell game thats was my mistake I didnt read the email properly my mistake but what I got was so much better and a lot more tactical where every move you make is life or death and choices mean everything.

So what is blightstone its an dark medieval fantasy turned based rougelite rpg thats straight from the email so we all know rpg’s have great story and this is no exception and the story starts at the tutorial. Yes thank lord there’s an actual legit tutorial that gives you a break down of the characters how to move what to watch and check every skill. Truly thank you Unfinished Pixel for this and the fact its right at the main menu under its own section meaning you can play it at anytime to brush up is even better in my opinion.

Players will lead a small party of great warriors on a journey that transcends time itself as you must take a living crystal thats bound to you by fate to the end of the world, every run every failure every mistake is another scar that dooms our world to end untimely, but wait every run also is met by a chance at victory which brings a chance at a new build new skills new gear all while the chaotic world around you is swallowed by darkness.

Here’s a small excerpt from the email.

In the world of the Blightstone you’ll find deep strategy, blended seamlessly with roguelike progression. Your mission? To protect the Earthglass Crystal, and deliver it to the Infernal Rift. Only by doing this will you be able to destroy the demon overlord Korghul, and shatter the Blightstone itself.

So that crystal thats follows you around is key to saving the world but can we save it and at what cost you see this is where the game transcends time as everytime you die well I cant spoil it you will have to play to find out.

The combat is great even for a turned based game and even better if the fact the environment works both for you and against you either by having a wall blocking your aim or a fire barrel near the enemy primed for a spell to set it off make sure you study your surroundings before you start the fight every detail is a small aid to victory.

Heros come to your aid along your journey you will find others to aid you in the fight against evil so dont worry your not alone the world will answer.

The map is probably my favorite part you get to choose the path you want theres multiple points of interest and combat and every so often you camp out at night in hopes of healing a bit before you continue.
All in all Unfinished Pixel has a great gem here and the polish is insane the game feels buttery smooth and the story even tho the main good guy pisses me off is interesting and will draw you in to continue playing so pick up blightstone for 15.99 its worth it for the replay ability alone thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Gedonia 2

First I wanna thank Kazakov Oleg for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated um let’s dive in i guess.

This review is hard for me to write I wanted to enjoy the game but I just couldn’t enjoy it after a few hours playing it I knew it wasnt for me.

The Good

The game has simple graphics nothing over demanding kinda reminds me a bit like borderlands with the style they used just a bit more matted then over bearing.

The world was great nice and big plenty of beautiful things to see and some mob encounters as well.

The game did recently add another area sadly I wasnt able to reach it since the new area was for players level 22 and above.

Now onto the rest the game starts you out in character creation everything is instanced session based so I had to create my own session to play the game nothing was created before hand, there isnt much of a tutorial either so you get 8 points in character creation to displace among the 4 main stats me I went 2 across the board which is my first mistake but of course the game doesn’t tell you that or give you a hint.

So I started the game and walked around you see floating question marks which I guess is this games form of a tutorial it tells you how to do something which I already figured out before I even got there the first person I come across is a cultist who wants me to join him I refuse but even if u change your mind your locked out of him since you cant chat with him anymore so I pressed forward I couldn’t open the door cause I needed a key and I couldn’t break down the wooden boards cause I wasnt strong enough so then what I had to climb up the dilapidated building until I could manage to get high enough to jump into the next area I dont know if thats how its supposed to be but it was bullshit.

So I continued made my way through the cave found a mysterious group that killed everyone and left me I slowly snuck out and kept going after making it into the new area I was met with a guy who had a mission to kill some zombies finally some action I thought then I found the zombie and well things aren’t what they seemed.

I progressed into the first town with a man named earl who has plenty of attitude who I instantly disliked but I did a mission for him which put me in his good graces and moved me to the next city and more missions which is weird considering my low level and this new area was ment for levels 18 and up so make it make sense for me.

This next area is where I got stuck and kept dying over and over no matter what I tried to do and that honestly killed any hope I had for the game.

I even tried to play in multiplayer but me and my friend couldn’t figure out how to do it there’s no walk through nothing, I get that this game is trying to be hands off but how do you make new players welcomed when you explain nothing this game does nothing to help new players and I cant recommend it one bit even with the low price of 14.99 other games explain there concepts much better, even google was no help cause all it would say is find a red crystal ok where what city what level yes I could have gone into there discord for help but why its the games job to explain stuff to me not some other person.

The combat had a delay between the actions and movement and I would always get hit even after dodging this game needs work maybe down the road ill revisit it but for now ill stay away and you should to take care and game on.

RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion on switch

First off huge thank you to starstruck games for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated now let’s talk about it.

I played rougematch on the nintendo switch I was going in expecting a simple match 3 game and boy do I wanna kick my own ass for being so wrong about this game that I dont even know where to start off. So ill try my best.

So the game follows a group of friends that found an old castle thats protected by a magical barrier, one thats no one has been able to enter the friends camp out in the night to regain there energy but the mage thinking they were all powerful snuck off and went into the castle hoping to beat it and get back to there friends before sunrise but boy we’re they wrong, then the paladin of the group rushes after the mage basically leaving our character alone and clueless of what’s going on until we jump in the castle and find a recording of our mage friend leaving instructions on the castle and how to progress so we do.
This game takes match 3 to a whole nother level first the puzzle is laid around you and you use the joy stick to select pieces to try and match up I feel they should have made the joy stick for movement and cross buttons for selecting but I digress so there’s monsters in the castle and if they get close they will attack but you can attack them back by matching 3 pieces or by walking into them but becareful you do have a health bar and stats to play with.

Now you have a mana range and inside that range some matches heal your character so your not screwed in combat thinking your done for when you lose health you can heal thankfully. There are also spells and abilities that help you fight but use up mana like an old school rpg so watch out for everything and pay attention.

Each elemental piece offers different effects when triggered and if near a monster will affect them and maybe even stun them for a bit to help you breath in combat.

You also find magic items that are hidden in wall safes that open up when the room is cleared which is pretty cool since you never know what will drop.

This game has 5 different ways of clearing a room and an objective marker telling you what you need to do so your not going into the rooms blind.

I could go on but this game is huge and has so much you need to learn to play is it easy yeah but it has a learning curve that thankfully isnt to hard and yes the game has a tutorial to tell you how to play. The story is divided up into chapters and sadly im struggling so bad to get through the castle I dont know when ill experience the rest also watch out for bosses there mean huge and kick ass but you gotta play to see how huge.

Again big thank you to star struck games for sending me the key this game is on the switch its called RougeMatch the Extraplanar Invasion check it out and enjoy thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

WARSAW, POLAND – JANUARY 14, 2026 – Space Goblin Studio has unveiled a new teaser trailer today for ASTROBOTANICA, showcasing progress made following community feedback during Steam Next Fest, ahead of its fast-approaching Steam Early Access launch on February 16.

YouTube Video.
ASTROBOTANICA is a curiosity-led survival game built around exploration and scientific experimentation. Set 300,000 years ago on prehistoric Earth, the game casts players as an alien botanist stranded during a mission to save their home planet. Surrounded by unknown plants, wild animals, primal humans, and an oxygen-rich atmosphere they can’t breathe, players must adapt quickly to survive – not through brute force, but through alien botany, experimentation, and discovery. Once establishing a home base with a blooming garden, players will set off to explore the surroundings, where ancient puzzles await alongside the mysteries of prehistoric Earth. Discovery, experimentation and scientific problem-solving lead the way in ASTROBOTANICA, offering a relaxed and welcoming approach to the survival genre.

Launching soon in Steam Early Access, ASTROBOTANICA has been designed from the ground up as a playable playground, encompassing core systems from day one, including botany and crafting, exploration and puzzle-solving, farming and base-building, and healing and helping primal humans. Throughout Early Access, Space Goblin Studio plans to expand ASTROBOTANICA’s world, introduce new systems and mechanics, and develop its evolving storyline through ongoing updates, shaped in collaboration with the community.

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign and a strong showing during the latest Steam Next Fest – where ASTROBOTANICA ranked among the top 100 demos – the team has already built a passionate community, with over 83,000 wishlists to date, and now looks forward to welcoming new players to its fresh take on survival. Recent improvements driven by community feedback include a fully reworked inventory system, upgraded level art, and enhanced performance optimisations designed to support a wide range of hardware.

Early Access lets us shape Echoes of Elysium together – a survival RPG where the airship truly is your home, and where you survive and thrive in the skies. We know players joining early may encounter bugs as we continue to improve the game, and we want to reward that trust. This is about creating something together.”

Set in the enchanting world of Elysium, where ancient mechanisms coexist with serene skies and breathtaking landscapes, players must set sail for adventure in airships of their own design.

Work alone or with friends in up to 6-player co-op as you uncover the mysteries of a forgotten paradise where danger lurks in the form of soul-powered clockwork beasts. Gather, craft, survive, and grow in power as you fight for survival and across a fractured landscape of diverse environments.

Nova Antarctica

Earth’s Last Frontier is Calling: ‘Nova Antarctica’ Launches January 29, 2026

RexLabo’s Narrative-Driven Survival Adventure Heads to Steam

Tokyo, Japan, 8 January 2026 – In 2900, the world has finally run out of second chances. Antarctica – once the planet’s final untouched frontier – cradles a ravaged Earth, beset by viruses, food shortages, extreme weather, and ceaseless conflicts. But, in the midst of this desolation, a mysterious signal sparks from the South Pole. A beacon of hope, perhaps? Or something far more sinister?

Today, PARCO GAMES is proud to announce that RexLabo’s atmospheric sci-fi exploration narrative, Nova Antarctica, will launch globally on January 29, 2026, for PC via Steam.

Nova Antarctica tells the story of a lone child drawn south by said signal, searching both for its source and for meaning, for connection in a place where the Earth itself seems to remember everything we’ve done to it. Combining survival mechanics, crafting, exploration, and the ability to befriend wildlife companions, the game challenges players to endure the world’s most unforgiving landscape whilst uncovering the secrets hidden beneath the ice.

This is, however, firmly unfamiliar territory. This is the Antarctica of the far future; reshaped by climate collapse, reclaimed by strange new ecosystems, haunted by memory, and alive with echoes from beneath the ice. This is the place where the future of both the Earth and the human race will be decided, with you at the helm.

You can watch the brand new Nova Antarctica release date announcement trailer here: https://youtu.be/Sk0rjOkWGPo?si=5lQdgUx1VEYifjJh

“Nova Antarctica began as a question: what happens to humanity when the world goes quiet? Launching the game now feels like opening a window into a possible future – one shaped by our mistakes, our resilience, and our imagination,” says RexLabo Game Director and Creator, m.Hayashi. “This game is an invitation. Antarctica has always fascinated me, and imagining its far future opened creative doors we just never expected. Now it belongs to the players – I hope they discover stories that feel personal, fragile, and unforgettable.”

Key Features:

Explore a far-future reimagining of Antarctica – a living, dynamic ecosystem shaped by centuries of change.
Discover wildlife shaped by a world altered beyond recognition.
Survive harsh conditions using tools, intuition, and fragile technology salvaged from the remnants of human civilization.
Uncover a branching narrative shaped by your decisions, your relationships to the continent’s mysteries, and the stories you leave behind.
Experience an atmospheric, meditative tone unlike most sci-fi adventures – intimate, human, and quietly haunting.

Nova Antarctica is one of three debut releases from PARCO GAMES, alongside the equally compelling Constance and The Berlin Apartment.

Founded in 1969, PARCO focused on creating cultural experiences and serving as an artistic catalyst, blending fashion, art, and retail to offer forward-looking experiences through its shopping malls, galleries, and cafés. With the launch of PARCO GAMES, the company is extending that legacy into an excitingly fresh field, championing titles that combine artistry, culture, and innovation.

“PARCO has grown together with culture and art in Japan,” offers Yuichi Nishizawa, General Manager at PARCO GAMES. “With PARCO GAMES, we’re bringing that same spirit into the world of interactive entertainment. Nova Antarctica is one of our first published titles, and we’re proud to support a game that approaches science fiction with such imagination and emotional depth.”

To coincide with launch, Nova Antarctica will also be featured at Taipei Game Show at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center between 29th January 2026 and 1st February 2026 where RexLabo and PARCO GAMES will be showcasing the game on the show floor. Attendees will be able to experience the game firsthand at the booth, marking the title’s first major public showing post-launch.

Nova Antarctica will launch on Steam for $24.99/€24.50/£20.99 on Thursday, January 29th, 2026, price subject to change.
