Orwell Keeping an eye on you Nintendo Switch version

First off huge thanks to osmotic studios for sending me the game its greatly appreciated so let’s uh dive in shall we.

So the game is called orwell keeping an eye on you, its a political sim but man some of it feels like this shit is going on in real life and its the first game ive played were its left me feeling like what the actual fuck did I play.

So you start out by making your character your called the Investigator you control the narrative of the story and basically guide everything that happens to an extent.

You see the point of orwell is its a surveillance program that monitors bits and pieces of information to make a profile about you and judge if your dangerous or not and that in itself is the biggest flaw as it runs on bits of info not massive chunks you could say something out of anger and rage and boom the program now considers you a threat and puts you on a watch list.
The game opens up with an explosion at a plaza and a women getting onto a bus and this is where we start your advisor talks you through the basic what to gather how to make a profile a detective your making your profiles and cases and you start adding info and it adds up to the bigger picture soon your singular profile turns into something else a bigger threat more people involved its a slippery slope that spirals fast and this program only gets worse as you progress in the story.

You see now that you have 1 or 2 profiles going you start invading there privacy there public profiles there blogs eventually there emails and texts messages until your literally going through there computers checking there bank statements and job history you see orwell sees everything and finds what it needs to make the case against you even bigger but the flaw lays in the Investigator you see you the player adds the data the advisor tells you more info about it if its useful or to watch it if its shit so the whole time this investigation isnt being done by a full team no to avoid any issues its all down to 2 people the advisor and you the player.

Orwell evolves as you go and the story of this game honestly is insane and one i can say you must experience for yourself and the way this game pushes so close to something that could probably be real is just unreal.

Orwell keeping an eye on you is an episodic adventure of 5 episodes to progress through getting deeper and crazier as you progress not once did I ever fully grasp the drama that I was creating everything you experience feels real the devs did an amazing job with drawing you in and not letting you go until the end and all I can say is holy fuck what a game truly one that needs to be experienced as my words dont do it justice I played on the nintendo switch this game felt perfect for it and i cant wait to see what the devs have in store for us next. Thank you for stopping by take care and game on

Adaptory

Hey guys today I wanna talk to you about Adaptory but first huge thanks to Stormcloak games and indie.io for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated.

Now i love colony sim games ive played a bunch over my years but ive never played one as punishing as Adaptory. This game is clearly inspired by oxygen not included even tho i never played it im sure its easier then this.

So the game opens up with you picking the first 4 people which im assuming you get more as you progress you load in and you crash land on an alien planet your ship is a mess and you gotta move quick as oxygen is running out. Now thankfully there’s a bit of a tutorial that shows you the basics and what to do and thankfully the tutorial stays there for every run which is a huge plus for me but it does lack some info with issues ive encountered during my run more on that later.

So you start digging underground getting materials to start building and thankfully the main material is dirt as you build everything from dirt dont ask me how you get metal from dirty but you do now as your people are building there living against time the oxygen bar is small and runs out quick sadly it recovers slowly which im guessing is there way of getting as close as possible to realism.

Soon your tasked with building a research desk to unlock power and other important things thankfully all material needs again are simple just dirt which I like as it keeps some stress off during early stages but your in space how do you get power theres 2 options solar panels and a small coal plant you can use both well actually your forced to use both as solar panels dont really produce enough energy as for the coal plant as long as you have coal your golden which you find while digging underground.

The game offers special views to monitor the oxygen and power grids but honestly it doesn’t show much in my opinion just an overlay of where stuff is.

Now ive played a few hours into this game over 15 runs and every single time I end up losing to all my idiots dying, yes I called them idiots cause honestly they are they will mope around outside in the void of space sometimes not moving and dying because they couldn’t be assed to move to safety. By best run thanks to RNGesus I was able to get water pumps and oxygen generators going but then what even using the over lay you see where the oxygen is at but it barely moves or expands this is were my mood starts going sour.

Even with a tutorial after maybe 5 minutes the game just stops it doesn’t expand on oxygen generators or water pumps after you unlock them and build it doesn’t tell you or show you how to fully utilize stuff to get the maximum benefit and fine I get it the devs want you to figure shit out but if your not giving players an actual tutorial run people will get frustrated and quit and I did after over 23 runs of just dying over and over I gave up even with everything I learned it still wasnt enough my biggest gripe is at one point a warning icon pops up saying cant operate due to pressure ok how do I fix it where is the info and the game gives you nothing what in the actual fuck am I supposed to magically know what to do no its the devs job during tutorial to show players everything and they cant even be assed to give a proper tutorial.

All that aside yes the game is fun and if your a fan of builder style games then check this out and if you’ve played oxygen not included then you might have no problems here but clearly this game doesn’t want new players and its sad I really wanna keep playing it but im not gonna risk punching my monitor thanks to how frustrated this game made me.

Thats all for today guys thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Rouge Night

Hello everyone today I wanna talk to you about a sweet little indie game called Rouge Night but first huge thank you to Grey November Games for sending me a copy its greatly appreciated it now let’s dive in.

The first issue i had with the game was a bit game breaking I opened a cave door and everytime I went in the game crashed on me I reported it to the devs on there discord as another player had the same issue they told me to give them some time which I did the next date an update went live for the game fixing the door that really impressed me the devs were quick responsive and didnt brush me off they made me feel like my worth as a player was worth more then gold and it felt awesome another time i was experiencing lag and crashing talked to the devs again and after some back and forth they were able to recreate the issues and send out a fix this is how devs keep gamers by talking and showing up for them and I for one will definitely stay, now the reason I started with this is cause I wanna show gamers out there that devs do listen.

Those are literally the only issue’s ive had with the game which is an rougelike sandbox open world survival crafting and ima throw in rpg cause you do missions lol but yeah you start the game and talk to a spirit fox which guides you with your missions telling you where to go you make your way out of a forest to this castle city thats in ruins as the zombies destroy everything, now im not a huge fan of zombies I hate horror games but I gave this one a shot the graphic style didnt make anything over scary like in an actual horror game on the contrary the zombies looked adorable and made me wanna fight them all even more.

The game offers a good variety of weapons from a sword to daggers to a spear and great sword and everything else the game offers cant spoil it all. Most weapons are found on enemies or on the ground so make sure you fight alot cause you will need to.The map is big and there’s lots to explore and plenty of missions to do i think there were 8 pages of missions but im sure more will be added down the line.

You also get to build a house where survivors you find will gather yes there’s other living people in the game thankfully, I did realize that when you die you lose everything and restart over I havent had a chance to ask about that so ill update if I get to ask. there’s also some pretty intense bosses as well first one I found was a giant spider and boy do I hate spiders.

This game is fun its simple its not very demanding or taxing on your system and honestly it deserves more eyes on it I cant wait to see how the game turns out and what more they add to it thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Dwarves glory death and loot

First off huge thank you to Hamma Studios for sending me a copy of the game its greatly appreciated so let’s dive in shall we.

Today we talk about Dwarves glory death and loot an auto battler thats available on the nintendo switch and steam, I was fortunate enough to play on the nintendo switch and i love games like these cause they fit perfectly on the platform.

So the game is an auto battler meaning the game does all the fighting for you which im fine with considering your army is made up of 10 awesome dudes fighting for glory and loot.

The game has 3 difficulties to choose from loot being easy mode and focusing on loot then there’s glory which is normal where you start to focus on staying alive as well and then there’s death which is hard mode if you lose any people during combat thats it there gone. Thankfully for your initial run the game does teach you the ropes and everything is super easy to learn and grasp.

Since I was on the switch version to move around between different menus it was all wired to the right joy stick which made everything a breeze you had the store and inventory tabs then you had the recruitment tab for new fighters then the fighting tab which let you choose which fight you wanted to proceed with, at no point did i feel overwhelmed by the menu set up like some games tend to be.

The gear is easy to work with once you unlock the forge you upgrade and make gear better at a 3 to 1 ratio there in ore in the game but I haven’t figured out how to use it yet.

This game is a blast its simple and fun easy to pick up and hard to put down and considering it made it to 1.0 release this game has a bright future and its one I highly recommend and if you have a switch console definitely pick it up this game feels right at home in handheld mode ive had fun with the hours ive put into it and cant wait to see what’s next for the future of the game thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Bladesong

The level of detail in this game is insane and makes me feel like an actual blade Smith not just a gamer playing a game.

You start the game in a dream state you pick your character type male or female then what your life was like your knowledge and so forth and yes it actually helps with the progression in the story as some choices depend on certain skills you have your toughness and knowledge being some as well as finesse, after you make your choices the game opens up into the tutorial and even the tutorial tells you pay attention or you wont learn so please pay attention.

The first thing it goes over it the camera movement which im not a fan of why would you stick a camera binding to the press of the scroll wheel makes no sense at all but thats just my 2 cents. Next your looking at the anvil and the process begins. The tutorial starts by telling you how the lengthen the metal that will become the blade each blade has a sweet spot in length and the info box on the top left tells you everything that is e,petted of the sword you are making and boy does shit get complex as you progress. Then you gotta flatten the blade and widen it these 3 steps are the most basic of everything your gonna be doing so make sure you watch everything closely cause if you mess up you will have to start over and fix the sword properly.

Next the game will show you how to put a tip on the sword and this one is probably the most trickiest of them all as you can over tip the sword to the point its almost a needle which some customers will want that.

Then comes the sharpness of the blade which is the easiest to do you see a blue line will pop up on the blade and will move until it hits the proper spot then it will change to orange when you have reached the exact point intended honestly best guide line ever.

The whole left side of the screen while your at the anvil is your info bar as well as the square that pops up on the right also shows some details as well.

After the tutorial of making the game shows you a small fixing tutorial cause not only will you be making blades you will be fixing them as well. The amount of detail and information in this tutorial is insane and well done could they have added more sure but it might have messed with the flow of the game.

After the game drops you into the story of the game where you are awoken at a tent with a forge outside in a tent filled camp of people trying to enter a city for safety. You will try to get in as well but no luck sadly.

This is where the game opens up where every choice is both good and bad where everyone is watching you and where one wrong move can mean death for your character.

The economy is rough not only must you find supplies but you also gotta find vendors and boy the first vendor you find is rough considering this game takes place during medieval times people were scared of plagues and everything else.

This game is amazing the detail the feel of making a sword the hilts and everything in between i am so glade to have experienced this game and I cant wait tonsee what they do with it in the future so if you wanna feel like a real bladesmith pick up Bladesong you wont be disappointed, thank you all for coming by take care 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.

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.

Hotel Galactic

Hey everyone hows it going Happy New Years and welcome to 2026, today I wanna thank Ancient Forge, for sending me a copy of there awesome game Hotel Galactic so let’s dive in and talk about it.

So Hotel Galactic is a hotel builder game with a great story and draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli which is very obvious in both the art style and characters in the game.

So you the player are what’s called a pilgrim a spirit that comes upon the Hotel in ruins and its staff super upset as they failed to make an impact. so there’s a bit of a 4th wall break with the way they interact with you which I think is very cool and actually makes me feel like its more then just a game. The crew basically gives you control of the hotel and grounds and its up to you to give it life again and guess what, life we shall give it.

So in story mode your following everything at a set pace to start out with you slowly start fixing the hotel and bringing it back once the hotel is done you work on the landing pad which is where flying ships will land and let people off so they can stay at your hotel, yes your read that right flying ships you see this is where the galactic part in the name shines as your hotel is on a floating island out in space surrounded by other planets but you learn that when you open the games map and check it out.

So the first person you meet after the hotel opens is the most important character in the game Captain Pouncy Paws after some talking she agrees to help you and she will be the ship that brings people to your hotel.

After the great Captain is the merchant ship Captained by Silver who will make it obvious right from the get go all he wants is money but he does start by helping you out with some great stuff and then gives you a summon icon where you can summon him when you need it but you gotta wait 8 hours for him to show up thankfully time goes by very fast in the game.
Then soon after another captain shows up by the name of mogumo and hes just as important as he brings new workers your way yes you do have to pay to hire them but they each have talents and specialty so knowing what you need is a good way of knowing who to hire.

The game offers a variety of species of personal all of which are adorable in there own way you have the pington race which are a short species that have a trumpet horn for a nose and enjoy music which they will let you know so you can make there stay that more enjoyable, after you have the toravis which remind me of horses with there appearance they to will tell you what they like and there focus is on tranquility and peace also showers they love a good shower then the 3rd race you come across is the derret which are tall ferret looking creatures but since you have 2 of them as workers you see them right from the start.

The story follows Gustav the ghost and former owner of the hotel who lives his days in regrets over how bad he did running the hotel but thanks to some awesome friends and you the player you show him the beauty of the hotel as your transform it and grow it.

This game offers a story mode and sandbox mode and honestly my opinion is do the story mode first you wont regret it one bit, its enjoyable and will make you smile even though ive already come across some people that I despise with a burning passion im sure you will to once you meet them.

For a hotel management game its fun ive lost track of time playing this game and all I wanna do is play more I really would like to see some new species added to the game maybe more story in the form of DLC.

Now the early game is slow and sometimes a bit stressful until your able to hire more workers your stuck with 3 employees which feels like a strain when you start getting busy between crafting the stuff you need making food for guest and just surviving the game feels like you need a lot of workers from the start but soon things get easier and enjoyable.

The game has what you would call a skill tree where you unlock upgrades for new tools and more decorations for your hotel rooms which you will wanna use it helps out.

I think my favorite part is the rating system each guest rates there stay when they check out and it goes against your score so far im holding at a 4.8 score out of 5 but its a lot of work finding the balance to make everyone happy.

If you like cozy management games then this game is for you and if your a fan of studio ghibli then enjoy the game as well the inspiration is enjoyed all in all i definitely recommend this game thank you for stopping by take care and game on
