Senara the sacrament

First-person survival horror SENARA: The Sacrament revealedScavenge resources, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth of a derelict ocean liner

Pangyo, South Korea – January 7th, 2025 – Indie developer Influsion Inc. have revealed their upcoming first-person survival horror game SENARA: The Sacrament. Set aboard a mysterious derelict cruise liner, you must survive and escape as it teeters on the edge of ruin. Players won’t have to wait long to experience its haunting atmosphere firsthand, with a playable demo planned for February.

Watch the SENARA: The Sacrament trailer

SENARA: The Sacrament puts players in the role of a new recruit of a religious organization with a massive 6,000-ton ship: the Senara. Upon setting sail you wake up to find the crew missing, while unspeakably horrors roam its steel corridors. Hidden cult rituals, forbidden truths, and survivors with their own agendas await you in the darkness. In a place where blind faith and salvation intertwine, you’ll be forced to make choices that go far beyond survival.

Hearkening back to classic survival horror design, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a massive escape room where you must solve puzzles and use limited resources to your advantage if you’re to get out alive. In order to get out of the Senara alive, you’ll have to ration your resources, make use of stealth, and make difficult decisions regarding when to fight or flee. Explore the complex, intertwined corridors of this structure based on a real ship, uncover hidden passages, and gather clues to find the key to your escape.

This unholy tale is open to interpretation with snippets of truth scattered across documents, objects, and conversations between characters. Depending on what you believe and how you interpret the clues, the story can unfold in entirely different directions. With multiple endings based on your choices, your decisions affect not only your escape but also the fate of the Senara and what truth comes to light.

Using LiDAR, photogrammetry, and Unity HDRP pipelines, SENARA: The Sacrament offers a scan of a real-life documentary-level accuracy 6,000-ton ship. This precise reality reconstruction naturally adds an ultra immersive, uncanny playspace for players to get lost in.

“SENARA: The Sacrament is our love letter to classic survival horror titles that keep players shrouded in mystery and trapped in suspense,” said No-Jin Kwak, Director at Influsion Inc. “Using claustrophobic corridors, moody offshore atmosphere, limited resources, non-linear level design, and a fragmented story, we aim to create a terrifying experience that shakes players to their very core!”

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

Brotato Switch Version

What do you get when a game has over 20 characters to unlock, tons of weapon combinations, hundreds of items, and tons of replay ability? you get brotato the bullet hell game thats literal hell let’s dive in.

So I never played brotato before but it was on sale for the nintendo switch and decided to give it a chance after hearing it mentioned in a video a few times and im glad I gave it a chance the game is so much fun and has so much to offer that no 2 runs are the same no matter how hard you try.

So the game gives you 6 levels of difficulty to unlock you start at level 0 and move up after beating it, unlike other bullet hell games where you only get 4 weapons or spells brotato let’s you pick 6 and you can combine them to make them stronger emptying out spaces for new weapons to take there place so trust me when I say the combinations are in the hundreds most likely you have weapons from guns to clubs to even a rocket launcher and a wand so the game isnt lacking at all.

Now if you want your runs to be even more difficult then choose a character any character other then the basic guy each character has one or 2 positives with a few handicaps to follow and boy do they make the game tough on you.

It took me 8 runs before I was able to beat the boss he was a pain in the ass not only are you trying to kill him but your also killing the other mobs while dodging for your life, speaking of dodging there’s no dash in this game at least not that im able to find on the switch version and ive looked it up online dont know how accurate the info is but yeah no dash which makes boss battles that more intense.

I love everything ive experienced so far from this game the vast character selection the multiple weapon combos it reminds me why ive fallen in love with bullet hell games there easy to pick up your able to pause then if life or kids need you and the replay ability is astronomical I enjoyed the game so much I bought the switch and a ps4 copy of the game. The game plays amazing on the switch its the perfect time killer game and having the switch in handheld mode it runs flawlessly and playing it on a TV just adds to the enjoyment.

So if you like bullet hell games rougelites in general then brotato is for you yes the game is old its been out for years but its worth the pick up also has some dlc to it adding new content which I’ll pick up at a later date.

But thats all for now I highly recommend this game guys thank you for stopping by take care and game on.

Scrabdackle

First off huge thank you to Jakefriend for sending me a copy of the game to check out its greatly appreciated let’s jump in.

What do you get when you mix a hand drawn cute almost chalk looking game with a souls like spirit you get Scrabdackle. Now I’ll be honest I didnt know this was a souls like when I first got it I thought it was an action rpg but either way ive been having fun playing this game so let me share a bit with you.

Scrabdackle is a cute souls like that follows you the player a wizard who is thrown out literally into the world below your awesome wizard academy. You see all you’ve ever known is the academy so the world outside is completely foreign so its time to get learning.

Your starting area is like a swamp area where you must find your wand which is your only weapon so avoid combat cause you will die, after some initial exploring you find your wand and are ready for this crazy adventure of finding your way back to the academy. This is where the game teaches you the basics how to attack and my favorite how to scan enemies you see you get a spell that scans enemies and in your journal information on said people or monsters is written and it gives you a good amount of info definitely worth scanning everyone your able to.

My favorite part of this game is you have a map yes finally a souls game with a map that let’s you see where you’ve been and what’s left to explore. During this starting phase a lot gets thrown at you so pay extra attention or you might miss something.

The only thing ive come across that I dislike is that you use E to interact and R and F to go up and down on dialog options instead of just being able to use your mouse really dont like this but you get used to it as your playing.

So when you get to your first save point your taking into a dream realm where your sub conscious manifest into your professor yes the game explains why that happens so I wont spoil it. Here is where you will learn a good amount of information about your journey and where other manifestations will appear as your progress so you will wanna come back often as one manifestation tells you where to go and which way to explore.

So the swamp area has a variety of monsters but it leads you to peanut city yes its a small town where you find your first boss encounter and your first shop as well and yes all the npc’s are peanuts which I’ll be honest is so cool and adorable but just from some of the dialog that I read they dont seem to friendly after you buy some stuff and leave you explore further until you find a new enemy the ducks which this area will progress the story.

The game is fun and for a souls like the combat is fluid and easy to learn the bosses are also easy to understand and fight against the world is beautiful and the art style is definitely my favorite part of the game Scrabdackle is a fun experience and definitely hands down a must play for any souls player the game is 14.99 on steam and for this price you have a lot of fun and a great story to understand so if your a souls fan pick this up you wont be sorry thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Magic Forge Tycoon

First off huge thank you to Clever Trickster Studios for sending me a review key to check out there game Magic Forge Tycoon its greatly appreciated so let’s jump in and talk about this.

I hope Clever Trickster studios can forgive me on the late review life got busy for me and I wasnt able to get to this sooner.

So this is a tycoon game where you run your own magical forge the tutorial option is available after you design your emblem and name your forge which that alone is a huge fun boost for me nothing like running my family company into the ground with my choices.

So the tutorial starts you off easy you pick a blueprint you wanna work on and off you go. If you’ve played game dev tycoon then you will feel right at home with this system so after you start the build your greeted with a pop up that has 3 sliders these sliders represent the build its style and the way its forged you get 3 pop ups total each with different sliders and yes its a guessing game at first but the more you build the same item over and over the more information you gain from the build unlocking these green bars under the sliders which are your favorite areas meaning these spots guarantee success in your endeavors but they can still be tweaked to get better scores.

Next is the money aspect after all your running a forge you need an income so the sale screen shows you the kingdoms where you can open up stalls for a price gaining a reputation with that kingdom. This aspect is my favorite part of the game you see your able to tell the kingdoms status by hovering over there name you can see there military power and there wealth and trust me more money means more sales at least thats how I see it.

On the world map you see the kingdoms that are available this is also where you gain special missions from them for special gears or regular gear as well you see completing orders gains you coin and reputation but be careful you see on this screen you will see what kingdoms have issues with each other and which ones are at war and sadly you cant help one kingdom without hurting your status with other kingdoms which sucks im nothing but a humble blacksmith trying to carve out a living but life has other plans for me.

The guild tab let’s you buy other blueprints so you can craft other weapons maces and staffs you have a decent variety and I really like that from this game but watch your money as it spends fast sometimes faster then you can earn. The guild tab also has all the upgrade paths for your forge which is awesome as when your on the forge screen you see whatever upgrades you buy happen in real time these small touches definitely make the game more fun knowing my hard work is paying off.

Yes you can lose the game if you spend to long broke the guild shuts you down and sadly I dishonored my family name in my tutorial run and went bankrupt but you live and learn and get better.

All in all this is a fun cozy game and good time killer and tons to figure out and learn and its definitely worth it the game releases early 2026 on steam so keep an eye out for it and add it to your growing collection thank you all for stopping by take care and game on.

Codex Mortis

First off a big thanks to GROLAF and CRUNCHFEST for sending me a copy of codex mortis its greatly appreciated let’s dive in.

First off this game according to there steam page is 100% made by A.I and when I saw this i wasnt sure how to feel but I decided to give it a chance and see.

Now this game is a Bullet Hell and lately this has been my favorite genre since it offers so much diversity and replay ability and im familiar with the genre having played a good variety.

The games demo has 2 opened levels a graveyard where the dead are restless and cant sleep and a Christmas level done for the holidays where you gotta kill zombie Santa and a variety of Christmas monsters. And I do mean variety from elfs to gingerbread man to robotic deers there’s a bit of everything.

Now what i dont like about the game is the swarm it starts off at full throttle instead of working its way up so you can get a feel for it and another being you dont get new spells during the run you find scrolls from mini bosses and they may unlock a new benefit but spells have to be found instead of being random rolls you can pick from which is counterintuitive to the whole feel of the genre then there’s objectives you have to do to finish the levels great not bad I like having something to do other then just survive but the arrow indicators are so hard to see once the screen is filled with monsters that it feels like your guessing where to go. Also the game feels like its all board game pieces the way the monsters and character moves.

You will find random treasure spots on the map which give you a chance at getting something my last run I kept getting nothing it was frustrating.

The only thing I really liked was the upgrade system you use the souls from dead enemies as currency to unlock more upgrades to benefit you on your runs as well as more spell slots so your not limited to 4 spells which I think is really cool.

The only negative ive found in the game is a bug where your character starts moving south on his own and you cant regain control unless you quit the game to your desktop ive come across this bug 4 times already I get its a demo so I wont hold it against them but I hope they fix this if there planning on launching this game.

For my first A.i made game im really at a lost for words on some aspects like the Christmas level I feel the colors make things harder to see like your arrow indicators the upgrade system is my favorite part of the whole game I had fun with this demo but I still feel games need to be made by people where they can express there passion an a.i doesn’t have the same passion and love people will anyways thanks for stopping by take care and game on

Another Eden the cat Beyond Time and Space

So today we check out Another Eden the cat beyond time and space this is a free to play game on steam thats basically a mobile port given mouse and keyboard controls.

Right out of the game my biggest issue with this game is that even after installing it from steam when you launch the game it has updates and needs to install more stuff this absolutely is not acceptable if I install a game from steam I expect all updates to be done through steam and make sure everything is installed right from the get go this is my biggest gripe with this game but I dont expect much from a mobile port I shouldn’t have to wait around an extra 30 minutes or more for the game to download extra stuff it makes me not wanna play the game and sadly the whole time ive had this game thats been my experience.

Well now with that massive red flag out of the way let’s talk about the game then, Now I reached out to there social person on twitter i saw the game in a post and it caught my interest cause there doing a collaboration even with final fantasy and im a fan of final fantasy now first the game is free to play i didnt know that and I didnt know it was a mobile port until I started talking with the guys great people by the way so I downloaded it and wanted to jump in right from the get go I spent an hour maybe more just waiting for this game to install more stuff for it to work im like ok no problem I can wait so I did and finally after what felt like forever I was able to start playing this game.

The story follows Aldo and his sister Feinne in a world thats clearly at war with itself the game opens up with a cutscene of a man least you think he is walking through the woods where he encounters a small child but instead of helping the baby he leaves why who knows then an old man comes into view who finds the baby and a young aldo fast forward and your in a village with an older grown Aldo and his sister where you do some missions and progress the story after maybe 15 minutes of game play could be more the village is shown being attacked by the beast king who’s hunting down Feinne cause she has some magical power that can be used to eliminate the humans of the world and only leaving behind everyone else after you gain control of Aldo after some gacha elements you pursue the kidnappers finding them only to end up in a fight with the beast king where you know plot armor keeps you alive that and a magical kick ass sword but its not enough and they get away with your sister and thats how chapter 1 closes out for the game.

Chapter 2 starts with your grandfather teaching you combat so you can pursue after your sister and her kidnappers which leads you to a forest the scenery is beautiful I’ll give them that so you make your way through the forest until you find the beast kings servant who you get into a fight with after that he let’s loose his pet chimera on you and you run away until your surrounded then a strange hole opens up and your blasted through time and that ladies and gents is the introduction to Another Eden the cat beyond time and space not bad I guess.
The game finally spits you out 800 years into the future leaving Aldo a bit time shocked at the fact hes not in his own time you meet a girl who later introduces herself as Amy who tells you where to find her since she thinks your a bit crazy you know time travel who knew right, during my travel to the city I met my favorite character so far an Andriod by the name of Riica who after saving her from some evil andriods agrees to help you out on your journey.

This game is a mobile port so all the gacha elements are still there so spend money get characters and so forth my favorite thing about the game is honestly the music its top tier and really soothing I could spend hours just listening to the music itself I know I haven’t played the game much more but honestly this game isnt for me which sucks I really wanted to see the final fantasy collaboration.

If you dont mind mobile games and dont mind the grueling download times for there updates this game could be worth it the combat is fun being turn based picking each attack spending mp points per attack its all there the seeds of a great game but they gotta work on the download speed for the updates even with over 600Mbs down for my internet speed the update took forever to download and if your trying to immersed yourself in the game this kills it I’ll probably come back in the future and check it out again the game has a lot to offer and do but right now its not for me thank you for your time take care and game on.

Moonlighter Rock Dungeon nintendo switch version

Hello everyone today we talk about moonlighter now this game has been out for a while but I recently bought it for my Nintendo switch and I’ve been having fun with it let’s talk.

In moonlighter your character is an explorer at night when the dungeon is open and a shop keeper by day why the dungeon is only open at night I have no clue but thats how the game has it designed.

So the game starts you off in a tutorial run you meet an old man from your village that basically begs you to not do dungeon runs as your grandfather died in the dungeons but you refuse to listen and play on after you complete the tutorial run our friendly old man gives you your first real weapon a sword and shield to help you against the rocky foes of the first dungeon. Yes you read that right first dungeon as there’s a total of 5 that you progress through sadly im not that far yet.

So your dungeon runs consist of you clearing out rooms until you find the floor bosses hidden chamber trust me there’s a lot of rooms to explore sadly you gotta be mindful as your bag only holds 20 different items and you fill up on space real quick ive learned this the hard way. But you will know when you are close to the boss as the anti chamber room is a giant magical pool that heals you and trust me healing you will need.

After your runs if you make it out you return to your store there you can put the items you just plundered for sale so you can earn yourself some coin and trust me coin you will need. You see your the sole income to your village and its thanks to you that the town will grow as you are responsible for bringing in new shops which you will desperately need.

The first shop you bring in is the blacksmith which you will need to upgrade your weapons craft new weapons and craft new armor as well everything you need cause the monsters hit hard and sadly healing potions only do so much.
The next shop is the alchemist shop this is where you will discover all types of potions and buffs to help your runs and every little bit helps.

Some of the rock monsters are annoying but you can beat them some require some environmental usage to beat them but the floor boss is in a league of his own he hits hard and has a health bar that fits right at home with any souls game just not that hard to attack.

The rock dungeon is made up of 3 floors with the 3rd floor giving you a nice gift that makes exploring that much easier at the cost of money of course.

The game has a lot to offer and you definitely have fun im glad I picked this up for my Nintendo switch it fits right at home on this console I’ll be working my way through the game so I’ll keep you posted when I beat the next dungeon take care everyone and game on.
