Whateverland: Prologue - Game Play footage - PC (GOG)
I thought I would check out the Prologue for Whateverland which is being released sometime in 2021 on GOG and Steam.
Here are a couple of minutes from the game.
Whateverland is a hand-painted point-n-click adventure game with a branching dialogue system, non-linear gameplay, various endings, and unique in-game turn-based strategy sports simulator.
Vincent is a skilled thief who decides to steal a precious necklace from a mansion of a lonely old lady named Beatrice. His plan would have gone perfectly well, but when she catches him red-handed, she turns out to be an ancient and powerful witch. As a punishment, Beatrice sends him to the parallel world she has created, where the witch traps those she considers her enemies. The first inhabitants of this bizarre world called it Whateverland, and since then it kind of stuck. Vincent teams up with a weird guy named Nick, and together they are willing to find their way out. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWm3wh8tXlY
"Gray Dawn," developed by Romanian independent game studio #InteractiveStone, ventures into the horror genre with a distinctive religious theme. Set on Christmas Eve in 1920, players assume the role of Father Abraham, unraveling a mysterious plot involving the disappearance of altar boy David and allegations of child murders. The game combines survival horror gameplay with psychological elements, presenting a narrative-driven experience.
The gameplay immerses players in a first-person perspective, exploring eerie environments, solving puzzles, and collecting images of Christ to shape the story's outcome. Voice-overs, subtitles, and optional recordings enhance the storytelling, providing depth to the narrative. While the game balances walking simulator elements with engaging puzzles, the absence of a persistent villain may leave some longing for a more intense horror experience.
"Gray Dawn" delves into religious themes, navigating the delicate line between portrayal and artistic interpretation. The specific Eastern Orthodox religious elements might be polarizing, potentially offending some players. However, this unique backdrop adds a layer of distinctiveness to the horror genre.

Lyrics:
I saw you walking down the street, that summer day
Your smile, your style, just blew me away (away)
We danced all night at the local arcade
Those summer nights, I wish they could stay
It's a summer love, ain't it so sweet?
Falling fast, and I can't compete
We'll dance till dawn, with the beat
This summer love, it's got me on my feet
Lost in the city lights, chasing dreams and neon signs
Fighting through the noise, heartbeats in the midnight air
We're dancing on the edge, taking chances in the unknown
Every moment is a spark, a rush that we can't control (ooh-yeah)
We're living in neon dreams, a kaleidoscope reality
Where the colors come alive, and we're free to fly
In this neon daydream, we'll paint the world with our desires
Hold on tight, let's ignite, and set the night on fire (fire)
Lost in the city lights, chasing dreams and neon signs
Fighting through the noise, heartbeats in the midnight air
We're dancing on the edge, taking chances in the unknown
Every moment is a spark, a rush that we can't control (ooh-yeah)
We're living in neon dreams, a kaleidoscope reality
Where the colors come alive, and we're free to fly
In this neon daydream, we'll paint the world with our desires
Hold on tight, let's ignite, and set the night on fire (fire)
Walking down the city streets at midnight
Underneath the neon lights shining so bright
People laughing, dancing in the groove
In this city, there's always something new
Neon nights, they take us to another place (oh yeah)
Where the music's pumpin' and the colors chase (oh-oh)
Neon nights, the party never ends (never ends)
We're caught up in the rhythm, catchin' all our friends (ooh-yeah)

#JitsuSquad is a 2D style 4 player co-op BEAT ‘EM UP action adventure similar to the classic
arcade games from back in the 90’s. It has the freedom and accessibility of games like
Streets of Rage and Final Fight but with the speed and intensity of games such as Guilty Gear,
Marvel vs Capcom II and Super Smash Bros.

Thought I would check out the remastered version of the classic 2009 Ghostbusters: The Video Game out now on the Epic Games Store.
Capturing my first ghost took me a little bit of figuring out, but think I got the hold of it. The game looks and plays well.

With the recent announcement that Gamious has released a free online multiplayer update to their popular oil drilling game Turmoil on Steam. It is also worth noting that there is a really cool DLC available.
Turmoil is such an addictive game.
Turmoil - The Heat Is On is a brand new campaign with tons of oil to dig up and convert into cash! It is designed to make you feel right at home, but at the same time offer lots of new mechanics and fun features. Here's what you can expect!
A new town (and mayor!) and a new oil-rich map divided into three areas.
In each area, new drilling mechanics are introduced, powered by a new underground substance: magma.
You'll see familiar faces like Edward and Fred and William. They brought their goods with them in train wagons, so you can instantly stock up on all your favorite drilling gear.
There are also new people, like Philip, who runs a shady card game in the saloon.
Jack is a new character that runs a magma tools operation from his shed. He likes chicken.
Anthony is also back from last time. Instead of dealing in diamonds, he has his own store where you can sell and buy all sorts of underground treasures.
The new mayor is not quite like the old one. His tips are free, and he uses a different auction system. But shares still cost money!
There's a cat walking around the village! He doesn't do a whole lot, but what can you expect from these creatures?
And last but not least: a couple of brand new music tracks!
