5 little -known, but excellent turkeys + real game of the year 2024.

If the name of the game were preserved without the second part, then one might think about some kind of silicone indecent. This is actually Point-And-Click Investigation, or rather, conducting interrogation of androids that gave the failure and fraud of facts in favor of a huge corporation (or not a nagging).

The main character himself is an android in the service of the company Kronos, Therefore, throughout the game you will have a dilemma in front of you: to curry up and survive or help brothers.

The main mechanics are the emotions of the robots. It is necessary to carefully monitor the indicators and filigently display to a certain emotional state to unlock replicas. And also in which case to be caught on inconsistencies and blackmail in favor of the corporation. In your hands their fate: release, reformat or kill?

It is worth warning that the game has a ton of text in English.

Surrealistic role -playing. Point-And-Click. LSD-shhd Disco Elysium with unique cube system (I haven’t seen one anywhere).

Why role -playing? One word – pumping. Water is present only in dialogs, gameplay here with Gulkin’s nose (as in Elysium).

BUT! As I said, there are interesting mechanics associated with cubes in the presence. We are an agent under cover – under the cover of a pizza. Each Pets that we find serves an additional cube on which you can place six cells with positive “effects” (six, because the cube has six sides, people). That’s not all. We pump each skill as a cube, that is, on six sides, but this does not mean that there cannot be “ten” on one side, for example.

+ After a successful and unsuccessful attempt, buffs and debuffs are given in the form. Yeah, cubes.

In short, excellent, small, humorous adventure, which is not a sin and refracting. I think she is ideally balances on the verge of trash: The world looks strange, some characters and events, but at the same time ordinary and funny things happen.

// very important! Almost everyone will appeal, Non-gamstop-casino because Steam shows such genres as “Cooking”, “Noir”, “Detective”, “Rogalik” of some fig.

We continue the procession by bricks Point-And-Click, but this time in fear. After all, on the agenda horror. And yes, he is also with the possibility of choosing.

You are an inquisitor in Scotland, you have 5 days to find a witch/sorcerer of 6 suspects and take a scum! That is, destroy 1/6 Scotland. You have to move between locations and interrogate the inhabitants. Everyone hides something and tries to transfer the arrow to his neighbor. The main thing is not to succumb to tricks and make the right choice.

Ah, yes! The right choice will help to make Medieval torture, Fortunately, they are diverse and certainly will not have time to get tired of the fellow citizens. And everyone will have to torture. After each day, the main character is condemned by a dream, which, perhaps, is sent by our Almighty Father.

Awesome oppressive atmosphere, Stop-Motion animation And, of course, the very idea that you will understand at the end (or even earlier). And if you don’t understand, you can always go again.

After all, the game was originally made for the 2020 Halloween jam (https: // itch.IO/JAM/HPS1HALOWEEN2020?ysclid = m6iyuzqapq333638045), and it passes in just an hour, but it also costs a penny.

Gentlemen, get ready! It will shake now, because we are turning onto the path of the pants.

4. UTOPIA MUST FALL

Exit date: 9 Sen. 2024.

I do not trust the games in the early access and all the more I never buy them. But this time, something clicked in my neurons, and on the advice of experts (in fact was in some tops for 2024) decided to try out an unusual genre.

This Arcade + Shoot ‘Em Up, Where we play for the last remaining city on Earth (they are constantly changing), more precisely for its protection: turret and nuclear missile installation. I told this about two mechanics. The first is a cursor and shoot from a turret (it is permanently and an unlimited number of cartridges), and the second – when it presses, shoot a nuclear (the nuclear is finite, and the radius of the defeat is also limited). But everything is not as simple as it seems at first glance.

A huge number of enemy types. True, this is amazing! Some distract you, and then, like kamikaze, they crash into the city, some will not start shooting until they gather in a certain system, some crawl on the surface at all. As in any self-respecting sling, there is a pumping: allows you to focus on something and change the style of playing a little. Perhaps this is a nit -pick, but I wanted a little more independence of each “build”, although this is early access. But there are suspicions that this is just so planned.

In conjunction with cool Neon-Rartro style It turns out an excellent arcade, which can be launched while you are listening to some kind of video or going somewhere, for example.

The developer has not only this project in the portfolio, unlike previous and subsequent. And there are funny works, so do not forget to look (why the developer with the name Pixeljam has many games?).

Lunacid ? DREAD DELUSION ? Or maybe the dungeons are better than your skillful fingers (in the literal sense), and you are a sorcerer of blood, which was enclosed in, so to speak, Mind-Jail? Honestly, it seems to me that this is the only game that I tried on the godot engine. And it was an interesting experience (and not only because of its whims not to start in the first time).

Games that I listed in this paragraph are similar, agree? Battleship, design, haircut for Morrrowind, King’s Field, and T.D. and t.p. They are united by common pros and common disadvantages: an alluring and melancholy environment, a surreal world, but the middle bat, crumpled lorus and plot, a slight abundance of a mechanic. And “blood dungeons” the same? And yes, and, of course, no. Otherwise, we would not read this amazing eyeliner.

Firstly, This is a horned. The main levels will constantly change, the “type” of the dungeon will not change (the order is always alone, if you do not find secret). There is a hub where we can permanently pump and talk with yourself (htonically). The battleship is similar to the classics of 2003, but I would describe it more active/fast. After each “type” we are met by a boss, characteristic of this dungeon.

Secondly, Rings! The sorcerer has 10 fingers, each of them can be put on one ring, but there are a lot of rings, and each ring has several effects (it all depends on the finger on which to pull). The effects are applied to the potions – they are either buffato sorcerer or debuffati (effects must be remembered or recorded in the diary).

Third, Blood magic, dude! Using your blood, you can have a different effect on the world around. For example, you can freeze everyone around or call an assistant in the form of a golem.
