After the first two levels, I felt like I got the hang of how to set up the computers. At that point, the game became pretty relaxing. It helps that the music is really nice zone-out music.

I like the narrative mystery that gives you an explanation for why you're taking all these jobs. There's quite a few collectibles each levels including hidden documents.

In total, took me about 5 hours to beat. I'd definitely recommend the game to someone looking for a bit of a sim game, a mystery-lite experience, and tons of nostalgia. There are so many references to pop culture that it was fun just picking those out!

Visually, SCHiM is wonderful! I really loved the changing color schemes from level to level. And I found the environments very pleasing to look at.

I really enjoyed the gameplay and found it perfect for the relaxing experience that I wanted. There was only a couple of times where I felt like I didn't know where to go and I thought some of the platforming was just tricky enough to offer a challenge.

My favorite levels are the ones that leaned more into fun puzzle mechanics, things like moving light sources causing shadows to swirl around as you jump from shadow to shadow. I also really enjoyed the last level and thought it was perfect. If the devs make a sequel or game in a similar style, I would love to see more puzzles with these types of mechanics.

Overall, I'd highly recommend SCHiM, if you're looking for a fun, relaxing platformer. Also, I'm not Dutch, but one of my viewers is and they really appreciated how much this reminded them of their home. We ended up talking a lot about cool cultural differences! Very fun!

HexoCity is very chill and relaxing. I streamed it on my twitch and enjoyed being able to chat and play with ease.

The music is incredibly good. Absolutely loved every track. Some reminded more of Blade Runner-y style songs to some that even gave me a Cowboy Bebop flair. All of it, super good.

I really love the outrun, cyberpunk-y graphics of the tiles. Even the water and sun are beautiful as a backdrop. I love how you can zoom in and angle the camera so you can get a great look at the cityscape.

For those looking for less of a challenge and an even more chill experience, there is a creative mode where you have free reign of your city and tiles. You can make some gorgeous views!

I was able to play this on my Steam Deck without messing with any settings and it worked great. After an incredibly long session on the same map, I did experience some frame drops at max quality, but dropping the graphics to medium solved any lag. Keep in mind, this was an absurdly long run (9 hours) and I didn't experience any slower frames till about hour 7 on the same run.

If you're looking for a chill and relaxing puzzle game that you can vibe with to great synthwave music, this is definitely your pick!

Big love for King of the Bridge!

Even if you are not a chess expert, I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys puzzle games. Though it uses some chess basics, the real game is trying to uncover the wacky rules and remembering them to get yourself a win.

Even when you've beaten the game, there is plenty of replayability - different speed modes to play, trying to get all 30+ achievements, and even every normal game is different.

I streamed this today and had an absolute blast with my chat trying to learn all the rules!
This game is definitely worth the price and I really hope we see more of King of the Bridge and the dev!

I absolutely loved Under the Waves.

The story was emotional, heavy, and well-written.
The music was phenomenal.
The voice acting was great. Stan was very well done.

The game gives you a steady flow of main missions and a handful of side quests that will send you pretty straight to the end. But I really enjoyed the swimming and exploration moments during the downtime. You can either just go explore while you're completing those main quests or some days will give you "free time" where you can go back out and explore some more on your own. The map is a really good size. Big enough where you feel like you're really exploring and discovering new areas and landmarks. But not too big where there's a ton of empty space.

I highly recommend this game if you're a fan of games like Firewatch, The Invincible, etc.
I was able to 100% it in just under 16 hours and it was a great game to stream.

I played this on my steam deck with a PS5 controller and I didn't have any trouble. The game ran smoothly and worked perfectly.

Can't wait to play more games from these devs!

Hidden Through Time 2 does a great job of taking the good stuff from the first game but adding more to it.

My favorite feature is that certain items can only be found in certain weather. Luckily the game already tells you what weather you can find those objects in. It's fun to see the environments in different weather and it's fun to see how the different characters move within the same scene.

Another improvement is more of an overt narrative in each of the game's four campaigns. I've played through the Magical 80's campaign and it was accompanied with a voice over narration introducing each scene. It was a nice touch!

The custom level designer is also a lot more robust than in the first game. If you're into making your own levels, there's a lot of fun to be had there. I can't wait to see what levels people come up with!

Overall, if you're looking for a chill hidden objects game, I definitely recommend this!

Re:Fresh was such an adorable and fun game. I definitely recommend it to people looking for a short-length, very chill and cozy platformer.

It took me a little over an hour to 100% it on stream. I really loved the character designs and the environments are really nice to look at. I really enjoyed how many Solar Cells they give you in the game. The cells give you extra jumps or dashes. By the end, you have so many that it makes platforms and zooming around the map super quick and easy.

I would really love more games in this style and universe. It was super fun and I wish I could do more!
Thanks for making an awesome game!
