  • Joe’s Wrath

    Joe’s Wrath is a humorous shoot-em-up game about a mistakenly kidnapped man who just wants to watch The Price is Right. TL;DR at bottom.

  • Nightmare Simulator

    Nightmare Simulator is a surreal visual experience with little gameplay and plenty of confusion. TL;DR at bottom. Gameplay: In reality, there is actually very little gameplay contained within Nightmare Simulator. It would most likely fall under the category of a walking simulator or simply a virtual experience as you have very little interaction with the…

  • Far Space VR

    Far Space VR is a strange “horror” experience with minimal gameplay and long, drawn out segments. TL;DR at bottom. Gameplay: Far Space VR works with both VR and mouse & keyboard, but I don’t think it would work very well in VR, based on my experience playing in desktop mode. The camera is affixed to…

  • Adorables

    Adorables is a cute little sports game that is best suited for young children. TL;DR at bottom. Gameplay: The gameplay in Adorables is not extremely varied, and entirely consists of you launching your little creatures at a ball or towards enemy Adorables.

  • 150,000 B.C.

    150,000 B.C. is a platforming game. Yup. Don’t get too excited. TL;DR at bottom. Gameplay: 150,000 B.C. is a very simple platforming game. You jump on random floating blocks to reach the end of the level, and there are spikes that are your only obstacle besides gravity. There is a grand total of 4 entire…

  • Supersonic Tank Cats

    Supersonic Tank Cats is a Mario Kart styled game themed around cats who wear weaponized vehicles. TL;DR at bottom. Gameplay: Supersonic Tank Cats is very reminiscent of the Mario Kart rally racing genre of games.
