My Original Steam Review
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198126983418/recommended/1327810?snr=1_5_9__402
Quick housecleaning note... Yeah, I don't know what my deal was. I explained the story totally and completely wrong. While it was right there in front of me. I don't know what caused me to do that. I guess my memory of the story was kind of vague. For the record. Our father was an explorer, not a scientist. Our mother was queen of the Moon. But there was no invasion, her people turned on her. She fled with your father to Earth, and they had you. Now your mother is dying and your father is too old and weak to go himself. You need to go to the moon to collect ?gems? and save her. That's the actual plot. My synopsis had little to do with what it's really about. My apologies. Mea Culpa.
I actually do really love this game. As a total package it just works for me. There are flaws to be sure. It's greatest crime is being slightly basic. But combined with everything else including the price point, it more than the sum of it's parts individually would be.

Going In Blind: Paleo Pines Demo

Lucky is kind of too adorable. Unlike my hideous abomination of a Scottish/Irish accent I put on for part of this video. There is a lot to like here, but it's not for me.
Some housekeeping notes. This is the last video without any intros. There will be three that have static pictures for the intro music, but after that I made some proper ones to rotate. (Excluding the playthrough series. I'm not making an intro for every one)

As a bit of housekeeping, any issue with artifactig is duce to a setting I had on at first. it happens in a couple videos before I figure out the setting in OBS. That's causing it and it goes away. So it's not poor performance from my computer, nor is it poor from the game, it's that it was setting that was causing compression for whatever reason.

https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/family/diablo-ii
As a house keep note, the artificting that happens in this video was not due to my computer or the game. It was a setting in OBS that was causing some weird compression issues. There are a few videos with it before I identify the issue and fix it.
In this one we mostly just run around the jungle. We do stumble across and explore the swampy pit. But that's usually when death comes for you, when your not really doing anything in particular and when you least expect it. Is running around out in the jungle when death comes for me?

[Almost] Going In Blind: Elsie Demo
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1515570/Elsie/
Cool little demo for a game being developed by Knight Shift Games. It's being jointly published by Playtonic Friends, as well as, The Completionist AKA Jirard Khalil. This has a lot going for it. That's why while I don't and won't edit, I will scrap a video and redo it if I feel it should be done. As mentioned in the video I had made one before but it had super poor audio quality compared to the others. There was no commentary, and I wasted more time doing nothing. So, we made a better version of the video more in line with my initial impressions style and up to my current standards.

I originally picked this up thinking it was going to be a spicy pepper. But no, it seems its just a fairly tame visual novel. I could be wrong, but I don't think this one is lewd. I think it's normal anime/manga inspired fair. I don't think this one if for me either way, but maybe you'll dig it.

Now, I don't hate this game. Far from it. Some of the nonsense surround it and the company mildly annoy me, but the game itself is cool. I am fully on board with trying different things. But it was during this session that I realized that what I got hyped for, is not what I got. This game went though significant changes in development. Below I've included a couple YT clips. One to a teaser of the old Minotaur scene , and a clip just just the whole old Minotaur song. I'm still happy with what I got, but I feel like they were going to do something a little darker and cooler and changed direction.

They are both great but if your heart and budget is set on Little Nemo and you can only get one, this is the one.

Normally I don't link to a developer's page, but this game is hard to look up due to the name, so I thought I'd link it so you can go and see if there is a way to follow or check out their other projects if you feel so inclined. Best as I can tell the developer doesn't really have any presence online other than their own site. This game is the only thing on Steam. The Itch io page is literally just the link to their site. As you hear in the video I was thoroughly impressed. On that note, this was the last video with any desyncing issues. From here on out everything is being recorded on OBS.

I'll explore it more in the future. Not sure what, if anything I'll post here but if I do, there you go, I here too.

You thought it was Blasterbeat, but it was me, Dio! Er, Spiritle. So I was going to check out Blasterbeat, but it didn't want to load, so we switched gears and tired out a free game that's not unlike a board game, that's not unlike Oaken. But between the two, Oaken is the better game. In theory you can play this free, but it has a cash shop where you can buy things and I have a feeling that some of the other characters are just flat better. I could be wrong. Either way, there is things to like here, but not enough to grab me. Maybe you feel differently about it. As a housekeeping note, there is only one more video with the desyncing issue, after the next upload, all recordings from then forward will be on OBS.

There is both more and less here than was in the demo I played and posted the other day. I do more or less make the same choices I made there where I could. There is much to both love and hate about this one, but I'll let you decide that for yourself. I will say as far as I'm concerned, this is still enjoyable, but it's not the thing I got excited for. When I get to episode 3, I'm planning on posting one of the teasers I saw long ago, to give you a taste of how much different this is than what I originally expecting. That said, it's fully voice acted and while there is an element of role play in this, it's really more of an interactive fiction, a visual novel with more flare than most if you will.

When I first discovered this demo, it was only up on Itch io, but it has since appeared on GameJolt and Steam as well. In the video I mention that there was one updated build between when I downloaded it and recorded it. There has been several updates since I recorded this, so this demo in this video is several builds out of date. I will also say, the game actually looks a lot better than it does in this video. The compression on most of them hasn't been too bad, but on this one, it did a real number to the visuals.
An no, me reading what is on screen before it appears on screen is not a trick of the devil or the game. It's not me editing (I still don't edit, when I start using intros, those are not edited in, they are recorded in real time just before I start, but I digress). That's the desyncing issue. There are a few more videos I made before I finally switched over to OBS.

What the hell is Rumble's problem stop replacing my thumbnails with random frames from the video. Or at least let me fix them after the fact.
After Teo came in clutch for us, he has yet more to off. He wants me to come help him convince his developer friend to unveil their highly anticipated, hot new indie game at Perplexing Fun. Should I stick by his side and help him help me? NAW!!!!! He's cool and all, but he still kind of creeps me out. Besides, Ashley's idea is way more fun, and way more illegal. All that and more on this episode of Arcade Spirits.
