Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a charming game that is sure to win the hearts of all Moomin fans, as well as anyone simply looking for a cosy, heart-warming game to take a break from the daily grind.

InKONBINI captures the essence of 1990s Japan, wrapping us in a warm, nostalgic blanket woven from tender and intriguing stories and gameplay that is as simple as it is relaxing. However, while the game aims to highlight the importance of small, everyday things, this isn’t reflected in its pretentious dialogue, which quickly tends to bore the player.

Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss is a game that promises a lot but ultimately fails to deliver on its potential, resulting in an adventure that won’t leave a lasting impression—mainly due to its weak story and character development. That said, the game isn’t all bad, as it incorporates some very creative gameplay ideas, even if these don’t quite manage to shine.

LOST EMBER: Rekindled Edition is a charming title that will keep us busy for a few hours as we discover its wonderful landscapes and endearing inhabitants. However, repetitive gameplay and a rather dull story mean that we are unlikely to feel any interest in the game, and we are likely to forget it once we have finished playing.

Sleep Awake is an extremely intriguing title that draws strength from its creative and captivating worldbuilding, capable of capturing our attention from the very first minutes of gameplay. However, what prevents the game from really taking off are its gameplay issues, which end up making it far too linear. It is still a good product, though, and one that deserves a chance, especially if you are a fan of the genre.

Rue Valley is a good title that will surely appeal to fans of Disco Elysium and CRPGs in general, thanks to its refined artistic style, engaging soundtrack and impeccable writing of the protagonist, capable of creating a strong emotional bond with the player. The time rewind mechanic is well implemented, adding depth to the gameplay and encouraging exploration and experimentation. However, the game can be disappointing due to the lack of depth in the choices, which rarely affect the plot, and the apparent uselessness of the skill system. Added to this is a story that, after a promising start, and underdeveloped secondary characters, seem to quickly exhaust their narrative potential. All this makes the work, despite its merits, a wasted opportunity, especially in terms of dynamic storytelling and engagement through choices.
