ShantyTown is a building game that is meant to be slow and focused, with an emphasis on mood rather than difficulty. ShantyTown is not like other games, as it eliminates factors such as combat, failure states and heavy progression and replaces them with a simple loop of placements, arrangements, and visual storytelling. You move through small spaces, slowly turning them into thick, layered scenes that feel personal and expressive.
Gecko Gods is a short adventure that is more about moving around, exploring, and solving simple puzzles than about being long or hard. It makes for a peaceful experience where you slowly find a lost world while sailing between islands at your own pace. The game's goals aren't ruined by issues with navigation, the camera, or finding puzzle entrances.
