Nakana.io Publisher Sale

Posted: Aug 23, 2024

Publisher nakana.io is having a massive sale. Many games are $1.99 USD. I've tried some demos and here are my thoughts...

MYTHIC OCEAN

Mythic Ocean screenshot. You are talking to a four-armed otterlike creature visual novel style.

This game is so odd and yet charming. You are a fish in an underwater setting. And yet you are not a fish. You are helping to create a new world and your interactions with other ocean dwelling creatures will result in a new universe.

At first I found the controls really frustrating, but found the settings to change them and now I'm zooming around. I really love the inclusion of these settings, it means a wide variety of players can try this out.

The more I think about it, the more I want to purchase this game.

PLEASE TOUCH THE ARTWORK

This is an abstract puzzle game where you are playing with art pieces in a museum. Its meant to be a laid back experience. I actually didn't like this one as it felt like either I had to hold more information in my head than I am capable of or its random which I also don't like. Also I have too many puzzle games at the moment. I might try this one when those are all set.

That said its slick and just because I don't like it doesn't mean you won't. If this looks cool to you, give the demo a whirl.

There are also some short experiences without demos that I am thinking about getting but will have to comment on later.

STILSTAND

A screenshot from the game Stilstand. Its in a sketchy, comic book style with multiple panels.

EQQ

The EQQO logo. Its a young, blind Eithiopean boy running with a large egg.

LYDIA

The game logo. Its monochrome, with a moody woodsy background and a family arguing over a small child.
