Where do I even start? Firstly, the game tells you virtually nothing about indie game development, There is barely any gameplay either—you simply click a few times, and that’s about it. It hardly even qualifies as an FMV game, as there are practically no meaningful choices to make. To make matters worse, the store page mentions over 30 minutes of footage, yet I was able to unlock every achievement and see both endings in literally five minutes. I honestly have no idea why this was made into a game. If anything, it would have made far more sense as a short YouTube video than something released on Steam. The price does reflect the lack of content to some extent at £0.95, although I still think that’s too expensive. Around £0.85 would have been fairer, and I personally bought it on sale for £0.47. Regardless of the price, I can’t recommend it. It’s by far one of the most pointless releases I’ve come across on the Steam store, and I simply don’t think there’s enough here to justify calling it a game.

Best Thing I Ever Seen Was The Cat 10 Out Of 10 Game
Recommended Sep 14, 2026
bought this game exclusively for the steam profile background but it turned out to be a really cool narrative game, albeit a short one. The only minigame here is making and indie game. It's intentionally made to be boring and monotonous kinda representing the monotony and tediousness of actual indie game development. This encourages the player to try other activities out of boredom instead of working on their game. The protagonist has dreams about childhood and time apparently representing a constant nostalgia for a carefree childhood and a fear of wasting time. You could replace indie game dev with pretty much any activity and the meaning would remain the same. All the other activities are basically just one minute music clips. Took me about 15 minutes to get all the achievements, see every activity, and complete both endings. My only complain is that I have to run this game on the back for 2 hours so that I can eventually use the background for my profile.

A very artsy Indie Game. You manage a week of an Indie Developer. Daytime and Nighttime you click on working on the game or doing something else. A Random FMV Sequences plays. And That´s about it.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
