100animalease

I'm playing Steam games in alphabetical order, and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/yrkyUmCIzuU Prefer to read? 100animalease is a quirky JRPG filled with charm and whimsy, and more than a few oddities. It's rough around the edges, but also clearly a passion project for the dev, and there's something so intriguing about playing through a game that's intended to be experimental. As far as RPG's go, this one focuses mostly on light puzzle solving, with two instances of combat presented as minigames. It's about exploration and the characters you meet, rather than a world-ending scenario to prevent. Each animal has a unique personality, and joins your massive conga-line of animals that is needed to solve puzzles and progress to new areas. It's also a fairly short game at 3-4 hours long. This game certainly isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy the weirder, slightly janky side of solo-dev RPG's, this will likely draw you in.

Beautiful

Really enjoyable collectathon game. Dialogue is entertaining and the puzzles are fun. There is a lot of backtracking but I think it made even that gratifying instead of frustrating.

⠀

there is a lot of vulnerability in this game's dialogue

good stuff
