[h1] Awful [/h1] The Game Store is unfortunately, awful. I loved the idea of a horror game where you get games from a game store and creepy stuff happens but this just fell flat on every level, and charging $8 for it is honestly insulting. I paid less than a dollar for it and I feel ripped off. The game itself took me less than half a hour to beat, half of which was spent on the horrendous skateboarding game. There are a few games you have to beat before you can buy the final game, and all these games are bottom of the barrel garbage. The skateboarding game has the worst hitboxes I've ever encountered, and all the other ones are just crappy rip offs of other games like a terrible Mario clone, a garbage Flappy Bird clone, and a couple other awful ones. The game isn't scary at all, maybe mildly spooky at best. When you finally beat the final game you find out this is only a prologue to another game. A half hour long demo essentially that sucks, that the developer charged $8. You're not even buying a complete game. Don't waste your time or money on this.

I got stuck on Radical Skater for 40 minutes and then got killed by static. 1/5 stars.

You get to pick out various frustrating retro style games to play on your gaming console amidst the backdrop of a somewhat creepy environment. Each of the games has an achievement for playing them perfectly or getting significantly more points than required to progress the story. It's a moderately enjoyable experience with some secrets that open up as the game progresses that you can collect to get a different ending. I got 3 endings, I'm not sure if there's more than that. There's one hidden achievement I didn't unlock that might be for a different one, but I don't know how to unlock it. I don't think it's worth the $7.99 asking price, but if it's 50% or more off it's probably a reasonable deal.

Waking up one day, Hearing whispers about buying games, play the game to a completion. Now, where I'm I? Is this the real world? Because everything looks relatively weird. There's an a idea here. There are details in places (the few there are) that relate to the activities you're completing. Buy game, beat game, repeat for the next event. Everything is done to almost its minimum, and its too little. The house you're in as an example, is far too empty. The living room has some couches and pictures... That's basically it. The Game Store of the games title only has a handful of game titles. other then completing the games. They don't add any effect that are related to them. Other then maybe one. Which the game makes clear. You'd think that with the games pricing (+$8 on steam) that there would be a lot. The number of games you play and the size of the store, is lacking. You play 8-bit games. There's a 16-bit console and respective games advertised. I think the game came short. Both in what it delivered and its overall scope. As if there should've been several chapters long. But if The Game Store sells for ~$1-2, I do recommend it. The 8-bit games are short too few. I would've cha…

- The Game itself isn't fun - None of the Games you have to play to progress are fun or well designed - AI Generated Artwork All in all, a dreadful chore to play. Not even worth it on Sale.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.
