Game Description:
A deep, open world life sim and town building game set in a cozy post-apocalyptic paradise. Restore an old town, sail across a mysterious archipelago, hunt relics and farm, fish & craft everything you need. Can you help turn Critter Cove into a thriving tourist town once again?
The town of Critter Cove used to attract visitors from all over the world. Now it’s mostly known for dirty streets and trash-strewn beaches. Can you help us turn things around?
Critter Cove is a combination life sim and town builder game with a beautiful, handcrafted open world to explore.
ATTRACT TOURISTS TO YOUR ISLAND
Spend your doubloons to upgrade buildings and explore the world to discover new blueprints and gather resources to grow your town. More upgrades will improve Critter Cove’s tourist rating. The greater your tourist rating, the more new tourists will visit. The more new tourists, the more money in your pockets to upgrade the town. Get it? Yep, you totally get it.
EXPLORE A POST-APOCALYPTIC OPEN WORLD
Venture out into the mysterious tropical archipelago peppered with the ruins of a long-destroyed civilization. Dive beneath the waves to salvage the treasures of the old world. Rescue shipwrecked critters. Unearth exotic ingredients. It’s a wondrous world of mysterious ruins, shipwrecks and ancient technology waiting to be discovered.
FORGE UNIQUE ITEMS AND FARM EXOTIC FOODS
As you explore, you’ll find resources to craft hundreds of different items, discover new construction blueprints and bring home unique plants to grow on your farm. Turn mundane salvage into something new and unique, and improve your tourism rating by offering your freshly grown food to visitors.
UPGRADE AND DECORATE YOUR TOWN
Use tourist money and salvaged items to restore rundown buildings and open up entirely new stores and venues for tourists and townsfolk. Craft decorations and interactive objects that will improve the town and make it uniquely yours. You can even decorate your very own home with hand-crafted (or hand-looted) furniture.
BUILD FRIENDSHIP WITH TOWNSFOLK
You’ll need help to restore the town, and luckily the world of Critter Cove is filled with many colorful characters. Some are easy-going and friendly… others might need some convincing! Rescue Critters across the world, assist them in building a home and help them find the perfect job in your community. Their happiness is the key to your success.
HUNT FOR RELICS AND DISCOVER ANCIENT SECRETS
Embark on quests to find hidden treasures or ancient relics scattered throughout the world. Donate these artifacts to the Museum of Mystery to uncover the secrets of the long, long ago - and then charge tourists a small fee to the museum so they can absorb some local culture!
CUSTOMIZE AND PERSONALIZE YOUR CHARACTER
Create your perfect island persona with our robust customization system. Human or animal? Mammal or reptile? The head of a parrot and the tail of a monkey? It’s entirely up to you! Mix and match your physical attributes to your hearts content and discover that perfect tropical drip with hundreds of outfit combinations to craft and discover.
AND SO MUCH MORE
Discover abandoned attractions and rebuild them in your town
Explore weird and wonderful locations such as a sunken city, and a wild botanical garden
Catch some post-apocalyptic fish and discover the best and most unique fishing spots around the world
Dismantle items in the open-world to discover new crafting recipes
Watch tourists launch themselves into the ocean for entertainment
Assign townsfolk careers they’ll love (or hate) depending on their personalities
Watch Critters use gifts or wear clothes you make for them
Hunt for new residents shipwrecked after storms
Cook powerful food items that affect your stamina and exploration prowess
Run advertising campaigns to attract more tourists to your island")

Game Description:
Deltarune is a role-playing video game created by American indie developer Toby Fox. The player controls a human, Kris, in a world where monsters live on the surface of the Earth. Kris and a classmate named Susie fall from Earth into a place called the “Dark World” where they meet Ralsei, who informs them that they are heroes destined to restore balance to the world. The players meet various beings who call themselves Darkners during a prophesied quest to seal the dark fountain. Mainly through the combat system, the player navigates through different kinds of bullet hell attacks by enemies, which can be resolved peacefully or through violence. The first chapter of the game was released on October 31, 2018 for Microsoft Windows and macOS for free, with later Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 released on February 28, 2019. The games graphics are reminiscent of 16-bit Japanese role-playing games such as EarthBound, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Chrono Trigger.
Deltarune is a spin-off of Foxs previous game, Undertale (for which Deltarune is an anagram), but its setting is not the world of Undertale, according to Fox, though characters and settings may bring some of Undertales world to mind. As of December 2018, Chapter 2 is planned, but no release date has been announced yet.
Deltarune, like Undertale, is a role-playing game that uses a top-down perspective. The player controls a human named Kris and has to complete objectives in order to beat the game. During some parts of the game, the player is allowed to choose attacks of other characters in the game. Similarly to Undertale, Deltarune has bullet hell sections, in which the player must move Kris SOUL around a boxed area while avoiding enemy attacks. Getting close to the attacks (without actually touching them) will give the player TP (Tension Points), which allow team members to use spells such as Pacify. Defending also increases TP, albeit by a much larger amount than dodging attacks. Combat is performed similar to most standard turn-based role-playing games, choosing from a set of actions such as Attack or Spare. While the goal of the game is implicitly to avoid fights and spare monsters, this is made difficult in that Susie, who is not initially controlled by the player, would rather attack enemies than spare them, and thus the player must also determine actions to prevent Susie from hurting enemies if they want to show mercy.")

However, thirst and hunger is not the only danger in the ocean… watch out for the man-
eating shark determined to end your voyage!
Find the last parts of civilization still above water. Overcome the challenges therein, uncover the story of its previous inhabitants and find your way to the next destination!

Buy Esoteric Ebb on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2057760/Esoteric_Ebb/
Game Description:
Esoteric Ebb is an isometric, Disco-like, TTRPG-turned-CRPG set in a bizarre post-Arcanepunk fantasy setting. You are The Cleric, an expert in esoteric events, and a glorified government goon. Inspired by classic CRPG games, Esoteric Ebb features deep and branching dialogs with a staggering amount of choices.
Create the world’s worst cleric. Take on the city through tense TTRPG dice rolls. Struggle to maintain control with your Stats chiming in at every moment. Let the voices guide you into insane encounters and hit that natural 20 right when you need it. Become the most interesting player at the table and completely ruin your DM’s day.
Five days until the first-ever election, a tea shop explodes in the heart of the city. They send you to deal with the mess.
You wake up in a morgue with half the river in your boots, surrounded by ten thousand rotting apples, several corpses, and one zombie. Out of your depth and with no official backup, you delve into your beloved city to investigate the impossible mystery no one wants you to solve. Juggle factions and play them against each other. Explore the streets and tunnels of a fantasy metropolis. Debate devils, drunk sphinxes, and all manner of fantastical fools in a world where mythological creatures sell newspapers at corner shops and ideologies overtake the ramblings of dead gods.")
