Meteo: Facade is a great looking first person point and click adventure in which you wake in in a mysterious underground labyrinth with a strangely naïve girl called Sunnie, and must solve intricate puzzles in order to escape.

This odd underground labyrinth has some beautiful sights to discover and tricky puzzles to decipher. Thankfully though, you don’t have to do it on your own, Sunnie lends a hand where she can.  Throughout the course of the three levels you’ll get to know Sunnie, a pretty and rather odd character who seems remarkably naïve about the outside world.

Even in these early stages of development Meteo: Facade is an impressive game, with great visuals, clever puzzle design and an engaging story.  Where this story leads, we’d love to find out, as the underground facility holds many questions and Sunnie is an intriguing character we’d love to know more about.

Dungeon Fighter Online is a fun side-scrolling arcade hack and slash MMO with gorgeous 2D visuals, and fast-paced arcade combat.

Dungeon Fighter Online did make an appearance in North America in 2013, but was shut down as it was pretty broken.  However, due to popular demand it’s back and better than ever.  It’s a gorgeous looking game with cool sprite based visuals and some rather spectacular special moves.

As well as online co-op, players can build guilds and even partake in PvP matches.  The hack and slash gameplay is similar to classics such as Golden Axe or Double Dragon, or for a more recent comparison, Dragon’s Crown on Vita.  Players traverse the stylish 2D backdrops, teaming up with other players and kicking ass.  

It’s a fun game, offering old school hack and slash thrills with online multiplayer and snazzy visuals, hopefully this version lasts a bit longer than the 2013 one!

The Miskatonic is a beautifully hand-drawn 2D side-scrolling horror comedy visual novel, where you play as a odd female protagonist with a huge shotgun in a demonic university. It’s inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, with old school survival horror puzzles and ‘harrowingly humorous’ dialogue.

The Miskatonic‘s appeal is its nice aesthetic design, wonderful character designs, a great atmosphere in a beautifully grim world, and horrifically fun dialogue interactions between the unique characters.  Dark, humorous and stylish stuff.

Yandere Simulator, Yandere meaning love-struck, is a murderous stealth game about stalking a boy who you’re obsessed with, and will do ANYTHING to get his affection.

While trying to gain your crush’s love, you have to secretly eliminate any girl who seems interested in your beloved, through various means – which include manipulation, framing the innocent and murder.  All the while you have to maintain the image of an innocent schoolgirl and not get caught.

Think of this game as a mix of the Hitman games and some of the stranger Japanese anime shows with all the silly and perverted actions and scenes that go along with them (there’s a bit of a fascination with panties).  

Yandere Simulator may not be for everyone, it’s pretty macabre stuff, but it’s certainly entertaining and well worth checking out if you’re a fan of anime, murder and stealth.
