Alba: A Wildlife Adventure
Small actions can make a big difference.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure captured Paula’s heart:
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure is a heartwarming tale of being kind and looking out for others and the world around you. A game that isn’t afraid to challenge our perceptions, with its message of conservation and how we can impact the world for the better.
All of that is wrapped up in a sweet and cute style with a strong and enjoyable memorable story and relaxing music that you will lose yourself in.

Darkarta: A Broken Heart Quest Collector’s Edition
Haunted mystery and mother’s fight for her little daughter.
If you enjoy hidden object puzzles, then Darkarta: A Broken Heart Quest Collector’s Edition might be right for you.
I do not say this lightly but this is literally the best hidden object puzzle type game that I have ever played.
The puzzles are just challenging enough and each one feels unique. I love that it is a longer game and every second of play has just been absolutely fantastic! I hope to see other, similar games from these developers because they clearly put in a lot of time and work to create quality games!

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights
Tales from the harrowing and beautiful journey of Lily and the Immortal Knights
James faced the darkness in Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights
Ender Lilies Quietus of the Knights is one of those games where, usually, this level of high difficulty would put me off and I would just walk away due to frustration. But I didn’t, some bosses took me multiple attempts to complete and yes I had to take breaks, but I kept getting drawn back to fight the darkness.
Maybe it was the delightful piano score, the light vs dark story arc or the smooth control system but I just couldn’t help being drawn back in. I’ll admit I was not very good at the game but this is a rare occasion where despite my hardships I have nothing but praise for this title. Not for everyone, but as the game seems to hint at in the darkest of depths there is always light. At least that’s what I took from it.

Ghost of a Tale
Explore a medieval world as a minstrel mouse
Paula was a quiet as a mouse reviewing Ghost of a Tale:
Ghost of a Tale has charming characters, lore, and brilliant storytelling. All together they provide an immersive world for the player to get lost in. While it does have a few little hiccups with the graphics, it is not enough to spoil the gameplay.
Ghost of a Tale is a lovely game with a meaningful story. With a great cast of characters, a game all enthusiasts of adventure, role-playing genres should try.

Islets
Take to the sky, reunite a fragmented and lovingly painted world, and face powerful monster adversaries in this surprisingly wholesome adventure game!
Islets took James on an emotional adventure.
Islets may look like it follows the basic adventure game template. But within the first hour of play you can see it’s so much more. Islets did what few games tend to do, it took me on a gripping adventure of mystery and intrigue. I met memorable characters, fought huge bosses and, most of all got, kind of emotional in places. If a game is able to do that then I could only think of one fitting rating to give it.
Of course I’ll step back and admit not everyone may have this experience. But if you love your 2D adventures Islets ticks all the boxes whilst offering a few new sounds on the formula itself, with its regular upgrades and air travel segments.

Letters – a written adventure
A heartwarming coming of age story about finding the right words.
Paula sat down to write in Letters – a written adventure
Letters – a written adventure is a very enjoyable heartwarming game with a relatable coming of age story. I found the story held my attention right up till the end of the game. The use of words in the game is well implemented, focusing on narration and having fun with words with a little word puzzling thrown in for good measure.
Test your letter writing skills with the demo.

Lil’ Guardsman
In this deduction adventure, you play as Lil – an unlikely 12-year-old hero – covering your dad’s shift at the guard shed and are tasked with deciding the fate of over 100 unique characters.
Kalina stood guard for LadiesGamers in Lil’ Guardsman:
I thoroughly enjoyed Lil’ Guardsman, and I’ll enjoy it for a while longer while I get more endings. Meanwhile, I’ll recommend it several times to the same people until they finally decide enough is enough and try it themselves. It’s that good.

Mari and Bayu: The Road Home
Play as Mari the ant and Bayu the firefly to solve puzzles, surf the wind on a feather or even ride a friendly grasshopper!
We reviewed Mari and Bayu on Steam, concluding:
Playing this game only gave me enjoyment, with brief moments of thoughtfulness and challenging problems to solve. It kept me quite entertained and the end of each stage made me curious about the next one. It has co-op which seems like a great experience to have with a friend. I would firmly recommend accompanying Mari and Bayu on their journey and playing this game, especially if you enjoy a serene yet challenging platformer adventure with a nice story and charming aesthetics.

The Spirit and the Mouse
Play as a mouse and explore a quaint French village, make electrifying friends, and do good deeds for those in need in this lush narrative adventure!
Paula scurried around in The Spirit and the Mouse
The Spirit and the Mouse is an adventure game that will warm the cockles of your heart and leave you with warm fuzzy feelings. You can see the love the devs have put into the game; Lila is a perfect mouse. She can even squeak at the press of a button. It’s a game about kindness and helping others, something we could all do with remembering in this crazy world we inhabit.
