Vigil: Blood Bitterness	Meridian4;GarageGames (Freegamer)	2006	Not entirely sure, but I think Dehon speaks either Spanish with intense growl or plain gibberish that vaguely sounds like actual language, I'm tagging it as gibberish until someone can clear that up. If anyone wants to try identifying it (if that's even possible...) [spoiler=Intro video;Hide][media=youtube]v6dkIY23mlc[/media][/spoiler]*The game hints on the following things: [spoiler=Show spoilers;Hide...]Cannibalism (Dehon and others ate slaves when they fancied it), familial homicide (Dehon murdered his siblings for their failings), immortality (Dehon is over 3 million years old), near god-like powers, the nebulous Evil Dehon is trying to destroy is in fact himself, ...[/spoiler]Vigil: Blood Bitterness plunges you into the dark and disturbing story of an ancient civilization where you must reveal the secrets of your past and exact revenge on the Evil destroying your universe. Ritualistic killings and blood lust blur the line between your own kind and the Evil you seek to annihilate. Your ultimate goal is to free yourself from this tormenting place and understand the origin and the purpose of this never ending Evil. Vigil is a stylized gothic horror adventure game that uses black and white imagery similar to Frank Miller's Sin City to create a unique visual that draws you deeper into the gruesome world of your character, Dehon. Avoid deadly traps, solve puzzles to unravel your past, and even devour the faces of your slaves for sustenance towards your ultimate goal of freedom. Easy point-and-click playability * Engrossing story with deeply disturbed and complex characters * 3D graphics with revolutionary black and white art and dynamic camera angles * Challenging puzzles to solve and reveal the mysteries of your civilization * Compelling pre-rendered cut scenes to advance the horrific story * A gallery of clues in text, pictures, videos and sounds * Set up multiple player profiles [Valve]
Braid	Number None	2009	Un plataformas-puzzle bastante hardcore, con un arte y música geniales, y una historia tan impresionante como surrealista. Es genial como las mecánicas responden a la historia y cómo los puzzles que al principio parecían difíciles van poco a poco encajando en la cabeza según vas completando el juego. Imprescindible, como un cuadro mezclado con un diario en versión jugable. 9 de 10***Time is your tool and enemy. Employ your ability to reverse, slow or otherwise afflict time in some manner to progress, but time also works against you, such as sometimes progressing only as you do. An innovative take on puzzle platformers where the central element is [i]Time[/i].
Lucidity	LucasArts	2009	Vaguely similar in gameplay to Lemmings and whatever else uses the format of placing items and such in the path of character(s) to save them from various dangers so they can reach their destination. However, the objects come randomly with notice on the next object beforehand (akin to Tetris). Essentially Lucidity is a game with the simplicity of Tetris combined with gameplay of Lemmings. Extremely simple and easy, more suited for the younger players.
Torchlight	Runic Games	2009	Un juego RPG estilo Diablo, fiel a las bases del subgénero. Como gran virtud veo el de poder vender el inventario mandando a la mascota y los hechizos de ranura, que permiten aumentar tus capacidades más allá de tu clase y convertir en un gran invocador a tu mascota. El sistema de drops también tiene su gracia. Buen juego. 6 de 10*[b]karmic creatures[/b] - some zombies release poisonous fumes in wide radius upon death, some blobs electrocute anyone hitting them. --- added in patch (2009-12-18) savecloud achievements achievements-steamWord of Ember blazed across the land, and the town of Torchlight flared to life. Ember is the essence of magic and the keystone of alchemy; it lures the restless with promises of power and riches. Miners burrowed deep beneath the dirt streets of Torchlight, discovering veins of the ore richer than any found in living memory- but they were not the first to covet these mines. The miners broke through into the buried past, a dangerous labyrinth of caverns and ruined civilizations, twisted creatures and the bones of those who came before. Evil bubbles up from the depths and threatens to overrun this town as it has so many others. The heart of a villain has infused the Ember, and his darkness seeps through the veins. To survive, the townspeople must break the cycle of destruction; they need a champion who can destroy the evil at its root. Removing the source of the rot may purify the Ember, but it is a long and perilous journey. The champion must battle through rock and fire, through lost cities and ancient tombs, into the palace of the villain himself. The adventure is set in the mining settlement of Torchlight, a boomtown founded on the discovery of rich veins of Ember – a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt all that it contacts. This corruptive power may have dire consequences however, and players set out into the nearby mountains and depths below to discover the full extent of Ember’s influence on the civilizations that have come before. Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests to complete. The endless randomization ensures a long-lived gameplay experience. [b]KEY FEATURES[/b] [b]Randomization[/b] – Our level layouts are randomly created, so each adventure is unique. Monsters, treasures, puzzles, and items are also different each time you embark on an adventure. Easy, approachable interface – Torchlight is designed to be easy to play right from the beginning. The intuitive interface gives players easy access to a rich and varied world. * [b]Retirement System[/b] – Once characters are sufficiently leveled up, they can "retire" and bestow specific benefits and perks to new characters. * [b]Pets[/b] – Players will choose a pet to accompany them. Pets can level up along with the player, and will help in battle, carry items, and perform a variety of helpful services. * [b]Character Classes[/b] – Players will create and customize a character and choose an animal companion. Through cosmetic choices, skill path decisions, and the treasures they acquire, each character will be custom-tailored and different. * [b]Fishing[/b] – Players can take a break from the high-energy pace of adventuring to visit one of the fishing holes and relax and see what they can catch. Fish have interesting benefits for the player and pet, and other rewards can also be discovered * [b]Editor[/b] – Runic Games is embracing our modding community by providing an editor so our players can create and design their own content.**[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP * 800 MHz CPU * 512 MB RAM * 64 MB VRAM * Radeon 7200, GeForce 2 or GMA 950 GPU * 400 MB HD space**[b]Classes:[/b] Vanquisher * Alchemist * Destroyer

Cinders	moacube (SakeVisual;moacube)	2012	Cinders is our fairytale-inspired visual novel, ditching the passive protagonist and banal morals of the original story in sake of a more serious approach. Cinders is an atmospheric visual novel, illustrated by Gracjana Zielinska. It’s a story of four women and what made them who they are, inspired by the classic fairytale of Cinderella. A story about balancing freedom and dreams with circumstance and harsh reality; about growing up and finding out the true meaning of independence. Distancing itself from the judgmental simplicity of the original, Cinders tries to explore the more complex nature of oppression, responsibility and innocence. The game focuses on characters and their motivations, and is heavy on player choices and role-playing. With 120 decision points and over 300 options to choose from, Cinders allows you to shape the main character’s personality and the course of the story. Learn more about the story and themes of Cinders. Why it’s cool: A serious take on a classic fairytale story. Beautiful art by illustrator Gracjana Zielinska. Tons of choices and several different endings. Moody soundtrack by Rob Westwood.
