Tengu is a phone app based around the Japanese lore of spirits and Gods. It is a top down game where you start off with a run down shrine, your job as the new care taker is to repair and restore the shrine to its former glory by fending off evil spirits/tengu by building up the shrines defense with money. To earn money you must also increase the shrines popularity with people so that more people come and pay tribute, the more money you spend on appearances the more people that come which will increase the income, the more you put into spiritual defenses the less damage you take from attacks from the tengu there by saving on repairs.
You're given the same amount of space each time you start the game but where and how you build up the shrine will be your choice, different builds have different appeals each having a rating of defense and appeal, usually standing out in one of the 2 main bonuses, but with limited amount of space you must build up the shrine and survive all the waves of tengu to earn the achievement. The game becomes progressively harder as you go through the levels and also comes with a survival mode where you have all the buildings available to you and the difficulty becomes harder the longer you play the game.
VR children's game, a game based on playing with oversized blocks that pretty much resemble giant lego but inside a virtual reality. The game can be used many ways but primarily to build simple or random things out of the blocks by using the VR handles to pick up and place, simple instructions can be toggled on and off as well as options to enable removing blocks that have other blocks stacked on top without the blocks above it flying off.Activities that come with the game are tutorials that have preplanned structures and other objects that shows you where to place the next block by way of a ghost like transparent example of where you would put the next block. There is also a demolition mode where you load into small or large premade structures that you are free to pull apart and smash down, this encourages kids to not hold back and make as much of a mess as they want without having to clean anything up as well as the chance to play and build things on a larger scale.
A 1st person thriller and mystery. Based around the once ordinary life of a working man, each chapter of the game is based a series of separate events in your life that are all usually based within a week or even a couple of days of each other.
When you start the game you play a series of around 6-8 memories of your life in a completely random order and they nearly never have any indication on what time or day it is, once you play through them all you're given all pieces of your memory again to put them into a different order, when you do you play through the events again, depending on how you ordered the memories it can change the things you learn, see or even do, but each time you play the memories you come across more and more hidden clues that slowly reveal what's going on as well as hints to the correct order of the memories. The more memories you have the more accurate the facts become and the more you can discover, but if you keep putting memories in the wrong order it can start to create chaos in the memories and provide false truths.
Throughout the game as you interact with the few people in your memories and the objects and clues in your environment you are given choices as to what they may lead to, the more facts you get correct the closer you get to mapping out what the mystery is and what its answer is.
In earlier chapters you learn the mystery in the memories as you play while in the later chapters mystery is unclear and it's up to you to figure out how to solve it.
Though most levels repeat similarly each time you play them they have slight changes depending on the order you put the memories in as if the memories are automatically trying to make sense of themselves making it harder for you to discern what order the events in the memories happened in, also, depending on what you learn in some memories you can open opportunities in others. In the end the aim is to find the hidden truth in each of the hidden memories as accurately as possible and to correctly order the memories by following the clues and patterns.

2D app. In this demolition game you have to bring down as much of the building/s as possible, the more pieces broken the more points you get. Each level you're given a limited amount of TNT and a limited area to place said TNT, usually around the lower half of the building/buildings. Some levels have solid beans that are harder to knock down and other levels may have buildings outside of the demolition area and can only be knocked down, as well as other obstacles that you'd need to think outside the box to beat the level, there is also bonus points if you complete the level with TNT to spare.
You can place TNT in the space that is highlighted as long as there is also gaps in the building structure to place it. With all the TNT you've placed you can add timers onto each individual TNT up to a maximum of 3 seconds delay to help bring down the building entirely, if one TNT is in close enough proximity to another it will detonate at the same time regardless of a delayed timer, the detonations start once you press the 'Ready' button on the screen.
Vehicular Rage is a 3D game based mostly around destroying traffic as well as reaching your destination as fast as you can whilst enjoying launching vehicles into the air like majestic beasts. Set mostly on highways your standard vehicle is a customizable car with a sort of scoop/large shovel attached to the front to toss aside other vehicles, the bigger the vehicle you trash the more points you get, but bigger vehicles slow you down more. Combo streaks by continuously destroying cars on both sides of the road in close succession to get bonus points, but watch out for large trucks as they can total your vehicle no matter what kind you use. Seen from the their perspective of the car the controls are pretty simple and the game can be play multiplayer co-op or competitively. Unlocks come in the form of customizations to your vehicle as well as unlocking different vehicles that allow for new game modes, such as carnage mode with the monster truck or speed mode with the motorcycle where you have to avoid every vehicle whilst going at much faster speeds.
Zombie invasion. In this game it is your job as the zombie king to spread your virus and get all the humans turned into zombies until you've taken the whole town/city. Unfortunately as a zombie you aren't too bright and the best idea you can come up with to help spread your zombie greatness is by launching your fellow zombies from a conveniently placed catapult.
Starting with only a few zombies you must launch them where they can spread the virus the easiest, every zombie launched creates more zombies depending on where they land and the zombies then make their way back to you, the zombie king.
Firing a zombie requires you to to drag and pull from the spot of the catapult and release to fire, you are given a vague directional arrow as a guide but it doesn't show how much power you are using to fire making aiming more of a challenge.
One of the main challenges is the lack of zombies you start off with and every time you fire a zombie you can't fire it again until it walks back to you with reinforcements, at the same time if you take to long the humans will group up and start to fight back, if they reach the king zombie you lose. The strategy comes in with balancing how far you launch the zombie, if you launch it closer it gets back to you sooner but with less zombies than if you're launched it further away, once you reach the required number of zombies needed you can take over the town and move onto the next one.
A 2D phone app side scroller or mini game on computer, basically you play a mischievous small boy with unusually large hands for scooping up mud and throwing it. The premise is to get from one end of the obstacle course to the other (left to right), your one ability is to scoop up mud off the ground to make a mud pie and throwing it ahead of you, throwing mud has two uses, temporarily hold an enemy(adult) in place for you to safely jump over or to create a higher point to jump from of fill up some hole, e.g. throwing mud at the base of a wall that is to high to reach with a normal jump. Every time you scoop up mud you leave a small dip in the ground under you essentially destroying the environment, but scooping up mud in one place is dangerous or you'll trap yourself in a whole.
Due to the incredibly large hands every mud pie you throw creates a mound as tall as you making it easy to create large mounds of mud to help you get over obstacles.
On the phone the game can only be played while on its side. On the far left side of the screen are two buttons controlling left and right movement of the player, to scoop up mud you slide your finger down across the screen, you can scoop up and carry a maximum of two scoops of mud pie at any time. To jump you slide your finger up across the screen and to throw a mud pie you only need to tap the screen, to do a higher and stronger throw you can double tap the screen. The controls are similar for the computer except for using the arrow keys for moving, jumping, picking up mud and mouse clicking to through it.

Uncharted Seas made to be close to a sailing simulator with a few changes and short cuts because sailing a ship is obviously very complicated. The basic premise of the game is that you're an ambitious man or women beginning their life as a captain of a small ship for the first time, after learning the basics of the game you can chose between 3 main pathways, joining the British Navy which focuses on military force type objectives, 2nd is joining the Spanish which has a larger focus on economy and trading between the ports and excels in amassing great wealth and power/influence, the 3rd option is Pirating focusing mostly on betrayals and pillaging trading ships and rising in notoriety.
In any pathway you choose there is always space to change sides and given the freedom of choice you have in the game you often have the opportunity to change your mind, though always changing sides can slow down your progress and make you miss out on other bonuses. A major part of the game is gaining the gold and experience by completely high difficulty missions to upgrade your ship and rank, you can also hire better crew or if you're good at sea battles your crew can gain experience and become more efficient in all areas.
As seen in the image the game is best enjoyed by a 3rd perspective of the ship you sail but can also be played in an adjustable birds i view, this would be used mostly for strategy in sea battles as all factors can play into the outcome of a battle, like the speed/maneuverability of the ship, its strength and its crew, the direction and power of the wind and your ability to use it to your advantage. In the bird's eye view you can turn on strategy mode to see water currents, wind speed/direction, ships stats and other guides.
The game can be played on consoles such as XboxOne and PS4 as well as computer. Your hud shows you a multi-purpose compass showing you the direction of your ship as well as doubling as the wheel of the ship to control direction, you also have a mini map and the stats of your ship and crew which can all be toggled on and off. The game is complicated but is near accurate to the knowledge needed to sail a ship but if you master the game you can also play online and test your strategy against other players on equal footings.

You play the servant of the Nameless Spirit called Jack, living in an industrial steampunk city. The entity is known by many as being one of many spirits now thought to be nothing but myth, but some still serve and pray to the old spirits, and the ones that pray to the Nameless Spirits are answered when they pay the price. After giving your soul to the Nameless Spirit to exact revenge, you are rewarded his white mask which gives you the power to replicate the identity of man or women you see, changing your whole appearance and voice in an instance.
This is a game played in both 3rd person and 1st person, switching between the 2 depending on what part of the game you're in, you dont control the camera change but you can still control its direction. In the nearly all the action sequences, quick time events and chase/run scenes the camera pulls you into an immersive 1st person view and when combined with VR the sudden change in the way you have to play keeps the player on his/her feet, whilst in 3rd person you feel you are more playing the nameless spirit watching the player from the constant distance occasionally remarking on the situation (this aids in story, as a guide and or clues as what to do or where to go, and tips on how to first play the game). This unusual dynamic of switching the player from 3rd to 1st person(sometimes at unexpected times) makes the player think more creatively in the way they accomplish things.
Playing mostly the role of an assassin you must use your greatest power of changing your appearance to accomplish your goals. You may be after information, helping someone or killing someone, either way you are always pushed to avoid being caught as you can only steal the identities of people you've recently seen, and if people become too suspicious of you the spell breaks and you revert back to a man wearing the white mask.
