USB finder is an investigative game where the player wakes up to find that their belongings are missing! Some scoundrel in the night has obviously come into your dorm room and taken everything while you slept! As you gather your wits you see a note stapled to the door. It reads:

"Dear USB loser, we here at campus are sick of how often you lose your USB stick, so we have decided to punish you by hiding all of your belongings throughout the campus. We have left hints for you at each item you find to lead you to the area the next item resides. Once you have found them all, we will return your USB to you. Good luck, and for God's sake, stop losing your USB!"

You walk outside to find the dorm abandoned, not knowing where to go, you make your way to the cafeteria. There upon the serving bench lies your first clue.

Key Features:

-Hilarious dialogue.

-Intense detective skills.

-Expect to feel a variety of emotions such as confusion, frustration and joy.

-Clues vary from what seems extremely obvious to the most frustrating vague and obscure.

Ever been frustrated by Octodad? Ever wanted to hurl your controller at the screen when playing Surgeon Simulator? Well welcome to a world of the same frustrations, only this time you have to paint a single nail in nail polish. Maneuver your painting hand over the nail and hold the mouse button to drop your brush, be careful not to move though otherwise you may end up painting the mat underneath! Each successful stroke will earn you points while each failure builds your frustration gauge! If this gauge becomes full then it's game over and you have to start again. Completely cover the nail in polish in order to move on to the next round. Objectives can vary from a simple coat of nail polish to utilizing tools like a dotting tool to being complicated like applying base coat, polish, design, top coat AND cuticle oil!

Expect to be frustrated, expect to want to stop playing, this game is designed to be difficult and will only get harder as you progress.

Key features:

-Extremely sensitive mouse movement.

The objective of the game is to replicate the design that appears on screen while trying to balance precision of hand movement with actually drawing the design.

Be warned: this game is not for the easily frustrated nor for those who can't stand the sight of spilled nail polish (wait what am I saying, of course it's for you!) Enjoy a world of frustration and horribly applied art!
