Dropped/Did Not Finish

  1. Trombone Champ – January 12th – game is just impossible for me to play well LOL
  2. Chocolate Factory Simulator – January 31st – loved so much about it, but got repetitive quickly and the opening of new areas/story was  too slow
  3. Tiny House Simulator – February 9th – too janky, may go back to after updates
  4. Grimm’s Folly – March 28th – not enough contextual clues to deal with puzzles, felt like a lot of back and forth – may revisit in future
  5. Elise – April 17th – Like a Wish.com version of Resident Evil with none of the good bits
  6. The Unholy Priest – April 17th – hilarious physics for bodies and tongue firmly in cheek “fast food” style morgue, but got repetitive fast, may revisit as it continues getting updates
