Would you consider "Socrates Jones: pro philosopher" as relevant to this list, or is it too casual?

Personally I think this is a Dr. Stone kind of apocalypse, where some covert group (In this case probably an AI) fired a global petrification beam that targeted all life except for birds (and maybe invertibrates -trees could not keep on living without them - and reptiles) and the statues eventually crumbled into dust. Also the drivers we see in stadium are not people but just place holder androids. The red to blue barrier shift is probably just because of the research that shows that blue makes people want to play for longer and ubisoft is all about the microtransactions .

Played all the other don't escapes, and can't recommend them enough https://www.kongregate.com/games/scriptwelder/dont-escape https://www.kongregate.com/games/scriptwelder/dont-escape-2 https://www.kongregate.com/games/scriptwelder/dont-escape-3

FYI , epic just released celeste for free for this week, so might as well get it if you don't mind the launcher.

Started playing this after seeing it on the list and as of writing this, I'm about 70% through the campaign. It's a RTS / RPG combo based on the WC3 mechanics but with a much higher unit limit. (this was achieved by making all the common units 2D isometric and only the main units were rendered in full 3D, still looks rather good for the time). My main impressions so far are: Cliche but nice campaign story.(undead attack, scenario 4 or 5 reveals that you need to get a mcguffin to defeat them, you then get mcguffin just to find out it is missing pieces that were spread across civs so you need to go get them from each civ) Started a bit harsh, but now enjoying the gameplay. Maybe I'm just a bad RTSer but it's just hard for me to keep up with the AIs constant "zerg" rush. It has a one track soundtrack kept on a repeat loop, a bit reminiscent of greensleeves. It has very shoddy UI (some clicks don't register, confirming an attack order is right click but confirming a spell cast is left click and cancelling it is right click, no way of cancelling unit selection other than by it dying or by selecting a different unit). On the bright side queuing orders even with magic works well. Serious over acting by the main voice actor makes the story line more funny than serious (he keeps yelling at everyone at the flip of a hat and dissing everyone's opinion, from the commanding officer to the elder druids he needs help from).

To each his own I guess, I personally prefer his calm and deep approach (bringing evidence to his claims rather than just stating, kinda like ross does) to review over the "angry joe" kind of review or the ign snazzy happy go lucky form of reviews. His analysis of dark souls game mechanics for instance made me look at the game in a new light, especially after seeing the video about the "philosophy of dark souls" from a different author.

but will they fix it?

Return of the Obra Dinn (consider the dithering to be sea fog)

Why disable it? I just used it to see which games got the most traction. bug: when I moved to the next page the list stopped being sorted.

Incredible game, if you like pseudo-physics, this game is for you. Haven't played it myself, but watched a let's play of it (I have a crappy machine) so I can't attest of it's controls, but the soundtrack fits amazingly, the mysteries are beautiful and the story line really encaptivating. This is partially a cosmic horror kind of game so it also contains jump scares, so be warned.

I would recommend watching Joseph Andersson's review about who the real villain of this story is

Why is this here? I like a nice Carmeli's game as the next point and click enthusiast but I thought you said no casual games? If you wanna play it that bad just go for it and get it out of your system, it takes on the bottom side of about 1 hour to finish if you don't get stuck too bad (also video walkthrough is available through the question mark symbol on top left corner). To the game: There are 5 areas, each area has about 2-3 screens, it is fool (pun intended) of corny halloween jokes, silly voice acting and very extensive language support. It has a few jump scares and a few other easter eggs. P.s. Why is GaaS set to unkown, is it because flash is being phased out by the big browsers?

You can also download it from https://crowscrowscrows.itch.io/dr-langeskov-the-tiger-and-the-terribly-cursed-emerald-a-whirlwind-heist without the steam client if you are so inclined, but then of course you have no achievements.
