ClassDojo. Classcraft. Minecraft. Sokobond. The Scarecrow. The Scarecrow needs your help to foil the evil plans of Crow Foods and break the crows‘ monopoly on food production and supply in the city of Plenty.

The Scarecrow

Tilt your device to navigate through each level, outsmart the Crowbots, unlock extras, and restore hope for animals, farms, and the environment, while providing the citizens of Plenty a healthy and delicious alternative. With Crow Foods in charge, real food is hard to come by. Carry crates full of fresh vegetables through the dark and dangerous obstacle course of the Crow Foods factory without getting stopped by the ever-present Crowbots. Crow Foods isn‘t real... yet. But every day, fresh, wholesome fare is being replaced with cheap, highly processed grub full of chemicals and preservatives. The city center is full of animals living in confinement when they should be roaming free in pastures. The Talos Principle on Steam. I have read many reviews before I bought this game, and I have to admit.

The Talos Principle on Steam

Most don't give this game enough credit and if I am to be honest, I may fail to do so aswell and I mean that in the best regards.This game takes hours, and I mean hours. It has a non linear path that you can choose, but some areas do have some requirements, it can all be done at your own pace. At the time of this review, I've played 17 hours over two days and I have the feeling I'm not even half way there. Total War.

Plague Inc: Evolved su Steam. 3rd World Farmer: A simulation to make you think. Start the Talk. Start the Talk is an interactive role-playing game that puts parents and caregivers in the shoes of a mother talking with her son about underage drinking.

Players have the opportunity to develop the conversational strategies and confidence necessary to approach, educate and build trust with their own kids about drinking. This game is the newest component of “Talk. They Hear You.”, SAMHSA’s national underage drinking prevention campaign, launched in May 2013. Players are presented with options on how to engage in the conversation as the avatar mom and her son, Michael, reacts and responds in fashion.

Start the Talk gives parents and caregivers to anticipate the consequences of what they say or do and choose their actions mindfully. Press:Children’s Safety Network.

Beyond Eyes. Beyond Eyes shows you the imaginative world of Rae, a 10 year-old girl, as she ventures outside her familiar surroundings in search of a fat cat named Nani.

Beyond Eyes

Rae isn’t like most other girls. She lost her eyesight in an accident with fireworks when she was just a toddler and the experience left her traumatized. Fearing loud noises and public places, she hardly ever leaves her house, preferring to spend her free time in her special garden where everything smells pleasant and all is nice. Some people might feel sorry for Rae, being as isolated as she is, but Rae herself is perfectly content with her life especially after befriending a gorgeous full-figured stray feline she names Nani.

When Nani goes missing Rae finally gains the courage to go outside for the first time on an wonderful and life changing journey to find her missing friend.

Elude. Elude explores the complex landscape of mood by creating a metaphorical gaming experience.

Elude

The goal is to raise awareness and understanding among the friends and family members of those who suffer from clinical depression. The Singapore-MIT GameLab created this game prototype in the summer of 2010. The lab is an ongoing collaboration between Singapore’s higher education institutions and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA. Together they’ve produced dozens of game prototypes to answer academic and game design related questions. Elude was created to elaborate on the deeper effects of depression that someone might face. Mood is portrayed in several ways in Elude.
