										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="su-heading su-heading-style-default su-heading-align-center" id="" style="font-size:28px;margin-bottom:20px"><div class="su-heading-inner"><strong>Game Review</strong></div></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rainswept is an emotional story where you need to solve a murder mystery.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You play as Michael Anderson. You’re a detective that’s been assigned to an unknown town called Pineview to help out the local police force with a case that’s seemingly simple.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The report is that a couple has been found murdered in their own kitchen. But who killed them?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s the classic whodunit scenario. The local people believe it’s a murder-suicide. After all, the couple has been stated to have a very unstable relationship with each other.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a detective, you don’t believe anyone. It’s up to you to solve the murder mystery and find out what really happened. Or are the townsfolk right? Gather clues and find out!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s a classic detective game where you need to walk around town and talk to people to gather clues. It’s an atmospheric adventure game with artsy pixel work and an original emotional soundtrack. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The game draws you in with its simple graphics and keeps you attentive with a wide variety of characters each having deep histories, meaningful conversations, and swaying personalities. The game delves into touching topics like relationships, breakups, and even trauma.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You need to simply walk around the colorful town of Pineview and talk to people, take notes, and gather clues. There’s a lot of dialogs as it’s almost like a novel, but there’s a ton of adventure elements as well that make it kinda like an RPG. Characters have personalities and you need to talk to everyone to get clues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You also have to search rooms and environments for clues. It has point-and-click elements to it like the original murder mystery games that litter the net where you need to find the clues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&#8217;re into that, this game has it all. You need to search a bunch of objects (most of it is in plain sight) to gather evidence and clues to solve the puzzle.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rainswept is currently available for early access and the game will last you about an hour. It’s worth the play if you’re into storyline-driven gameplay with a touch of exploration, puzzle-solving, and point-and-clicking.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The characters, storyline, and soundtrack will have you playing throughout the entire thing in one sitting. It’s that good.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Toward The Pantheon: Escaping Eternity is a mystery game that focuses on puzzle-solving.</p>
<p>You play as an unknown soldier who wakes up in darkness with a headache. The game is a prequel that tells the story of a soldier. It takes place before the next game in the series- Towards The Pantheon.</p>
<p>In this game, you need to solve puzzles and explore various environments in order to uncover the storyline behind the soldier&#8217;s existence.</p>
<p>It features gorgeous pixel art portrayed in a top-down perspective. The graphics aren&#8217;t exactly retro, but they do have a retro feel. The shading, coloring, and theming are all superb and go together well to tell the story.</p>
<p>The puzzles aren&#8217;t difficult, but they&#8217;re interesting enough to keep your attention. If anything, Towards The Pantheon: Escaping Eternity, makes for an awesome little story. It&#8217;s an atmospheric game with dark music and scary environments.</p>
<p>Try it out.</p>
