While this game is short, I made a stronger connection to the squares in this than I have with any other games NPCs. The naration is just spot on and I really with that Mike Bithell brings it to GOG at some point. There is already a DRM free release but I need it here on GOG as well.
Many years ago I saw this little game on the PS3 store and thought to myself "Surely a platformer about squares and rectangles is nothing special." and dismissed it entirely for a couple of years. But then one day I watched a video by the late TotalBiscuit (rest in peace) where he gushed about how he fell in love with this game for a couple of minutes before moving onto the next subject, which in turn did make me a bit more open to trying it. Not long after that, I found the game was free for Playstation Plus, being a subscriber back then I decided to try it and kept an open mind, and wow I was blown away by how much I loved it.
A truly wonderful and emotional journey about squares and rectangles meeting up together, making friends and forming alliances, working together to overcome not only their obstacles but also their fears, self doubts and loneliness. The gameplay was simple but really enjoyable puzzle platforming goodness, and the story was absolutely wonderful. I would happily pick this up in a heartbeat the moment it would arrive on GOG.
It's an artsy platformer game without being so up itself that it sees what it had for breakfast. You get time to breathe, time to think, and more importantly the narration isn't constantly banging on about the atom bomb or whatever Braid was about. It's a game ultimately about teamwork, as in the style of the Lost Vikings, but with a bit more than "Stab, shield and run".

Nightmare CreaturesThe story behind Nightmare Creatures draws upon gothic horror elements of the 19th century. The story begins in 1666, when a devil-worshipping cult called the Brotherhood of Hecate were conducting sinister experiments in London so as to take over the city and then the world. The Brotherhood tried to develop an elixir that would endow them with superhuman powers. However, rather than creating their intended superhumans, their experiments created only grotesque monsters. When they decided to use these creatures as an army of conquest, one of their number, Samuel Pepys, set their headquarters on fire, resulting in the First Great Fire of London. The game takes place in 1834 when London falls victim to several evil occurrences. Monster sightings are reported along with news of people mutating into ungodly creatures, and that the dead are waking from their graves and walking amongst the living. All of London is in a panic and vulnerable to the schemes of Adam Crowley, a mad scientist and occultist enlisting the help of the Brotherhood.Action Horror Survival
ShadowrunShadowrun is an action role-playing game.It was adapted from the cyberpunk role-playing game Shadowrun.The game is the second video game adapted from Shadowrun, and has a more open ended style of gameplay than its 1993 Super NES counterpart, Shadowrun by Beam Software.
The game is set in the Shadowrun universe, in the 2050s. A time where the blending of technology and human flesh is common; it is around the time the Matrix, a huge computer network, came online, with the ability to jack into its cyberspace directly. It was also a time of magic renewal: a phenomenon known as The Awakening occurred, where magic returned into the world. Sorcery was once again possible, and slowly and seemingly at random humans began to mutate into orcs, dwarves, elves or trolls. This time of upheaval was not without political conflicts: mega-corporations began to control the world. But with their magic, native shamans threatened them and the world geography came to a complete change. The Amerindians and Elves reclaimed an area called Salish-Shidhe, close to the free city of Seattle, a major city in the newly formed United Canadian and American States.Open world Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox
