This week we have some pretty special games on sale for you to play on your Chromebook or Android device! We’re particularly excited about reviewing The Lion’s Song soon, which is one of those unique games we’re always in search of. It focuses on the struggle of creativity, human connection and inspiration. As a game developer, this strikes close to home for me! Its unique mechanic looks like it may visualize the protagonist’s creativity which intrigues me.
We also have Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise, which is a point and click game and Railways, which is a timing based train game. Several Square Enix games are still on sale from our last deals post too. There are other great deals as well, so be sure to check them out and let us know in the comments what you decided to grab! Happy gaming!
The Lion’s Song
The Lion’s Song is an episodic adventure game created by Vienna-based independent developer Mi’pu’mi Games. The Lion’s Song is steeped in early 20th century history and focusses on a cast of Austrian artists and scientists with each episode taking a closer look at their intimate struggles with creativity and inspiration. Each episode follows a different character, that possesses an exceptional mind and the game draws players into a story of personal struggle for creativity, human connections and inspiration:
A talented composer suffering from writer’s block just before her breakthrough concert, an up-and-coming painter growing through his challenges and a brilliant mathematician trying to make her voice heard in a men’s world. While episode 4 will take players on a mysterious train journey that connects the storylines of all previous episodes. Emotions will run high as players make connections with each character, and work to navigate and experience their lives in different ways with different outcomes.
The choices players make in this episode will have a direct impact on the storylines of all future and past episodes, connecting The Lion’s Song to one overarching narrative. The decisions made will ultimately determine if the protagonists find the success they are working for.
