Language Spy: Covert Contact by Vance (Stand Off Software) ( Download here) Visually and especially acoustically, it was a satisfying experience that leaves us waiting to find out more about our two main characters and the mysterious package they’re carrying. Short but sweet – Analog Limb developed the Package in just one day! While it only took us a few minutes to finish it, it sets a great basis for more content.

Our second round included another selection of four games, this time including The Package, Language Spy: Covert Contact, Torus Trap, and We’ve Been Trying to Contact You. The Will of Arthur Flabbington has great pixel art, awesome humor (it’s not hard to notice that we had fun with this, regarding the screenshot!), and puzzles that made us think without being frustrating.

We enjoyed every minute of it, not least because of its beautiful soundtrack.Ĭontact is a game about a young woman who is faced with the fate of her family after being contacted by her father and making her way home.
