I submitted The Talos Principle DLC to the site but it didn't get verified. Do I need to pick something else?

Also, for the giveaway, I'd suggest Return of the Obra Dinn or DUSK

ABC!

2 AM here, will pick some tomorrow... today... after I get up.

Okay, I have to pick some or I won't get my sweet sleep. XD

• observer = Completed
• Satellite Reign = Shame, that I wasn't able to beat it, but I am really close. I am almost done with the last two locations. ;)
• Lost Chronicles of Zerzura = Completed
• 7 Wonders of the Ancient World = Completed

One Way Heroics - Wins with points value being a power of two (4P)

I love this months theme ^-^ Want to play >observer_ (cyberpunk, hacking) and System Shock 2 (cyberpunk).

As for giveaway suggestions - The Red Strings Club is at a 50% discount (7,49€) for another 34 hours and fits this months theme :D Or maybe Gris? (40%, 10,19€)

Will try to do better than last month and not fail miserably. As usual, nice theme, thanks for keeping this challenge alive Mouse <3

:) Hellow,

So, my games for this month may be [Properly edited] :

Now, the Maybe's ones ?

Coming back on Aquaria, since it's moddable, and I really want to catch this parrot. ( Trying to edit a "Parrot's Haven" level, if I can success ? - Though, actually this game have not been tagged as "modable" on steam... :s - So it'll be a "maybe" for both reasons. )

The others may be Artificial Defense and Dwarfs!?, but, again, I don't want to overwork myself, this month. :/

( Luckily, it seems there will be no real "crappy games" to chose, this time... ^^" )

View attached image.

Glass Masquerade -- I've started it only 2 days ago, so I'm counting that progress towards this if you dont mind! :D

And this month I can actually play my single SG win! Windlands (20P)

Added 3 games so far - might be a bit busy this month so I'm slacking off a bit in terms of the hours I can put in :P

• Time Mysteries 3: The Final Enigma - Puzzle
• Fortified - Robot/Androids
• The Signal From Tölva - Robot/Androids

layers of fear
PS I think you have made a typo: octover in stead of october

Time to get back to the time management game, since I want to clear out my Steam badges as much as I can by the end of the year. I have two time managers with cards, two of the three New Yankee games, so I am starting to tackle that series this month.

This time I will start with a few games only and add others at a later date :)

Candle - Puzzle - Completed

Added on 2019-09-22:
Sins Of The Demon RPG - 2P - Beaten

Added on 2019-09-29
Hook - 1P - Completed

I'm taking the power of two route and play these very old wins of mine :3

• Masha Rescues Grandma
• The Seasons

Cutting down this month due to school. Going to start with three and not expect to finish all of them. At least this time they're games I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy as opposed to last month's bad controls extravaganza.

1. 911 Operator: Point value is a power of two. Beaten! but after the deadline :(
2. Journey To The Center Of The Earth: Puzzles. Played, briefly
   • Won this a long time ago, it's about time I actually gave it a try.
3. Planets Under Attack: Robots or Androids. Verified
   • Started playing this last month but got stuck. Going to give it another go!

Notes:
911 Operator: Submitted as the base game for my 911 Operator: Special Resources DLC win. (4p)
Journey To The Center Of The Earth: Doesn't have any achievements, so I guess I'll have to submit a screenshot when I finish?

Hi,

1. Metro 2033 redux is fitting the cyberpunk category?
2. Papo & Yo is a puzzle game?
3. Gunpoint is a puzzle?
4. Destiny Warriors RPG cost 2P to enter.
5. Gris is not a puzzle, right?

Filtered my library on a few of the tags, still debating what I actually want to play but Ill figure that out later ^^

Running low on cyberpunk etc games. I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream seems to fit the AI description well, so I would like to try that one to start and see if I can find more.

I'd like to try "Terra Incognita Ch.1 The Descendant" (1P). I had shelved it after getting stuck on a quest early on, I think with renewed energy I can beat it!

Just won & completed The Turing Test!

For this month I have big ambitions, let's see how far I'll get into it. :P Someone let me know if I messed up and something doesn't fit the theme!

¹ Ubisoft game so achievements only show up in the Uplay client. I'm still marking the achievement number here for funsies even if they don't contribute to Steam stats.

Signed up for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (cyberpunk)

I will try Frostpunk. If I'm not mistaken there are automatons in it (steampunk robots ?? :))

Mind Snares: Alice's Journey

Puzzles.

Late entry since I only just got back from a trip. Probably not gonna do all of the games? Might not have enough time, but we'll see. :3

I plan to play:
Power of 2:

1. Sins of the Demon (2P) - I haven't played an RPGMaker game in months, so I'm glad to get back to my love for old-school rpgs (^_^)
2. Sparkle 2 (8P) - It's been almost a decade since I last played a match-3 puzzle game so I hope I don't need to use guides for this L(o_o)7

My pick for this month's game is SOMA.

I've often seen this event but never had any time to try participating. Time to start clearing my backlog! :D

• 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek - Completed
• Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus - Beaten
• Torchlight II - Beaten
• Dex - Beaten

Last-minute entry with a tiny game I've just won today: Hook (Puzzle + Point value 1P)

Sorry for not joining earlier or with a bigger game, my September is a bit crazy! :)

Hope I'm not too late :)
I'd like to participate with game HIVESWAP: Act 1 (The power of 2 - 8P), which I just started today

Edited: I just realized, that I've already finished another game, which fit the month theme O.o
JYDGE - it has a Cyberpunk tag. I guess it's fine for theme?

So finally I beat Saints Row 2. Probably won't complete it, as there are some sidequests where the game crashes all the time.
From my playtime there have been about 10h afk, you can deduct them if you want. Also have some Screens

P.S.: Thank you for hosting the event, it's a real nice extra motivation!

Sept is a great month for comeback, finished last month's unfinished Shadow of War which took me 41hrs...(HLTB stated 20 hrs which is totally impossible with the grinding Shadow wars... ;_; , I don't know how they did it...), but the ending was really beautiful and worth it, hoping to make some progress in the last two days.

I have a second entry :)
Just completed Wells, which qualifies because it is a 4P = 2^2 points GA. Before september I think I had about 6.5h playtime and nearly beat it.
But it was clunky as hell(because of my potatoe and because it doesn't have graphic options and because unity sucks :D) so I couldn't finish the last level. But I realised I could also lower my own screen resolution and it got much less clunky, enough to beat the normal mode and complete the ng+. In the end this game still got me to curse many times and I dislike it wholeheartedly :D But it's a SG win so I had to complete it if somehow possible

Just wanted to update my entry for the game EGO Protocol as beaten, but the website didn't let me. Sorry to bother you with that ^^

Why I'm not on the list? I finished 3 games in this month.

I'm open to any constructive suggestion (add, edit or even remove subthemes).
If you like one of the suggested subthemes or more then one, please reply to the suggestion or this comment. At the end of the month, I'll add some of the most popular ideas to the main theme.

"Winter is coming"

• Rpg
• Gore
• Medieval
• Strategy
• Turn based
• Story rich
• Nudity tag
• Tower Defense
• Games containing dragons
• Games with Ice or Fire in the name
• 1/ Games with vaporware sequels (by CharlesNonsens)
• 2/ Winter-themed games or games where the actions take place in winter (by Ardiffaz)
• 3/ Games with terrible endings (by Hassat)
• 4/ Games based on a book (by Ardiffaz)

November is my birthday month :) And since there was no Halloween Zombie whatever theme for October, here we go:

Born to raise hell

• Games where the ID includes 6
• Games featuring monsters, demons, devils and other dark creatures (of course also werewolves :D)
• Games featuring fire or heat
• Games where you raise living beings
• Games where you fly (by yourself or with planes etc.)
• Dark
• Gore
• Gothic
• Horror
• Perma Death
• Post-apocaliptic
• Villian protagonist
• Violent
• Difficult games
• Games won on your birthday 😇

Well... Since I sadly, always seens November as being "The Worst Month in a year", let's rejoice \ o / :

"Have a Nice-Garbage Month !"

. Really crappy games. ( = Like "Bad Rats", or even worse... )
. Games located on a dump/garbage sites ( Or implying garbages... )
. Games with some deliberately losers or/and awful Protagonists/Npc's
. Depressive's games. (I know, it may be subjective... )
. ...And on the reverse, games nice enough to fight against depression. ;)

Giving this a shot! Since us ladies got our moment with our own PAGYWOSG month, I thought maybe November is the best time to give the guys their moment too :)

"Movember"

The Movember Foundation was started to raise awareness of men's health issues, namely prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

• Games with male protagonist/s (the protagonist doesn't have to be human)
• Games where the protagonist sports a cool mustache/beard/facial hair of any sort
• Games won or released in November
• Games where you grow stuff (like growing out a mustache/beard) including farm games, gardening games, etc
• Games that are designed to raise awareness and/or for charity (Not a lot of these games out there but well... it fits the theme)
• Sports games (to raise awareness regarding physical inactivity)
• Games that deal with depression/mental health
• Games won from male SGer

Not a lot of game categories here so feel free to suggest some more! :P

Fall in to Spring or Spring into Fall? Since, for those in the southern hemisphere November is actually spring time, so trying to be inclusive of both.
Fall - sad or disturbing games (psychological games like Cat Lady, Distraint etc,) slow, contemplative games and walking sims (like Talos Principal), games that take place in autumn (even partially), games that are heavily narrative (story rich), games that present mysteries to be solved (like HOGs or mystery/adventure games).
Spring - games that involve growing things/farming, games where plants are featured or are characters, games that take place in spring (or partially) games that are upbeat and energetic ie lighthearted metroidvania, platformers, and adventure games. Since animals are generally born in spring, games that include baby animals as characters, pets etc.

Games that are very colorful like spring and autumn are. Games that have "nature" tag.

Floundering a bit to find more tags, so if anyone likes the theme, feel free to suggest more types of games that might fit in.

Bump/ can't expand on it right now, but will edit in the evening.
Theme: movie night
edit: I'm a horribly forgetful person.

Theme: movie Night / something like that - thing is the "it's cold so we spend the afternoon-night inside with games". Up for change, I had the concept sooner than the name)

Games that are based on movies
Games that have movies based on them
Co-op / Splitscreen / local games
Games where there are no individual protagonist, you control more than one person/a group/party of them
"Interactive movie" type of games ( Life is Strange, Telltale ones)
Games that connect to movie making/cinematography
(games that are featured in subscription models - HB monthly, uPlay+, Origin Access, Gamepass PC - you can rent them as you could rent from Blockbuster or so to have something for the evening. This is a fucking wide category so in brackets)

Yep, same. But Halloween is not a thing in most of the world(including where I leave) so I guess it makes sense?

Any idea if they actually still show up as 64 points or did they drop down to 50?

Will you join us this month or still on hiatus? ;)

Welcome and have fun :)

Congrats on beating a win for September is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month,
you can request to join the group here if you want. Giveaway links should be available on the site in the following days.

hm the August theme is closed but maybe it includes either robots/androids or artificial intelligence?

I voted for that one because I want to play some HOGs :D

I totally can not see that going wrong :D

Linux native support is indeed rare, but a lot of games can be played through Proton - some sort of Windows emulator for Linux, tuned by Valve especially for gaming purposes.
If you want to check whether the game runs well with Proton or not, you can check https://www.protondb.com - any game with Native/Platinum/Gold status can be considered as LInux-friendly.

West of Loathing, Despotism 3k, The Hex, Short Hike, ISLANDERS, Equilinox - can't do because I am unable to gift in all regions and no Steam keys :(
while True: learn() - would want to wait a bit longer before repeating games
Pikuniku, Agatha Knife - bookmarked for future use

Thank you very much for the suggestion. And thank you for mentioning that addon. Since I game on Linux only I will definitely try it out as it will come indelibly handy if it works properly :)

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1055540/A_Short_Hike/

If you bought HB monthlies, check your keys, as a HB original it got Steam keys a few weeks? ago, maybe you even own it without realising it. (Or if you're not Steam-fanatical, it's in the HB Trove to get if you are subbed)

Sorry for the super late answer, was a bit busy today. Yep it is fine to submit that one. Here is the FAQ question about this situation and you can check the other ones too if anything else is unclear. If you have any more questions after that please feel free to ask.

It is set to 31th of August so people can submit games a bit before (and something with the server time isn't working properly). The official start of the month it is with the 1st of September.

You playtime has already been approved so if you wish you can request to join the Steam group. The giveaways will be visible on the website in a few days :)

Congrats! I am looking forward to when you are properly joining us again :)

Since mouse has gone to bed, I'll answer your question. Yes you can as you can also find in the FAQs.,

?
I never mention 20 being power of 2 anywhere?

HOGs? Sure.

Congrats on beating a win for September is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month,
you can request to join the group here if you want. Giveaway links should be available on the site in the following days.

A giveaway for Purrfect Date added to the website :)

Sorry to hear you got so many problems with it but I am super glad it worked in the end :) And it kinda fits perfectly to the theme that you had to mod it so much :) As for the answer to your question: it is not a problem if it doesn't have achievement and some screenshots showing that you finished the game are always appreciated :)

Have fun. IMO SR2 is the best Saint's Row.

Happy cake day. :)

Oooooooo subscribed to the logo for when I get around playing that game :)

Well I'm not mouse, just her work slave ;)
But if it comes with a game pack or as an extra game that you've won on SG I would think it counts. I was allowed to play both Faerie Solitaire and Fairie Solitaire Remastered, even though I only won Faerie Solitaire here and the Remastered version automatically gets activated with the same key.

Just let us know in the comment to your entry that it was activated with the game that you've won on SG (name of game would be greatly appreciated). Then I see no problems here.
