Hi everybody, this is Halloween Special Weekday Escape 2!
BOO! It's Halloween time again! Only Halloween themed games are featured this week, starting with two Amajetos, as good as always with quality and solid puzzles, but different in their visual aspects. Usawanhouse mixes horror and humour to create funny game (successfully) and the same approach takes atmospheric Esklavos with lovely art on top. No1game entices you with the promise of a Halloween Party to a dark apartement...curiously enough, the promise is true, you just have to catch few green guys before the party begins. Minoto wants you to get ready poor hungry bear for trick or treating!

There is a saying that you can't appreciate the good without having some of the bad, and that sometimes you don't know what you have until it disappears for good. Gone Fireflies is a game about love, loss, loneliness, and maybe a bit of empathy mixed in. You begin as detective James Reed called out in the middle of the night to investigate an apparent suicide of a woman and the disappearance of her husband, Thomas May. You play as both men - the detective and the husband - as you try to untangle the story that runs deeper within them, in the process discovering the connection between.

After coming home to his besieged kingdom, Luger Huntress finds himself imprisoned in the arms of another, along with his beloved sister Lotti. Much to his horror, he finds that his sister Lotti is to be engaged to one whom he regards as a heathen, a member of House Greaval. Ultimately having no other options, he reluctantly bides his time in the castle, where he begins to make himself at home. But even as his plush surroundings begin to grow on him, and he sees the House's royalty in a gradually more positive light, he can't help but be reminded that a gilded cage is still a cage nonetheless.

It's time for a break - Retro Weekday Escape brings four games for your fun!

You get lost (twice) in Esklavos' lovely small world connected with ours by magical gate, locked by four locks at the moment unfortunately. After you escape it (twice), you find yourself in Ichima's room without any visible exit and with several secrets which make game more entertaining than expected. Suzunari's room is absolute classic with many clever puzzles.

In Doppleganger, you have the (mis)fortune of having to chase after your perhaps insatiable curious cat. It ran straight into a temple full of booby traps and mystical powers, and it looks like you're going to need to follow it in and coax it out. While Schrodinger may have posed the problem of whether a cat in a box is dead or alive, in In Doppleganger it looks like your cat is always somewhere you're not looking! Your task is to journey through this temple and see if you can find your feline friend, with the aid of some unusual platforming mechanics.

Hi! Quality time ahead - the new Weekday Escape is here!

All three games in this WE are pleasing the eye - Amajeto's latest creation with changed graphics is attractive and neat, blue and white, and also practical, as players can't overlook any item. MysteriousBox takes you for a trip to the mountains and autumn afternoon atmosphere is amazing here. The last game by Ichima is another island adventure - islands, especially tropical ones, are really suitable for relaxing escapes with their blue sky and sea, yellow sand and green palm trees, and sounds of waves. Seagulls though are silent or flew off.

BestLuck is a mystery emotional atmospheric adventure game. In the infinite growing forest, you only lean onto the girl to find a path and solve the puzzle by witnessing clues that are visible only through certain door frames. Its atmosphere has ambiguities between what horror-game has and what romance game narrative goes.

You are a henchman in the infamous Gotham City, and unfortunately, a henchman seeking a new job. Dissatisfied with your current boss, you think surely it can't be too difficult to land a new gig. After all, what's the worst they can have you do to land the position? Spit in someone's face? Toilet paper their house? Get reference letters from your previous boss? All nope, nope, and nope, but you're getting warmer. Who would have guessed that your task would be a job interview?

Autumn is coming, days start getting shorter - good, more time for playing!The Weekday Escape is here!

This week are all three games animals themed; the creators' approach to animals is different though. The room by tomoLaSiDo overflows with tame chipmunks which can be easily catched so the only problem stays to find them. Kamonosoukutsu's animals are very civilised, wearing human dress, knowing how to use a chair and even having human wishes. Dassyutu's animal is predatory and ferocious, maybe hungry too, and very dangerous. Will you escape?

What do you see when you look in the mirror?, Articallosaurus begins by asking us in an innocent-enough seeming question. You are presented with three options in the form of shapes, showing you a square, a triangle, and a circle. And as if to forebode something ominous, an eye appears on the screen, blood-red and boring into your skull in a somewhat less than friendly way.

This time, everything starts coming together. The latest Rusty Lake project, Cube Escape: Paradox has arguably the most unique player experience in the series. Accompanied by a short live feature (which I personally recommend watching after finishing Chapter 1 - it contains some spoilers), Paradox blends amazing production value and multimedia elements with the gameplay that Rusty Lake fans know and love. The game is divided into two installments, with Chapter 1 free to play (donations encouraged), and Chapter 2 available for a minute fee.

Welcome! New Weekday Escape is here, relaxing and entertaining!

You start locked in tomoLaSiDo's room, where are hidden six blue-and-white capsules (necessary for escape) and five little fans (side quest); however, you have to deal with the fans in the main game link too. Then Kamonosoukutsu - no, not a new developer - just one more alias of Kamotokamotokamo - takes you to a small café and makes you hungry with all the delicious desserts they offer here. MysteriousBox wants you to escape strange place looking quite like spaceship interior - but after you get out of here, you aren't in the space but in Shiesuta's living room. And you stay here for a while, as puzzles are many.

Have a good time and enjoy!

The monkeys are back, and need your help once more! Feed the ducks, gather shuriken, and explore a (maybe?) haunted ship.

Made for the GBJAM 6 by Daniel Moreno, RoboBlaster is a very bit tribute to the GameBoy version of MegaMan. The little RoboBlaster acts, handles and shoot exactly like MegaMan which, in my opnion, makes it very familiar and very cute. The game acts like a very solid MegaMan clone, and I honestly think that when the dev puts more time in this project (this game was made in 4 days) he would have a solid full game upon his hands.
