finally got around to finishing this, and will probably start the third pretty soon as well. this time around, the collection of games is mostly good! unlike last time, there's nothing in here i REALLY disliked. most of them had their merits or at the very least cool concepts. so anyway, here's my review for each in the order I played them:

- Arcadletra: i started off with the one from the timore dev because i think his games are unintentionally funny. was pleasantly surprised that this is a somewhat more mature and interesting game from him! although not nearly the same quality as some of the others in this collection. no idea what story this game is trying to get across or why it's set in an arcade

- Squirrel Stapler: i love you david szymanski. although i think the map is a bit too big and this game takes a bit too long, this was probably my favorite in the collection. the ending is worth all the time spent hunting.

- Sucker For Love: silly little game that's also kinda fun

- The Diving Bell: really loved this one, probably the most interesting story in the collection. super immersive and feels longer than it is (in a good way!)

- Touched By An Outer God: really fun little doom-esque arena shooter. getting upgrades was very satisfying.

- The Toy Shop: was really enjoying this one's world, narrative, and atmosphere up until you get a gun and it gets frustratingly difficult. not bad but the enemies are way too annoying for what the game is.

- Solipsis: maybe my second favorite game in the collection, and its only about 5-7 minutes long. a short, highly polished and legitimately scary experience with a really great visual style.

- Another Late Night: as with the last collection, i'm not a big fan of secret cow level's games. this one just kinda happens and i wasn't sure if i was supposed to be doing anything other than reading the stuff that comes up on screen. i was excited for this one too because it takes place on a fake computer desktop, so i suppose i was expecting some kind of file digging gameplay. instead, that presentation doesn't seem to mean anything as all the files you can click have nothing to do with the game. oh well. it's not horrible, it creeped me out a little.

- The Thing In The Lake: love the presentation and even the mechanics but it's just a bit too frustrating. i actually never even completed chapter 4 the main way (i found some kinda secret UFO ending) because i couldn't find the left arm or something. thankfully, the UFO ending seemed to count. i do like this game but i have no idea how to finish it, and attempting to finish it just gets me killed by a monkey.

- Charlotte's Exile: SUPER cool little puzzle game where you decipher an ancient language. the first time that the creature makes a loud noise when i looked up scared the shit out of me. really atmospheric and tense. love this one!

- To The End Of Days: a fun little cheesy shooter. good music too! i like how all their games seem connected.

- Undiscovered: last but definitely not least, i can say i'm definitely a fan of torple dook. this game is in 2nd person, which is kind of insane. the animations are fantastic as well as the aesthetic. really good!

- finally, the launcher itself: LOVE the presentation here. having to solve a little puzzle inbetween each game (which is how i did it) is super cool. the ending was a bit anticlimactic though.

overall, i enjoyed this collection even more than the first! i'm really looking forward to starting the third, and whatever else the dread x team have in store.
