hello again;d
thank you then for telling me about the game, now I'm participating in the distribution. I wanted to ask if you could help me make a list of very short games, I don't know if I have them or not. Or that it would be possible to get a cheap and short one from trades, for beating
I know this
SCP : Secret Files -
Shady Part of Me
Sticky Business
Figment
Buy Figment 2: Creed Valley
Genesis Noir
Loddlenaut
Fashion Police Squad
Carto
Blue Fire
A Juggler's Tale
but they are still quite big, I especially don't like point and click games

Thanks for your list, I have few games from this. And the time to complete it is to beat and not to full complete.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can send you a list from my own notes later today as well. Though make sure to double check if/what Humble monthly it is from on Barter. List is still unsorted so would have to check if the game has a story/end achievement for the challenge. You can always check how long the games take to beat on HowLongToBeat as mentioned in the comment above mine.
But yeah, can send you a list later today to help out, just make sure to double check it. Happy to help ^-^/

where can you send it? I have a discord nickname FruitCober

As I posted on previous event... I'm doing a (games) spreadsheet for this event where it's if you can do the game and what's needed etc..
Can't edit but can comment because I'm a little bit scared of trolls.. Spreadsheet
Also on the side note I'm creating a website for this event (just as a hobby/for learning), Will make a post about it when ready and think it should be ready as a test this month and maybe next week even...
P.S. spreadsheet and website is my own project, meaning OP - Cjcomplex for now isn't part of it and I'm not sure if he will be as I haven't asked... (also too early to ask...)

That’s actually incredibly helpful, thank you. Looking forward to the site when it’s done :)

For now either commenting in spreadsheet, or leaving a reply/comment for me here as a table or what's easier for you with missing info from spreadsheet. Also you can copy the spreadsheet and send me your link and I will update my spreadsheet(obviously, make it easy to understand what has been changed.. For reference best practice would be to sort by name), whatever is easier for both of us, I guess.. Also any mistakes you notice or any other input you feel like adding, for example, you want to add another column for spreadsheet (idk, like game tags or rating etc.)

Game Status | Impressions |
---|---|
⭐Gotham Knights / Started on November 7th / Finished✔ on November 12th Gotham Knight (you can tell it's the endgame achievement cause it repeats the title of the game :). | Before playing: New PC and Batman: Arkham Trilogy is what returned me into the gaming after about 7 years of "not really feeling like playing". I know that "Gotham Knights" is hated by fans but maybe over-hated? After playing: It's uncooked in many dimensions, but It's without a doubt made after Arkham games image. This alone is enough for me to enjoy it all. Maybe I'm missing something, but where else do people get their Arkham fix? Can we afford so easily dismissing such attempts of resurrecting the series? |
Turok / Started on November 6th / Finished✔ on November 27th Crushing Conclusion (Final boss achievement). | Before playing: I never knew Turok in its days. The FPS where you shoot dinosaurs - I thought I dreamed this concept up! After playing: Sometimes playing "true boomer shooters" is like trying to get scared by "The Arrival of a Train". No, I managed to enter into "appreciation" mode with relative ease, but the only thing that really engaged me is the maze-like level design, the rest was, honestly, obsolete. |
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery / Started on November 26th / Finished✔ on November 26th Behind the Frame. | Before playing: I can feel that it's an artist-driven game (he/she probably payed for the whole deal), where the gameplay is only a vehicle to show off the art. After playing: Now I feel a little bit embarrassed for my tint of cynicism towards this game. It's actually a very competent escape room puzzle. And art is indeed very nice. |
⭐Carto / Started on November 13th / Finished✔ on November 22nd The Little Cartographer (endgame achievement). | Before playing: I suspect this game to be the opposite to the "Behind the Frame". My bet that the game mechanic will dominate cutesy art. After playing: Mentioned game mechanic is masterfully entwined with a cute narrative! A game that is at peace with itself! |
Paradise Lost / Started on November 17th / Finished✔ on November 18th Don't look back (one of the ending achievements, I should have gotten 100% for getting all endings but something bugged. To correct it I would need to replay the game from the very beginning one more time - nooo, thank you :) | Before playing: Previous walking simulator I played for this challenge, "The Suicide of Rachel Foster", left me somewhat disappointed and with blue balls, So here is the next one! Reviewed even worse, this time for being slow and boring! After playing: I can't even criticize this game, clearly it's an amputee of a game, mauled by mismanagement of limited budget, where so much effort was scattered on so many things, and none of them seems to be cooked properly (well, I liked detailed interiors in some places). |
SCP: Secret Files / Started on November 22nd / Finished✔ on November 26th Who am I (kind of a spoiler for the ending, but kind of meaningless, cause nothing comes together in the end). | Before playing: "Plan B" walking simulator, between this and "Paradise Lost" one of them has to be good. Smart thinking! After playing: It's 5 unconnected stories like really-really unconnected, and then at the end there is last minute unearned cliffhanger and then promises of another 5 stories (that will never come, since apparently the whole project is shut down). Such disorganization earnestly scrambled my brain! But I liked 2 stories out of 5, even though they all were too long for the payoff they offered. |

Game | bundle | achievement | finished? | notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Planet Of The Eyes | August 2016 Humble Monthly | The End | Yes | Wonky platformer with a few puzzle elements, otherwise "the world wants to kill you, run until the game ends" type of a game. |
The Gunk | December 2023 Humble Choice | What's so bad about Wilderness? | Yes | Pretty good! 1-2 parts of the game looks underbaked, otherwise it's a relatively linear story-driven 3D platformer. It felt nice to vacuum up the titular gunk :D |
Little Misfortune | November 2020 Humble Choice | Somewhere Else | Yes | It was one of the games? Choice based "point and click" with that's deliberately off-notes at many points. While it has character, I'm not sure I'll remember any of it within 6 months. |
If Found | May 2022 Humble Choice | Starting on a new page, or Trans Rights! / Up Mayo! | Yes | I really liked it. Has a unique presentaation that sets it aside form other visual novels. Story of a trans person coming out, how friends and family takes it, and the inevitable(?) fallout that follows, while a more "inner story" parallels the IRL events in Ireland. The existance of The Trevor Project and similar non-profits that deal with the mental health and housing of LGBT people shows that sadly this is not all fiction. |
The Norwood Suite | February 2018 Humble Monthly | "We hope you enjoyed your stay..." | Yes | Very, very weird game in a deliberately weird place. Has really, really good exploration and you can find so many secret passages and other weird things. |
The Legend of Tianding | November 2023 Humble Choice | The End of an Outlaw | Yes | The crown piece of this month. Absolutely awesome platformer brawler? about the Taiwanese folk hero Liao Tianding. It has a stunning comics presentation, fluid movement and combat, the collectables are period-pieces with lore to it, and it's a joy to play with its Robin Hoodish style and tone. Combat is fun and the bosses have really developed personality, despite the shortish length. |

Question for CJ,
Question: for Garden Life: A Cozy Simulator what achievement would be needed for it to count? That is if it is admissable for the challenge?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hi, sorry for the delay.
The "Seasoned Gardener" achievement will work. Was originally thinking of "A Promise Fulfilled", but it seemed more of a completionist type of thing and a bit excessive for this event,

MO: Astray | May 2020 | Completed - Complete Disaster Mode | Beautiful platformer with SF elements and a story that is given to you by bits and pieces here and there. Interesting. 7/10 because two words: unskipable cutscenes. |
The Quarry | October 2023 | Completed. Epilogue | Uhh. 2K launcher, really ? - And they removed it with a patch while i was playing, nice! Well, I like scary movies, so it was really good, won't say everything is perfect, some frustration, yes, but most of it is giggles and yes! take that monstruosity! There is a good replayability, but not being able to skip cutscene is really bad. Say, 7/10. |
Little Nightmares | September 2018 | Completed - The Lady's Quarters | Very well done; much like Limbo but shorter, and more devious, yet quite charming. Low 8/10 |
Okami HD | February 2020 | Completed - Top Dog | Heard great things about this tittle. Hopefully it's good. - Well, good it is, memorable, that too yes. But flawless, no; too many useless dialogs (skippable though), and slighlty too long. Yet, a solid 8/10; no wonder it's a legendary game. |
Sword Legacy Omen | December 2019 | Completed - Last Rites | The game is ok, fairly unbalanced with overpowered character compared to others. Many bad points though, bugs here and there, no azerty rebind, and to top it all, I spent 2h on the last boss because my language was not english and therefore the game softlocked, nice! 6/10 because the graphics and the story are quite good. |
Fluffy Horde | December 2019 | Completed - Year Zero | Mobile game. Fundamentally, it's puzzle game. But, you will need luck to get the three gold medals. Did I like the game enough to get these? No. 4/10 tops, but better than the Kingdoms mind you. |

Starting off with relatively short games both because this is my first MIAM and also because I inevitably take almost double the average HLTB time. Fingers crossed I actually stick to it.
Thanks for the great event, Cj!
Edit: swapped out Soma for the even shorter Little Nightmares. Alas for my poor time management skills!

Hello and welcome to the madness!
The challenge is simple: Play and beat any 6 games, starting today, that have been featured in any given Humble Monthly/Choice bundle in one month.
The prize: FINAL FANTASY XVI
Game length does not matter and I'm not looking for 100% achievement runs. So long as you play and beat 6 games, I'm happy. You can go easy mode and play a bunch of 1h games or go crazy and play 6 +30h games. So long as they were in a monthly at a given point, it is all good.
Just post a comment with either screenshots/ achievements showing that you fulfilled the criteria and I'll add you on Steam and give you the link. Feel free to share your thoughts on the games you've played, but it is not required.
FAQ:
Why you doing this?
I hate money. That and I realized I've been subbed to the monthly for over eight years (yes it has been that long, I checked) and it occurred to me that I've barely touched the games I've gotten from it, let alone played them. Figured the same would be true for a few others, so I figured this is a good way to change that. A sensible person would probably unsub in this situation, but please refer to the beginning as to why that will not happen.
I've played the first X minutes of a game, can I pick it for the event?
No. You cannot have any play time or achievements prior to the start of the event. The only exception is idle time from farming Steam cards.
Can I play a MP only game?
No. It needs to have an "end" in order for me to count it as beaten, so it needs to have a campaign/story mode.
If a game was sold as a non-Steam copy in a bundle (origin/uplay/drm-free/etc), can I pick it as a choice if I own a Steam copy?
No. The reason being that those who own a Steam copy would have an extra option that would not be available to everyone who bought the same bundle. If the game was originally sold as a non-Steam copy, but Humble later provided steam keys to everyone who bought the bundle, then the game would be allowed.
Why six games?
The first few monthlies had 6/7 games in them so I went with that.
How long are you going to do this?
Until my credit card statements gives me nightmares.
This event "ends" on December 3rd when the next next HB Choice releases, though the giveaway itself will end the next day. If you manage to finish game number six in between that time, feel free to post, but know that I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to give you the link in time.
Good luck, have fun and stay safe.
Thanks for reading, and no one will blame you for drinking the night away.
