Ikachan is decent, but criminally short (1.5 hours, no replay value).
Crimson Shroud was a good tabletop RPG simulator (seriously, you literally roll dice for most actions, and characters are represented by tabletop figurines). It's likely the meatiest of the bunch, with some actual replay value (rare for an RPG). $5 is a good price for it. Unfortunately, it has a really stupid oversight in Chapter 2, where you must defeat a certain monster group to get a certain item to proceed: problem is, the (REQUIRED) item has a percentage drop, so you might spend a ton of time fighting the same battle over and over again waiting for the drop to trigger. I once spent over an hour this way. It's terrible game design at its worst, especially since there's no indication you're doing anything wrong (likely because you're not). The optional boss battle (replay only) is also a dragged out affair, in JRPG fashion. Those two complaints aside, it's a good, small RPG.
Damrey is a disappointment. It's a slow-paced adventure game (like Myst), but it's not interesting or tense, and the mechanics are pretty cumbersome.
Can't speak to the rest, but by reputation Attack of the Friday Monsters is the most divisive: some think it's a charming, Studio Ghibli-esque adventure game, while others...not so much.
