JUNE REPORT!
Haha I’ve added 11 games from the steam sale onto my backlog, I’m now at 299 games. I forgot the summer sale was a thing and I was completely blindsided!!! ahhh more stuff to do. ;w;
Flower 
Flower is a relaxing and peaceful experience in which you play as the wind. You collect petals and bring beauty into an otherwise bleak and grey world. Playtime ranges from 2–6 hours and there are some bugs to be noted but nothing game-breaking.
Bugs:
When entering another dream (level.) Sound may be unavailable. This is fixed with a simple restart. Sometimes when you are flying you get stuck after interacting with things, this can be fixed by accelerating or changing directions.
All in all this is a very wholesome and tranquil game and I do recommend it.
Our world has not decayed 
“Our world has not decayed” Is a surprisingly wholesome game that’s very bittersweet. You are Coru! An Adventurer who somehow survived the end of the world. While looking for more people and trying to figure out what happened exactly to make the world end, you find Nasu instead! She has amnesia! She is also a zombie! Both of you set off together to find more people and bring Nasu home!
Having Chinese voice acting instead of Japanese is a bit unusual for me but it quickly grew on me. This VN is more like a story than anything, seeing as you only really have 2-3 choices in the entire game. This story can be finished in 2.5-5 hours.
Warning:
The English translation is truly terrible! However, if you are a native English speaker or you feel confident in your skills, it’s not really any trouble. Some confusion here or there but you have a general understanding of what’s going on.
The Orchard of Stray Sheep
You play as the protagonist Ichirou! You are hired as a teacher to teach at an amazing Island academy with only 4 students! You work with the beautiful principle Matsuri and two other teachers, Liang and Tsuji, to keep the students happy at all costs!
The four students are Peeler, Mincer, Oros zester and your own assigned student, Casserole! It is your duty to make sure that Casserole is ready for her ‘graduation’ from the academy! Will you really be able to do it, though?
The Orchard of Stray Sheep is a surprisingly dark and yet incredibly interesting kinetic novel. I say Kinetic, but there are only 3 choices that lead to 3 endings, 2 bad endings and 1 true ending, and it’s kind of obvious what the bad choices are. The art style is phenomenal and the music is just exceptional! The only downside is that there is no sequel!
Fox Hime Zero 
Fox Hime Zero is the story of a boy named Yan who is sent into the forest to live there for a year and collect data and specimens on the flora and fauna in the mountain. On his first week, he finds and rescues a fox who has fallen into the river. Later the fox returns, but instead of being a fox she has transformed into a beautiful and mysterious girl named Mori!
As lovely as the art is, I can’t really recommend it. It’s cute, but there is no real plot, no story, and the MC Yan is kind of creepy. He keeps “accidently” touching her and he kisses her on accident which leads to an incredibly uncomfortable make out session. As the story goes on, he get’s incredibly obsessive of her and abandons his work to be with her.
No story, no plot, just two cute characters and a creepy MC. I recommend you skip.
Oh wow, someone with The Orchard of Stray Sheep in their collection! Picked it during the current sale because of the deep discount it’s on, but had no idea what anyone thought about it. Thank you for playing it :D
Np, I had a TON of fun with it. One thing though, a ton of people complained that the story was random and the twists didn’t make any sense, but for me they did. I feel like those people sped through it looking for the romance when there is little. Some people said they wanted to know more info about the girls and their backgrounds, but that’s hidden in the credits. (I don’t know why.) ^^
Huh, I’m not seeing any mention of romance that could draw people in, so that’s an interesting take. But making the credits important in that way is a nice, out-of-the-box kind of thing that I personally really enjoy :D
It’s a VN, and I think typically VN’s with a bunch of cute girls on it, and for 0.99, they were probably just expecting something like a Sakura Game. I don’t think people bought it for the “dystopian” and “sci-fi” tags.
God no, Sakura games… :x It takes a simple look at VNDB, shame more people don’t know about it :(
Oh I’m used to weird visual novels but god you make fox hime zero sound bad
Haha I felt uncomfortable playing it. You may like it though, it had positive reviews for some reason.
