Coalescence

I only played through the journalist section, I'll try again in the future with the detective and Lab tech if it unlocks after doing the other guys routes but I just didn't find it that interesting


Dissent

This is a little prequel to Coalescence. It seems that no matter what you end up with a bad end. I mean it was more interesting then Coalescence at least to me but it doesn't offer much


Embraced By Autumn

Click to expand

Oh this is such a great game. Its about a boy who goes to an all female school and of course has to dress as one. Apart from 1 girl no one just knows we are a dude the whole time ruining the whole thing. No one finds out cuz they tripped and touched our junk or whatever else other games like to reveal. Its set in old time France but there's no confusing phrases or anything going on. Just hey its old times, 40 year old dudes want to marry 15 year olds.


Flaws in the People We Love

Not much I can say about this game, you just walk your way up to the top. It works at least and actually has an ending


For Goodness Sake

Click to expand

Not as much of a horror as I was expecting, everything is just dark and that's it. 2 endings so your second playthrough is very quick as you should know where everything is. So yeah better then I was expecting


How to Fool a Liar King Remastered

Click to expand

This is the sequel and my least favourite. While its nice seeing Juli as someone else, he's not that likeable to me. Our mc is great but sadly the storylines are properly split up this time so we either spend time with Juli where he pushes us away or we don't spend time with Juli but somehow end up with him despite pushing us away… It doesn't help that we got the princess of the cats claiming us as the wife so why would I choose the mean moocher Juli. I do not hate Juli, cant tell here because he's like the worst bit about the game sadly, but he's not bad


How to Sing to Open Your Heart Remastered

Click to expand

This is the final game and I kinda wish it wasn't. I mean it doesn't end in the worst way but at the same time I want to know what happened with the cat people and the cat hating humans. Everything in fool was setting us up for this game and then nothing, our Princess who has the most interesting love interest story ends up constantly hurt and in trouble only for us to find out we didn't need another story. In the end the cats are pointless and we don't see any sort of nice feelings towards them so I need a sequel. Either make a war happen between them or just make them friends again!


How to Take Off Your Mask Remastered

Click to expand

So the whole different art style is the same in my opinion. Based on what I saw, the cgs have a stupid glitter effect on top and the ui in my opinion is worse

As a story though I still love it. It definitely holds on its own as the 1st game and that's how I brought it in the first place, the sequel didn't come out for years. Our 2 characters are totally different people in their form, seeing the cry baby boy turn into a protective and strong man. While she is knocked by the jealousy we know our girl is apparently the strong one normally, looking after her "little bro" all the time but then in her cat form she's the kid who needs helping, free to show her real emotions


Machina of the Planet Tree -Planet Ruler-

Click to expand

I dropped this win a long time ago as I just couldn't anymore. I got to a boss at a certain time and it was constantly healing any damage I was doing apart from like 1% that between everything else not to my taste I just gave it up. I'm happy to have finished it, I do find what it does interesting but I also don't think I really missed much either from waiting all these years


Machinarium

Click to expand

Oh this game bugged the hell out of me for a while. It doesn't like not being full screen. When I wasn't in full screen it constantly kept popping up with the logo every time I did an action. At one point trying to use an item made me move the whole game window… Then there's the horrible horrible tick tack toe…

But once I went to full screen and past that horrible game it wasn't that bad. It was better then their samorast game but I have taken their other games off my wishlist for now as I'm not sure I do want to try another one when the ones I have played are meh


My Heart Grows Fonder

Oh how do I talk about this game without making it into the most spoiled rant ever. I hate this game. The characters in this game are the worst people I have ever seen. I spent all that time angry, the few minutes I stepped away for an appointment was the only time I was calm until our stupid characters made me angry again. The overall story and stuff probably isn't bad but my anger really has clouded my judgement so I cant say

If you want to see the rant here, but it is super spoiled and well annoyed
Maia is the worst, seriously just the worst. She's our ex gf who disappeared for 3 years and decides to stay in her ex bfs home for the next few weeks. We didn't know it was her, she and our other love interest Ava were hiding the fact they kept in contact while Maia made us believe all the worst as she again disappeared and didn't contact once, just blocked us. So yeah she ruined Ava there cuz both of them are lying to us for half the game. We only learn the truth really because her dad comes up to our mc threatening us. He set our car on fire, drugged and kidnapped our coworker to send threats to us and almost killed us in the end and guess what Maia forgives him… She doesn't believe he would set fire to us or try to hurt us no we cant be right. Let me tell you, her dad tried to get her and the mother to be prostitutes bcuz of his gambling debts, her mother died because of her dad and she still doesn't believe… Oh no its the truth lady and she does see her dad try to kill us and she lies to the police… I get it your dad is a psycho but everything that has happened was because she came to us, she's the reason we almost died and our coworker was drugged for a week! Ava at least does have the dad arrested and she is the better girl but again because of the lying I couldn't stand Ava either. Maia ruined another girl for me all because she didn't want to come back and be like hey watch out for my dad. Like don't even need to tell us anything, just give a bit of warning that we shouldn't let your dad near you when Ava's parents told him where you were!!!!"!"!!!


Shtriga: Summer Camp

Click to expand

This was a decent enough hog but I am sad to say I couldn't do all the puzzles. There's one I suck at and the video I could find on this game takes like 10 minutes doing that 1 puzzle. I lost my place so I couldn't do it again, I just couldn't spend another 10 mintues retrying a puzzle for a game I wasn't able to 100% because I had to use a hint once


Lots of games again but I am proud of my doing an old win. I actually counted it as my 1st bingo as while my goal is longer games I feel like certain wins dropped has to count also as I didn't drop it for a 2nd or 3rd time

That’s a nice list for a week. Embraced By Autumn seems interesting, kinda reminded me Ladies versus Butlers.

Cece09

Well based on the bits people talked about seems to ecchi to be like it. My favourite bit about reading the game was seeing in the notes (which they do every game, talking about what made them choose that story) they references they had inspiration from otoboku maidens are falling for me. I love otoboku that I own the dvd to the anime. Its another one set in an all girls school, one girl just auto knows he’s a boy like we have in embraced by autumn while the others dont.

Mitsukuni

Interesting anecdote. Sounds like reverse Ouran. Do you recommend the anime for a slice of life fan by the way? I also have a huge backlog on anime but why not more? :)

Cece09

Hmm I mean considering the anime released after the game which can be rough for romance, I think it did a good job at changing things up. The changed parts are pretty fun and it does try to keep on brand with putting bits of chibi here and there. Seems to be recommended enough by people so probably not just a biased view saying that yeah its good

Mitsukuni

Adding it to my list then. Thanks. <3
Also saw this comment on Kitsu: “The crossdressing hook slowly loses focus into what is a fairly charming kind-of-yuri anime.”
