14th Week of 2021

Introduction

New week, new format, new me :-D The last week was a bit different for me because a loads of thing have happened in my personal life, but I had time to play, happily!
From now, I won’t list all the games I have tried, only the ones I have finished, because that is the main purpose of backlog killing, right ?

It was a simple, chill game which I liked ^^ It’s only a short walking simulator without any story, with survival elements added to it, it was relaxing to play for a couple of minutes!

OMG, I’m in love with this game!
Just a personal note about myself, I was always a bit “weird” regarding romantics, despite I am a boy I’ve always been fascinated with romantic books and films, yes they can be a bit “cliché” but it feels so good to know, there will be a happy ending every time!
I have recently came across a particular game genre on Steam, called adult-visual novels, which I haven’t played before. I wanted to give this a try, because it was free and it had decent review, and I’m so, so happy that I played it!

I’ll say it without any further more: I clicked for the girls but actually stayed for the story. Before playing I thought this would be a linear something, without or with only minimal interactions. But the best thing was the feeling, that I have a choice, I can control the story and I can decide everything according to my hearth.

The story is fairly simple, we control a character who is going to start his first year at college. The game will guide us mainly though social life, who we want to be friends with, which frat will be choosing, and maybe even which girl will be dating…
The game was a bit short for me, because as the story started to escalate I was greeted with the end screen… Of course, because the game is free this is totally acceptable but still, I would like to play for a whole year!

I’ll play more of these kind of games for sure, because the ability to choose our own path is really interesting, and non the less the graphics are really nice too!

Descent - Silence of Mind

It was a rather interesting horror game, with psychological elements but sadly after all it only relied on jump scares.
We play as a guy who has some mental problems and goes to psychologist, where he actually has a “trip” or something like that. We go to different scenes, see different creatures and we even look back to our history.

The game could be really, really good but after 30 minutes the jump scare were too much. There was a 5 minute interval where if 5 screamers didn’t go into my face, then I’m a chicken….
In my opinion horror games are better when they build up tension, an atmosphere, which was here too, but for couple of minutes only….

Overall, it was a nice and rather “stock” horror game, but I’ll be keeping my eyes on this developer for sure!

Next Week’s Games

The next (or this, I’m a bit late) week will be a bit buffed for me, because on Thursday I’ll be celebrating my 18th birthday, and apart from that I won’t have much time because of school stuff but I’m planning to finish these games:

I wish to all of you a nice and productive week ^^!
