BLAEO — Backlog Assassins Extraordinaire

Update 33: Second week of December

December is already halfway over O_O Where does the time go? This week my backlog is screaming again. Too many wins and gifts and the Secret Santa did not help either, though I am very happy about that one :D

Short (free) VN. You are a girl in high school and you live through 1 year of school, where you have the option to date/befriend 6 different girls, ending in a christmas party. It was a kinda cute dating sim. Though I found it funny that all girls at that school seem to be lesbians. Can't remember my all girls school to be like that.
The routes were different enough to be interesting for replays. Unfortunately some of the achievements seem to be broken.

missed messages.

A VN with a message. It deals with suicide and how there are not always warning signs. And how maybe just listening to someone can make a difference.

Paths Taken

A (free) VN where you are playing either a young female or male aristocrat, who tries to find love. Even tough you can play as both male and female the text seems not ot be adusted accordingly. So my female char was called sir, the girlfriend was called a boyfriend and my char was called a gentleman several times in the game :-| Not sure if it is the same for a male char, since I only played as female.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm

Liked this one more than the first one. Probably since there was no Max in it (well unless you count the bonus episode). I found it really interesting to see what happened before to get Max to where she was when Chloe came back. I also liked the relationship between Chloe and Rachel and am sad that we don't see more of her in LiS, since she was a cool character.

I've won 5 games this week and was gifted 1. The Secret Santa left another 3 and I redeemed 3 myself. So a total of 12 new games O_O And I've beaten 4 games, so that makes a +8 for this week and a +12 for this month. Deponia was part of a pack and I already have the Complete Journey, which is why it is marked as won't play.
