As always, it’s been quite a while since my last update. I finished Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc around half a year ago, so my memory is a bit hazy, but I do remember it turned out to be one of my favorite games. It has a genuinely interesting story and unique mechanics (even though walking down the hallways made my skin crawl cause I constantly felt like I was gonna get jumped). The characters are very cliche and exaggerated (including the voice acting), but in a very weirdly endearing way that you can’t be mad at it. Without going into much detail to avoid spoiling anything (one of those games where it’s best you go in blind), it does feel difficult at times and I needed guides every once in a while, but I can’t say that it ruined the experience. For the love of anything good though, avoid the anime at all costs. I tried watching it before playing this, and I couldn’t get through the first episode, and then I tried again after playing it, in hopes that I’ll be able to stand it because I got attached to the series, only to see they literally used stuff straight from the game (visual effects & sounds), while skipping a lot of the story and not changing anything about it at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if the script was straight out copy-pasted to be honest.

I almost never play demos, but Not For Broadcast: Prologue seemed way too interesting to pass on. Love the idea of controlling the broadcast in many different ways, although I can see this getting way too difficult for me later on. The effort and love behind it is very apparent from the stories that you get to see as you’re playing, and while I’ve seen a playthrough of the paid version, it is still under early access, so I’m looking forward to see what they’ll come up with in the final version.

hyper hardcore isn’t exactly what I expected, but not in a bad way. I bought it shortly after its release and I’ve already seen a bunch of little updates, so I’m glad it’s still receiving love from the developers. I’m always looking for interesting typing games, and while I’m a little disappointed that you don’t get to type actual words, it makes up for it with a rather engaging story for its 0.79€ mark. It doesn’t take much time to finish the main story but you do get 2 item drops every 12 hours which I guess add to the story, and there are multiple endings and easter eggs here and there. Definitely worth trying despite some small hiccups.

I’ve been wanting to play Forget Me Not: My Organic Garden for the longest time! I love this type of game and again, I went in thinking it’s just a casual time management/farming game only to get impressed by the story and art style as well. It does feel kind of grindy after a while, because unlike most games in similar categories, this one has close to zero automation. No matter how far you get into the game, you’ll still have to manually water the trees and pick up the organs (yes, organs - I personally did not catch the pun in the name until I started playing it), and while it sort of makes sense because you have different quality organs which you have to water in specific ways, I’m sure there could’ve easily been found a workaround - like selecting which trees get watered, or until when, or selecting which trees you want to water/control manually etc. Still, I’ll be occasionally going back in to work on the rest of the achievements, especially since I still have to reach the true ending.

I started 12 Labours of Hercules VI: Race for Olympus a really long time ago and I was scared I’d be lost jumping back in, but it’s as easy as ever. As always, it’s not the most amazing series in the world, but it’s a good time killer in between watching a couple of YT videos. I’m almost done with the 7th installment as well, so now I’m gonna have to look for bundles for the other two sequels too.

A Mortician’s Tale was one of the main reasons I bought the Humble Conquer COVID-19 Bundle, but it ended up being mostly a disappointment. I saw beforehand that the reviews criticized it for constantly feeling like a tutorial, but I tend to not care as much about that as long as the story and visuals are decent. Unfortunately, the reviews were right - you get put in this flash game-like screen for every corpse you get and it’s as silly as playing browser surgery games. You have the game telling you what to do step by step, even after you’ve done the same type of work a few times already. Unfortunately, a complete waste of time.
