♠ Update 19 April ♠
Progress on my book-game challenge:
- Sword Daughter
5.4 hours playtime
9 of 15 achievements
I’ve gotten up to 13 of 22 endings now, and the game having the option to skip dialogue certainly helps. Getting some good comments on my uploaded screenshots of the artwork, which is actually pretty nice. Not the usual anime VN style.
As an FYI: previous months’ book-game wrap-ups are linked on my profile page if you’re interested.
BLAEO Monthly Theme pick:
- Tales from the Borderlands
10.3 hours playtime
35 of 35 achievements
As noted in my edited post from last week, I changed my monthly theme pick because my first choice was just completely unfun to me right now.
Chose something else on theme that I knew I wouldn’t go wrong with and had a total blast. I binge-played it over the course of two days which is saying something for me.
VN:
- Subsurface Circular
2.9 hours playtime
13 of 13 achievements

Finished out this one this week too, going back and following the paths to unlock the achievements. It was a nice change of pace for a VN - the art style was fantastic, the story engaging and the gameplay (such as it was) was intuitive enough. A very short game with no replayability really, but worth checking out if your normal fare is VN.
Otherwise played this week:
- Playne: The Meditation Game
8.6 hours playtime
15 of 40 achievements
Got another level and environmental unlock with my still-consecutive sessions! My session times have been very short though, too much other game distraction currently.
- Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced
27 hours playtime
37 of 80 achievements
Can we say lifesucker? Haha, think I played this with my friend almost every night this week. Really has been a blast in co-op. I’m not the best at driving the cars though (plus my friend really likes squishing bad guys for some reason) so been jumping in the gunner seat on those which makes for very convenient ninja-AFK times while he takes us between quest points lol.
Happy Easter!
Oh, yay! I’m glad you liked Subsurface Circular.
I agree with the complete lack of replayability - which is a shame, because I’d like to have played through and learned more from the developer’s commentary bot
Thanks for the suggestion on your list. :)
Yeah I admit that I only unlocked the devbot for the achievement but had no interest in replaying just for the commentary. Life’s too short for all that!
I also played TftB this month, agree 100%! It was an absolute thrill. It certainly is one of the best examples of Telltale at their best, the game had such a great cast of sympathetic, compelling characters.
You said it best, friend – this was top notch Telltale and the whole thing was a great ride through the Borderlands IP.
Wow doesn’t feel like a week ago since your last post. Swear it feels like 2 days ago I read it. Guess it’s just all blurring together now seeing you in progress of the same games while telling myself you can wait for borderlands 3! Forget about the fact I just saw today its £85
Haha, sorry if it seems like repeats. It is, pretty much, as I’m a slow gamer. :) If I didn’t keep myself accountable I’d never get sustained progress.
Yeah I won’t be picking up BL3 until it hits Steam at the very least. I have so much else to play and if I buy anything this fall it’ll be the Halo Collection coming to Steam!
Yeah you may be repeating it but this way we get to see how your opinion changes
Thanks for clarifying – had me worried I was posting too much. ;)
