Lost Ember is an absolutely stunning 5-15 hour hour game, the music is top-notch and the graphics are incredible. The story was fun, interesting, curious, and heart-wrenching and it’s everything I knew it would be after watching the trailer. Enter and explore a huge Fantasy world that was abandoned and destroyed by greed, vengeance, grief, and the natural passage of time.
Uncover lost memories, discover who you truly are, and help the lost soul – and yourself – journey to the final resting place of nearly every soul, The City of Light.

Artificial Defense is a unique mix of an “orbital” shooter, strategy, and a tower defense game set in the theme where you are an AI protecting your “core” from oncoming creeps, or invaders.
Upgrade your towers and production capabilities by completing 49 different challenges, and shoot or bomb your enemies from above.

I really enjoyed playing Artificial Defense, it’s definitely a one-of-a kind tower defense. The music is very catchy and the graphics are smooth. The challenges get more and more difficult as you progress through the game. To finish a challenge, you need to achieve the objective, but you don’t need to leave immediately after. All levels can be endless and the longer you play the more points you can get for upgrades.

Warning: This VN is very slow-paced.
SeaBed is an immersive yuri themed mystery kinetic novel that can easily take around 19+ hours to complete. With 93 unique CG’s, developed characters and multiple soundtracks, it’s easy to get absorbed in the story.

Takako is discovered to have developmental amnesia, and one day, mysteriously vanishes.
Find her.

You start playing as Thomas, a red rectangle AI that has recently become self-aware. While exploring, you soon meet and befriend numerous other shapes like yourself that have their own names, personalities, and super powers. Together, you make your way throughout the levels.

Thomas Was Alone is a lovely minimalistic game with simple mechanics and easy/difficult puzzles. Depending on how you play, it can take 3-6 hours to complete. While rather short, it does contain narration throughout the game introducing important story points and new characters. The ending is a bit too “open to interpretation” but overall Thomas Was Alone is a very enjoyable and pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Beyond blue is an exploration and documentary-based game set deep into the ocean. Play as Mirai, a deep-sea explorer and scientist part of a newly-formed research team with Irina and Andre. Follow, document, track, and take samples of whales, dolphins, fish, turtles, and more in this informative and fun 3-5hr adventure!

I had a ton of fun playing, I love these types of games and it was a real treat to see all the behind the scene videos and listen to whale calls. My favorite thing though, was that despite going into deep, deep sea there were no jump scares at all and nothing can attack or hurt you. I am wholeheartedly a coward and I freely admit that.
Beyond Blue is more than just a documentary though, there is real story going on and it really makes you wanna keep pushing forward further down into the heart of the ocean. I loved the voice acting, I didn’t experience any problems (Except, for some reason one fish was invisible. I found him on accident though.) and I wholeheartedly recommend Beyond Blue to literally anyone, even if this isn’t the genre they usually go for.

Play as Knight and Legendary Hero of Talia, Arcadia! Tired of being the Hero and having people constantly overestimate you due to your unwanted titles, settling down in a small random village and retiring has become the latest priority. However, due to a haunting mistake of the past, trouble is about to find you and take you on yet another adventure!

Legends of Talia: Arcadia is a kinetic novel that’s pretty much exactly what you pay for. The story isn’t that interesting and the game can be beaten in less than an hour. While I did enjoy that this Sakura game was more story based and noticeably “toned down,” I’ve read more interesting things on the back of a shampoo bottle.

Play as Kaho, the Priestess from the village of Lun! Lately, a terrible, terrible curse has spread across the lands, and the only way to fix it is for Kaho to travel from her homeland to the Kingdom of Karst to seek the aid of the Queen! However, not all is well in the kingdom.
Meet plenty of new characters in this short and tragic 5 – 20 hour tale!

While Momodora: Reverie Under The Moonlight is an adequate game, it’s really hard to say it’s any good until a couple hours in. Until you actually find upgrades and learn attack patterns, every enemy and boss can actually be pretty tough and will kill you if you don’t pay attention. Once all the upgrades are collected, the game is much easier, but the opponents stay exactly the same. Some of the enemies you find in the beginning are the same ones you find right before the final boss room and there really could have been a bit more variety.
The biggest disappointment for me had to be the endings. While I’m not posting any spoilers about it, I probably wouldn’t have gotten the game at all if I had known.

Regardless of all it’s faults, it’s not a bad enough game for me to not recommend it, and if you are interested in playing Momodora, I suggest either looking up gameplay videos or reading more reviews first.
