I'm not that much into horror. At the same time I apparently don't mind gruesome things. So what even is horror for me? This one wasn't. Yeah, ok, so some things were like… wtf? But at the same time it was so out of this world, it just never touched me that much. Yk, ghosts, alternative place and stuff. It's a good enough story, but not horror-esque. At least for me. (Maybe I am after all into horror :D )
So about the game: We play as this girl, who once in her life visited the Manten Aquarium and didn't really dare going back to it after that, bc she lost somebody (only small spoiler, bc it's becoming clear early on). But thanks to a friend she goes back to the place. And while all seems perfectly fine at the beginning things go south very fast. After that, we try getting out of this different setting. Or well, at some point we try getting all possible deaths, bc there are a few waiting for us :]
The writing, drawing and music was nice enough. I was annoyed by the long… mmmmh, endings? You can't rly finish that, just wait till the title of the end pops up, then a pic aaaaand back to the menu, which loads rather slowly, bc instead of just being there, things move around and you have to wait until they settled before you can click stuff. That was a bit of a bummer.
Right, nearly forgot to mention this: Sometimes things didn’t really make sense to me. I don’t often stumble across stories were I’m wondering if it maybe made more sense, if I could read it in German, but at times, this happened here. In the end I doubt it though. I think it just didn’t always make sense in itself. This whole different dimension thingy… yeah, things just weren’t clear. So yeah, overall nice enough, just didn't really get me. Neither in the horror aspect nor in the "oh, I'm so into this!"
No LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? Yeah

Wow, ok, this is a tough one with the rating. Bc I liked it. Very much. But at the same time I had this trouble of not remembering all too well what I did in the first game, so that was the real downside with this one. I kinda whish there would have been a "this happened last time", tuned on my choices. But yeah, that never was part of the thing and now it's too late anyways. I would very much have liked to try out this… mmh, playing with others? Bc Apparently it was possible to play (as a host), have your friends watch and decide. So either the host makes the final decision or the majority counts. That would probably have been a lot of fun. But don't think it'll work after TT is down. So not gonna happen. Sadly.
I had a few troubles with the game. First and biggest one was at Wayne Enterprise in the lift. Totally didn't see any animation, only choices. I think there also was a bit of laggyness with the cut scenes. But yeah, the lift scene was the worst.
I really enjoyed the story - after my initial problems of getting back into it. I very much liked how you can make things go down oh so differently. And how you can turn black/white to loads of shades of grey. How the villain maybe is not and the hero has to get into the dirt to do things. And suddenly it's all getting muddy - and bloody. Sadly the final outcome will probably always be the same.
Although this game really, really, really tempts me to play it again and do things differently - mainly not forgive ppl o.o -, I shall not. Maybe I will go back one point in the future, but atm one time is enough for me - I know I wouldn't restrain myself if it was the final Walking Dead Season. But it isn't, so there we are. Done and on we go!
Hidden LEWD rating: Nope
Gay-Ship: Well that would be Bats and Joker, wouldn’t it? But nope, that doesn’t seem too right o.o
Recommendation? Yes!

Ok this was bad-ish? The most obv (for me) the language. It was understandable, that's for sure, but it was at times rly not pretty. Like some things the MC (a boy btw o.o) said made it sound as if he knew the girl(s) he might that one night for a pretty long time. Example: She would never change. Dude, you know her for maybe an hour? How can you already say what's typical? How can you know if she is this way or maybe stressed out and just acting? Yeah, sry, I don't get that.
Which leads us to the story. It sure was fit for Halloween - surprise: it actually plays on Halloween. Three boys walk into a forest in the night. A supposedly cursed forest? Something like that. And then things happen - shortly after they were about to die from boredom. Thankfully that didn't happen. Instead, yeah, bizarre things that normally don't happen in the middle of the night in some forest. We are confronted with two girls. It's very much a question of trusting them - which no normal person would, bc… we are in the middle of the forest, in the middle of the night, with girls that can not be there. Oh right, IN A SUPPOSELDY CURSED FOREST! WITH GIRLS, THAT ARE NEVER AROUND! Dude, why the heck would you trust them? Well, we do. And either we die, do bad things or safe the day. Hurray!
Thankfully it was short xD

This is getting weird. It's now the second game in a row where the heroine get's mislead and does the bad thing, bc she things it's the right thing. And I'm this time wondering, why nobody bothers to talk with her, before shit happens. And why they are so "oh yeah, she didn't know, they made her do it…" and life just moves on an the MC still has to save the day. After she ruined it to start with.
Life is complicated. Seriously.
So they had something nice implemented, which I enjoyed. But I forgot what it was. So yeah, sorry. Can only tell you, there was some nice minigames :D
Oh right. Why is this a Queen's Quest btw? There wasn't even a Queen, was there? thinking Or is it, bc it's all set in this magical, folklore world? Yeah, probably that.
Sry, weird review today. But there you go. Finished a "horror" game - why was it horror btw? - and one step closer to my monthly goal. OMG! I still haven't done that! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
No LEWDness nor gay-ship included
Recommendation? Sure, why not?

Bevor we get into this, we have to talk about the fact, how I never ever wanted to play a game from the devs again. Thanks to Hate Plus and two improbable achievements. One not meant to be done and the second only with baking an actual cake and sending a pic to the devs. An absolute no go imo. So I decided to boycott them. Then this game was introduced, I got intrigued and realized it were the same devs. So conflict inc. Still I decided to give it a go. Boy, I shouldn't have. I was not happy with the game.
Let's start with the most obvious: The looks. How can a game be all about girls (ok, there are actually four guys in the game), but they all look like boys, apart from boobs? How is this possible? It's not even pretty or anything. They just all have super masculine features. Even when his one girl makes herself pretty… oh, right, she is wearing a dress, can't see the makeup. That's it. Didn't like that.
Secondly the characters. Nope, they don't work out for me. They all followed a certain schematic, no depth no nothing. As character I liked the Boy best. But still, that was just stupid.
Thirdly: The sex scenes. So if we go after this one girl, we end up in a bdsm situation. No problem so far. Only it's just… this ist soooo… waves around with the hand it doesn't work out for me. It's not good. I might not be a pro on the subject but the stuff I've read about it so far was… ugh. what ever. Then the other route you have this girl who seems to be super shy only to be super into stuff and worried she might scare the MC off? I guess? It's the complete opposite and still completely stupid somehow.
Yes, I like sex in games. My MC totally went after every possible sex scene. No problem there. If only they had been nice. Also I really wonder about the devs and their knowledge about female orgasms, buuuuut I guess I should stop here right now :D
Was there anything nice about the game?
Oh, right. It as over at some point. That's right now the most positive thing I can say. Sadly.
Bc the end was in the end the worst thing ever.
Hidden LEWD rating: Well not very hidden. It has loads of sex and we get to see some stuff.
Gay-Ship: Well I guess the Boy and the Prince, but that's just me trying to clutch a straw (does this work in this case?)
Recommendation? Meh. If you love the devs: Do it, I guess
Ps: Why is there no proper guide? sob

A HOG that plays in the past but is more advanced in a way then today is. At least in a few things.
Also we get to meet Albert Einstein and Coco Channel. And they meet each other, which seems weird.
And what was the most irritating thing: We are the heroine of the story. Our dad is an inventor who goes into hiding, bc there is this villain who tries to steal inventions and sell them. Probably killing the scientists on the way. So far so good. Daddy is gone. Obviously we go looking for him. Only leading he bad guy to daddy. And once we find Daddy he is not even pissed, bc we brought the bad guy along. Why wouldn't he? Doesn't he realize how the bad guy never would have found him, without the MC? Weird. Weird.
No LEWDness nor Gay-ship included
Recommendation? Quick HOG, so sure why not?

Can we maybe for once work with pros?
So the average HOG you're running more or less around all over, right? Not with Paranormal State: Poison Spring. On the contrary really. We are the newest member in this team of ghosthunter team. One would expect to get loads of support - apart from hints like: You gotta use your EMF on this and the heat camera on that and bla. But! Don't expect them to be capable. The moment things go south we are completly on our own! Like a sudden whole in the ground and who is stuck in the cellar? Right none of the others. But instead of looking for a rope or doing something smart all we got was: Look for a way out, we can't help you. Well, thank you for nothing! So no wonder we are the one who is going looking for a crew member once one goes missing. Not the rest of the team. Or not really. It's really a joke what they're doing. They are even that incapable in doing their job, they call for an old lady to help out. As if WE didn't have things under control here! Well, they don't, but we do :D
The game felt pretty long tbh. It wasn't that much though. Conveniently it was possible to return all the places on the map. Ofter that's not possible, so if you miss a collectable, that's it. You have to replay the whole thing. But not with this one. The most irritating thing about the collectables was not how they look different, but how there where scenes without any. I probably stared at few scenes way to long, just bc I wasn't sure if or if not there was something hidden.
I didn't much enjoy the character animation. It was very flat, very badly made. Oh, and there have been issues with the voice over? But I'm not sure rly what that was. Bad acting? Bad tech? Maybe both. It wasn't pretty.
No hidden LEWDness nor Gay-ship included
Recommendation? Sure, why not

Who am I?
I guess the more logical question would seem to be: Who is 390-H? By the end of the game that is pretty clear though. Well at least we know the current version. We also have a pretty good understanding of the rest of the characters. We even know what the République is - in a way. Bc in the end there are still questions. For example: Is the top floor from E4 really "on top" or is it in truth still indoors? Where are the Pre-Cals really coming from? (I'm betting on cloning. But then again do we just skip the baby stage? Are they already teens, when it starts? And what if not? Who takes care of them before that? We never come across a nursery or anything like it.) Are all of them ultimately "breaking" or can they actually follow the rules made by the headmaster? I guess we will never know the last one. Also: Why would you keep that many guards around a place like that? What about teacher, actual human beings who could influence the Pre-Cals. Right. Influence the Pre-Cals, that's the tricky part about that though. Not gonna happen I guess.
So that is all - more or less - worked out. But: Who am I in that game? I'm just a mysterious entity on the phone, who for some reason is both capable and willing to help Hope (390-H). Why though? Why do we care? And who is the Data Broker, who helps out at a certain point? Ok, no, he makes kinda sense. He wants all the info he can get, that's fine. So in the end the biggest question - actually the one question I had from the start - is never solved. Quite disappointing tbh. In fact the last episode was a bit of a let-down. I didn't like 4 that much already, but at least it explained a lot of things. So that was ok. But 5? Apart from sending Hope around the place - why can't the grownups just do shit? Why do they send around a kid who’s shaken up and probably in shock. Yeah, it's the smart thing to do and it worked out nicely up to that point. So let's just keep doing it that way, right? I hated the cameras in 5 btw. Most annoying enemies in the whole game -.-
So yeah, not only does 5 not really explain anything, apart from the beginning of the episode, but it also leaves us pretty hopeless at some point. I had literally no idea what I was supposed to do - nor how the heck it worked out. Normally we controlled tech, but that…? Yeah. I couldn't press space. Nor would anybody give me instructions. What the heck was that? And how was that even important? I have no idea. But I came through it. And couldn't help Hope in the end with the big question, bc whatever I choose, she has a different idea how it's supposed to work out. Which is very much of a let-down.
But I loved the first three episodes. I liked 4 and I was disappointed by 5. Still. It's getting 4 of 5 stars. I very much liked how I never had direct control - well ok, I had, but it looked like we directed Hope only via the camera and that was nice.
No LEWDness, nor Gay-ship included (although there was this moment where you got background about some Prizrak… Yeah, ok, not rly.)
Recommendation? Yes!

I guess I mentions this once or twice: I'm no big fan of Kinetic Novels. I also said after having played "faults milestone", that maybe it's about the story and the genre. So as usual I was reluctant. Even though loads of ppl said good things about Higurashi. The characters seemed nice and cute enough. And I was like: Ok, so yeah, countryside, tiny village, school life. Well what could possible be interesting about this one?
And all off a sudden things were set in motion. Boring school life and club activities? Dull country? Yeah, maybe not so much. There were even two or three moments where it was almost too intense and I thought about breaking it off at that point. But then I decided against it, bc it was pretty clear the rest wouldn't be that intense. And right I was. And now I'm sitting here and wondering. What's really happening? And if it's not imagination, how is it even possible? So it has to be real. But how is THAT possible? Yeah. Guess I'll have to hope the following chapters will clear things up.
No hidden LEWDness nor Gay-Ship included
Recommendation? Yeah? I think so

Sherlock Holmes, the brilliant detective who solves crimes purely on logic. There is no such thing as magic, everything has a solution, there are no mysteries. And here we are, back with the Hound of the Baskervilles. We work with a magic (?) pendant. There are portraits, that change appearances. We can travel back in time. We perform a ritual. And at the end Sherlock says, he'll think about it, to come up with a logical explanation. Which we never get to hear. I would very much had liked to hear his opinion, but nooooo, that's not happening. So here I am, wondering: are they trying to tell us SH has to deal with magic after all?
TELL US, SHERLOCK! WE NEED TO KNOW THIS!

Recommendation? Sure, y not?

OMG! I missed one collectable the first time round -.-
Well I remember a time when I had no idea about collectibles and just played… and had to replay it. So yeah, back to replaying obv :D
I actually liked the pure Detective part. First time I got confused with this one, was when we had the magic battle, which seem to be a more common thing nowadays in AM HOGs? Maybe it's just me and the ones I've played recently. Honestly, it's bugging me a bit. But then I didn't expect it to be a game about the dead and ghost. So it's probably fair to do the magic battle thingy, since we are already down the spiritual way.
I miss the AM lady! It's so sad! She used to be in every game and now… she isn't! What happened to you, AM lady?!? cries
No honestly, what happened with her?
Also I totally creeped out once I played the bonus chapter and saved the ladies. Once you are back in the physical world, they come up to hug you, but it looks more like Zombies swaying your way. Yeah, thank you. Obv too many Ghosts in this one xD
No LEWD nor Gay-ship included
Recommendation? Kinda, yeah.

First off: Three ★ doen't seem fair, but four like too much? O.O
Alright, next: Beware of SPOILERS!
Ok, can we now start?
I just now finished the game (and feel like it's probably to early to write about it, but I want to, so I do) and watched a yt vid about the ending right away, since I was confused as fu** o.o
This game is the most complex out of all the Bioshock games. Although I rly can't say how it even fits in with the other two games. Well apart from the obv start with the lighthouse. And the powers. And at the end as we are suddenly underwater in - gosh, can't think of the underwater cities name. Well and yes, Songbird. I figured pretty soon he might be the Big Daddy of the game, although "big" seems to be an understatement. He's not big, he is immense! So yeah, that rly are the only things connected to the previous two games. Oh, and the mindfuck - which rly wasn't there in the second game. But here it is. It's back! Bioshock Infinite gives you a mindfuck. And I'm still trying to recover from it. Am I happy with the end? Not rly. Although watching the video things made sense, but… they still don't. Remember how you hear a note every time Elizabeth vanishes at the end? Yeah, as far as I get it even the last one - our - Elizabeth disappears. This was actually the point where I got confused and looked into shit. Oh, and the Comstock thing. Yeah, there are hints all over, like how Comstock fought in Wounded Knee and the Boxer Rebellion, but Slate who was there claims Comstock never was, but Booker tells Elizabeth he was. First hint. But let's be fair, at that point in the story one can't possible guess that, right? Still, drowning Brooker and thereby prevent Comstock to ever be, it seemed to me as if it's not the possible baptising, but the whole Booker life. So in the end it's a suicide. Bc there can never be Elizabeth - which is obvious - but Anna can't be either - because when there is no Booker, there can't be Anna, right? So for me the story ended at the point where Booker was willing to change it. Bc the Booker we play never turned into Comstock, so when he chooses to do the Baptism and with that the drowning, it's over. Finite. End. One way it's probably the only way to deal with it. But then again it even makes the game impossible, bc it could never have happened to start with. It's just as the Lutece constantly debate over: is it, was it or is it something that could be or maybe not?
Is any of it real, if it's not happening, bc it was prevented from happening, bc the alternative is just horrible? So in a way the game just tells us how much it is a game, right? It just shoves in our face how it is not real and purely a thought experiment. Or in short: A game. Decide where you go and see what happens. And in the end you'll just reset the whole thing by eleminating it from the start.
Mindfucked.
I'm out.

Recommendation? Mindfucking yes

How come a game with only 3h playtime has… 31 achievements? I know, it's not rare, I just noticed it while filling out and was like: why? Why not 10 or I dunno. Also: Why not one for playing the game on the "hardest" difficulty? Why don't I get that? Ok, I didn't use it. But I don't use it, since there is no achievement for it. Which probably is a stupid reason. (Just so you know: I play on expert.)
Right, so another quick AM. I honestly am a bit confused. Am I getting better at these games or are the games getting shorter? Bc I'm pretty sure the older ones were longer? Maybe I'm wrong. Am I complaining? For poor completions sake - no. For enjoying a game - yeah, maybe. Although in this case not so much. I didn't really enjoy it that much. The humans looked rly bad imho. And that one cat. Can we maybe put a little effort in this?
(I'm bitching, ain't I? o.o)
The game was… well, a HOG. Straightforward, luckily not as confusing as other HOGs (yk the ones I can't seem to manage without the map…), nice enough puzzles and HOS. So yeah, no complaining on that part :)
