This game was the only one I played from a three part series. Playing this game doesn't require you to have played the others, but if you have played them you probably understand some details more.
Lazarus A.D. 2222 is a hand-drawn experience of a visual novel game where the story is interesting, the visuals are often psychedelic and humor is relatively funny. The artwork is really interesting style and it's complimented with the extra visual effects very well. The character designs were interesting to say the least and I believe I will have nightmares of that one dude with lots of eyes.
Gameplay consists of visual novel styled text and choices that affect the way the story goes forward, and as well as two minigames, a hacking minigame and a fighting rock-paper-scissors typed minigame. As a fan of VNs it was very enjoyable and the minigames added a nice little twist to the gameplay. There was some unskippable scenes that I didn't find enjoyable, but otherwise it was fun.
Overall it's a solid game and worth playing. Would recommend.

In this game players take control of a sleazy cam girl operation. Rake in stacks of filthy internet money and attract as many disgusting degenerate fans as you can in this clicker type business tycoon / management sim game!
In HunieCam Studio your job is to recruit cam models from an eclectic cast of cuties who have probably made some poor life choices. You get to manage their daily errands/activities to keep them stress-free and productive. There is a way to Invest in various aspects of your business to improve functions and expand operations.
The description calls this a fast-paced clicker, but as a fan of clicker games, to me it doesn't really seem all that fast paced. Clicking feels slow even after upgrades and the gameplay is quite boring. The game at least knows that some people probably got interested in this game because of its sexual content, so they added a text about it being poor fapping material in the description, which is correct. Not that I tried, but it is clearly more humor based. The character designs were fun and unique though, and there was a lot of humor revolving around the stereotypes of certain girls.
I do think it's an alright game, but I don't really feel like it was worth my time. It's underwhelming and would have needed some more variety in gameplay to be interesting. Automation would have also helped in my opinion, because currently it feels like an idle game without the idle, if you get what I mean. Not recommended.

Yuri VN game for adults where you play as a girl named Alex. She's your average girl who one day gets a hold of a mysterious video game, that sucks her into it's world. She must now defeat the evil Succubus Witch, Asmodea, to be able to return home from this strange world of the video game.
The artstyle is stunning and all the characters are very pretty and hot. There is lot of great scenes for the girls and there are several endings, good and bad, that you can achieve. The "animated" CGs are great, though I wouldn't really call it animation when it fades between a few frames. The frames ghost around each other and it is a little annoying to look at, hurts the eyes a little bit too. Other than that I had no complaints about the look of the game.
The story is quite uninteresting, too rushed and not all that well written. It is apparently translated from russian, as there were a few spots that had russian words left in, and the translation isn't all that great. You understand what they tried to say, so the point comes across, but it doesn't sound good and takes away from the game quite a lot.
For the cheap price it is, I would say it's a good experience, though I still can't really recommend it, as I didn't really have fun with it, and it was really short and uninteresting. If you want to see pretty girls have sex then I guess you could enjoy it.

Sling Puzzle: Gravity Master is a golf like game where gravity is ever changing and your goal is to traverse the intricate inverted spaces to get to the finish line. You need to avoid running out of energy, traps and creatures along the way that will ruin your journey. You also need to watch out for falling off the map, as gravity doesn't always help you out.
You get to play as a ball shaped creature, completing levels and collecting coins to get even better creatures and upgrades as you go forward. There is a lot of different types of levels in the game and three different game modes to try out; The basic mode requires you to finish the level before you run out of moves aka energy, the capture mode requires you to catch all the chickens on the map in the shortest time possible with no limit to the number of moves and the treasure mode that acts as a treasure hunt kind of mode where you must find all the treasure on the levels to move forward.
The game is easy to play and control and doesn't require too much brainpower to complete the levels. Some levels are harder than others and the interchanging gravity doesn't always help out in this case, but it's a cool concept and a fun way to play a golf like game.
Definitely something I can see many people enjoying to play and I can recommend it wholeheartedly. Such a fun little game.

It's a very cute and wacky point-and-click puzzle game where you are tasked to find your cat, but beware of the dog, as it will jump you from the most interesting of places. The puzzles are nonsensical and funny, but sometimes quite annoying to figure out and they are, as I said, nonsensical and often the hint gives no sense to what I am supposed to do either. Thankfully there isn't too many levels and there is no lives, so you can retry as many times as you need.
I did have some issues with the game the first time I played it, where the game would launch as something called "spacewar" which is apparently a developer tool of some kind, so there was something buggy going on there, but thankfully with the most recent update it was fixed and I was able to play through the game without further issues. Thank you developers for a quick fix after responding to my email!
It's a fun little game and doesn't cost too much, so I definitely recommend it to all puzzle and cat lovers alike. Try it out and see how you fair with these wacky little puzzles!

A yuri kinetic visual novel game set in the rainy English seaside town of Scarborough. Our heroine, Aspen, meets the mysterious, beautiful Althea in the dead of night, but who is Althea really...? The mystery unfolds slowly, but feels like it was left unfinished.
It had good characters, great art and interesting premise, but sadly it kinda fell flat at the end? It felt like it was an unfinished story and it needed a couple of more "chapters" to be a pleasing finish to the story. Did I hate it though? Not really! I had a lot of fun reading through the story.
I was a little disappointed that there was a lot of parts in the story that was just a lot of constant reading. Usually visual novels have background artworks and character art and character sprites doing things and all that, but this one had a lot of parts where there was just a textured background and there was many lines of text coming on top of that with each press of a button.
I've played a couple of other ebi-hime games and the previous games I played had been major disappointments. Thankfully this one, although still being slightly disappointing, was not that bad and I did enjoy myself. It was a short read of 4 hours and was easy to 100% as there was no different endings or choices to go through.
If you enjoy gay romance and a little bit of mystery in your kinetic visual novel games, then I would definitely say you should at least try this one out! Though maybe wait for a sale? I don't think it's worth 6โฌ.

Forbidden gay romance, mystery and the occult? Sign me up!
Night Cascade is an occult mystery in an alternate '80s setting with captivating characters that are enhanced by atmospheric graphics and soundtrack. Diane and Jackie, who are old high school sweethearts, are set to work together on a mysterious case of ritualistic fires. They must learn to put past mistakes where they belong and come to terms with their underlying feelings for each other, while having to hide their sexuality.
Nigh Cascades was really interesting and very well made visual novel. I was hooked in by the element of mystery and occult, but also the way the artwork looks, it was stunning and so beautiful! The characters are so well designed and pretty, and their personalities are different and interesting. I was really happy with all artwork between the conversations and it really was great eye candy.
The gameplay mechanics were similar to your average visual novel, but there was two different "minigames" between Diane and Jackie. Diane's minigame is a search for all clues type of minigame and Jackie's is kind of like interrogation type of minigame. There is no different endings in the game, so there is no real choices in dialogue that would affect anything in the story, but other than that the game is really great.
If you enjoy pretty females, a good mystery and an easy 100% game to complete then it's definitely for you! Definitely recommended for all VN lovers!

Dive into the game of Purrfectly Hidden Cats - Kittenwood, an engaging hidden cats themed game brimming with elusive kittens, interactive background elements, and captivating mini-stories. Venture beyond whiskers in a world rich with surprises and discover the wonders of the town of Kittenwood!
Purrfectly Hidden Cats - Kittenwood is a very good Hidden Object game with a lot of cute cats, some more hidden than others and a lot of fun things to do. The gameplay combines hidden object game mechanics with interactive elements, such as opening curtains, going through plants, clicking mailboxes and ringing door bells among others, resulting in a distinctive, engaging experience.
It's a hand-drawn work of love and talent. It's very well drawn and has a very distinctive artstyle. I would have wished a little bit of more color personally, but it was still very well done. The elusive felines blend naturally into the artwork and environment, often appearing only after clicking on certain items in the background.
I don't think you can get many things wrong with a hidden cats game, so I can definitely recommend it. It's fun, doesn't take too long, and is very affordable.

A simple, yet fun, physics-based puzzle game in which players drop animals onto each other in order to merge them and create new bigger creatures! Possibly one of the best versions of the whole Suika genre, even though I haven't played any others to be honest.
In Zooplop your purpose is to merge animals and to gather as many points as you possibly can, without the stack of animals reaching the top. When there is no more room, the game is over. There is an rotation ability that you can use after you've accumulated enough points from merging animals, with it you get to rotate the square where the animals are and hopefully make a few merges while it rotates.
Very pleasant soundtrack, graphics and ultimately the whole feel of the game. Definitely a good time for those who enjoy animals and puzzle games. It definitely deserves more attention from gamers. Highly recommended!

a Thrilling point-and-click story of a girl who wakes up at a watermill at night during a crazy thunderstorm. With no memory of how she got there, who she is or why her ankles and wrists have contusions on them, you are tasked to figure it out. As you go forward the girl starts to have flashbacks of what happened and little by little the story unfolds.
The artwork is very great and very well made, it has amazing atmosphere and it will keep you on your toes from start to finish. The soundtrack is very complimentary to the thriller feel of the game.
There is a couple of different endings in the game, but those endings are mostly dependent on the final choice you make or if you have a specific item in your inventory. The endings were interesting, but they weren't really all that exciting sadly. I honestly would have enjoyed them a lot more if there were multiple choices that affected those endings, rather than just one final choice.
Either way, the game is very well made, really interesting, and I really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend it for others!

The third game in the life of Mimi the Cat, this time you can play it co-op with friends or continue in single player. Mimi the Cat - Meow Together is a sokoban styled puzzle game where you control two different cats, or play with a friend, to push around boxes so you can get to your comfy cat bed and take a well deserved catnap!
This third iteration has brought us new things to enjoy such as hats, collars and other outfits for the cats to collect, a new toy train system for some of the levels that adds a different twist to the gameplay, as well as the new co-op system that you can play separately from the single player with your friend. The co-op was absolute blast and I read some other reviews and must say that it seems like a great addition and will bring lots of fun times to friends of sokoban styled puzzle games.
It's a very cute game and has a lot of charm, if you enjoy sokoban styled puzzle games and cats, you will most likely enjoy the game! For me, I was a little disappointed that the soundtrack was still the same as the previous games, it would have added a lot if there was some sort of small change to the previous games, for those who have played them and have had to listen to the same soundtrack in all of the games. Don't get me wrong, it's a good soundtrack, but it's rather repetitive when you've played all 3 games.
Either way, the game is really fun to play and definitely a good puzzle game, very much recommended for all fans of cats and sokoban!

Just as always Nukearts Studio brings out an amazing hidden cats game, this time we get to visit Santa's Realm! Join the fun and search for all the Hidden Cats one by one among the elves to reveal the final amazing colored art. With over 970 hidden cats and characters to find and an extra level of amazing snow ball fight in the park!
You can play through two different modes, normal and advanced, and find special cats in advanced mode to unlock bonus levels, where you get to find little kittens that have been scattered around the different places.
It's super fun, it's not too difficult, but it will still give you a little bit of a challenge. For me specifically, the final snowball level gave me so much trouble! Two kittens left to find and I was scouring through the artwork for like 15 minutes straight for just those two lmao. The fact that the game only gives you one hint is brutal, but for me personally, you don't really need them all that much anyway.
I will 100% recommend these hidden cat games for everyone, and it is definitely worth all the moneys! Great job developers and thank you for the curator copy! <3

A fast-paced arcade-styled shooter with permadeath and real-time map. Has randomly generated runs, actually fantastic voice acting, colorfully designed characters, and a simple yet interesting upgrade system. You follow the story of 4 self-proclaimed heroes as they fight the injustice of the "Earth Unit" - a collaborative government created by the people of Earth in an effort to keep their dying planet from becoming nothing, but a memory.
Unit Down is a really interesting game, and I did enjoy it to an extent, but sadly I was not fan of the real-time map mechanic of how it worked. You would go into planets to fight enemies, and while you are fighting there, the space map would still keep going forward in real-time, where missiles and enemy ships would spawn from earth. I didn't really understand first how to go back from the planet to shoot the missiles and ships on the space map, but I did eventually figure it out.
It's a fun enough game, and the fact that it is quite well made with the voice acting, awesome soundtrack and the character designs, it's definitely a worthy game to get and play. Totally recommended!

Absolutely adorable hidden animal game with capybaras and cats. It has such an unique artstyle, which kinda looks sketchy, but also really well done. The night levels were definitely my favorites as the glow of the lights when you clicked on a capybara that indicated it was found was stunning! Such great art.
There was enough animals to find where it wasn't too annoying and long, but it also gave a little bit of a challenge with some of them being very cleverly hidden. It is an easy game to 100%, as there is only 4 levels, and 2 achievements for each, then there is an achievement for finding all capybaras and cats and an achievement for finding all in a level without any hints.
Definitely a worthy purchase to those who are interested in hidden animal games. Highly recommended!
