✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (07/03/2023). Only the touchpad works with this game tho.
Really meme and terrible dating sim made to just advertise KFC products. Do not waste your time with this.

✔️ Played it on Steam Deck and it works fine (10/12/2022). You need to use touch screen for the title screen but for the game itself the A button works fine to advance text.
Too short game, but considering it was created in just a few days for a game jam it looks pretty decent. The art is good, the voice acting nails it and the character looks kinda charismatic even with the short dialogues.

Despite the mediocre character development for some of the protagonists I still think this game is incredibly underrated.
I was expecting a meme date sim but it's actually pretty wholesome and conversations with ghosts delve into actual deep subjects.

Literally Nekopara but with 3 animal spirits and mild ecchi art instead of hentai.
Plot is nothing to write home about, this game is only worth buying if you just want to enjoy cute anime girls that look like vtuber models.

I think I have an addiction problem with this game.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it can run the VN (10/12/2023) but you will need to use touchscreen/virtual keyboard for most of the stuff since controller is not supported.
Despite its flaws it has become one of my favourite VNs. I must say the beginning is a bit slow for my taste and the characters introduction and initial conversations can feel a bit draining at first, but plot gets better pretty quickly and it never goes back to being boring. The time travel plot is really well built and characters are unique, memorable and well written.
The true ending feels a bit... forced? since the whole story until that point is so dramatic and fills you with so much despair and tension. Both Suzuha and Mayuri's endings made me cry so much and I lowkey wish one of those would have been the true ending but still I enjoyed reading this VN a lot.

So far this is the game of this genre that better understands the concept of having multiple classes that actually feel different when playing them imo. Also the gear is pretty relevant and not just a bunch of added stats.
✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (20/11/2022). You'll need touchscreen for menu and choices, and 'A' button for advancing text. Also Steam button + 'X' shortcut will be needed to get the keyboard out and write the protagonist's name.
This is a decent example of how otomes can have an interesting and smart female protagonist without ruining the story or the genre itself. I'm still surprised this game is free; the music choice sounds really good and fits the scenes, the art is peculiar but beautiful (all the character designs including secondary ones look soooo good) and the story is actually engaging!

✔️ Played on Steam Deck, it works fine (09/12/2023). 'R2' button to advance text and touchscreen for starting menu.
First chapter of the Answers arc is GOOD. It lacks the painfully slow start from some of the previous chapters and it goes straight to the point, adding a lot of depth to one specific character.
The development of the plot and the answers to some of the mysteries from previous chapters was almost completely unexpected for me. I binged this whole chapter in a single day.

Sus...
I really liked the OST and the ending, and the combat part is pretty entertaining despite feeling flawed and simple. The female characters didn't really sit well with me since it feels like they are just there as some sort of development for the main character. Their personalities were too plain and cliché for my taste.
Also, this is the first visual novel I play where the achievement farming is actually tedious (lol)

The animations are so well made and the story is so well narrated through the gameplay... Game's a bit short but worth playing just for the nice art and cozy vibes.

❌ Tested on Steam Deck, it doesn't seem to run in the device as it gets permanently stucked in Steam loading screen (07/03/2023).
Surprisingly good story and intriguing enough to keep me reading until the very end. I like how the plot seems to be set in multiple layers so that secrets are slowly disclosed and new details and backstory for the characters are given to us little by little, in the correct portions to keep the player in a permanent state of disconcert and wanting to know more.
The artstyle is pretty unique and elegant. The only thing I could complain about is how sometimes text appears in too big paragraphs which makes it tiresome to read specially during long gaming sessions.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works decently enough (10/12/2022). You can only use the touch screen to advance the text and select the choices since buttons don't work at all.
It's a very sweet and cute yuri love story but... did they really have to be... sisters............ Although the subject is treated in a very sensible way and the writing is great, still feels weird to read and empathise with the characters.
