its fun with friends, but I turned off voice chat immediately. I really like that melee characters are very viable even against ranged opponents, and the game itself is pretty stylish. It's a bit chaotic at times, but I've yet to play a character based shooter that wasn't lol. Overall, I'm really glad its back!

I'm not usually a fan of rogue-likes, but the turn-based combat of this game scratched my brain so exceptionally, it was hard to stop playing and do other things. The music bangs, the story made me more emotional than I was expecting, and my only real critique is that I'd love more of it. All good things must come to an end, and what a beautiful ending it was

The negotiations in this game are soooo fun. Many games give you options to talk your way out of a situation, but its often at the cost of interacting with the fun mechanics - but i love that in this game the negotiations are their own thing, and theres quite the emphasis on playing them AND fighting normally. The art style is quite good, and I love the designs.
The music could be better, but outside of battle themes I found myself ignoring a lot of it. I could see it made that way as to not distract from reading, but it still feels like a miss. I also don't see myself doing more than a few more runs after beating the campaigns once, but that's a personal thing.
I liked this title a lot more than I thought I would! The writing was also very witty, and while the plots were not life-changing, they were fun and engaging. I'll def be picking up a run here or there to pass time.

Genuinely great ecosystem design but after a good amount of hours dying, watching some guides, and then dying again I have decided this simply might not be the game for me and thats ok. (It's definitely a skill issue)

Mostly a very atmospheric city to run around in - the scale feels both small enough to remember but huge enough to feel grand which is honestly its coolest part. The lighting and sound are big things that stuck out to me. Didn't know it used AI art till i saw reviews and double checked it - which is a bit disappointing. I feel like the best parts of this game were already there and it didn't need generated textures to feel uncanny.
One can assume it was the point to use AI to give that uncanny feel, but considering the current climate around it possibly taking my job, I really can't find enjoyment or artistic fulfillment in something like that. Just kinda how it is.

Once I heard this game was "kinda like Chulip" I knew I had to check it out. It really doesn't disappoint - it's relaxing and quirky with mysteries and characters that keep you interested throughout the journey. The art is really refreshing, and I quite like the writing for a lot of the dialogue - its very witty and thoughtful.
I do have a few critiques - I think for a game about learning how to enjoy and experience life, you do spend a lot of time collecting the currency of the game. The racing mini-game in particular I really got tired of about halfway through. I also kinda wish you were able to do more personal side-quest type of stuff for fun - similar to animal crossings or even Chulip - but that's also my personal bias. I think I would've connected with some of the less important mons that way. Some of the tracks in the game could've been different from the dominant overworld track. While that track is lovely, it does get old, and every time I heard a different track I perked up - but they are almost always in a single spot you'll never be in for long. I also was unable to get the "producing a poo" achievement despite very much producing a poo. u_u
That all being said, I'm really glad I took a chance on this title - its weird and optimistic in a way I really vibe with. This game just oozes with the personality of its creators in a really great way. What a fun piece of art, I'll definitely be returning to it in the future : ]

Short and sweet game that while very charming, I am glad I picked up on sale. Customer service gameplay mixed with the child-like awe of flipping through a Dragonology 101 book. LOVED that the art book was included at the end and the developer explained their process - it kinda shot up the review by half a star, I found a lot of enjoyment in it : ]
I wouldn't say this game is scary, but it's quirky and unique in a way that is compelling enough to keep a players attention through the gameplay of "listening to phone calls and reading".

The writing of this game really pops out at times in a great way - the surreal end of it all mixed with fake job optimism mumbo-jumbo is really fun to explore in this weird world. I really appreciate the dedication to enforcing the power of choice. At just about 2 hours, its worth a playthrough if u like weird little visual novels!

A supremely weird point and click mystery that really rules. I have so few notes, it feels like a game that is exactly what it wanted to be. It really kept me interested in all the moving parts the whole way through. Absolutely a must-play if you want to work on unique world building. I think the ending I got was a smidge sudden, but overall, what a hell of a ride.

Extremely satisfying with a surprising amount of robust assets to decorate with. In the future, I would love to be able to scroll through individual categories and change some hotkeys to my own liking. Its a great game to just decorate some houses and relax : ]

Recommended by a friend, not my thing but its very occasionally funny. The experience is like getting hit with a bat repeatedly, I cant say I recommend it.
Short and sweet, and veryyy pretty. This game is easy enough for kids, but engaging enough for all ages - I'm a moomin fan, but I could see new people still enjoying this game quite a bit. You get to play as Snufkin fighting cops and that's enough to say that it kinda rules lol.
This game is such a classic. Playing it now, you can really see how it shaped so much of the horror genre. The dizzying environment design and bizarre, almost dream-like dialogue really are so unique to the title. It's great fun, and plays well even for a more modern audience.
I didn't enjoy the short DLC "Born From A Wish" nearly as much - not for its short length but rather because of its lack of intention and strange narrative implications. It feels like they kinda just made a DLC for Maria because she was a popular character.
My hot take is that the tank controls are Good Actually lol

Really surprised by how much I liked this title! It's a really well executed concept that brings some unique life to the visual novel genre. The visuals are gestural and emotional, the voice acting is very charming, and the writing is compelling. My only real complaint is that some choices get a bit word-y. It's got WAY more replayability factor than I was expecting, which is the little cherry on top. A great time!

A fucked up tomogachi translated into an experimental claymation game lol. At only about 20 mins, its still interesting enough to keep your attention and establish a unique and experimental atmosphere. It's free and worth the time if that sounds like your thing, but I wouldn't call it especially deep. This game really feels like it was made with artistic freedom, and that in it of itself makes it worth checking out : ]
