For Evelyn is a beautiful and emotional story with amazing style. The pixel graphics and sprites are perfectly done. Overall the story is very captivating.
Here are a few feedback notes for the Developer:
There were a few times where I became frustrated with unclear tasks/objectives.
There were a few glitches (I caught some NPCs walking through walls) but none of them effected the game-play.
Some NPCs do clothing wise look out of place. While I understand that these were cameos, I do believe that the clothing could have been altered better to match the main cast.

Very few games do I reminisce about once our story has ended, but this game is one that I keep thinking “man, maybe I should replay/start a new file/100% The Wild At Heart.”
The art style is an absolute delight to take in. It’s like you’re playing in a watercolour children’s book, and it really does help to immerse you in the fantasy of the world. The character designs are charming, and I still laugh remembering that there’s a character called “Litterbox” who uh… apparently smells /really/ bad.

春と修羅｜Haru to Shura
I felt that I should review this game because I can find very little online about it, and thought it deserved a little more recognition. I will fully admit that I heard about and was interested in this game because of Studio Pixel’s involvement. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had the same graphical charm and polish we saw in Cave Story and Kero Blaster, but has an identity of its own. Gameplay takes a backseat here to story, and it works very well with the medium. It felt similar to a visual novel with the heavy amounts of dialogue, but it knows when to give the player a break and move around. The game is about three hours long and I enjoyed it the whole way through. I do not wish to get into spoiler territory but I suggest playing this game blind as it gives one a lot to ponder.

As a fan of Studio Pixel’s other works, this was a game that I was excited for in the months leading up to its sequel. Getting to play it, a lot of things stayed true to the quality of Studio Pixel’s other games. The pixel art and OST are both phenomenal, and the game is able to convey complex thoughts with minimalistic output. That said, this game also has some flaws that definitely were noticeable and that can impact your enjoyment of the game.
Note that as of the time of writing this review I have only gotten one ending, which appears to have been the true / good ending to the game.

Detective Failure
Might not be a looker but it’s a highly enjoyable game. I can’t say much not to spoil anything in this very short game (1 up to 2 hours) but it delivers. I enjoyed it and came to one of many possible endings.

DISTRAINT 2
Proof-read the English, tested the game, and wrote a fully comprehensive guide. Safe to say - I’ve got this game down to a T! TL;DR - buy the game, play it, and enjoy! Easy 100%er and very enjoyable.
Backstory:
When I played the first DISTRAINT, I honestly wasn’t expecting much more than an easy 100% achievement game to help knock my stats up for a very low price - my expectations were instead surpassed. The storyline was a little twee and fairly predictable, but clichés and linear / predictable stuff exists for a reason: it’s what humans like. I realised the entire game had been written, composed, drawn, really just everything’d by ONE guy, and consequently rose in my estimation. I followed Jesse on social media, and idly came across a post some months later about a sequel, and his new DISCORD server. I joined the server, and started getting hyped up for the sequel. Then he picked me to proof the English :O so I really have seen this game since its infancy!

After a three year gap, Jesse Makkonen’s back with Distraint 2! If you’ve read my first review, you’d know that I was so moved by the mature, depressing c’est la vie story of an ordinary person making one bad choice after another. It wasn’t lengthy but its message was profound. The ending may have bummed out and sparked some speechless responses.. But thankfully if you’ve kept your hopes up- Distraint 2 picks up immediately from what happens to Price after that screen cut to black. How much lower can Price sink into?

Project Vostok
“Project Vostok” is a non-linear horror visual novel about a group of airplane crash survivors finding a mysterious Soviet-era bunker in Russian mountains.
A plane flying from Moscow to Barnaul crashes in the Altai Mountains because of a crew error. Almost two dozen strangers are left there to survive. An indefinite list of their problems includes injuries, lack of food, risk of being frozen to death, and contradictions inside the group.
Things take a massive shift when the survivors find an abandoned Soviet bunker built in a cave. Warm rooms and an abundance of supplies lead them to move to this mysterious location. However, it soon turns out that all the problems they have encountered earlier were nothing compared with what is awaiting them now.
Expected release date of the first episode: February 2022.
Raptor Boyfriend: A High School Romance
Admittedly, I am really not one for visuals novels as a whole. Rather, I tend to be far more critical of any writing-focused media, which leads me to come across as hyper negative and critical about the works I am providing feedback on.
With that in mind, I hope this comes as a breath of fresh air because, much to my own surprise, I have been thoroughly enjoying this game.
The writing is fairly competent and many of its odd little quirks generally don’t stay too long passed their welcome. There are a couple of cringe-inducing moments, but they are either intentional or feel in line with the characters and setting involved. There is honestly not too much I could weigh in on here because I have the feeling the creators already have an adequate enough understanding of pacing given how little filler is present in the dialogue.

I was drawn in by the unique art style, especially for the genre, and prospect of dating a totally radical raptor and got fully invested.
Raptor Boyfriend is a rather goofy coming of age romance that is able to organically use its premise to tell a heartwarming story that also tackles serious issues. You may play a girl aiming to kiss a stunt performing prankster raptor but her social anxieties, his personal struggles and how their feelings for each other develop are very much real.
I played all the routes and while the episodic format can make each come off a little formulaic, the main love interests still have their unique conflicts, are all interesting and sincere, and every path is well-written. Nonetheless, the titular raptor boyfriend touched me the most emotionally to the extent that I found myself playing through his route repeatedly.
