Another completely whacked out story line game from this developer, this time it’s a story about internet romance gone horribly wrong!
I will say that this game is well worth the price tag.. but NOT as a game for “you” to play yourself.
.. By far, the best value in this game is to GIFT it to someone you want to troll and tell them just to play it. Then watch them as they get hooked enough or curious enough as I was.. to play it all the way through to the end! Haha!
My Score.. To play it yourself.. 2 out of 10. My Score to troll as friend as a meme: 9.7 out of 10!

Another Adventure
很好的游戏啊，可以看出作者有自己的想法。这位作者的画风和之前的作品倒是十分一致。这一点身为玩家的我很欣赏。但是，谈到游戏性方面，思想很有深度，很好。但是在交互性方面真是很有欠缺。可以把前几作的某些元素借鉴过来。让游戏更具有挑战性。CV也很不错。综合看来：7/10
A very nice game! The developer has his own understanding. I appreciate his unique thoughts and his spirit to maintain his own style in his several games. Mainwhile, the writer obviously has his own life experience which is integrated in this game. The game could be better if it was more chanllenging. The lack of interaction with the player becomes the biggeest weakness of this game. In some parts of the game, the developer can add more parts to make it fun.

Marginal act
So I’ve played this game for about 3 hours and I personally love it. It’s visually wonderful with the dadaism style of art and the funky use of perspective. The art really fits in with the idea of a slowly collapsing society. I spent a good 5 minutes just appreciating the map and all the detail put in. I loved the look of the NPCs and all the textures, too. The sound design gave off a nice creepy vibe and I loved the wide variety of sound effects. The controls felt good and I’m very appreciative of the use of colliders on the obstacles. I was worried that because of the perspective, I would be hit by enemies/obstacles even if I wasn’t really touching them but it was actually really easy and fun to maneuver through. The game is pretty solid when it comes to not having glitches/ places where you easily could get physically stuck which was nice.

If you have to describe a game, and you cannot find terms or similarities to help you with, sometime can be a really positive thing. Because it means originality. So, in this moment I really find complicated to described Marginal Act, it is a game so hermetic, strange and peculiar that without playing it could be difficult to understand.
The plot is also obscure and surreal, intriguing but difficult to figure it out. Also, a superficial english translation will not help to understand it. But this will not affect the progress or the enjoyment of the game. There are also multiple endings.

The Rewinder
I really wanted to like this game, and I finished it, but in the end I can’t recommend it. The settings are very pretty, and the writing is detailed and well fleshed out. The overall story started out interesting but by the end I can honestly say I have no idea what happened or how it all fits together.
The main negative for me though is that the gameplay is mostly not interesting. It is disjointed and the puzzles come in several varieties that feel like they belong to different games. The most fun parts of the game are when you travel into other people’s memories and alter them to change history. Unfortunately that’s just a small part of the overall game. The rest are mostly tedious classic puzzles like magic squares, count on an abacus, etc. There are one or two fetch quests that are amusing, but they don’t fit into the rest of the story very well. There are some “action” sequences that are just annoying.

The Rewinder is a short, low-stress puzzle game. Almost all of the puzzles are very intuitive and the pacing of the story is incredible. I finished my first playthrough in about 5 hrs and spent the rest of my playtime collecting all of the flowers and finding the secrets in the game, which should be a lot quicker for people playing in English once guides are available (There are guides available in Chinese).
There are a couple of bugs and translation issues that are normal for any video game at release, and is probably already being addressed as I write this. But aside from that, I feel that the introduction of the story really led me to expect a lot more out of this game. The way the story is framed at the beginning left me feeling like the second level was going to be drastically different than the first, or at least, the second level wasn’t going to be in the same village as the first. Once I got used to it, I think the game benefited from staying in the same two villages for most of the plot and returning back to the same places after you have altered the timeline.

TRACHI
TRACHI is an interactive fiction game that plays similar to a visual novel. Upon starting the game, I was impressed by the minimalistic style of the opening and menu. Everything is simplistic yet looks very sharp, and you can immediately tell that a lot of effort was put into this game.
The tale starts off with an inquisition of sorts, and as you converse in this opening sequence the plot begins to unfold. The timeline bounces around as you are spoonfed piecemeal bits of information that slowly come together. I thought the use of this enhanced the storytelling and definitely kept me intrigued. Most of the characters have their own sprite art, and both the pixel and portrait art look top notch.

Kinetic Novel with some interaction.
I enjoyed the writing a lot (and I disliked writing in most VNs I’ve tried so far).
Canny use of sound-effects gives so much atmosphere. They are proof that the devs have a deep understanding of storytelling.
I stopped playing after midgame because of too many crashes and slowdown. Reason is my old pc, I guess. Should work better if you have a bit more than the minimum specs.

Welcome To… Chichester 1/Redux : The Spy Of America And The Long Vacation
A promise once long forgotten comes back with clarity so strong it reinvigorates the need to make it come true
WTC Redux : The spy of America and the Long Vacation takes the reader back to where it all began of the mutual rivalry between Grendel Jinx & The Council of the Unseen and Spy & The Phoenix Custodians and what better way to portray this than through a…. BOSS FIGHT!!!
For anyone new to the Welcome to… Chichester (WTC) games expect a lot of wild, pun-tastic humour mixed with short, flowing action-laden chapters that opens up a world packed with dramatic espionage and interesting characters that are all as equally lively as the main protagonist creating a well balanced plot that hardly lets you go from the start.

This one is quite comical and had a few fun laughs with an aeroplane event where I’m surprised most passengers didn’t grab parachutes and bail.
There is a couple of quirks though
Something strange with app’s achievements
On just launching game it immediately unlocks about 8 before starting game, they all just pop up in rows.
