Love Mystery Club
Intro
Does it have Love? Yes. Does it have elements of mystery? very loosely yes. Is it a club? No, but one of the girl is in a club room, so i guess the name suit the game then.
Pros
-
Cheap
-
Easy to paly
-
Very easy to solve
-
Easy achievements
-
Multiple languages (English translation is fine, I’ve seen worst)
Cons
-
Don’t really like how they downplay the Umineko thingy
-
Knowing chinese and good with tones, the girls' voice when they are angry are too mild
– Real player with 9.1 hrs in game
Despite its low price point Love Mystery Club doesn’t have enough content to be worth even that. Two very short stories with average writing quality and terrible English translation is all you get out of this. If you have a buck or two and really want another visual novel to fill out your Steam library (which may or may not be why I bought it) then go ahead, but I can’t promise you won’t regret the purchase.

Star Seeker in: the Secret of the Sorcerous Standoff
Fun, short investigative adventure that’s all about its comedic narration.
You’re a Star Seeker, a young magician busted for some “interesting activities” by the law enforcement, who’s now on parole. You’re being brought in at the murder scene to share your magic expertise in exchange for lowering the punishment time. The detective seems nice, the forensics lady on the contrary, seems annoying, but you don’t care all that much. After all, you’re there to shave off some days of that parole and possibly swipe an expensive bottle of extra-virgin virgin blood – something any magician can find an effective use for, so you dive right in.
– Real player with 2.6 hrs in game
A Really charming game! If you’re a fan of mystery games and trying to figure things out, then this is for you! Plus, the added aspect of this not being your ordinary mystery; this is a WIZARD mystery, made all the logic all the more fun to figure out!
The character dynamics were really fun (ESPECIALLY The titular “Star Seeker,” Who I now hold a close spiritual connection to) and it was clever writing that kept me entertained throughout the entire game. Every combo for evidence has unique dialogue, so you’re definitely going to want to go through all of that.

Stranded 2
The absolute worst game I have ever played. Complete horse sh*t.
I grew up on text based games so real excited about this but wouldn’t recommend to my enemies.
For $3 I’ll keep just in case it is ever actually playable.
– Real player with 6.1 hrs in game
Not just a text adventure. There’s art, sound and also has an advanced parser as you can see from the trailer. The puzzles are fun and challenging. Plus, as a bonus, you also get Zenobi Software’s Stranded 1 along with it (playable in the accompanied Spectrum emulator).
I do recommend reading the manual, even if you have played many text adventures before this one. It has tips and new features which you really don’t want to miss out on.

A Guidebook of Babel
A Guidebook of Babel is a plot adventure game with butterfly effect at the core. After death, you will soon realize you’ve boarded the Babel…and while this may feel like the twilight zone, you will be given a pen to rewrite the past so future events can unfold. As a place of transition, we care less about your final destination since it’s the journey that matters, right?
Let’s get acquainted first…
[Crew announcement] You are now onboard Babel, a giant cruise tasked with leading you to the afterlife. Take this guide with you to help navigate your new surroundings. But first, in order to properly welcome you onboard, the crew will first discharge your memories and power up the Giant Boiler to prepare for departure!
You will need to know how it works in order to complete the Guidebook adventure log:
-
Butterfly Effect
This is an unusual journey, but you’ll be able to piece everything together in the end. I hope. While you’re at it, you’ll realize you can rewind and fast forward to a point in time to rewrite the story. It’s entirely up to you to decide
-
Multiple Perspectives
Relax…everyone here is a friend of mine, so sit back and let them tell you their stories. Soon you’ll find that their separate perspectives may be intertwined.
-
Unpredictable Outcomes
The consequences of triggering the butterfly effect are utterly unpredictable as even the smallest change could drastically alter the future. With that much power in your hands, who is really telling the story here? You or me?
You may feel like you’ve landed in Bizarro World, but I assure you’ll soon find Babel an extraordinary place to be. I don’t mean to brag…but here’s what you can expect:
A series of “unfortunate” events
A story-rich adventure that takes off the moment you land on Babel. But the afterlife is not a dull place, you will soon find yourself intertwined in drama and mishaps that requires your full attention.
Comedic art style with an original soundtrack
With a touch of inspired lunacy and nostalgia, you’ll be guaranteed an immersively entertaining yet unconventional experience on the Babel.
Choices really matter
An interpretation of butterfly effect where your choices will have a rippling effect on story progression, we’re counting on you!
Light-hearted yet deserving reflection
A heart-warming adventure while exploring themes of life, death, family and letting go…
A Hand With Many Fingers
So I was given a key for this game, to create some content. The result of which you can see here: Before you watch, to clarify the video contains SPOILERS however this text review does not.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaO7fwtkQUQ
Firstly the concept of the game is great, I would love to see this adapted to a more conventional case-based system for murders, true crimes, etc. Maybe split into an episodic story etc.
The searching, retrieving boxes, reviewing evidence is interesting although a slightly tiresome mechanic. Thankfully the game isn’t too long, much longer and I would have resented the walking up and downstairs.
– Real player with 4.5 hrs in game
I absolutely loved A Hand with Many Fingers.
In my college studies I work under a history professor as a research assistant, focusing on digging through FBI files from the mid 60’s / 70’s (specifically COINTELPRO related documents). Given this context, A Hand with Many Fingers scratches an itch I have only ever really been able to experience while doing actual archival research work. The game is a like a direct injection of the dopamine rush experienced when something finally clicks in your investigation. Leaving out the hours of scanning useless or redacted pages of documentation, this game plays like a highlight reel of those “Ah ha!” moments of coming across something juicy or finally making an important connection that can move your research forward. The use of a conspiracy cork board that you put together over time only goes to make the experience even more satisfying as things fall into place.
