CyberRebeat -The Fifth Domain of Warfare-
I’m a huge enthusiast for the cyperpunk genre, and a premise this unique at $5 was hard to pass up. I definitely enjoyed my time with CyberRebeat and would recommend it to anyone who find its premise or subject matter interesting, especially if you find it on sale like I did. However, it’s also important to note that, as a VN itself, its production quality is considerably underwhelming (though it thankfully did not deter my enjoyment as much as it may others).
Let’s start with the good though: The story is lengthy and very engaging. I found myself hooked from beginning to end and wanting more after the credits rolled. The characters and their designs are also a plus: I felt the characters were very well-rounded, not pulling too much (or too little) from their personality traits or backstories to leave a lasting impression on the reader. Background art doesn’t wow much but gets the job done and, similarly, the BGM is also enjoyable despite a relatively short track list (an OST release would be a nice bonus).

This visual novel is a rather odd release. On one hand, it is a VN about hackers and the world they live in, a concept rarely touched on in VNs. On the other, it is a freeware title that is still available to download on the developer’s website, although without the English translation. The game may have some good art, but it definitely shows signs of being a freeware title, and not in a good way.

Please adopt me. # AI needs repair.
Very difficult game about helping an AI recover lost files. Half the game is about interacting with the AI. Simple things like talking, playing games and changing the outfit of the AI. But the real gameplay is doing mini-games to recover lost files. This part is difficult to the point of wanting to rage. But there’s no way around it. For that. it’s a hard pill to offer to others.

COROPATA
Great adorable puzzle game from 2009 but barebones port.
It runs without issues and it’s cheap, so can’t complain.

Charming puzzle game with precise Newtonian physics simulation. Fiendishly difficult, which has resulted in finding some funny alternative solutions.

Early puzzles are easy, but a few are really hard. Most follow a pattern, or can be solved by working towards the edge, but some take forever. I like that I can look up the number of moves in Move Limit. Challenge mode is impossible.

Flash back to the 90s. The familiar puzzle game “Lights Out” but with more variety. Puzzles are pretty easy to start but you’ll still need to think through them to get perfect scores as they get harder. Challenge mode puzzles are more difficult but don’t seem to have a “perfect score” so you’ll need to be content with just solving them.

Quadrilateral Cowboy
Quadrilateral Cowboy is a story about having those youthful, exciting, and often dangerous experiences with a really tight-knit group of friends as you journey through life together, and then growing old to reflect fondly on those memories.
It is all very beautiful to experience.
Half the game is a story that unfolds, and the other half is puzzle solving. The tale is quite moving, and the puzzles are very reasonably difficult, and quite rewarding. If you know Chung’s work, you know what to expect as far as the ‘experience’ or flavor. Otherwise, here is a test to gauge if you will like this game. If two of the three apply to you, then I highly recommend you buy it:

The game has some great ideas and nice attention to detail, but I felt like it never came together.
A lot of mechanics get introduced and then forgotten. New mechanics replace the old ones instead of building on them. There’s hardly any increase in complexity as you go along.
All the levels are simple and focused on 1 to 2 of the avialable mechanics. The rest is either not used at all or simply taken away from the player, sometimes for 1 mission and other times forever.
Because of all this, the game became way too easy later on. Instead of having puzzles to solve, you just go through the motions. Click this, click that, go here, go there. Some timer here and there. No challenge whatsoever. Not to mention you can ‘cheat’ your way though a lot of the levels.

This is a GEM. A Diamond in its own right!!!
Do you like Visual Novel? You can create all your scene with this program! Characters have hundreds of POSES to choose from already made to make it easier for you OR, you could do CLIPS (MOVIES) that you can use to do a VN that have ANIMATIONS IN SPECIAL SCENES YOU WANT! The possibilities are endless!
But please, please do not believe people negative reviews that were done a long time ago! On many front, this game is way better than it was before! The many different videos really help out understanding how everything works TOGETHER NOW!!!
