Welcome To… Chichester 2 - Part II : No Extra Regrets For The Future
Great cg visuals.

Good tempo for gameplay, with scenes changing often and a lot of intrigue and plotlines, though bordering on a bit much leaving the player slightly confused with everything going on with various characters having their own agenda’s.

Welcome to… Chichester 2 - Part II: No Extra Regrets for the Future
Developer: Triority Interactive Novels
Publisher: Triority Interactive Novels
Pros:
1. The story maintains its chaotic humor and it also looks more into the background of Grendel Jinx and the main character, even giving information of the protagonist’s previous line of work before he became an agent of The Phoenix Custodians. It also acts as a buildup for the next chapter.

Stories of Mara
I always have a soft spot for the lore of a well-crafted world, and that is exactly what this game gives you. Summer in Mara (and Deiland for that matter) do a wonderful job of creating rich, heartfelt worlds. As such is the case it can be hard to fit everything into one game, and that is where this game fills in.
A good remimder that we each have our own story and motivations, not just “the blacksmith”
Chibig Studio remains a bit of a hidden gem in the game community. Each release full of heart and genuine care for their community. Stories of Mara is no exception.

Stories of Mara is a short free slice-of life visual novel. Only the first chapter is released for now. This episodic tale presents lots of diverse characters you could see before if you’ve played Summer in Mara. I haven’t. And I’m sure I was missing something but this game may be played separately for sure. As I understood the main chars are missing and we just have the chance to know better some of the side characters. For such a short story the number of chars was really great and the way they looked was quite unique. In general, the game is very bright and kinda relaxing. I’m not a fan of dating sims or mini games. I prefer just to read and make choices, the more the better. But here making different boat models was surprisingly great fun. The very image of MC able to fix anything was rather appealing.

9-nine-:Episode 4
Episode 4 is the first game I’ve played of the series.
The story is so good that I want to read all of the chapters. Except I don’t, because that would mean I wouldn’t see Noa and Kakeru together anymore.
The creators did a splendid job at helping you understand the plot without having to read the previous chapters. This was definitely one of my bigger concerns because nobody likes experiencing things where they’re left completely out of the loop.
I find the quality of this story to come close to some of my favorite novels: Chaos;Child, Steins;Gate and ISLAND. Many events in this novel seem to be centered around personalities and it shows you how much thought went in to every single character, but the main story revolves around the concept of time travel with their own fascinating twist added to it.

This is not a proper review AT ALL, I am just typing what I have in my mind.
9-nine series, definitely masterpiece-tier visual novel for me. Who would have thought a simple story about investigating the truth behind a crime would lead up to so many messed up things. Truth to be told, I thought 9-nine is just another visual novel that talks about daily life with the heroines, having dates, sharing first kiss, saving the heroines in dangerous situation and so on. Hell no, 9-nine brought me more than that, of course one thing that surprised me the most is the game breaking the fourth wall and involve you as much as possible into the story.

Eternia: Pet Whisperer
I’m not a particularly big fan of visual novels but the premise of this game most definitely is my thing.
! You get to rescue talking, time-travelling animals that live forever. What’s not to love? Who wouldn’t want to take them all home?
The game is charming and sweet, utterly bonkers and very funny - there’s been so many laugh out loud moments for me throughout the game (especially the reference to the size of ratty nads!).
The artwork is just lovely. A gorgeous watercolour, painterly style. Perfect for the tone of the game. The UI is simple and intuitive. The music is adorable and suits the game so well.

This is a fun, light visual novel about bonding with talking pets, with a small amount of framing narrative and hints about the world in which it’s set (which did subvert my expectations). Each of the pets has a distinct and different (and often quirky) personality, and most of the game is learning about them by spending time with them and thereby earning their trust.
The artwork and music are upbeat and bright, fitting the general tone, and each of the plotlines moves along quickly. It’s very much a visual novel rather than a puzzle game, with your choices mostly being which pet’s storyline to follow each day, but with its brisk play time of 1-2 hours this works fine.

Witches x Warlocks
Witches & Warlocks is a lovely little Halloween game by the developers of Royal Alchemist – basically a simplified, cute variation on that dating sim, quite different in tone, but sharing its high-quality art and solid writing. It follows the story of Fay Nightshade, a witch whose hobby of matchmaking couples all around their fantastical town made them grossly neglect their magic studies. To not get expelled from school, they have to quickly learn spells and prepare herself for a major practical exam, while managing their potion stockpile (necessary spell reagents) and money (used to buy extra potions). Each of the four romanceable characters, who are willing to help the protagonist in catching up, has five spells they can teach them – learning most of those from a love interest unlocks appropriate romance ending.

It’s honestly one of the cutest wholesome visual novels I’ve played in a while.
I really like the art work and the gender option on how you create your character. The fact that you can be male presenting with a female or gender neutral voice and have she/her pronouns was awesome. Also has they/them pronouns.
The voice acting is pretty good. Having 2 male, one female and one non-binary character as a potential interest was very much appreciated for me. You rarely ever see that. So far I’ve only cleared 2 routes, but i love the stories and dialogue between the main character and the love interests. It doesn’t take much to do a run through, my first play through was about an hour, but that one route made me interested in the others and i’m going to complete everyone.

Hunting Moon vol.2
This belongs in the garbage.
Unlike the previous Hunting Moon, this one atleast seems to be partly translated by a proper translator. However it is still plauged by the exact same issues as the previous one, some words and sentences make absolutely no sense whatsoever. On one occasion during the story, they got the words “read” and “watch” mixed up, so the characters were watching a diary and reading the TV. On some occasions it was pretty clear that they we’re not able to translate a sentence so they just did an autotranslate on it. Some puns get lost in the translation like for example the word “shark” being mistaken for a verb. Just like last time, the translation was just inserted back into the VN without proper text allignment or proofreading. More than once, the dialogue gets cut midsentence and the next scene spells the letters that didn’t quite fit the dialogue box in the previous scene.

Methods: The Detective Competition
This game is so charming and wonderful, it’s quickly become one of my favourite games ever! If you like mystery stories and fun characters, I highly recommend you pick it up. And if anything seems interesting, don’t be afraid to try out the demo!
On to the (spoiler free) review! (I’ve never written a review before, so apologies if it reads oddly at all.)
The gist of the story is that, 100 of America’s greatest detectives and 100 of its worst criminals are pit in a battle royale against each other to win a million dollars. (And parole, if they’re a criminal.) You play through the stories of several participants as they advance through the competition, meeting new faces at every turn. The game is split into 100 chapters, and it took me personally about 7.5 hours to play through them all on my first playthrough.

This is probably one of my top ten games I have ever played, in part because I love solving locked room mysteries so much. I do realize it will not be everyone’s cup of tea, however. Here are (in my opinion) the main downsides of this game: 1. character art is a little lackluster, but you can see that for yourself on the steam page. You do get used to it though, and the character designs do have a lot of personality. 2. The pacing is a little weird. Sometimes you will go through long-ish periods of cutscenes back to back or mysteries back to back. 3. Finally, the ending does leave some loose ends, which could maybe have been intended to pave the way for a sequel (or maybe the game designers just couldn’t decide how to wrap them up, I don’t know). With those downsides out of the way, here are the things I love: 1. mysteries upon mysteries upon mysteries. Both little murder scenes you have to solve and some big over-arching mysteries within the game. 2. The characters are really fun. Both detectives and criminals all have a special method they use to do what they do, and it is very fun to see all of the varieties of detectives and murderers they came up with. You also get to play as different detectives and use their methods of solving mysteries, which is cool. You also get to briefly step into playing as a criminal as well. Again, I’ve never met a game with so many mysteries to solve, so this game was lots of fun for me. To me this game is very worth the $20 it normally costs (so I’d say to definitely get it if it sounds interesting, especially if it goes on sale).

Camp W
A cute Visual Novel in its own style that isn’t about romance ? You have my attention. And it takes place in a magical universe in which you can even cast spells ? Where do I sign ?
Camp W is a lovely and family friendly Visual Novel that I particularly enjoyed, to which I was attracted in the first place because of the creative, beautiful and colourful hand-drawn artwork, and then by the witchcraft. You play as a teen witch : Lysander, if you want to play as a boy, or Liliandra if you prefer a girl ; you can rename your character in any case at the beginning of the game and the gender doesn’t exactly have any impact.

This is such a quaint little visual novel.
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, and all the characters are colourful and expressive. The game has such a comforting tone that it actually makes you feel like you’re at summer camp and having a fun time. The charming music and artwork lend to these feelings greatly.
There’s also multiple paths to take throughout so there’s many ways to beat the game. You can make best friends with certain people, or try to fill out a page book of merit badges and memorabilia.

Furry Finder - Dating Visual Novel
Furry Finder is a visual novel game about finding the love of your life. After turbulent moments in your life, you will have to stand up to your shyness.
The main goal of the game is to use a dating app called “Furry Finder” and give Alexis (the main protagonist) a chance to find true love. Despite breaking up, Sophie (Alexis’s longtime girlfriend and now good friend) is always with us to give us many useful tips such as flirting advice. You have to remember that everything you do will affect your future. If you don’t like someone, it doesn’t mean you have to spend time with this person. Remember, it’s your life! Since the love meter does not function as much as it does in other games, you must choose your choices carefully. The game will end in a variety of ways: you could become a master of flirting and find true love, or you could end up being alone. Let’s get started! Everything is in your hands!
⭐ Interactive phone with the dating app, and funny pictures.
⭐ You decide with whom you connect your future.
⭐ Your decisions have an impact on the behavior of the characters and the ending of the novel.
⭐ Computer graphics (CG) created specifically for times that represent the action of the characters.
⭐ Artwork that has been beautifully painted.
⭐ multiple endings.
⭐ Great soundtrack.
