Finding A Prince: The Game
Thoroughly enjoyable game! The characters are cute and have their own distinct personalities. The script is simple and has silly quips. There are several different enemies to learn the moves and patterns to, and a handful of different path combinations. I’m eager to see what more can be added as this game progresses! Highly recommend if you enjoy turn-based RPGs with lots of different items and events to unlock and discover

Detective Rosie Morgan: Murder on the River Thames
Another enjoyable VN which actually links to The Bahamian Rhapsody and Colorado Cocoa Club VN’s.
I did expect more options like the Others But I feel the one you can end up with is lovely.
Though the Doctor was cute to.
I would guess this was Before Cocoa though as her sister had just gone to Jamaica.
Nice little Yuri

As a fellow British Englishman who enjoys the pleasures of drinking Tea & Coffee, I’m also a Yuri fanatic and I Approve of this game.
Don’t let my hours trick you in thinking there’s LOTS of content to play, I accidentally left the game on a couple of times. At MOST you can finish the game in around 5 hours, if you wanted to read everything and see the different option outcomes and enjoy the lore.
What I did expect was more romance options and people to choose from but nope, didn’t really mind though.

Ms.Director
Ms. Director is a game I can’t give justice to in just words. Either by my terrible writing skills or by repeating what others have said. Yet I can say that Ms. Director is one of the best RPGmaker-style games I have played in a very long time. It succeeds with the good ol’ cliche 2D horror game formula, but feels like a refreshing new experience in the RPGmaker-style genre. Either by well-written characters, fantastic links to LGBTQ+ Hollywood history, or fantastic music.
My final words about this game being a wonderful and beautiful small indie game that has been clearly made with passion and creativity. True love, research and time went into making this and it shines with it. It’s got the typical growing pains and teething problems of being a first major RPGmaker project, but those will eventually go away when the developer learns more and grows from mistakes. Ms. Director is a game I can’t recommend enough. Just writing this review isn’t even doing it justice.

I found this game through a friend on twitter, and saw that it was an indie horror title. I went and played it, not knowing what to expect, and fell in love with the characters, art style, puns, and presentation. It’s a really solid title, with a lot of thought put into it. It is a bit short, and there are a few text errors, but it’s pretty easy to miss when you are focused on all the weird stuff happening in the mansion. I’m looking forward to seeing what sketchy nonsense puts out next.

Sparkles & Gems
A really special gem of a game with a perfectly consistent visual aesthetic and a rocking soundtrack. The match 3 puzzle mechanics alone are fresh but familiar. Treasure mode alone is just a fun grind that I can see myself putting a lot of time into in my future.
What makes this game something truly special and likely to make my game of the year list is the story mode. It drew me in quickly as I tried to understand what this game was. The writing feels familiar but also completely original. It’s strange reality depicted somehow feels more true to life than any ““realistic”” story game I’ve played. This game is really unique. Any point of comparison I can think of would be a disservice to just how special this game really is.

This game is like if Breakout, Bejeweled, and Tetris multiplayer had an orgy and made the ultimate casual game. Each element is familiar but put together really well in a way that makes it fresh and exciting. The gameplay is top notch and super addicting. Games can get really close, and there are often nail-biting moments where you think you’re screwed but barely come out on top. In addition the game is super satisfying to play, which I chalk up to the excellent sound design. Breaking gems and hitting combos never fails to scratch an itch. The music is also really catchy and gets stuck in your head quite easily.

Bard Harder!
We played this through on stream and had an excellent time - the first achievement was a struggle for us though since we won first time! :P
This game is absolutely wonderfully made and definitely deserves to cost more than it does. The art is beautiful, the music funky and the writing is great. Absolutely recommend for a couple of hours of fun!

pros:
-
funny
-
unexpected choices and lines sometimes
-
cool characters (especially the villain which has a great background)
-
easy to understand (I’m french and got everything)
-
not expensive
-
Queer vibes (ace, trans and bisexual representation, and for once people getting that ace =/= aro, that’s nice)
-
Plain flirt, so it’s not oversexualizing, it’s more romantic than sexual really
cns:
-
really short game
-
not a lot of choices, like you really can’t do much
-
if you wanna win, you basically just have to read all the villain’s story and have a good memory

Dangerous! TOO SWEET!!
It’s kinda cool I liked a lot the way it was a simple “love story”.
You mostly build up your relationships with the twins but it’s worth it!
If you’re looking for a love story with a little plot between high schoolers and with lgbtq content, you’re never gonna waste your time on this game!!
Plus the visual and illustrations are really great.

Shield Cat
Shield Cat – the Game!
Shield Cat is a game starring Lance the otter! He is a mail courier for the Cat Kingdom, delivering official letters and packages. One day, Lance wakes up and finds that the Cat Kingdom is in chaos. What’s worse, his friends seem to be responsible! What dark magic could be at work here? Lance will need all the help he can get on his adventure, both to save his friends and to save the Kingdom!
Abilities
Along the way, Lance will find abilities that can help him on his quest. You can equip and upgrade these abilities to enhance Lance’s strength and allow him to use more tools on his quest. Here are just some of the many abilities you can learn:
-
Tubular Twister: Lance’s spin attack! Use this move to get over big gaps, attack enemies, hit gears and levers, open treasure chests, and much more.
-
Shield: Lance can throw his shield to hit enemies from far away. He can also use it to solve puzzles, and upgrade it to give it more distance and range when he throws it.
-
Cards: Lance throws a continual stream of cards from a seemingly endless deck. He can use this ability to take down multiple enemies at once.
-
Dagger: Lance can aim this dagger and hit enemies from a great distance. This ability is good for people who like stealth – enemies wont even know what hit them!
-
Bombs: Lance can use these bombs to open up the path to new areas, or to damage enemies from a distance. It’s explosive fun!
-
Passive Abilities: You can find and equip passive abilities which grant you bonuses as long as they’re equipped, such as increased movement speed, surviving enemy combos, increasing the drop rate of goodies, and more! Be warned though – Equipping these passive abilities takes from your magic for as long as they’re equipped. Watch your magic meter!
-
Upgrades: Lance can find upgrades to his health, magic, and attack that permanently boost his stats.
Collectibles
During your quest, you will find several types of collectibles! Here are some of the collectibles you can find:
-
Pretty Petals: The currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to buy abilities and upgrades at shops.
Fish Scales: Each stage has a fixed number of Fish Scales. Use these to access new locations by train. Can you find all of them in each stage?
-
LANCE Letters: Each stage has 5 LANCE letters for you to find. However, the stages are pretty big – you’ll have to check every nook and cranny if you want to find these!
-
Cat Coin: Special currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to open doors and gain access to new areas.
-
Key: Each stage has a set of keys that are only useful for that stage. If you find a locked door, keep an eye out for a key!
-
Treasure Chest: Find treasure chests scattered throughout the land. It is a mystery what each one contains, but it (most likely) will aide you on your quest! If you find an ability you already have, you can sell it at the shop for Pretty Petals!
-
Fish Statue: These will permanently increase Lance’s max health, so be sure to look for them!
Locations
During your quest, you will visit many locations throughout the Cat Kingdom. Here are just some of the places you’ll visit:
-
Cat Castle Town: The central town of the Cat Kingdom. Here you will find many shops with items that will help you on your journey, as well as mini-games to pass the time with.

-
Underground Forest: A place underground with plenty of trees and views of the sky above.

-
Lignum Woods: A mysterious forest where Lance lives.
-
Lake Fromonda: Scenic lake and home to an aquatic exhibit.
More locations are planned, but don’t have official names yet.
Friends
Along the way, you’ll meet many friends and make more friends. Here are just some of the people you’ll meet:

Game Modes
The game supports different difficulty levels and play modes, which are detailed below! Please note that achievements will only be given on the lowest difficulty used on that play file.
-
Difficulty – Chill: An easier mode where enemies do less damage and are less aggressive, and drop more items and whatnot to help you on your journey. For younger players or players who just want to enoy the game.
-
Difficulty – Regular: The intended game experience, exactly as it was designed.
-
Difficulty – Tough: Enemies are tougher and also tougher to defeat, and drop less items and whatnot. This mode is for people who really want to test their skills.
-
Difficulty – Wild: In this mode, Lance’s attack is doubled, but so are enemy attacks! This mode is for people who like fast paced action and is the ultimate test of players skills.
-
Difficulty – Custom: Experience the game the way you like! Change Lance and enemy modifiers, drop rates, and more! Note that achievements cannot be obtained in this mode – It’s just for fun!
-
Speedrun Options: Various options can be enabled for speedrunners, including an in-game timer, automatically skipping cutscenes, reduced scene transition times, and a quick restart button that erases your file and starts from the beginning.
Demo
Currently, there is not a demo available for Shield Cat. To allow people to still play the game, I’m offering a playtest, in which you can play a non-feature complete build of the game! You can’t “beat” this demo and many things are not available, but you can check out how the development is going as I work toward the Chapter 1 demo. Please check it out!
Thank you!
Thank you for checking out my game!
Adventures of Dragon
This game deserved to be recommended.
From the beginning to the end. This game contains much adult humor and has more playtime then some of the “triple A” titles. This game is just great.
I could say much more but then i would possible spoiling you. So if you like the trailer and just read the reviews to see if it “worth it or not”. Then give it a try!
The only thing you are risking with this game, is having a great time.
(and sorry for my english)

Blooming Nightshade
This VN was designed with mobile phones in mind, which results in an unusual graphic layout and generally very simple visuals. Only two sprites show up on the screen at any time and there are no dedicated illustrations to portray important scenes. Music is also super-simple, and the default font is kind of hard to read (thankfully it can be changed in the menu). It doesn’t give a bad impression, but still looks pretty stiff and basic.
So, how’s the story? Well, also basic. The protagonist is pretty much a blank slate, receiving little introduction and mostly standing out by being the tallest girl in the game. There are six potential love interests who you can either romance or befriend, with each one having a theme (eg. being a gamer, baking, but also things like slight disabilities) along with some kind of issue they have to resolve during the route. It’s your typical slice-of-life fluff, but I can’t say I hated any of the stories or the chemistry between the girls and the protagonist. This is probably still better as a smartphone game, letting you burn some time on a bus or a train with its bite-sized, cute yuri romance… But was still fun enough to keep me reasonably entertained on the PC. Just don’t expect anything deep or elaborately illustrated.

I love dating games - and games in which you are not action,action,action - all the time and for me this is perfect
I too thought like many when i first came across this free game it was nothing more than a girl on girl sex game and nothing more - i was wrong, very wrong
First off there are adult themes in mention only -but gladly never shown (no need to be shown either)
Secondly the girls you get to date each have a good story to them - though the game is short and really for a VN is more read than play with mostly a single option per girl - i really love the stories inside
