Adorable Crush
tl;dr
A mix between dating sim and match 3 game. It looks like it was inspired by HuniePop. Nice characters, definitely worth a try.
Achievements doable, but partially annoying and exhausting. (High Skill Achievement)
Story
Adorable Crush takes place in Cyberspace.
To be more precise: You are registered at an online/cyberspace dating platform.
You meet some girls, talk to them, learn about their (dis)likings, their attitude and try to get laid.
Gameplay
The user interface looks well made to me. Controls are convenient.

At first glance this may seem like a Huniepop clone &, well…it is really. If you’ve played Huniepop or any other clone game like it then you can play this game immediately as it has the same premise & mechanics so you can get through this thing without much trouble, its easier then Huniepop in that theres fewer girls woo & screw & in some cases you can complete a date by using only one or two date gifts. Some of the things I want to point out are when you first go to sara the interaction between her & hina is funny in that hina asks “what are you reading? Twilight breaking wind?” Which is a comedy spoof film of twilight & I’m guessing that in the far east they might not know that breaking wind means farting so its probably a lost in translation thing on their part, theres two dates gifts called clover & firecracker which are both useful but they have their names mixed up as the clover is called firecracker & vise versa & should be switched around, also, theres one called “orange magic fruit” which looks suspiciously like Ace’s devil fruit the flame flame fruit from One Piece, I don’t know if its an easter egg or an honest mistake or what but they should probably change the name for copyright reasons. When you get all the undies from the girls you have to change the level setting yourself to hard to get the night hunter achievement, I thought that once you unlocked hard mode it switched automatically like in Huniepop but no & if your inventory is full you can’t buy anything else which is a pain because it hinders your completion so you can’t get the girls drunk or find things out about them which is something that should be changed to make things better. If your into gratuitous anime T & A then definitely go for this.

Purrfect Date - Visual Novel/Dating Simulator
As of writing this review I am 29 hours in and I intend to increase that number. Wow, where to start… I have played a few dating sims in my time but none of them have captivated me like this one. None.
Purrfect Date is a combination of a dating sim and a visual novel.
POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD! I do try my best to not mention the most important ones however.
Story and gameplay
I won’t say too much to spoil things for you but what I will tell you is that the story can and will change based on the decisions you make. At first the story seems overly cheerful with humor and action sprinkled on top. You are a scientist arriving on Cat Island to act as the professors research assistant. It is your decisions that truly make this story interesting as things get dark, very dark. Each person seems to notice it at different times but they are always there to notice providing you know where to look.

Unfortunately it happened sooner than I expected but I’m going to write my first negative review:( Every time I start playing a new game I’m so excited, I never presume anything negative. In this case I really thought everything would be just purrfect: a visual novel + dating sim + cats!!! But…
At first I really enjoyed the game and all those lovely cats! You have 6 characters (3 male & 3 female) to choose from but you have to take them all to date all six cats. You are free to match them the way you like. And that was so awesome! You can experience pure romantic love without any prejudices and borders. The couples can be of any gender, they fall in love being a human and a cat. That was really new and I like it a lot! I’ve played some otome games before where pets turn into humans. Being a huge animal lover I still believe the idea is the best possible for such games) I’m personally a big fan. But here you realize that it doesn’t really matter. Love is too strong to mind any limitations!

9-nine-:Episode 3
The game is much more developed with the plot and the romance is build to parallel episode 1’s version. Though, episode 3 is a mix of a visual and kinetic novel. It’s much more straight forward than the last two games of the 9-nine series. Although I wish I had waited for episode 3 to be on sale, I was disappointed the there was no spring break sale for 2021.
Anyhow, it’s certainly easier to interact with Haruka because you can barely hear anything she says in the last two games. This game is (obviously) much more concentrated on letting her interact with Kakeru and co., so at least even on listening at full volume you can finally her hear more clearly.

9-Nine Episode 3 is the penultimate volume of the series with the establishment of the main villain.
Here we focus on Haruka, an older senpai with split personalities. Her personalities are a side effect of her unique superpower and her insecurities, and while a classic case of self-development, her earnest efforts rings true. Haruka’s drastic change between her two personalites increases her appeal, and along with her unique reactions, makes her an expressive and animated heroine.
The series is noticeably weaker when it’s not emphasizing its comedic bits, romantic heart-to-hearts and action heavy scenes, but in the grand scheme of the story, it’s only going to get better from here.

Beach Love Shop
A peaceful game. Perfect to rest your mind and do some click.
– Real player with 4.7 hrs in game
I’ll play any time management game… Except maybe for resource one, but this one isn’t it… Anyway! Beach time! First of all, this game doesn’t have resize screen options… I think it was made for a tablet? But it works well on PC.
It starts off slow… So you learn the ropes, etc… There is a time period where you will feel zen like spacing out… UNTIL you get your license! More products? Everything picks up! That’s where the fun began. I managed to get everything unlocked… So proud…

BENTO GIRL
Bento Girl is a puzzle game where you merge two of the same items together to make a new item.
The goal is to keep merging until you created every adorable bento dish in the game.
You can’t loose, you don’t have to think, there is no challenge and all you do is clicking continuously, opening boxes and merging the same items together.
Some may find this relaxing, but I personally thought it was very boring, and I felt absolutely brain dead while playing this.
After merging certain items you unlock a chef and she can dance for you.

ChronoClock
ChronoClock is very enjoyable visual novel. In fact, its such treat, i am totaly in love with it.
Its moege in its best form! If you are not looking for anything complicated and just want to have fun, i would be hard pressed to think of another VN with such high entertaiment value!
Character design is higlight of this VN. All the characters are incredibly well written, they are also out of usual stereotypes which makes interacting with them really refreshing. For example Makoto is girl with yakuza background, who has quite oldtimer beliefs and holds honor and chivalry in high regard (also she is totaly crazy into rabbits), then you have Misaki who at first glance is tsundere, but when teased a little she comes out spilles out her real feelings (come on, honest tsundere? you have no idea how fun she is), or Cro who is goddess but due to certain circumstances she becomes human girl and is expiriencing everything “human” for first time.

It’s a very enjoyable and straightforward game where you always know on which girl’s route you are. It took me 36 hours to complete.
Story.
I won’t write any details here but I’ll say it’s mostly slice of life type of story. The game promises you it’s nothing serious but that doesn’t mean you won’t cry. I did. It just means there are no bad ends.
Characters.
You have your typical anime archetypes: tsundere, overly attached sister, shy girl, blonde from overseas, etc. Despite beign clichéd they are not boring by any means, in fact I feel each one of them brings something fresh into this pungent bog of stereotypes. There are 6 girls to court, 4 initially available and 2 unlocked after.

Cookie Store
This game was a lot of fun, the way the characters play off of one another. Only issue I saw was that the character arcs were too short, ending just when things got interesting. I wanted more; lots more.

Good art- bad story. Meaningful choices are actually just guesses that zap you dead if you guess wrong. It reminds me of a comic book someone could write about an immature 13 year old trash talking super villain. I had to force myself to finish it as it would not be fair to review it if I had not finished it. It was a struggle. The writer created an interesting world but the story leaves alot to be desired. Example: Main character is in a tough situation so we give him a new power or say he wasn’t really trying hard until now–ect. Save your money!!!

Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY!
When it comes to Fantasy Visual Novel Dating Sims, I put this up there near the top of the list. The storyline is good, the characters have depth, and there is good emphasis on interaction.
If you looking for a X-Rated Visual Novel, look somewhere else, cause this story does not have that, nor does it need it. This means you are safe to play it without concerns about someone looking over your shoulder at the wrong time ;)
I wish more games like this existed, and am excited to see what the developer comes up with next.

I really enjoyed this game. It was a short sweet “adventure” to another place. There are a few typoes that im sure will be caught and fixed in the next couple of days / weeks (i litteraly bought this on release so it is to be expected.) Other than that i cant think of anything that came off poorly.
On the positive side, all of the characters were interesting. The conversations were believable and managed both to move the story line and flesh out the character you are interacting with. When I finished the game, i was left with the sense that i really had gotten to know a bit of everyone. The only thing that could have made this better was of course MORE!!!!! lol but honestly thats the way I always feel when I’ve finished an enjoyable book of any sort.
