It’s You: A Breakup Story
I started playing this thinking “I’ll be that guy that listens to EVERYTHING and gets through everything” but honestly? 30 minutes in and Josh is just. so. damn. annoying. He’s just… so easy to hate. And hate with passion. I love it. You really can answer yeah/okay/same/hmm so many times in a row before you just simply… cannot.
The browser has a tab for music and honestly? Great idea, same with Tweeter, and especially with Tractor Dad: Civil War. They definitely help pass the time when you’re just trying to hear the guy out… and he talks so much… too much even. To the point where that “block” button just looks too good to be true. An hour in I pressed that button with joy, satisfaction.

DUDE, SHUT UP ABOUT HEALTHVETICA. IT’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS YOURSELF.
I’VE HUNG UP ON YOU SO MANY TIMES, AND YOU KEEP CALLING ME. STOP.
This such a great depiction of a toxic relationship. At first, Josh doesn’t seem so bad. He’s had a bad day, he’s venting. We’ve all been there. Then comes the small insults, controlling behavior, and showing he doesn’t even care about you.
Some of the dialog tree doesn’t quite match up, and if you keep going long enough, you end up in a loop of “I don’t want to talk about X anymore, let’s talk about Y.” Then on to Z, and back to X.

Untale: King of Revinia
I mean this is a probably one of the best visual novels ever made…like easily. I think the only visual novel that is better is Seeds of Chaos. If you are going to make a visual novel you have to dedicate considerable time to the story, art direction, and ability for the player to make choices that have an effect on the story. For some reason I don’t understand, almost no visual novels can meet that minimum standard. Untale doesn’t just meet those standards it exceeds them. The amount of different choices you have in this game is quite stunning and it’s clear a ton of work was put into making the outcomes of these choices make logical sense. Even the music here is great, I think they could use more music, but it’s probably the most robust visual novel soundtrack except for probably Lady Killer in a Bind’s amazing jazz score.

The art of the game is good, the story/plot is interessing and the characters are quite interessing.
Why I do not recommend it ? Because playing a “power less” guy that just do is best to survive is frustrating. And the save mechanism really help to keep the frustration very high.. ( please restart from the beginning and remember you choice… such a pain… ).
I also dont like the “combat” behavior ( being able to skip the minigame once done was a good idea… why keeping the combat ? ).
I’m sad because I really find the ambiance good but keeping trying to find the less bad ending is not where I take pleasure to play.

Guilt Free
this is a very tedious game.
i’m not quite sure if it was done intentionally, but i think that was rather well-executed. the creators did not bother with putting fillers in an attempt to lift the mood, but instead dove right in and sustained the immersive experience of dealing with someone who has bulimia.
the choices presented for your character’s response and alice’s responses to them can be extremely aggravating, frustrating, and tiring to listen to. their thoughts and feelings were never sugarcoated– and credits for the game for giving the character a diverse set of options rather than being just supportive or unsupportive. they can be supportive and effective. supportive but ineffective. in that regard, i consider the game well-thought out and realistic in the way we, as people, may consider the same responses to actual people like alice, and have an equally diverse range of reactions towards discovering alice’s woes.

This short and highly replayable game depicts bulimic and anorexic symptoms accurately, and does well to convey the experience of slowly uncovering and helping someone through an eating disorder and body dysmorphia.
The art is competent and quite stylish, fitting the mood of the narrative. A few details are odd and hint at the game’s indie origins, but overall everything is consistent and charming in appearance.
Much of the dialogue deals with bulimic symptoms in real-world detail, which was completely accurate to my own experiences, and may trigger players who recognize these symptoms. Paranoia and gaslighting are also depicted on the part of the narrator with the same narrative realism. The game has a “trigger warning,” and given its content and audience, this is warranted.

If you’re craving anything even remotely similar to the storytelling in Life is Strange 1 or Before the Storm, you should may as well look elsewhere. If you don’t like social themes in you games – regardless of subtlety or lack thereof – you’re probably wasting your time, too.
Minor plot spoilers for Life is Strange 1 and 2.
On a technical level, LiS 2 far surpasses LiS 1 and even BTS. Environments feel much less static. Dialogue is more fluid. You’ll find yourself wandering around, only to discover little quips and comments from Sean, Daniel, or the other characters minutes later. The animations are spectacular. Lip-syncing is no longer puppet-quality, although that issue was mostly resolved in BTS. You’ve got your standard Dontnod/Deck Nine beautiful environmental shots. While on the topic of visuals, LiS 2 is undoubtedly the most visually diverse Life of Strange game to date. You get to see sleepy small towns blanketed in snow, redwood forests in California, scorched deserts. You even get a small taste of that original LIfe is Strange vibe (you know what I mean if you play it) in Episode 1 that sort of lulls you into a false sense of security. You think for a second that this game will be kind of like the other Life is Strange games. Boy, are you going to be in for a shock.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey
First of all, it’s fair to say that I bought and started the game a few weeks after main launch, so all the critical patches and fixes were already implemented. Played it through twice and encountered no bugs or glitches both times, except for one where the game crashes right before rolling credits, apparently only happening on W7 64 bit… Eh, nothing game-breaking. Later updates also added more interactive points and SEVERAL additional achievements, so I would say by now it’s pretty polished.

I now arrived at about the middle of the game and I will certainly recommend it, but…
It is a game which enchants you by its really interesting and unusual setting and a great art style. I can think of no other game (point and click adventure - like ) where you play such a stylish hero or rather pair of heroes. The dynamics between the human character and his animal compagnion is original and fun. The dog Fey talks to animals and uses her nose while du Lac interacts with humans and you can change between them almost any time, this is cool. Although -at least until now- this dynmaics is not living up to its potential.

Burn Me Alive is a pseudo-psychological horror game in the walking simulator game space. Your wife and kid got burnt to toast and were buried in the cemetery, your therapist should have clued you in on, probably wasn’t the best choice for a grieving husband/dad. Throw in a whole bunch of cigs and booze and Satan just starts coming out of ya! Burn Me Alive is almost too stereotypical for a game like this. It sounds like a metal song name or a movie or a book, sadly generic with little impacts.
