Orwell’s Animal Farm
This game explains nothing about its gameplay (after multiple playthroughs I’m still unsure of what the Animalism stat does) and appears to be a buggy mess of RNG. Dead animals can still comment on events occurring (Napoleon and Boxer appear to be the biggest culprits) or show up at the gravesite despite being dead (such as the Cabal of Pigs ending where Snowball and Napoleon have died, but Napoleon is at the grave). You can run into problems where you have plenty of supplies and want to repair the buildings but you can’t until the option presents itself, or similarly where you had the opportunity to harvest with multiple animals to fill the supplies to their maximum but suddenly only one animal can be chosen and you have far less than usual. Sometimes it skips letting you plant for next year which makes supplies much worse and no longer lets you plant on subsequent years, even if you have the supplies to do so.

Introduction
George Orwell’s dystopian and satirist literary work undoubtedly influenced, and still influences, a lot of other creative people, who are inspired by his themes, and use them for their own work. However, having a full videogame adaptation of his work is something else, and now we finally got it with Orwell’s Animal Farm, which adapts the original allegorical novella. This text-based game tries to capture and expand the book’s themes and experience a bit by adding several story choices. There is not much more to this game, as you could say it is similar to a visual novel. Is it a good addition, though? Well, let us dive into the review to find it out!

Belle-de-Nuit
I was hooked from the start. Never have I ever had such a delightful experience reading interactive fiction, and I feel more open to trying similar games in the future. Sebastian, with his heart of gold and noble soul, stole my heart. The writing is so good. My only complaint is that I don’t feel there was enough build-up in Amaryllis' and Lou’s routes, they didn’t draw my attention to start with haha I’m happy I got to share sweet moments with Sebastian. He’s my definition of husband-material ❤

My Dear Frankenstein -English Edition-
A very cute and fun puzzle game from NUMBER7 and Moonchime. I played this for the spooky season and the atmosphere was perfect! (Not to say you can’t play it at any time of the year)
The main character is a boy named Adam who has been given life by a reclusive and wealthy man rather obsessed with pushing the boundaries of science and technology. After being warned about leaving the mansion due to his startling appearance, Adam receives a mysterious visitor who wants him to do the exact opposite. As it turns out, pieces of Adam’s heart have been scattered throughout the town and he must explore to get them back.

Ninki Seiyuu: How to Make a Pop Voice Actress
This game exceeded my expectations by a mile, featuring some solid character writing with its development of the three main heroines. This, coupled with great supporting characters and pairings where both the MC and the girls work equally hard to succeed made for a very satisfying experience. Only minor complaint would be that one of its lovable supporting characters(Kaname) does not have a route of her own.

This is a pretty good visual novel with a lot of passion. There are too many H-scenes in my opinion, and some of the expressions don’t change as much as they could in my opinion. The ambiance is well done in this story and the side characters are cast well. The manner in which the text displays the thoughts of characters aside from the protagonist can be confusing at first.
[Light spoilers about plot theme]
I will talk about how I believe the voice actresses were well chosen for their roles.
Kurusu probably has the most generically lovely voice out of voice actresses. In a way, her voice is the polished type that the anime industry wishes to utilize for female leads. She gets a lot of jobs because of this.

雨音スイッチ - Amane Switch -
There are a ton of repeated, nonsensical, random dialogue that is annoying and very distracting from the story line. Words are split in half between two lines, which is also distracting and you have to play over 2 hours of the game to get to a choice (I’m not sure how long because I saved and then fast forwarded to the choices to get an idea of what to expect and haven’t gone back to my save yet because the extra text makes it almost unbearable to play).

Can someone explain why the game is full of lines like “In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site” or “this is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money”? Like, come on! This is INCREDIBLY disrupting.

Field Hospital: Dr. Taylor’s Story
Better than I thought!
I’m not a big fan of such kinds of games BUT this one hooked me for a few hours.
Nice stories.
Interesting to read while you’re playing.
Good atmosphere (too much sfx of machine guns in the background, imho, but it’s not a big deal - just make the music louder! :)).
Well done, guys!
Wonderful start!
Keep going and good luck with the next project!
Really would like to play your next game.

Tell Me Why
Title is an Overrated Backstreet Boys Song But The Game Is Not!
We all had that moment when we saw the title of this game and sang that song in our heads. It deserves a better title imo and I stand by that. So this game is the pinnacle of pride month for June 2021. So I am extremely thankful for the Devs for providing like literally the whole game for free. Short story goes that the game is very atmospheric, not much puzzle invested and emotionally can be terrifying. It is by the devs of Life is Strange, so I did compare or was going to compare as soon as I installed the game. The two are very different in terms of atmosphere and the creativity. I feel like this game is more of a statement than an actual game. Common factor on both games is that protagonists in both games share an abnormal power of no origin.

Tell me why the music is no good in this game?
Tell Me Why is a new game from DontNod studio behind such masterpiece as Life is Strange and other good games such as Vampyr or Remember Me. Well this is not Life is Strange. I loved both LiS games they made and I liked this one. It’s a good game, just not as good as both LiS games.
The game is about twins and the mystery behind their mother. One of the siblings killed the mother and other one took the blame. After years of separation they finally meet again and go to the old house wanting to tidy up it up a bit and get some stuff before selling it. But suddenly they’re start finding puzzles and secrets their mother left and they start wondering about her past and who their father was.

The Journey - Episode 1: Whatever This Is
Secret word: Introspective
Pretty sick!
So, I wanna say I felt like the disclaimer introduction was a bit too long. However, I’m not sure if it prepared me better for the overall experience because the game frankly doesn’t get more complex or engaged than you want it to be. It’s an exercise in… whatever.
It doesn’t shock you by knowing your first name (based on your steam profile). It doesn’t intrude in your beliefs, current interests, or past experiences with similar exercises.
If you’re looking for “gameplay,” this isn’t for you… but it COULD be for you on another day, at another time, or in-between other games.

Code word: Introspective
So, this is highly recommendable. In fact this is the best computer game I have ever played. While I do like all of the games of the company, I love this one. I did not only buy it, but also send it to a friend as a present. Actually considering sending it to a few other friends/family members as well. This is awesome!
Why I think this is amazing:
-
The game makes me think and analyse. Two things I love to do.
-
It made me see the world in a slightly new perspective.
-
Playing this made me feel very good. (Even if that is not the purpose of the game.)

Life is Strange: True Colors
《前言》
《Life is strange-True Colors(奇妙人生:本色)》是《Life is strange(下簡稱LiS)》的最新作，官方定調為系列主線第三部作品: 真.LiS 3。不過True Colors並非由LiS1和LiS2的開發商Dontnod Entertainment所開發，而是由主導LiS1前傳:Before the storm 的Deck Nine所製作(LiS1及LiS: Before the storm的Remastered版也是由其所製作)。
雖然筆者對本作有興趣，但因為價格考量(以pc的互動式冒險遊戲來說，本作價格是真的有一點貴，原價是1790NTD。如果是Deluxe版則破2000NTD)，直到steam-2021萬聖節特惠才購買本作。雖非恐怖/驚悚/鬼怪題材的遊戲，不過因為劇情中有變裝和萬聖節的劇情，因此也有參加萬聖節特惠。.
《色彩艷麗且富有魅力的採礦小鎮》
劇中虛構的Haven Springs以採礦業為主的小鎮，湖光山色美如畫，配上各首音樂，讓玩家感到放鬆及享受 (孩子，累了嗎? 坐在頂樓的躺椅上，靜靜聽黑膠唱片懷舊，好嗎?)

I played the original LiS when it was first released, it was one of my favorite games. Since then, I’ve played them all. Lis 2, Before the Storm, Captain Spirit, etc. I absolutely loved this game. It takes about 12 hours to beat so, the one downside that comes to mind is if 12 hours of gameplay is worth 60 dollars.
However, that’s my only bad remark for the game. To me, this felt like the best spiritual successor to LiS 1. I loved the characters, conversations felt very organic, the town was beautiful. Alex is a fantastic main character and I felt that the two love interests were way more balanced than LiS 1.
