Nice to NO you
My Experience
After my first in-game day of choosing whose memory to wipe, I was annoyed. I didn’t feel like the flow of the game made intuitive sense. Initially, you’re choosing which three of the citizens to move forward to the next stage of the process. Then, at the next citizen line-up (after questioning each citizen you’ve sent forward), you’re choosing which two of the citizens to dismiss. I feel like it would make more sense here if you chose a citizen to move forward - in the same fashion you did at the first line-up.

Out of Frame / ノベルゲームの枠組みを変えるノベルゲーム。
I can’t remember how I learned about this game, but I’m glad I did.
Recommended if you want to try short non-traditional adventure/VN. Although it may seem difficult at times I only really got stuck once. Right at the beginning while looking for the solution to the first “task”. I don’t know if there was no obvious hint or if I just missed it.
Also, Denko was cute. Wouldn’t mind some more time with her :)

Overall a pretty fun puzzle solving short visual novel, It’s puzzle is creative and unique. Although sometimes its easy to get stuck since you need to trigger specific scenes first even though you already know what is happening bu the character doesn’t. It’s pretty hard in some part too.

Pathway
Build 1.1.6 review
This is an Indiana Jones (Temple of Doom/ Raiders of the Lost Ark) inspired role play tactics game that is suitable for players relatively new to tactical games. This is because each skirmish is generally resolved within 5 minutes. The adventure itself can last an hour or so depending on your choices and the number of sectors (maps) assigned to that adventure. Each adventure sector will always start and end at defined locations, but the possible routes are always procedurally generated. You can save after any encounter has been resolved.

🎤Introduction
Pathway is a turn-based rogue-like that takes its core mechanics inspired by the Xcom series and its art style and story inspired by Indiana Jones. Neither of these hinders the game because it’s not original, in fact these two combined work well together. Though the rogue-like elements don’t suit the strategic and cautious gameplay style very well and overall it makes the game more repetitive and frustrating than it needs to be.
✔️Pros
• 16 unique characters all with their unique abilities, skills, perks, and personalities

Bunker Down
Its simple and fun. I think I have found 4 separate endings already, but there seem to be more… Finding the true good ending is HARD. I’m still trying, but i’m enjoying the characters ^^

It’s a pretty good game for what little there is. You must find the right combination on how to survive. I’m a fan of post apocalyptic games and this fits the criteria. Funny characters and hard to decide who lives and dies.

Mondealy: Day One
In Mondealy we are introduced to the secret hidden world of Mondealy, a universe where multiple races of humans evolved on the same planet. Mondealy is a classic side scrolling rpg adventure where you build relationships with various people in order to change the world around you in meaningful ways. In Mondealy: Day One, we are introduced to the various worlds that exist within the Mondealy timeline. The world of Mondealy is really well built, and filled with tons of unique races and complex individuals. Quite a few different paths look like they are developing that will change how relationships evolve with the various people that you interact with and the choices you make. I’m really looking forward to seeing how this game turns out once its complete. The full game of Mondealy is expected to come out in 2022.

Tldr: Give it a try!
Pros
Art: Surprisingly good, I wasn’t expecting it to have that much polish for a demo. I specifically like the transitions between areas and the character portraits are good at displaying emotion.
Partial Controller Support
Gameplay: There’s stuff you can interact with. You have a phone that shows you tasks, and you can check you inventory. Well Optimized.
Sound: It’s alright.
Cons
There’s Fast Travel, but only on the surface.
It’s also kinda pointless because on the way to the Forest there’s a few screens besides each other with Fast Travel, but below the surface there’s no Fast Travel.

春と修羅｜Haru to Shura
I felt that I should review this game because I can find very little online about it, and thought it deserved a little more recognition. I will fully admit that I heard about and was interested in this game because of Studio Pixel’s involvement. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had the same graphical charm and polish we saw in Cave Story and Kero Blaster, but has an identity of its own. Gameplay takes a backseat here to story, and it works very well with the medium. It felt similar to a visual novel with the heavy amounts of dialogue, but it knows when to give the player a break and move around. The game is about three hours long and I enjoyed it the whole way through. I do not wish to get into spoiler territory but I suggest playing this game blind as it gives one a lot to ponder.

As a fan of Studio Pixel’s other works, this was a game that I was excited for in the months leading up to its sequel. Getting to play it, a lot of things stayed true to the quality of Studio Pixel’s other games. The pixel art and OST are both phenomenal, and the game is able to convey complex thoughts with minimalistic output. That said, this game also has some flaws that definitely were noticeable and that can impact your enjoyment of the game.
Note that as of the time of writing this review I have only gotten one ending, which appears to have been the true / good ending to the game.
