UPDATE:
The game hasn’t had an update in 4 months and there have been no communications about it from the developer. The English translation of the game has had no changes from the initial release – it is still incomprehensible, written or translated by someone who does not have a good grasp of English. Furthermore, when I confronted the developer through the games' group chat about a refund, I was promptly banned, without even receiving any sort of answer.
TL;DR - The written English of this game is incomprehensible. Development of this game seems to have stopped after the initial release. I strongly advise against buying this game.

Meanwhile: An Interactive Comic Book
Jason Shiga’s amazing comic in digital form. While the book is still my preferred method of navigating, I’m really glad that more people are able to experience this for the first time. If you liked this, be sure to check out his other work that’s available online for free, the math mystery thriller Fleep and his sprawling epic Demon, they’re both worth your time.

Grail to the Thief
This is an accessibility/disability friendly interactive text adventure where you make simple choices to progress through a time travel mystery. The voice acting in the game is quite good. The game also provides audible accessibility prompts to tell you which keys map to which responses.
The quality of this game may not be particularly great, but it must be taken into account that the game is free, and designed specifically to be accessible to the vision impaired. While I generally would give any other game with the same level of quality a thumbs down, For All To Play have done a service to differently abled gamers and this is entirely commendable. I recommend this game for any gamer seeking accessible gaming options.

Grail to the Thief is a text (and audio)-based game in which you make decisions to progress through the story. Kinda like the old Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books of the nineties.
These types of games always intrigue me as I like being able to choose the plot of my own story. While I love that part of it, in addition to the humor this game brings, I’m not necessarily a fan of the fact that there’s one ending, no mater what you choose, really (if I’m wrong, let me know, but that’s the way it seemed to be). In addition, while the voices for the characters are great, the narrator’s voice was very annoying at times. Also, the game is extremely short (30 to 45 minutes at the most).

The Wednesday
I can’t believe that the game cost me $15. You can enjoy a lot lot better games with way cheaper price. Do not buy it if you cherish your money. I purchase this only because I wanted to find out why many people blame this game so much. I didn’t want to criticize this game before I actually play it to the end. Now I can, so here I start.
Story was fair enough, but not great. Personally I thought the story was ok. It’s probably the only positive part of this game, but there is little to spoil so I don’t understand why they asked for not streaming the later chapters. The puzzles during the game were too easy so it’s not even worth mentioning.

Dodo Adventures
Explore the past in VR - seek out and save some Dodo eggs, but beware of those eyes peering through the darkness. Somewhat educational, but also somewhat glitchy. Humans ruin everything.

VR Balloon Flying over Tokyo and Hokkaido
BE AWARE! This is not a game!
you can roam around as some kind of flying animal in different maps/scenery but all of them are very small.
I only keep this because of the “japanese style street” scenery.
Bamboo-Forest scenery woudl be nice, BUT there is a dfference in the water-refelction in left and right eye,
so no way to enjoy this.
It could be nice if the dev would invest more effort into beta-testing and bug fixing updates.

After School Murder Club!!
it may look a bit different but let me tell you: this was the most exciting and fun visual novel game I’ve played in a while and it’s 100% worth trying!
and yes, with 9 hours I’ve only got one ending so far (still gotta get the other one’s!) so.. if you take your time with reading the dialogues, you get a lot for a free (!!) game.
ps. Pain(t)-kun still haunts me in my dreams (and I ain’t complaining)

I wasn’t sure about this title at first, but I ended up enjoying it in the end.
Apparently this started out as a practice/joke visual novel, and it definitely shows, but it knows what it is: a satirical jab at anime tropes with an overall silly plotline. There are references to popculture and memes throughout. Heck, one of the first things the main character says is “Gotta go fast!”
The artstyle isn’t really anything to write home about. The characters seem to have been made with some kind of anime dress up doll programs, which causes a bit of whiplash when the actually drawn scenes show up thanks to how different they look.

Time Tenshi
After I finished playing the New Time Tenshi, I have to say that this game really catches me off guard. This game is interesting and unique. Not to say I don’t have some ups and downs in this game, but this game really sends me on a wild ride through my time playing it. I’m already coming up with theories or what if ideas that might happen. To start off, I would like to talk about some of the ups and downs I have for this game, warning: there are spoilers ahead:
UPS:
- Kenji and Tensai:
This game did a really good job at portraying the main character, Kenji Johnson. Especially with his emotional states. When Kenji feels sad, I admit I would shed a tear or two as well. When he angry, I could feel his anger and understood the stress he is going through perfectly. What also made me like Kenji in this game is how analytical he is compared to the other characters. Literally, he was able to piece together who the “Commander” was, in either the main story or the alternate route. And when he is placed in an argument, he can not only keep his ground, but also contradict his opposition.

Before I get into the review, let me get some things said now. This is a reboot/remake of the first game with no breast expansion and very little fanservice. My opinion on it? I prefer it. Sure, this franchise is infamous for BE, but I felt this series was trying to focus on the story more. This VN isn’t a fanservice VN with time travel, but a story involving time travel WITH fanservice. However, I can see why people put more focus on the fanservice. Another thing is the failed Kickstarter and the things that weren’t able to make it in the game. Things like Voice acting, more illustrations, and even romance routes for the villains weren’t added in. However, I’m going to judge this game as to what we were given, not what it was supposed to be. Anyways…
