Kitsune Kitchen
Quite standard visual novel, it probably takes 1 hour to be 100% completed.
The novel itself is about a chef that has to create the perfect BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich and of course, it takes place in a kitchen.
The graphics overall are quite nice and there’s a lot of humour, although the game’s too short and yeah most of all one has to deal with the parodistic/humorous aspects of this all. There are no naked girls, couples to meet, romance or whatever else.. it’s way more down to earth.

My point of view on it - review
You know the phrase this was so bad it’s good?
That would apply here for me, although I didn’t consider it bad, just good.
It was so good that it was good!
For the little price fee this game has you can enjoy the humour of hitting on kitchenware with hilarious endings that includes decent music that you could get in dlc’s for free at the time of writing this review. Therefore I would recommend it, no matter how wrong it is, the humour and laughs are definitely worth it.

Karen: An Outrage Simulator
I went into this game expecting 45 minutes-1 hour’s worth of silly little content that would give me, someone who’s worked in food and retail, a good laugh.
What I got was 3 hours of organ rupturing good humored, nail on the head scenarios that were so scarily familiar but also insanely ridiculous.
Without spoiling anything (yes, yes, there is a plot, and it is delicious), you go through a good handful of incredibly unique, inconvenient situations that could truly happen to anybody. No level feels like a repeat, no joke feels overused or like low-hanging fruit (unless you count the entire premise of the game as low hanging fruit). If you play on Normal mode, you have to figure out how to manipulate different characters to get what you want purely through intuition and guess work, WITHOUT you (Karen) becoming outraged and making a disaster of the place.

Similar to other reviews, I thought this game would be shorter…offering maybe an hour of content. I ended up streaming it for over 3 hours.
I played this with a couple of other friends and we all took turns voice-acting Karen and the other characters. We spent so much time laughing our sides were sore!
I’ve also worked 7 years in retail and, again like other reviewers, have encountered my fair share of “Karens” and this game accurately depicts the stereotypical Karen in her natural habitat.

Cat President 2: Purrlitical Revolution
Oh, a Rock! Studios is back at it again with the sequel to the visual novel I loved so much. Much like the first game, this game does not pretend to be something it’s not. It gives you everything you’d expect from its title and more. Six new candidates, six more cats to love. If you’re interested by a concept as funny as talking cats running for president, this is the VN for you.
Love this game! My vote would go to either Mr. Biscuits or Kaleidoscope.

I’m meant to stay impartial, but… Vote Kaleidoscope! Basically, 6 new VN’s about cats running for president - depending on the cat you choose! If you liked the crazy of the first, you’ll like this.

My Dream Sport Dating Simulator
Stop that! It’s silly!
What the hell was this? Sport dating… as in dating sports… After dating pigeons, cats, bunnies, monsters… eh, why not? It could be fun, I thought. It could be wacky, I thought. Well, it was wacky alright, so forcefully wacky that it wasn’t much fun at all. My Dream Sport Dating Simulator is a comedy game, but my god, I don’t think I laughed once.
You’re a sport(!) and you enroll the school for sports to become the next big thing. Then you meet others and hilarity ensues :| That’s it. That’s the story. Except, I didn’t find it very hilarious. Oh, and this is supposedly a dating sim. Well, there’s no dating either. There are 7 characters you can interact with and they will react positively or not to your choices (so like ‘love points’ in a dating sim), but ‘routes’ are extremely short. To get one ending for a character takes 20-30 minutes. The ‘dating’ consists of random jokes, some references and a lot of 4th wall breaking. You also get one mini game per route of varying annoyingness. Actually I loved the 80s training montage and the library one.

Paper Shakespeare: To Date Or Not To Date?
So far I’m having a great time, clever writing, the art is very good, and I’m enjoying the premise. A more substantial review will come later but I wanted to leave a quick endorsement!

Bought this for the dinosaur mod. Worked out so far for me. I wrote a much longer review but it wasn´t sent so I keep it short…
All together:
good
-
Game has really well drawn characters (in my case dinosaur mod)
-
You get to know other characters ask them questions and eventually date them (was dancin´ with my fav. dinosaur a few times)
-
If you are into that dinosaur / creature stuff this is a really good VN for the pictures and the conversations
-
Sound effects and musik are good, and at least at the beginning it feels like someone´s taking you on a hand and helps

Astrologaster
Let us consult the stars.
Astrologaster was one of those games that I almost passed up on. I don’t remember exactly when I first came across Astrologaster, but it didn’t click with me at first. I was just sleepily browsing the upcoming games section around midnight, as you do, and it popped up. Finding the name interesting, I clicked, looked at the screenshots, and thought “hmm, I don’t know”. I saw it a couple more times, but when it got closer to the release date I finally watched the trailer. Why I didn’t watch it before, I can only blame it on being way too tired that night. With the combination of finding the trailer and the real life element behind Astrologaster intriguing, as well as peeking at a gameplay video, I thought “Hey, why not take the chance?”. Spoiler alert, I’m glad that I did.

Furry Shakespeare: Love’s Lizards Lost
The young king of Navarre has declared a three year study of Castle Dragongate, an ancient keep of unknown origin. He wishes to uncover its secrets, which have been fabled to link back to the beginning of time.
Something like that, at least. It sounds like an awesome spring break for you and the rest of the king’s entourage. There’s no possible way that you’ll stumble on to a conflict that is in dire need of resolution. Hey! The young queen of France is here with HER entourage! That’s going to lead to some sexy hijinks, right? I can already feel the existential dread of what may be lurking within those ancient ruins fading away!

Vegas Tales
The owner of the fabulous Bellflower Casino Hotel in Las Vegas is terminally ill. Having devoted his life to running his hotel, he never made time for family or friends. With no obvious heir, he’s hired you to help him choose the right person to inherit the Bellflower. He narrowed his list of candidates down to a small group of people who have strong personal connections to the hotel, but whom he knows little else about. They’ve agreed to be interviewed by you under the pretense that you’re writing a book about the Bellflower Hotel. None of them know what’s truly at stake. It’s up to you to get to know these people and determine which of them is most worthy of inheriting the Bellflower. This will be no easy task, as the group contains some unique and memorable characters who will make your decision quite difficult. Be careful though, as there may be more to some than meets the eye.
GAI Stops Auto: Right Version Simulator
This game has taken me on an adventure. When I first started it I was a boy, not realizing the essence of life. But with every minute of this game I matured. With every action I opened my eyes wider, until, after one hour, I saw the truth: You have to be your own master. People are not just gonna stop and wait for you. You gotta motion them aside. Your whistle-power and traffic-stick are all it takes. Make them crash on the snow map so they pile up endlessly. Time your “goodbye” perfectly to make them hit the convoy that you shall not interere with. And dont let some buff guys with very few clothing on them tell you otherwise. Just do it. And then, just then, maybe, one day, you’ll stop an alien in a checkered shirt who will ask you this one question: “Have a sex?”

As someone who has been involved with the police on many occasions, I can confirm the accuracy of the situations portrayed in this game. The storyline is quite chilling and captures the intrigue of a ‘behind the scenes look at a Russian Police officer who has to pull over enough people to keep their career. It is both a sad and beautiful story set in Russia with an overwhelming majority of leather men who oftentimes just come out in herds from the woods. The creators did an excellent job portraying a country I have never been to and now I feel that I have.
