Arise: A Simple Story
Super Mario 3D World, if everything weren’t cats, they removed the Wii U gamepad, and wasn’t Super Mario 3D world
Random title cause I felt like it. I’m not sure on whether to give a ‘recommended’ or ‘not recommended’ for this game, cause it’s a 50/50 split between aspects of this game that I liked, and the ones that infuriated me.
Pros:
-
The Level Designs are amazing. Most games with a persistent time-switching mechanic only have 2 versions of the same map that show the past and the future, and pressing a button transports you to one or the other, but this game lets you slowly see the polygons shift whilst giving you the feeling of manually seeking and rewinding time like it’s a tape recorder. While most puzzles require you to only go back and forth between 2 points in time and freeze it, some puzzles
! (like the rolling boulder or the falling log in level 3) have you constantaneously scrub time and walk at the same time.

## A Guidebook of Babel
**A Guidebook of Babel** is a plot adventure game with butterfly effect at the core. After death, you will soon realize you've boarded the Babel…and while this may feel like the twilight zone, you will be given a pen to rewrite the past so future events can unfold. As a place of transition, we care less about your final destination since it's the journey that matters, right?
Let's get acquainted first...
_[Crew announcement]_ You are now onboard Babel, a giant cruise tasked with leading you to the afterlife. Take this guide with you to help navigate your new surroundings. But first, in order to properly welcome you onboard, the crew will first discharge your memories and power up the Giant Boiler to prepare for departure!
You will need to know how it works in order to complete the Guidebook adventure log:
* #### Butterfly Effect
This is an unusual journey, but you'll be able to piece everything together in the end. I hope. While you're at it, you'll realize you can rewind and fast forward to a point in time to rewrite the story. It's entirely up to you to decide
* #### Multiple Perspectives
Relax…everyone here is a friend of mine, so sit back and let them tell you their stories. Soon you'll find that their separate perspectives may be intertwined.
* #### Unpredictable Outcomes
The consequences of triggering the butterfly effect are utterly unpredictable as even the smallest change could drastically alter the future. With that much power in your hands, who is really telling the story here? You or me?
You may feel like you've landed in Bizarro World, but I assure you'll soon find Babel an extraordinary place to be. I don't mean to brag...but here's what you can expect:
#### A series of "unfortunate" events
A story-rich adventure that takes off the moment you land on Babel. But the afterlife is not a dull place, you will soon find yourself intertwined in drama and mishaps that requires your full attention.
#### Comedic art style with an original soundtrack
With a touch of inspired lunacy and nostalgia, you'll be guaranteed an immersively entertaining yet unconventional experience on the Babel.
#### Choices really matter
An interpretation of butterfly effect where your choices will have a rippling effect on story progression, we're counting on you!
#### Light-hearted yet deserving reflection
A heart-warming adventure while exploring themes of life, death, family and letting go...

## TheDawn
As a work that can be played for free, the story and STG level are high quality.
This work is set in South Korea in 2033, and in this era, human beings were deprived of "everything" from the "AI" they created, and it was completely monitored and governed by "AI with high intelligence". The situation was suffering from inhumane acts.
There, Maya, the hero with high fighting ability, born from many human experiments, challenged "AI" and stood up to release humanity from the control of "AI".
That is the content.

So fun, i wish i could play more, really hope the dev sees the reviews and expands on this game as it has potential to make it big and the combat feels fun too. a really nice short aesthetically pleasing game with a fun un-clunky combat system. Will follow the Dev for future products/games, i really hope to see this develop into a fully fledged game one day.

## ChronoClock
ChronoClock is very enjoyable visual novel. In fact, its such treat, i am totaly in love with it.
Its moege in its best form! If you are not looking for anything complicated and just want to have fun, i would be hard pressed to think of another VN with such high entertaiment value!
Character design is higlight of this VN. All the characters are incredibly well written, they are also out of usual stereotypes which makes interacting with them really refreshing. For example Makoto is girl with yakuza background, who has quite oldtimer beliefs and holds honor and chivalry in high regard (also she is totaly crazy into rabbits), then you have Misaki who at first glance is tsundere, but when teased a little she comes out spilles out her real feelings (come on, honest tsundere? you have no idea how fun she is), or Cro who is goddess but due to certain circumstances she becomes human girl and is expiriencing everything "human" for first time.

It's a very enjoyable and straightforward game where you always know on which girl's route you are. It took me 36 hours to complete.
### Story.
I won't write any details here but I'll say it's mostly slice of life type of story. The game promises you it's nothing serious but that doesn't mean you won't cry. I did. It just means there are no bad ends.
### Characters.
You have your typical anime archetypes: tsundere, overly attached sister, shy girl, blonde from overseas, etc. Despite beign clichéd they are not boring by any means, in fact I feel each one of them brings something fresh into this pungent bog of stereotypes. There are 6 girls to court, 4 initially available and 2 unlocked after.

## Claire's Cruisin' Cafe
I was hesitant at first because it give me a Delicious Emily clone type vibe. However after playing it, it does had its own charm. The graphics is really pretty, I love it very much. Gameplay is good, I like the two person serving together feature, it still need some work but good still. However, there is some part that I feel like too bland, the cutscene at every level, the story is still decent but the way it present is boring, it just give speech bubble to tell the story without animation, it feel boring after few level. Most of challenge is repetitive and not challenging enough. Overall I still like the game, it's a beautiful game. I looking forward to the sequel with more improvement.

_Claire's Cruisin' Cafe_ is a casual time management game with a cooking theme. You take orders from your customers, use different machines to prepare the dishes, serve them and bill them after they’re done eating. It’s not a revolutionary idea, it’s actually been done many times before and also in several other variants (fashion design, hospital care, veterinary ward, murder investigation etc), but it’s the kind of game that I would prioritize playing above almost any other.
In terms of genre / game design, GameHouse titles most likely come to mind first, since they are the most popular on Steam among players who enjoy this kind of games. The present review aims to draw a comparison between [Alawar Entertainment](https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/ALAGAMES)’s _Claire's Cruisin' Cafe_ and [GameHouse’s Delicious](https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/2398/Delicious_8in1_Bundle/) series.

## Robin Hood: Winds of Freedom
It's a fun game for this genre.
*– [Real player with 17.2 hrs in game](http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198292249432)*
Game graphics are excellent. The game it self is many levels which are repetitive and ask too much each time, items such as food are wasted because of being used as a distraction. Fun in you have no other games to play.
