****1/2
A classic-style point-and-click adventure with a unique and eye-catching graphic novel art style. The characters are well written, dialogue is believable and well acted, and the environment feels very well lived-in, with a great use of flavour text to maximize humour and character by describing the world through the character’s eyes and personality. The only flaw I can think to mention is a few interface issues that can get annoying but should definitely not stop you from playing this little gem.

Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time
Review with accompanying gameplay videos on Sinical Network
I recently received this game for free as a curator connect offer for my group Visual novel, JRPG, Anime. This kinetic visual novel from Studio Beast and Fruitbat Factory features a trio of unemployed teenage girls Arue Marisugawa, Koiro Hachisuka and Arara Fujisaki with Arue as the protagonist in this episode.
Arue, Koiro and Arara were ineligible to wear any authorization seal which renders them unable to hold any permanent stable employment and hence became Chuusotsu. Arue plans to take a re-evaluation exam and become a government official after missing a crucial exam during middle school from being hospitalized. To be able to survive in a foreign city on a stipend without having to work, Arue has to participate in an experimental study where she has to stay in Tabula Rasa apartments with Koiro and Arara, achieve sufficient synchronicity among themselves and give an answer to the philosophy of life.

Chuusotsu is a cute sci-fi slice of life medium length (by medium I mean between 8-18hs, anything above is already into the longer side) kinetic visual novel with a lot of layers behind the seemingly simplistic front.
You follow the misadventures of Marisugawa Arue as she tries to reform her life as a shut-in, reach her dreams and obviously make some friends along the way. However, things quickly take a turn into the weird and strange but thankfully with a satisfactory conclusion and lead up to the mini sequel.

DEKONSTRUKT
DEKONSTRUKT is an interactive movie, with elements of first-person gameplay. You will be immersed in the inglorious story of a game developer with plenty of destructive black humor. The game responds to never-before-seen creative challenges. Help the protagonist deal with his inner demons. Or not really.
As you can see, the game tries with all its might to seem like it’s not just another triviality. In other words, my mother grew a vegetable, even though she is not a gardener.
✔ A story that will stay in your memory for a long time.
Man of Honor
A cross between Hotline Miami and Mafia. A very quirky game that I had a great time playing. The story and gameplay are both top notch and it’s well worth your time.
– Real player with 4.3 hrs in game
The game makes a very good impression. “Man of honor” is highly recommendable for those who have spent many hours playing gta1,2 and “mafia”. The plot is simple enough - it’s a classic gangster thriller where the main character takes revenge on the one who betrayed him. It genuinely has good gameplay. This game is really hard compared to other games in such style of top-down shooters. It’s kind of game made purely for fun. Love the style. Totally loving this game, and find it hard to stop playing. “Man of honor” is made wisely, with humor and love.

Interference: Dead Air
It was an easy job. Terrible pay, but it was just you, the graveyard shift and your little security booth out in the middle of nowhere. You were planning on catching up on some bad horror movies on tonight’s shift, before reality became stranger and deadlier than anything on VHS.
The facility is overrun, enemies stalk the halls and the science team are in danger. Steer the story through fully voice-acted, branching dialogues. Get on the radio to provide support and direct survivors to safety, reroute power through the facility remotely and track the movement of scientists and threats.
Armed with nothing but your wits, a pin-board map of the facility, your two-way radio, an archaic computer and anything else you can find lying around in the booth, only you can provide support and save your best friend trapped inside the facility. Or you can just switch off your radio, put on a movie and tune out while the world burns. Just pay no attention to the explosions on the horizon.
Be Resourceful:
Just because you’re out of the line of fire doesn’t mean you can take it easy. Juggle radio conversations, tracking dangers on your map board and rerouting power through the facility. So long as the power stays on, you’re still in the fight.
Goof off:
Saving the day is overrated. You and the other security guards have stocked the booth to bursting with distractions and snacks. Put on a movie, heat up some microwaved goodies and chill. Who needs friends anyway?
A Soundtrack To Die For:
Tune into a collection of 80s-inspired synth jams on your FM radio when the stress gets too much for you. Just try not to relax too much.
Through The Loop:
A branching story designed to be played time and time again. Experiment, explore and discover multiple endings with dozens of variations.
Afterparty
I wholeheartedly wanted to like this game, but I can’t recommend it to everyone.
TL;DR it looks great, the premise is great, the voice acting is great, but it doesn’t feel great.
I’ll start off with some positives:
-I absolutely love the aesthetics. The artwork and the lighting and effects are fantastic.
-The environment is extremely detailed and there are plenty of background conversations to eavesdrop on.
-The voice acting is pristine, with a few exceptions.
-Meeting the Greater Demons was really cool.

Afterparty
Afterparty is an story driven, supernatural game from the creators of Oxenfree.
Story
The player controls Lola and Milo that just found out that they died and now have to endure hell for eternity – except there is a way to escape hell by outdrinking Satan in a drinking competition. This where the best buds decide to give it a shot and face Satan.
Personal Note
When I’ve heard that the creators of Oxenfree made a new game I was very excited to play it, unfortunately they decided to make it Epic exclusive for a certain amount of time. When it finally released on Steam, I waited a bit to just buy it during this year’s summer sale and I have to say that I really enjoyed playing through this game.

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.

The Outcast Lovers
I admit I openly ridiculed some of the dialogues in this game. Especially the part with “Werther’s Original”.
But that’s kind of the issue with Outcast Lovers. It is a narrative game, with pretty much the same pros and cons as it’s prequel, The Night Fisherman. But this time, instead of making us experience or feel the narrative, the game just force-feeds us it’s main message.
And since the main message (Immigration system evil and cruel, outcasts helping immigrants marginalized, brave and warm-hearted) is the same as in the prequel game, all the tension is gone. We know how the story is going to end. And we know why.
– Real player with 0.8 hrs in game
The premise of this game, and the other, is the treatment of immigrants. The story of this game was absolutely lost on the reader.
The title is “The Outcast Lovers,” but doesn’t even focus on them other than a conversation about adopting a kid they accidentally hit in a car crash (who is completely fine I guess?). One small fight between the interracial couple (which could have been an additional story element due to the times where that was even more looked down upon) does not make me care for them, or for the kid who randomly gets hit.
