Your amazing T-Gotchi!
This game is AWSOME! If you are a gamer like me who loves games like Doki Doki Literature club and Danganronpa, (Basically games that have mature topics like death) then I definitely recommend this game for you! Its short but sweet, and its pretty cute. The Tamagotchi you are taking care of has a sweet personality and can be a little possessive (fine a lot but still who can blame her) To be honest, its not worth the 5 dollars, so try to get it on sale (I got it at 50% off). As I said above, it looks like a cute game so if you are looking for exactly that, I do not recommend you play it. Happy playing!

well, this game was certainly an interesting mental test and an exercise to futility…
(SPOILERS BELOW)
it was an emotional rollercoaster, and while at first i had hopes of giving her a happy or a better ending, all (early) attempts ended in disaster.
then, i tried to earn the other achievements, so i had to treat her badly in order to complete the games achievements.
it was a very thought provoking game, and it got into some very dark places.
its strange how you see a digital character, a character that doesnt exist, and yet it can cause you so much sadness when she suffers or when she is feeling hopeless and alone/depressed.

Chair F*cking Simulator
Erotic. Sublime. A wonderful experience with which to pass the time.
Chair Fcking Simulator, henceforth known as CFS offers a unique outlook into the lifestyle of sxually uninhibited, potato shaped being. Browsing through profiles on postcards, Potato-Like Man picks one perfect and sexy piece of furniture with which to do the deed.
Friends, let me tell you that I’d been quivering with anticipation up to this point but when the actual act began, ohhh, what art. Potato-man slams his vegetable groin into a variety of sultry seats. Thus far, my most beloved memory was Potato grinding his shapely buttocks (You can do that too in case you don’t feel especially thrusty) into a spitting image of Ol' Sparky complete with blue electric light.

Absolutely my favorite experience that I have ever had with any f**king sim.
Graphics:
The graphics are pretty stellar for a game about chair… buffing. Your character really gives off the vibes that they are the last thing alive in the immersive world, but we’ll get to setting in a moment. Overall, 7/10 in graphics. Great, but I don’t necessarily feel like I’m buffing a chair.
Story:
The story is barebones, if there at all, but you can grasp the rough points:
*You are the last living thing that isn’t a chair

Missing Time
I am writing this brief review, not as a full on recommendation, but a bit of a mixed bag.
Art
In my opinion, the art is top tier, for the most part. A good chunk of CGs and variations of sprites. A surprising amount of backgrounds as well deserves a noticeable mention. There are a few CGs that are different style enough that it becomes somewhat distracting when you notice it, but that is a minor detail.
Music
The music is pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking, but nothing terrible either.

Love Bites
Hello Steam user who is wondering if this little visual novel is worth their time. I’m going to tell you right now that the answer is a sad no which is actually quite frustrating because I really wanted to like this game. It has everything I like in stories like this. It has mystery and intrigue and romance and supernatural elements to enrich the world and yet how it’s executed is like something cobbled together like a blind drunk monkey on a typewriter. Seriously, the mechanics in this game are not great. We’re not talking 1931 Scheherazade bad but they are not good and they really bogged down what could’ve been a great cheesy Halloween visual novel.
– Real player with 10.8 hrs in game
Pros:
+Charming love interests (Viktor especially was very cute)
+You can romance a mad scientist. I always wanted to romance a mad scientist. You can also romance a witch, a werelion and a vampire huntress, I mean come on, that’s pretty interesting.
+Some scenes were genuinely creepy. (it’s a horror game after all, so this is a good thing)
+You can choose the gender of your protagonist, I like games that give you that option.
Cons:
-The side characters were used horribly. We get introduced to the protagonist’s friends in the beginning, only that they never appear again.

Wet steps
Drip-drop… she is coming for you…
TW: graphic content, horror elements
Game’s premise:
**_You play as a typical attractive main character who appears to be tired of daily dose of love confessions coming from fellow schoolgirls.
After rejecting one more girl being close to bringing upon you her romantic confession, you stumble upon an odd dressed girl outside of school who seems to have been taking a look at you for a while, maintaining her distance.
After bringing to you some questionable information about having intentions of keeping you safe and spelling a so-defined-by-her spell on you, she leaves you stating that you will find her punctually after school at the same spot._**

Wet Steps takes you for a short yet intriguing ride with some rather nice horror elements. It’s well-paced despite being so short and provides you with different endings that are quite good. However, it’s not without faults.
First things first, the writing could use some work. Now, the description is pretty decent and has character – which is kind of vital as it’s written in first person. However, it does something strange, and after consulting several people on it we all agree: the italics for thinking makes no sense. If the text was written in third person for the description and so on, putting italics on thinking would be understandable here. But since it’s already in first person, it instead disrupts the writing.

When The Night Comes
Before anything, I want to say - Gideon Emery (Finn’s voice actor)! He is my all time favourite voice actor - Fenris from Dragon Age, Balthier from FF12, Lor’themar Theron from World of Warcraft and many more. I really did not expect to hear his voice, I almost squealed when I heard it! Also, August’s voice actor (Jonah Scott) is AMAZING! I usually don’t like voice acting in indie VNs, but the voices are so good.
Game has a nice sort of mystery plot. It’s nicely written, doesn’t get boring and keeps you wanting to find out how it ends. Also the “bad ending” paths are well done.

I give this VN 7.5/10
Pros: Beautiful character creations (especially Ezra, he’s unique, breathtaking witch)
Lovely voices (Finn, Erza, Alkar, August), although, Omen' voice seem a little off
Have a lot of romance options. When you officially engage in one romance route, things seem more focus, I like it better than dilly dally between them all in the initiation.
Full well spoiled by the end game and 3 mini stories after.
There are more missing parts make you want to play anew, and those beautiful galleries sure help make it interesting.

Call Me Under
Dive into the 1950s and explore an eldritch-horror-infested world soaked in dark magic, mystery, and romance. Call Me Under takes place in the mysterious underwater city of Styx, a haven inhabited by humans, sirens, and a host of unknown otherworldly entities.
Play as a choice of two different faceless protagonists from The Surface seeking to leave their past behind and start fresh in a new city, even if it is one only rumored to exist at the bottom of the ocean. They do say there’s nothing like a clean slate…
But maybe not if you find yourself thrown into the middle of a brewing fight between the Shadows and the Light; two ancient, otherworldly entities embroiled in a centuries-long battle for power.
Our two demos (demo two can be found on lunarisgames.itch.io/callmeunder) ) are a very early example of what you will see in the final game, with many elements and features still a work in progress. We created this preview with the intent of introducing you to the characters and giving you a peek into the world of Styx, and we look forward to bringing you an incredible game when completed! Blue is the only character that is voiced in the demos, but all seven of our main characters will be in the completed game. The game will be available on PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch upon release.

Café Rouge
I wish there was a middle-ground in whether to recommend the game. At least not until some of the bugs have been fixed such as being stuck after one of the endings and some minor adjustments as well.
While I did feel some nostalgia for the old game and was really excited to see how the reboot plays out, it feels slightly off-putting. While It does have beautiful artwork and the visual presentation looks divinely polished, it doesn’t seem to have some of the charm the old one has.
Don’t get me wrong; the artwork may have been inconsistent in the old version and those cooking mini games were hard AF, I thought the way it was made was very innovative and I always wonder what it would be like if those aspects were polished and brought back to the reboot or just something to add after unlocking a chapter.(I can only just dream about it lol)

3rd edit, probably final. I’ll reiterate ; My review may seem harsh but due to the polished look of the art and characters it gives the impression it’s a very polished game - It is not.
I don’t recommend this game.
You can play it for free on a browser I believe via the publisher for 3 of the routes. Try that/the demo first - then decide.
Honest suggestion ; You name your character “Ebony Darkness Dementia Raven Way”, the Ebony Darkness part being just the first name. You’ll have a better understanding of how this game reads if you’re familiar with the name.

Love Notes
Waking up in an abandoned building, you have no memory of what transpired the night before. Adding to this mystery, you find your band is in shambles as most members split or leave.
Set in the same world as Love Bites, Love Notes lets you play as Rachel or Jesse, two musicians of the band Spectral Howl.
As time passes, they’ll start to feel strange, their bodies changing into something different after their night of amnesia. Long teeth, unnatural thirst, and a sluggishness during the day. Someone did this to them. But who, and why?
Try to solve the mystery of what happened that night, and who are they changing into.
During the story, both Jesse and Rachel will be able to romance one of the following characters:
-
Tristan, who runs the bar Nightshade and almost never go out during the day
-
Valerie, Tristan’s sister and sexy bartender who isn’t afraid of anything
-
Nathan, an ex-student of medicine who can commune with the spirit world
-
Zoe, apparently a regular librarian, in reality she has lived multiple lives
-
Kasumi, a media savvy girl who can adapt to any situation
Each love interest can be equally romanced by Rachel or Jesse, but each path is unique.
You’ll also encounter again some familiar faces from Love Bites as secondary characters, with various cameos and references. But it’s not necessary to have played it: they are two separate stories set in the same world.
