Drinks With Abbey
All of the awkwardness of a first date without the price tag or the time wasted (that almost sounds like a reason to recommend this game…)
Unfortunately it’s not much of a game. It’s a 5 minute long choose-your-own-adventure graphic novel where you answer anywhere from 5 to 20 questions to get one of 9 different endings. I suppose if you’ve never had a date before this all might seem novel and interesting, but it’s just a cliché summary of stereotypical first-date night-at-a-bar tropes that ends long before it bothers to be unique or interesting.

Game emphasizes being honest
I say that the waitress isn’t that hot since she looked kinda “meh” to me
Abbey accuses me of being a lying bitch who’s just trying to impress her/not make her jealous
That’s when I learned that when a lot of people say “I like someone who is honest”, what they really mean is “I prefer someone who gives answers that I like”
Observe how she’s alright with throwing the wool over your eyes (the waitress, gives false idea of pool skills, etc.), yet if you tried to mislead her in any way, she’s all “dude wtf!?”.

This is a pretty short game but its pretty well made and I enjoyed what was there, it took me some time but I did finally get all three endings. My favorite ending I think was 2a, it made me smile, but 2b hurt my heart. Thanks to the devs for creating this, I really hope they do more like it, I’d like to see a game like this with a few more outcomes and a bit more length

Eternia: Pet Whisperer
I’m not a particularly big fan of visual novels but the premise of this game most definitely is my thing.
! You get to rescue talking, time-travelling animals that live forever. What’s not to love? Who wouldn’t want to take them all home?
The game is charming and sweet, utterly bonkers and very funny - there’s been so many laugh out loud moments for me throughout the game (especially the reference to the size of ratty nads!).
The artwork is just lovely. A gorgeous watercolour, painterly style. Perfect for the tone of the game. The UI is simple and intuitive. The music is adorable and suits the game so well.

This is a fun, light visual novel about bonding with talking pets, with a small amount of framing narrative and hints about the world in which it’s set (which did subvert my expectations). Each of the pets has a distinct and different (and often quirky) personality, and most of the game is learning about them by spending time with them and thereby earning their trust.
The artwork and music are upbeat and bright, fitting the general tone, and each of the plotlines moves along quickly. It’s very much a visual novel rather than a puzzle game, with your choices mostly being which pet’s storyline to follow each day, but with its brisk play time of 1-2 hours this works fine.

My Silly Life
very nice , good story .
– Real player with 3.5 hrs in game
I enjoyed the game. It has nice graphics and music. The story is interesting and gets better as you keep reading. It has a heartwarming ending. It’s a nice game, about 1.4 hours long but I read pretty quickly. I would buy it especially on sale. It’s a fun, short game. I like the characters especially the main character. It was very peaceful.

Pen Pal Princess
This story begins like many others do… With a princess locked away through no fault of her own. Her parents honor the old traditions of royal courtship and, unfortunately for our princess, this involves a lonely bedroom in an unnecessarily tall tower with a fearsome dragon as her only housemate.
Pen Pal Princess is a queer romantic comedy visual novel set in a technologically modern fantasy world. Correspond with potential suitors through letter writing, email, and instant messaging to convince them to rescue you from your secluded princess tower! Will you be honest to yourself and others to find true love, or are you looking for a quick match who has a big sword ;D and can get you out of the tower as soon as possible?
-
Multiple romance routes!
-
Minigames and letter writing!
-
…Hot dragons?
What kind of princess will you be?
Border of her Heart
Played Character Route Order: Stephen ◈ Angmar ◈ Yggraine ◈ Helewisa ◈ Tiphania
The story of Border of her Heart is not engrossing enough to cover up neither how flat the characters are nor how poorly the romance paths and storytelling are executed. The English voice-over is decent, it’s probably the biggest highlight of this game. Although it’s nothing out of the ordinary by any means and certainly no reason to play this despite its flaws and issues.
There are several romance paths, including one route with a male, but it’s seriously not worth it since this Visual Novel provides no redeemable qualities whatsoever. The plot is utterly dull, generic, and predictable, the romance paths don’t differ even slightly from that. It’s far below average even for the low price tag, which makes it hardly interesting for those that appreciate a good read.

Art: 7/10 (Quite good considering the asking price)
Grammar: 7/10 (Not over the top but very much comprehensive)
Length: 8/10 (Very short, but fair given the asking price)
VA: 6/10 (Some of the voices come off as awkward. But across the board it’s pleasant)'
Routes: 8/10 (Short and sweet, but rather good. Was quite surprised by it)
Waifu: 9,000/10 (Healer is bae)
Final Verdict: Nice and short, given the price, is a good VN that is comprehensive and enjoyable. Would recommend to those who just want to enjoy a very simple VN.

Five Dates
TLDR; One of the best “full motion video (FMV)” games BUT MIGHT NOT FOR EVERYONE.
Alright, After spending over 7 hours I can say this firmly, hands down to one of the best FMV games I’ve played. The game puts you in a character called “Viny” a 5'9 good looking guy, with dates via a dating app.
I must say the game-play is quite amazing and one can sense the efforts had to put behind the making.
I think, The actors did fantastic job justifying their roles and the personalities. IMO, the game is not meant for everyone, since game actually has quite a bit interesting angles in every single personality. The decisions decides the further path of the game/relationship on the choice you make/actions you take.

I recommend this game to nearly anyone.
The mechanics are very simple. You basically have to pick-up choices and ask questions. Just be careful so you wont hit a nerve. Your background, customizable at the beginning, can also have a profound impact on how each girl will relate to your character.
In addition, this is a game that practically demands replays. As your character uses the free version of a dating app, he is only entitled to pick up 3 possible candidates on his first pass. On his second pass, even if he is deemed acceptable by all 3 previous women, he is limited to 2 virtual dates. On the final pass, you are restricted to the “final girl”.

Furries & Scalies & Bears OH MY! 2: Return to Kale Bay
So this game is a ride! One that you realize is going to go crazy about 15 mins. into it. I’ll not spoiler anything, other than to say Its definetly different. I’ve no idea why the author took the story in the direction they did. And it left ALOT of unanswered questions about what happened to everyone from the original game! Questions I was not expecting a sequel to bring up, and all the usual questions you would expect some answers from in a sequel. No Answers given, just unexplained mysteries. This one created alot of loose ends, which i absolutely cant get into cause spoilers! but grrrrrrrrr I so wana ask why what and how now!

Dementia the game! (A Friend bought me this game)
The plot is super confusing and all over the place but none the less sort of all makes sense at the end,.its 4 am so i mean i’m tired as heck but yea it was an overall weird? decent experience or something. Breaks the 4th wall a couple of times and has some humor in their like dragons going to space even though they have wings and can fly.
P.S
Wyatt is a sweet heart best character in the game.
