Cabin Fever
This game is fucking art. I had to swear just to emphasize this. This game had me gripped from the moment I pressed Start. I couldn’t stop playing it from beginning to end and if it wasn’t 1 am as of the writing of this review, I’d go in for round two. The music, the voice acting, the art, the pace, and tones of the story were so BEAUTIFULLY well done that I couldn’t put it down! The sx scene, not having it is a MAJOR disservice to this game because it isn’t shallow “pron”. I came into this game expecting the usual fan service you’d get with this type of co-ed lifestyle these two are having and despite one fan servicey scene, that is not here and that’s okay! It’s a beautifully captivating love making scene displaying love and emotion set free from their hearts. Yes' it’s somewhat graphic but it isn’t material you would want to use for self pleasure unlike their other games like Crush Crush (of which I gave way too much of my time on :D.)

I got all the endings and all the achievements. Imma do a review because I want to.
Overall complements:
The voice acting, writing and dialogue are pretty damn good. (I used the male VA) The artwork is probably my favourite aspect of the game. It’s always well done and immersive. The atmosphere ranges from wholesome contentment to unease and worry, peril, even. The art supports that feeling a lot. You want so much for things to work out and you’re constantly looking for how it will go wrong in a paranoid way so you can prevent it. It’s draws you in as a result. Because of this wariness, I picked up on honestly well hidden clues as to what was coming. It wasn’t a terribly shocking turn of events simply because of circumstances and knowledge I could presume that the game couldn’t really do anything about, but it did a great job at hinting at it without making it blatantly obvious.

Placebo Love
A beautiful game about different forms of love. For those who like games focused on the story more than the gameplay, this is definitely a game you will love. It has a casting of very touching characters, and I found myself loving each one of them at the end of their bonds, even though I hated some at the beginning. They are very well written, and each of them brings a particular touch to the story. The plot remains interesting all along, making you theorize more than you’d think you would at first.

This is a game I have enjoyed playing.
Gameplay: It’s an interactive decision-making VN type game, with little action and lots of text. If you enjoy good plot and characters, then this is a great game.
Graphics: The in-game graphics are exactly as they appear in the trailer and screenshots. I personally like it.
Audio: Very good soundtrack; I listen to it a lot. There’s a lot of really sweet music and it doesn’t get boring.
Story: 10/10, no spoilers. Each character has their own story and many of them connect to each other; the game is very well written.

MetaWare High School (Demo)
I found this game through a video of Alpha Beta Gamer and decided to watch it out of pure boredom. I stopped at about 15 minutes in because I was enjoying the dialogue and jokes so much I decided to experience the game myself without any spoilers.
All the characters have great designs and are very likable,
! even some of Nari’s lines made me smile and relieved me of some of the tension built up from the unknown.
The game has 10 different endings, and the true ending for getting the other endings. They’re not too hard to get and if you get stuck there’s a great guide which tells what you need to select.
! The dancing ending is the best one though.

‘We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world’' - Gautama Buddha
What a deep quote huh? Definitely not the kind of words you’d expect to use for an opening to a review for a ‘demo’ but then again MetaWare High School (Demo) is not your typical demo. It begins innocently as a multi-character VN each with their own unique personalities to provide the Reader with some depth and variety during the first of many playthroughs. It then gradually morphs into a mesh of dark humour, philosophical ramblings & sardonic irony truly hooking the Reader into this multiple choice branching of five High School females who curiously try to interact with the Reader after discovering his/her presence.

Florence
- Act I - Crush
What to do on your sad Valentine’s day, when you’ve canceled your own pity party and felt betrayed by your own feelings? Simple. To play the mobile game you’ve been hearing some good stuff about, which has been given a surprising Steam release. That’s how I was introduced to Florence, anyway. I will skip that part of the game winning every possible award and beating all the best mobile games back when it was originally released. You most likely know that already. Besides, it’s not that important. The feelings and experience are all that matters. As Maya Angelou famously said: I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. The same is fair for video games - you may forget many details about them, but you will always remember how some of them made you feel. And Florence? Quality emotions delivery service at the click of your mouse!

Another truly mesmerizing and enchanting story experience published by Annapurna. Like I said in other reviews before, don’t expect complex gameplay, just enjoy the emotional ride, and oh boy, does this game deliver in that regard. If you’ve ever been in a relationship or else before, this really presses the one or other button. Could even hurt, too, to watch this, so take this as a word of warning. But if you can make yourself free of that, Florence is an exceptional tale through the mindscape of a young woman and her partner, falling in and out of love. There are no real puzzles (the few that are actually there serve as a brilliantly executed metaphor as well), nor are there any difficulties. Really, it’s just pure storytelling in its highest degree. I guess you either love or hate it, but honestly, I just adore those games, true art in my opinion, with all the little attention to the tiniest details. By the way, music is fantastic as well, extremely emotional piano & strings numbers you would even buy extra (but luckily it’s already included for free, so check out the soundtrack), sometimes tragic, yet inspiring, and all original compositions. I just can’t praise this game enough, and if you’re a bit into emotional and artsy titles, and like French movies (though the game is Australian ;)), please, please give it a try. Yeah, I don’t say this often, for me it’s a must-buy (even though it’s very short), but that’s how good it is. That saying, the ending surely is too optimistic (being an artist myself), but what the heck, why not just be positive for a change :).
