Gloomy Eyes

Played with Oculus Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop streaming.

This was incredibly pleasant. Totally worth it on sale for a half hour experience. Worth it regardless if you don’t need to be as concerned over finances. But I would like to see more of these at $5. Girlfriend watched it first and then I did. Was a nice activity for the weekend.

You don’t need controllers once it starts up simply looking at the 3 chapters will start them.

You will want a decent guardian area set up as you’ll want to get in close at times or change your viewing perspective. It’s 360 degrees although things aren’t happening everywhere all the time. It’ll be clear where you should be looking. Sometimes it’s lower to the ground or higher up. Similar to Allumette: The Little Match Girl in style. I do wish it was a little brighter even if it’s supposed to be dark.

The Journey Down: Chapter One

The Journey Down: Chapter One

Overall, this is a solid P&C Adventure game, with reasonably logical puzzles once you immerse, and no Guide-Dang-It solutions- it’s possible to work out all the solutions given the information available in the game. That said, there was at least one puzzle that refused several plausible solutions in favor of what seems to me to be a less-plausible (though more amusing) one, and several in which I knew the concept of the solution, but there wasn’t much of an indication about how to actually do that. Plus the traditional complex “solve it because it’s there” puzzle that turns out to massively help your protagonist progress in a somewhat illogical way, but that’s so common in the genre that it might actually be considered a lack if it weren’t present. :-J There is the usual complete refusal by the protagonist to clean up after themselves- I wish more of these games would let us give people their stuff back once it’s not needed any more. Hopefully, there will be uses for the items still in Bwana’s pockets at the end of the chapter, instead of the traditional “lost everything during the cutscene” trope.

This title really surprised me with how well it was made. I came in having no expectations. I had bought the game as part of a bundle on indiegala, and was only really going to try it out while waiting for another (and much larger in size) game to download, and was frankly blown away right from the start.

You start off in dire straights with your electricity having been shut off because you hadn’t paid your bills for a while. This means you can’t make any money because the pump in your gas station that you own an operate relies on the power to run. However with some cheeky DYI smarts, you’re soon back to normal… If normal means no customers, which… it does.

Elisa: Seduce the Innkeeper

Elisa: Seduce the Innkeeper

Below the dashes was written earlier. I’ve now played more of this, as well as other visual novels. The pace of this one is extremely slow, with a text speed that won’t adjust (though the setting is there, it seems to do nothing). Additionally, each scene lasts for many more lines of dialogue than I am used to, and the autoplay and skip are both still moving at the text display speed, just without having to click to move to the next. The adult patch does work after I installed it correctly (I had the wrong folder originally, but that was my fault), and the art is not bad, and is more explicit than even patched Huniepop. Still, the pace leaves me cold.

The english translation could use a better localizer to be honest. a good few times the wording felt off. the MC felt like a pretty creepy dude at times like the kind you don’t want to see irl. The art excellent for the most part. just a few scenes i think could have used more color mainly the countryside one felt bland(more flowers preferably). I enjoyed the girls this is just after my first playthrough where i got rebecca and caterina. if you can stomache Alfonso’s ceepiness and just downright predatory attitude and date some anime babes go for it. I did enjoy despite it’s flaws. but to the devs please get a better localizer for your content maybe spend a little more time in the story writing room and i think with your visuals you could really hit it out of the park if you fixed a few of your writing mistakes and the MCs attitude.
