Women of Xal
This game has so many layers to it… the plot twists… the stakes riding on your decisions! I am in awe. I went through so many ““bad”” endings to get to the ‘true’ good ending but having to work for that ending made it so much more satisfying. Not to mention that the ““bad”” endings still had brilliant content, and I enjoyed playing each time as there are so many different decisions to make. And so many people to woo…. heart eyes

Feminist brain: This is an excellent use of the visual novel format with amazingly complex worldbuilding, distinctive characters who are easy to love (or hate, as the case may be), and while the dream-dropping doesn’t seem to be integrated into the game so far it’s an interesting concept I’d like to see. All in all, I’m very much looking forward to the finished product.

Selfloss
Selfloss is a story-driven adventure game about a kind old man, set in a fantasy world based on ancient Russian and Icelandic myths. Use the light of your staff to defeat mythical creatures and help those in need. Perform a ceremony called “Selfloss” to heal your own wounded soul.
The old man hears the cry of an unknown animal and is eager to find it and help it. And thus your adventure begins…
-
The magical staff is central to the game’s mechanics and story.
-
Combat is strategic and dynamic. You control the character and his staff simultaneously and independently: the magic staff levitates around the protagonist, generating spells.
-
You can explore the world of Selfloss on foot or by boat, discovering Slavic and Icelandic myths along the way as you help others overcome their hardships and grief.
-
A unique sea-worshiping world with whale gods, resembling the landscapes of Iceland.
-
The art style was inspired by postimpressionism, and the colors of Selfloss were chosen with reference to color theories, particularly Simultaneous Contrast theory.

Before actually working on a project of this scale, the basic design should be perfect. Feedback from actual players (you guys) is extremely valuable in determining what works and what doesn’t. Releasing a free demo on Steam seems like the best way to get as much feedback as possible in the shortest time.
The demo could be considered a condensed version in terms of gameplay. It includes most of the characters, skills, equipment, items and enemies that are planned for the full game. There’s no plot, however, no quests, no puzzles. The game elements and locations may or may not be part of the full game. That depends on your feedback! :)
Wildsilver is planned to be released in autumn 2022. There may be an early-access version.

Magical Otoge Iris
Important Note
Even without reading this review, I highly recommend that you download the demo prior to purchasing this game. It helps give a good feel with how the game runs.
Save files from the demo will be transferred over to the full game when purchased and you also have the option to skip the events from the demo.
Overview:
Reiterating what was stated in this game’s description, “Magical Otoge Iris” is an otome visual novel. The player takes the role of the female protagonist, Iris, who works as a “purifier” – a person who helps move spirits onto the afterlife. There are four main routes (Rieffe, Lanneis, Reqieu, and Septem) and four best friend routes (the mechanics of these routes will be explained further in the Gameplay section). As I continue on with this review, I may shorten “Magical Otoge Iris” to “MO Iris.”

First of, I never played any other games of the series. I just jumped into the game without further knowledge of the other games.
Additionally, my actual playtime is not as long as it is shown, since I sometimes left the game open, while I was not even on the PC.
However, it’s still not a short game.
I’m a bit struggling whatever I would recommend the game or not.
It’s not like I didn’t enjoy the game - though there were some parts I really did not like.
I would’ve probably enjoyed the game a bit more, if I had been younger :)

WitchSpring3 Re:Fine - The Story of Eirudy -
A 6-10 hours game where you play as a nameless witch raised by her grandmother living in a secluded forest, One day you find a cute boar and chase after it to mofu mofu it and the story begins…
Gameplay wise, everything is simplistic. No inventory management; no nonsense, just a game where you can fully engross into the story.
Grandmother’s letter makes me cry so badly. whyyy…
One of the games where I don’t turn off in-game music because it’s that good.
Try out the sequel 1,2,4 on app store probably if you haven’t!

“When the evil rises, and the goodness sinks, it may be impossible to go back. But what you say, but what you do, there is some goodness inside of you."
Have you ever wanted to be the villain in an RPG? Well, Broken Legends is the game for you! Broken Legends is an Adventure RPG where you control a possessed 16-year-old. His name is Malum, and whatever is possessing him is turning him into a villain! Will you stop this force or become it? This choice will yield 2 different endings.

GOOD VS EVIL
Most of Broken Legends is about discovering your evil side and fighting it using your good side. There are three witches in the game: Kindness, Wisdom, and Power. Power was the original witch, though. Will you kill them? Or will you threaten them and end up in prison…?

Because Broken Legends has two different endings, you can save the world from yourself. However, being nice does not come without consequences! The force possessing you is persistent. You might try to escape punishment… even prison.
DESTROY IT ALL.
If you were to let the force possessing you take full control, the world would be in possible danger. But you don’t care. Create the destruction of the entire world, all because of you.
