Otaku Club
I’ve found my new niche game type. Puzzle games. This one isn’t my first. But I find this one definitely takes longer to solve. I have been playing it at EPIC difficulty. The combination of base colour Pink for background and nice artwork makes a relaxing experience.
I would recommend this if you like puzzle games. Buy it you won’t regret it.

Otaku Club is a “template flip”, that is to say, it’s a “game” that has been produced by copying a game template and changing a few things. In this case it was a game construction kit/template for doing a simple jigsaw puzzle with less than a handful of low res images of Manga art girls. The “developer”, Rosa Special Studio, has done this over a dozen times now:
-
Sweet Halloween
-
My Sweet Ants
-
Mystical Lights

Gal*Gun Returns
The very first time I played this game, I still had a girlfriend. We were in a great spot back then. This is probably the only semi-lewd game I showed her. She thought it was funny and cute. Truth be told, I have fond memories of the opening song, as one of the very first times I made love to a real woman was during a non-so-well-thought-out playthrough. Those were carefree days of lazyness and lack of responsibility. Lovable moments of total void, filled with the simple joys of life. Time went by slowly, youth was in full bloom. What a great time to be alive and experience this little gem.

TL;DR Summary: 100% hard recommend. Fun, cute/sexy, and appropriately challenging. However, if you’re new to the Gal*Gun series, I recommend trying out Gal*Gun: Double Peace as your first game. If you already enjoyed Double Peace, I definitely recommend this prequel.
I’m going to write this review from my personal perspective of a GalGun addict who has 100% completed not only this game, but all of the others available here on Steam (Double Peace, 2, and VR), and pre-ordered the special edition without even thinking about it. Specifically, I will be comparing to Double Peace, for two reasons - first, both this game and Double Peace are true rail shooters, with very similar forced camera movement gameplay, whereas 2 and VR are stationary wave shooters where you have some control over the camera and when you proceed down the track. Perhaps more importantly though, the other reason is that I think Double Peace, as a sequel to the original console release of GalGun (which came out 10 years ago, and of which this game is a remaster), is a more interesting and robust game. So if you haven’t already played Double Peace, I suggest you start with it. Don’t get me wrong, Gal*Gun Returns is a great game on its own, and I definitely recommend it even to a new player, but Double Peace has more features and is currently cheaper, or essentially the same price for the Deluxe Edition add-on for all the costumes (which is totally worth the extra cost, BTW). So I’m going to assume you’ve played Double Peace, and base the rest of the review on how Returns differs.

Order Road
it’s quite a trip, definitely not for everyone.
I would like the chapters to be better integrated together. Now each chapter feels like it’s own game where you have to do too much of the same thing. Mixing them together in a somewhat coherent story could keep me much more engaged.
Also please add voice acting. That’s what made Kotel special IMO

While I think Kotel ne Gori is a masterpiece, this game is still relatively fantastic and novel. Derevotyan creates some of the most unique FPS games I have ever played and they have been consistently fun. It will be great to continue watching the games and direction evolve.

35MM
“All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” ― Susan Sontag
35MM is a story rich walking simulator in the guise of a survival horror - yet there isn’t much horrific about it. It’s a short unity game - bear with me, please - and the only game developed by Sergey Noskov so far. As all indie horror games, it has its downsides, but I’d say that the game is praiseworthy for quite a lot of things.

35mm references the camera that you have at your disposal throughout the whole fairly dictated journey in this walking simulator/foreign film type of game which emphasis is mainly placed about a viral epidemic which has swept through the mother land and its overall effects. If your thinking that its your typical Zombie game, then you would be wrong as the virus eventually kills them, it does not keep them alive. If your thinking this is an open world game, then again you would be wrong as the levels only gives you that illusion, but travel in any direction for about 10-20 seconds you are bound to hit an invisible wall.

Fading Hearts
Before Fading Hearts i’ve played TONS of Visual Novels and Dating Sims. I knew nothing about Fading Hearts before I decided to pick it up not knowing what to expect. From the main store page it seemed interesting enough for the $10 I paid for it. I have to say, I was quite dissapointed to be frank.
First I’m going to go over what I liked about the game. The gameplay was really interesting and fun, definitely felt more closer towards a Dating sim. You get stats you can raise by doing various activities throughout the day and the stats (usually) have some effect on the game, such as how much money you get and beating certain monsters in the forest. There is a combat system, though not very in-depth, was entertaining for the first few times. And the game strongly encourages and is ment to be played with multiple playthroughs for all the endings, even including some cute dialouge at the end of each playthrough that provide hints on what to do on your next one.

This is a spoiler-free review.
This is a type of game that seems to have people that either really like it or just straight-up hate it. There’s also a lot of curious people that want to know if the game is worth getting, so rather than just tell you “Oh yeah, I like this!” I’m going to list all of the various things a person may like or dislike about the game.
First of all, this is NOT a visual novel. This is a simulation game mixed with RPG elements. A visual novel is a game in which you only point and click to get story to continue. This is NOT that kind of game. It becomes a simulation game when there are stats to alter and daily choices to be made. It infuriates me that so many people called this a visual novel, when it’s obviously a simulation game. Since you can go into a turn-based battle with HP & MP, level up, use a sword or magic, that’s the part that’s RPG-like. Although, I definitely wouldn’t call this an RPG, since the battling is definitely not the focus of the game. In fact, you don’t have to step foot in a battle if you don’t want to. You can progress the story without participating in battle.

Seed of the Dead: Sweet Home
edited: ver. 1.41R adult patch , played 30 hrs (or more, re-run sometimes) , collected everything (thanks guide), played with lower down some graphic performance to squeeze out some extra FPS…using 3070 RTX
PRO:
1- for the price i paid, the content + level consider is rich.
2- H scene is okay-ish good, varied scene like bathroom, toilet and other places
2a- Inner Voice mechanic is GOOD voice acting!! too bad got some little bug need to iron out or else it will freeze the looping animation sometimes.

Edit: REMEBER TO DOWNLOAD THE R18 PATCH TO GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE!
If you saw my review for the 1st game, i asked for more replay value… This is it.
This game has soo many stuff to unlock and i can’t wait for future updates if they add any new content!
Now let me explain in detail what i mean:
So i already played the demo before launch so i was already impressed for what they added, but now when this launched, i kept getting amazed on the new stuff there is! It has soo much XXX scenes i couldn’t even count. (Compared to the 1st game) You do have galleries but is unlocked after upgrading the hometown, only thing missing for now is a “Zombies/Monster attack animation” gallery, but you got cutscenes and death scenes available.

times infinity
i have not finished the game 100% yet but i wanted to at least get through a good portion of it
before i could write my thoughts, and it’s interesting to say the least! there’s a lot going on here. part visual novel. part shooter. part platformer. with some time management in there. i found the story a little bit hard to follow at times but i enjoyed the characters. and the ending definitely left me with a lot of questions. i found the segments with actual gameplay a bit difficult at times, mostly because of controls. but i appreciate what it was going for, especially the shooter portions. the art, which some may not like, was nice to me. the music is also pretty good, particularly the title screen theme. it’s a bit short, but it’s nice! i recommend it if you’re looking for something unique that also happens to be short, but sweet.

This game is one I’ve been excited to see release since I first heard about it. I’ve been involved in testing it before release and I’ve read the whole thing maybe 20-30 times. That being said, I’ll gladly read it again now that it’s out. Times Infinity is perfect in writing, art direction, and gameplay. I sincerely believe this is one of the greatest visual novels if not one of the greatest games ever made. The dialogue is charming and feels more real then some conversations I actually have. The art is all very unique and unlike anything I’ve seen before. The gameplay segments are all fun, and are the perfect change of pace when paired with the visual novel parts. I cannot articulate well how much I love love love this game. uwilmod and everyone else involved have made a masterpiece. I cannot stress this enough, if you like videogames or visual novels or art or fun things you need to play this game NOW

蒼の彼方のフォーリズム
Disclaimer: Everything is based on my opinion. I am not a hardcore VN reader, but I have read around ~20 VN titles. This review contains some minor spoiler hidden behind spoiler tags.
Also, did some translation criticisms. TL;DR at bottom.
Story length: 20-40 hours for all routes (Still depends on how fast you read, but this is a good estimate)
I’ll start with the most important statement of the experience: Aokana is good.

New England Detective: Breakfast in Boston
This is a nice experience. The story, characters, dialogue, it’s all very smart, more than you could expect at first glance, I really encourage everyone to give this a try. No details are overlooked, when new developments happen in the story they take the time to address them and ponder their significance, A smart game.

If you don’t pay too much and don’t expect too much it is a close decision. This is a 5 out of 10 so a tie goes to the runner like in baseball. Too many stereotypes and too little plot. The author does create interest at some points but then it sort of is wasted. One reviewer online trashed it for being unrealistic as he knew something about real police work. I also know something about “real” police work and the thing that struck me as wrong was that the police did not treat him as an enemy. I have hired a number of private investigators and the only ones that the police tolerated were retired police (from that department) that took up private investigation work. But this is not a documentary and we should allow some artistic license to the author. There is no romance or love in this just a tiny bit of sex. This is not a real mystery just a read along and see what happens. You get to make a FEW choices like whether or not to eat peanuts at the bar. Seriously!
