Inexplicable Geeks: Dawn of Just Us
A hilarious romp though a con filled with wacky heroes with wacky powers. Fantastic writing and amazing art. I had a blast chatting with each and every character. Definitely worth a few more playthoughs to get the full back story of this crazy cast.

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End
Not looking good, Captain. That holo-influencer you sent Matias to guard has been “upstaged”. Putting a former drag queen before every camera in the verse? Not the best idea. And the anti-sentience rally we sent Aylah to… that’s a riot now. Not saying it’s entirely her fault the audio drones were hacked but, you know. Probably didn’t help.
On top of that Truly and Denny are nowhere to be found. Any chance of keeping a low profile is out the airlock. Now there’s an incoming message from… your ex?
All in all, a quieter day than most.
A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative focused Space Opera that’ll have you flying around the universe assembling an unruly crew from an eclectic cast of characters and taking any job you can to keep one step ahead of your abusive Ex. The twist: you’re not just piloting a ship… you are the ship.
Supplies don’t come for free in the verse, doubly so for outlawed sentient spaceships. Every planet, moon and space station is a valuable source of jobs and their precious rewards. Assign crew tasks based on their skills, and help their decisions along the way. If everything pays off you’ll have what you need to escape, and if not…well, you can call in those favors you’ve been saving.
A Long Journey to an Uncertain End presents a unique vision of the future, a universe of inclusivity and diversity tainted by uncertainty and fear. Build a family within your crew. Every crew member has their own story, every planet its own history, and even your own adventure remains unfinished.
Sentient ships have been outlawed for centuries. With the help of your holo-companion C.O.R.G.I. and your (mostly) loyal crew, you managed to evade capture. Now there’s an entire galaxy between you and freedom.
So…where to next, Captain?
Features:
-
Fly across a unique galaxy, from the dust-bitten badlands of the Rim, to the techno-industrial megacities of the Core…and Beyond.
-
Recruit an eclectic crew from a diverse cast of characters with their own stories and varied skill sets.
-
Explore planets, moons and space stations as you put distance between you and your abusive ex. Match your crew to jobs and decide their actions along the way. If all else fails, you can always rely on a favor or two.
-
Manage your resources to keep your crew happy. Boosting between worlds can take its toll, as can failing at jobs. A happy crew is a productive crew… most of the time.

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.

Rouge Patrol
The war between Rouge and Bleue has gone beyond either nation’s capacity to wage it. First they drafted the men and then boys… women were conscripted in turn. Now, with all spent - and surrender unthinkable - the grinding machine of war has turned to girls.
Fourteen years old, Sergeant P.G. Tails has lost everything to Bleue and will stop at nothing to achieve their destruction. But, as she leads her unit into the unending conflict, she begins to realise that the price of revenge may be paid, not by her, but the girls she has come to love. Worse, she carries a secret that puts her in more danger from her friends than her enemies…
Description
Rouge Patrol tells an epic and heartfelt story about friendship, loss, and a young girl’s conflicting drive to avenge what’s been taken while preserving what remains. You will take on the role of Sergeant P.G. Tails and, through a fusion of visual novel and stat-raiser mechanics, explore a branching and perilous narrative.

CRYPTIC
Great game I’ve been enjoying and replaying ! After playing “Stories Untold” and “Open Sorcery”, I was looking for another game that would allow me to “type in” my way through the story ! It uses all your imagination to find your way, find the clues and avoid the “Game Over” traps. Original and excellent kind of game !

Very intriguing, solid, old-shool IF. This is only my first impression after 1h of gaming but my opinion is at moment very good. If you are a enthusiast of the text adventure genre like me this is a mandatory purchase. Thanks to Shoho Games to keep alive this type of games, I’ll buy all your next games!

Alchemist Simulator
I’m not going to lie, this is a very cute and casual game - some thought goes into preparing the potions and there are goals on a daily basis. Some of which has somewhat of a story, which is a great addition to a management game. I have yet to finish the game, so the price is definitely worth the time you spend in it. For now, my review of this game is a thumbs up - but will edit with further information when I either finish or get to a point in the game that completes all the achievements :)
Currently I have found no bugs, but the game could use with a little more polish, and perhaps a little more gameplay. I’d love to see if this product continues on and, if so, where it might lead.

If possible, I’m not rating this either recommended or not recommended. If I can’t do that, I will give it a No recommendation, but it’s a near thing.
This is almost, but not quite, a really cool game.
Pros:
-
The game is cute, and runs smooth. Graphics all go together/look good.
-
I didn’t see a lot of bugs (I may have seen one, but it could have been user error on my part).
-
It didn’t take a lot of time to understand how the game worked, and the tutorial gave you just about everything you needed to know to get going and figure the rest out yourself.
