No Longer Home
NLH is a game made with a great deal of care by very talented people. There’s a lot to explore in it but that’s really on you, the player, to engage with. I’ve played through it three times now (only once on steam) and every time I discover something different I never noticed before, or find a different path to go down. I do think it trusts the player to want to engage with it and think about it and do the legwork. I think it’s probably easy to rush through and that’s where people get short playtimes but it’s a game worth relaxing into and making the effort to explore,

It’s simple: this is Cultural Marxism disguised as a video game.
For reference, I gave this a chance, and finished the game with several achievements.
Let’s start with the good, because credit is due where credit is due:
-
the moving geometry designs are really well executed.
-
the music and sound effect are spot on. Little details here and there give the game its charm.
-
the game won’t make use of it, but supports ultra wide screen (ie, it will boot and run at 21:9 on a 32:9 screen).
Now for the bad.

No One Can Ever Know
No One Can Ever Know is quite possibly one of the best examples one can point to when making an argument for the merits of video games as an interactive medium. This is not a “fun” game in the traditional sense and neither does that seem to be the intention. No One Can Ever Know is a difficult, sometimes frustrating experience because it wants the player to know what its like to be in the creator’s shoes and by extension what it’s like to suffer from gender dysphoria. This is something only games can do, because while films and text can adequately convey emotions and ideas, they can’t quite put someone in the shoes of another individual in quite the same way a game can and I think for that reason, No One Can Ever Know is a huge success despite being a humble little title.

What’s Your Gender?
This is a lovely, wholesome, informative and short game about gender identity.
The player walks through some kind of museum or art exhibition. As you explore, you come across various terms related to gender identity and expression. From time to time, a pleasant voice will ask questions, like: How do I know what gender I am? Or: What makes me feel euphoric? There is a room, where you can try out different pronouns for youself to experience how you feel when they are used for you.
I recommend playing this game. It’s sweet, fun, wholesome… but also, I recommend forwarding it for educational purposes. I think you can safely recommend it to your friends and family. To people who might have mentioned they’d like to learn more about gender identity.

I’m a genderqueer YouTuber and I highly approve of this game!! This is an amazing first-person experience exploring gender, gender expression, and sexuality. The concepts are really interesting, definitions are clear, and overall the space makes you feel the experience. I played this on my channel, DaintyTank, for Trans Awareness Week as this game is a perfect way to get an introduction to different concepts in gender.
Definitely think it’s worth spending the $2 to support the developers and for you to play this yourself! You can see my playthrough below but this game is much more impactful to play yourself. Love you all and your feelings are valid!

Color Souls
Incredibly amazing game. The movement of the character is a lot of fun and every boss and mechanics in the game are really surprising. The levels that you can jump on the monster’s head in sequence were very well thought out.

A pretty good platformer. I really like this unique aesthetic and gameplay concept where you can’t see the enviroment, so you have to move and jump to splash ink revealing the obstacles and platforms.

Colors!
This could be, no, this IS the stupidest, easiest and dumbest game ever, though since I fell asleep without closing it, l now show playing the stupidest, easiest and dumbest game ever for over 25 hours. I can’t even say that I got it for free. Whoever got paid for making the stupidest . . . . game is a genius, though a dumb one.

Purrgatory
Purrgatory is a visual novel. It’s not just that, but also a fun mix of independent, LGBTQ+ culture that comes together to make an adult-themed, immaturely-mature and charming (dare I say) masterpiece of a game. Purrgatory defies what is conventially a visual novel and forms a universe that makes you fall in love with the characters, feel addicted to the personalities, and most of all, have a hearty chuckle. The lowercase, almost online-chat-esque style each character speaks in is incredibly unique to their personality and is incredibly charming! The puns, the cats, the incredibly-done art (yes, I do mean that), and the simplistically-complex character designs are compelling and loveable. There are even easter eggs! The detail put in is genuinely really excellent. And the rooms are surprisingly easy to navigate, as most of them tend to loop around. The multiple endings are also very rewarding but also leave you satisfied. (I honestly cried when it was over, I didn’t want it to end).

This was a very cute game and sat through it in one sitting while my partners watched me here and there. I loooved the dialog as they felt more typical of actual responses you’d get from your IRL friends. You know the ones who just dunk on you in a tease or just meme it up whenever they can.
Every character has their charms as one would expect in a visual novel but I dunno. They felt a bit more real in personality rather than ham it up to the player like a robot. The music? Very nice, very relaxing background tunes to wander about Purrgatory. Yes, With two R’s~

Speed Dating for Ghosts
As if dating wasn’t scary enough, now there are ghosts!
Speed Dating for Ghosts is a short dating sim developed by Copychaser Games. Essentially you choose from one of three available rooms, each room has three different ghosts for you to chat to and since it’s speed dating. You have a brief conversation with all three ghosts, then there’s a break and you speak to them all again. At the end of the last conversation you can choose which ghost to ask out on a date and depending on how your conversation went you’ll get an extra date scene with them.

Speed Dating for Ghosts is perhaps a little bit different dating sim I’m used to, and I don’t mean it in a bad way. The tone is more existential and less fun, yet hopeful; it is sad but joyful, it makes you laugh but also my eyes got misty on a few occasions. You meet various characters with different pasts and with various outlooks on death, some characters to whom I related more than I would be willing to admit out loud. This game struck me, made me feel many emotions, questioning my own purpose and dealings with life (which I’m already doing quite a lot in my spare time), providing an even deeper level into my playthrough. I like stories, and going through the stories of these beings was a time well spent… on the other hand, what wasn’t a time well spent, was getting “rejected” achievement which was incredibly hard for me, because I am an ass, but not that kind of an ass, especially in video games, so this guide was a godsend. Even with that kind of a playthrough though, you uncovered further glimpses into feelings and mindsets of the ghosts you meet which helped to deepen their characters, and made me even more sympathetic to their fates.

Misericorde: Volume One
The year is 1482.
The age of exploration and enlightenment is on the distant horizon and the Renaissance is in full swing across Europe; but in England, the War of the Roses is in its final throes. Change is coming, but in one little convent in the north of the kingdom, everyone has seemed blissfully unaware.
Everyone except Sister Catherine, a beloved nun and firebrand thinker who has just been murdered. In an isolated monastery with an already mysterious reputation, any one of the Sisters could be the killer—and Mother Superior is as stumped as anyone else. That’s where you come in.
As an Anchoress, you took an oath to never leave your cell; to devote yourself entirely to God and provide spiritual support to all who came to your door. But as the only Sister who couldn’t possibly have committed the crime, you have a new mission: solve the case, before the bishop shutters the convent and the killer goes unpunished.
The Superior hasn’t told everyone why you’ve suddenly joined the regular congregation, but something tells you most of these women know exactly what’s going on. Who can you trust? Who is being honest, and who has their guard up—and why? Is the convent really haunted? Who killed Sister Catherine? And worst of all… are you next?
