Cartomante – Fortune Teller

Cartomante – Fortune Teller

A short but fun game set in a fantasy/modern setting where you play a witch who earns her living telling peoples fortunes.

The game has a beautiful art style and does a great job at world building. It has interactive dialog that succeeds at being mysterious, intriguing and often times funny. The game is short but very replayable with various different readings you can get for each person that results in different and often unique outcomes, you can play the same day over and over with different results each time.

This is a really good game. Short, but incredibly charming, an absolute steal for the price.

The dialogue is extremely well written, and it manages to be funny and thought provoking. If you’re like me, you’ll keep replaying it (and reliving the same day a la “Groundhog Day”) until you get the best (or worst) possible ending for all your clients.

Definitely do not sleep on this one!

游戏商店里卖的各种特质感觉都挺有用的,可惜钱不够。

拿了个负面回血的特质,然后靠不断偷钱回血,拖回合来叠毒剑的游侠和迅捷休息加直面本质的盗贼,终于在死了6个人后打过了第一关。

遗憾的是,费了这么大力气,只有左上角简单的第二关三个字,感觉过关缺了点仪式感。

还有到达第二关后,感觉人生特别没有安全感,即将带领一堆老弱病残挑战地狱难度的关卡。能不能给人个选择权,boss战后可以复活一个死亡角色?

PetrifactionUnderRuin

feature

Bishoujo characters change to various materials (freezing, petrification, waxing, golden, tree-making, soaping, etc …)

Erosion expands with each shot and animation slows down (attack avoidance difficulty also increases!)

Human bosses can also end the battle without defeating them by action (the ending branches accordingly)

Japanese anime style model

In order to express the speed of the enemy and ally while being based on RPG, I quote the battle system of a famous indie game

Since the emphasis is on viewing abnormal conditions, the play time will be around 1 hour when checking all routes. Please note.

More details

Root, a rare user of freezing magic, is suddenly kidnapped one day and throws himself into a battle called “consolidation death game”.

However, this game was a mysterious one that could proceed without defeating humans by solving the gimmick.

What kind of ending is waiting for the selection of the character and route that the player controls?

Press the button at the right time to attack!

Avoid enemy attacks like STG!

Be careful as the movement speed will slow down when attacked!

Even if you are not good at STG, you can ease the difficulty by selecting equipment and level!

Various options for abnormal condition production

Expression of erosion during state change (mottled, even, from top to bottom)

Change the expression for each material (4 to 10 types depending on the material)

Soapy foam expression (5 types including none)

Presence or absence of freezing cold air expression

Material when attacked by an enemy whose material is not specified

Death Becomes You - Mystery Visual Novel

Death Becomes You - Mystery Visual Novel

I am currently aiming for a complete playthrough with all endings before I write an extended review for another outlet. It’s an intriguing tale that dances in that moral grey area, at least that’s where I’m at right now.

A very great game! It got me more and more hooked as I progressed through the story.

It’s a murder mystery that focus on the relationship of the characters and you can keep discovering their depths and how different they are. The routes have distinct vibes allowing me to get attached to each character’s personalities while also showing the different sides of Lyra, and how strong her presence is for better of for worse.

It deals with magic in a interesting way, in a dark tone that shows the multiple possibilities and the dangers of magic in thsi world.

Fates of Ort

Fates of Ort

FAQ First:

“Is Fates of Ort a good game?”

Yes, absolutely. It has quests, choices, different endings, an open world, interesting mechanics, and it risks to be different, like any game in the NES/SNES era did.

“Ok, what kind of game is it?”

THIS is the first hard question. It’s hard to say, because it is really something unique, and hence cannot be hard pressed into a single category. It most probably is closest to the RPG genre, but it features so many awesome mechanics, which haven’t really been around that often and it mixes them exceptionally well.

A very unique and compelling game. I can’t say I’ve played anything exactly like this game before. It is a great little non-linear action rpg with some interesting quests and decisions to make. You are thrust right into the heart of the action, and you only have one option and one quest. You must explore, and begin to unwind the tangled web of problems that are plaguing your homeland. Some things are relatively simple, some require a little bit of thinking. The best thing is that all the quests are grounded in the reality of the game. You will use the objects you find, and sometimes you can use certain objects for more than quest, but you must choose. Who can help you more? Who deserves this particular piece of treasure more? Who do I believe, who do I follow, who lives, who dies? So many grand questions and you are generally making decisions from the gut and praying you were right.

Faerie’s Bargain: The Price of Business

Faerie’s Bargain: The Price of Business

Where to begin.

Ultimately, I wish I could give them a meh review, rather then a straight thumbs up or down. I really wanted to love and enjoy this title, being a fan of magic, folklore, fantasy, etc. But in the end, I’ve had more bad then good.

To begin with, the story at times is very dense with unfamiliar terms and strange convoluted choices. Halfway through the first chapter, it was so hard to really understand exactly what was going on and what my choice options would do that I resorted to reading the coding just to get a better idea. But even that became a convoluted mess, as the labeling for choice stats and their effects is so odd that even with the code guiding me, I never really knew what outcome I would get. A seemingly obvious devious decision (even using the term devious in its text) would fail despite my devious stat being higher then my forthright! And a choice you think would obviously boost a stat (like being compassionate), at times instead boosted ambition. Making it really hard to know what the heck result you could expect to get. Couple that with very convoluted writing at times, and by the end of the faerie merchant council, I was so tired of the story that I had to quit just to give my brain a break after realizing the story was STILL going.

Steam forces us to select a positive recommendation or a negative judgement : there is no option to be neutral, hesitant. Consequently, I do not wish to be a nuisance to a developer’s sales by selecting a thumb-down option. This game is an example of a product I am hesitant to recommend, but also, hesitant to reject. I may only give my very personal, subjective feedback – opinions not applicable to all types of players.

I am mostly an emotional role-player, so, to enjoy a game, I must feel immersed into my game persona – as soon as possible.

HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair

HEXCRAFT: Harlequin Fair

Haven’t got very far into it yet. As a fan of Oleander Garden’s other games: The Pagan trilogy, and Hexcraft: Eventide Sigil, I can say with certainty that this is exactly what I expected in the best ways. It feels a bit jank, the graphics are muddy and dated, and it is very frustrating dying with very little warning over and over. It’s part of the experience, however. The game is one big immersive-sim-esque puzzle about working out how to get anything done. Leave your morals at the door, rob some people, and acquire black metal shirts to fight off the horrors lurking in dungeons hidden behind shopping malls and alleyways. It’s a lo-fi game for sure, but the experience is well worth the 13 dollars.

Immersively simulate a nightmare. I instigated a gang war in Chinatown so I could plunder tarot cards from those caught in the crossfire. The victims had recited poetry to me moments before. They knew me by name.

Oleander Garden’s work is consistently haunting, enigmatic, beautiful, infuriating. It’s genuinely fun to bang my head against its walls in an attempt to uncover its secrets. I loved this game.

Given how unfairly obscure it is, you’re lucky enough to have stumbled upon this page, so don’t let the opportunity go to waste. Buy it already.

The Princess, the Stray Cat, and Matters of the Heart

If you play with the restoration patch, I’d surely recommend the game.

The story itself is pretty decent, and it has a good quality, yet, I’ll agree with everyone who’s complaining, the normal version is really bad. I don’t know what they were thinking when they decided to bring such an incomplete game. This isn’t one of those eroge that you can easily play without the H-scenes.

With that said… I’ll give a review because I played it with the restoration patch.

First of all:

-If you decide to buy it, do it when it’s like 50% off, don’t even dare to buy this game at full price

Target Audience: Those needing a smile, or want good characters to connect to

Summary:

While I understand the controversy surrounding the “cut content” dealing with the console versions and the licensed work from Japan, I believe the strength of the game’s core story ends up overcoming that regardless: because it’s a series of characters that are easy to connect to, and touching scenes and moments in the story that end up pushing Stray Cat into a must get in the romantic comedy visual novel pool. Yes, the game may have reasonable line work, alright music, and can be all over the place, but it’s the charm that lifts it to new heights. There’s something down to earth despite some of the super natural elements of the game, and it’s thanks to some EXCELLENT voice acting that the game is able to sell the ridiculous yet emotional elements of the game. I’m going on record that the japanese voice acting is some of the best I’ve heard, especially from Yuuki and Michi. Which by the way, Michi is best girl and no one can tell me otherwise.

I loved the idea, the environment, the characters and so on and that’s why I will recomend it because it shows great promise and I had lots of fun.

However… it does seem very incomplete and in need of a big continuation. Also, it’s buggy. I tried many times to get a good grade in the second semester and succeed in another plot moment and both seemed impossible. Specially the first because the GPA is bugged by the second semester, which made impossible to keep it above 3.5 (important for the game). For now, I’ll only be happy that I managed to save the life of my in-game boyfriend.

我们有魔法,我们有社团,有一份充满神秘打工,有似乎是黑社会的家人,截然不同的同学,这些本来可以是讨人喜欢的元素, 可当他们集中在这个游戏里的时候,每一样都显得有些差强人意。 写作还是可以接受的,但是故事总感觉缺了点什么,可能是因为作者试图加入足够多的东西,反而使得每一样都不那么有趣了。

我必须诚实的说当我玩的时候,我对加入那个秘密社团不感兴趣, 而且整个游戏的内容似乎不是很完整,我不清楚作者是否有计划创作后续内容。嘿亲爱的作者,你也许应该集中注意力在其中某些内容上,而不是每样都来一点。另外我个人觉得故事里的恋爱部分并不吸引我, 试玩的时候我以为MC的室友是个有挑战的RO,可惜实际上并不是。

我不是很喜欢打差评,至少试玩对我来说感觉还不错,所以我会给推荐,但是我本希望我能读到更好的故事的。

以下是自动翻译的英文,因为很抱歉我英语很烂。

The following is the automatic translation of English, because I am sorry for my poor English.

We have magic, we have a club, we have a mysterious job, we have a Mafia family, we have different classmates, all of which could be endearing elements, but when they are concentrated in this game, all of them seem a little less desirable. The writing is acceptable, but the story always feels like something is missing, probably because the writer tries to add too many things that make everything less interesting.
