An appealing Pixel-Art visual novel complemented by a unique tarot card reading in which you can customize your own decks with special skills to read into each of the guests' history and future. Ultimately shifting their fortunes in opposite paths. Unfortunately, because of the improper topics, it's a really difficult game to swallow.

If you are reading this… Hi! I’m Sarah from Toge Productions. First joined as Community Manager, and now I’m the Head of Marketing (Woohoo!) for the studio! If you’ve never heard of Toge Productions before, we are an indie game development and publishing studio based (mainly) in Indonesia, focusing on premium PC and console games. So yes, we make our own game and we also publish games made by talented people from the region. Toge Productions has been around for over 14 years already.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of cozy games. Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is a sweet, slow-paced game that never feels stressful. It has plenty of coffee brewing, but the game’s main focus is on heart-to-heart conversations. There are some returning faces from the first Coffee Talk, but you don’t have to play the original to enjoy the sequel. It’s a game anyone can enjoy, whether they’re an experienced barista or a novice coffee brewer.

The previous caretaker of the Hush Mansion is no more and locked away from the world. It is up to you, as the last librarian, to unlock, categorize, and reveal it's secrets to the world. Work, read, and enlist the cooperation of residents and visitors to help you perform a better job while directing passers-by to the books of their desires.

I have always been curious about the concept of life after death and having a game like this really fuels your imagination of what it is like to be in purgatory. Well, who isn't? Alongside that, the game has so many puzzles that you need to solve to progress to the game, which makes it much more addictive to play. For a small price, it definitely lived up to its price, and I can't wait to play it during my past time.

The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood (Reviewed) Developer: Deconstructeam Publisher: Devolver Digital Released: Aug 16th, 2023 Price: $16 USD The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a deck-building interactive novel in which you play in the shoes of Fortuna, a witch exiled because of her power to influence the destiny of everyone she reads their Tarot fortune to, due to the fear of her leader. The game looks great on the surface, but as you advance through and pay more attention to the dialog, it becomes less so. It becomes... excessively questionable.

The graphics are a bit eerie for me, but I can't get enough of so many puzzles to solve that it makes me play it even further. 😲 I am intrigued by the storyline of Astrid as she progresses and discovers her identity as to who she is, and how she ended up in the middle world. Honestly, for a small price in the Play Store, I think this game is really great, and I would definitely love to see this through.

SHOULD I PLAY METHODS: DETECTIVE COMPETITION? Play it if you like mystery games with a sense of humor. In Methods: Detective Competition, one hundred detectives face off against one hundred master criminals. As you might expect, this plot requires a huge cast of characters, and I’ve enjoyed getting to know all of them. It’s more like a visual novel than an investigation game, but it’s still given me plenty of chances to test out my sleuthing skills.

I've always been an huge fan of detective games. AI Somnium Files, Dangonronpa, and many others come to mind, so I was enthusiastic to try to solve challenging puzzles and mysteries, but to my disappointment, I found that it was largely a decently done Visual Novel with extremely simple solutions to each crime.

Game: Yohane the Parhelion - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE Platform: PC, PS5, SWITCH Genre: Deck-builder, JRPG, Roguelike Overview My first impression of Yohane the Parhelion - NUMAZU in the MIRAGE is a very unusual take on the typical deck-builders that I have played over the course of the last few years. In essence, it is a combination of a well-written piece of anime & visually stellar artwork set in a universe that is bright and vibrant in so many ways!

Book of Hours (Reviewed) Developer: Weather Factory Publisher: Weather Factory Released: Aug 17th, 2023 Price: $30 USD Book of hours is a very unique and weird take on time management cult simulation. It's not quite a card game, and it's not quite a story game. Yet you feel obligated to keep pushing for that "one more try" before the hours change to multiple digits and the days fly by, regardless of whether or not any genuine progress has been made.

Sure, while I am not the target demographic for this game or the genre, I can appreciate how well it is done visually in many respects, whether it be the music, the visuals, or simply the personality and voice acting of each of the key characters. If you are a young woman who simply wants to be admired by gorgeous men in a fantastic Otome, look no further than this!

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it, especially if you’re a fan of Danganronpa or the Ace Attorney games. Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is a near-perfect combination of old-school mystery solving and fantasy storytelling. You play as Yuma Kokohead, a detective who’s lost his memory after striking a deal with a mischievous spirit named Shinigami. Thanks to his spirit pact, Yuma can transform unsolved mysteries into labyrinths that will guide him towards the truth of any case. This unique approach to mystery-solving makes every investigation feel fresh and dynamic. Whether I was solving puzzles, talking to witnesses, or searching for clues, I felt invested in each case I tried to crack. A lot of games have tried to imitate

I've never played the first Obey Me! game, I am not really the target audience for this game. But I thought I'd give Obey Me! Nightbringer a try since I read that there is a rhythm game mixed into the game as well. And well... yeah this is an interesting and very jam packed game indeed. Gameplay wise this game has you play as a female protaganist that gets magically sent to the Devildom, and you meet some handsome demons who all seem to have an interest in you.

"Catsoup" is an intriguing indie game that captivates players with its distinctive style and enigmatic narrative. The minimalist graphics, characterized by abstract and surreal visuals, contribute to the game's dreamlike atmosphere. The narrative, conveyed without traditional dialogue, invites players to interpret the story, adding a layer of mystery to the experience. Pros: 1. **Artistic Expression:** The game's unique art style sets it apart, using minimalistic visuals to convey a profound and imaginative world.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it if you’re a fan of visual novels or cooking games, or just want to see some amazing-looking food. Venba is a game about food, but it puts just as much care into its narrative as it does into its dishes. It follows Venba and Paavalan, an immigrant couple struggling to adjust to life in Canada. Venba uses her mother’s old recipe book as a way to stay connected to her culture. Later on, as their family expands,

I tried out Obey Me! Nightbringer since it's got a rhythm game mixed into it's visual novel gameplay and this game is pretty good for the most part. Though the rhythm game section does resemble another very popular waifu rhythm game... Subscribe to my YouTube Channel:

SHOULD I PLAY MATCHMAKER AGENCY? Play it if you like management games with an emphasis on story. In Matchmaker Agency, you take over your grandparent’s matchmaking service. Helping people find true love isn’t always easy, but thankfully, you have a talking cat familiar to guide you through the process. The story is charming, and the mechanics are a fun twist on more traditional management games. There were times when I wish it gave me a little more to do, but overall, I really enjoyed the story and gameplay.

Sometimes a great location is all it takes to make a game really shine. Pitstop in Purgatory is the perfect example of that, presenting players with a compellingly weird version of the afterlife that's full of mystery and intrigue. I took on the role of Astrid, a young woman who dies at the beginning of the game. Death is just the beginning, though, as she wakes up in a strange place—neither heaven nor hell, but somewhere in between—and must figure out how to keep going forward.
