Growing up is hard. But in this visual novel, you have a constant somebody to spend your summers with. This is a fantastic game with a fantastic deurotagonist in Cove Holden, who you are not forced to romance if you'd rather be friends. Playing this game feels like taking a trip back to a nostalgic place and a simpler time, and I adore it.
The game hasn't been finished yet, but the demo has a lot of promise. The story and characters are engaging, and the protagonist customization is very in-depth.
A Twine game that takes place as the protagonist explores her deceased grandmother's house. Filled with magically beautiful writing and supplemented by immersive sound design and UI, "Soft Earth" is a must-play.
Like PaRappa and Um Jammer Lammy, but with an explorable overworld, more polished and updated rhythm mechanics, and custom sprites for every song, "Scratchin' Melodii" is a fantastic rhythm game that feels like a tribute to its predecessors while still being an original, fun experience that will have players charmed by its "sweet sweet magic"!
"Just Cosplay" is a short interactive text fiction that perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of the early 2000s while also being a queer coming-of-age story. This manages to create an experience that is both familiar and new at the same time, inviting the reader to come into a sanctuary of self-discovery free from judgement or prejudice.
In which mice put on a riveting performance of "Sleigh Ride", this is adorably silly and a joy to watch.
Can't go wrong with a good Wordle game! And this one is pretty fun, having you juggle two puzzles at once. :)
An adorably sweet kidcore-esque point and click, "Rainy Day with Teddy" is like a warm hug for the soul.
I can't spoil it. Just go play it.
A satire on online surveys, complete with great voice acting, "A Simple Survey" is a humorous game with a deceiving title.
A fairly short puzzle game about an old lady's ghost helping her cats escape to freedom, "Six Cats Under" is inventive and clever, giving its concept a cheerful light rather than being morose.
"Morning Post" has no objective other than to throw an endless supply of letters at everything you see. The adorably quirky yard and house have plenty of surprises to find, and the whole game radiates positivity and fun.
Make the cat tap dance to fun, happy music. It's really fun! :)
A short visual novel with cute cats waiting for... something. A super wholesome experience, that also happens to have two sequels.
Something about home is so special. This game encapsulates that bittersweet feeling beautifully.
What a sequel! Posey Picks is proving to be an incredible series.
What is there to say? This game is a masterpiece-- absolutely hilarious!
Boop snoot.
This is a short game, but one of my favorites. It always brings a smile to my face when the beetle comes back home!
Wholesome, adorable, and heartwarming.
A classic. 'Nuff said.
Find-the-object combined with music composition is such a unique concept, and this game goes all-out with that concept.
You would think a game with only "yes" or "no" options would get boring quickly. This game does not.
A brief game about getting ready for the day! Super cute.
A tender story about seeing the joy in everything. I adore this experience and the comfort it brought me through my anxiety and depression.
