God I LOVE washitape art.
'You and Me' is a relatively short game, but I find it quite cute. I love the art, the characters are cute, and I was pleasantly surprised by the voice acting!
I adore Hot Pot Panic.
It's fun, I enjoy the mechanics of having to focus on the food AND the conversation - don't let the food burn, don't let your friend realize you're only half-listening.
Honestly? It is that deep bro.
'It's not that deep bro' is pretty short, and it's pretty easy to get all 3 endings - but I found myself enjoying it. Realizing you might be gay for your friend while watching a movie WITH that friend? I've been there. It's ROUUUGH man. And this manages to catch those first hints of realization pretty well.
'What body' is simple and cute - 3 pretty easy endings, made for a 20 second game jam! Fun premise of trying to hide a body - I wish there was more, but I think I'm just greedy and want to see more of the cute pixel art.
Tales of Grumville is cute!
It's got cute assets, the writing made me giggle once or twice - Montgomery, my humble king - and honestly, the story is so solid that I could very well envision it being a kids animated movie.
'How Now, Sea Cow?' is pretty solid for a game made by 2 guys in a week.
The models are cute, it's a pretty simple and sweet premise - but I have a few personal issues. The biggest was gameplay - granted, I was using a controller, but because of this, thr throwing and aiming controlls were a bit janky for me.
That being said - the puzzles were fun! Not my favorite, but they worked well for what they were for. The restart button was helpful - I did end up getting my manatee stuck a few times.
This game is absolute cinema
It immediately hooked me in from the title screen alone - the pixel art, the music, it all works so well together.
It's charming. It's sad. The game is rooted in being queer, and there's themes of queer erasure and a desperate want to be able to enjoy your own life.
Highly recommend. Took less than 20 minutes, and yet it's one of my favorite visual novels so far.
This game hurts.
I am a transgender male, and while I haven't been through these exact situations and scenarios, so many parts of this game hit me to my core. So many parts of this are relatable, in the worst and best ways.
I think for this project it has the perfect writing style and the visuals remind me of how Oyasumi Punpun frames it's main character - not directly a human, but clearly still one.
The description reads this game takes approximately 40 minutes to play start to finish. And it did, but I'm a pretty fast reader - a good portion of my time was spent leaning back in my chair and just staring at my screen, thinking about what I had read and feeling all those feelings grip my heart and shake me violently.
This game isn't for everyone, and it comes with a good list of trigger warnings. But I recommend it. It's genuinely upsetting in some moments, but I still recommend it.
Super cute!!
Loved the gameplay, was a bit tricky at first but it's super fun to play!
Also, at the beggining of the game, you get a nice little slider menu to customise you and your crush, and no matter what I think the characters are both super sweet looking.
This game is super simple - wash a dog. Oh god if only it were this easy in real life.
God, I forgot how good this game is.
I've had these thoughts, these conversations with myself. It's awful. This game encapsulates both sides so well, the want to protect yourself, the fears of the world around you and how your brain perceives everything.
You are both wolf, and human. And it's natural.
This game had my 100% completionist brain coming out.
Has storytelling aspects through it's collectables which are super cute
HRT Simulator makes me excited for HRT.
Granted, this doesn't mean I think it's the best Trans game ever to exist. It's a pretty short visual novel that had me cringing a little at some spots, but it feels a little real for the time, like real online friends, real conversations a slightly younger me would have had with my friends if I were in that situation.
And on that note, I am really hoping I get to take HRT through gel. Needles are scary and I'm a scaredy cat.
My friend and I played this game together. We loved the cute art style, the different storylines, and watching our cute little characters grow up and have their adventures.
It became a little habit of ours to share our finished characters with each other, often in awe of each others character stats or appearances.
I think it's had a heap of updates from when I last played it in late 2022, so I think I'll ask my friend if he wants to play it again with me sometime.
Mushroom Musume, they will never make me hate you <3
I adore playing Neon Knives with my friends - the art style on it's own is super fun, and the gameplay is especially fun when you have a group behind you also trying to figure out who each player is.
Six Cats Under is a charming puzzle game where you play as the ghost of a deceased elderly cat woman, her ghost having stayed in the land of the living to try and find a way to get her cats out of her apartment so they don't starve of die of dehydration.
I really enjoyed myself - I naturally suck at puzzle games, so I had to have my friend help me out, but damn is it a fun game.
This game is so sweet and homey. I never really made forts as a kid, but this game makes me want to gather my friends and make a fort of pillows and blankets with them.
I played this game during my last few weeks of High School, but the art style and character designs still stick with me. They're all so charming and sweet, and I often find myself thinking about replaying it.
Got 17/21 on my first run, I like it, cute, simple.
DUE FOR A REPLAY.
I played this game while I was supposed to be studying for my major HS exams, and honestly, I don't regret it. So what if I ended up getting bad marks on my Biology written exam?
IOAWNFT was super enjoyable, with compelling narratives and a wonderful feeling to boot. I remember my friends and I huddled around my school laptop while I played through, hooked on the story alone.
Some parts felt a little slow at times, but I still recommend it.
DUE FOR A REPLAY
I found Red Trees to be fun - the story didn't immediately hook me in, but I still enjoyed it none the less. The 'twist' was a little predictable, but it's one that still worked well for the narrative. Wish there was a bit more too it as some of the quests got a little boring, but still good.
GODDDDD I LOVE TEMMIE GAMES I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF THIS GAME BARKABRBWEKBEKEBK WOOOFOWOFOFWO
DUE FOR A REPLAY
A very cute puzzle game where you play as a ghost helping your honors grieve with your death. A very sweet game that always tugs on my heartstrings. Not the most complicated of puzzles, but I have fun none the less.
Visual novel about gay cowboys, with a transmasculine MC and enjoyable characters. The story alone had me hooked (Like seriously, can't get enough of gay cowboys), but the art that came along with it had me looking forward to each new scene.
