itch.io

A small yet charming comic about a person who feels hopeless about their irl romance, so they literally started escaping to fiction to cope lol. 

This is SO GOOD!! I saw this on twitter and immediately bought it right after reading the preview because I was so invested. I fell in love with everything in this comic, from the art to the writing (also Wujin and Arman, like damn???). The author's note and message at the end resonated with me. The whole thing was just so sweet and wholesome!

A cute VN where nothing bad happened at all! You just kidnapped your favorite streamer and locked her up in a room, you know, the usual everyday routine!

This was a delight through and through! The writing was very compelling and don't get me started on the art! It amazed me that the dev drew so many with such high quality in a short span of time! The music was also very catchy and cute. Honestly I just absolutely adore everything about this game!

A BLVN about these two best bros being best bros until one of them suddenly changed.

I am so locked in for this, you have no idea. I absolutely LOVE the character dynamic between Yoyo and Nathaniel (I am so weak for upbeat characters like Yoyo). The plot is also incredibly interesting and I find myself wanting to know more of what happened. The writing is very gripping and I find myself really hooked to the story. And the art direction is just ethereal!!! The voice acting is also really good and very fitting for each character (especially the main duo)! Everyone working on this did amazing!

I really really love this!! I'm definitely looking forward to act 2 for sure!

A demo about this guy who can see ghosts and was transferred to a school filled with one... and then he met one particularly hot ghost...

This was such a delight to play! The story is interesting, the art is top notch, and everything else was so polished and well done! The QTE mini game is also a nice addition (even though I am BAD at it). I'm already so curious to know where this story is headed, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this project!

A VN about a girl whose former-friend was eaten by a monster-shapeshifter. The girl became endeared by the monster wearing her friend's face and yuri happened.

As soon as I saw the GORGEOUS art for this game, I knew I had to check it out! The amount of CGs in this is crazy, and all of it are so SO well done (shout out to the creepy Jacques CGs and sprites, thanks for scaring me at 1 in the morning). The story is also very engaging and educational! I love that you can hover on the bolded text for more information, and it definitely helped me understand the setting a lot better! 

I'm also just in love with the characters, the main girls in particular. Despite the demo being somewhat short, I'm already so invested in them and so curious to see where the story goes from here. The voice acting was unexpected, but a welcome addition nonetheless! The music choices also compliments the style of the game and enhanced the vibes well! 

Very excited for the full release of the game!

A VN about a guy finding a mysterious ring in a temple. Things started going wrong after that.

I absolutely adore the art and the character interaction in this game! The art is extremely cute but can definitely be scary when it needs to be.  The designs and personalities for the characters are so good too! Each character has very distinct personalities, but they still mesh so well as a group.  I really love Ritsu, whenever something bad happened to him I felt threatened too, the scares in the game got me so tense 😭😭 I'm really looking forward to the development of this project!!

A small VN about a girl who just wants to confess to her crush... but then bad things happened.

REALLY GOOD. Everything from the art to writing, from start to finish was perfect for me! I was hooked from the moment the game started. I finished it so fast because I was excited to see where this story was going and how it would end! I really love the characters (except for one. I HATED their guts but they're still very wonderfully written and creepy in a realistic way). And don't get me started on the art, I really ADORED every single CGs, BGs, and character sprites. The style is so cute, yet somewhat unsettling and it fits the game well. 

A small VN about a person who wants to confess to Love (yes the main love interest's name is Love, very clever). But Love is always surrounded by potential love rivals and you don't want that! So let's eliminate them!

A fun, charming game! The characters really stood out and I really enjoyed interacting with them (Captain and Nerd can take my heart and run with it yessirrrr)! The GUI is cute, the art is wonderful, the sound design is good, and the writing is fun!! All in all this game is such a joy to read!

A short VN about doing community service with two charming boys.

I found this game by chance and I LOVED every second of it! The graphics and the UI are really unique and pretty! The moving background and the sprites really made the game feel more alive! I also find the interactions between the players, Kaito, and Jun really fun. Each characters are so likable in their own way. The story can be unpredictable (if you're not paying attention like me), however, it's definitely solvable if you pay attention. I really love this game and am super excited to see what this dev makes next!

This story also has some disturbing elements in it (there's warning in the game page). Please read it before playing.

A short VN about taking pictures of an abandoned house for sell accompanied by a mysterious boy from the area.

The art is genuinely so, so beautiful. Along with the wholesome storyline and the songs chosen, it created a really nice, warm, and comfortable playthrough for a few minutes. The information given in this VN about traditional Japanese houses in general are very insightful too! The creator really did their research and I really respect them for that! All in all, very quick yet very sweet VN!

A dark academia solo TTRPG set in a mysterious and messed up magic school

This was truly an experience. The rules are easy to understand, quick to get into, and the prompts can get pretty dark at some point which was what I've been looking for. If you don't happen to have a tarot deck, you can easily substitute it with normal playing cards and online dice/number picker. At first, I was on the fence whether to get this or not due to its price (it's pretty expensive for our currency), but it's worth it imo!

My character really went from chill asf to a traumatized murderer/torturer in the span of 4 years, it's so crazy LMAO

I love this danganronpa fangame, they put so much effort and passion into it and it REALLY shows! Each character are really interesting and it feels refreshing. The first chapter alone already captivated me and made me want to learn more about everything that's going on.

Will definitely keep an eye on the development of this game! I wish nothing but the best for the development team!

I mean, it's Dead Plate, do I need to say anything LMAOO

The visuals are absolutely GORGEOUS! I really like the vibe of everything while playing the game. The gameplay itself- while can sometimes be a biiit wonky, it's still really fun to play through! The storyline is predictable but not predictable at the same time? I'm still left with a bit of questions about a certain character's motives, but that could just be my dumb ass talking LOL

Overall a really fun game with a really unique style! I absolutely love it. Definitely deserved its popularity and I'll absolutely be looking forward to playing this studio's works in the future!

I started this completely blind and I did not regret it. It has a beautiful story full of twists and compelling characters! I find myself really relating to one of the characters and it hits so hard when I go through their route. I really LOVE the art too, everything is drawn really well imo! The story delve into some dark themes and please be wary of that. I'd recommend getting this on steam instead of itch.io though, as the completed version is there.

Kenkou Land's works are bangers, go play this and Mamiya please and thank you.

This work in particular, true to Kenkou Land's usual writing style, is chock-full of twists and turns. There are some parts of this VN that I find a little "ehh" but otherwise, it didn't really ruin the overall experience for me. This story also delves into some dark themes (suicide, abuse, SA on a minor (written not in a romaticized way)), so please be careful when playing.

I would like to thank Machina X Flayon the vtuber first and foremost for introducing me to ZENO and Marutoku Base's works because they're wonderful LOL

ZENO is a really fun story and game. The fact that I heard this game only recently is a crime in itself. The story is full of twists that you can definitely catch if you're paying attention and if you're thinking while playing it (don't be like me who played this while head empty). The amount of endings and routes are crazy and super interesting.

Please be aware that this game has a lot of violence (you can turn off the blood if you want) and has depictions of suicide and abuse.

SHTDN is basically a walking simulator (in a good way!) with fun character dynamic between the MCs and an extremely beautiful graphics to accompany it. There's a sense of melancholy as you (playing as a anti-virus) go through the pictures and files in someone's abandoned computer. I'm honestly such a sucker for post-apocalyptic worlds where the characters have to deal with the loneliness and the feeling of they're the only ones left in the world, and this game nails that so SO well.

TROT is a really beautiful VN, both story-wise and graphic-wise! It's crazy to think that one person- Cherish, is doing most of the work, and she's really hardworking and passionate about the game too! I'm really interested in the way this game handles both its time travel aspect and its romance. I really love the characters and their dynamic really interesting and fun to read through. Everyone is so equally likeable and also mysterious in their own ways, it makes you want to learn more about each of them. And please, the art is so pretty! I keep stopping to stare at the art!

That cliffhanger at the end of Act 1 is a crime, PLEASE

This demo has a lot of potential and is very fun to play! I like card games in the first place so I find the minigames enjoyable. The animations are sometimes really satisfying to watch too. The story itself is intriguing, I'm overall very curious to see where this project goes!

This story also delves into some dark themes (abuse, SA), so please be careful when playing.

One of the best solo TTRPGs I've experienced yet! The rules are not too simple and not too complicated, there are so many prompts to land on, and don't even get me started on the graphic design. This solo TTRPG won so many awards and it's very understandable why.

If you're new to solo TTRPGs, I recommend starting with this one (you can grab one of the many, MANY community copies in the game page if you cannot afford to pay for it), but only if you don't mind delving into darker themes.

Koriko is also one of the best solo TTRPGs I've played! It's super comforting and wholesome, even though the witch I play as had the worst luck ever (when he did suceed, I became as happy as he was!). The rules confused me a few times, but nothing too game-ruining, I just need to be able to comprehend what I read better LOL. 

If you have a deck of tarot card, I recommend playing this!

There's a lot of love and soul poured into this small VN and it shows! I found this VN by chance through the dev's site (which is really well made, I enjoyed my time there. You can visit it by going to the dev's profile page and clicking the link there) and decided to play it. I was left feeling warm and happy when I finished it. I really relate to a character's turmoil in this VN, so it feels especially satisfying to see her reach her happy ending at the end. The vibe of this VN is also so immaculate and unique. If you have a few minutes to spare, you can check this out!

I am extremely excited to see where this demo goes! The demo alone is already so wonderful and well written. It doesn't feel any need to rush into the bloody scenes immediately and eases you in, only to throw you off when something... off did happen. Liev CAN be pretty creepy, but I still like him and his characterization a lot, I believe we can fix him if we try hard enough! I also like the art here a lot. All the best to the dev!

Found the game by chance and thought the cover art looks super pretty so I decided to check it out. It's a small yet fun VN! Finally, a protag that can be normal and can avoid the horrors if they just act normal! I also didn't expect to see THAT  in the basement, so I was very pleasantly surprpised to find out that it was THAT. If you have  a few minutes to spare, please check this wonderfully grotesque game out!

Lynis (the dev) tends to make shitpost games, but goddamn they are SUCH fun shitpost games! I really like Too Impatient a lot. From the well-drawn art to its wacky storyline that doesn't take itself too seriously. The twist at the end too, like HUH??? It's overall very absurd, silly, and so much fun. Please play this well-made shitpost if you have a few minutes to spare!

Nothing Special turns out to be pretty special in my book! It's so creepy and some scenes here really managed to make me go "eugh" and made my skin crawl. Pempille really did well to maintain that creepy atmosphere all towards the end of the game. The MC is also really enjoyable and smart. I just wish that one character that showed up near the end got more screen time though.

I noticed Ekkoberry's art from vocaloid stuff and to think that they're making VNs as well. They're so talented honestly! Just Kiss Him Already is a wholesome short VN where you play as... a third wheel LOL. You basically watch as these two MCs get closer. One of the two can even confide in you and ask for your advice for love and stuff, it's just super cute. You know what else is cute? The art and the graphics! Gosh they're SO well made!! If you want to play something cute and sweet, give this a go!

I randomly found this lovely little gem and I loved it! Playing through this game didn't feel like playing a game, but it felt like you're in a painting and directly seeing the world through your own eyes. Everything in this game is really beautiful and well made! The MC is really loveable too, god bless Karl.

Very cute, very pretty! Cute girls! Cute maids! Nothing is definitely wrong here, oh not at all! Just an adorable, wholesome game about maids cleaning up houses and doing very legal things!

Domestic Dread is a really creepy (in a good way!) and well made demo! It's really good at maintaining an intense atmosphere, and this is largely thanks to the art and the BGM! The mystery presented in the demo alone is already intriguing enough to make you want to know more. I really was hooked from start to finish when playing the demo, and I can't wait to see how this project will go from here! All the best to the devs!
