These stuck with me. ⭐
I played this on an iPod touch (of all things!) on a sleepless night and I am very glad I did. The worldbuilding comes out slowly and naturally, and the whole thing rings of magic and care.
The fee~ls! I love this.
(If you usually play in Mitch like I do: don't use Mitch for visual novels, it can't export Ren'Py save data! Open the game in your browser of choice instead.)
Took me awhile to acclimate to this one, but then it was on. (Searching makes noise and noise attracts da monsta, so don't search randomly. Instead, explore rooms until something looks or sounds suspcious, then investigate that.)
This game is built around information that appears exactly once and cannot be reviewed. It is not kind to distracted or ADHD folks. If you miss text or forget, you're generally best off just starting over.
The stats after a win are a nice touch. Not that I've obsessed over bettering my bests, not me, not at all~
Cozy as anything, cute as frogs, and wholesome enough to share a playthrough with a good kid. Quality time!
If cozy horror is a thing then I guess this is it. It's about caring, even for Cthuloid monsters.
Colorful characters and an absolutely haunting end.
Any chapter of this could be a game unto itself. Instead, we have a twisty, meaty narrative to play through.
I was hooked as soon as I had an opportunity to make a really bad choice, made it, and squealed with joy at my well-earned fate. (Investigating instead of hiding, right at the start.)
Autosaves work like NES Shadowgate, so you can enter a room, carelessly die, and continue from when you entered that room. This is awesome.
I replay this more than is good for me, probably. Game Boy, horror, a color scheme that (in-game) avoids horror's usual red, and that ending - this is the good stuff!
Android phone + Mitch + "play in browser" games = gaming goodness, anytime, anywhere. ❤️
I am not great at remembering to eat, but this cookbook got me better than I was before.
Sometimes I just wanna briefly interact with something, so I roll up a guy and envision any funny incongruities in their summary. More fun than it sounds, I promise.
