  • In Blood Demo-1.009-pc

I love the overall aesthetic of this VN.  The artwork is very unique and beautiful, as is the character and UI design.  And all the voice actors did a phenomenal job.  However, the writing is very basic, and the plot is... somewhat interesting.  I'm slightly intrigued, but didn't really feel a gripping sense of "I'm dying to know what happens next" once I finished the demo.  But my main gripe with this VN is the protag.  She's very reminiscent of heroines from erotic romance novels (especially alien abduction stories) where they're supposedly adults, yet they think, act, and speak like silly, immature teenagers.  And there were quite a few moments in this VN where the protag's internal thoughts and dialogue felt very flippant, snarky, and unrealistic... which was quite jarring, especially considering the dangerous nature of the situation she's in.  Ugh... I dunno.  Although I've given it a middling rating, it's still on my "tentative" radar.  If we get an updated/extended demo closer to release, I'll give it another go at that time and then make a final decision whether to buy or pass on it.

Dark fantasy romance, lots of dialog choices.

Gorgeous artwork, really intriguing, well-written story, and interesting characters!  (I especially loved the Protag and Sebastian!).  My only nitpicks are that I wish there were more choices, and more romance options... fingers crossed that Sebastian's route unlocks with the Kickstarter!  I'm backing this one, and very excited for the full release!  :D

A cyberpunk and solarpunk adventure-romance that explores a world where one side is forever day and the other, night.

Holy wow... this game looks amazing!  Gorgeous artwork, well-written story with fantastic worldbuilding (I LOVE the genre/setting!), and intriguing characters.  After reaching the end of the Demo (and cursing loudly!), I immediately went back to the beginning to select different choices, and I was really surprised by how significant those choices actually are, and how much they change the story.  Ugh... it's probably going to be a long time before this one is released, but when it is, I think it'll be fantastic.  I'll definitely be backing this one on Kickstarter...
