I'm glad you could find so much positivity in the game, it was really heartwarming.

You can listen to the soundtrack over here:

I kneel.

Really charming game! The setting of being stuck at home with a cartoon girl who doesn't follow the laws of physics or... well, any sort of laws really is fun!

The character designs are neat and I'm really fond of how they move around the screen or go from one pose to the next in time with dialogue. The lil' gag screens between each scene are also adorable, and I was delighted to see them change as the story went on.

Hildred is such an interesting character. An inhuman creature not bound by common sense who seems to always act on a win truly can be quite terrifying at times, even worse when that's your only source of comfort and company.

I had a good time!

It's a very unique and charming experience!

You might feel a bit lost at the start as you get used to the unique narration, lack of personal pronouns and the colorful art, but once you're tuned in to the game's wavelength, it's a joy to go through it.

First impressions might lead you to believe it's going to be a gloomy, philosophical tale about what it means to be free, but even when the story does get dark and asks you to engage with more serious topics, there's some absurd line of dialogue waiting right around the corner to catch you off guard. It's the moment you realize that you're actually playing a dark comedy that it clicks.

The art might seem crude, but I wouldn't have it any other way. These characters live in an ugly world, and the visuals are there to help reinforce that.

Garbage Dolls is a game that is proud to be WEIRD, and if you learn to be weird with it, you'll have a good time.

I enjoyed it! If you're the sort of person who's ever had to deal with internet-related anxiety and kept rotting away in bed because of Discord or Twitter issues, it can hit a bit close. The way the protagonist deals with those feelings is relatable, constantly checking on things to get the latest update on the drama about her, yet never doing anything to actually move on and get better.

Presentation is good! The text gets cut off and stays hidden in the corner of the screen at times, but the visuals and especially the droning and oppressive songs really sell this image of someone who feels like they're stuck in their own hell.

I like the tug at the topic of AI and how people can lose themselves when roleplaying with a chatbot since it can be such an addicting thing, although I do admit both twists are a bit limp.

The first is fine, and I like that, even when faced with the truth, my girl just keeps going because it's THAT easy to let go and keep indulging in something that won't do you any good.

Bit more iffy on the second twist, though. Kinda takes away some impact from the ending.

Still, there was a clear desire to write a very specific type of story, and despite some hiccups here and there, I'd still say that it nails it!

A wonderfully atmospheric experience. Despite the clear Analogue/Hate Plus inspiration, it still manages to put its own spin on the formula, with the story being delivered in a much more linear fashion, but still leaving enough for you to sit on and ponder about it.

The visuals are simple, yet effective. The soundtrack? Fits so well that you'll only notice how much of a difference it made when the game goes silent on you.

Hell, it's even got voice acting, and when the game asks you to sit there and listen to the rants and rambles of very damaged girls and all you can do is let your mind race as you try to fit the puzzle pieces together in your head, that's how you know you're playing one good-ass game.

It's fun, it's engaging, it's fascinating. Best experienced fully blind if you can, and even better if you have a way to take notes while playing.

A very straightforward story, but one that was still neat to read! Absolutely love Delilah's pose and her absurd lean forward, it's a thing of wonder. Stacey is pretty adorable too, even though it took until she mentioned her freckles for me to notice them!

Both endings are quite interesting. I had to ponder for a bit to figure out which one is truly better, as both feel quite terribly bittersweet.

Fun stuff!

It takes the joke "toxic yuri because the gays are literally radioactive" and runs with it to the end of the world. It's a game that drags you down to its level, rots your defenses and just has you laugh along with its juvenile and irreverent humor.

Underneath all the poison jizz and endless fucking, is there an understated theme of how society cares too much about the personal lives and relationships of queer people? A tug at the string of thought about how marginalized groups can weaponize their struggles and begin to believe they are justified in causing harm and violence, first against the common folk and eventually even against their own, making up new excuses as things get worse and worse?

If you were to ask Uranium Gays those questions, it would just shrug and reply with "idk lol".

It takes the piss and drinks it too. Real punk stuff, I liked it.

It's really good.

It's a game I kept thinking about even when I wasn't playing it. It manages to deliver in both beating you down with how dreary things get while also exuding such confidence that it absolutely earns its more cheesy scenes. The way it balances intrigue and drama is a thing of wonder.

I adore how the fairy tale aesthetics extend to the storytelling itself, with it feeling very much like an old tale. It takes a fairly basic setting and concept and makes it fresh by not holding itself back when it goes for the darker scenes.

The two main girls are beautifully complex. You can relate to their struggles, understand what they are going through and really get where they are coming from, while also cursing at them for their short-sightedness and the terrible things they do.

Really enjoyed the music here, too. They are all royalty-free songs, but there was real care in choosing tracks that not only fit the mood, but also enhance it and make it all the easier to be pulled into this emotional rollercoaster of a journey.

It's a raw story. It gets violent, it gets sexual and it gets depressing, but it does all that without coming across as cheap. It hits you where it hurts, and it's a pain that's not quite healed yet ever since finishing it. 

Simply fantastic.

It was fun! The 'about' section mentions an Akiba Maid War inspiration, and even if you haven't seen it like myself, you can feel that there was an earnest desire to make a cool game about evil cool girls doing evil cool things. 

The characters are all gripping and I quite enjoyed the chemistry between them! It really doesn't take long before you end up getting attached to the main trio. Eleanor in particular won me over in just one scene.

It's a thrill of a world to spend some time in. Highly recommend it to those who are looking for some action, in both senses.

Thought it was a delightful little hammy tale!

If you want a kinky story about being kidnapped by a streamer you like, then you'll enjoy seeing Juno's reservations and common sense crumble away as she realizes that getting slapped around by a cute girl is kinda hot.

Even if that's not your cup of tea, the dialogue will probably get you giggling from time to time. There's a tongue-in-cheek quality to some of the banter that's really endearing.

I also really enjoyed how the choice you're given actually causes a major split in the story!

Was expecting the two branching paths to merge together eventually, but was really surprised with how it was handled, with them still going over mostly the same points, but in a different tone.

The characters look adorable too. I love how Venus has heart-shaped bangs, heart-shaped pupils and a heart-shaped cutout on her clothes. That's a lot of hearts! Her bright colors contrast well against Juno's muted, mundane clothes.

There's a lot of wholesome passion here. Reading the special thanks was just really cute, glad someone lent their basement for this project.

I had a good time with it!

It's a game that does a lot with what it has, both managing to deliver something fulfilling by itself while also feeling like the start of something much bigger.

I'm one to play my visual novels windowed, but the writing and especially the visuals got me so invested that I just had to put it on fullscreen to get even more out of it.

The art in general is just great. Character sprites are cute and full of charm, the CGs are gorgeous with their explosion of colors, and even the backgrounds do a lot of work establishing the moody vibe.

Cassia being so small on the screen gives you a feeling that something is wrong, and the payoff to that being the reveal of how huge the protagonist is just left me with a dumb smile on my face.

Now, perhaps most importantly, the game absolutely delivers on the titular scene, which actually caught me off guard.

Went in blind and thought "Zombie Puke" was just a cool title to match the aesthetics, but sure enough, there is a zombie, and she does puke. And it's really GOOD.

The way the scene is portrayed ("good girl", Me...?-chan calling Cassia "master", the little whimper and so on) does make it fetish-y, but even if you're the sort of person who's not into that stuff , the game's already got you hooked so badly to the point that you can't help but take in every little nasty, yet tantalizing detail, it's great. 

It feels like a scene that works both as a little treat to the freaks, while also being disturbing enough to fit in with the rest of the game.

I like the their dynamics too. At first I was a bit iffy on the protagonist being so submissive, but as the story goes on, you do get the feeling that this way of behaving might be a result of an already meek person being reanimated as someone's puppet, someone's plaything.

Cute and good!

Best of luck to the team if the game keeps getting worked on.

From what I have seen here, it's a tale I'd enjoy sitting down to read more of. Poking at the game's files, I can confidently say that Lillia can step on me.

Outstanding work!

I missed the "horror" tag and got completely thrown off when the mood changed, it got me good.

Eleana is still a cutie, though...

Had a big dumb smile on my face while playing it, all this colorful charm is too sweet for my heart.
