Sage Fusion is a hybrid between RPG, adventure game and a Visual Novel. It features turn-based battles and wonderful artworks, greatly designed characters (visually and personality-wise).

It’s set in a futuristic universe where AI = taboo (maybe for the best if we consider what’s happening in our world). What’s important is the fact that the whole story is written very interestingly and makes you want to learn more of it. Not just the main story, but also to see the side quests. And in all of that we have two main characters who get caught up in a conflict they didn’t plan to be in.

All in all, a great game, which I always fondly remember of. Definitely worth a play.

Played it on my YouTube channel. 10 years ago! Time sure flies. All the videos are put on a Sage Fusion playlist.

The game is absolutely fantastic! Loved how everything was presented. Characters have both great visual designs and personalities. The effect of an old CRT TV is also neat.

I definitely liked the protagonist and his interaction with stranger that he's met. And also the fact he was not the type of person to demand a favor for favor.

The insight into corrupted people in the town was also a great addition. And definitely something that hits with reality in certain places.

Plus the supernatural was quite interesting.Considering that and the ending I do believe there's still room to continue the story and if that's your plan, then I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Additionally - both the Art Book and Wallpaper are a nice additions.

Normally when I play something, I made a video out of it, which was the case here, too. And linked the game in description to hopefully move some people to your game. Well, that is if algorith will be helpful, too, which lately is not the case. 

Once again, great job!

It's way way late, yeah. Backlog of games to play. And backlog of reviews to write. I just usually start writing, finish a few, then am not satisfied with next few and pause writing for like a year... And don't really want to be like some people that just write "Cool game" and drop links to videos without providing any feedback at all. Though, that's also another reason for me being behind with those.

Hah. At this point making those videos can basically be considered an addiction for me. Absolutely surprised that I'm still at it though, but definitely not feeling like dropping it. 

And I'm still glad seeing some devs from quite a while ago keeping at making games. Seeing a new release from familiar name, because I played something in the past always brings a smile to my face. So yeah, keep at it, too.

It’s been ages in the wait, but here goes a very late few words about the Signed X. Just a few from what I remember.

First of all, I rarely jump into Otome, but over here it was definitely a good idea to do so. Absolutely no regrets.

The game is cute and has a great humour, the delusional heroine is super fun. Characters look decent overall and so does the environment we get to see them in.

For me Marty is the strongest point. Her quirkinness is fantastic. As for the possible interests of hers – no favourite. Bet it has to do with me (as a guy) not really being able to put myself into actual shoes of female protagonists in general. And not there being any issues with them.

All in all, definitely worth a play and hope people will still run into this game despite it being quite a few years since initial release.

I also covered one of the routes all those years ago on YouTube and it’s all put into Signed X playlist.

It's been ages since I played it back in the day. Great three stories. Also I should thank you for featuring my video of 'in silence' on your website. Much appreciated.

To be fair, I played all three stories back in the day, which are on YouTube in a playlist of Colorless Day.

I played this game ages ago and now somehow running into it on itch.io. It was a short game, but I remember it to be quite interesting. I do believe on first try I got the supposed happier ending.

Played it on YouTube when was still making short videos, so it has a few parts that I put on Trapped Playlist.

a2 ~a due~ was a great experience when I played through it a few years back. I’m not the type of person to dive into Otome VNs, but this one is absolutely worth it.

Our female protagonist is a fantastic character. A rocker girl who’s father was a famous classical music conductor. Talk about opposite directions in music. The direction of classical is eventually the direction she’s forced (in a way) to follow into and run into potential love interest who can’t even  speak her language, which leads to hilarious situations.

The designs & personalities of characters are great. Sona – the protagonist – gives the vibes you’d expect of a woman that’s deeply into rock music. Same with Hao who’s representing the actual classical side. Basically if you think in a stereotypical manner, you get what you expect. All in all though, it all clicks together for the duo. There are also side characters who are great to have around.

Speaking of graphics as well – the backgrounds, images between chapters are very eye-catching. Background music – pleasing to the ear through entire story.

All in all, I say it’s worth playing. And I’m speaking from perspective of someone who rarely plays Otome games. Plus you can get the Music Album from downloadable files.

I also played the game on my YouTube back in the day when I first discovered it. You can find my journey in a2 ~a due~ playlist that I created.

The Elevator is a Visual Novel taking place in the future. The protagonist of the story – David – is a private detective that has been through bad experience (typical detective in the stories, wouldn't you agree?). On a daily basis he’s using the elevator. In which he runs fairly often into Elena, a young women working on a different floor.

Those encounters and their talks are the main focus of the game. Two characters running into each other and engaging in coversations. What they are talking about, what they might be trutful about, what they might lie about - I won’t tell you, that’s for you to find out.

This game is a Visual Novel as I already stated. That of course means you do get to pick from some choices, which will lead you to eventually reach one of two endings. And each you can get relatively fast given the fact entirety of the game has a bit over 9000 words used. The dialogue between two characters is well-written and shows the atmosphere in great way. Artworks fits the story perfectly and all is accompanied by good OST.

I played the game a few years ago on my YouTube channel, too. If you’re feeling like checking that out I’m leaving the link to my playlist of The Elevator.

Great game! I really hope you'll continue working on it and drop more chapters.

I played this game years ago when Desura still existed and that's where I discovered it. What a gem of a game it was. Even now it's something you'd want to give 30 minutes to. Definitely worth checking out!

Also covered it on YouTube. Here's a link to Lumen playlist I have on my channel.

Cute mystery game with romance. Just be warned - IT"S OTOME! It's not for everyone, but if that's your genre or you're interested in giving it a go - without a doubt worth playing through and experiencing at least one of the routes.

The switching of scenery between real life and in game life was quite interesting. And of course slowly discovering various secrets of people. Learning about people step by step is rather entertaining. And they all have their own uniqueness.

Absolutely nothing to complain about regarding artstyle. Characters are designed very well. Same can be said about locations and backgrounds.

Years back covered one ending on YouTube, which can be found on RE: Alistari++ playlist I made. After all those years finally sat to see the other endings on my own. Should have done so from the very beginning.

Normally I don’t play much of Otome. If there’s a female protagonist it usually is a Yuri game. But from time to time it doesn’t hurt to try something else. Ristorante Amore was worth a try for sure. It's an interesting game with fun characters and good story.

That’s all I can say, because it really has been a few years since I played the game and made a whole dedicated playlist with videos covering the game. If you want you can check that on mentioned playlis, which I'm linking: Ristorante Amore playlist. 

I played this game years ago after finding it on Kongregate and it was definitely a big positive surprise. Seeing One Chance on itch.io now made me feel quite nostalgic. There’s something about this game that makes you connected with main character and the whole downfall happening around. An absolute must play!

I did one of the endings on YouTube back in the day and other one’s on my own. Think I’ll now sit to it again to fully refresh my memories.
