Fangame Review: Doki Doki Literature Club!!! Our Final Heartbeat

CW: Mentions of Suicide, child abuse, and images of self harm/cutting. Given that I specifically mentioned and linked this mod in my review of Doki Doki Literature Club, I think it’s safe to assume that this review was obligatory. I think I heard that there was a fan mod that DID serve as just that; …

Amazing VGM: Tranquility (Sakura Spirit)

I’ve made my opinion on Sakura Spirit pretty clear in the past; I don’t like it. As much as I exaggerate my own sexual deviancy for comedic effect… you know where this is going. Having nice… scenery… can only get you so far if you are vapid and uninspired. But enough about Katy Perry! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0fihhQ8LUw …

Yume Nikki (PC): Abstract Surrealism, but Not Much Else (Detailed Review)

CW: Suicide There are certain games that I hear mentioned a lot as being “inspired by Earthbound/Mother.” Among these include games like Undertale, Off, LISA, Contact, Opoona, and the subject of this review; Yume Nikki. I have had a bit of an on again off again relationship with this game kinda like those ones in …

Amazing VGM: Megalovania (Halloween Hack/Homestuck/Cognitive Dissonance/Undertale)

Note: This was originally written as a DeviantArt journal entry on October 21st of 2016 with some edits made. Major spoiler warning for Halloween Hack, Mother: Cognitive Dissonance, and Undertale. It is about time I get to another entry on a video game song given how long it has been since the last one. As …

Steam Greenlight Landfill: Final Quest II

Good fucking god why did I even bother to play this piece of shit? I was not thinking this game would turn out good after the first game was such a train wreck, but this one is not only worse, it is a FUCK LOAD worse! The first Final Quest is Mother 3 compared to …

Meltys Quest (PC): Shameless, Trashy, and Oddly Compelling (Detailed Review) (NSFW)

CW: Mentions of and references to strong sexual content, rape, incest, pedophilia, homophobia, biphobia, and domestic abuse. Images are blurred but still sexual in nature. Consider pledging to my fanbox if you want to see more reviews of NSFW games like this. Meltys Quest is a bit of an oddity to me. I can normally …

Max, An Autistic Journey (PC): Could Have Been an Artistic Journey, but Wasn’t (Detailed Review)

TW: Ableism… what did you expect in a game subtitled “An Autistic Journey?” The observant eye might have noticed that the puzzle piece is a common symbol that is used to represent people with autism. The reasoning behind this was to represent both the puzzling nature of the condition as well as the fact that …

JRPG Update Indie: January 2018

And welcome to the other variation of JRPG Update that we currently hold. This series is meant to post a round up of news related to indie RPGs that are reminiscent of what are often considered JRPGs, regardless of the country where they were developed. Anyway, this one will be a bit different than JRPG …

Steam Greenlight Landfill: Legends of the Universe – Starcore

There are sometimes when I review certain games where I think to myself that “someone spent a lot of their time and money to make this game.” Contrary to the cartoonish portrayal by angry video game reviewers, game development isn’t easy, and even games that are not the least bit good take a lot of …

Amazing VGM: Sayo-nara (Doki Doki Literature Club!)

Well, I don’t usually decide to cover disturbing tracks for Amazing VGM, and I don’t find myself likely to again any time soon. Truthfully, I don’t even really want to write this piece, but this is the only time where I will be able to get myself in the right mindset to be able to …
