Game #43 of 2026 Toem 2 I've been looking forward to this for a bit, because I adored Toem. This was a lot of the same, maybe a bit too much of the same. I feel like it needed something more. It's still charming and no doubt it was a fun game, I recommend it, but I wanted more levels and gameplay.

Game #42 of 2026 Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories This was the grindiest of the early games so far and it was annoyingly so. The difficulty jumps and exceptionally bad card drops hold this one back a lot. I gave up, added cards I own, removed the deck limit, and things actually were fun after that.

Yami Yugi at the start of the game. "Welcome to the world of Yu-gi-oh."

The first card I made using the card construction feature. It's some abomination of gray-legged mammal thing and some purple demon shit with giant red lips on its stomach.

Game #41 of 2026 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories It REALLY expanded on the original Duel Monsters, but it's honestly so much slower and annoying 😅 I've liked deck limits before, but the costs were crazy high. Got lucky with random drops, two Zoa and a Dark Magician carried my ass.

Yami Yugi doing his normal aura farming, intimidating the new player. "Welcome to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 2!"

Tristan showing his complete lack of confidence. Practice good self-talk man, nobody designated you the practice stage except yourself.

Game #40 of 2026 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Holy crap, the series certainly came a long way in terms of complexity. Every duel is basically "big number go brrr" because there are no traps or effects, and opponents don't use spells. Still kind of a fun grind experience. The spritework was crazy good!

Game #39 of 2026 God For a Day So the concept is to bless or damn people based on what info you find about them. Interesting concept, terribly executed with some really questionable morality. It's a buggy mess that managed to be unfun after only a few choices. This was a real bad impulse buy 😓

Hell. Satan is a cat on a throne in the background. The characters sent to hell are dropped here. Melon Bozos has just been dropped with his punishment being "Mars is always five years away."

Game #38 of 2026 Astral Ascension The best way to describe PixelFade's last VN is that it's consistent. It follows the typical beats of the other PF VNs, which ends up being a mixed bag of too predictable and comforting. The characters (yes, even the token bromance one) stood out well in this one.

Astral Ascension new story screen asking for the player to fill in their identity card. This one is filled with the first name "Cellard" and last name "Underscoretwenty." Even if I'm not streaming, gotta represent. The MC is sort of the typical brooding looking PixelFade character reminiscent of Crystalline's Zack.

"She's the captain?" She looks to be a couple of years younger than me."

Iris Alcyon in her pink-haired glory doing a cool girl pose against a wall. For some reason her pants are low-waisted and you can see her navel through her shirt. Space fashion at its finest.

Response options to Kai Zephyr (the blonde green-eyed man behind the text) after a mission when he reads a quote stating, "Does it matter? It's all my money anyway."

Response from top to bottom:
"I'm glad the family reconciled."
"NFTs should have never been a thing!"
"Some people have too much money..."

Iris Alcyon holds onto a pink blob creature, known as a pango. These creatures originated in the PixelFade VN Crystalline.

"Nope. This is my pango. Right, pango?"

Game #37 of 2026 Super Mario Bros. 3 Growing up I don’t recall having ever not used the warp flute. My brothers taught me where it was and I used it. So experiencing every level now was a fun way to revisit it. It’s filled with banger music and I forgot how cool World 8’s tank levels were!

“Oh, it’s terrible! The King has been transformed! Please find the magic wand so we can change him back.” Says the Toad next to a dog with a crown as fire Mario looks on. Honestly the dog is so much cooler, leave it man.

Game #36 of 2026 The World Next Door A charming other world with surprisingly challenging but really fun gameplay. Story was sort of melodramatic but okay, but then the abrupt half-baked ending happened. It’s a real shame because it was just starting to really cook. Wish there was more, honestly.

Game #35 of 2026 Quest for Camelot It’s like an attempt at Legend of Zelda while not really knowing what makes that good or fun. Everything is a damage sponge and there’s weird precision shit happening even. I do miss when like every movie/show got a licensed game regardless of quality though.

Game #34 of 2026 No More Work for Ito This is probably the most relatable story I have experienced since playing And Roger, and it hit in multiple ways for me. It feels like it could have lasted longer, but I appreciate that a story about the soulless grind of work didn't overstay its welcome.

Game #33 of 2026 A Building Full of Cats 2 I may have jumped back into a Full of Cats title too soon after the last one lmao. I found it a little too repetitive this time with the apartments. The theming for them was dope, some good minigame ideas, but some less so (rhythm games *shakes fist*).

The first room's entrance, loaded with cats in a pink, yellow, and cyan color scheme.

A poster or something in a very stereotypical metal design that says "Devcats Making True Games." Cats are hidden along the tree.

Game #32 of 2026 Star Fox I always imagined Star Fox 64 looking like this as a kid and seeing it now, I’m in love. It is SF64 at its best and brings me hope that we will get a truly new Star Fox game in the near future. This is going to take some time for me to out fully down, it’s so fun.

Game #31 of 2026 Spilled! Super cute, super short game about cleaning up the ocean. It was interesting how well the game worked and it was really visually appealing. The main takeaway I think was that if your boat pollutes the ocean, a smaller pissed off boat will spray you until you sink and die.

The player's boat is sleeping when another boat comes by dropping oil behind it. The art for the game was gorgeous.

The entrance to the second area is opened. The water is a poopy brown with black oil streaks everywhere. A turtle floats on some of the oil.

Another boat shows a happy emote after having a beach ball pushed to it.

A rescued penguin is shown, its name is Lucille. On the top left are instructions for making snowballs or something. The right screen has all the animal friends collected.

Game #30 of 2026 Halfmoon The pixel art in Halfmoon is gorgeous, truly beautifully done. It's unfortunate nothing else really lived up to that quality though. I can see a story argument for why some things were lackluster, but the quality, specifically controls, was still frustrating sadly.

Two women in all black sit on a couch.

Game #29 of 2026 A Shelter Full of Cats I love Devcats and their hidden object (cat) games. They're so relaxing while also not being too easy. It's a great balance. This iteration provided lots of information as well, and some additional puzzles outside of finding cats. These are always fun!

The welcome screen for A Shelter Full of Cats. A postcard with a cat stamp is on the screen, with "Welcome to OUr Shelter Full of Cats" written on it. It sits in front of a hedge with a gate behind it and two wooden signs with a cat symbol and a settings symbol.

The entrance to the shelter with Hannah and an alert symbol next to her. The screen is filled with cats causing chaos around the front yard.

Game #28 of 2026 Before Your Eyes Using blinks to control a game is such a novel, but amazing concept. I wasn't sure how I felt about the game until midway through. It honestly felt like another A Memoir Blue or Hindsight + blinking, then it took a swift turn into peak territory. Brilliant game!

Game # 23 of 2026 Wax Heads A neat little story about trying to save a record shop and good ole punk dysfunctionality. Truthfully the gameplay loop got a bit stale and store navigation could have been better. The stories of customers and employees, and the music, shined the brightest in the game.

Game #22 of 2026 Home Safety Hotline It's an interesting retro spooky concept and I had an enjoyable time with it, but it was quite repetitive. I wish there had been more on the prank call plotline, but a week wouldn't be enough to make it worthwhile probably. The VAs and art were well done.

The entry for Bed Teeth, featuring a weird picture of bedding with teeth.
BED TEETH
DESCRIPTION:
Bed Teeth are a rare kind of household fungus known for growing in small, cone-like shapes on the underside of bed sheets, blankets, or comforters. Homeowners infested with Bed Teeth often report mild
discomforts when sleeping such as tickling or itching, and more rarely slimy acidic residue on their skin.

DANGER:
Bed Teeth are not directly harmful to most humans, given their brief sleeping schedules. However, they tend to gradually grow sharper over time if left untreated, which can lead to infections in the open
wounds they cause.

SOLUTION:
To prevent the growth of Bed Teeth, bedsheets and blankets should be washed regularly, and inspected for rare, more persistent growths. Infested covers should be scrubbed thoroughly, or
disposed of entirely

Game #17 of 2027 Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Enhanced Edition A rollercoaster of emotions with someone always hurt. It relied a lot on the psychology of sex, and at times was very distasteful. Takayuki is basically a less dumb but way more immoral Shirogane. But it's one of the best VNs I've ever read.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien in Kanji with Enhanced Edition R written in English under it. The text is over a walk sign with the red, do not walk light on.

Shinji Taira looking a little disgusted outside on the hill.
"Y-Yeah! I'd never be with a guy like Takayuki! I'd rather be called a fatty-loving bestiliaty maniac!"
This moment leads to the totally normal nickname of Mr. Bestiality being used throughout the story.

Mitsuki Hayase staring affectionately at the ring given to her on her hand.
"...Perfect."
That fucking ring man.

Manami Homura, the green devil, smiling happily in a very plain, old apartment. There's a creepy frog at the bottom of her braid, a totally normal thing for someone to always wear. Takayuki lists the items she has brought back with her, totally normal items. Yup.
"Adult diapers. Waterless shampoo. Hydrogen peroxide for disinfection. Rope for making crafts..."

Everything happening with Takayuki and Haruka in Chapter 3 no longer matters, I want more Chizuru! 45 hours in and these 5 minutes are the happiest I've been during it lmao

Chizuru Sakaki appearing behind Akane Suzumiya suddenly during Chapter 3 of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

Chizuru smirking from behind Akane as the latter scolds her with: "Chizuru! Don't scare me like that..."

Game #16 of 2026 There's No Easter Eggs I needed a break from Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, and what better than a holiday relevant hidden object game? Nothing really special. The most significant thing it did was force you to click specific eggs on hard mode. The 1000 egg achievement was some shit though.

The main screen of There's No Easter Eggs.

Level 1 Warehouse on Easy mode. This warehouse has some weird shit in it between the giant spiders, mummies. monkeys, clowns, and random yoga ladies.

Level 7 Under the Sea dropping some Cthulhu/Lovecraft and Spongebob Squarepants references. Neptune has an egg on his crotch.

Level 1 Warehouse on Hard mode, with the current target egg showing.

It's absolutely a playboy bunny, and it's wild that not only did they make two more with this concept, but one is even working bottle service lol

I started Kimi ga Nozomu Eien earlier this weak to fill some Muv-Luv cravings I was having. As soon as Suzumiya said she doesn't like fireworks, I knew snakes and sparklers would come up and all I could see was this stupid image in my head. So now everyone else has to see it too.

Adam Beach's character Kickin' Wing from the movie Joe Dirt at the fireworks festival in Kimi ga Nozomu Eien in place of Haruka Suzumiya. Suzumiya: "I like... the black snake fireworks..."

Game #15 of 2026 Hindsight Generational trauma. It reminded me a lot of A Memoir Blue but way too slow and not as good. The first time it did the effect of spinning the screen to find where to go next in an object was cool. It was less cool that was the entire game. Just really not for me I guess.

A woman stands looking out at the water on a beach. Our point of view is coming from in the bushes because we're a creep. And yes, the game just opens with you watching in the bushes.

Mary has been born. Her head with her hilarious face is blocking mom, dad holds mom's hand. The doctor looks like they might be tripping a little.

Mary stands on the deck of her childhood home having finished packing and reflecting on how she thought her mom sucked and maybe she didn't.

Game #14 of 2026 Creature Kitchen I was feeling a vibe tonight and after the stomach flu, a cooking game sounded fun. Why not jankily cook for jank creatures? It's quite an unsettling game, though not truly scary. But that first time you catch a lil fella at your door... it's pretty unnerving.

A raccoon sits on a red rocking chair on the deck of a house at night. There's a sticky note on a post of the deck with a wind chime and a plate on a rail. The user is holding a polaroid camera.

Learning how to cook in-game.
Safe Cutting
If you need to slice an ingredient, a knife is your best bet. For the safety of your countertop, always use a cutting board. If rage overtakes you, put the knife down.

The information page for Grey, the doggo. He is a long boy.
~08~
Wants three meals with beef
This things been here a long time!
Is it still a dog house when there's not a dog around?

Scribbled in the handwriting:
Very long!!!
Just wants big dinner
I wonder if I can bring him inside... (Don't, he barks constantly lol)
Not sure this is a dog...

An omelet. The food art for the game is actually pretty lit.

Game #13 of 2026 Is This Seat Taken? Enjoyable and a simple premise with sometimes frustrating parameters. Did the storyline do anything for me? No, not really. But I enjoyed the puzzles and I thought it was fun trying to figure out the demands of the shapes. Fuck those smelly shapes though. 😒◻️🪰

A map with a taxi on a road with several destinations along it. Written at the top is "Barcelona."

Shapes waiting outside a limo. A rhombus with an earring named Nat say, "I'm just an aspiring actor." We stan the angry looking triangle in a beanie.

An outdoor venue for music. A band composed of shapes with sunglasses play music, some shapes dance, some sit at tables. Bottom right say:
Amos Kid
I am wearing too much cologne
I want to sit

Shapes standing outside a classroom with lots of purple desks. An angry triangle Teacher says, "This is acting class, not math class!"

Game #12 of 2026 Crystalline A visual novel filled with your typical fantasy tropes and way too many pop culture references. Compared to most OELVNs, it's pretty darn nice and it did manage to elicit some feelings from me. VAs were surprisingly familiar! Also the um jiggle physics are... why lol?

The title screen of Crystalline. Leanna Dawn stands on a floating island looking out at presumably a sky temple.

Our edgelord mercenary Zack Spade dissing a woman.
Zack Spade
"No thanks, but if I'm ever in need of your services then I'll go find you at the brothel."

A tricked out magical mobile home. A man in a hat with sunglasses attempting to be a reference to Breaking Bad's Walter White is on the bottom left speaking. An example of what you really shouldn't put in as a main part of your story if you don't want to make readers aware they are reading cringe.
Walter Wight
"Jesse, how many times do I have to tell you call me Heisenburg."

True Ending screen with "Fin." written on it. The main character embraces Leanna Dawn, his red scarf framing their upper bodies.

Game #11 of 2026 Emily Is Away It's really neat having seen what Emily Is Away <3 was before playing this. It's definitely way more simplistic, but I feel like it was so relatable. No matter what you did, nothing would ever work out how you wanted, no conversation went how you want. 2015 as fuck.
