Website Updates
- I updated the shrines to be listed a bit better. I think it looks kinda cool idk.
- I also added an autogynephilia shrine. Or honestly idek if they count as shrines cause i’m not 100% sure on what a shrine is so they’re kinda more like articles for now but idk i’ll work on it.
Game Recommendations
All of these games are currently free or have a free demo, they are also not very intensive on a computer so you have no reason not to play them. You should play these games. They are so good.
of the Devil is a really good detective visual novel that plays like Phoenix Wright with gambling. It fucking rules. It’s in a really cool cyberpunk dystopia surveilance state setting and the characters are fun and the mysteries are really well written and it makes you feel smart and dumb at the same time in the best ways. There’s a reveal at the end of chapter 0 (which is free and is a few hours long) which made me audibly gasp it was so fucking cool this game is so fucking cool.
Citizen Sleeper is one of my favorite kinds of games: reading with occasional dice rolls. Or Citizen Sleeper is more so like dice rolls with occasional reading. It is the best videogame translation of ttrpg clockslop that i’ve personally played and it’s very good. You’re in a dying robot body in a shitty dystopian space station and it gets worse from there because you meet characters and they’re really compelling and interesting actually.
Mindwave is a warioware-like that fucking rules. It is visually very clearly inspired by Invader Zim among other things, the art is fantastic, the music is fantastic, the animation is fantastic, the writing is fun. So far only a demo is out on steam but that demo fucks so hard. The minigames are also formed from different characters’ subconscious and there’s a visual novel component where you get to meet some of the other competitors and talk to them and it’s really really really fun. The minigames are all designed with a mouse and keyboard in mind and I think they make use of that really well. It’s just a demo right now, it’s free, the story is like an hour tops, and there’s an endless mode with some extra minigames. It’s super fun.
one night, hot springs is a visual novel about a trans woman going to a hot springs with her friend and her friend’s friend for her friend’s birthday. It’s really short, it’s free, and it’s really really good. There’s not much more to say about it than that. You should play it
Awaria is the second game by the guy who made Helltaker. I never played helltaker but i saw this and the art style looked cool. Surprisingly though, the gameplay really steals the spotlight for me. It’s simple yet it gets all these extra layers that are introduced perfectly without ever really needing to explain any of the mechanics explicitly besides the very basics. It also features an ample amount of ghost women yuri. I’m not that into women personally so that aspect didn’t do much for me, but the writing is fairly funny, the art/animation is really well done, and it really cuts out all the fat games like this might tend to have. Play the first mission and you’ll understand what I mean. Overall the game is like an hour or so long on normal difficulty, doing normal and hard took me about five or so hours. So very short game, but very fun, plus beating the game on hard unlocks fun bonus content.
