Artemis: Book One Gameplay | Indie Visual Novel | Part 7 [Ending]
This might be one of the best visual novels that came out this year. The story is interesting, there are a lot of characters and a lot of choices to make, the dialogue is not filled with nonsense, it actually has some funny jokes and the animations are really good. In this game you are going to play as Aiden and help him get through the rough patch that he's currently experiencing. Not only that his long-time girlfriend cheated on him, but now Aiden has problems with money and he also needs to find a new place to live after being evicted from his last apartment. I really do recommend this game for the fans of the genre!

Shards of Her | Gameplay Part 1
This early access VN focuses on the life of Michael, a demigod that mysteriously lost the love of his life and now he's in search for her. Apparently this would be an episodic release. The first act was a little bit short in my opinion. The writing was not that bad, the story is science-fiction with magic and fairies, I feel like they talk too much during scenes, the graphics are not that amazing and the animations are ok. All in all this might be a great VN for the fans of the genre one day.
From Steam:
"Embark in a world of magic, where once mighty gods reigned supreme, but now are hunted and on the brink of oblivion. Can you save your love amidst a world consumed by lust and betrayal?

But Michael's world was turned upside down when Hemera, a once-beautiful goddess with unmatched beauty, cast him out of their sanctuary with a whisper. It was a place where light once thrived but grew dim when she vanished. Hemera's actions stirred something within him, reigniting his quest for answers about her fate...
As he embarks on a new quest for truth, he finds himself caught in the middle of an upcoming war against humans and the remaining gods. Stories tell of a sorceress with the power to manipulate time and bend the gods to her will.
The answer to her disappearance might be somewhere in between...

Raven - The Goblin Hunter Demo | Gameplay
Don't even know what to say about this game's demo. It looks like it could be a great game, I feel it's a combination of God of war and Diablo, style wise. The combat feels clunky, there are a lot of puzzles (if you're into those type of things in a game like this) and a lot of bugs (couldn't find the chain or fell through the map). This game still needs a lot of work to be real polished.
From Steam:
"It's time to descend into the underground tunnels and defeat the Goblin King who persecutes your People! Use your weapons, prepare your spells and destroy tens of thousands of Goblins! Raven is a TPS Isometric 3D Roguelike Fight Game. Solve the Puzzles and Hunt the Goblins!

Nowhere: Mysterious Artifacts | Upcoming Survival
A demo for an upcoming survival game is up on Steam and it doesn't look bad at all. The performance is good (even though I've played only in single player), the graphics are ok and it looks like it has a story. The nice thing about the game is that it has co-op so you can play with up to four friends. All in all this might be a good survival for the fans of the genre, but it has to be executed right because a lot of similar looking indie survival games had been released through time and they suffered from mediocrity.

Doomer Gameplay | ??? | Early Access
Not even a doomer's life can be as empty as this game. This game is in earliest of accesses so you pretty much can't do anything. The graphics are nice, even though I've seen this apartment and neighbourhood before.
From Steam:
"Try on the role of a Russian Doomer, who lives in a typical post-Soviet building. Your pointless life filled with routine and addictions. Can you cope with it?
You are a Russian doomer living in a typical post-Soviet Khrushchev. Your daily problems are addictions, work, introspection.

A short horror experience about monsters with TV heads. The objective is pretty simple, find 8 pictures of the devs cat or find pieces for the TV head monster picture (I don't know what that does).
From Steam:
"You find yourself all alone in the middle of a dark forest. You have no weapons and no place to wait for help. The dim flashlight that lights the way is your only friend. Your goal is to explore the location to find eight pages and leave this frightening place.
TV Head Eight Pages is a classic first-person indie horror. You find yourself all alone, in the middle of a dark forest. You have no weapons and no place to wait for help.

Levels
In the main menu you can choose from three available levels. Dense Jungle, Winter Forest or Swamp. Whatever you choose, darkness, dense fog and a frightening atmosphere await you in any case.
Dangers
As you wander through the dark forest, you might see a bright light somewhere in the distance or hear strange noises like the hiss of a broken television set. You don't need to check what it is. You're better off just running.
Pages
In order to complete the level you need to find eight pictures. Usually in games like this, players have to look for notes or some scary drawings, but this is a little different. I just took some pictures of my cat and added them to the game. To complete the level, you have to find all of her pictures. "

The Zone: Stalker Stories | RPG Card Battler | Part 1
As a finished game this really might be an interesting card battler RPG, for now it's still in early access. I like a lot of parts about it, like the aesthetics, the story, the free roam or the battles. But, I also feel like this game needs a lot of work from now on to rise at its potential. The game crashed a lot on me (going back with 'quick start' seemingly fixed a lot of them, I was in a crash frenzy at one point, every time I was about to fight somebody the game crashed), I hated the fact that you can't see enemies in free roam and you randomly stumble across them in the weirdest places and most of the times they are much stronger than you, I find it weird that you can't see enemies at all on free roam, also, the game could've been more explicative in general about free roam and battles. This is not at all a bad game but it still needs some work unfortunately.
From Steam:
"Tactical card battles and narrative RPG exploration in a world of monsters and anomalies. As one of the last remnants of humanity, trapped in the Zone, it's your turn to become a Stalker and walk where others fear to tread.

Demonic Supremacy | Full Demo
With a little bit of polishing this game can be really fun. I've completed the demo after a few tries and I can say that it has similarities with some other fast-paced FPS games. One of the biggest problems I had with it is the fact that sometimes it would get stuck on 'running' even though I'm not running and the stamina depletes so fast because of that.
From Steam:
"Demonic Supremacy is an old school 3D shooter with a certain nostalgic flavour and few gamer-friendly features. It offers several hours of hurricane gameplay rocking through memorable levels with the explosive heavy metal soundtrack!

DETECTIVE - Stella Porta Case | Demo
My detective career was cut short with this game. The game itself it's not bad at all, but I think it needs some work here and there. The graphics are nice, the game's atmospheric, the sounds and soundtrack are good but the case solving feels a little shallow. For solving the case you have to order the evidences by the time they happened but the game won't tell you anything so you can't know if you have them right or wrong. Also, as a detective I suppose I should've had a flashlight (or at least a lighter) for the dark areas of the game.
From Steam:
"DETECTIVE: Stella Porta Case, puts you in the shoes of a detective who investigates three strange disappearances. In all cases there is a contract signed by the disappeared, that contract is from an organization called "Stella Porta".

Each case presents a completely different scenario, but they all seem to be connected in some way, as a detective your job is to solve the cases and find the connection between them.
As a police detective, you must reach the crime zone and collect all the evidence you see, these evidence will help you later to solve the case.
Anything is important, details, objects, conversations, you will need to be observant in order to move forward.
- Three different cases.
- You will have to mark the evidence and photograph it.
- Once you have the evidence, you must go to your office and order it to solve the case.
DETECTIVE: Stella Porta Case, is dark and macabre, showing unfiltered contemporary social reality. "

Matrix Hearts - Season 1 | Part 2
New VN came out today and and it looks like it's going to be a long one. The story is not that out of this world yet, graphics are nice, the animations could've been better and the game does offer you some choices. The story focuses around our rock-climbing protagonist and it's starting with seemingly the end of his career, represented by a knee injury sustained while climbing. So far I recommend this game to the fans of the genre.
From Steam:
"Matrix Hearts is a Visual Novel about romance, comedy, and choice. Play in the shoes of a former Olympic rock-climber as he moves to a tropical island where he may be able to climb to the top once again.
He was supposed to be somebody. He was going to be a contender! Then he took a rock climbing wall to the knee. A would-be Olympic climber sustains an injury to his leg that keeps him from competing and a shot at the big leagues, with the only possible fix being a prototype technology that is sci-fi at best. Between his new introverted mood, a town of colorful characters, and the fruits of temptation, getting this tech to work may require all he's got. There's a big cliff to climb for him to be a champion again!​
Matrix Hearts is a story with a slow build that focuses on character movements first before reaching an overarching climax with an ocean of irreverent humor. Choose which path this former Olympian takes. Climb to the top of the rock-climbing world or laze around on a beach. Are you going to go and capture every woman's heart or are you going to focus on finding the love of your life? Your choices make your story!

Must Academy - Season 2 | Gameplay Part 5
I guess this visual novel continues the story of the first Season and it follows the life on James, a young wizard surrounded by the baddest witches you've ever seen. The story is nice, no useless or boring dialogue, the characters don't look that detailed, but they don't look bad either, there are a lot of long scenes with animations and it takes a lot of time to finish the game. I recommend to buy this game if you are fans of the genre or just to support the dev!
From Steam:
"Continue your adventure in Cordale Academy, following up on your previous choices and experiencing all-new content, including: Story, Animations, Locations, Quests and more!

Zortch Gameplay | Fast-Paced Shooter | Part 2 Ending
This FPS feels and plays a bit like Quake and Half-Life, which is great for an indie game. The fast-paced combat, weapons, secrets and enemies make this a super fun 90' style video game. This is not a short game either. I've played for an hour and only completed 3 levels out of 15. I really do recommend this game for the fans of fast-paced or Doom/Quake style games.
From Steam:
"Meet Zortch Maxinum: short order cook, amateur engineer and professional slacker; Bored and tired of her day job she decides to go on a holiday but alas she picks a cheap option: turns out it's a scheme by aliens who capture humans to eat their brains! also this game is a sci-fi horror comedy fps.

The Proponent Gameplay | Indie Horror | Part 1
I managed to get stuck on this indie horror game and I don't know if I'm missing something or it's just a problem with the game somewhere. The graphics and atmosphere are not bad in this game. The story might be good too. The problems that I have with it are the low brightness areas (you lack a flashlight, but you can use your weapon's flashlight. The bad part about it is that you can't move it up or down.), the sounds seem a bit weird/cheap and the price is somewhat strange too.
From Steam:
"The Proponent is a first-person horror where you take on the role of a man trapped in a high-rise building and try to find a way out.
Hello everyone. I invite you to play The Proponent - a first-person horror that focuses on the atmosphere and the presentation of the story through the details. I tried to avoid the extreme, when the narrative is presented only through notes and audio files, although I decided not to leave the game without them, sometimes it is a really good way to tell a part of the story.
Something bad happened to the building in which the protagonist settled some time ago: the doors were sealed, the rooms were mixed together like a deck of cards. Strange creatures began to inhabit these places, few survivors trying to survive and get out
Explore the premises. Skillfully use weapons and save ammunition
Use the "Mirror" to see what is hidden from the ordinary eye
Some creatures are better to avoid, others are worth interacting with
Get to the finals and learn more about the world the main character is in, save yourself. "

A new visual novel came out today and it's just as silly as you would expect. This is the third game in this series and it seems like it might be the last. The graphics are nice in this game, the story is wacky and far-fetched, there are a lot of scenes with a many animations but it seems like they could've worked more on some of them. If you are into this type of games then this surely is for you. The scenes are really something else lol

Breeze Of Passion Gameplay | Indie Visual Novel | Part 1
I don't know how to feel about this new early access VN. The beginning of the game is slow, it is super far-fetched, the dialogue is kind of dull and the characters and animations don't look that detailed up-close, even though they don't look bad at all. For now it has like an hour of gameplay and a couple of scenes (more parts will be released in the future for the buyers of this game). This first part was very linear and you can't really choose more options than the 'one' the game's offering you. I can't really understand the purpose of giving the player just one choice ?! Either give them more choices or none. This game has some potential but for now I feel like it needs more content, better script, more choices and some random people added to it because it feels so empty.
From Steam:
"Breeze of Passion is a game about a young guy who abandons the carefree life of a spoiled rich kid and moves to a small seaside town to help with the family business. This VN is full of beautiful girls, and unexpected plot twists, along with high-quality graphics.
Wanna step into the shoes of the main character in the new project Breeze of Passion?
What are those shoes? You know, that of a young successful businessman. But let's not rush things.
You were born and raised in a big city, in a reasonably well-off family, and you've never needed anything. Still, despite all of that, you didn't become a spoiled brat and devoted your entire life to studying... Studying how to drink without getting drunk, how to throw great parties, and enjoy all the other pleasures of a rich life.
Well, you know... your youth... It was perfect!
However, that kind of life quickly gets boring. All the partying, the drinking, the girls... At some point, it all starts to seem colorless and empty...
Unfortunately, that's what happened to my family. One day, they decided to take matters into their own hands, and that is how I ended up "volunteering" to learn how to run a family business. And then...
One spark, and you're inside the storm of madness! As fate would have it, you're already the owner of a small hotel in the middle of a beach-side town. A small, but insanely ambitious hotel. Fitting for someone as ambitious as yourself.
Just think about it...
Tourists burst through the hotel doors. Girls stick to you in droves. Mad cash flowing into your hands... Now stop imagining and snap back to reality, because all of that is just your assumptions about the future.
For now, all you have is just a normal hotel. Inside a dull, boring town. With a bunch of hotties, some of them even in your employment.
It would be cool if your family, surprised by such quick progress and convinced of your talent, let you be free... But... This is your family business and this is just the beginning of your journey...
Can you regain the trust of your family, while becoming an authority for your employees and a chick magnet outside of work?
It's all up to you.
This game is in Early Access.
Regular free updates will be provided to anyone who has already purchased the game."

Return To Grace Gameplay | Indie Puzzle Adventure | Part 3 Ending
A really nice and atmospheric puzzle adventure game came out today and I'm glad I've bought it, because I love games with space exploration. In this game you will play as Adie Ito, a space archaeologist that will have to cooperate with various A.I. personalities to uncover the secrets of why the A.I. God Grace was shut down thousands of years ago. The game's graphics are pleasant, the atmosphere and voice acting are really good, there are a lot of puzzles and a lot of story to uncover. I've really enjoyed this game and I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice relaxing adventure (or who wants to support the dev).
From Steam:
"A daring space archaeologist has just unearthed the ancient resting place of a long lost A.I. god known as Grace. Adventure with various fractured A.I. personalities as you uncover the great mystery of why she was shut down all those years ago.

Must Academy - Season 2 | Gameplay Part 4
I guess this visual novel continues the story of the first Season and it follows the life on James, a young wizard surrounded by the baddest witches you've ever seen. The story is nice, no useless or boring dialogue, the characters don't look that detailed, but they don't look bad either, there are a lot of long scenes with animations and it takes a lot of time to finish the game. I recommend to buy this game if you are fans of the genre or just to support the dev!

Forbidden Dojo Gameplay | Indie Visual Novel | New Update | Part 2
*Some new content has been released with the new update!
This new visual novel is still in early access and the devs promises more updates and features in the future. For now the game focuses heavy on the story (too heavy I would say lol) and some explicit scenes in which you can choose only between hand and foot lol. The characters look detailed, the script is well written and it has that dojo/martial-arts feeling if you are interested in it. Personally I feel like it is a bit expensive (compared to other visual novels and their content) but maybe the dev will really update this in the future with more content. In this state the game takes about an hour to complete.
From Steam:
"Embark on an erotic journey where the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. In this sensual visual novel, you are caught between two beautiful and deadly warriors, each with their own unique allure. With each choice you make, the story will unfold, revealing a tale of passion and intrigue.

The stunning artwork, lush landscapes, and intricate characters will immerse you in a world of ancient beauty and sensual mystery. As you delve deeper into the story, you'll encounter a cast of intriguing characters, each with their own unique personalities, motivations, and desires.
As you navigate this exotic world, you'll be faced with choices that will shape the outcome of the story. Will you succumb to the temptations of the martial arts master, whose expertise in the art of seduction is unmatched? Or will you be lured in by the magic-wielding beauty, whose alluring power will leave you breathless?
Experience the thrill of martial arts and magic, as you explore this captivating world of sensual delight. With explicit ****** scenes and a narrative that will leave you begging for more, Forbidden Dojo is the ultimate journey of self-discovery and forbidden love. Get ready to enter a world of pure desire and indulge in a tale that will leave you breathless.

The story is interesting, there are a lot of characters and a lot of choices to make, the dialogue is not filled with nonsense, it actually has some funny jokes and the animations are really good. In this game you are going to play as Aiden and help him get through the rough patch that he's currently experiencing. Not only that his long-time girlfriend cheated on him, but now Aiden has problems with money and he also needs to find a new place to live after being evicted from his last apartment.
