So far it's very good. Curious to see the combat gameplay. FPS on my 10 year old laptop is not great, but that's to be expected I guess

Really interesting game that manages to pull off exactly what it wanted to be. Since the whole game is portrayed in audio they leaned in so much on its quality, it is bafflingly good! The cues, the backgrounds, the story, and best of all the characters are done at the highest level of quality. Love it all! If you want to try something new and be more immersed in a video game than you ever have, get this game.

This is a Good game with a capital g. Be there for a stranger and receive kind words if you could use some yourself.

THE game to play on VR. Especially check out how to add custom songs. It adds a lot of content.

Great traditional rogue-like with a neat possession mechanic. You possess enemies to learn their abilities, which makes for very varied gameplay in all stages of a playthrough. You feel powerful when you master enemy types and combine their different abilities in your standard imp form.
The game also features a fun sidekick character called Mid, (who always calls you Boss), which gives the game additional charm with funny quips and helpful tips.

This game was released in 2006 by EasyGameStation at the Comiket in Japan. The same group that made Recettear An Item Shop's Tale. It was translated and brought to Steam by Carpe Fulgur in 2011.

In this game you play a little anime girl with her fairy sidekick sister. You adventure through dungeons, defeating enemies with sword and magic attacks. Of course this reminds you of Zelda and it plays a bit like one. It focuses much more on combat though, akin to a Ys-type of game. The game features a blend of 2D sprites in a 3D world, which works surprisingly well. I had some issues with aiming in the beginning, but that worked itself out after a while.

The magic system is the central part of the gameplay. You use different colored gems to cast fire, water, wind and earth spells. These gems are used in the order you pick them up from the ground, but when you hold the cast button longer you use up to three gems at once. This way various different colored gems can be combined and produce different spells. This make for quite the deep system and keeps the combat interesting. ♥♥♥♥ earth though. Those gems are worthless.

There are no levels, so you only improve through your items. This makes the game faster and removes the grind you have in typical JRPGs. Upon death a Game Over screen pops up, but you just respawn at the town, which makes dying forgiving. That is needed though, because you will die a lot.

I actually had a lot of fun with the story, especially the characters. I don't know if it is thanks to the translation or source, but there are some really funny lines in there. I recommend this game, if you like some oldschool dungeoning.

It's a pure strategy title and by fully embracing their limits it does everything right. The goal is simple, transporting little passenger blocks to their desired stations. The UI is simple, dragging subway paths along the stops and adding carts on existing lines. At the start of every week you can choose between one of two upgrades. That's basically it. The depth? Surprisingly complex. With the ever increasing number of stations that you have to connect to your network and the ability to add new lines, the game gets ever more challenging. To solve this you can choose many different strategies, and even derive from real world subways. Star shaped, circle, checkerboard? Everything is possible (though not always efficient).

The game is still in development and lacks certain important features, such as sound. If you don't mind you should buy it right now! Otherwise it is planned to be released in November 2014.

This game is a great reimagining of the classic 'Princess Maker' series.
Great slow-paced gameplay where all decisions you make will have an effect on the intricate story. Death and betrayal looms at every corner in this almost rogue-like fluffy-pink game of thrones.

Great VN with an exceptional story and terrific characters.

But one problem: it's way too short! Barely 2 hours and feels more like an introduction to a bigger story.

After all it is only "episode 1", so there might be more content being made.
