Welcome to my Steam profile!


I play games yeah, mainly visual novels and jrpgs I'm a scrub but not much else. I consider myself a bit of a VN guru, though that's just because I've built up a collection of VNs and figured I'd give my two cents. I'm not a bragger either, so don't worry. You'll find reviews here for some of the VNs I've played/recommend, so if you're new to playing VNs, give it a look!

The games included in my lower "games collection" list are visuals novels that I strongly recommend for new people getting into visual novels. I believe they have good stories, are easy to get into as a beginner, are very immersive, or many other reasons that I won't spoil. Feel free to give them a look and try them out if they interest you!

Channels I recommend for VN information/reviews/etc:

I'm also considering becoming a VN video creator (not let's player) at some point, so maybe look out for that soon. :sonya_sd:

I recommend this visual novel!

It has great story, nice characters, and an interesting mystery to it as well. It's fairly linear, but has a little extra post-game content for after you reach the game's ending. The game is also fully voice acted. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a more story-rich VN!
Review Showcase
I strongly recommend this VN!

Pleasing art, engaging story, immersive music, and multiple character routes. This VN has it all. If you're looking for a post-apocalyptic survival with tense atmosphere, psychological horror elements, and puzzle solving (or anything that has the name "Zero Escape"), you'll enjoy what this VN has to offer.

Talking about the music in particular, I got vibes from both Corpse Party and I Walk Among Zombies. It could just be a coincidence, but I wouldn't be surprised if one (or multiple) of the music directors involved in this game also worked for either of those two games.
Extended profile/More about Me
ABOUT ME
BIO

Hey there! I'm Pivot, though I sometimes go by Piv, Pivvy, Pivoy, Pervit, and so forth. I'm MTF transgender, although online I'm more bigender. I'm also a gray-aromantic, have high-functioning autism, and have the sign Virgo.

I'm a digital artist, creative writer, and game developer "jack of multiple trades, master of none." On my Steam profile, you'll primarily be seeing my interest in visual novels (VNs), as I consider myself a bit of a VN guru. I'm not a bragger though, so try not to roll your eyes.

On a more personal level, I tend to switch a lot, though some of my consistent traits include being casual, slow-witted (think brawn), occasionally perverted, a workaholic, and "in the moment" (in other words, I usually only care about the then and now).

I love using underrated characters and/or skill trees, just for the fun of it. I rarely spend enough time dedicated to a single game to really put people on their asses, though. I like Touhou and other bullet hells similar to it, enjoy psychological horror :stress:, love collecting/playing visual novels and learning about the industry surrounding them, and apparently really like blonde anime girls, according to my track record. :nix:

Anything else you'd like to know, I recommend checking below. Thanks for reading!
