Looking up I see only a ceiling

Another short visual novel/point-and-click with a few QTEs scattered around. Missing the QTEs will mostly give you the bad endings. The game also has 2 DLCs with their own stories (Relapse and The Recall), the last one being more of a teaser for their new game. The format is interesting, long and small. It adds to the particular atmosphere of...

Unquiet Grey

Endysis makes Visual Novels, most of them short and free. And I love them all. I already talked about Trail of Stars on this blog. Unquiet Grey is another one of them, free again. You can buy a supporter pack, which does have some short stories and other content. The story of Unquiet Grey was beautiful and well told. It...

Amnesia : Memories

Young adult me really wanted to read this visual novel. But also, young adult me never managed to put her hands on the PSP version. Then the game came out on windows, but I didn’t have a Windows. Sad me. Even later, the game came out on steam, and past me bought it in sales for nothing, with the conviction...

Soji Shimada –The Tokyo Zodiac Murders

The Tokyo Zodiac Murders is a must read for the Honkaku genre. It did, in fact, start the Shin Honkaku movement in the 1980s. It is a very entertaining read, even though somewhat convoluted. I liked the fact that everything happens years after the actual murders, when most people implicated have already passed away due to old age. The author...

Yukito Ayatsuji – The Decagon House Murders

Some time ago, I bought some classical Japanese mystery books. The honkaku genre interested me, but, alas!, as it is with to-read-piles, you buy books and then time passes before you remember that hey, that specific one is in it. My father watched the old Hercule Poirot movies recently when I visited and it kinda got me into the mystery...

Rose of Winter

Going through my backlog is very interesting since Steam has such great deals sometimes that you buy more than you can play if you do not pay attention (I did not pay attention some years ago). I do not know when exactly I bought this, I only do know that I did not pay more than 1 or 2 bucks...

Trail of Stars

From the same developer as It Paints me, Trail of Stars is another short free visual novel. It is a short romantic visual novel and a bittersweet story of first love between two squires, a girl and a boy, in medieval time. It is also a prequel to their upcoming visual novel The Last Winter Knight. The visuals are nice,...

Uketsu – Strange Houses

Strange Houses has an interesting premise: our protagonists look at the floor plans of some house and realise that the whole thing feels off. It then continues to spiral out of control. The idea is interesting, but the execution is a bit weird. We begin in “there is a weird useless space” to “this is a murder house where an...

Neil Gaiman – Stardust

I’ve never really read much of Gaiman’s work for some reason. I’ve seen lots of movies about his books, though. So I figured Stardust is as good as a beginning as every other Gaiman book. I’ve loved the film when I was 18, it is not too long, a nice book to begin the yearly reading challenge. The book was...
