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...

1000xResist

My first game of 2026, yay! As already said in my games from 2025 list, I’ve finished the game already, but I wanted all the achievements, so all the different endings. I was somewhat too lazy, because it is not that hard to get them. They all diverge at the same ending point. Anyway, I did it. 1000xResist is a...

Jo Ann Beard – The Fourth State of Matter

I stumbled upon this essay by pure chance. Not being American, I also had no clue what it was about. At first, I was convinced this was an essay about break ups and old dogs, separation and death. I was not prepared for what was to come. It is a powerfull read. Well put together. A must read, surely. There...

Coffee Talk

I played the first Coffee Talk a while ago, and I’ve fond memories of it. There is nothing fancy about Coffee Talk: you play as a barista that opens his coffee shop in the evening for the night people of Seattle. Your best client is Freya, a soon-to-be writer who tries to finish her book. It is a visual novel...

Hannah Kaner – Faithbreaker (Fallen Gods)

The last book in the series. Thank god. This was bad. There is not much more I can say, because it was really just that bad. Everything I liked about the first one thrown away to play war. Without plot, without anything. I couldn’t even care about the death of my favorite character. You can breeze through this book and...
