    Review – Bear and Breakfast

    Running a chain of hotels while also being a bear is a pretty enticing concept. There's potential for maulings, but the goal is to be a bit more wholesome and relaxing. Weirdly, while Cult of the Lamb is a lot less wholesome, it manages to be more relaxing than Bear and Breakfast.

    Review – Mutant Football League

    Football is the dumbest of sports. Now that I have your attention, I don't really like football. I've tried. But even the blitziest of Blitzes didn't grab my goat horns. As it turns out, there is a way to get me to play football. Mutant Football League taught me.

    Review – Cult of the Lamb

    Not only will you get a review of Cult of the Lamb, you'll also get to hear about my family's adjacency and weird run in with an actual scary cult, the Ant Hill Kids. I'm not sure that many critics out there could really provide you with that perspective.

    Review – Turok

    If you were there for the early days of the N64, it was hard to miss Turok. The first-person shooter was still relatively new, and one that was all polygons? Even newer. There isn't much else to play, there's a dinosaur on the cover; welcome to Turok.

    Review – La-Mulana

    Completing La-Mulana without a guide is a feat of strength. That's probably why I couldn't do it. After an unsuccessful run some years ago, I tried again on another console and with a begrudged willingness to get outside help. It went a lot better this time.

    Review – Star Wars: Episode 1: Racer

    Episode I was a travesty, and I accept no arguments. On the plus side, we got some great games. My favourite is Star Wars: Episode I: Racer, based on that stupidly ostentatious scene from the movie. So much suggests this game would be bad, but it's quite the opposite.

    Dating Adzuken – Pub Encounter

    Taking a diversion from the normal schoolday dating sims, it's time to look at a romantic visual novel with real men. By which I mean, anime men that are old enough to legally drink. I don't know if maturity is what I'm looking for, because goodness knows I'm lacking in that department.

    Review – River City Girls

    I love the Nekketsu/Kunio-Kun/Downtown/River City series. It is forever my jam. However, I have noted that my gender is largely under-represented in the series. That’s fine. Kunio-Kun is the main character after all. But all of his buddies are male and rarely do you get the chance to play as one of his female school chums. The only past example…

    Review – KukkoroDays

    I never would have expected an ecchi visual novel to leave a lasting impact on me, but TroubleDays somehow found a way to worm its way into my mind and take up residence. It wasn’t necessarily for its dirtiness, though it is, at the very least, adjacent to my interests. Rather, it was because it was just a cute romance.…

    Dating Adzuken – Nicole

    I really wasn't expecting anything to top Iris School of Wizardry in dark turns, but somehow Nicole found a way. I'm not new to having a game make me feel uncomfortable, but it's always unfortunate when it happens. I don't even think it was intentional with Nicole, it just happened.
