The Sad Story of Emmeline Burn
This is a short Yuri Visual Novel done by Ebi-Hime who did Asphyxia (one of my favorite games I played last year) and is actually kind of sad. Similar to Asphyxia, it has real life aspects that teach the reader about themselves and connections to the characters of the VN. The sad fate of what happens to the characters and what suffering they went through can help readers realize new ways to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Well worth the read and it is FREE.
Orion: A Sci-Fi Visual Novel
A short Sci-Fi adventure dealing with Space/Time Travel with some decent Artwork and Music. The story is mediocre but I only partially enjoyed it. I did not go for all the endings and since you have to get all endings to get the true ending, I probably will not ever see the ending. The artwork for the stationary images are very well done and help set some of the scenes. The music is also decent with a few catchy songs that I actually enjoyed. Both the art and music are the only thing that probably kept me going through the story. I do not know if I would recommend, but it is not terrible either.
Last Days of Spring Visual Novel
A short last week of high school story about trying to figure out what to do with your future and maybe forming a love interest at the end of the whole event. The story is average with some interesting moments, but not very life changing. The music and art are fair for what the story is trying to tell, but nothing really jumped out to me.
Broken Dreams
A short puzzle/platformer that follows a young lover in search of his one love (with a sad ending). The game mechanic is pretty cool and is actually enjoyable to use when it does not bug off. This was not a bad game, but had some issues. Plus it is apparently similar to other games I have never played or even heard about.
Cally's Trials
Not as good as Cally's Caves 3, but adds some changes that make the game decent. I would still recommend Cally's Caves 3 over this, but if you want to see some of the origin story of the game and the characters, then it would not hurt.
Storm of Spears
A slightly buggy, yet decent RPG about overcoming the tyranny of a kingdom. The minor bugs are not to problematic, but some of the combat stuff is a little off. Being able to paralyze almost every (if not every) boss, making the fights pretty much useless and easy. The spell stuff is decent, but does less damage than just attacking. Not really organized as a class based RPG. The story and music are also decent and I did enjoy playing the game. It just may not appeal to everyone.

I really enjoyed Narcissu and this game, done by the same creator, brings a slightly lighter touch to the sad genera of life's misfortunes. The story is based on Mizu no Marginal light novel and is more a prequel to that story and helps set up the beginning to the series. The sad story comes to a happy ending and makes the Visual Novel worth the read.
The second installment in the Dark Witch game series. More improvements and game play added to make for an even more enjoyable experience than the previous version. The game is very addicting to me and I keep coming back to it and trying different styles of game play. Another fun 3DS game.
A Very sweet Yuri Visual Novel about how two girls struggled through their emotions and daily lives in order to become best of friends/lovers. There are not many Yuri novels out there (more are coming out, but not in bulk) and I really enjoy these kinds of stories. It gives me hope that I will one day also be able to find my significant other. :)
A very sad and beautiful story about self identification that brings out the best and worst in people. The game is very well done and has some great visuals, music, and VA. For a game inspired and mostly done by one individual, this is one of the greatest games that needs to be played during the new millennium era. More than likely will make my top ten games this year :).
A very pleasant and sad short story about helping out an injured bird overcome the path to flight. It had some sad moments, but was a very good well done story.
A complex week by week simulator Visual Novel that puts you in the role of an up and coming queen. These choose your classes/skills/learning simulators seem to not have a fond memory with me and tend to be a little more work and not as fun as they would seem. The story would be fairly good if there were choice paths that were simpler than choosing what classes to take that may end up leading to many attempts of failure. I probably would have enjoyed it more if it were a little simpler and had fewer failure events.
Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt. A short, rpg/bullet hell shooter game where you go around and heal people from their pains and miseries. It is free and is not terrible. Just a short basic game.
A very cute and wonderful game about exploring different ideas from history and learning the truth about what actually happened through the surrounding objects in the world. The music is really nice and pleasant to listen to while you solve minor puzzles that will make you think you are stupid for not thinking the easy solution first. The first level was a little laggy and buggy and caused some problems (apparently others have similar issues) but once you get going into other levels, it actually starts running smoother and is a lot more fun. Definitely worth trying and enjoying this short game.
Hyper Drive Edition on Wii U. I really enjoyed Mighty Flip Champions on the PS3 so I thought I would enjoy this and the 2nd one. At first I was having problems with it, but I ended up working with the game and partially enjoying it. I did not really like it when games force you to Par time on stages in order to advance through the game. I did manage to actually par some stages in order to unlock the rest of the game and even unlock the Hyper Stages. Yet, I just can not enjoy it as much as Mighty Flip Champions :(.
It is nice seeing a female rescuing the male in a game. Granted the game is a little sexist with its mechanics and such. Yet, the game is not completely terrible and had some interesting puzzles and ideas set into the game. The mechanics may have been a bit sexist but actually help the character solve puzzles and work through the game. I definitely enjoyed it and still play it here and there.
