  • While I don't have any personal updates for now, I did bring gifts.

    PROJECT MIX, the VR bartending VN I mentioned here before has a Quest 3 demo. Give it a shot if you're interested in a Va-11 Hall-a like experience in VR. It also has a PC demo so try it out if you're on desktop instead.

    Rose Academy, an upcoming indie mystery novel just released a demo on Steam. It's about a young detective sent to investigate a murder at an elite girls' academy.
    Full version planned for March 2026.

    Next, we have Livber: Smoke and Mirrors - an indie psychological horror story with a pretty unique art style.
    Planned release date Oct. 28th 2025, it has a demo for Windows, Mac and Linux available on their Steam page.

    Lastly, JAST USA has an autumn sale until Oct. 8th. Majority of the games are of the ero variety but maybe it'll be of interest to someone.

  • I started playing "YOU and ME and HER". Got it from JastUSA. And it has no DRM.

    Runs perfectly fine on WINE.

    • Oooh, I love the art style. How is the story?

      • I've only played it for a total of 6 hours now, so I can't say much. But from the title of the game, it is supposed to be a love story. Though I feel like it's starting to very subtly lean towards a little bit of psychological horror as well or maybe not.

        I am expecting it to be something like a mix of School days and DDLC with a bit of its own original stuff. I might be totally wrong though, I started playing it completely blindly.
