Heyyyy it’s meeee again
Ceress and Orea isn’t a VN—it’s a straight RPGmaker title, though with lovely art and music. It’s a sweet little game that lacks a certain sumthin’ to really push it over the top, but as it stands now it’s a perfectly fine little romp.
You play as Ceress, a bodyguard cast down a waterfall to death for falling in love with the woman she was guarding. Ceress claws her way out of the purgatory she finds herself in to get back to her love. A sweet, uncomplicated story that made my gay little hard very happy.
The game is fairly straightforward, and the puzzles—such that they are—aren’t much. There are memories to collect that you can miss that show Ceress and Orea’s history together.
In all honesty, I wish the game was twice as long. The bones here are choice, there’s just not enough meat on them. As it stands now it’s not particularly filling, just decently nice. If you’re starved for genuine wlw content (like me!), though, it’ll go fine.
Next up: I also don’t want me to be posting as much as I’m posting. Will RNGesus give me a longer game?
…. “3 to 6 hours to beat depending on how you play.” Guess not!
See you soon… er than you might expect!
edit: Oh my god. I know. I know why it’s giving me all these short games to annoy the shit out of you guys, my friends.
It’s because I disobeyed the will of RNGesus back after I finished Seduce Me 2. It told me to play Demonheart, but I disobeyed. And now… I’m paying the price.
Forgive me…!
Oh you angered RNGesus. Well I think its great seeing so many updates. Always a joy coming onto this site and seeing a new post by anyone but especially someone I’ve talked to
God I hope I shake off its wrath soon. Maybe I need to actually play Demonheart and then I’ll be free?
n_n I’m glad you like the updates!
Just coming through to also add that I enjoy reading the updates and I absolutely did not mind seeing so many ^^
<333 Thank you, MouseWithBeer. I just want to be considerate, but I’m glad I’m in the clear c:
I have decided to stop lurking to concur with the others - your updates look sleek and clean, and for now it seems you’re the most frequent (and possibly diligent?) assasin here - is it just me, or is BLAEO not getting much traffic at the moment?
Awww, Hiroko, thank you.
BLAEO explodes in activity around the beginning/end of every month, because most people prefer to do big monthly posts rather than posts-per-game. I won’t retain that image of posting frequently for long - once I dig into a longer game and VN, I’ll disappear for a couple weeks (like in February/December!)
Oooh, I see - that’s why my first post had people reading it, haha :D Now that I’ve come back and decided to do this for real, I think monthly updates will be most suited to my play style - I’ve already wrapped up quite a few games in March, let’s see how that continues ^^ That being said, I do like variety and it seems you’re here to provide it. Good luck on conquering that backlog!
Yes! Hell yes! Hell fuckin yes! You, too!
We can do things differently, but we’re still doing them together!
We’re all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We’re all stars
And we see that
…uhm, I mean, yes. Yes. May our backlogs be conquered one of those days.
Don’t you dare bring that back
I escaped High School Musical, I lived through it, don’t you dare bring that back
PFFT like waking a sleeping fucking beast. Oh my god I remember the choreography. Ohhh Hiroko I have to go lay down with a wet washcloth over my eyes
I’m so sorry! not >:) Call me weird, but I never watched the third movie (and I can’t remember anything from the second one… if I ever even watched it full) and only learned the choreography recently in P.E. Wasn’t ever a Disney Channel kid for… reasons… ;w;
Don’t worry, I really enjoy your updates! I don’t think you’re bothering anyone here. Also rpg-maker games are my guilty pleasure so I’ll be adding Ceress and Orea to my wishlist.
Also if you look at the bright side, these short games are helping destroy your backlog faster :P
Aww, stef, thank you c: I want to be considerate, and it seems like I know no moderation - it is 7 games in 6 days or one post every three weeks.
Ceress and Orea is definitely in the upper level of quality in a rpgmaker game, you’ll enjoy it!
Ha! That is very true!
