March 2025 Progress Report
Failed my New year’s resolution to play 4 games every month! Yay!
I ended up getting the time wrong for a lot of things, and then I got super into HZD: Forbidden West and miscalculated. The VN I was supposed to finish as my 4th game, which was supposed to be about 10 hours, is turning out to be more like 20! The original VN I intended to play had a bad English translation so, I failed twice lol. I’ll do 5 games this April to make up for it and get back on track! I liked the games I played this month, Spilled was a last-second addition as it was brand new and Immediately gained my interest, Togainu no chi was shockingly good, and Jusant was a nice lil’ post-apocalyptic game I may end up playing again, despite not having a high replay value.
Next month, I’m planning on finishing Forbidden west and Canvas Menagerie, not sure about the other games but possibly Copycat? And something else? I’ll figure it out.
Dog update: Everyone is suspiciously ok. Cautiously optimistic.
Total games added to backlog: 2
Total completed: 3
Arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, Akira is the prime suspect of a murder in a corrupt country that doesn’t need justification to put someone away for the rest of their life. The only way to avoid his unjust sentencing is to accept the request of two suspicious individuals – Go to the lawless city of Toshima, participate in a life-or-death game, and try to kill the mysterious man behind it. II Re.
15 – 30 hours to complete, Togainu no Chi is a fully-voiced LGBTQ+ set in a dystopian world about child soldiers abandoned in orphanages after the abrupt end of WW3, rending Japan into three segmented areas. The military government of the East, the CFC; the government political union of the West, Nikkouren; and Toshima, a lawless abandoned city between the two rivals, where most of the story takes place. Overall, it’s a fairly dark novel that I highly recommend. Created in 2005, there was no English translation until JAST Blue developed one in 2020, finally bringing this (now updated!) popular dark fantasy to Western audiences. If you’re still not sold on Togainu no Chi, I seriously suggest you try their most popular translation, DRAMAtical Murder. An uncensored patch for both games on Steam is also available on their website, and it’s pretty simple to apply.
Jusant
Jusant is a 5 – 10+ hour rock-climbing fantasy game about scaling an absolutely massive tower that used to hold a large civilization in a post-apocalyptic world. Explore empty cities and find out why everyone either died off or left as you follow the anchors of a previous climbing group, trying desperately to scale to the top of the spire even as the population fled on foot across the desert. With only a baby Ballast as a companion, take your time, plan your paths, and make it to the top to hopefully find whatever it is, you’ve been searching for.
I just want to start by saying it’s impossible to fall to your death. You cannot die in this game, and it’s not difficult to learn despite the semi-manual climbing experience. While the game offers alternative pathing and some hidden locations, it was more linear than I anticipated. Overall, I had a very positive experience; your companion is adorable, the story is interesting, the game mechanics are fun and there is no rush. Jusant a beautiful and unique experience with various landscapes, and even with the dizzying heights I had a fun time exploring and looking at the ecology, which was different at each level of the tower. There are some minimal gripes, such as the game being auto-save only and only having to start at the beginning of each chapter if you missed a collectible; and despite unlocking short-cuts, those get reset if you re-play a chapter which defeats the purpose of having them in the first place. Regardless, Jusant is an easy recommendation and I highly suggest not missing out on this experience. There are color-blind modes available as well as an anti-dyslexia font in the settings!
1-2 hours to complete, Spilled! Is a short and casual ocean cleanup game about a little boat doing its best to keep the environment clean, and a larger boat causing all the trouble! Collect and recycle plastic waste, contain and clean oil spills from the water’s surface, extinguish fires, rescue animals, and collect points to purchase upgrades. It’s a pretty satisfying game with pleasant before and after screenshots, nice to check out in an lazy afternoon, with easy to manage controls.
Overall, Spilled is a very simple game with a very special message about ocean conservation efforts and keeping an environment clean and beautiful. There are several areas to explore, each unlocking a new skill or tool, and you really get a positive feeling that even small actions can have a big impact! The only real con I can think of is that it’s so short to complete! While you can re-do any chapter and area you want, there isn’t much in terms of replayability though the graphics are adorable and gave me warm fuzzy feelings. Highly recommended!

Progress report: March ‘25 (a.k.a. Cloon… and… Refrooshed?)
Couldn’t think of anything else for the title. (lol)
I went on a cross-country trip for a (near) week-long therapy retreat! Think it’s safe to say that I wasn’t able to consciously introduce its ways into my life after coming back (I am, after all, only a weak little human bean), but at least I am now aware of the tools available!
I’m still trying to get back into the groove of things, but for now, here’s what I got done in March:
Title means it was meant to be played in March. Literally nothing insightful to say about this one. The meows sound weird to me.
This one was decently challenging. Still, an understandably hard sell due to its fetish content.
A cute little 3D puzzle game where you get to unscramble city dioramas. Relaxing rather than challenging, as all you need to do is put all the pieces in predetermined positions, which you can check up on whenever you want. Pieces in correct positions lock in, saving the player from a potential headache, especially on later levels. If you're looking for something with more emphasis on creativity, this may not be the game for you, but I enjoyed it for what it was. I tried to do some memorizing myself, but the levels quickly grew in size, making it too much trial-and-error without help. After nine or so levels, I started using the Steam guide (only bringing up the in-game hint would have been too much work, but I still needed to do it on top of checking the guide) and I'm glad I did, since what initially seemed like a two hour game ended up taking five!
I knew I'd have to play this one soon when I noticed it's being advertised as a story inspired by Nancy Meyers' movies; I just watched Something's Gotta Give for the first time last month and found it decently enjoyable. Pardon my lack of familiarity with her other movies (I'm looking forward to rectifying that in the near future), but the similarities between Love in the Glen and Something's Gotta Give are only found in the "elite" and "stylish" setting, Dr Seiji Mimura looking like Dr Julian Mercer (as much as the art style allows, I suppose) and the age gap between the main character, Zoe and her new assistant, Michael, giving her pause (if only for a split second.)
I let myself have a bit of hope for this one precisely due to this comparison, but really, it's all standard Sapphire Dragon Productions proceedings.
Everything is small talk, which means no character gets any substantial development, but you're better off not wishing for development anyway because things always happen unusually fast. No character has their own distinct voice; they all say "cool" or "awesome" if they don't have anything else to contribute to their conversation partner, as if just changing the subject would imply they left them hanging. Still, there are some things that come out of nowhere, like Michael's confession about his preference for "cougars" (unprofessional at best, harassment at worst) or even the fact that, if you don't pursue him, he always ends up dead from a drunk driving accident. Speaking of romantic pursuit, if you don't feel like the game gives Zoe's initial relationship time to breathe, you definitely will not find any of the available paths to be satisfying, either. Everything just happens because the devs decided it's a romance, so it must.
Even though reading Sapphire Dragon Productions' VNs always reminds me why I'm not a writer in my own right, I have to ask… if you watched Something's Gotta Give and still can't figure out how to write a character at least half as charming as Dr Julian Mercer… what are we doing here?
Oh, and I guess there's also a dumb little match-3 minigame that simulates working. I can't even be mad about it, it practically plays itself half the time. I was more confused by the fact that too much skipping dimmed all the backgrounds, for some reason.
Only one more game from Sapphire Dragon Productions left to go in my backlog.
An old gift from my dear friend Saku; so old, in fact, that it has since been removed from the store and republished (I don't know whether anything has been changed in the republished version or not, as I own the original one.)
This is the story of You - no, not you as in you, the player - You, the thirty-year-old, perpetually sleep-deprived workaholic with a penchant for caffeine. It's not a Japanese name, either; he really is named "You", like the pronoun, and no one really questions it over the course of the game. It's an interesting enough premise, but as I've come to realize, sooner rather than later, it serves no real purpose. If you're European, male, in your thirties, a workaholic, a caffeine lover and often find yourself sleep-deprived, perhaps you'll find it easy to see yourself within You; of the qualities I listed, only one applies to me, and so if naming the main character You was supposed to be a point of confusion, to make me feel as if our identities are blending together… suffice it to say, it didn't work at all.
You's story is short, a mere three work days before his well-deserved vacation, but the truth about his life is spread across fourteen (!) different endings. Well, "the truth" is a stretch… he's sleep-deprived due to being a lucid dreamer, which would explain some of the inconsistencies within the story. He's also said to have some sort of a chronic illness, which is implied to be the reason for his miserable and stressed-out way of being. In one of the endings, it's revealed to have been misdiagnosed as physical, when it is actually mental, with the distress regarding You's condition being its main cause, which I found satisfactory, though I would have appreciated another ending where it remains physical and light is shed on what it is… but maybe that's just because I wanted to relate more.
Visually, My Name is You is very nice, emulating the look of an old silent movie (though I fail to see how that relates to the story.) The game is fully voiced in both Russian and English. I can't speak for the Russian voiceover, but the English VA has a pleasant voice and modulates his voice well enough to act out each and every character.
In the end, to me, the story of You remains confusing and unfinished… but the dev's later works have gotten more praise, so I'm looking forward to checking them out in the future.
Exactly What It Says On The Tin™️; after a drunken night out, you wake up in a stranger's bed and have to figure out the right way to proceed. By simply looking around her bedroom, you can figure out just enough to make her like you or too much for her to let you stay any longer than you already have. It's just one of those little games where referencing any particular event would be spoiling the fun. I don't know why, but the environmental storytelling does it for me in this game. I also love the rotoscoped animation (even if it does make skipping through previously seen text sluggish.) Looking forward to trying the dev's second game sometime in the future.
Travel to 1978, Italy and step into the shoes of Lella, a woman who one day decides to leave Rome and drive down the roads of the famous Via Aurelia. In this narrative adventure/driving game mashup, every playthrough lasts about 15-25 minutes and with sixteen different endings, there's a lot to see.
…but really, now. After my initial playthrough lasting, let's say, 25 minutes, each next one would be significantly shorter because I've already seen most of it. Heck, some playthroughs would last less than 10 minutes. To add insult to injury, if you get any new achievements at the end of a run, you have to quit the game altogether for the unlocks to trigger. Eventually, it's not so much about the choices you make while talking as it is about your driving skills when it comes to unlocking the last few achievements. 15 minutes might not sound like a long time, but it's a painfully long amount of time to spend on a run that might not even come out right because you didn't drive the car fast enough. I'm nope-ing out for now because all that's left to do is stuff that can be failed way too easily. (EDIT: I have now unlocked all of the achievements. Patience is key; feel free to ignore all the dialogue prompts and never let go of Space/Enter. Still wish dialogue choices were more important.)
I see the vision and the soundtrack slaps, but at the end of the day, I can't vouch for Wheels of Aurelia.
See you next month! :)

March 2025 Report!
Here goes March! A very Roguelike-flavoured month.
Finished Dead Estate finally! Then bought Enter the Gungeon in Spring Sale and promptly fell into another time-consuming Roguelike. And now it’s Dreamscaper’s turn, which I won on SG. I’ll take a break from Roguelikes after that.
In-between I played TOEM, Inscryption and Ittle Dew! Those were very nice.
Mini Thief dev fixed the achievements not triggering issue, so went back to get few I missed. Not a replay so not a new Beaten either.

I actually played costume quest for my mum and bro and they liked it so I will be keeping an eye out on games that I can do for my family. Funnily enough I downloaded bluey on game pass cuz it wasn’t in a bundle before so I never owned it and then it comes out on hb and it was like are you serious. That game has caused so much drama that I had to uninstall it without being able to try it but now I get to try it on my steam
Being the 3rd month I would normally do a progress bar but I’ve decided I will go for 4 months from now on so its 3 a year instead of 4
Favourite of the month goes to Dordogne. I managed to win this game and its really nice. Going back and forth between the past and present it was all good. I mean I liked sally face alot but the ending just pushed it below
