February 2025 report
We played a lot in February! Continued playing already beaten games for achievements and for fun (not the last time you are gonna see them in the report) so the amount of completed games isn’t anyhow big, but the overall progress was pretty good. ^_^
I went a little insane and purchased a lot of new games… my nice stats turned upside down. Oh well, need to work even harder now.
Enough of small talks and now to the actual assassinations! Good luck in the new month and enjoy your games!
Played on uPlayOne of the best action adventure games! I think I played it soon after its release and I fell in love with it right away. There was just a little problem… tiny, really… I couldn't surpass the final fight where the controls get swapped and rage quitted so hard that it was untouched to this day. The flame of the rage still burning inside me every time I realized what would follow if I decided to play it ever again.
Even though the game felt easier and shorter than I remember (practice makes perfect) the funny thing is that I was close to rage quitting on the same spot yet again… the fight is SO frustrating!!! Hah, but I did it in the end and thus surpassed my long-time archnemesis! 😁
Aside from the ultimate boss fight I love everything about this game! The story is captivating, thrilling, and with some nice twists. The characters are nicely written, and you will easily become attached. The less important characters don't get much of a space to show off but it's still fun to interact with them. Equipped with a camera and dai-jo staff you are safe to explore the various caves, and enemy strongholds the islands have to offer. Even though the staff is a powerful weapon, Jade's camera is maybe even more powerful as with it you will take evidence of a horrendous conspiracy that threatens every peaceful citizen of the planet Hillys. Oh, and you can take with it cute photos of the various animals and creatures lurking around! If you want some more adrenaline you can join hovercraft races and fight for fame&cash! But beware of the bandits that will try to rob you if you roam around the wrong places - you need to be really quick to catch them to get back the loot! Both of the races are challenging and fun.
My only complaint goes to the horrible camera lock during fights and the inability to properly evade enemy attacks. Also, I had a slight problem with the game crashing on me especially when trying to take photos on the water - which resulted in me being unable to collect all photos as the water snake was only at one location where I couldn't leave the hovercraft to take the photo from inland. Luckily the old version doesn't have any achievements… but it still left me heartbroken.
Other than that the game ran smoothly. The visuals are older of course but I enjoyed them, although the photos were pretty blurred. xD The game has a great catchy soundtrack. The voice acting is of a good quality.
All in all, I can only recommend this masterpiece! :3
As the devastating earthquakes leave the cities in disarray, Dr. Ambrose Ink uncovers the location of their mysterious origin - a secluded mountain town Hochwald and its castle under the oppressive rule of the General engineer Barber. Dr. Ink calls for our help but the moment we arrive in the town he gets abducted by an enormous robot! We need to find a way to the heavily guarded castle, save Dr. Ink and stop the mad Barber before he destroys the world!
Short but rather enjoyable steampunk HOG with nice visuals. The story is okay although we don't learn Barber's motivation for the earthquakes - world domination I suppose? After all, he is a German/Prussian soldier… The puzzles and hidden object scenes are varied and of good difficulty, nothing too hard to stuck on. Sometimes I wasn't sure how to progress and had to search available locations for missed items or new hidden object scenes. Voice acting is of standard quality, just beware of some of the villagers - they are simply bizarre. xD
There are collectibles to be found (steambugs) and I really enjoyed collecting them! Aside from admiring their cute looks, you can learn more about them through short funny descriptions. Achievements are portrayed as stained glass, which is also a nice touch. After completing the main game you can continue in the bonus story, which serves as a prequel, and experience Dr. Ink's arrival to the Hochwald town.

March 2025
I only managed to beat one game this month. However I have found some good news on LLSIF. You can create a local server and play the game with the modded apk. Since there are no official events anymore, it’s not an addiction too, which is great. I play whenever I want. Same thing is viable for LLSIF 2 as well, and even easier. Anyway, I hope I can manage more of my backlog next months.
⏵ March mood ♫ ♪ Oh, how I missed Takahashi Hitomi. <3
This game was both great and terrible. It's a buggy mess and it drove me crazy at some points but comparing to many FPS games, the seriousness is top-notch here. It's a simulator so it involves a lot of walking. I loved the pace. They created Limnos and Agios Efstratios islands on 1/1 scale and it sure gives a lot of freedom. I haven't played multiplayer and I'm not interested in it but campaign was something. Though I wanna shoot down who made the level design on episodes. Lack of tutorials and the levels expect you to do things was abysmal. I thought about rage quit and drop the game many times. I didn't because the game has some nice aura, it's fun but can be painful at the same time. There are also a lot of campaign mods so I definitely want to try them some day. And I probably will re-visit this game in the future.
Overall it was a great experience but if you're not really into FPS games, stay away from this. I wish there were many games like this but they are slim to none apparently.
Update 143: March 2025
March went by so fast, I don’t know where time went.
It's a cute and fun action-adventure game. It’s a short but enjoyable experience. The game lets you play as multiple alien forms, each with unique abilities, making combat and puzzle-solving feel fun. It’s not the most challenging game, but I enjoyed it.
It's super chill and fun at first—you get to build these cute little scenes and just vibe. But after a bit, it starts feeling kinda boring, and there’s not much to keep you hooked. Great for a quick creative escape, but don’t expect it to hold your attention for too long.
Just as fun and quirky as the first game. It keeps the weird Twin Peaks-style mystery going strong. The puzzles are mostly easy, though some could definitely use a bit more guidance.
Game was a blast, letting you step into the shoes of the bad guys for once. The story is engaging, and the huge roster of characters with different abilities keeps things fun. That said, it can sometimes be tricky figuring out which ability to use.

Serial Cleaner
- Beyond Blue: Meditative diving game – zero threat, and definitely not simulationist (you have some magic breathing apparatus/suit that eliminates any IRL worries one might have about bends, oxygen use, etc) 6.5/10
- Open Roads: Adventure/object-exploration game. Surprised me in a good way. 8/10
- Wanderlust: Travel Stories: Writing-language is good fluent English, though can be a little preachy - I though it was an Inkle game (80 Days) but it’s from a Polish group. Writing-plotting is very mixed in quality depending on the chapter - one has pretty much half locked away from an early choice. Another is more or less linear and very much feels it. 6/10-7.5/10
- Boxes: Toybox puzzler, slightly more complex than Doors: Paradox overall. Enjoyed it for what it is. 8/10
- A Tale of Paper: 2.5D-ish puzzle-platformer (there must be a more specific genre term for games like this, Limbo, Little Orpheus, Little Nightmares, A Juggler’s Tale, etc where the character is on a journey) - puzzles were pretty good with the mechanics giving a unique experience; platforming/movement was slightly awkward at times. 8/10
- Neversong: Another puzzle-platformer with some lackluster combat. Atmosphere very good. Everything else, mediocre. 6.5
- The Norwood Suite: Surreal mystery/exploration game. In some ways this is nothing like Paradise Killer, in others it is/ 8.5/10
- Old Man’s Journey: Short-but-sweet walker-puzzle game, with more or less extensions of a single mechanic for much of the game. 7/10
- Serial Cleaner: 3/4-down stealth-puzzler. Reasonably good, and deliberately forgiving with most enemies having the memory and intelligence of goldfish (hide in a box in full view of one? no idea where I’ve gone). 7.5/10

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU
2.66 hours playtime
4/19 achievements
Metroidvanias are one of my favourite genres, but this game is in no way close to a favourite metroidvania after a couple of hours’ play, despite advertising some high ratings in its trailer, having some potentially interesting mechanics, and liking the creator (actor Abubakar Selim). There are three sins I’d like to highlight:
- In general, unlocking abilities in Metroidvanias unlocks routes. Three of the most common ones are the double jump, the air dash, and the wall jump. Zau starts out with all three of these already. This is not a game-stopper, but it does reduce the design space available, and a rule of thumb for metroidvanias is that double-jump should not be one of the first abilities obtained.
- Games – and particularly Metroidvanias (with their backtracking) – need a certain density of experience to be/remain interesting. This can be challenging traversal, new routes (including currently inaccessible ones, and unlockable shortcuts), combat (to be accepted or avoided), etc. There’s a one-time forced-combat encounter every so often, but overall I found Zau’s density of experience to be generally incredibly light, even on an initial traversal.
- The worst of the sins: Zau is an unpleasant dickhead. He might become less of one later on, but I don’t care. It helps if a metroidvania protagonist has some level of likability/sympathy/player-identification but it’s not essential. I can’t think of another Metroidvania, however, where I’ve actively disliked the character (in wrestling terms, this is go-away heat and not heel heat).

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!
