Jan. 2025

A great experience with beautiful music and visuals.

For some reason I thought this had a more game-play element than a visual novel. Nonetheless I'm really curious where this is going and enjoying the story so far. It's also a great way to wind down in the evening.

Jan. 2025

A charming and whimsical take on Melbourne coffee culture and the afterlife. A visual novel with light interaction in environments between chapters. Definitely worth checking out!

Sept. 2024

slightly hit and miss in places and a myriad of typos, but repeatedly poignant where it matters. the authors care a great deal about people, and in particular about humans as humans. it writes very lovingly about peoples flaws and knows how to translate the nuanced mask of comedy and honesty into a dialogue format. i was in particular enamoured with the fisherman memory and the ending of the main story. the trope of passing on is handled well. sometimes tries to come across as a bit too profound where it's not, other times tries to use humour as a mask for the ability to just say things it knows are not profound but that it believes anyway, but who cares. the side stories (note: i don't mean the memories with this) did not do much for me.; one of them kind of felt like one big self-insert, which i guess is fine? i don't know, strikes a bad chord with me whenever i sense it. it's really short and it's well-made, maybe a little lacking on creativity and new things, but definitely well-worth your time if you're into this kinda juju. or was it mojo? very tiring to imagine everyone speaking with an australian accent all the time

April 2024

Original, genuinely well-written, interestingly structured game. It's a 3D visual novel with an associated collection of short stories which you unlock as you progress through the main story. The characters are vibrant, and the dialogue artfully mixes verisimilitude with an unconventional supernatural setting. The intentionally low-poly character models are expressive in a way I don't often see, and the soundtrack is great. The main story is good, but there were times when it felt aimless or a little hollow. In general, I like stories that don't spell things out unnecessarily, but this one leans maybe too heavily on characters cryptically discussing something the player does not fully understand as a way to create suspense. But, again, it's well-written overall, and there's a lot of engaging side-content. PSA: if long meditations on death and mortality make you sad, anxious, or uncomfortable, maybe give this one a miss.
