After a rather inelegant introduction, Kerr states he’s really an Earth Dragon – one of the mystical beasts that inhabit their world, Ishtera. Whether he likes it or not, Auralee is now involved in his mission to regain his dragon form. Along with some help by a fellow dragonkind named Ilmari, their journey begins…

Autumn’s Journey is a short romance visual novel, with two male love interests and three distinct endings.

The Prison Boys looks really interesting. I love the way it looks, and the game itself sounds pretty intriguing too! 😊
It’s definitely an interesting concept, but it’s fun if you like investigation games or mysteries!
Though not much of a romancer of males the other two games seem quite interesting. Might give those a looksie, Prison boys might be nice to play in bed in the mornng to wake up my brain a bit! Lovep oint and clicks as well so might check these out! Thanks again! love these posts!
Oh, what types of games do you usually play? I can try and see if I can find some that are similar for other posts.
I like retro-like games,. . like retro feeling old school titles. Like the vegan shooter for example. But basicly stuff like cave story, shovel knight and the messenger.
Point and clicks are also an all time favorite, and most things that look cute but require a bit more interaction than me reading a dialogue. Stardew Valley, Hat in Time Yooka Layle along those lines usually 🙂
Definitely noted! I’ll try and dig up some for this week’s post.
