Thrifty Gaming: Games That Won’t Blow Your Budget #57

Thrifty Gaming

Hey there Heroes, Travelers, and Wandering NPCs, it’s once again that special time of the week—Thrifty Thursday!

In a world where it’s all about the almighty dollar, sometimes it’s a little tough to make our pennies stretch enough to accommodate our hobbies. But, there are plenty of ways to balance your budget while still enjoying the things you love, you just have to be a little thrifty about it. So, I created Thrifty Gaming in order to spotlight some lesser known indie titles that are both entertaining an affordable.

If you’re a new follower or someone who has been following since my Nice Job Breaking It Hero days and have been gone for awhile, here’s a refresher… Thrifty Gaming, is a weekly post series where I spotlight three games/visual novels that are under $10.00. These can be mobile games, PC games, and a few times I have found some nice indie console titles too. The list used to focus on just otome games and romance visual novels, but after requests from a few readers I have since expanded to other gaming genres. I don’t include sales or limited time offers, each title has to be consistently priced at $10.00 or less without any promotions to be included in this line up.

This week’s post will include a brief synopsis and links to each game so you can add them to your gaming library! You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy your hobbies, so save a little bread and check this week’s thrifty gaming picks!

  1. Six Cats under, the way you described it reminded me a bit of Ghost Trick, Phantom Detective! I loved that game so I will check this one out as well!

    1. I had the same thought when I saw it too! I actually had Ghost Trick on this week’s list… and then I checked and I covered it awhile ago XD

  2. I’m really looking forward on Ever Forward getting a switch release(I think they announced it during the NG+Expo couple of days ago). The game premise looks really interesting! ..and Six Cats Under looks really cute! I will have to check this out! Thanks for this post!

    1. The art looks great and the premise is pretty cool. Six Cats Under is very cute, a lot of people have commented that it’s like Ghost Trick (which I loved)

Gush about cute otome boys~
