I may have enjoyed this too much... Indie visual novels are and will always be some of the most beautiful, emotional, heartfelt, funny, and genuine stories I have ever played. I am very particular about my coffee (and men) #indiegame #coffeetalktokyo #outofcontext #cozygaming Happy Otome Release Day! Birushana Winds of Fate is finally here and the boys are back! It's crazy diving back into this world four years later and finally seeing everyone enjoy their hard fought happily ever after! I'm starting to think my chat loves to see me suffer... they told me to play Trees Hate You and I promise you it's on sight the first tree I see Coffee Talk Tokyo is finally here! This is one of my cozy comfort series... just chill vibes, good convos, and fun cafe drinks. I have a type and it's ✨️ THICC ✨️ Apparently I've been sleeping on Orcs... because the demo for NecOrcMancer has me wanting to expand my romantic prospects. That time I accidentally made my character a little too hot... So, that was your takeaway?!
