A cute and interactive short story. I had fun playing it, and you get the hang of it quickly and what it wants from you

Bought this game for a little over 1€ and, even if I had bought it at full price, I wouldn't have regretted it. It's a fun hidden objects game that I very much enjoyed playing (except the squirrel level (that last acorn drove me nuts to find). I don't think it could be suited for some colour-blinded people since the objects have the same colour scheme in the same area, but if anyone does try it out I hope they enjoy it.

As much as I'd like to give this game a positive review, I've decided I can't after (thinking about my review for many days). The first playthrough was really fun and immersive, I had an amazing time with it! But for me the struggle came afterwards when I tried to do other endings... Seeing the same conversation repetidly, having to constantly make conversation choices that in the end don't mean much took the joy out of it for me. If there was a possibility to skip to the essencial conversation points where your decisions decide which direction your game goes would have made all the difference.

I have played many japanese dating sims and loved them. I know this isn't exactly the same but I just wanted to mention that, having that past experience, it has definitely been a deterent for me to give this game a positive review. I apologize to the developer but it just became too much going over the same conversations over and over and not being able to skip to only the important (decision-making important) parts, a key feature of other dating sims... I know the point of the game is going back to those angsty teenage years where all decisions were so radical and rationalization was thrown out the window but combining this with not being able to skip conversations (again, I know I'm repeting myself) just showed me that I didn't find it worthy to make all of the endings.

I still don't recommend shying away from the game if it's in the promotion. You might not find what I said a problem at all and really end up enjoying it! It's just not for me.

A fun little trivia game with stories based on other known stories, cute characters and funny dialogue. As simple as it comes but that's the beauty of it!

Thought the first two games were over-the-top in their scenery and story background? Oh boy, won't you wait until you get to the end of this one. If there was one thought that came to mind near the end of the game was: what the f*** is going on? The story gets crazy and overbearring when you try to put yourself in the characters shoes and you do not want to miss that.
Gameplay-wise, it is much like the other two installments of the game, with some added or improved features. In the trials near the end, the tension will be high and be ready to move your mouse/analog a lot from side to side to deal with your screen being full of random things that try to block your path in order to find the truth.
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and ending a great franchise the right way!

I had this game recommended to me over and over by two great friends of mine and I must say I am very happy that I gave it a shot! This game is so engaging and even if you know who's responsible for what, you'll be amazed and confused at how some arguments are twisted around in order to prove innocence. Even for those who aren't fans of visual novels I would still recommend because the mechanics are rather simple, it's all about adaptation and the great centre of it all: the story. The game is worth playing even for that alone.

As the third and final installment of the Nonary Games, this game does not stay behind regarding the other two. It completes the circle on this over-the-top engaging and amazing storytelling. While the two previous installments had different art style in each but were more on a basis of a visual novel, the third game provides us a dynamic and full view of the space and characters just like any other role-playing game would.
If you aren't aware of the game style, here's a basic rundown: with each decision that they ask you to make the story is different and new information is told (sometimes it's even for the better to have a pen and paper on your side to take notes of some extremely important things). This information will help you further along on the story development and give you some guidance amidst the confusion that sets in everytime a new storyline is shown. Brace yourselves for a lot of exposition and people talking in great length. But it's all worth it in the end because that makes the story engaging and might even get your mind blown! Some puzzles can be a little frustrating at times, in the sense that they turn out all to be rather simple in essence but overthinking can get in the way and complicate it. So try and keep it simple!

I highly recommend this game for the lovely yet simple art style, storytelling and definitely the music.

A short story (about an hour) that is super sweet and reflects the reality of of self-growth and reationships, where both people support each other and become each other's motivation and incentive for personal growth. It also shows the conflict and the upsides and downsides of moving in together, but ultimately what matters is what you learned on your time with that person and what good you can take out of that relationship without being stuck in the past. The game also depicts how the relationship with parents fluctuates between good and bad moments but ultimately that connection will always be there.

This title encompasses the first two games of the Nonary Games trilogy. This got recommend to me plenty of times and now that I have played it I recommend it strongly for anyone out there looking for a story-driven game with puzzle elements.
Both stories keep you hooked and wanting to play until you are able to see the full picture of each game. With each decision that ask you to make the story is different and new information is told (sometimes it's even for the better to have a pen and paper on your side to take notes of some extremely important things). This information will help you further along on the story development and give you some guidance amidst the confusion that sets in everytime a new storyline is shown. Brace yourselves for a lot of exposition and people talking in great length. But it's all worth it in the end because that makes the story engaging and might even get your mind blown!
Overall great story-telling, fun but at times a little frustrating puzzles (in the sense that they turn out all to be rather simple in essence but overthinking can get in the way and complicate it) and a great gaming experience

When in doubt, might as well go for the remastered version of this game. It is the same price as the original but the graphics are nicer, you have three diferent difficulty levels and the egg drop is not as rigged as the original was.
Even thought I wouldn't pay the full price for the game but wait until I got some discount, I gave it a positive review because it did entertain me. This game isn't really different from the one on your pc in terms of Solitaire mechanics, you get a few "power-ups" here and here but that's about it. The story isn't something that atracts me which makes it a little less entertainnig but I won't lie that I did get my fair share of enjoyment.
I enjoyed playing this game as a break between work I have to do or when I have some minutes to spare without anything else to do.
The pets in game aren't useful at all, just a little extra to incentivize people to keep playing I presume. For me, the most fun is just the aspect of playing Solitaire and that on each level you have certain goals to achieve. This game became also one for me to do achievements since they were all easy and I could accomplish them while enjoying playing Solitaire.
So, overall I find this a simple but good game with the improvements they made.
