Ratings and Reviews by ChanceOfFire

Nothing complicated here. Just a short choicegame where you make your way to your cottage to relax and take it slow. The writing has a lighthearted and relaxed feel. You have a few choices, with some impact on the text, but nothing major.

It’s a good short story with the relaxing vibes.

This is a very cute game, with some interactivity and plenty of little pop up pictures as the writer talks about their favorite color and the little things which were a part of that experience. There’s a little bit of sound when you tap the buttons, but nothing major in that department.

That said, I played this on my phone, and some of the text was pretty small, making it hard to read especially with the monochrome color scheme. Still, otherwise, this game played fairly well on a phone. (Anyway, that was my decision.)

It should take too long to clear all the options and finish, but it was a sweet read.

This is a very simple but still entertaining idea. This isn’t the first time I’ve played a game like this… I remember playing a video game for kids with a minigame like this a really long long time ago.

You’ll have to put in a list of words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, whatever). Be warned, that list is pretty long. Once you are done, the game will generate your nonsense letter for you.

It’s one very creative way to deal with the 500 word limit, and might entertain you for a bit.

Ok, second book from this writer. The first one had a ton of sexual content. As for this one, vore isn't my kink. AT ALL. I had to rinse my brain after reading this. With the industrial-grade stuff. Nevertheless, to give my review in a neutral manner...

The writing is strong in description and style, even if the subject matter wasn't for me. The game is entirely linear, without any choices. At less than 500 words, this linear tale ends quickly. If this type of content is your thing, go ahead.

I'm not sure how many stars I should give for this one, so I won't. Now that this is done, I'm off to run and hide somewhere.

I'm no expert on demon summoning. Maybe there are actually some clues in the text which tell you the right options. Unfortunately, I was pretty much just guessing every step of the way.

You need to summon a demon fast. So lay the materials, do something I won't mention here, then recite the incantation. For the first part, you need to pick from three of six materials, but as far as I can tell, you can't unselect anything, and if you pick more than three items, the game gets stuck and you'll have to start over.

I played a few times by picking at random (since I had no idea what to pick.) I managed to find two endings in the game, although neither were quite positive. (One was 'better' than the other.) Still, after about five or so replays, I was no longer in the mood to try again.

It was somewhat entertaining. Within the context of a 500 word limit jam, I suppose I could still give four stars.

The duck is the ultimate animal, capable of traversing air, land and water. Meanwhile, there is a really annoying duck to get rid of. I mean, normally, I'd make loud noises or something, but this one is a really tough cookie. You might find yourself in a fight to the death.

Despite the word count limit, this game has plenty of options, with plenty of play needed to see them all. The dumb humor made me laugh a bit, though it might not be for everyone. If you play hard enough, you might be able to find the 'good' ending, though whether it is really a good ending or not is open to interpretation. Still, there's also dumb fun in seeing one of those bad endings.

It's a short and open ended story which leaves quite a bit of detail and outcomes to speculation. You are tasked with painting a pair of mysterious figures. There are a few choices in the game, with some impact on the text, but mostly for the scenes which come just next. Still, I think this title managed to do a good bit with the tight word limit of the jam.

The art style and colors are nice and fit the setting. I'm a little more mixed on the sound, though.

Actually, reading the description was already enough to get me clicking. I've never done VTubing, but as a writer for Hosted Games, I consider myself an online influencer of sorts, just in a different arena. I know the struggle for interest and clicks, and how it sometimes feels like you have to sell your soul to get those numbers up. Anyway, enough rambling on this.

As an aspiring VTuber, you can do a little research or jump right in. Still, you find yourself struggling for views on your pet topics until you find some dark places in the online arena which tempt you with the possibility of getting those numbers up. Well, you might get those views now, but there's always a price. There are a number of options here which really allow you to explore the different possibilities of what could happen. There are plenty of hard truths here.

(Spoiler - click to show)Another note, you can do some research in the game and find out that strong political opinions can get you successful. However, this does not appear to affect choices down the line. (As far as I can tell.)

Given how this topic resonates with me, I'm probably a little biased with that five star rating. Still, I seriously do recommend taking a look.

Through the woods is more like a traditional choice based IF game, with just the basics as far as visuals go, and plenty of choices, all with negative consequences. I mean, I think I tried every choice, but I don't think there are any good endings here.

Still, I liked that the writer was able to fit a good number of choices into a 500 word jam. You might want to play with this to see how it goes. If anyone finds a good ending in this game, do us all a favor and let us know.

Compared to the other games I have tried in this universe, this one seems much more linear. As far as I can tell, there's just one button you press, which brings you down the different stops, with commentary and writing I won't spoil here, until you reach the end and the credits show.

That said, the art is still pretty nice and the writing does have the usual charm of the other games in the series. There appears to be some RNG, so each playthrough will be different, but I couldn't find any other choices besides going down the railroad. All in all, still good for a light read.
