Gnosia Episode 4 – Silver Key - Kohi-Break This episode introduces us to Yuriko, who is perhaps the most enigmatic person in the group so far. She does something that seems to harm Yuri in some way, and at first, it is hard to tell what she di...

Please check out my full thoughts on the show here if you’re interested!

#Gnosia

Another great aspect of the anime is just seeing the characters. We had this with SQ in episode 1, but seeing Yuriko so haughty and watching the debate almost as an outsider adds so much to her character. The anime is largely doing justice to the characters themselves.

#Gnosia

I’m late to write about Gnosia, but it’s such a great adaptation so far. I think it improves the story, which in the game feels more segmented. I especially love the visual in this episode of Yuri and Stella as two fish in a tank, showing that they really only have each other.

Scream Jam 2025 is over! Thank you to everyone who played the game. Knowing that at least 59 people tried it is amazing. We're just two guys new to releasing games, and your support means a lot. We'll keep improving this one and keep working on ./DreamON as we grow our skills.

Have you checked out our Scream Jam 2025 submission, Goodbye Page? We are planning to update it after the game jam, so please stay tuned. Where will this paper airplane’s journey lead?

#indiedev #indiegame

No problem! Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to see what I can do about that after the Jam, since they won't let me update it anymore lol

@kuraishimi.bsky.social

Hey! I saw you added my game, Goodbye Page, to your collection and mentioned it didn’t work. Could you tell me what the problem was? I’m planning more post Game Jam updates and would love to try fixing it, even if the bug fix window for this jam has passed.

There’s been lots of love at the Scream Jam so far! It makes me so happy!

My first Game Jam for Scream Jam (or first game ever) is out! It was very difficult making this in a week, and it has a lot of rough edges, but I hope you'll enjoy it!

This Monster Wants to Eat Me Episode 1 – A Girl Who Seeks Death Waits for the Sea - Kohi-Break Last season, we had an amazing series in The Summer Hikaru Died, which was beautifully directed and had a horror-esque story that symbolized taboo in a small town and the issues that can arise from it...

My full writeup is also up!

This Monster Wants to Eat Me's premiere was good! I really liked how they portrayed Hinako's depression, even more than I expected. While the outside environment doesn’t always look good or cohesive, I appreciate the contrast between it and Hinako's dark inner thoughts.

Perhaps... There's something beyond the screen.

New review on the site! Ghostpia is an amazing game. The team at Chosuido has developed something truly special, and I cannot wait for Season 2! There is also a video version of the review!

Testing some new shaders for our game (DreamON). (Ignore the shoe-only shadows.)

Going for a mix of 90s CG-style shaders and effects like Disillusion in a fully movable environment. Still needs tweaks, but I like how it’s coming along.

Made a fully rigged Takopi model. Should I make a full scene soon?

The Summer Hikaru Died: Episode 3 and 4: He’s Not… - Kohi-Break While the story is directly about a monster and the fear surrounding it, it also works as an allegory. It reflects how gay people, or outcasts in general, can be treated as something to fear simply be...

These are just random ramblings from my article, so if you wanted to read my entire writeup on Episode 3 and 4 of The Summer Hikaru Died, you can check it out here.

Yoshiki now realizes that just because this isn’t the real Hikaru, it doesn’t mean he can’t spend time with him. He decides to treat him as his own person and offers to be the one to teach this creature, who clearly doesn’t understand humans very well, about human life.

#光が死んだ夏 #ひかなつアニメ

The moment when Yoshiki visits Hikaru feels oddly wholesome. As Yoshiki puts it, this Hikaru is much more of a brat than the real one, with behavior that’s almost childlike.

#光が死んだ夏 #ひかなつアニメ

Will Hikaru really bring ruin if he enters the village, or is that just superstition? His existence feels like a distortion that spreads when he comes down, reflecting how outsiders with different ideologies can deeply unsettle a rural community afraid of change.

#光が死んだ夏 #ひかなつアニメ

Long overdue, especially with ep 5 out today, but can I just gush about The Summer Hikaru Died ep 3? Easily one of the best this season. I love how it portrays rural community life and a closed mindset, represented in this case by a literal monster.

Takopi’s Original Sin Episode 2 and 3: This Isn’t Going to End Well Is It? - Kohi-Break Takopi has started to reflect on what they’re doing. He realizes that this isn’t right. He has replaced a member of someone else’s family, someone who can’t come back. And he can’t truly be that perso...

I’m a bit late, but I did write a write-up for both Episode 2 and Episode 3 of Takopi. So if anyone wants to read it, here is the link!

Mooang’s direction in this EP was really good. I love all the camera movements he provided surrounding Takopi, whether when he was the “light” of the shot or when we were looking through his eyes. It truly painted the picture of how much pressure Takopi is actually under.

#タコピー #Takopi

Takopi EP 2 was one of the best episodes I've seen in a while. It gave a true sense of almost helplessness, where you really didn't know what Takopi was going to do, and well, when he did "solve" the issue, you are conflicted on whether you should even be happy about it or not.

Takopi’s Original Sin Episode 1: To You in 2016 - Kohi-Break The anime begins with the meeting of Takopi and Shizuka, starting with an almost horror-like shot of a monster emerging from a pipe. However, it turns out to be just Takopi, a helpful pink octopus cre...

I haven't written about any anime in forever, but I just had to write about Takopi! It's a heartbreaking story with character designs by Keita Nagahara and a mix of whimsical and grim elements from Shinya Iino's direction.
