am reminded that the villages within both hateshinaku aoi, kono sora no shita de + the summer hikaru died take inspiration from nara's mitsue

then of course we have higurashi + kara no shoujo 2 for gifu's shirakawa

continuing the spooky-town-with-a-secret trend i'm wondering where shiki fits

being a self-produced group truly seems nightmarish but with it comes an element of creative freedom that perhaps an agency or label wouldn't be comfortable with

u also get to have unique up-and-comers like rina momose on board to direct MVs

…that comes from living in these times

endlessly scrolling through the myriad horrors littering our collective feeds chips away at our psyche, + i appreciate that the MV emphasizes turning our attention away from it all sometimes and instead focus on all that is beautiful and precious in our lives

bit late with this but just watched the latest zero bansen effort. for a song that starts with a line like 'i can't stop watching films where people die' it's no surprise that the MV is a tough watch, jarring rapid-fire cuts of atrocities strewn about the ennui...

shout-out to all the nebulous shades of queer oomfs who just discovered lilac and are torn between opting for the witch or wizard side

blåhaj is queer culture which honestly # true

charming stuff, seems like in the full game your thrift store will develop into something of a reassuring communal space. from the developers of sticky business which i had a pleasant time with

𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨 {𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨}

had a chill time organizing all matter of pastel bric-a-brac. games of this nature are very much cynthia-erivo-tapping-her-head-dot-gif material for me so idk what to say if you get it you get it lol

a daughter raising sim thankfully more aligned with volcano princess than the dubious sensibilities of its predecessors. harmless but none of the companion characters strike my fancy as their respective shticks seem rather trite (gestures towards attached pic, sighs) so idk

Please... I beg you....

Then we have something that's gotten a bit harder to find lately...

utterly delectable bakery sim with adorable claymation-esque models, all but crafted from the pliable cotton candy reveries of one's youth. thankfully presents a pressure-free environment lacking in ramsay-isms - there are also days where you sell to kitties only oh my goshhhh

though gameplay & atmosphere are generally pleasant (organizing makes brain go brrr), this isn't something i can recommend in good faith due to its quite frankly suspect inclusion of gibberish pseudo-jp glyphs and reports of abusive management overshadowing produce-lined shelves

tyabs....... tyabs........

checked out the premiere of this season's isekai-but-toss-an-overworked-ojisan-into-the-mix offering. even with the slash-friendly potential surreptitiously dangling above its bespectacled protag's head there's not much going for it

production is already struggling but check out this rug omfg????
