I'm sorry Kent, I wasn't entirely honest with you all this time. I know you have put a lot of effort into your math puzzles, but... you see I actually cheated on most of them and feel extremely guilty about that, especially since I am in fact superbad with even the simplest of arithmetics and do need a help with it. I'm very sorry for being such a dishonest ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but in my defense I'll say that it was done purely with the intention of not getting anything but the perfect ending with you.
Hope you understand <3

I am a big fan of "yai gameworks" since Close Your Eyes. I greatly treasured and loved the experience given by this developer's games, - it was truly unique. But i've come to notice that with time yai games become less about content and more about puzzles.
Of course, good challenge, when it's involving, interesting and rewarding is always welcomed.
When Red Haze came out, most of its puzzles were a lot harder than in prev games, but still clever and even interesting. Though there was this very annoying custodian issue but other than that the game was, by and large, enjoyable.

Then close your eyes dlc - "Twisted Puzzle". It had very little actual content in it and consisted of mostly just puzzles (thus the name i guess). I thought it was okay, it's just a small dlc after all. The puzzles themselves were not okay for me: they were tediously hard and some stuff was just plain distasteful, like interacting with a trash bin for 50 (!) times.
But truth be told i still felt rewarded by the end of the game, i could even say that the last note riddle was almost good if its solution tip wasn't so cryptic.

"Close Me". Oh here we go... i don't even now where to start. Story short, this game has extremely little substance to it, but has a lot of very questionable puzzles with bizarre, almost anti-intuitive solutions. Sometimes you can't even tell if you solved some random puzzle or not, if triggered something or not; so you have to close the game and do a tedious walk around the map to see if anything had changed. And, of course, the system time based puzzles: some things will happen and some doors might open depending on your system time; and that is necessary to play in a certain time of day to proceed through the "story"; so you need to physically make your time to play or, if you can't, change your system time that can potentially mess up certain programs in your pc. Seems fun? And don't forget you need to figure out the actual existence of time based puzzles in the first place, which is hard if you only play games at a certain time of day...

“Please love my computer game” – not much I want to add. Everything I said before – this game takes it to a whole new level of frustration I didn’t even knew existed.
Very ironic name: game that wants you to love it does nothing to aid to that, - it’s not even remotely friendly or welcoming.

Clearly it's not really a “review” since i haven't said much about actual game i'm reviewing. To be quite honest, I just wanted to vocal my disappointment and… sorrow about this whole situation.
This is my first review ever written, and that is only because of this topic’s importance to me, because I actually still care about your games, yai; and I wish they were something I can enjoy, I really do. But that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
