What a cute albeit challenging game and perfect for Halloween season! I really enjoyed the story and the monster fights, though the fights did start to feel repetitive after a while. Unlocking all the different costumes and discovering their abilities was fun and I absolutely loved the transformations and special power during combat. This game is older, but still playable and fun 14 years after release.

Achievements are pretty straightforward although some are missable if you're not actively searching for all the parts for costumes and doing every quest. There is one achievement I changed my system clock for because it wants you to play on Christmas Day and I honestly don't see myself playing a Halloween themed game on Christmas.

My only complaint was one of the abilities requires hitting shift multiple times in a row, which kept making the windows pop-up for turning sticky keys on show up. I had to get in the habit of counting how many times I hit shift in a row and making sure to hit another key when each time I got to 4.

Super quick hidden objects game. I really liked that the board lit up when you found each capybara. That felt like a unique twist compared to others I've played. I wish there were more levels to it instead of just the one!

Profile limited so doesn't count towards Steam Achievements but currently free and perfect for spooky season. <3

This visual novel was so cute and an exploration of what it means to be LGBTQ+ in Japan. I loved it though I did wish it was longer. I always want more of the story when I play these types of games.

Bonus: The emoticons you get from the Steam Trading Cards / points shop are absolutely adorable and might be among my favorites I have in my collection. 😍

Pretty point and click adventure game with rather easy puzzles. I 100%'d the game in just under 3 hours. The art sold me on this one and I picked it up on sale. I loved the different characters and their personalities. The ending surprised me which was a bonus. All in all an enjoyable game to spend a few hours in.

Cute dress-up game, although very simple. I'm maybe a little addicted to the new Hampt Run that was recently added though and have had a lot of fun running and jumping even though I feel like I'm terrible at it. 😂 For a free game I spent maybe an hour on it playing with clothes, but 15+ hours on Hampt Run.

If you like solitaire, this game is absolutely adorable! I love filling up the bottom of my screen with cute kitties. 😍

This is yet another game I'm wishing there was a neutral option for recommendation. I liked this game, I didn't love it. The artwork is beautiful and it's a cozy visual novel story. I liked that the drinks you served had effects on how the quests would turn out. The overarching story was interesting and I enjoyed that as well...and I loved seeing all the different trinkets from the various quest options, but overall I was just left a feeling a bit disappointed.

I was bored with making the drinks after a while. With the exception of the quests that have multiple drink options, the other drink requests started to feel extremely repetitive. I kept wishing there was more variety or like an option to "discover" a new recipe like there was in Coffee Talk. There are so many possible variations it would have been nice to see the drink requests a lot more varied. There were also some scenes that dragged a bit story wise. Playing the game a little at a time you might not notice so much, but I played the story and all the different endings back to back and was falling asleep while playing. If not for the fast forward through dialogue you've already seen options (which got added in a later patch), I likely would not have finished the extra endings.

I'm giving this a "yes" recommendation because I didn't hate it and there was nothing broken about it, and it definitely did feed my fantasy / D&D loving heart, but I really wanted more than it gave me.

This game is so cute! The art style is lovely, there are lots of frogs to find. It has a reason why you're looking for all the little frogs, and with an update there are now cute gnomes to find too! Some of the frogs are easy to discover, but others are a bit harder as you only see parts of their body (like their feet) and there are also special items to find that add to the search and find experience and make a little noise when you find one. Overall, this is just a really relaxing hidden objects game and I really enjoyed it!

Fun little word search game. I liked the choices of words / theme of the game. The music was catchy although it felt a bit repetitive after a while.

This is another game where I wish I could leave a neutral review, but in the end I'm going with "Not Recommended" because of the game launch issues (see below). I loved flying around as a faery and talking to all the NPCs. The premise is simple and charming. The world is beautiful. The game isn't voice acted though, and the story doesn't feel fully fleshed out, which is a shame, because it's such a cool game and I feel like that would have made it even better.

Unfortunately, this game doesn't launch by itself in 2025 and you need to apply a "patch" or "fix" to play it. The patch will let you load the game, but not get the Steam Achievements which for me was an automatic "not gonna try it" cause I'm a completionist and I already had some of the achievements done from when I first bought this on Steam back in 2018.

I tried a bunch of different things before I stumbled on this mentioned in the discussion forum here on Steam for this game: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2951759425

I followed the instructions in the guide for using Windows ADK when the current system has higher than the games' supported GPUs and it worked like a charm! This game brings back so much nostalgia for me and I was happy I finally found a fix that would work on my PC and allow me to finish replaying it and obtain all the achievements. Once I got it working, I had a relaxing time playing.
