Hello Friends! Welcome to another group of game demos worth playing,
and possibly keeping an eye out for the full versions of them. Let’s get right
to the games!
1. I Suddenly Became A Magical Girl To Fight Aliens From Another Dimension
DEMO (Shelved)
Source: Itch.io Page
This game is a quirky visual novel game created by Mado, about a girl
named Kagami who dreams of being a Magical Girl! If you don’t know what a
Magical Girl is, think of Sailor Moon(because almost everyone knows Sailor
Moon), and THAT is a Magical Girl. Suddenly, one day, Aliens attack Kagami’s
home city! While the Aliens are razing the city, Kagami is visited by a very
unenthusiastic magiclander by the name of Nya-Nya. Nya-Nya bestows upon her a
magical compact, and Kagami gains the ability to become the Magical Girl she
has always dreamed of! Now it’s up to her to stop the Aliens and save the city!
The art in this game is insanely cute. Both Kagami and Yoshiko are
downright adorable, and the colors are poppy and bright. The music is also
nice, and makes me think of a Magical Girl anime. The dialogue is funny, and
almost seems mocking of itself and the Magical Girl genre at times. Overall I
enjoyed the demo, but was saddened to hear that the developer has currently
shelved the project to work on others. I hope that they are able to return and
complete this game as I found the demo quite interesting and would be
interesting in playing a full version. You can find the demo on Itch.io to play
for free *here*.
2. Paws and Effect (In development)
Source: Itch.io Page
Do you sometimes wish your pets were human? In Paws and Effect we play
as a 23 year old woman and find out just what happens when her two
dogs(Pomeranians) suddenly turn human. At first, the MC thinks she is just
dreaming, but after some special “girl scout” cookies to calm down, Peaches and
Pecan are still human. The MC must take it upon herself to now teach her dogs
how to be human, but they won’t make it easy for her. Even learning to use a
straw is a struggle.
I really enjoyed the demo of this game. The dialogue was funny, and the
dogs/humans acted similar to how I think my dogs would act as humans—always
worried about food, whether I am mad at them, and frequent “I love you!”s. The
fact that Peaches is an attractive human causes quite a dilemma for the MC, and
I couldn’t help but find her dire situation hilarious. The music for the game
sounds kind of arcade-y and I like that.
Erotome is still developing this game along with some others, and if
you would like to download the demo and try it for yourself, you can find it
for free on Itch.io *here*. The demo seems very short, but it does what a demo
should—it left me wanting to play more. I can’t wait for the full release.
3. Eye Candy (In development)
Source: Itch.io Page
Eye Candy is a game currently in development by Dream Syrup, about a
young girl searching for her sister, but gets involved in a rather nefarious…
game? She encounters some creatures who want to play games with her… or eat
her. Perhaps both. The demo is very short since the developer has some hurdles
to work through, but recently updated that the game is about 40% complete as of
1/2/17.
The art style of the game is cute, and the story is mysterious and
engaging. I was a bit let down by the shortness of the demo because there were
so many unanswered questions—but the goal of a demo is to pique your interest,
and it certainly did just that. There
was also a train conductor named Conclucktor, which made me laugh out loud. I
love things like that. If you want to take a peek at the demo yourself, you can
download and play for free from Itch.io *here*.
4. Konbini Life Demo (In Development)
Source: Itch.io Page
Konbini Life is a visual novel styled game created by 2Birds. You play
as Natsu, a girl who, after flunking out of University, is working the night
shift at the local convenience store—MegaKonbiniMart. Through the demo you have
to survive the night shift, and deal with some interesting characters. I’ve
worked the night shift loads of time—I know that’s when the creeps come out!
The art for this game is phenomenal. The art is what initially drew me
to the game to begin with. I enjoyed the diverse cast of characters, and the
dialogue felt genuine and real. By that I mean it sounded like how real people
would likely speak. There isn’t any music, but this is a demo so I didn’t mind
so much. I really enjoyed this demo and I look forward to seeing the full
release! You can download and try the demo for yourself free from Itch.io *here*.
Thanks for stopping in! As always, be sure to check out the demos, and
leave words of encouragement, or constructive criticism to help the developers
with their games! Even if the game is no longer in development, it may help
them in the future. Many developers really value your comments.
Happy Gaming, Friends!
