“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” –Oscar Wilde

That beautiful style :3

Chasing the Stars in a BL/Yaoi Visual Novel created by ErtalGames, the makers of A Hand in the Darkness, which I also talked about *here*. In Chasing the Stars you play as Tirs, a young man finishing his last year of Environmental Engineering in college. Tirs has always dreamed of working on Alaya, terraforming it for colonization. 

Tirs set his dream aside in favor of romance, but it weighed on him heavily, and may have been the downfall of his relationship anyway. Without a boyfriend, Tirs can now refocus on his dream. He has his friends at his side, but can he really achieve his dream in the end? 

Follow that dream, Tirs!

I really enjoyed this demo. I enjoyed A Hand in the Darkness also, but Chasing the Stars has a steampunk aesthetic about it that I love, and it’s about outer freaking space. It doesn’t get much cooler. The art is lovely, I love the artist’s style. The characters all have a unique style about them. 

I’m excited about the story and options too! There are three different love interests, top/bottom options (as well as a skip if you’re not into all that), two threesomes (ooo la la), and multiple endings of course.

The game is currently running a Kickstarted campaign as well! I’ve already backed, and they’ve been fully funded, but there are stretch goals, as well as some cool rewards you can pick up, so be sure to take a look *here* And be sure to check out the demo, which you can download free from Itch.io *here*

Thanks for sharing some of your precious time with me today. I hope you’ll give this demo a try, and be sure to leave your feedback for the developers. Happy gaming!

Princess's Maid (PC)

Princess’s Maid is a romance, visual novel style game created by toki production for the Yuri Game Jam. In the game, you control Epponnie, a maid to the twin Princesses Martha and Tatiyana. The Princesses are getting married to Princes of other kingdoms for the sake of their kingdom. Epponnie and her little sister Olivia are longtime friends of the Princesses, and although Epponnie doesn’t show it, she is saddened at their marriages. As Epponnie, you have to try to find a way to stop the Princess you love from getting married… but how? 

The main part of this game is a daily task management where you can choose different tasks to perform at various times of the day to raise, or reduce, stats like strength, knowledge, and stress. In order to get any particular ending, you have to throw all of your time at one Princess. Strength for Martha, Knowledge for Tatiyana, or visiting Olivia.

I like both Princesses. Tatiyana is more reserved, and I suppose that would make Martha the “fun” sister. Tatiyana is more my style though. The artwork is lovely, and gives the game a sort of antique feel for me. The music is also very nice. Overall the game was predictable, but not unenjoyable. 

The game did have quite a few grammar errors, so I was able to help correct the script a bit for the developers, so I hope this helps the game flow a little better. There is also a special ending you can get once you complete the game once on any route, which is a sort of spoofy ending, and made me chuckle. 

You can play this game free from Itch.io by clicking *here*. I hope you can enjoy it also.

Thanks for sharing your time with me, and happy Gaming!
