Katsono reviewed Amanda the Adventurer
It's a short game that was developed after a game jam project and it's pretty well done. The game is certainly functional and isn't really lacking in any department: it looks okay, plays okay, the sound and animation qualities are there.

It could help if it had a few more improvements such as being able to get out from the zoom mode by using the left mouse click, making it less tedious to turn the clocks or having the cooking pan always land in the right direction instead of flying around but those are minute details in a game that's about two hours long.

Amanda is your typical horror game that tries to take advantage of childish things, here it’s obviously Dora. It doesn’t really hold any surprise but it’s fun enough to play. I do wish it went further with its themes or it focused better on one of them instead of multiple ones, I think there are a few good ideas such as a child being stuck in a TV world which turns into some kind of hellish place: it’s an interesting concept that doesn’t try to make the player scared for their lives, instead it’s just as scary as hearing about what a killer could have done to a kid. You’ve got a kid right in front of you, suffering, and you can’t do anything about it. There are vague hints of this but ultimately the game stays at a surface level with everything. It seems more like a mix of ideas and jump scares than something cohesive, which is a shame.

It’s a very good parody of Dora on the other hand. The presentation is really top notch.

The puzzles can also get really cryptic. One thing I didn’t understand personally is that at some points in the story where you hit a game over, I wasn’t experiencing a bug where the game didn’t save but it was intentional.

Katsono commented on Armakeen's review of Super Mario 64
Yeah I was referring to that one, there's also a new port of Link's Awakening which is really awesome. I hope they do Majora's Mask too.

I haven't tried Harkinian yet though, I probably should actually.

Katsono abandoned Mix Ore
I think you just can't imagine how bad a "visual novel" can be if there was a delay of one second between every line. Like holy shit what's wrong with this game? I can't even get to the part that others are criticising because of the delays. It's even worse if there's an actual transition, it's something like 10 seconds.

That and I'm not sure how I feel about a game where the first choices I get as a supposed amnesiac characters are "Touch her butt" and telling someone to "Show me your panties".
