✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (13/03/2023). Touchscreen/touchpad for menu and choices, 'A' button for advancing text.

This is a free game and the plot development is not too bad, I would give it a chance. The story is really short nothing to write home about, a bit predictable. Characters are plain although each one of them has a clearly defined personality and strengths/weaknesses. Considering how short the story is I think the devs did a pretty decent job on writing different routes that don't feel an exact copy of each other with just a change in a few sentences.

I liked that the female MC is not your usual otome stupid protagonist, she has quite the character and can speak for herself most of the time.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works smoothly (09/03/2023). Buttons work for both menu and choices, 'A' button for advancing text and selecting choices.

Can't really find any good reasons to recommend this visual novel. The story is really plain and the routes are really rushed since there's barely any development. You just go from having a somewhat friendly relationship with the characters to suddenly them telling you they love you. This is not an unusual thing in a lot of dating sims where the plot is swallow and the characters are boring as hell, but they usually compensate it with stunning or cute art or good character design, which this visual novel also lacks.

Neither I have the formula to create the perfect visual novel nor I want to tell people how should they make their games, but I'd say all that budget/time that was invested in animating the characters' sprites and giving all of them voice acting could have been used in commissioning/creating more decent character art and the result would have felt more pleasant to read.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (09/03/2023). Touchscreen for navigating the menu, 'A' or 'R2' button for advancing text.

This visual novel feels like a fragment of a bigger story. The plot is all around the place, in some routes the player doesn't even get enough information to figure out what's happening and it feels like everything is rushed to the point of being ridiculous. Some of the scenes that are supposed to be all dramatic and sad become kinda meme.

It's a pity because I really liked the art and the OST and also the voice acting sounds decent but I can't recommend this vn.

❌ Tested on Steam Deck, it doesn't seem to run in the device as it gets permanently stucked in Steam loading screen (07/03/2023).

Surprisingly good story and intriguing enough to keep me reading until the very end. I like how the plot seems to be set in multiple layers so that secrets are slowly disclosed and new details and backstory for the characters are given to us little by little, in the correct portions to keep the player in a permanent state of disconcert and wanting to know more.

The artstyle is pretty unique and elegant. The only thing I could complain about is how sometimes text appears in too big paragraphs which makes it tiresome to read specially during long gaming sessions.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works perfectly (25/02/2023). 'A' button for advancing text, 'B' for opening menu and 'X' for skipping text.

So... in this game you play as a plain and souless MC and your options to date are guys that treat you like a dog or psychos. The drawing is pretty and the VA is good but I don't think this is an otome I would recommend, I hated every single of the characters and the plot sometimes is so chaotic it doesn't really make much sense.

For me, an example of a game that aged poorly.

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (20/11/2022). You'll need touchscreen for menu and choices, and 'A' button for advancing text. Also Steam button + 'X' shortcut will be needed to get the keyboard out and write the protagonist's name.

This is a decent example of how otomes can have an interesting and smart female protagonist without ruining the story or the genre itself. I'm still surprised this game is free; the music choice sounds really good and fits the scenes, the art is peculiar but beautiful (all the character designs including secondary ones look soooo good) and the story is actually engaging!

✔️Played on Steam Deck, it works fine (13/11/2022). Touchscreen for menu options and left joystick for moving the snake.

There's a minor bug with the ingame menu once you are inside a level and also using the joystick feels sometimes imprecise, I'd rather use the directional button.

A remake of the flash game. It's cute and entertaining, although the difficulty doesn't increase properly with the level: some of the last levels felt like they were the easiest.
