2023 Play List
List of titles I played in 2023. Includes returning and replaying titles. I played a lot of indie games though, so it's not hard to see why my numbers are high. Many of the games Iβve played were on PC (Windows OS and Linux), but a very few were console exclusives on my list.

Genre: Shooting - Horizontal
Replay; 1CC attempt - Hard difficulty
UPDATE:
πͺ I finally got 1CC on hard (starting from stage 1-1)! I am very pleased with my run despite some mess ups. I didn't record the footage due to running the game on Steam Deck w/ 64GB internal SSD. I always thought recording a high quality replay would require a lot of space, thus why I didn't feel like doing it on Steam Deck. I have plans to replay it on desktop PC once I resurrected successfully.
Old Post:
Used to hate the PC version when I was running it on Windows OS. However, thanks to Linux OS and ProtonDB reports, I was able to enjoy playing it without crashing in fifteen minutes. Now, I can do a proper 1CC attempt!

I was psyched to find out this game turned from commercial to freeware for this version, so I downloaded and played. The only trouble I had was finding all of the collectibles on my second playthrough.

I used to abandoned this game, as the game constantly crashes during the intro scene of Nun's chapter. However, when playing on Linux OS (Steam Deck), I didn't get a single crash! Only one problem: low framerate. Luckily, the framerate goes back to 55 ~ 60 when not in the chapel room.
Now, I can finally play and beaten it properly!

Game beaten!
Achievement hunting abandoned.
I finally finished the game. I only played it on normal difficulty. Here's why:
I was hoping to use a similar method found on Xbox related achievements site, TrueAchievements, where a guide tells me to play all the way through normal up until the final boss. Unfortunately, it didn't work for PC version. There is a game breaking bug where if you quit to menu while on stage 3, it DOESN'T save your progress, leaving only stages 1 & 2 worked. Like WTF indie dev. You called this a finished product?

Used to plan get a semi-100% (due to one achievement not working), but considering too much grind involved and a very low SHP (50 pts), this isn't worth playing for me anymore.

I used to beaten the game in the original release, but since after the patch came out, not only it updated the game but also erased my achievement progress completely. As a result, I decided to re-install, beat it, and earn all achievements again.

The trademark was registered in NA (USA) and EU regions, but that doesn't mean a possible EN version, only protect its name. Although there maybe a possible EN release if the developer sees the EN community's demand high enough (I hope!).
