RogueJack is a dungeon crawler where battles are determined through hands of blackjack. It’s fine in short sprints, but there’s not enough variability for longer gameplay sessions. 5/10

Pode is a cute two-character 3D puzzle platformer where you can use the power of earth and the power of life to get around obstacles in your path. It’s a beautiful game. 7/10

In Her Eyes is a visual novel / card game with interesting gameplay but a not-so-great translation. It’s understandable, but at times the dialogue becomes rather clunky. The rhythm aspect is fun. 6/10

Food Girls: Civil War retains the same high-quality aspects as the original visual novel, but the sequel adds a dash of rivalry. A stat sim mode has been added, upping the difficulty. 7/10

Food Girls is a high-quality VN centered around saving specialized food shops, complete with animated Live2D characters and personified foods to match the shops. It’s a VN I’ll come back to! 7/10

Iwate Mountain Dance is a hardcore bullet hell / boss rush platformer that doesn’t hold back. Each and every move may lead you to your death, so plan carefully and dodge towards survival! 7/10

logiCally is a collection of difficult logic puzzles, offering a unique challenge. Thankfully directions are available in the upper right, and I recommend this for serious puzzle players. 6/10

Cave Quest is primarily a casual match-three game, although a few other puzzle minigames are thrown in. You traverse through the icy wilderness to find out what happened to your family. 6/10
