Missing the birb.

(Though, um, spicy art up on my after dark bluesky offtheclock and maybe I'll have to write a spicy side story later.)

I need to do some thinking about how to pace out the next bit but head is wobbly mush. Maybe it will come to me.

I have, though, been very much enjoying the Danny/Nightwing story, for the little I am writing (previously Under Window, Under Wing, now Nightbird Song) and writing Kon crushing hard and trying not to deal with it.

I miss having a proper good burst of writing and thinking though.

Let's Play Some Demos! - Part 25

Tuesday, March 25, 2025

Welcome to Part 25 of the Let's Play Some Demos! | LPSD series! For those who are new, I aim to provide commentary and feedback on game demos for educational purposes! In addition, with how saturated Steam is, let's get these indie games some attention, shall we (and the occasional AAA game I think isn't getting enough attention)? For this episode, I used some of the demos I had grabbed from the Myths & Legends & Women's Day Sale Steam Events!  RULES! Typically, there are 4 demos. Each demo gets 30 minutes, not including the adjustment of settings and character creation. I might up it to 5 and/or play a great game for longer if there are technical issues. Or a demo finishes before the timer goes off. And NO AI's spit, aka. plagiarism laundering.

Today, I, attempted, to play 4 demos for your enjoyment:

Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee by ArcanaXIX - Planned Release Date: 2025 Play as Amadeus, a young werewolf struggling to understand his condition, as he navigates a tale woven by Witches. In desperation, he sells his own memories for a notebook and a promise. A linear narrative Visual Novel + Adventure Game. Episode 1 of 5. CONTENT WARNING: This game deals with topics including: child abuse/neglect, death, murder. It also involves body horror with respect to the main character's werewolf transformations.

Lord Ambermaze by Potata Company - Planned Release Date: To be announced Lord Ambermaze is an adventure RPG with a turn-based combat system and time manipulation mechanics – only your steps can force the flow of time to move. Delve into the depths of the underworld to challenge the evil Lord and restore time.

Night Dessert by mystific - Planned Release Date: 2025 Night Dessert is a sultry talking simulator set in a cozy pixel-art pastry shop. Chat with intriguing characters, enjoy flirtatious conversations, and indulge in sweet secrets - all while a city under new prohibition laws tries to keep desires under wraps. CONTENT WARNING: This game features suggestive dialogue, flirtation, dating scenarios, occasional depictions of nudity, and playful innuendos. While exploring romantic and sensual themes, the content remains non-explicit and focuses on character relationships, personal dramas, and emotional connections. The tone is chill and atmospheric, blending humor, sultry undertones, and a touch of intimacy. The game does not contain violence. AI-GENERATED CONTENT DISCLOSURE: We are a small indie team without a dedicated composer, so we are currently using AI-generated music. Our goal is to replace it with original compositions as soon as our budget allows, and we would love to collaborate with talented musicians in the future. The ONLY REASON I played this is because they INTEND to replace the spit with original compositions, aka. human art.

Through the Nightmares by Sandman Team - Available: Coming soon Help the Sandman to overcome all fears in the hardcore action-platformer Through the Nightmares. Find and rescue the children, fight all their phobias! Defeat the almighty Morpheus! Test your skill in a world where everything is trying to kill you. Die, resurrect, learn from mistakes and try again!

The links above are to the games' Steam pages. Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee, Lord Ambermaze, Night Dessert, and Through the Nightmares' demos are on itch.io!

Overall, I want Amadeus: A Riddle for Thee, and Lord Ambermaze, and they are on my wishlist. When the spit is replaced in Night Dessert, I'll wishlist it.

For anyone interested in a mini-review, it will be available on the Opinions & Truth | O&T blog later today, or this week, here!  

If you don't see Part 25 when you click the link, it means I'm still working on it. Feel free to look at other videos while you wait!

And that's it for the mini-review of Part 25! Thank you for reading!

ツ : Does your muse prefer lots of friends, or just a few close ones?

“I don’t have many to begin with, but probably a few close ones.”

“That’s good to hear :> Would you like to come over here? I can brew some tea-”

Deedee put his phone down mid-thought to see what flavors he had; green, black, chamomile... He remembered Minim likes fruity teas, and decided on peach tea. He filled his electric kettle with water and flicked it on--if she was almost done with work, he may as well get the tea ready for his arrival. 

“-and we can decide where to go from there if that’s alright? Hope to see you soon.”

(thedailydeception) Minim's phone buzzed with a text from a recently-added number. "Hello, Minim :> I hope you're doing well today. I'm texting you to ask, when and where did you want to meet up?"

Minim, who was currently kicking his feet back and forth at his work chair while staring bored mu at the screen, perked up in surprise at the phone and immediately snatched it. Notifications were always good to her, and sure enough she gasped in delight at seeing the number.

“hi double d! i’m doing a-ok! slow day at work rn, almost over with,” he texted before giving a thoughtful hum. “i’m fine with getting together once i’m off if you are! ヽ( ´ ∇ ｀ )ノ maybe it could be at my place or yours? or maybe where we’re going to treat yourselves to? i’m flexible! what works best for you?”
