This game helped me battle with my coulrophobia.
Delightful soundtrack, cute and short story, beautiful artwork and amazing hug simulator. I felt better whenever I hugged someone. The bouncer gives you a fist bump which works fine as well. The idea of putting up all the drawings of people/non-people that have been hugged by the you is great. I wanted to go outside and just start hugging random humans just so I could have a pretty wall. I love meeting the preacher lady in the playground at night. During the day she can be pretty stuck-up; saying that metal is satan and all that stuff, but at night she's just having a smoke and wondering about life in general. Sometimes when Dropsy is opening his inventory it might seem rather inappropriate (especially when there's a little flower girl jumping around Dropsy) but it's just my poor sense of humor, I suppose.
All in all I enjoyed playing it. Traveling through different dreams was interesting and even creepy in a way. Apparently I'm a legit tree hugger now. I learned from the best of the best.

Holy macaroni, where do I start?
This visual novel is one of the best ones that I've ever played. All the good visual novels come from Lemma Soft forums and not even quarter of them make it on Steam. It's been a while since I've played something new. It was a unique experience. It reminded me once again why I still love visual novels. Not the Sakura Spirit kind of visual novels that keep sucking your wallet and brain cells dry, or like Seduce Me the Otome that is merely an erotic fanfic for girls that haven't hit puberty yet (I wouldn't even call it a visual novel). I'm talking about the real quality here. Cupid only sounds cute but don't be fooled by the name. Have you ever wondered if that cheesy angelic kid isn't as pure and adorable as he's portrayed? The cupid is a hunter and he's not afraid to use his bow so he could feed on your poor hearts when the time is ripe. It's true that love has different faces. It's only pure in a certain relationship (mother and son, for instance). Still amazes me how one is able to love another without asking for something in return. And then there's a dark side of the moon. There can't be love without hate. The game shows you how twisted love can be and how fragile humans are. You can be the healthiest person around and with time you start asking what is happening to you. Your own mind, your own thoughts, words and actions seem so foreign. It's easy to go insane and yet it takes time. It's hardly noticable, too.

You play the Mother, you are behind the scenes. You're just a shapeless memory, still staying with your daughter throughout her existence to keep her on the right/wrong (whatever you choose) track. The daughter doesn't question you because she believes Mother knows best.

The whole story was remarkably well written. The music is amazing and the ambience is simply fantastic. Interesting characters and awesome artwork. The artwork is rather realistic.

Really enjoyed getting all the endings and then checking out the bonus. Guilleme is such a queen! Gotta love his colorful diary.
I will definitely play Who is Mike next. Also, thanks for recommending tinytim12 "I think my head is Darkness" vn. I'll check it out. Thank you for this brilliant visual novel.

Бесконечное Лето - отличная индея для различных модов и фанфиков. Как бы странно это ни звучало, мне намного больше нравятся всяческие моды на тему бесконечного лета. Сам оригинал-источник - так себе. Пройдя все концовки линейной игры, мне так никто и не полюбился из персонажей кроме главного героя. Хоть Семёна и не видно почти, но вот к нему я привязался. Ход его мыслей, как он потихонечку офигевает от всего происходящего и т.д. Все девочки будто куколки - никогда не знаешь когда тебе воткнут нож в спину.
А насчет модов - это уже отдельная история. Столько интересных модов, что во все не успеешь поиграть. Единственное, что я могу сказать с уверенностью это то, что в бесконечное лето стоит поиграть ради модов ну и вдохновения (для того, кто постоянно что то пишет да сочиняет).

Hide your kids, hide your wife. Geralt of Rivia is in the house.

Temeria will be victorious,
Long live Foltest!

Nothing in common but this trust
Saints Row is like a minus, GTA is like a plus
One going up, one coming down
But they seem to land on common ground
When things go wrong they make corrections
To keep things moving in the right direction
Try to fight it but I'm telling you Jack
It's true, ♥♥♥, opposites attract

"This statue ain't moving. Pretty much like everything else in my life."
One of my most favorite genres is point n' click and Daedalics are THE titans of point and clicks. I learn more about the characters if I explore everything. It takes me a while but I'm in no hurry. After all, that's how point and click should be played. No such thing as speed run. Everytime Daedalics tell a different story that makes me want to stay with characters longer. A pity every story has an end. The day will come when you'll have to bid farewell to your fictional friends.

This time it's a story about Sadwick the sad clown and Spot the caterpillar - his handsome sidekick and best friend. Sadwick is a lovable character. He's a lovely satirist and a courageous boy. Complains about problems but still tries his best to do everything in his power and can't leave things undone. He's not your casual hero that likes making promises and then break them. He's more like an anti-hero that doesn't care about fame and glory. He just wants to fix the big end-of-the-world problem. The nightmare that he has been having turned out to be a good excuse to start exploring the world. He is very insecure and has anxiety problems so I can relate to him. I wish I were as brave as that kiddo. Sadwick isn't as stupid and useless as his older brother Ben makes him feel. I've always wanted to punch that guy for bullying Sadwick. I could never forget about the awesome talking rock bros - Ralv and Yngo, that wanted to enslave the world with a rock hard fist but sadly they couldn't do anything but lie about. Grandpa's underpants are more useful than arrogant Bobby the Chaski. I played it in english and I like Sadwick's voice. Not sure why people think he has an annoying voice. I think it's quite adorable.
That game has a deep meaning and I would hate to ruin it with spoilers.
I just wonder how many of us would like to preserve the world they've been living in without changing anything or whatsoever and for what price.

Horror isn't usually my bowl of milk because I'm a ♥♥♥♥♥ (cat - a ♥♥♥♥♥cat! you and your censorship, you) but I wouldn't call this piece of art "horror"; it's creepy and weird. The music makes it even more creepy and the art is bloody beautiful. Unfortunately, it took me months to finish playing this lovely game since I'm a lazy nuthead and I would be lying if I said that it wasn't a confusing experience for me. The puzzles were nice; not too easy or too tough. The characters were interesting except of the MC. I did like little Cat, though. I could relate to her because (running away from home, feeling unneeded and worthless). Yes, I still feel like a kid in my twenties. The boy with a camera (to be honest, I thought it was a girl) reminds me of Flaky from Happy Tree Friends. I wish I'd get to know his name at least. He was there for Cat when no one else was.
This whole game is about letting your past go. Humans make mistakes and it's natural. Someone always ends up getting hurt one way or another. Sometimes there's nothing you can do or say to make things better. Even when it makes you feel useless and you start hating on yourself - just stop right there. You can't beat yourself up over everything you do. That's life, unfortunately. It takes long to learn how to live. Too long. How many of you people are truly happy? I'm not talking about material happiness. Appreciating and cherishing what you have is a good start. 2deep4you? I beg your pardon. You could listen to blaberings of an idiot or you could do whatever you feel is best for you (don't do drugs, kids). I never take my own advices and that's why I'm an idiot. I'm a sad human being. All in all - gg, bee gee. Staying alive and all.
I guess, curiosity didn't kill the Cat.

Forced myself to finish this game simply because I don't like the idea of unfinished business. Not the most original story and characters - gotta love revolution. Sometimes I felt as if all the drama was forced. Unfortunately, I didn't feel connected to the characters and this story; I just felt indifferent. I'm one of those people that still cry while rewatching the Lion King. Too linear, no freedom - nothing. Just push some buttons and watch the cutscenes.
The voice acting, music and concept are awesome. And the ending is fair. Nothing more than that.

Definitely one of my favorite games ever.
I got this game in a bundle and I left it in my library for far too long just because I didn't have any great expectations for this game. I just thought "ey, another rpg maker, oh well". Boy, was I wrong. I'm ashamed, what was I thinking?
This brilliant game made me laugh, cry, and ship characters. It's amazing how every NPC is interesting. My favorite NPC is the guard that is in love with food in Azureus. I find him so adorable everytime he becomes too excited and goes like "OH. OH. OHOHOH. IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS?" or "DON'T TEASE ME LIKE THAT!" I also felt really sad for the Dust creature that sacrificed himself. I cried as if I lost a friend. I wish there was another way. ??? will always stay in our hearts.
I'm glad the mc can actually communicate. It's nice to know that even a hero has a dark side. Nobody is perfect. And thief.. she's a tomboy and when you see the way she lets her red hair down and joins you in a dance...it feels you with determination! I like it when something gets red mage's attention. He's fascinated in a death machine and looks like a curious, overexcited kid. So what if he's an 'old man'? The way he cares for his friends makes me melt. I don't care that I named him Saruman.
The music is awesome, and the maps are fun to explore. Anyway, I'm so glad that I finally got to play this masterpiece. I wish more people knew about this game. It deserves more love.
You are a pirate!

You will enjoy this game and you will develop love or hate for some characters. Every one of them is so realistic. Just remember that it's all about the journey, not the destination. So don't hate the game only because you didn't like the ending. It's time travel and time travel is messed up. Ask Marty McFly and Doc Brown.
