This game is an artistic expression of love for the 80s, I like it a lot.
However I know it won't sell well because the players who can enjoy it and would be willing to purchase it are more than likely "too old for videogames". For younger players I could describe this as "A E S T H E T I C".
Visuals and animations are excellent while music perfectly suits every scene. Controls, combat and progression are flawed in some ways but it does not really matter, in my opinion the story and style compensate for it taking you on a journey worthy of a VHS tape that you loved to rewatch.
Keyword tag here is RETRO, do not expect a reinvention of the wheel or an incredible challenge, do expect a great experience based on computing/coding references and a carefully crafted atmosphere around a solid story.

Very much recommended, hoping to see more from Studio Koba in the future.
Mucha fuerza para la industria española del videojuego, ésta es la dirección correcta.

Mantises are smarter than I thought, learned a lot with this. The cake looked weird and the song was nice.
Anyway... Half-Life 3 when?

Though in life you will stumble, stammer and fall - though you will lose your loved ones and shed more tears than your eyes can muster - in time you can find peace on the planets you call home. A small creature waiting quietly for you, a smiling face from another stream, the silence as you breathe in the scent of a new season.
Let your heart remind you why you are here; let it tell you something new and something old. A mind remembers, but a heart knows.
I love me so that I can love you too - I've wanted to disappear before, but I've always wanted to return to see you. The grass and the leaves, the warmth of the sun and the insects at night.

I promised myself, and I promise you:

A victory is the reward of cumulative loss, ever present as a light at the end of the tunnel. Even in death, there is the lingering promise of new life - forever doomed to repeat the cycle.

It's getting dark. If you get lost it's alright, for now. I hope you enjoy the shooting stars. Rest in peace.

Short game with some implications about the cruel fate of sea life. Surely unrelated to current situation in Earth's oceans since it's all perfectly fine.
It's dark, controls are good, the speedrun achievement is a fair challenge.
I liked it.

I never cared much about history, I found it a boring subject and it was my worst nightmare during school. However I was always drawn to the idea that people were the same back then, gave me some comfort thinking that humans endured similar issues through our thousands of years living together.
Casina is a short game that unfolds like a theater play, has a nice atmosphere and suitable music while the characters try to stand over each other with complete voice lines. The decisions presented to the player have little impact in the story and the save function seems to have some problems however the lack of "videogame feeling" is compensated by the charisma of its characters and extravagant development.
I got angry and laughed while playing and I think that's the strong point here: The game easily conveys the feeling of the story and the kind of life people had in those days. I learned some stuff and got a little happy reliving this classical tale so I'll recommend it.

It's a small, indie game with a lot of details and secrets. The developer made an excellent use of resources, definitely worth playing.

When I find something that I really like, something special for me, I don't talk about it that much.
I'll just express my opinion and if someone listens then I'm happy but if nobody pays attention that's also fine, most people would only be awkward about it anyway. I learned this the hard way.
If you believe a work of fiction can evoke true feelings you should play DDLC.
If you've never felt the crushing grip of an existential crisis you should avoid DDLC.

The point is: I like this game and I recommend it.

I'd say this is better than the first one in every way. Sound improved a lot, we got some new items, weapons and enemies. I feel like the first game was a Doom map but this reminds me of other classics like Blood and Hexen. Has more "soul".
