Embraced By Autumn is a relaxing and sweet Visual Novel about love between girls with a twist, the protagonist is a cute cross-dressing boy! I’m a big fan of Yuri and crossdressing/gender-bender romance so I really had to play this. It is available on Steam and itch.io. Sceneries are well made and contributes a lot to the general atmosphere of the story I enjoyed the writing and ambiance.

Death End re;Quest is a game developed and produced by the Compile Heart/Idea Factory duo, released on PS4/Switch and PC. It’s a unique JRPG with a nice atmosphere, an unseen before combat system and a big emphasis on the story. The story is conveyed via text and pictures of characters, like a Visual Novel. The game is described as half VN and while I feel it’s far-fetched since a large part of JRPG choose to present their narration this way, Death End Request includes numerous choices similar to a VN.

Hello Charlotte Episode 1 is an exploration game made in RPG maker. It is free on itch.io so you can check it for yourself. There is no combat and you only interact with the map, talk with NPCs and avoid 1 or 2 slowly moving enemies. The game took me a bit more than an hour to beat. It is the first game in a series of 4 and other games are also available on Steam and itch.
