I tried the Snowkissed Romance Demo and wrote a mini review
It's a stat-raising dating sim inspired by classic otome games like Tokimeki Memorial! There's also a kickstarter campaign running atm so I checked it out. Normally this should be totally my thing, but I was honestly kind of underwhelmed :/
Summary:
Pros:
- nailed the 90s anime/otome game aesthetic
- Music is good as well
- Everything is pretty
Cons:
- The love interests' sprites all share the same base
- There are no hover sound effects in many parts of the UI :< doesn't feel tactile
- The sprites are blurry when they are zoomed in and the demo overall lacks a little bit of polish
Has anyone else played it?
No, but I was intending to. Also seems totally like my thing.
I like stat-raisers for… huh, I have no idea why. I just do. It's fun. I actually do like the thing you hid in your spoiler, to be honest, as well as its opposite. After all,
Thanks for the review! I actually stopped the weekly threads because people did not usually post in them, and I figure it is more searchable and useful for folks to see review posts that typically mention a title instead of wading through tons of weekly threads CTRL+Fing or hoping searching by comments actually turns up the game and not (every single time I search Lemmy comments, every time) some unrelated political comment that happens to include the words they searched for.
