[blog] JK's Backlog Battle

24/02/2024 - HunieCam Studio Completion.
Current Backlog: 677
Currently Playing: 11

In this game players take control of a sleazy cam girl operation.
Rake in stacks of filthy internet money and attract as many disgusting degenerate fans
as you can in this clicker type business tycoon / management sim game!

In HunieCam Studio your job is to recruit cam models from an eclectic cast of cuties who have probably made some poor life choices.
You get to manage their daily errands/activities to keep them stress-free and productive.
There is a way to Invest in various aspects of your business to improve functions and expand operations.

The description calls this a fast-paced clicker, but as a fan of clicker games,
to me it doesn't really seem all that fast paced. Clicking feels slow even after upgrades and the gameplay is quite boring.
The game at least knows that some people probably got interested in this game because of its sexual content,
so they added a text about it being poor fapping material in the description, which is correct. Not that I tried,
but it is clearly more humor based. The character designs were fun and unique though,
and there was a lot of humor revolving around the stereotypes of certain girls.

I do think it's an alright game, but I don't really feel like it was worth my time.
It's underwhelming and would have needed some more variety in gameplay to be interesting.
Automation would have also helped in my opinion, because currently it feels like an idle game without the idle,
if you get what I mean. Not recommended.

28/02/2024 - Lazarus A.D. 2222 Completion.
Current Backlog: 680
Currently Playing: 11

💗 This game was gifted to Indie Therapy for review.

This game was the only one I played from a three part series.
Playing this game doesn't require you to have played the others,
but if you have played them you probably understand some details more.

Lazarus A.D. 2222 is a hand-drawn experience of a visual novel game where the story is interesting,
the visuals are often psychedelic and humor is relatively funny. The artwork is really interesting style
and it's complimented with the extra visual effects very well. The character designs were interesting to say the least
and I believe I will have nightmares of that one dude with lots of eyes.

Gameplay consists of visual novel styled text and choices that affect the way the story goes forward,
and as well as two minigames, a hacking minigame and a fighting rock-paper-scissors typed minigame.
As a fan of VNs it was very enjoyable and the minigames added a nice little twist to the gameplay.
There was some unskippable scenes that I didn't find enjoyable, but otherwise it was fun.

Overall it's a solid game and worth playing. Would recommend.

06/03/2024 - LEWDAPOCALYPSE Completion.
Current Backlog: 684
Currently Playing: 11

Honestly speaking a great game for any adult game enjoyer.
It's a well made game with solid gameplay, good looking scenes and fun animations.
The game doesn't take itself too seriously, as it tries to be a hentai parody version of Resident Evil series,
and it very much succeeds at it.

The base game of LEWDAPOCALYPSE contains a wide array of different scenes to unlock,
three different endings for the game and a new game + mode that will make your journey
through playing the game on higher difficulties more enjoyable. Speaking of the different difficulties,
the difficulty ramps up quite a lot in my opinion when you switch from normal to hard and then to Hardcore.
If you are looking for a casual hentai game to fap to, then don't go harder than normal,
you won't have any time to do anything except try to shoot zombies and other monstrosities.

In the end it's definitely a solid game to play and you can even actually enjoy it without looking at boobs
and other parts with the censoring mode, if you so wish to. Highly recommended since it is only 1€ at it's highest price.
- Marisa (JK)

08/03/2024 - The Red Button Completion.
Current Backlog: 686
Currently Playing: 11

💗 This game was gifted to Indie Therapy for review.

It's not really a game at all, you just open the game, wait for an hour while some lady screams at you
to press the button in the background and in the end the button turns grey
and you get a password to the dev's private reddit forum. That's it.

Easy for achievements I guess,
but it was an hour of my life wasted by doing nothing pretty much lol.
Not worth it in my opinion.
- Marisa (JK)

08/03/2024 - Hidden Winter Cats Completion.
Current Backlog: 685
Currently Playing: 11

💜 This game was gifted to Catizens Curations for review.

Cute game filled with 100 hidden cats! The artwork is simple yet very cute.
Finding the cats were very easy though, and I would have wished for a little bit more of a difficulty,
or more levels to balance out the game being so easy to complete.

Definitely a great free addition to the hidden cats assemble of games,
but I hope they add updates in the future for the game to have more content!
If you want to support the developer, they also have a DLC level that you can get for under 1€.
It adds another 100 cats, but doesn't add any new achievements, so it's not a must if you just want to 100% the game.

I will definitely recommend it, since it's a free game with cute cats,
but don't expect a huge amount of gameplay in this one!
- Marisa (JK)

09/03/2024 - Sippy Disco: Light Up the Dance Floor Completion.
Current Backlog: 684
Currently Playing: 11

💗 This game was gifted to Indie Therapy for review.

Are ya ready to turn your groove on and light up the dance floor with Sippy the Unicorn!?
Sippy Disco is a casual puzzle game where you must light up the dance floor with Sippy
without stepping on the same square more than once! Though since this is a more casual experience,
you are not forced to step on squares only once, that is only required if you wish to get a 100% scoring on a level.

Sippy partners up with their friend Parrots, who you can see are grooving on the dance floor with some funky skates on!
The difficulty of the puzzles gets higher as you need to control Sippy, but also the Parrots simultaneously.
It's still not too hard and is a very family friendly game, where even younger members of the family could enjoy the game!

The artstyle is unique and lovely, it has a "drawn by a child" feeling, but in a good way.
There is different decorations you can get for Sippy The Unicorn and as well as different colors.
The black background of the game also highlights the colorful dance floor quite nicely.

My only gripe with the game is that there isn't really a good instructions on how the game works,
there is some dialogue on what to do in the first levels, but as you go further it gets more difficult
and often has some issues. There also was no way of knowing how to collect the cookies,
I had to ask another gamer about it, because I had no idea how to get them, as I was seemingly getting them just randomly.
I also believe that it would be great if there was a hint option added for the game, as it would help the game be more family friendly for sure!

Other than that, the game was very fun to play and lovely experience.
I do hope the devs will keep improving this lovely game and others will be interested in playing through it!
Great game, highly recommended!

09/03/2024 - Machine Heart Completion.
Current Backlog: 683
Currently Playing: 11

An interesting school project game that keeps you busy for about an hour of your time, give or take.
Machine Heart tells a story about robots, human consciousness and gives you the choice of deciding the fate of humanity.

The art in this game was really pretty and the design was great.
I was kinda laughing at the animations as they were a little bit wonky, but they weren't too bad!
The voice acting was lovely and the story was interesting as well.

I had a little bit of troubles with some bugs that were almost game breaking,
but I reinstalled the game and continued from my save to thankfully get past it.
You shud still be aware that there can be bugs in this game
and some might cause you to have to start the game over, reinstall the game or load a save.

Taking all of that into consideration,
I really think it's a great free game and definitely worth checking out!
- Marisa (JK)

20/03/2024 - Broghurt Completion.
Current Backlog: 690
Currently Playing: 12

It was a pretty good adult visual novel about gay collage students having a house party and the consequences of that party after it.
The art was pretty good, though the animations were a bit weird and the fact that you could make then faster or slower was also a bit odd.
Other than that I really enjoyed it. The stories were somewhat superficial and rushed,
and didn't have much going on for them, but it was still a good time.
And it's a free game, so you can't complain too much!
- Marisa (JK)

22/03/2024 - CAT & ONION Completion.
Current Backlog: 689
Currently Playing: 12

💜 This game was gifted to Catizens Curations for review.

Absolutely amazing little game where you play as an orange talking Cat who has to go on a quest to find ingredients for pancakes,
that the Cat will make with their friend the Squirrel! There is twists and turns in the story and it's a lovely little thing,
around an hour long (for me atleast). Achievements are related to finding all the secret cat portraits in the game, so it was rather simple to 100%.

The game has a lovely pixel artstyle with a matching color palette through-out the game.
The animations for everything is so simple, but oh so lovely to look at! There is even a ledge climbing animation,
which had me squealing because it was so cute. You can also use butter to make the Cat slick so you can go through smaller holes.
It's so adorable and silly in all the right ways.

You get to fly in an onion to space, which goes out to a different space entirely, but it's a much bigger space,
but to get out of that space you go up and then under the space, to find a talking acorn who sucks you inside it's head space,
and then you find yourself back in your own space, and eventually you fly to actual space.
Try to wrap your head around that! or don't, and just play the game.

The soundtrack was so lovely and relaxing as well, I loved to listen to it and just jump around as the cat.
Definitely going to find that on my music streaming service and add to my playlist of soundtracks I love. Perfection!

It's definitely a recommended from me, it's super cheap,
super fun and extremely cute! Get it now!
- Marisa (JK)

Reading your battle backlog is awsome it's like you level up after each post!!

pretty much, as long as you dont look at the backlog number too carefully (i feel like it raises more than it goes down lmao)

31/03/2024 - Winter Valley Hike Completion.
Current Backlog: 689
Currently Playing: 12

It's a pretty average walking simulator. It has pretty looking graphics and a fitting, chill soundtrack, but that's it.
There is no story, nothing exciting in the map and the environment is pretty repetitive.
You have a few Hike Goals that you need to find, but they were pretty easy to find as long
as you had a method to your walking around the map.

As this was winter themed and one of my favorite winter themed walking simulators is Chionophile,
I wanted to compare the two a little bit. Both have nothing special in them, no story or anything,
but somehow Chionophile makes the atmosphere more realistic and enjoyable.
I feel like if Winter Valley Hike would have had the crunch of the snow under the character's feet,
or the occasional animal here and there, it would have had a better score from me.

That being said, it's not really worth it to buy, unless you get it for free,
then by all means play it. It's quite short.
- Marisa (JK)

04/04/2024 - I Commissioned Some Cats 0 Completion.
Current Backlog: 712
Currently Playing: 12

Very fun and colorful hidden object game where you are tasked in finding cats and balls of yarn in 15 different beautifully drawn artworks.
The artworks vary by the artist's artstyle and different styles proved more difficult in regards to finding the stuff you needed to find.
Regardless it was very fun and not too difficult.

I really enjoyed it, though some artworks were bit of an eyesore (giving little bit of a headache) due to the color palette or thickness of lineart,
but all of them were so beautiful and I wanted to keep looking at them forever!

The soundtrack was very interesting and each artwork had their own song playing.
I wasn't really a fan, so I muted it and listened to my own music while playing,
but you don't really need to hear the music to fully enjoy the game.

I am a bit dumb so I accidentally started playing the same stages over again with the different "folders"
which I assume were meant for different playthroughs/people. I thought they were somehow different
and didn't realize that they indeed were not for more than an hour of playing lol. Regardless I managed to finish the game
and got a little extra time in there as well.

Very beautiful, very chill and fun, and most importantly, it's free!
Everyone should try out this game.
- Marisa (JK)

15/04/2024 - Furry Shades of Gay Completion.
Current Backlog: 711
Currently Playing: 12

I don't think this game requires much explanation on what it is, but I will give you a good review anyway.

Furry Shades of Gay is a visual novel type of game with Match 3 puzzle gameplay between each branching story option.
Your success in the Match 3 game at each branch affects the choices you can select,
though most of the time you can select freely as getting the choices unlocked is rather easy.

The gameplay is solid and fun, the artwork and animation are actually pretty good and honestly hot,
and the writing is decent, but nothing ground breaking. The game does have voice acted scenes,
but some sounds were not entirely realistic and sometimes broke the immersion a little bit.
It's easy to tell that this game isn't your regular shovelware hentai game out here on steam.
You can tell that there was actual effort put into the game and I enjoyed that more than anything else in the game.

Other than that I don't really have much to say about this one, it's porn, it's furry.
It's pretty alright and I enjoyed 100% it. It's very much 100% gay, but I'm sure you got that from the name alone.
If you want this kind of content, it's a good recommendation for it, and I think the price of it isn't half bad either.
I definitely recommend it.
- Marisa (JK)

23/04/2024 - Synthetic Lover Completion.
Current Backlog: 710
Currently Playing: 12

Step into the world of Synthetic Lover, where it is the year 2066
and the futuristic world has managed to create android companions,
biologically engineered humanoids a.k.a Biots, that are almost identical to humans.
They are the majority of the workforce in this world and are considered as items or any other tech.

You play as a Biot, Unit 352, who works as a sexual companion biot at an establishment called Dollhouse.
His days go on as normal until crossing paths with an opportunistic thief called Bastian
and a mysterious device in his possession that causes Unit 352 to start feeling more human-like feelings.

Synthetic Lover is a BL/Yaoi visual novel game with 2 main love interests, 1 extra side romance,
7 different endings and a fully voice acted story. There is also a free 18+ Adult Only patch DLC
that you can get which will make certain scenes extra spicy!

As a fan of BL/Yaoi VNs this was definitely one of the more good ones in my opinion!
The story was super interesting to me and I loved all the scenes. The art is so beautiful
and the fact that the whole game is voice acted was fantastic! There was a few hiccups here and there
with some voice lines being in the wrong order, but they were not that bad and there were just a few of those.

I really enjoyed this game and I definitely would recommend it to any BL/Yaoi VN lovers.
Definitely recommend getting the free 18+ patch as well, as long as you are of age.
Definitely worth the high price tag.
- Marisa (JK)

02/05/2024 - Cattie Completion.
Current Backlog: 709
Currently Playing: 12

Looking for a cute cat, retro feel and a little bit of challenge? Then this game is for you!

Cattie is a challenging platformer game with retro pixel graphics.
With each level, the difficulty steadily increases, introducing new mechanics and enemies that will put your platforming skills to the test.
The game has 100 levels total, but to me that felt a little too many levels. You first play 50 levels and then you play the 50 levels in reverse for a total of 100.

It's definitely a good game, but I feel like its too long. It took me 70 hours and a little over to complete the 100 levels.
The art is fun and the soundtrack is great. The cat is very cute.

I do recommend this game, just be aware that it might take longer to complete.
- Marisa (JK)

05/05/2024 - Eternal Threads Completion.
Current Backlog: 710
Currently Playing: 12

I played this game for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by La Volpe.

As an operative tasked with fixing corruption in the timeline, you have been sent to the North of England in May 2015,
where six people died in a house fire. Prohibited from simply stopping the fire, you must instead manipulate
the choices made by the housemates in the week leading up to it so that they all survive the event.

Eternal Threads is a single-player, first-person story-driven puzzle game of time manipulation, choice and consequence.
You watch through scenarios to unravel the personal stories of the six people you are tasked to save,
while changing their choices along the way to make sure they survive the night of the fire.
You can also work through their personal issues while you are at it, which leads to a "perfect ending".

It's definitely an awesome storytelling game that is well written and it combines the ordinary together with the futuristic mundane.
It was really hard to just stop playing and I felt like I could have played it from start to finish in one setting if I had the time.
The stories of the different characters were very good and really had me hooked. The burned down house was at times creepy
and gave a little bit of suspense to the whole game while playing.

The game wasnt too difficult to 100% and I really had a blast while playing it.
It's definitely a good game to play if you enjoy choices, time manipulation and a good,
well written story. Highly recommended!
- Marisa (JK)

09/05/2024 - Stray Completion.
Current Backlog: 711
Currently Playing: 12

I played this game for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Escollo.

Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed,
neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly.
You get to play as a cute orange cat who gets separated from it's family and the goal is to find your way back home to the outside world.
Time to solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by curious droids
and dangerous creatures and make new friends along the way!

It's an absolutely fantastic story with fun gameplay and lovely characters.
The main character, the stray cat, is adorable and has very realistic cat movement and mannerisms.
Your companion droid, B-12, that you meet along the way, is very adorable little robot with an interesting backstory
that unravels as you go forward and collect it's memories along the way.

I felt like this game combined some of my favorite things about games; cats, exploration, collectibles,
emotional turmoil and impressive scenery. It really was one of the more enjoyable gaming experiences I have had the pleasure of playing.
The soundtrack was also super good and I can't wait to give it a listen later and add it to my spotify list.

I think this is one of those games everyone should play!
So I highly recommend this to anyone who is atleast a little bit interested,
and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
- Marisa (JK)

28/05/2024 - Autumn Spirit Completion.
Current Backlog: 720
Currently Playing: 12

A melancholic love story between a woman, named Clarisse (the main character's name can be changed),
escaping her busy life as a surgeon, and the spirit of a deceased young man, named Nathan.
On a fateful day, they are led together by the spirit of Nathan's dog, Ulysses, the most goodest boy.

Autumn Spirit is a lovely, yet surprisingly emotional visual novel-styled game with an amazing story and characters.
The game left me in tears and the emotion that the characters had was felt by me through the screen very strongly.
The dog was also a great addition to the game and it made me sad at times.

I highly recommend this game, definitely worth every penny I spent on it!
- Marisa (JK)

30/05/2024 - Metal: Hellsinger Completion.
Current Backlog: 720
Currently Playing: 11

I won this game through SteamGifts.
I played it for Pay or Play 2nd Cycle of 2024 and it was picked for me by Escollo.

Metal: Hellsinger is a rhythm based FPS game where you need to fire, reload, dodge,
murder and mayhem to the beat of the soundtrack. It is really a lovely game,
with amazing gameplay and smooth experience even for those of us who suck at rhythm-based games.

In the game you play as The Unknown, who has lost her voice to The Judge,
and her journey is narrated by this skull, who you can also use as a weapon on your journey.
She wants her voice back, and she's going to get it by force. The story was pretty good,
I do think there was some things that could have been better, and I feel like the game doesn't shine in this aspect,
but it was not bad at all.

Many reviews on steam say that it's basically a really awesome album that comes with a free game attached.
That's a pretty accurate statement in my opinion. The soundtrack is absolutely a banger
and I really, really, really, REALLY need it to come to spotify. I am still hopeful, even after all this time since release.

I played the game on the easiest difficulty and with the "always on beat" setting,
because I remembered playing the demo when it was about to release and having rage quitted it,
because I just couldn't do it. It's not you, it's me situation lmao. I can't do rhythm games,
but this was absolutely one of those games that I had to experience myself.

Now, I know i've talked about the game already a lot, but let me just say,
the final battle with my favorite song from the soundtrack, No Tomorrow (featuring Serj Tankian), was SO GOOD!
Like, the song makes it 100x times more amazing and cool. It's just so beautiful. I loved every second of this.

It's definitely a game I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys rhythm based games,
and FPS games similar to DOOM. It is absolutely worth every penny it costs.
- Marisa (JK)

30/05/2024 - TaskPals Completion.
Current Backlog: 719
Currently Playing: 11

I have played a couple of different types of desktop pet games and applications recently,
and I have to say, this one has really great artstyle and looks very cute, but lacks in literally anything else.
There is good amount of settings, but you cant raise the pets to be on top of your taskbar,
as the application only allows you to raise them just a specific amount.

You can select whichever pet you want, which is really nice, but there is no actual mechanics to the pets,
on keeping them happy or fed, or to be able to play with them. I believe the developers plan on updating
the app some more in the future, so I hope these updates will include some actual mechanics to the application.

Sadly I cannot recommend it at this time of its life,
and will instead towards you to some other desktop pet application, as there are a lot of them out there.
My opinion on this might change eventually, if more content is added.
- Marisa (JK)

Wow, you've been on a roll with completions the past couple days. Well done.

Wow, you've been on a roll with completions the past couple days. Well done.

I feel like I've not done much of a dent, but I am glad it seems like it atleast lol

03/06/2024 - Broken Dreams Correctional Center Completion.
Current Backlog: 722
Currently Playing: 10

This one was alright for a text-based adult RPG game. I have played only one other such game before, Lilith's Throne,
and as I think that one is a lot better, this one was pretty good as well. I would have wished for more customization,
but the added puppet animations were a nice touch.

I definitely recommend this for those who enjoy BDSM themes and furry stuff.
If you aren't a fan of either, I wouldn't recommend you to try this, as it has a lot of both of those.
- Marisa (JK)

11/06/2024 - Bubble Dogs Completion.
Current Backlog: 721
Currently Playing: 10

💗 This game was gifted to Indie Therapy for review.

Similar to the popular Suika Watermelon Game, Bubble Dogs is a puzzle game
where you must combine family of dogs (mother, father and their pup) to clear them from your board.
You drop down bubbles of dogs from the top, and try to make combinations. The more combinations you get,
the more points you get and you also get special items as well.

I wasn't really a fan of this one. I played a similar Suika game earlier called Zooplop, which was very enjoyable,
but this one felt a little too rough around the edges. With some refinement however,
you could make the game worthy of the player's time.

It's a cheap game though, and if you want a simple game to play, you could probably enjoy this one.
Still, I wouldn't personally recommend this one.
- Marisa (JK)
