I've been very lucky this year as several horror-themed games with unique settings have come my way. I previously reviewed Paper Ghost Stories: Third Eye Open that takes place in Malaysia, and I also reviewed The DreadOut Collection which takes place in Indonesia. The game we're going to be looking at comes to us by way of a one-man development team known as KOEX Studio, and it's called Scarred. Going along with the theme of unique settings, Scarred takes place in Singapore. It's currently only available on PC via Steam, and we're going to see if this game is worth this long-winded intro. There's a lot to go over here, so let's dive right in!

It's not often that I get a chance to review a fighting game here at A-to-J, and even rarer that I get a chance to review one that comes from the indie scene. I'd imagine that creating a balanced fighting game from scratch is no small task, but that's exactly what Brazilian developer Statera Studios has set their sights on for years. Pocket Bravery came to life around 2020, though it took a while to get off the ground. After some other hiccups, its creator launched a (sadly unsuccessful) Indiegogo campaign in 2022, and eventually got a full release the following year. After a very long wait, the game is now available on consoles. It's on jut about everything current, but we're going to take a look at it on the PlayStation 4. There's going to be a lot to cover in this one, so let's dive right in!

Game Review: Sunseed Island

It's not often that I get the chance to review a cozy farming sim, so it makes sense that I jumped at the chance to play Sunseed Island. Sunseed Island is a game that’s as charming as it is cozy, and it comes to us by way of Red Deer Games. As far as I know it’s a Nintendo Switch exclusive, but that’s pretty much the unofficial home for these types of games anyway, so I don’t think anyone will be surprised by that fact. Seeing as I'm really excited to get into this one, let's just do away with any further intro, and dive right in!

Over the years I've reviewed several (maybe all?) of the games in the Moe Waifu H series, and I'm always down to check out "those" types of games. Each title in the Moe Waifu H series is an ecchi themed puzzle game of some sort, with Moe Waifu H Push-Box being a game in the Sokoban-like genre. It's out now on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft, and we're going to be taking a look at the Switch version here. This is going to be a quick one, so let's dive in!

Not too long ago I reviewed an RPG called Rainbow Moon and mentioned that I would be playing its sequel, Rainbow Skies, very soon. Even though I had no prior experience with its original PlayStation Vita release, I was excited to play it simply due to me loving the first game as much as I did. It also helps that there is a far newer Nintendo Switch version that is something of a definite release. That version is what we're going to be looking at here today, and it's brought to us by way of publisher EastAsiaSoft. As much as I'd love to continue this intro, there really is a lot to cover, so let's just get straight to the review!

Flying High Again: An Aokana - Four Rhythms Across The Blue Review

I've lost count of the number of visual novels I've reviewed during my time at A-to-J, but I keep reviewing them in the hopes of finding the ones that manage to stand out in a very crowded genre. Obviously each has its own quirks, but the content and flow often feels the same. Aokana - Four Rhythms Across The Blue (Which I'm going to refer to as simply "Aokana" from here on.) is a visual novel that contains the standard romantic routes one comes to expect, but places them into a sports anime-like setting. It's been out on the Switch and PC for quite a while now, and we're going to be taking a look at it on the Switch today. There's a lot to go over in this one, so let's just dive right in!
