0004 | which originally didn't get a header, whoops
Thursday, 20 June 2013 04:28 pmI really and truly hate moving, haha. It's just so stressful, and puts me in the worst mood. Uggghhh. I cannot wait for this to be over with.
Fortunately, I'm not actually moving things today, which is why I'm able to type out this entry right now. My mom put an ad in the newspaper for some things we got with the house that we don't actually need, and I get to be the lucky person who stays at home and takes care of the potential buyers. Yay.
(Except not, because social interaction. Save me.)
I've been spending my time playing a certain game (prepare for some massive fangirling later in this entry), but now I'm glued to the sale going on over at the Book Depository right now, so writing this fills in the time between each fifteen minute period quite nicely.
► Now, time for some more fangirling— this time, for indie otome games. Hopefully some of you already know this, but four days ago Zeiva (my absolute favorite indie developer), released Area-X (which can be bought here). It's a prequel (of sorts) to X-Note (which can be bought here), which some of you might remember as the game I spent the last two years rabidly fangirling. ^^;;
Anyways, if you like otome games, beautiful artwork, complex stories with complicated characters you can really fall in love with— play these games. Seriously, they're amazing.
I would recommend playing X-Note first, though. It's rougher than Area-X— the very beginning in particular, when the story is being set-up, feels rather rushed— mainly because certain events in Area-X lose their impact if you haven't played the first game, and there are some vague spoilers for certain plot twists in it. But yeah. They're both great games that have eaten away at my soul.
There are demos for both of them too, on Zeiva's website, if any of you all are curious.
► Before I get to the spoiler-y part of my Area-X fangirling, I want to talk about an otome game I played while waiting for Area-X to finish downloading. It's called Days of the Divine, and it's a free game that was made for NaNoRenO... this year, I believe? Anyways, it's rather good for a free otome game— on the top of my head, I can only think of one other one I liked better— and can be found here.
That being said, it's not perfect. ( some spoiler-y thoughts beneath the cut )
► Unfortunately, I need to get going now, so I won't be able to get to my (spoiler-filled) fangirling + thoughts over Area-X, at least not now. I haven't finished the game yet (I have one route left to play through, plus a variation on another route), so maybe I'll do it once I've finished that, so I can talk about it all in one entry. We'll see.
On a completely unrelated subject, I really need to get around to uploading more icons on this account.
