Urban Myth Dissolution Center is one of the Best Visual Novels
Urban Myth Dissolution Center is an episodic adventure game. It plays like a mix of a Visual Novel and a point-and-click adventure game. The graphics are similar to a PS game from the late 1980s but with modern pixel art. The game isn’t all that scary. It tries to be, but it is more comedicContinue reading “Urban Myth Dissolution Center is one of the Best Visual Novels”

Fantasy Map Simulator reminds me of games like SimEarth and SimAnt. There are probably a few others, but my mind went to the Sim family of games. This game is less involved than the SimCity games.

Interstate 35 has a Disappointing Story but Great Setting

This one is a more completeContinue reading “Interstate 35 has a Disappointing Story but Great Setting”
