Arctic Awakening delivers a short, atmospheric mystery: as a walking simulator you trek through gorgeous, music-driven landscapes, engage in thoughtful exchanges with Alfie, scavenge food and tools (with even “useless” items aiding Kai), and make choices that shape the ending—held back only by slightly clunky first-person climbing and minor bugs/clipping.

Echoes of the End starts as a visually rich adventure with intriguing worldbuilding, but suffers from clunky, unresponsive combat and awkward pacing. The lack of dialogue and stiff animations undermine the action, though clever environmental puzzles offer welcome relief. Myrkur Games shows promise, but needs polish to turn this into the smooth, engaging experience it could be.

Despite being the studio’s debut, Date Everything! nails what makes a visual novel dating sim work—memorable characters brought to life by stellar voice acting, clever design tied to each character’s object identity, layers of wordplay and humor, and engaging progression through limited daily interactions, quests, and text-based minigames, with the only downsides being a lack of new dialogue after reaching an ending and some minor bugs.

Wanderstop is a unique, thought-provoking game that explores themes of burnout, change, and anxiety, with slow, deliberate gameplay that reinforces its message, though the protagonist’s plastic-like appearance and clunky keyboard controls detract slightly from the experience, making it best played with a controller in a calm state of mind.
