PersistentDreamer's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Homecoming]

As someone who isn't trans, this spoke to me. I think there's something extremely relatable about this, the estrangement, political division, the fear and lack of understanding and acceptance. I think many people are going through this right now. Hate has torn so many families apart. I can't image how much worse it must be for someone in the trans community to go through this.

I'm not normally a crier, but I confess this brought me to tears. It hit a little too close to "home." Thank you for making it.

It means an awful lot to me to hear this. I made this first and foremost for myself as a way to cope with my own fear, but I had always hoped it might help other folks too. I know we live in an incredibly tense and stressful time, and I just wanted to make something that avoids that stark black and white headspace we all get into when things get heated.

People are complicated, and there's no easy way to fix everything that we disagree on, but if we learn to listen instead of acting out of sheer impulse, we might be able to make a little progress in time.

[Diner in the Storm]

I'm really glad I didn't judge this book by the cover. When I first saw the stick art I thought, "well maybe it'll be okay" since a lot of visual novel style games use art to carry it.

But this isn't just a novel. Every choice impacts the story. It reminds me of Scriptwelder's Don't Escape.

And the game was so amazing that the stick art wasn't an issue at all and actually made the game work I think. In fact I think if you used fully drawn character portraits it wouldn't have been as engaging. Somehow it just works.

[Tales From The Arcade: Starship Murder]

Game seems great, but once I've discovered who I think the killer is, I have no idea how to stop the ship from blowing up last jump, or how to take the killer out. *edit it takes practice but I figured it out.* awesome idea for a game.

[GIMMIKO DEMO]

Never had this much fun with a tutorial boss before!

What I like about this game is that, win or lose you want to keep playing because it's simply just fun.

I realize the purchase of the dice is this complicated thing with purposely obscure rules, and that adds to the quirkyness, but part of me just wants to know what all that stuff means without remembering the tips from the shopkeep and decoding all that stuff.

[The Mysterious Cat Tower - Chapter I]

For some reason, the loading is very laggy, but then the actual game is fine. Just wanted to give you heads up.

Oh also there's a bug where talent point menu goes black randomly and won't let you assign anything.

[Puppet Fighting]

Knife throw only goes in one direction. Like the crunch SE. Some kind of intro would be cool. Pretty cool though.
