Games I Experienced 7/12/25-8/15/25

I started an awesome new physical gaming (and reading) journal this month and it's really been encouraging me to play more games more actively. I was also on vacation for a week so I got a lot of gaming done then. Hence it only took me a month to experience twenty games!

Amnesia: The Bunker (watched: Laila Dyer): I have no interest in playing survival horror games myself but Laila always makes it seem so easy. Watching her is calming!

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy (played): I'm taking a break after the first game in the trilogy, which I think is absolutely fine so far.

Beglitched (watched: Circe the Hex Witch): This is such a cute game :) The Let's Player had played the game before, which is not my favorite kind of Let's Play, but the upside is that this allowed her to end the series with a kind of video essay on the themes and story and why she enjoyed them so much, which was very cool.

Chrono Trigger (watched: PlayFrame): I'm a little too spoiled on modern games to find the story and characters in this one at all intriguing but I'm glad Dan enjoyed it.

Date Everything! (played): I could very well be dating real men if I felt like it, but at this point playing Date Everything! feels like an "instead" kind of thing instead of an "also".

Decarnation (watched: adricarra): Haven't gotten far in this one but it seems very cool. And hits a little too close to home, I am also a 29-year-old woman.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (watched: Welonz): I'm sorry, this game just seems awful. Stuffed to the brim with unfun minigames with a completely aimless, repetitive story. I've never heard Welonz complain about a game (or you know, barely contain herself from complaining) this much before.

Golden Idol Investigations: The Age of Restraint (played): No one gives the Golden Idol team enough credit for their incredible worldbuilding.

Inspector Waffles (played): Cat detective adventure game. Like, they made this game specifically for me to enjoy.

Kentucky Route Zero (played): I want to read and write academic essays about this game. A masterpiece.

Lisa the Hopeful (watched: GSDBoxer): I don't understand wanting to make a Lisa fangame. Like, expanding on the gameplay is fine and all, but once we've gone through Brad and Buddy, the only characters left to make into protagonists are, you know, all those awful men who want to rape Buddy. Why would you want to play as one of them?

Mission: It's Complicated (played): I dunno man, I think romance games are just better when all the characters are bisexual. Real life would be better too.

Promise Mascot Agency (played): I feel like I'm never going to finish this game. I like it! I just can't bring myself to record my Let's Plays, and it feels like I'm not very far along in this one despite being up to twenty episodes already.

Semblance (played): A solid (ironically, given the concept) puzzle-platformer.

Super Metroid (watched: Quasimofo): I stopped watching current Let's Play series pretty fast, but I'm glad I tried watching them for a little while, since it led to me watching this series. Experiencing a classic for the first time through the eyes of someone who's also experiencing it for the first time. Priceless.

Unpacking (watched: Welonz): Welonz doesn't know what a dreidel is. She called it a fidget toy. Sad times.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (watched: Kikoskia): Second time I'm attempting to subject myself to this gross game. This is what child me thought video games were when she thought they were just for boys.

Welcome to Elk (played): The worst feeling in the world to me is to dislike something that other people generally like. My review was one of the only negative ones on Backloggd and that makes me feel really sad, like I'm missing something that could bring me joy.

Wildermyth (watched: Quasimofo): I think there was a time when I was interested in this game, and now I'm glad I didn't buy it for myself because it seems way too complicated for my tastes. But I'm glad I have it in my current rotation of Let's Plays because the rest is all horror games and dudebro-poisoned games and this one is cute and light (tonally, at least).

Your Turn to Die (watched: adricarra): It really started to lose me when it introduced the Dummies. And it's still not over?!?!

And my first game spread in my gaming/reading journal! Having this journal is definitely an incentive to get me to finish games and books fast, because when I’m done I get to make a page!

I had a LOT of cats-in-boxes stickers and I used the last of them on this page

I tried the new markers and I loved it! No one forced me to draw the waffle, I did it myself...

The key art for the Inspector Waffles prequel was released today (tweet here) and I think I did an incredible job on it so I'm sharing it here too with a couple of early versions ^^

The main prompt was that this would be a gameboy color game so I tried to go hard on those saturated 90's colors
