The game of the month is....

Code Realize!

 

 

Code Realize is not actually a singular game. Rather, it's currently a series of games that has been released on the systems listed above, and it's most recent one is set to be released in February. Set in a Steampunk universe, Code Realize has a large cast of characters all based off of historical or fictional characters. You even get to date Herlock Sholmes! 

Cardia lives day to day isolated from the world in a restricted, abandoned mansion in order to fulfill her promise to her father. Her body carries a deadly poison that rots or melts anything that her skin touches - causing the locals to call her "monster" so her father told her to stay away from people and falling in love, but she suddenly disappears. One day, her quiet solitude is interrupted when the Royal Guards break in to capture her. That's when she meets the chivalrous thief Arsène Lupin who helps her break free from the Royal Guards. Cardia then finds herself on a journey with Lupin to locate her father. - Wikipedia

I'm playing that right now! Specifically "Bouquet of Rainbows". I'm mostly really enjoying it, I love how the heroine is the sort of Sad Monster Girl who never gets to be a protagonist. It gets pretty dark in places, and I have complicated feelings about it's handling of topics like colonialism, also it's AMAZINGLY inaccurate to the original books it's riffing on (I think it's the most innaccurate Dracula adaptation I've ever seen) and not all the LIs have really worked for me. Still, it's very well made and interesting and Victor Frankenstein is the most lovable angsty shy scientist ever.

I've been writing up reaction posts, I have one LI to go to be finished with the main game.
