Finished Cat Quest II. I love how polished the game is.

Going to start Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition (though I am playing on PS, my first primary game on PS this year). It has been on my radar for so long, and with the 2nd one announced, thought it's time I finally play through it.

Would probably also start some smaller, non-story heavy game on Switch, to play alongside with it, haven't decided which one to start yet.

What about all of you? What have you been playing?

Playing Lunaria: Virtualized Moonchild!

Almost exactly an year ago I finished Planetarian, a classic visual novel that was also the first game from the "Kinectic Novel" series - a Visual Arts brand for VNs without any choices or branches in the storyline, more akin to a visual book than a game.

So I thought it was appropriate to celebrate this anniversary by playing Lunaria, another Kinetic Novel from the same studio (Key, of Clannad fame) that I had just received in the mail.

One of the things that drew me to both these games is that I'm a huge sci-fi fan, and both deal with interactions between AIs and humans. However, they take very different approaches to this theme - Planetarian is bittersweet story focused on the contrast between the post-apocalyptic present and the small glimpse of a better past the MC encounters, while Lunaria is a much brigher slice-of-life story with focus on VR and e-sports.

The plot so far is the typical "boy meets cute (AI) girl, romance starts to develop between them", but this being a Key game I'm already expecting something tragic to happen in the latter parts of the story - there's already some hints of a bigger plot around the AI girl's origins and circumstances.
