『••••• RECAP •••••』

In the blink of an eye, spooky month is over...  Last month was more of an art month for me. Hopefully I will be getting back to getting more review and article writing done this month.

Anyway, in my first blog post here, I said I was going to focus on only visual novel content for this newsletter-like blog. I then realized the blogs on Fuwanovel forums can be used for pretty much anything! So I am going to do just that; I won't be just sharing my reviews and articles of visual novel games, but whatever content I made the previous month. I guess this blog is going to shape more and more like a log of my works.

『••••• PUBLISHED REVIEWS & ARTICLES •••••』

• Hazel Sky by Coffee Addict Studio and Neon Doctrine
  
  Fix machines and soar into the skies in this story-rich puzzle adventure game! While I am not exactly impressed by the highly athletic Trials the protagonist has to pass to become an engineer, I enjoyed viewing the scenery, running about the islands, and playing guitar songs.

• Paper Ghost Stories: 7PM by Cellar Vault Games and Chorus Worldwide Games
  
  Join three children in this horror narrative game as they encounter strange happenings around their neighborhood during the lunar seventh month. This is the first installment of the Paper Ghost Stories series and it certainly sets an interesting opening. I am most drawn in by its setting in Malaysia and theme centered on the Hungry Ghost Festival.

• 《半梦夜行 ~A Journey on Limbus~》by MxLucid
  
  For my debut review on Fuwanovel, where my plan is to review untranslated Chinese visual novels, I picked this indie denpa visual novel that turns out to have some really peculiar events and disturbing imagery — totally apt for spooky month!

『••••• THINGS TO DO THIS MONTH •••••』

• Play Of Frost and Flowers by Elseth!
  
  What started out as an Otome Jam 2022 entry is finally released as a full OELVN! I am putting this on my list because I helped out as a proofreader and alpha-tester. 
  
  Check out Of Frost and Flowers on Itch.io here.

• Play Arcadia Fallen by Galdra Studios!
  
  Jump into more magical adventures this November! Follow a young alchemist apprentice and friends as they try to save the world with their wit and strength. This OELVN has a heartwarming story, which makes it a good company through chilly nights.
  
  Check out my review of Arcadia Fallen on NookGaming here.

• Play Red-Handed Robin by Hollowmend!
  
  Maybe you do not want to be a hero who saves the world? Then perhaps being a thief who is on the run might interest you for yet another adventurous November. Lie to get your way in this short NaNoRenO 2020+ entry but be careful and don't get caught red-handed!

『••••• FANWORK SHOWCASE •••••』

As a Halloween special, I drew NookGaming's mascot dressed up as Kanna from Café Stella and the Reapers' Butterflies (Yuzusoft & NekoNyan)

『••••• FOOTER STUFF •••••』

I have quite a bit of stuff lined up this November, and hopefully I can get them published in time to share with all of you here by my next monthly round-up!

Thank you for reading and have a great month ahead~
