This was a childhood game of mine! I remember seeing a youtube video over a decade ago that was a playthrough of this game and as a kid I almost thought I had made this entire thing up in my head. BUT! It was real!! After several years I finally found and and knew I had to buy and play it for myself. Still as great as I recalled. Even after all these years I'm happy I didn't forget Nil.

I've played this game last year, and totally loved it, light but very interesting and fun visual novel, I remember enjoying replaying it to get the different endings, and probably will play it again ^^

Another Nami game that I played almost 10 years ago! Love the tone and time bending mechanics of this one, played with the visual novel format in a very clever way.

The game is short, but Like every NomnomNami, It's really good. The story is quite nice and yuriful. I recommend checking NonnomNami's Itch.io page for more free queer games like this (Or steam page)

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
