Review by Matt S. Before we get into talking about the game’s many (many) merits, I want to start by saying that Cross The Moon is so incredibly inspiring to me. It’s a visual novel made on a hyper-indie budget and, as a person making my own VNs on hyper-indie…

Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Sumire is one of the biggest surprises and biggest delights of 2021. This heartfelt (and heartrending) little story about a girl filled with regrets and hurt is a powerful reflection on spirituality, humanity, sadness, warmth and hope. It’s a game that will make you cry, but…
