Recommended New Games on Steam

1, "Mystery Dungeon: Foresight", a dungeon exploration RPG featuring characters from "Touhou Project"!

Do you like so-called "Mystery Dungeon" type RPGs?
This genre, represented by games such as "Shiren the Wanderer," can be quite addictive once you get into it, but it takes some time to get used to it. The "Fushigi no Genshou -FORESIGHT-" introduced here is a title that stands out for its ease of play among such dungeon RPG titles.

This is a dungeon exploration RPG based on "Toho Project," a group of bullet-hell shooting games produced by Shanghai Alice Fantasy Group.
This work is a derivative work of "Touhou Project," and many familiar characters such as Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame appear in the game. However, even if you are not familiar with the original, you can play the game without any problems, so please do not worry about that.

First, let us start with the story of this work.

The main character is Reimu Hakurei, a shrine maiden who lives at the Hakurei Shrine on the border between Gensougo and the outside world. One day, she loses a battle with someone and faints. When she wakes up, she finds herself in the usual Hakurei Shrine. Unable to remember what she was doing, Reimu sets out with her friend Marisa Kirisame to solve the problem. Will Reimu be able to save Gensougo from the hands of someone or something? ......

The story is full of mysteries, including a battle with a powerful enemy, amnesia, and anomalies that occur. The dialogue is well voiced and adds a lively touch to the story, which is also a nice touch.

The game is played in a 2D style with a lowered viewpoint. The player's objective is to conquer dungeons whose structure changes each time he or she enters, while defeating enemies and finding items and equipment. Actions are turn-based, so when the player acts, the enemies in the dungeon act next, and then the player acts again and ...... repeats the process.
In addition to HP, the player has a parameter called "satiety," which decreases with the passage of turns, and the player needs to eat food items before becoming hungry.

The system and play feel are generally orthodox for a "Mystery Dungeon" type title, making it easy to play for those who have played this genre before, as well as for those who have never played it before.

What is the unique feature of this title?
The game is full of easy-to-play and comfortable systems that are designed to be "roguelite," meaning that users who are not familiar with dungeon exploration RPGs can easily and enjoyably play it. For example, if you get hit in the middle of a dungeon and are returned to the starting point, Hakurei Shrine, your items and current level in the story dungeon will continue without being lost.

Furthermore, it is possible to fast-travel to a specific point that you have already passed. This system allows even players new to dungeon exploration RPGs and roguelites to enjoy the game with ease. However, the game is also filled with the tension of the Mystery Dungeon series, with traps and hunger getting the player into trouble at once, and powerful boss battles that make the player's hands sweat, so the game is safe for beginners, but the game's playability is not compromised, which is a major feature.

In addition to the ease of play, this game has many elements that make it challenging. One of these is the "board. This is a kind of skill tree that can be acquired through encounters with the inhabitants of the fantasy world, such as solving anomalies and resolving character problems, and it is an element that can strengthen the character by raising his/her basic stats. This will help you in your strategy, as the more you play, the stronger and stronger you will become.

There is also a base element that allows players to invest in buildings and equipment at the battered Hakurei Shrine to reconstruct it and improve the convenience of their journey, which is also a gut-wrenching experience. In addition, the latest update (ver. 1.0.5) adds two new 99F old well dungeons that cannot be brought into the game. These dungeons are for users who have played through the second half of the storyline and have not yet identified any items, making them more challenging and rewarding.

This title has both an easy-to-play system and challenging elements, but the author's recommendation is the presence of a companion. In this title, you and Reimu can explore the dungeons with a partner character, and the partner will automatically act accordingly by setting instructions such as "accompany" or "fight back". Not only does this make the game easier to conquer, but it also makes the game more exciting by having your partner speak with voice during the exploration.

With many systems designed to make the game easy to play, "Fushigi no Genshou -FORESIGHT-" is the perfect introduction to the Mystery Dungeon series of RPGs. It is a recommended RPG not only for "Touhou Project" fans, but also for those who are not familiar with "Touhou Project".

Enjoy a thrilling love affair with a bunny girl! 2, "Bunny Garden", a strangely realistic and slightly erotic love adventure

Bunny Girl. ...... sounds very exciting and attractive, don't you think?　The "Bunny Garden" is a title in which such bunny girls are very active (?). This is a title in which such bunny girls are very active (?).

This title is a romance adventure by "qureate," the creator of "NinNinDays" and "Maid of the Dead," both of which have been featured in Akiba Soken. The company has released a number of gentleman-oriented (?) titles. The cute girl characters in the game are well-known for their cuteness.

So, let's start with the story.
The story begins with the main character, Hito Kanda, who is surrounded by despair after being fired from his job due to a serious mistake at his company. He is despondent, but then he is approached by a woman. He follows her and finds himself in a "bunny garden," a place for gentlemen to relax, where lovely ladies in bunny-girl-like costumes serve them. This encounter brought about a change in the life of the Grail .......

This title has an interesting and unusual setting: a romance adventure set in a so-called "girls' bar" style store where you can be healed by drinking alcohol while being served by girls. There are a total of three heroines who weave a story with the main character.

First is Kana, the girl who first approached the main character. She is innocent, cheerful, and kind, and her background is that she overcame her father's opposition and moved to Tokyo in order to fulfill a certain dream. She is also a cute heroine with a bit of a natural and clumsy personality.

Next is Rin. She is a free-spirited and friendly gal-type heroine who speaks to her customers as if they are her own from the start, and has a bit of a devilish side to her. In fact, contrary to her appearance, she loves anime and manga, and is the embodiment of the so-called "otaku-friendly gal," a type of gal that will probably appeal to those who are attracted to her.

The third is Miuka. She is a cool and slightly mysterious heroine who does not talk much, but she is a character who speaks out her mind and can cut the heart of the hero with her words. ...... She is a different type of heroine from Butei, and she can cut into people's hearts with her words.

The game is a romance adventure game, and the player's objective is to deepen the relationship with the girls through conversation.
Ordering drinks and snacks that the girl likes may increase your likability, and you can extend the conversation up to twice after you have finished talking with her, but ordering and extending the conversation will cost you money, so you need to be careful with your remaining balance. If you order a lot of expensive drinks without planning, you will be shocked when you pay the bill. By the way, money increases regularly, every week, but if you don't have enough left over at the time of the bill, you will be in debt, and if you don't pay back the debt even more, you will be in trouble. ......

This strangely realistic (?) system, in which "money" is involved in order to advance romance, is the most distinctive feature of this game. This strangely realistic (?) system, in which "money" is involved in order to advance in love, is the greatest feature of this work and makes it uniquely interesting.

In conversations with girls, you will be tested to see if you can remember what you have said before. You answer questions by combining the keywords displayed. If you casually skim over a question thinking that it is just a casual conversation, you may give a wrong answer when asked, so be careful. Do you remember that thing we talked about before?" "Oh, you weren't listening?" These situations are common in everyday life, and I felt that this system, which incorporates them into a love adventure, is a very realistic and interesting experiment.

When you get to know a girl well, you can get close to her physically and mentally when she gets drunk, or she may ask you out on an after-date after the restaurant is over. There is no sensitivity parameter or numerical value system in this title, and players can intuitively feel the sensation of getting closer to the heroine through these elements. This is another realistic and interesting point unique to this title.

Since this is a title created by "create," a company that has released many gentlemanly titles in the past, the presence of gentlemanly elements is of course a concern. Of course, there are various elements in this title as well. One of them is the fun with the heroine. You can sometimes play mini-games in the store with girls you have become friends with, such as a cheki photo shoot in which you ask the girl to pose for a photo, or a balance game in which the girl moves her arms and legs according to the instructions of the roulette. All of the mini-games are full of a very gentlemanly atmosphere, which I won't go into detail about, and are sure to make you nervous. Of course, playing games costs money, so watch your wallet.

The biggest shock and perhaps the best part of the game is the PTA system, named "PTA = pants, lots of pants, thank you," which comes into effect when you order a drink from a girl. What a surprise! When the girl takes the ordered drink, accidentally (!) her underwear becomes visible. You can see her underwear. The PTA system is also packed with various features, such as the ability to move and zoom the camera, the fact that if you give her underwear or stockings, she will be wearing them, and the fact that if you order a higher alcohol level, you can see her underwear even more clearly from the position. ...... is a tremendous system.

Bunny Garden" is a highly original title that is set in a place where people enjoy drinking and is filled with realistic games and slightly erotic elements. Although the impact of the system and its appearance tends to precede the game, the variety of conversations and events with the girls is very rich and carefully crafted, and the high level of perfection as a romance game is a major attraction. If you are interested in this game, please try to enter the Bunny Garden. Be careful not to get too hooked!

As the name suggests, this is a first-person 3D game set in a "swimming pool. However, it is not just any pool, but a quiet, uninhabited indoor pool with no one but the player.

Walking around without knowing what to expect, they discover that they are in a vast indoor pool surrounded by railings, stairs, and corridors that are connected to each other like a maze. Some of them are so dimly lit that one cannot see the end of them, and some are so narrow that one feels as if one is suffocating, creating an eerie and uniquely tense atmosphere. In addition, there are a number of unique locations, such as a water slide and a huge hole, that are unintentionally captivating.

Although this is a horror game, there are no jumpscares, monsters or creatures that attack the player, or any other obvious horror elements. What is scary about this horror game, then, is the "eerie atmosphere that lingers in the air" and the "space where something seems to come out. This is the biggest feature of this game. The fun of this game is to fully enjoy the unrealistic experience of walking through an endless indoor swimming pool space that is so eerie that it is easy to get lost!

Furthermore, there are no status elements such as stamina or stamina, no time limit, no storyline, no tutorial, and no explanatory text about the controls or systems. There is no background music, and the only sounds are your breathing, footsteps, the sound of water, fluorescent lights, and the occasional mysterious voice (!). The only sounds are your breathing, your footsteps, the sound of water and fluorescent lights, and the occasional mysterious voice. The main point of this game is that it is a game of "walking around in a spooky place," with all the unnecessary elements stripped away as much as possible. Combined with the realistic and beautiful graphics, you can enjoy a highly immersive experience as if you are really exploring this mysterious pool.
