40 - A Bird Story + Finding Paradise
A big improvement over To the Moon in pretty much every way. While these games are clearly on a budget (RPG maker and all), I really like how expressive the spritework is across all three games. This one's my favorite of the bunch.
15 - Buried Stars
Probably my biggest surprise of the year! 5 show contestants are buried after an accident, and the drama ensues. Studio LARGO's first big project(?) has a lot of interesting ideas for a VN that don't all hit the mark, but do provide something new to the genre.
