Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly Review Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is the follow-up to the surprise indie hit from 2020, Coffee Talk. It is as the title says, and players will be treated to a “talking simulator” that serves up some laid-back vibes while offering a cuppa Joe to bond over. Coffee and talking are both inherently cohesive themes that work really well together, making this game pretty much the perfect brew. It has to be said that Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly, or Coffee Talk Episode 2 as we’ll refer to it throughout this review, requires a lot of reading. It’s essentially a visual novel, and if you’re uncomfortable with that, this game probably won’t change your mind. Instead, if you’re hankering for something that’s extremely chill and relatable, Coffee Talk Episode 2 could be up your alley. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niilDMQXAoc Can I Take…

A Space for the Unbound Review A Space for the Unbound is an upcoming adventure/visual novel game from Mojiken Studio and Toge Productions, the publishing studio responsible for games such as Coffee Talk and Rising Hell. It was originally scheduled to release in 2022, but a series of unfortunate events pushed it back indefinitely until its eventual January 2023 release date (today!). The game is described as a “slice-of-life adventure game set in the late 90s rural Indonesia that tells a coming-of-age story of two high school sweethearts, about the relationship between a boy and a girl with supernatural powers, graduating high school, and overcoming the end of the world.” Seeing slice-of-life and supernatural powers side by side might seem like extremely opposing ideas, but they provide quite an interesting premise for a heartwarming tale of self-discovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IiA4eoJMnY A Space to Discover First off, let’s get everything that’s not story-related…

Mojiken Studio and Toge Productions have released a statement regarding the delay of their upcoming slice-of-life adventure game A Space for the Unbound, saying that it will be delayed until further notice. Both parties have detailed the events leading to this announcement, claiming that PQube Games, the console publisher for the game, “used our position and heritage as developers from Indonesia to obtain a diversity fund from a well-known console platform,” during the height of the pandemic back in 2020. Further information states that PQube intentionally withheld the information from the developers and instead of providing them with the funds, they instead used it for a different purpose, which Mojiken and Toge claim to have found out back in March 2022. “Rather than paying the grant money to us, PQube Games hid the facts about the grant’s award and added it as a recoupable minimum guarantee and then used it…
