Let’s Play the My Wife is a Spy?! Demo

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my playthrough of the My Wife is a Spy?! VOD to my Youtube channel! This video is from one of my gaming streams!

Life wasn’t easy with emotionally manipulative parents parents but Ava worked hard through school to get her dream job of a Business Analyst! She’s ready to work hard and get out of the abusive house! That plan is cut short as she finds herself in a deadly accident and transported to the world of a webcomic she has been reading! Now she’s in the body of Sofia, a noblewoman of the South who is betrothed to the cold Duke of the North, Zachary. If that wasn’t enough of a change, she is charge with the mission of spying on her new husband for her father and the Empire! She must choose to stay loyal to her father or support her new husband.

In this demo, the otome game establishes the harsh situations that the main character finds herself in with her verbally abusive families both in her former life and her new life as Sofia. We also get the chance to meet the handsome Zachary and a few of the other kind, cautious, and skeptical cast of the North. I am intrigued by this premise and want to learn more about the budding relationship of Sofia and Zachary. If you are interested, I recommend wishlisting the game to keep up with the updates!

Let’s Play In Stars and Time Together Part 5!

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my next In Stars and Time VOD to my Youtube channel! Last time, we defeated the King but found ourselves looped back to the beginning again! What do we need to do to defeat her for good and break our curse? We must continue to find clues and talk with Loop to figure this out!

This time-whimey RPG has really captured my attention and heart. I fell in love with Siffrin, Isabeau, Mirabelle, Odile, and Bonnie quickly. I love time loop games and RPGs plus the story is fascinating and full of feelings. There are some heavy themes and flashing lights in this game so consider that if you pick up the game for yourself. The game is available on Steam and the Nintendo eShop so you can check it out for yourself!

Let’s Play the Day After Day Demo

Hello, Cozy Gang!

I edited and uploaded my playthrough of the Day After Day Demo VOD to my Youtube channel! This video is from one of my gaming streams!

Waking up groggy and in pain after being saved from a shipwreck, Vera is coinless and confused by why she is in the ocean front city of Vadena. The player must help her charm or threaten the townsfolk to help her recollect herself and figure out why she is cursed in a time loop of the same day. There are also two love interests that she can choose to romance or betray in this narrative rpg.

In this demo, the otome game introduces us to the city of Vadena and to some of the colorful and charming residents. We got a little glimpse of how our stats and decisions affected the narrative as we enjoyed some good conversations. If you are interested, I highly recommend checking out the demo and the kickstarter for yourself! They are looking to add voice acting and expand the scope of the game.
