Date Everything is an impressive dating sim as it expands the number of characters you can date to 100. Each character has a unique personality, and while having 100 of them does sound like a great thing, it can become a repetitive task towards the endgame. You'll need to raise your stats (S.P.E.C.S) by completing stories with each of the objects that come to life with your Dateviator glasses.
Koira is an enchanting adventure that takes players on an emotional journey between the protagonist and their dog. Studio Tolima's hand-drawn visuals truly pull you in, while the mixture of reds, blacks and whites often makes for a dramatic picture. You can see the emotion of each character prominently through the animations, making you feel for the protagonist without a spoken word. Additionally, the musical elements with notes being uttered instead of words is a nice touch, bringing you back to the days of Ico.
