Ever dreamed about having furry beast men hanging around with you? What if they are gods in your childhood bedtime stories? This visual novel gives you a chance to play a young man whose dream has come true, but also gets him deeply involved in the consequences.

Although he was born within a religious family, college student Lin Tian-Liao has never thought about meeting three feline spirits.

It's never bad to have three lovely guys around, but life must be going on. Knowing his humdrum life has gone forever, Liao still don't know what his future holds. However, his story with three big cats has already began.

With his third eye accidentally opened, Liao can now see spirits that used to be invisible to him. However, their requests force Liao to decide for his future life. Lin Hu, the tiger patron god of Lin family wants Liao to go back home after his graduation. Likulau, a clouded leopard spirit from an Aboriginal Taiwanese tribe finds Liao is a good candidate for the tribe oracle. And Yan Shu-Chi, who is a colleague of Liao but now being possessed by a leopard cat spirit, is trying to get help from Liao to rejuvenate a countryside temple. Before Liao could understand what’s going on, his brand new daily life is already on the track.

Surprisingly, these gods appear from nowhere are not fuddy-daddy as Liao thought, letting him rethink the positive side of folk belief in the modern society. However, his course schedule doesn’t allow him to thoroughly interpret the traditional culture, and now it’s time for you to help him getting his decision.

Game developer Dharker Studio revealed in a Steam forum post last Saturday that it received notification from Valve that the company no longer allows links to uncensor patches for games posted on Steam. These patches restore adult content that has been censored in the game in order for the game to comply with Steam's content rules.

Who are they foolin'? People will just make a subtle guide to link it and people will find it through that instead of the forums. If the company themselves are pointing folks to it, Valve only have themselves to blame for allowing them on the store "censored" in the first place.

They won't even find a subtle place to link it. I guarantee it'll be on both the forums and in the guides section, cuz Steam evidently has zero moderation outside of devs themselves.

Exactly. Valve only have themselves to blame for allowing "censored" porn games on the store in the first place.

Apparently, Steam isn't even going to ban regular people from linking to the patches, it's just that the developers themselves can't link to them.

I continue to fuck around with the steam controller, trying to use it to play through wolfenstein II.

It’s serviceable but I feel like I’m trying to learn how to use a Dvorak keyboard. Like I recognize it’s probably better once you get fully used to it, I’m not sure it’s better enough to be worth the effort of abandoning something you already know how to use well.

That said, I think steam should make a version with a dpad, two sticks, and 6 face buttons. It would be very popular.

The best/worst part of it is definitely the gyro. I can see how this can make you a lot better once you get used to it, but I have 20 years of muscle memory that tells me that shifting my arms around doesn’t matter when playing video games and it’s like yet one more th No to concentrate on.

Yeah, that's where I am with it. It's answering a problem that didn't have a question. Some folks will like it, but I'm burned hard on it because it requires MASSIVE time investment for something that I just want to work with controller-less-support'd titles (those that came out before Xinput).

[Trent Dole]

Wow only $20?

[Coax]

I've only played like 20 minutes of Okami at a friend's place on the Wii. Before playing had expected I'd enjoy it since I liked the art style but I didn't find the gameplay interesting. Does it get better?

If you didn't enjoy the first hour you're probably not gonna enjoy the other 44

[Positive Touch]

yeah it's a text heavy action adventure with pretty easy puzzles and combat. doesn't switch up the formula throughout either.

Prey at $20 is kinda tempting, but haven't got to Arkane's Dishonored 2 yet even.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided for $8-9 is great, but still haven't got to Human Revolution.
Shadow Tactics $20 is pretty good range,

Most of the 2017 new release games are only like 10-30% off.
Very few games on my wishlist under $10

Hmmm, might not get anything this sale.

I know some people were wanting that.

[Raist]

"They are billions" release (as EA) today. Before that it was only available for backers.

Seems pretty cool, basically a Builder/RTS/Tower Defense mix, with a Steampunk backdrop.

Bought. PC only tho, so I'll give it a spin whenever I can be arsed booting on Win10

[Raist]

So, finally tried They Are Billions.

Got my ass kicked in 5mins on the first try

It's pretty neat. Learning curve is pretty steep and there is a fairly substantial rng factor, but I can easily see myself spending quite a few hours on the game.
It's only "Survival mode" for now, but they'll add a campaign later.

Pricing is decent (£20 so I assume $20 for you muhricans) and there is 10% off for now as it just launched. If you like the genre (although it's a bit of a blend between RTS/Tower Defense /Sim genres), I definitely recommend.

Ah, too bad they didn't do an updated version of Maniac Mansion like they did with Day of the Tentacle, but still a cool little surprise either way.

[benjipwns]

Reviews are saying this is a SCUMMVM with some wonky sound emulation apparently, guess you're just better off using the version in Day of the Tentacle Remastered if you've got that.

Or, you know, using a good SCUMM emulator?

[kingv]

Couldn’t you just run it in dosbox?

[Great Rumbler]

Couldn’t you just run it in dosbox?

Why would you want to?

[kingv]

If it’s a bad port.

[kingv]

Also, I just don’t understand the point of a scumm emulator specifically. I guess maybe tonplay the games ok platforms they weren’t ever ported to?

Xmas sale is habbeding. Some really good deals, some stuff on for what it always is, and some stuff that I know has gone for cheaper than what they're asking right now. Is there a site that keeps track of what the lowest price has ever been for games sold digitally so I don't have to rely on my slowly decaying brain for this sort of thing?

Always dreamed of creating your own musical group and making your way to the stars? Now your desires can become a reality! In our game you can go all the way from rehearsals in the garages to appearances on the stages where world-famous performers have visited.
You will have the opportunity to record songs on different topics, give the name of each of them, release albums. Manage the activities of your newly-born musicians completely and completely!
You have four most popular genres in the music world: rock, electronic music, pop, r'n'b. Your musicians can play in all directions, so do not have to make a hard choice at the beginning of the game - improve in all these genres!
There are three levels of difficulty to choose from, but if the game seems to be hard for you, you can change your difficulty level at any time.
With the promotion of the group you will be assisted by several managers, each of them has a huge number of ideas on how to do it. You will have to face a lot of difficult moral choices, which is more important for you: money, popularity through black PR, or the love of people? Or do you just want to carry your creativity into the masses and make people happy? Managers will give you a huge amount of bonuses if you make the right choice and listen to your heart and head. You will have to act smartly and judiciously, because some elections can damage your reputation on the contrary.
You will be available hundreds of different musical instruments, as well as many cool things that you can give to your musicians, and each of these items will give a certain bonus!
Win many musical awards on the way to the top! Compete for a place in the top 100 with other players!
Your musicians will often comment on what is happening to them, so you definitely will not be bored!
Rather, start to conquer the whole world with the help of your music!

The game's title is deceptive. I want a game where I'm behind-the-scenes, managing a Music Awards show. You work your way through the MTV and the BET Awards onto the CMA Awards until finally you're producing the Grammies. And then Steve Harvey opens the wrong envelope and it all comes crashing down.
