One of the best games I've ever played. It's one of these that you can't drop until you've finished it, that gives you feeling of emptiness when you are done, and you know you will never forget it... The characters are written so well, the story is well-told, it's not too hard, the graphics are nice and the music is always fitting. It has strong ties to Undertale (this is pretty obvious) and maybe to OneShot?
This is a masterpiece and you really should play it instead of reading this :)

This is truly a great 3D-modeling program...

+ A free 3D, fully-rigged, well-made base model that you can export to a VRM and use anywhere! (do check the license though)
+ A ton of outfit presets that you can switch with a click, and edit as you wish! And they keep adding more and more of them!
+ Accessories that you can import from an online store! (but it may not be free, it's much better to do this from Blender if you have the knowledge)
+ Many hair presets and a way to create your own!
+ Face, body and outfit personalization (contrary to what some people think, you can change the eye style in VRoid Studio)
+ You can make your model take predefined poses and take a picture of them! (no personalized poses though)
- You can't import your own accessory, you have to either make it with hair (scuff) or add it through Blender, but that's some work
- Some hair shapes (like ahoge) can be pretty tricky to make accurately due to the interface
- You can't import your own model to modify it (but that might be asking too much?)
- You can't import a VRM to modify it - you have to own the .vroid file (but I guess that's kind of a protection too)

I widely recommend this if you need a 3D model for any reason!

Very good community-crafted Touhou game.

+ Wonderful OST. Each track is unique, beautiful - and respects ZUN's style. I especially liked the OST of stages 5 & 6 (Stage 6's OST has always been my favorites in Touhou games).
+ Nice story. The storytelling is actually better than in Touhou games (I actually understood the plot without having to look it up in a wiki xD )
+ Great challenge that is Touhou-worthy :)
+ Gorgeous surroundings.
+ Awesome character designs.
+ Fun to play! Each character has original spellcards, and some of them are as beautiful as they are challenging!
+/- Drawings of each characters feel kinda amateur-ish, but so do official Touhou character depictions?
+/- The difficulty curve is different from an official Touhou game. The first levels feel harder, but there is no difficulty step at lvl 4, and lvl 6 feels pretty standard for a Touhou game.

So this is a great unofficial Touhou game that any Touhou fan, or even any StB game fan should play! (It might be a bit difficult for beginners though)

Can't do tuto #1, shows a black screen.
The solution with option.ini in the pinned message in the forum doesn't work. There's also a hidden solution that I looked up on the official discord server but it doesn't work either.
I did want to learn it but if you guys don't even care enough for your players to fix the 2-year-old error on Tutorial #1... This is truly hopeless.
I'll be playing Yomi instead (which isn't free but at least it works perfectly).

Been wanting to play this for a long time now, I'm so disappointed... While the story and art are awesome, it's hard to like a game about combat where the fighting system is so horrible. You have to push a number to prepare for using a skill, then use the WASD keys to use it while aiming with the mouse. So using the any skill in reaction for something is pretty impossible, as you just don't have enough time / hands to use it fast enough to exploit the accurate timing required to do it successfully...
I'm done with this, sadly.

Yomi is a card game that tries to simulate a fighting game.

+ Nice graphics, fine music (although I mute it when I play, it stresses me). It may not seem like it, but the more you play, the more attached you get to the characters :)
+ The fighting game aspect is relatively well simulated and it's one of the few games around that tries to do this.
+/- Empty matchmaking. There are discords to ask for matches though, but you may not get them instantly. Besides, there is also a running tournament on the Sirlin games forum.
+/- Suddently gets a lot of depth if you want to play seriously. You will have to read and understand your opponent's character card to know what kind of gameplay you can expect from them and adapt accordingly to prevent them from using their abilities / cards correctly.
- Not entirely faithful to a fighting game. I mostly blame the lack of punishment on dragon punches or attacks with a low startup, as well as block-punishing not being a thing... (heard the next version of Yomi corrects that)

I personally enjoy the game a lot playing it casually against the bot. You'll be warned though - the game has a lot of depth if you're going against other players so get ready for lotsa hand-guessing (and some mindgames).

Very beautiful walking simulator, but extremely boring. Nothing happens, the "story" makes no sense at all. Only positive point, it's very beautiful so play this if you're missing going to forests during confinement xD It was a total waste of time for me, I can't recommend this free, and even less if I have to pay for it...

Pretty complicated 3D modeling software (and it does a lot of other stuff too!) but very powerful, and there are a lot of ressources online. On top of that it's free :)

A nice little point-and-click hand-drawn adventure game.

+ Super pretty art! Awesome animations and it is so colorful!
+ Great dubbing :) (also I love the british accent everywhere ;) )
+ The orchestral OST is really gorgeous and does a great job at putting us in the right atmosphere.
+ Characters are very well written and are greatly animated. They all feel so lively!
+ The scenario is pretty alright.
+ Nice touch of humor :)
- The storytelling is a little annoying at times... The game sometimes drops you at a place with no indication on what to do there...
- Sadly too short :(

So yeah, I definitely recommend it if you don't mind it being a bit short.

This is not a game, simply a musical colored artbook. It's super pretty, and the music is relaxing, so yeah, it's like a small peaceful museum :)

Just play this, it'll make you more relaxed and draw a smile on your face ^_^ (and it's 100% free)
