4 Days Left: Massive PLAYISM Doujin Bundle!

May 16 - daicon | 2 Comments

Sorry for the late notice, but there's still 4 days left on the Playism Publisher Bundle 2026 over at Humble Bundle!

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/playism-publisher-bundle-2026

$13 for these 19 items

Bright Memory: Infinite
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game
The Star Named EOS
Mind Diver
The Good Life
Drago Noka
Bright Memory
The Exit 8
Platform 8
Astebreed: Definitive Edition
Samurai Bringer
Giraffe and Annika
The Sealed Ampoule
Urban Legend Hunters 2: Double
Fight Crab
LiEat
Croixleur Sigma - Deluxe Edition
Break Arts II
Strange Telephone

Do I think its worth it? YES. For $13 I think this is a great grab for any fans of doujin games. There's plenty of non-doujin titles but even they look really nice too. There's some interesting picks like SWERY's The Good Life and LiEat, a short story with some of the sharpest sprites in an RPGMaker game. Thats just scratching the surface so I hope you pick it up. Keep in mind that you have to redeem these steam codes before May 20th, 2027.

As a reminder, you can fund these doujin makers instead of letting any of your ever-so-stretched budget go to the likes of IGN. Under the "Checkout" button, select "Adjust Donation" and then "Custom Amount"!

There's also 3 days left on Fanatical's Bento Bundle[www.fanatical.com], not nearly as hot a value, but with plenty of gems. I still need to grab it for Shirone: the Dragon Girl myself.

Well, hope this has helped you stretch your doujin gaming bucks a little further. That and getting us all playing a wider variety of good games. If you save even a buck off some games you wanted reading this.. then that makes my day.

I'm in the middle of moving, and hopefully after that I'll be around much more to talk/play games. Hope to hear from you.

1 Day Left: Sekai Project 2026 Humble Bundle

April 23 - daicon | 2 Comments

Hey everyone. Are we all enjoying Spring? As things have been falling through the cracks abit here, I didn't want to miss posting a last minute notice so maybe some of you won't miss an amazing bundle deal on some of Sekai Project's published visual novels. If you don't know, Sekai Project is one of the earlier publishers of visual novels on Steam, back when the platform was more closed off and VNs were a niche oddity among most of Steam (and Western gaming)'s ecosystem. But enough said, check it out below:

https://www.humblebundle.com/games/sekai-project-2026

Offering 20 different titles for $15, is it worth getting? I'd say absolutely you don't want to pass this up unless you simply don't like VNs. These are more mature titles, and they do lean heavily into bishoujo territory.

Reminder: If you really like what Sekai Project does, and want to help the game authors they publish, you can allocate more of your order to go to them by tweaking the sliders. Click "Adjust Donations" under the Checkout button and you can decide how much charity, Sekai or IGN gets of your $15 bucks.

If you're looking for more bundles featuring good Japanese games, Fanatical is running another of their "Build Your Own Bento" bundle:

https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/build-your-own-bento-bundle

Including games like Shirone: the Dragon Girl, Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom, and Lost Ruins, its definitely worth a gander. Obviously, I'm picking up both bundles.

If you get the Sekai 2026 bundle, do note that unused keys DO expire. Use them by April 17th, 2027. This is a part of various anti-customer trends Humble has been engaging in, unfortunately. Spares you already have make good gifts atleast, but we can't comfortably sit on our spares anymore from Humble.

(Note that Fanatical and other bundle sites don't do this!)

Hope you've been swell otherwise. For me, reading a good VN just makes me want to start up another one soon after. And a good VN sounds about perfect right now. Let me know what you've read too. I'll be eager to check it out.
