Re-coloring the grey spaces: A "Lilac and Her Light" Game Review

Howdy folks! How is it all going? Hopefully good. So I recently managed to set aside some time to complete a game (as if I never have time for it XD), and write a review of it. This time, its going to be a brief review of a game I finished in less than an hour. This is a review of Lilac and Her Light!


Lilac and Her Light is a game developed by Npckc and was released back in October 2018. Its a story based pixelated game(one of my favorite types!) or you can say that its an RPG/Role playing games. You can download it through the Play Store or the developer's website (I'll drop the link below later). The game is pretty small, only around 16 Mb, meaning its practically accessible with phones nowadays. 

The Story

At the start, we will find ourselves playing as a girl, named Lilac, who lives in an extraordinary grey house, in which every house hold items and Lilac herself are also grey. We soon learn that she has an odd condition where everything that made contact with her would lose its color and turn grey. Hence, she isolated herself and spends every day just laying and killing time in her house. But it all changed, after an unexpected guess suddenly arrives.  A witch named Chime comes during the witching hour and offers Lilac her assistance to end her isolation. From there, we will embark on a quick adventure of gathering materials, traveling the town, and sightseeing. 

Gameplay

The gameplay follows a typical story based RPG games, where you will go around places gathering items and interacting with other characters. One of the things that stood out from this game to me is the length/play time, as it only took me less then 30 minutes to complete it. Aside from that, there are also some artworks that appear after certain parts of the game(which I actually find neat). As for the theme, I found it fine as it goes well with the game, regardless of what stage or moment you're in, pretty versatile I would say. Oh, another I would add is to fiddle with your device's brightness as it would help you go through the game XD.

Overall Thought

In spite of the brief experience it offered, I still enjoy it nonetheless. The story is what actually entice me to finish it in one go, that and the theme(oh, don't forget my epiphany towards this kind of games!). In fact, I do believe that its better off this way, for the story to be placed within this narrow timeframe rather than overextending it. Sure, it is not IB nor it is not Alice's Spiritual Judge but that's exactly what set this game apart. So all in all, I give this game an 8.5/10. I can't wait to see and play more games from Npckc, looking forward to seeing more games from you! As for you fellow readers, you can go check the Play Store for it or if you're interested, you can go to their website and see their latest project!

So there goes of what I have now. I'll see you around later and until then, take care, folks! Thanks for stopping by!

New Hobby : The Art of Toy Photography

Most people still think that the only thing toy collectors do to their toys is simply as an ornament. A piece that only acts merely for display purposes, but the current stigma is actually wrong! Truth is there are tons of stuff you can do with your toys, the one I'm putting on the menu now is an art called Toy Photography. Toy photography is just another form of photography, but it specifies in using toys as the subject. It can be done both indoor and outdoor, even underwater as long as you have the right equipment. It also uses the same equipment as the usual photography with an exception of the toy's support utilities (Figure stands, dioramas, extra lighting, etc). To me, it's a perfect activity for toy collectors including me as a way to put your toys in action! From many professional toy photographers I know, there are 3 main points of toy photography, they are: 1. Bringing the toys to life Most of the toy shots I've seen are so good they manage to chan...

Another dream to travel! Lucid Dream Chapter 2

Finally, it's December! Which means two things, Chrismast and tons of free time (I hope). So while I'm here I brought another review, a continuation of the previous game I talked about. It's Lucid Dream 2. I paid around 8.000 Rupiah for it, equivalent to 0.70$, and for that price, it's one of the best purchases I made this year! Without further ado let's get into it!  So in the last game, the Oneicromancer paid a visit to Lucy. He told her about these "Gods" that have the power to save her mom. After this, the game begins and you will meet Metron, a sentient being who guards the place. There Lucy asks him for help, Metron accepts it by one condition, for  Lucy to do him a favor. Basically, Lucy is asked to set free a lost soul who had been stuck there, unable to move. You'll face many puzzles, at some point, you will meet a flying elephant (I forgot the name tho) who will ask you for help. Later on, he will give Lucy a potion or some sort of...
