Working on a Terrific Masterpiece! A Death Palette Game Review

Howdy, folks! It's me again, the author of this lonely blog. these past weeks have been filled with semester breaks, something that I truly enjoy after all the hustle in the 2nd semester. In that break, I have played many games, some of which I'll review and bring here. Now, let's get into one of them, the menu for today will be a review of Death Palette. Enjoy!

Death Palette is a puzzle & story based game with horror elements to it. The game was developed by Sleeping museum, an indie developer based in Japan, and was made available in google Play Store in February 2020. The game has been around for some time but it was only starting to get attention after its latest update, one that brought an English translation to it. Hence, allowing more people to experience the game. The game weighs around 50 MB, quite light in my opinion. With its introduction out of the way, let's dive into its parts!

The Story

The game tells a story of a beginner painter, who was given an unfinished painting. This painting/portrait of a girl apparently was no ordinary painting as its famous among painters for taking its painter's life if she's not pleased with their work. Upon receiving the painting, the painter was transported to another realm, a dark space with a few doors and in the middle of it, lies the portrait of the girl. There, the girl will demand the painter to complete her portrait and do it according to her desire within 6/7 days, if not he will soon join the previous painters who failed. From this point on, the painter will embark on a quest to complete the girl's portrait and learn the story behind her curse.

The Gameplay

The mechanics offered by this game is truly creative! I really like the ways the riddles/puzzles are offered, not to mention how picky the girl can be XD. For example, in choosing the color from the rolling palette and some point & click aspects of it.  It took me a few days to finish it but summing them up, I think it would amount to less than 2 hours of gameplay. The game only has one true ending, but there are many dead ends, like so many, that you can collect them all to earn an extra part of the game that tells what happens next. For other aspects of the game, both the visuals and music are good! The music really adds up to the suspense in some parts and in lightening up the mood. I really like the visuals/art style the game used, it's simple but I like it! I have encountered zero bugs during my gameplay so that's another plus. 

Overall Thought

Playing the game was one of the best experience I've had compared to other gameplay I've completed in this break. The storytelling was excellent, I really like how we are given pieces of the plot as the game progresses and how I come to understand it. It got me excited, especially how fun and new the idea it has, and pushed me to look for Sleeping Museum's other games. Overall, I would give the game a 9 out of 10. So good job for you, Sleeping Museum! I'll be waiting for your next work.

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).

We soon learn that she has an odd condition where everything that made contact with her would los...

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...

Giving company on a long lonely trip! A Terasene-Girl X Sun Game Review

Girl X Sun-Terasene is another developed by the Sleeping Museum, the maker of the Death Palette game. The game is developed with Unity engine and is available to play in mobile through google play store. The games was released back in May 2018, but it has earned more attention recently following another update that translated the game in English, somewhat the same case with Death Palette. The game has been downloaded for over 50.000 times and it weighs around 30 MB, so its indeed a light game for your device. The game can be considered as one of the story based adventure/single player platformer (?) game, although its not that kind of hard/more common action.  The Story It started off with a girl who is taking a walk at night away from a huge castle. What makes it unique is that the girl is carrying an umbrella. We are then told of her condition, that she can't make contact with sunlight as it may harm her, hence the umbrella. But why is she taking an umbrella at night? It's be...
