What I’m playing lately (March 2024)

I’m pretty busy, but if I can squeeze some gacha games into the day, then I can squeeze proper games in as well. Here’s a few things I’ve been trying lately. Epic Seven & Love Nikki: Go without saying, but I just put them up here to proclaim my continued love. Love Nikki is the […]
