While waiting for a decoy Z. A. T. O. Readthrough uploaded and making the necessary song mutings to happen... unless copyclaim algorithms really cared, here are some 3 Games again for now, recorded yesterday

=False Dichotomy is about Aki (the weaker side) dealing with their other side of their coin, by doing a ritual that will permanently bound "Aki" (the stronger side) to their body, while also permanently erasing Aki. Currently there is one ending, but also the True End at this point. There’s a potential revisit of this game in the future.
=Fruitcake By The Fire, is a short VN that involves 2 people that had a small car accident, which someone purposely pop their tires, and both of them need to get some help. There are 3 endings.
=Ticket to Heart is a short VN about a young woman trying to reconnect to their long-lost friend while also meeting them to Mistlefir through a train ride. This has both endings.
-Both Fruitcake By The Fire and Ticket to Heart are part to a game jam called A Very Hallmark Game Jam 2025

Overall, all of these games are pretty good... tho just one in alright case. False Dichotomy, tho it was on the page already that it was inspired by CHARON in games aesthetics, they pretty much nailed it. The story is straightforward sad one. Who knows if the updates will have alternate route one day. Still good job for that one. Fruitcake By the Fire, has some interesting art style I would say, I love the pencil sketch art, and the papercut look and feel to it. Still I would say this is just an alright game, tho the oddity is certainly something I would look forward to see expanded. I guess you can say the game has some nice Fruitcake. Ticket to Heart, is probably of course, the most wholesome and adorable. Art style is very cute, and so is the straightforward story. One thing I will say, well the one reason I check this out, is a friend checked out this game as well so why not.

Overall, yeah, False Dichotomy and Ticket to Heart are my picks on this session.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! May stars guide you
