I am so excited to add a new game to the Gaming After Dark series! Y’all are in for a treat! I was over the moon (pun not intended) when I was asked to review the demo for Celestial Crowns in time for its kickstarter release. After taking a look at the overall premise and how inclusive the demo is, I had to play it and give it a fair review for the blog!

Set in a world where they worship the stars, play as the newly crowned Ruling Monarch of the kingdom of Lauté. In ancient times, the Royals were masters of the elements with the ability to spellcraft that made people believe they were gods. Nowadays, the ability has faded with misuse, and the only Royal left known to have this ability is King Aalam of Andromeda. With your kingdom on unsteady ground after your father's recent assassination, this dangerous King with magic beyond comprehension has an offer you can’t ignore:

Accept his hand in marriage, or go to war.

Sorry the screenshots are poop quality. BUT ANYWAY.

I created the Blooming Panic LIs in The Sims 4 and also ended up creating their bedrooms too. Took me about 2 days to get everything done, but I’m pretty pleased with how it all turned out! The 4 bedrooms are a part of a fully functional apartment with kitchen, living room, game room, and laundry plus 2 shared bathrooms and one half bath. There’s also a giant cat tree in the living area for Cat. (Peep Cat in Xyx’s room hehe.) Also, I feel like NakedToaster and nightowl would be messy so I made sure their rooms reflected that.

February 23, 2022 No Comments

Y’all will have to forgive me on this one. I had every intention of adding a Gaming After Dark post for this month, but I cannot get Blooming Panic off of my mind. I got all four of the “good endings” in less than 24 hours. I am hooked and head-over-heels for the amazing love interests in the form of Discord boyfriends. I knew I needed to get this review out before my heart exploded from the wholesomeness that is this indie Otome game!

This year I decided I would dip my toes into more Otome games, on the search for more spicy games to add to Gaming After Dark. While I love a bit of spice, I also love a bit of sweet. And that’s exactly what I got with today’s game review. Code: Realize ~Guardian of Rebirth~ was my gateway game into the world of Otome, and I don’t think I could have picked a better first game! If you’re interested in seeing what Otome games are coming up for reviews, take a look at my post about the 5 Otome games in my backlog!

Meg says: "A gritty and sexy thriller? Sign me up! There's nothing like your life being in danger to put you in a romantic mood. I am (mostly) kidding, but coming fresh off the trail of Code: Realize where the heroine is in a similar situation, I'm ready to see how it plays out (and who saves me)."
