It's a matter of opinion, some people prefer this, some prefer the other. For me, they're both my babies, so...
Both of your babies are well above the average AVN.It's a matter of opinion, some people prefer this, some prefer the other. For me, they're both my babies, so...
That said, one of your babies is superior to the other

Both games are excellent and so different from each other that I don't see the point in comparing them.

you will always be love, both of your games are great! but there's a reason i choose BM, iykyk.
Not really any point granted, but, comparing two games made by the same person, especially when being radically different is a natural thing to do
Especially when most of us may have very little else to talk about on a game forum
At least, it's a civil discussion.

It's really hard to compare. They are completely different in theme and tone. It's like asking which is better, Futurama or Breaking Bad.
Sometimes you are in the mood to have your guts ripped out, and other times you just want to chuckle for a while.
Futurama (aka WSIGTH) [edit] any day, every day, I've [/edit] never ever had the slightest interest in ever even watching any part of Breaking Bad (aka BM). Plot line didn't have any interest.
[pre-post-edit: redacted political points about BB as irrelevant... at least BM doesn't have such a strongly negative reaction.]

Well, Breaking Bad certainly isn't for everybody.

Not everyone likes that, but for some, it is meaningful or at least sticks in your mind. With infinite entertainment options, most totally unmemorable fluff, I am drawn to things that I will actually remember, even years later. How many shows, movies, or books, can one honestly say is memorable these days? Certainly less than 0.1%. Almost every TV show or movie I watch these days made in the last 5 years, I can barely remember a week later.
Most television and movies are either low effort content like fake reality shows or comic book movies with absolutely no stakes for any character, with 90% of the movie digital with no acting whatsoever (there is a reason these comics are written for 12 year olds). It's like watching someone play a video game on YouTube. Or other movies and shows that are supposedly dramatic or funny, that are written to be so safe and inoffensive to appeal to every possible audience member that is it like eating wet toast. Even the supposedly gritty shows nowadays like Euphoria, Ozark, or The Idol are just pale imitations. Like a copy of a copy, 5 times over. You have to go back to decades old TV like Oz, The Wire, or The Shield to find anything that actually takes risks and is willing to upset and shock their audience, and leave them with some greater meaning afterward.
But, my point really wasn't about whether either of these shows were good. It is that both are well regarded for totally different and incompatible reasons. Weird Shit is basically like a strange dream, where anything and everything can happen, without much real regard to realism. Sort of like Futurama, which is why I mentioned it.
Bad Memories, rather than the large and expanding cast of Weird Shit, is focused on just a couple of key characters, with slowly revealed pain in their past, including the MC, whose memory is slowly coming back to him. It is basically a tragic character study. At least how I see it so far. Similar, in a way, to Breaking Bad. But with more explicit sex. But each character (except Hanna), is broken in a lesser or greater way.

Pretty sure there is something Hanna is hiding too. We just don't know what it is yet.
This was prob why I skipped recreation's other game, I've been suffering darn near undiagnosed ptsd symptoms for a decade because of pain in my past, so don't wanna relive it in a vn.
But, as always (prob should put this as a footer) to each their own. Not now, nor ever, speaking for everyone, just me and my totally screwed up view of the world.
btw, thanks for the synopsis on that show... the previews always (and this fits these 2 VNs as well) looked so much better visually, stylistically, etc. than most of the other stuff. (but that's prob also why I've been watching stuff from the 30s thru 80s lately)

I get it. For some reason I find dark disturbing stories cathartic. It distracts me from my own issues.
Weird Shit keeps it light. Have you tried:

Nope, but used to think that M-S (Maou-Sama) and Weird Shit would've made for a good cross-over story. But they're both secondary games, created by devs to have fun when needing a break from their stated primary focus... maybe I just don't like what's popular. Anway... thanks for the sugggestions. Back to patiently waiting. As a programmer, I know rewrites due to changes in the language can be a royal pain in the back side, and that's for someone with a couple decades just doing that, so someone who's not... just has my awe and sympathy.

No please! No beta upload!
Someone did it a couple of months for recreation other game Bad Memories, and it was really a mess.
Beta version may have bugs, placeholders, etc.
But people download it and expect to have a finish product anyway.
And then, they satrt to complain that the game is full of bugs.

Good points. I generally avoid Alpha or Beta versions as that always means they haven't been tested for bugs. I wait for the tested, public release. There's plenty to play while I wait.
