What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

I'll Kill Her (Switch)

March 10th, 2024

Daylight savings time is massively unpleasant, especially while I'm already having trouble with sleepiness. Taking a walk this morning helped me wake up a little, though, so I'm here and posting now.

Yesterday, I played another one of the small visual novels I've gathered on Switch, I'll Kill Her. I don't say that it was just a comic book with any snark intended- that's what it was. There were no choices or game play, but the art was really stylish, with lots of big screentones and bold colors, and it's interesting to think about what a non-standard format like this adds to or takes away from a story. It did have some unsubtle censored nudity, and I'm not sure if there's words they forgot to translate, or if they kept in some non-English words for the vibes. Also, as dark as this story was, the inclusion of a dress-up game from the main menu, which I always welcome, seemed strange. I kind of liked this game, though. It was an interesting impulse buy.

By the time I got to Pokemon Shining Pearl, I was dead tired, so I kind of wandered between Jubilife and Oreburgh for a while until I triggered an event by stumbling towards the right spot. From there, I just went to bed.
