What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling(Switch)

March 9th, 2024

I feel really dizzy today, and am in the depths of a manga binge. I started this morning with Goodbye, Eri, though, and really thought it was interesting. Maybe I kicked off the day on too high a note.

In the middle of reading a lot of manga last night, I decided to play one of the short visual novels I had stashed on my Switch and mix up the format a little. I went with the newest one I'd picked up, Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling. It was very short, with a very clear good-ending vs bad-ending trigger, and that was fine. The "explore mode" that unlocks after the main story, to act as an epilogue and explain everything, was a neat feature, but I maybe liked the mysterious feeling better before having the main character flat out explain the game's events. That was okay, though, and I understand why it was included. Navigating the house was also a little weird for me, but that might just be because I have no sense of direction, real or virtual.

Later on, I went in and beat the first gym leader in Pokemon Shining Pearl. I'm playing through very casually, but my victory was so close that I think I should have levelled up at least a little before fighting Roark! I'll keep this in mind for the next gym.
