1. Kudos
"Kudos" is a turn-based life simulation game, where you control one character during their 20s. You can pick and advance in your career, earn points as you climb up on the social ladder and try new things. You can make friends and start romantic relationship. It's very addictive as it's very open-ended and also challenging because you have to balance friendship, job, and classes. When your attributes are not enough, some new people you know are snobs and will turn you down, and they have different effect on you. My most memorable character trains to be a doctor then has a midlife crisis and wants to change her career to be a guitarist. (Very hard, I tell you.)
2. Cute Knight
In Cute Knight, you plays an orphan girl who develops herself through working, going to classes, meeting people and adventuring. There're a lot of endings and I love the simple game play, though the art can be better. I remember the time I tried all the endings.
3. Academagia
In the game you plays a new student of a magic school and you spends your learning skills, making friends and having adventure. This simple sentence is really not enough to convey the massive world building, the load and load of colourful NPC and the variety of paths you can go. It's very challenging to a casual gamer like me because I spent the first two time being expelled from school.
4. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale
In Recettear, you plays the often overlooked character in a RPG game, a shop owner. Facing the heavy debt, Recettear has to run her shop with the help of the loan shark fairy. I love all the characters, the shop management and the only thing that's a bit too challenging for me is to go real time adventuring in maze.
5. Prince Maker 3
It's a free computer game made in China and what a game! In this game, you play the guardian of a candidate to the king of three races and there're secrets behind the candidate and even the character you control. The plot is amazing, the characters are all attractive and really I like everything about it. My only regret is: why aren't there more fanfic about the game?
