Zadarmenko no nekúp to (Amber just let me love you)
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAAAAAA
A nice little short visual novel featuring a virus that transforms people into horrifying creatures. I wouldn't have minded it being a bit longer, but I did well enjoy what I got and the creature designs were very creepy indeed.

If it had romance it would be a 10/10
Decent game, was pretty spine chilling when it wanted to be. Way too short though. It feels more like a portion of a full game, almost like a demo. 6/10
A little short, but a good story. The plot does not delve deeper into whole monster-virus thing than I wish it would, nevertheless pretty enjoyable. Some of the endings bring a good emotional punch. Definitely recommend to try this.

Epimutation is a free short horror game about a group of seven trapped inside a bunker in a forest. The world has ended and monsters now occupy our countries. For the protagonists, they must find a way to continue survival while they discover the truth behind the monsters and how to identify the infected. This game is short, topping about 1 hour of playtime. There are multiple sequences of talking to your bunkmates and sending them out two at a time to scavenge. There's a decent mystery behind the game and the human moments of the game come in talking to the characters. As for queer representation, the protagonist is nonbinary and there are two lesbian characters who are in a relationship with each other. I found it interesting and meaningful. I liked the characters and the art style and felt anxiety at a lot of key moments. Much save scumming was completed. I do recommend this game; the art and CGs are great and it's a good experience.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this game, including the story, the animation, the artwork. Enjoyed talking to the characters and getting the achievements which shows the different endings which were really amazing! Very cozy and spooky!
GREAT SHORT SCARY GAME
