So, after checking some things out, this month seems to be fairly nice.

Apeiria has the "strong AI" theme, aka what if an AI gets to have a conscience? Kinda. And unlike Trinoline, it doesn't self-destruct its setting in the first minutes (or even hours) either.
It's not perfect. Scenes tend to derail a bit too often, dragging things out quite a bit at times. That could become a problem. Also there are times where characters just don't participate in dialogue, even though they are there and should say something. The biggest one I saw there was when a heroine fell naked on the protag, and none of the other 3 girls in the room comments on that, or says anything. Let alone that girl realizing she's naked, or where the protag is she's talking to and she literally sits on top. That was so idiotic and also unfitting with the the rest of the game, I was just confused. Guess you have to show your fanservice CG more than for 5 lines, but please. Hope that's just an issue in the beginning, and they don't start to fuck later on with several other people in the same room who somehow don't notice..


Biman 4 is pretty much what you expect. Great art, average rest. If you want a trap protag nukige, it's quite nice. Especially because the "average rest" is on normal eroge basis. The average nukige/high ero VN is on a much lower level than Biman 4. Though if you don't come for the ero, you should probably not come at all.


Then I tried Golden Hour. The beginning was extremely crude. The heroines were introduced so fast that it felt like I'm watching some advertisement channel and someone is trying to sell me something. The setting doesn't get dealt with much better. But, the actual dialogue after that is fine and the cast likeable enough. And hey, as crude as the beginning may be, at least it's fast?
The game seems to go towards relationship drama, which wouldn't be much different to the author's work before this. So far I enjoyed this more though. But the one before was half a nukige, so... yeah.
