Honestly feels like the first post should be special somehow, but I got nothing special and have to start somewhere.
I tried Harmonia today, which is a VN developed by Key, possibly known for also making Clannad and Planetarian. I haven't read either, but apparently Harmonia is similar to Planetarian, which I've also been wanting to read for some time.
Sadly, I didn't enjoy Harmonia at all. Both the characters and setting seemed too implausible to relate to, and thus, even when presented with an event outside the slow build-up, I couldn't really care much for it. It's about a 4-8 hour read overall, and I stopped slightly more than halfway through after I found myself just clicking through the text - barely reading, barely caring.

Also tried about 2 hours of Hyper Light Drifter - that's about a fifth of the entire game. It's decent. Nothing particularly good or bad about it so far. It's plenty difficult where a boss fight can take >10 tries and you can actually die during the tutorial, but you'll eventually learn how to approach each enemy type, so it's not overwhelming.
My main issues so far are that the game does a poor job of telling you what you're supposed to do, it's often difficult to distinguish floor from wall from abyss, and the combat could feel just a little bit more fluid.
