obsessed with the concept of this christian gaming journalism site where each review is accompanied by a morality score based on how well the game aligns with christian principles. the lowest i could find was baldurs gate 3 which has a morality score of 11% lol

the game awards never feature anything close to visual novels so I'm going to recommend 20 indie visual novels
