Shantae - $5, Virtual Console - For some reason I've never actually owned the first Shantae game, despite being interested in it since the beginning, so... I finally bought it. I should have bought the original GBC version back when it came out but I didn't, and in the last few years have gotten the other three games in this series, so here I got the first game last. Heh. It's good.
Parascientific Escape: Cruise in the Distant Seas - $4, on sale (regular price is $5) - This is a Japanese adventure game. It's an escape-room game, where you play as a girl stuck on a huge cruise ship which is sinking. The game is part visual novel, about the main character and three other girls who are trying to disarm a bomb that has been strapped around one girls' neck, while also getting off before the ship sinks, and part traditional-ish adventure game, as you look around for items to pick up and figure out where to use them. You also have some psychic powers, as the name suggests, which lets you move things around behind walls, for some minigame-esque elements. You can't move around each screen though, only look at still images at various points, and your inventory is limited, so this is a fairly simple game. Still, it's fun. Fortunately there isn't actually a timer, that would be awful... but yeah, this is an alright short little game.
