Remember Air Pressure? It was that visual novel by bentosmile that, depending which comments section you asked, was about substance abuse, self-mutilation, or anti-depressants. Air Pressure landed a close third in Free Indie Rapid Fire back in March with about 25% of the vote, so it seems like a quite few of you really liked it. Maybe even enough to play another!
We see what you did there, bentosmile.
Enter The Life Of A Pacifist Is Often Fraught With Conflict, a game about game development (if games were developed by anthropomorphic animals). Like Air Pressure, there’s a branching path and multiple endings, and you’ll have to play through it multiple times if you want a chance at better understanding the developer’s intent. Pretty interesting stuff.
If that’s not enough to satisfy your desire for hot sexy visual novel action, there’s another neat untitled game by bento smile that uses actual photographs of a plush cat around a house as the artwork (to satisfy the bricolage theme of the competition it was created for). Once again, if you dug Air Pressure, you’ll probably find a lot to like in both of these.

a interesting game, not as good as air pressure though. the choices in this one did not really interest me, nor did the story line. but overall it kept me playing till i got 3 endings. but it also made me wonder what it really was all about.
I think it was about the pacifist having to choose between what he thinks about violence and what he needed to do to work evn if he didnt like it and just get used to it. Or something like that. I wished the decisions made a bigger change, instead of just keeping everything for him/herself and change the looks of the characters. The difference between endings isnt so big, they are too short. I still liked it.
