Taking place in the same world as Mothmen 1966, Varney Lake brings us another awesome story, which is a delight to read because of how well written it is, accompanied by a visually stunning pixel art, which causes one to stop and admire it several times. Although I completed it in about 2 hours, a large amount of content remained to be seen, making it more replayable than its predecessor. Visual novels are not to the taste of all gamers, and these pixel-pulp are a rather peculiar content, luckily both Mothmen 1966 and Varney Lake have free demos so if you are not sure, I invite you to try them.100SalvorIndies

Varney Lake is an interesting coming-of-age story with a supernatural twist. The characters were all fun and the interactions between the children were great. If you have a couple of hours to spare, check this pixel pulp story out and learn what happened in the summer of 1954.75GameGrin
