Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories

Apr 8, 12:00 games

Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a bit deceptive in its title. What we actually get is, for lack of a better phrase, weirder than that. Melon Journey is far more irreverent and yet bizarrely touching, all at once. ― Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories is a bit deceptive in its title.
