The cool breeze begins to blow and the sunlight starts to fade. Let's look back at great games we witnessed in September. We had a heartbreaking visual novel about love and regret, a poem generator to capture various words from a stream of text, a moving sim with recorded audio archives, and a hungry birds survival game.

Have a look through our entire selection below. And if you want to find more convenient collections of games such as this, check out our round-up tag!
