Is it connected to the overall Trails series? Who knows, but new players don't need to worry about it. What I can tell you is, Zwei 3 is real and this game is it! And it's really good too.

If you've somehow managed to play all the Trails games up to this point, congratulations, this is your reward. Tightly paced, thoughtful, a little weird in a good way, Wazy is in this one.

Ok, this one's a messy one. I don't know if all the writers involved knew the central metaphor. You could cut 30 hours. Misogyny. BUT, it's real fun to play, and there are real writing highs too.

Even more so than usual for the series, the second half of the cold steel arc is both ambitious yet deeply flawed. Play for the especially well done NPCs and main cast, and new combat additions.

Misericorde Volume 2 dares to ask: What the bunch of nuns involved in a murder mystery from volume 1, were also horny. Much to consider, especially for the deeply repressed protagonist. It's good!

Multiple times while I playing this, I mistakenly thought "I am on top of things both narratively and thematically". I was a fool. It's excellent, compelling and thoughtful, from beginning to end.

The least essential Higurashi release on steam, this is for the Higurashi sickos. There are some bits in here that I personally can't stop thinking about (it's gay and gender...ish), but I am sickos.

If you like roguelikes, rhythm games, and good music, then you should absolutely give this game a shot. Are we allowed to recommend switch games on steam? Cadence of Hyrule, the sequel, is also good.

As we all know, videogames are apolitical. And if they aren't, it's a coincidence. Now, unrelatedly, let me check on the status of the company that made this game about the freedom to create art...

Oh I get it, the company is called Seedy Eye games because this game's based on the Zelda CDI games. Ohhhhhhh! It's really good too. A neat metroidvania-ish game with banging music and fun characters.
