Collection Guide

• Completed: I finished most of the primary content of the game. In the case of Visual Novels, this can mean just the main/true route. If there is extra info on a completion, check the notes on the game page.
• Partially Completed: This can mean a few things. Primarily I use this status for games with multiple endings where I have finished multiple of them, but not enough to have the full main story. This status can also be used for games that I have dropped after a significant amount of gameplay, but that is subject to change.
• Uncompleted: Either I dropped the game early-on, or haven't even started it. You can infer this from the playtime info.
• Playing: This status means it is a game I am actively playing to completion with no current intention of dropping it. It is not a live status of what I am playing at that exact moment in time and space. And it's never used for games that would be marked as Misc.
• Misc: If no other status applies, it will be marked as Misc. This is most often used for games that don't have an end, such as Animal Crossing. It's also used for entries that are not games and therefore cannot be completed, such as Audio-CD's. If I own the game multiple times on the same platform, such as the digital and physical version, one of them will be marked Misc to avoid duplicated data.

The below symbols indicate media attached to a game. They are visible on the collection page:

• ✎ - A note is attached. This can contain anything from extra details (like endings completed or difficulty) to random thoughts that didn’t fit elsewhere.
• ✐ - Mini-review, just my quick thoughts and maybe a score of the game.
• ▣ - Photos are available. These are usually real-life pictures of the physical copy.
• ⧉ - Screenshots are available. These are in-game captures.
• ▶ - Videos are available. This could be gameplay clips or other related footage.

Not every game has all of these - they only appear when that type of content exists. You can also filter by media in the collection view.

The three main things to know about playtimes on this site is that "Unknown" means the game has been played, but I just don't have any evidence of playtime for it. "0h 0m 0s" means I have not played the game at all. And "N/A" means playtime is not relevant to the entry (this could be for a variety of reasons so be sure to check the game's notes). This database is based on... data! So I do not estimate playtimes, they are all provable at the time of entry. Keep in mind the playtime counter is never 100% accurate, all the data is entered manually and I don't visit the database every single time I play a game.

Playtime text changes colour based on how many hours I have recorded for that entry to make it easier to spot games with high playtime:

• Light green - 10+ hours
• Dark green - 30+ hours
• Bright green - 50+ hours
• Yellow - 100+ hours
• Red - 250+ hours
• Gold - 1000+ hours

The green and red numbers mean Completed and Uncompleted respectively. The Yellow number in brackets is how many "Partially Completed" games there are, the blue number means how many games I am actively playing, and the Grey number is how many games do not have a completion criteria.

For purchase dates, N/A means I didn't "purchase" the game (wink wink). Same goes for "price paid". There may be a few other reasons I've marked something as N/A but I can't remember at the time of writing. Usually I write reasons for marking something in a specific way in the notes of a game, so always check those if you're curious.

If a game doesn't have a cover art, it will use a photo of Mio as a placeholder. I try my best to keep the cover arts up to date. Most cover arts on this site come from IGDB, but some entries, such as Japanese games, Audio CD's, collectors editions etc are harder to find a good cover for.
