Andy and Leyley is game with extremely positive feedback. I have yet to play that one, but heard a lot of goo stuff about it.

It's excellent indeed. Nemlei other novels are also worth checking out, specially:

• Better Half - In an underground dystopia with rouge mages, meet Thiu, a NEET outcast with suicidal tendencies looking for an out from his sad life. After deciding to attend to the dark arts, an spell split him in half, in the hope that he can get away from his most darkest feelings. The problem? He wake up to realize that he inherited all of his worst feelings, while his better half got the better ones. A hilarious tale of self loathing, as well as self realization, follow Thiu adventure that will determine if he will find joy along his better half, or in becoming one again.
• Divilethion - In some faraway Scandinavian fictional setting, the chaotic god Divilethion take upon his protection an obscure village in the middle of danger and nowhere, but not without a price... Meet Lynn, a high priest of the divilethion church in charge of undergoing the sacrifices for this relentless deity, that lives with his little brother. Everything goes well, until Lynn will have to decide if his love for his brother is greater than the adoration to his god.
• Jack in A Castle - A picture book style tale of mystery and romance ambiented in a fictional world with toys inhabitants. Marion Marionette set out to investigate what happened to the king of Toyboxian, which mysteriously dissapeared and was replaced by his jester right hand man Jack, only to find out the darkest secret of the wicked castle, and to determine the imminent fate that await to the kingdom.

The other works are also fine. You know? I'm starting to suspect that Nemlei herself have some occult background of sorts. Ritual, underworld creatures, and other magic stuff are very prominent in her works.
