Nekopara Vol. 2 Genre: Visual Novel Developer: Neko Works Publisher: Sekai Project Release Date: 02/19/16 It’s hard to know what to make of Nekopara as a series.

Review: Strawberry Vinegar (PC)
Strawberry Vinegar Genre: Visual Novel Developer: Ebi-Hime Publisher: Sekai Project Release Date: 01/05/16 So, let’s get this out of the way up front: Strawberry Vinegar is a hard game to process, and even now I’m not entirely sure I get it. In theory, it’s a visual novel based around a fish-out-of-water outsider friendship plot, and…

Review: Punch Club (PC)
Punch Club Publisher: tinyBuild Developer: Lazy Bear Games Genre: retro/RPG/strategy Release Date: 01/08/2015 Punch Club could easily be renamed “1980’s Fight Movie Underdog Simulator 2016,” as it really embraces its ideas and drowns you in a deluge of ‘80s and ‘90s references.
