    Review: Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds (PC)

    Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds Publisher: Idea Factory Developer: Idea Factory Genre: Visual Novel Release Date: 8/24/2017 Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds was a surprising release for me.

    Review: Miniature Garden (PC)

    Miniature Garden Developer: Muzintou Publisher: Fruitbat Factory Genre: Visual novel Release Date: 03/30/2017 I tend to be a voracious consumer of visual novels and a sucker for anything with mystery and/or horror elements to it.

    Bear With Me Publisher: Exordium Games Developer: Exordium Games Genre: 2D Point-and-Click Adventure Release Date: 08/08/2016 Y’know, there’s something about the idea of an episodic noir adventure game about a girl and her bear that just says, “Play me.” So I popped in the Steam key for Bear With Me by Exordium Games and gave it a whirl. What I…

  • Review: Karakara (PC)

    Karakara Genre: Visual Novel Developer: Calme Publisher: Sekai Project Release Date: 06/27/16 While Nekopara, as a series, isn’t really my favorite VN series on the market, there’s an inherently interesting idea buried under the surface of the wacky sex comedy as presented. There are some legitimately interesting ideas in the narrative, like how the world…
