    I should write something, just to give this thread at least a post this month... Unfortunately due to circumstances I haven't been able to play much (more on that later), so this will be rather short as far as game comments as concerned. フユキス (Mito completed, Yuki to confession/first H) : This...

    星織ユメミライ Perfect Edition continued, with Marika's route next. This time I also played the route in parallel in the old game as well, advancing the text as the days go by to be more conscious of changes. It's not a perfect comparison but good enough to at least still enjoy the route without having...

    Either that, or the additional adult part scenes are better integrated into the story. Most of Hoshi Ori's adult sections tend to more calm and less dramatic than the school days, which makes noticing brand new events a little bit harder. I did play the game more than 5 years ago, never...

    Good to see you back! Hopefully things will calm down on your end and you'll have more time for some games. I have played one route of it so far, arguably the shortest : Natsuki. I was waiting to do a couple more before writing about it but I can give my overall opinion on it early. I'd say the...

    Second game of the month, and once again another look into Azarashi Soft's low-price offerings, let's talk this time about : 年下彼女 : I was both anxious and eager to try this game out, and the mean reason for this being that it is written by none other than porori. porori, to quickly recap, is...

    The school's inside does look kinda familiar indeed. Let's compare a bit shall we? Can you tell which is which? I suppose it's pretty standard for a miko heroine route to also feature some supernatural elements, but not necessarily, there's no such thing in Sayuki's route in Amakano for...

    I can't think of anything to write as a prelude so let's get right to it: ハジラブ -Making*Lovers- (Hatsuho) : Where even to begin... a small description I guess? This was sold as a remake of Making*Lovers, one of SMEE biggest successes of late, with similar concept and environment but in a...

    I would hope for a standard, non ultra-popular protagonist for 思い出抱えてアイにコイ!! but given the track record of the writer you mention, that seems pretty unlikely. We'll see. In other news, Tech Gian, the eroge magazine that has been publishing for around 25 years, will stop with its September...

    I wouldn't call either Keyorina or Hitsujikai very heavy drama-wise. There are some happenings in both but nothing that marked my memory so deeply that I could remember them off the top of my head anyway. Eustia is rather (in)famous for being very heavy and dark, which is exactly why I'm staying...

    Random comments about the new and less new games I played recently : あまいろショコラータ2 (Nana) : アイカギ3 (finished) : Fortune Arterial (to first choice) : Iris Mysteria, August's gacha game, is doing a collaboration event with itself (?) again, this time with Fortune Arterial's Erika and Haruna. As...

    Maybe, it wouldn't surprise me if the staff just re-organizes into another brand, especially considering the troubles Lose had with Last Run's release, both with the Japanese community (pulling reviews from EGS) and with the Chinese community (something about some seemingly Chinese characters...

    It seems you're right, I hadn't heard about it but Lose did say they are stopping development of new games, and are concentrating on making additional content for Maitetsu Last Run. Knowing the studio's history that can take quite a while, but I guess that's the end of the studio's particular...

    That is quite the discount! Lose usually does sales (at least more than other publishers), I think last year their older games were all at 500JPY but 100JPY is a new low as far as I know. I don't know where you're heard the rumor that Lose is disbanding, I haven't heard anything of the sort, or...

    Thanks for the details on each route. I may play Yuzuki's route eventually, but you comparing Irio to Chiho (from PurexConnect I assume) is a pretty bad sign for me since this is one of the two routes of that game I couldn't bear to see to the end, the other being Ayumi. Also I'm not too fond of...

    Some help with 学園退魔! ホーリー×モーリー and AlphaROMdiE please?

    Glad you got it to work! Don't worry about it, sometimes it can be hard to tell if a game doesn't work because of copy protection or if it's something else. In this case it seems the base program had some issues with recent windows versions, the patch is not just for WIN7 but for 7/8/10 so you...
