No warming up in the bull pen tonight. Let’s jump right into Dischan’s Kinect Novel: Juniper’s Knot. Oh and there are some slight spoilerish moments here as well so if you haven’t played the KN yet, well, get to it and then get back here. STORY If you’re a regular of VNs Now you have […]
Okay, before we get into this review some explanation is needed because there is a reason I don’t follow a lot of otome or even straight-up romantic visual novels. Look, I’m not as vain as my massive ego would lead you to believe. I understand that there are some things in this world that aren’t […]
Comrades! Good news on the Western Front! The otome bourgeois pigs are shrinking in fear of the elevation of yours truly as your Commissar in our eternal fight against their overbearing, sugary romance! But even as the proletariat continues to advance, the people’s enemy continues to aim their fangs at the necks of our brothers […]
For such a ‘slow month’ with most everyone focused on completing their NaNoRenO projects, there are a lot of visual novels coming out of the pipe. One that caught my attention was LINEAR: Divine Seer – Chapter 1. Armed with an intriguing premise, LINEAR is not a terrible title but it isn’t necessarily a great start […]
In 1972, after watching the premiere of The Godfather, then National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger pulled aside Paramount Production Chief Robert Evans to talk about the death scene of Don Corleone.

As far as the popular culture goes, Christianity usually ends up on the short end of a very big stick. Seriously, other […]
Right before the end of 2011, I released my Most Anticipated English Visual Novels of 2012. At the time, I figured it was a pretty good list. However, statistically speaking, 9 out of 10 VNs Now.com readers had a single question, ‘WHAT ABOUT KATAWA SHOUJO?!?!?!?!?!?’ The hype for the release of this EVN couldn’t have […]
Where do we begin? Outside of Katawa Shoujo, and some awards thing some weirdo was doing, January was set to be a pretty quiet month here at the VNs Now Global HQ. In the beginning, I thought that would be fine but then I fell across a VN by Zeiva Inc. Now, I’ve never played […]
Clannad. The Key visual novel has spawned an animated series, a manga series as well as two OVAs (Original Video Animation) and a film. With that kind of popularity, it is only natural that there would be a mountain fan works on both sides of the globe. That is the spirit behind Clannad: The Past […]
It’s been just about a year since Jisei was released by SakeVisual to both acclaim and criticism. It was one of the first English Visual Novels I ever played and, despite my few issues, I gave it a Eight out of Ten. Now SakeVisual has released Kansai and once again you are dropped into the […]
