April Madness 2016: Round One, Match 2

This match is, on paper, straight forward. One is a demonic being desperate to stave off impeding hunger and the other is someone’s Shih Tzu (I think it’s a Shih Tzu anyway) explaining the American tax code. Something tells me we’ll be done with this one pretty quickly. NaNo VNs all set? Ready? GO!   […]

April Madness 2016: Round One, Match 1

And so, the Madness begins. Before we begin, let’s go over the rules shall we? This is a ‘competitive review’ series where I am competing with myself to finish all of the NaNoRenO projects for 2016. I’m sure some will not like the format, but if it keeps me going it keeps me going. And with […]

Beach Bounce Remastered Review (April Fools 2016)

EDITOR’S NOTE: YES , for anyone still wondering, this was an April Fool’s Joke. But it’s fun to pretend AJT and his crew managed to do a complete 180 isn’t it? So, last year I played a series of games from Dharker Studios; formerly AJ Tilley.com. To say I was harsh on those titles is […]

Sakura Santa Review

…..Fuck this shit. I’m out. FINAL SCORE – (0/10) WHAT THE FUCK?! ………..Oh if it was only that simple. My friends, at last we’ve reached the end of the road. After playing Sakura Swim Club, I realized that I was going to lose my mind trying to keep up with the coagulated river of monkey […]

Break Chance Memento Review

In 2012, one of the young groups that stood out to me was a two-person team called Cyanide Tea. Auro-Cyanide and Lorelei had accomplished little at the time, but their big project showed a lot of promise…even for a Boys Love title. While they were working on Break Chance Memento the group also developed an […]

Beach Bounce Episode 2 Review

Have you ever engaged a piece of media that wasn’t worth the mental energy you put into it? Any media critic will answer that question ‘Yes’ just because of the sheer weight of the refuse labeled as ‘entertainment’ they have to shovel through week in and week out. In that, this corner of the Internet […]

We Know the Devil Review

Before we begin this review, I felt the need to have a little fireside chat with you guys. We Know the Devil deals with issues concerning religion, sexuality and gender. Because of this, many people have had a very intimate, personal response to the game. And I have done this thing long enough to know when […]

Sakura Swim Club Review

Before we begin this review, I would be remiss if I didn’t note that VNs Now has a new Reviews Editor! It’s a familiar face for those long-time readers who remember Will Wellemeyer (aka Ozzytizer) was our Reporter. He’s been busy, but he’s still been around behind the scenes of VNs Now. He’ll be taking […]

Beach Bounce Episode 1 Review

We don’t really get a chance to laugh at this medium a lot, do we? It certainly wasn’t by design, I’ll tell you that. In the early years, VNs Now did attempt to have some fun with EVNs: especially when I inevitably had to review a bad one. However, bad work stops being funny after […]
