Well, let me go ahead and spoil this for everyone: Detective Butler isn’t about a crime-fighting detective that is also a butler. I’ll give you a moment to recollect yourselves. I’m hurt about this too, but we must move on. Still though, such wasted potential. Mystery-based visual novels are a rarity in the West with […]
Technically I shouldn’t even be doing this, there is a long list of games from 2013 I have to finish before month’s end. However, while working on my backlog I have watched and waited for someone to pick up on this visual novel. And waited. And waited. And although I’ve learned to be much more […]
Like the expanse of the Mighty Rio Grande, there seems to be no escaping Pyrite Heart. If you’ve been busy since the start of the year, allow yours truly to catch you up. Pyrite Heart is a free otome game released at the tail end of last year that has been met with a near […]
So, let’s talk bad. I said before in a review that I try not to focus in on the bad EVNs if I can help myself, but at the same time it’s sometimes unavoidable to avoid the turkeys. So, in preparations to celebrate the Best, let’s take a moment to remember the Worst! Now, to […]
Your Primary GOAL, isn’t to beat this Game in the fastest way, or fastest time.

Hey everyone! IT’S STORY TIME WITH JP! Years and years ago there was a website called MangaBullet. On that website, there was a writers group headed by a young woman called OokamiKasumi. Her goal was to provide aspiring writers with the tools needed for them to grow. She was not alone in this goal, however. […]
As an outsider looking in, I would define Winter Wolves’ 2013 as a resounding ‘Meh’. If the EVN community had a ‘legacy’ brand, it would most likely be Winter Wolves. They were one of the first into the fray of the public market and won Studio/EVN Circle of the Year in the 2011 Best Ofs […]
When I first started VNs Now, I wanted it to be dictated by the readers as much as it is my own personal tastes. Because of that, I have played such fun and exciting titles like don’t take it personally babe, Locked In and Break Chance Memento. So chances are, as long as it isn’t […]
Adaptation may be one of the toughest jobs anyone can undertake and, more often than note, falters in the shadow of its inspiration. In the two years and change I’ve been over this website, I have seen many aspiring writers and artists try to adapt their favorite anime, manga, novel, etc. with varied success. However, […]
