Well kids, I think this is what my brothers and sisters of the Catholic faith would call a mea culpa. Circle Pegasi isn’t new to the EVN scene. In fact their first kinetic novel, Firefly, was released three years ago. So, why is this the first time your humble host has ever discussed the label? […]
Earlier this year I reviewed Rising Angels: The Red Rose from IDHAS Studios. It was an average title that was ultimately the sums of its choices. Clearly it was also not the title KomiTsuku, the mind behind IDHAS, wanted to release so he went back to the drawing board to revamp the entire series. Rising […]
Last year I talked about a little kinetic novel called Touhou Mecha. The fangame earned my attention with its animated mech battles and obviously love of the source material. Its weaknesses were also obvious and that version of the game earned its 5/10. But the story doesn’t end there. Since that time Dai-Sukima Dan, the […]
I like vampires. Considering the current trend in popular culture of turning this particular legendary monster into a toothless Abercrombie model for tweens to fawn over, that statement probably seems a bit strange. But as a classical literature guy, I know the roots of the vampire and its origins connect to humanity’s most obsessive thoughts […]
OUR HERO EVERYONE! Solstice is split between two different main characters: Galen and Yani. Both have their own personal secrets and motives for coming to the North, but of the two Galen could have the bigger personal experiences while Yani has to most to accomplish with the larger world. Er, perhaps I should explain. With […]
There seems to be an irrevocable connection between this site and Moacube. For those of you familiar with VNs Now lore (do we even have lore yet?) my first interview for the site was with Tom Grochowiak: the founder of Moacube. After that, as the development of Cinders continued I released my first actual visual […]
…We need to have a talk about Anvils and why I hate them. Look, I know for a fact I have a wide spectrum of readers here and that’s exactly what I want. What we believe about politics or religion shouldn’t be a factor in the games we like. The idea of it even being […]
So, anyone here ever guessed I’m something of a fan of the Fate/Stay Night franchise? I’m still not sure how it happened honestly. And yes the storyline is a bit ridiculous, but the characters all found a way to grow on me. So I kept an eye on its prequel Fate/Zero and I’m anxiously awaiting […]
What’s about to happen in this update, I think, is unprecedented in this medium. Many English Visual Novels do not make it out of the beta stage, but when they disappear from the public eye they are forgotten. But after studying the case of Mitsumata, I believe it deserves a bit more time on the […]
Ladies, Gentlemen and Children of All Ages…Welcome to YAFI! Also known as, YOU ASKED FOR IT! Somewhere along the way in this crazy journey, people believe me to be some sort of reliable and honest source for critiques. Setting aside the fact that peer pressure made me watch Queen’s Blade and Brother’s Conflict, I am […]
