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 […]
There is no one in their right mind who cannot deny the massive level of talent in the EVN community. Trying to narrow it to a single list is impossible and extremely controversial (which means I may try to one day) but somewhere on that list has to be KomiTsuku: Chief of I Don’t Have A […]
Regular readers of this website knows that I had no idea who Christine Love until someone suggested one of her projects to me. Since then, I have defied every bit of Earthly logic to become something of a fan. And after playing the terrific Analogue: A Hate Story (Review Here) I knew I had to interview […]
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.

There are certain things in life that turns into an Nathan Drake adventure without you even trying. After today, I think it’s fair for Mitsumata to be in that category.

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. Kissinger told Evans that Corleone was a killer and a gangster, but that when he died the entire arena m.elted into tears. Taking a […]
It is always a special privilege to talk to one of the hardworking developers in the EVN community: especially right now in the middle of a very busy 2014. Originally I had planned to make this a key feature in the newsletter I wanted to start in February, but after a test run I realized […]
Full Disclosure: I’m a Christian. Southern Baptist, to be specific. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I have to admit I opened up Rejoice: The Gospel of Matthew with a little trepidation. As far as the popular culture goes, Christianity usually ends up on the short end of a very big stick. Seriously, other […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. You wake up in an insane asylum. Trapped in your own nightmares, you begin losing hope as your own mind drives you insane. Your friends are on the way to spring you out, but your psychosis has other plans. That’s the basic setup for a promising visual […]
