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 […]
It’s rare that a visual novel catches my attention the way Break Chance Memento has. It certainly had plenty of reasons for me to ignore it now that I think about it, however despite the BL and everything associate with that sort of thing I find myself looking forward to playing the game in full. A lot […]
Well, the holidays are done and 2012 is right around the corner!

On October 10th I, by an absolutely fluke, ran across the teaser for Dischan Media’s Cradle Song. A project going on three years in the making, it has been a labor of love for the founder of Dischan: Jeremy Miller AKA Dani. But, just who is Dani? When will Cradle Song be released and then what […]

Beatriz Garcia has been doing commercial work since 2009 and her incredible skills can be seen in some of the most noteworthy English VNs of the past two years. Currently she is working on […]
Of course it was going to be Otome: of course. Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome promises to be an interesting title featuring potentially one of the most relatable Otome heroines of all time. Let’s see where this one takes us! About Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome: When two handsome young men spot the perfect girl to be […]
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 […]
In my first interview ever, I had a conversation with a Polish developer named Tom Grochowiak. Just entering the indie scene, good ol’ Tom wanted to make an EVN after a string of smaller hits.
