So, do I strike anyone who can enjoy a dumb, guilty pleasure for what it is? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. Look, I’m not going to go full Snob and say there is no place for that type of entertainment (trust me, there is). It would shock people to find what lurks in the […]
Despite public perception of me, I try very hard not to be an ass. That isn’t to say I don’t enjoy being an ass when someone deserves the treatment, but I don’t go out of my way to be an ass or overly negative. It’s one of the reason why there are so few free […]
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 […]
Your Primary GOAL, isn’t to beat this Game in the fastest way, or fastest time. But, to understand all the story and this game’s chronology from the begining, until the end. ~The Author We haven’t covered a lot of laughably bad titles on this site. Pretentiously Bad? Check.

You’d think I would’ve found a more elegant way to go about this by now. I’ve tried writing this intro three times now and I have yet to properly get across what I want to say. I don’t consider myself completely inept but this game just confounds me. I may not be, and may never […]
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, […]
