Today’s edition of the Visual Novel Review Digest covers six visual novels. It is 2767 words: a 21 minute read. In my last VNRD, I spent a lot of time taking about visual novels that appealed to my tastes well before I played them. So, this time around I wanted to move outside of my […]
Welcome to a new corner for my musings and observations. The Calcutta Club is the latest platform for me to speak my mind, only this time while enjoying my favorite vice: cigars. The name for the feature comes from the room where the writers of the 24 television series tossed ideas around and developed the […]
Originally, I wanted to cover the last ten years within the visual novel genre on my own. I had several ideas on how to approach looking back at the 2010s. In the end though, from a purely critical point-of-view, while the plan to look back at the best and worst of the 2010s was solid, […]
Before I begin this discussion of one of the all-time greatest anime, I want to take a second to remember someone who passed recently. I’m not going to pretend I was an avid reader or follower of Zac Bertschy. When he wrote something interesting, I paid attention. When we disagreed, we butted heads like two […]

The World End Economica Trilogy is one of my favorite video game series of all time. As a visual novel, it stands head and shoulders over a large majority of other offerings both in the East and the West. This is due to many factors and a lot of those factors are connected to the […]
Today’s edition of the Visual Novel Review Digest covers ten visual novels. It is 3337 words: a 25 minute read. I’ve been in a bit of a bloodthirsty mood lately. The current world situation and spending a month working from home probably hasn’t helped. Luckily for me, I have an entire slate of dark visual […]
Considering our new format, my initial plan was to hold in-depth critique of anything I reviewed until after the Review Digest. However, I have a few things to say about Toge Productions’ Coffee Talk. I’ll still do an official review. Today though, I will be discussing why I did not like this game. I will […]
So, imagine if Spike Chunsoft and Suda51 had sex during the Met Gala. Paradise Killer would be the bastard offspring. That’s not a knock, believe it or not. The game is designed to drip pants-on-head insanity from ever crevice of its code. From the world’s overall presentation to the introduction of the plot, the audience […]
