Cross Days: A trainwreck as enthralling as it is infuriating

Makoto Itou is often vilified as the worst VN protagonist ever. These people clearly haven't played Cross Days. VNDB Getchu Cross Days is a retelling of the events of School Days from the perspective of Yuuki Ashikaga, a boy in the same year as Makoto Itou, the protagonist of School Days. Yuuki is childhood friends with Hikari Kuroda and a member of the library club, and his older sister Chie belongs to the basketball club. Good-natured but indecisive, he often puts the needs of others be

Makenshi Leane: A surprisingly addictive NTR-focused strategy game

VNDB DLSite (NSFW) Official site I came across this Japanese-language title while scrounging around for gameplay titles with defeat rape. I found the concept of defeat NTR intriguing, so I gave the game a spin. The game's "prologue" spans almost half the game's length (~20hrs total) , and manages to tell a reasonably interesting tale of a broken nation's struggle against a brutal and militaristic empire. It starts off with a cliched love story between a knight commander (the protagonis

Announcement: Migration to sanahtlig.blogspot.com and Blog update
