Clephas' VN home

Well I guess nowadays Whirlpool can't make something like Suzukaze no Melt again, although piece series might be interesting. At least their short VNs series, Nekonin, can get them some money, although whether Nekonin series is good on it's own or it's just merely follow Nekopara's trend is another matter. What I can say is that Drapri here is probably intended as their second short VNs series after Nekonin, so perhaps we may have the second part of this in the future.

Just by what I saw?  Almost definitely.  Unfortunately, I can't say whether I'll bother with a second entry... I liked the humor, but even the best humor can get old if it is repeated often enough.

It's not that Whirlpool can't make games like that anymore... it is more like it isn't cost-effective at present.  To be blunt, coronavirus has screwed up the VN world pretty badly, with otakus less likely to splurge on random charage or figurines than they were a year ago... and things were already on the decline then.

This looks to have accelerated a trend that was already rising, toward decreasing VN production and a more specific decline in the charage-lover demographic due to financial issues.
