Welcome to my first VNTS Review in 2023. Since we have Brothers Conflict release, I'd make a parody of the Fall 2001 anime Angel Tales, which is somehow fitting seeing that both have 13 characters of the same gender with the MC is from the different gender (Although Brothers Conflict heroes are not the animal in their past life though), so we have 'Brother Tales' for the title. For the first week of 2023, the only release that we have is Brothers Conflict, although obviously it's not that I'd paid attention to. That said, the updates that we have here are far more interesting compared to the single release. Oh yes Shiravune also about to release their first 2023 title, although it's not what I look forward from them here so I suppose they want to go through their smaller title first. All in all, this week is more or less another average one, and let's see what I can write in regard of it.

Even though we have Brothers Conflict release, it's not been released by Aksys Games but instead it was fan translated. For the premise, we have our female MC Ema who had her remarry a man who turned out has 13 handsome sons, and when Ema moved on the brother didn't easily accepted her in. Of course though, sooner or later the brothers feeling towards Ema starts to change, and from there it's possible that the changed feeling will be blossoming towards the forbidden love. It also has anime adaptation, so at least it's quite popular to a degree. As for the translated version, it's Passion Pink. I did mention the version because turned out there's a big difference between version, with said difference is which brothers that you can date, so you can't date all of the brothers in the translated version here. Go get Brothers Conflict if you want to play it and have PSV (The translator only translate PSV version), and have fun.

Cherry Kiss announce yet another nukige with the title Kinky Cosplay: Gyarus Gone Wild, and well I can only say that it's another short nukige from Miel with the focus is the gyaru heroines. In case you want to get it, it'll be available on 13th later. Speaking of nukige, Shiravune first 2023 title is one in that it's the sequel of nurse femdom nukige, Nope Nope Nope Nurses, and it should be obvious that it'll be about another femdom nukige with nurses heroines, so it's not my interest here. In case you want to get it though, you can note the release date in which it'll be on 20th later.

JAST did confirm that they're failed to release Tokyo Necro in 2022, but in exchange they mentioned that they're preparing for both Steam and GOG release, so at least you can buy it from the other stores beside JAST store. As for the cause of the delay, as expected it's more or less because the engine work of it is still not done yet, especially with them mentioned that they're 'working closely with Nitroplus to deliver the best possible experience for players', which apparently involving several testing and stuffs. Speaking of delay, we also have Lupercalia release delayed because of the translator was too busy, although he most certainly promised that he'll release the full translation patch in this month. Oh yes we have Lupercalia is at 99% edited with QC in progress, with the remaining things to do are give a look through to all script files along with cleaning typos here and there.

For the rest of fan translation updates, besides Brothers Conflict release and Lupercalia delay announcements, we have Chronos is fully translated along with 80% edited, 70 out of 138 script files of Umi kara Kuru Mono are translated, Senmomo is at 84.08% edited with side stories is at 44.3% edited, the editing of Tsuki's route in Akagoei FD is currently ongoing with the translator started translating Akagoei 3, ChuSingura is at 17.78% translated, H2O is at 81.3% translated with Hamaji's route was fully translated, and Eustia is at 99.46% in programming with Licia's chapter is at 97.14% in programming. We also have Snow Ryuujin informed that they managed to translated 2 out of 4 sex scenes in Hikari's route of Miagete, in which it's pretty much about 60% like the last update mentioned.

That's all for what I can say in regard of this week, and see you next week.
