Hello and welcome to this year’s first EVN Chronicles Steam Curator Clean-up, where I look at the games that were sent to me in the past six months through Steam’s Curator Connect, but were either too small to warrant a full review, or I simply couldn’t cover them in detail due to time constraints. When I first did this kind of posts last year (you can check them out here: Part 1, Part 2), some of the games featured there waited extremely long for being covered. Because of this, I’ve decided that from this point forward, I’ll make this a twice-a-year event, being sure that every VN given to me gets its space on the blog within a reasonable time period. As always, I’m extremely thankful to all the developers that send me their work for assessment and it saddens me whenever my impressions are negative. I hope, however, that the feedback I can offer will be valuable to them, while believe it’s my duty to my readers to warn them against buying a game I find lacking. So, setting the introductory drivel aside, I hope you enjoy this brief overview of these four interesting VNs sent to me during the first half of 2019! Snowed IN Snowed IN is an unusual yuri nukige, focusing on pair for soldiers in the distant future, where cybernetic enhancement of the human body has reached incredible levels of sophistication. The protagonist, Sigma, is an experienced spec-ops officer who has modified her body to the point where little of it remains organic. For an infiltration mission against a cell of anti-augmentation radicals, she’s assigned with a fresh, talented recruit – a full “natural” named Linde, whose presence in the military is connected with an affirmative action plan for those not augmented. The two polar-opposite individuals, both through their background and attitudes, have to work together to survive the extremely dangerous assignment – and the mission itself hides even more threats and twists then the initial setup would suggest. Sounds intriguing? It surely does, but the fact this is a nukige, and a very short one at that (up to an hour and a half of content), should be taken into account when setting your expectations. The game explores its main themes rather briefly, often switching to sex scenes that are only vaguely justifiable in the context of the tense plot – the writing and main intrigue are solid, but simply too rushed to provide a compelling narrative. There are also some highly-questionable elements to it, especially in the rather distasteful bad ending – that’s definitely one point at which h-content was very unnecessary, even if those scenes are the “main point” of the game. As a piece of yuri smut in an unusual setting, it's definitely not the worst thing around – just don't expect anything more than that.

Pretty sure he simply meant the censored nipples which can be considered a part of censoring H-scenes.

Yeah, Yandere was pretty fucking garbage. That scumfuck deserved everything he got. Crimson Gray and it's sequel is actually very enjoyable however.

I finished playing Steam Prison and I liked it quite a bit The protag was good, the world building was pretty solid, and I enjoyed playing through all the route, well, except for Valentine's. I think the true route was the best out of the bunch Also,

Good to see you around here again, shit taste and all. Inaba for life.

Oops. This is awkward. I actually got really, really, really lucky and survived. So, I felt obligated to say something/give closure. I now have a new favorite hobby (reading VNs) that synergies great with the other things I enjoy (learning Japanese, watching anime). VNs are the best thing I got out of the near death experience. So, still, and again, thanks for the list. You contributed to the creation of a new lifelong VN reader. Thanks!

Wow, I'm really 2 months away from being a two-year member. I usually forget how long I've been here until I look it up and think "damn, I'm way too old for this anime nonsense." But here we are: 1000 likes. As some of you might know by now, I don't care much about post counts so I waited to get a juicy like number to make this kind of thread. And it does seem as if I am entertaining you guys, looking at my Post/Like difference (the internal mechanics of our OT forum are obviously completely unrelated). Most of that probably stems from memeing too much, but I would like to think that my contributions in the discussion forums are insightful too. So, I hereby thank Fuwanovel as a whole for being better than reddit and our mod staff for their hard work in the fight against trolls, spam, random porn links and the occasional creepy otaku confession. Now, to the call-outs. Because everyone does it, I guess. @Suzu Fanatic and @Fred the Barber: I didn't place you two into your video roles randomly, you two are kind my "fanclub", if I can say that without looking like an asshole. Anyway, I appreciate all the support you two in particular give me for basically no reason at all. Pressing that green button actually makes me happy. @mitchhamilton, you get a deserved third spot in the fanclub, but you have been slacking lately. The Skype People, who give me an excuse to waste ours of my life with nothing but text chat: @Hanako, @Vokoca, @madvanced, @Dergonu, @Asonn, @Kawasumi, @Vongalaxy, @Kiriririri, @LinovaA(come back, you lazy adult!), @Zakamutt, @YarrakYarrak (no idea who you are here), @Yeah Way (I'm from Tibet, now you know), @sarayne, @Kurisu-Chan (don't let everything in life slap you down, it's bad for your health), @hsmsful, @Hymen, @Funyarinpa (look at me covering the desert in one go ) and some more which I probably forgot because they haven't been online for at least 2 hours \(°ω°)/ The Princess Evangile People: I honestly don't remember who all of you were, but I will never forget how much fun that damn thread was. @Eclipsed, @Zenophilious, @Tiagofvarela, @KosakiFag, @crunchytaco, @Flutterz, @Nosebleed : You guys were the fools who made me feel welcome here from the get-go. I don't care who the real Fuwa-oldguard is, you guys are my oldguard. @Fiddle: You make me depressed, because you are like me; just in funny. But then I read your posts and laugh the depression away. @Decay, @Rooke, @Kaguya: You three probably didn't expect this call out - since we have different opinions on pretty much everything - but you three are really smart and enjoy being around smart people. Even if I don't agree with them. @OriginalRen: You are not the best Reviewer in the world, but you are a great Entertainer. Play to your strengths! @CeruleanGamer: It's not like I care about Nee-san, I just felt like mentioning her. @Valmore: It's not like I care about Aniki, I just felt like mentioning him. @Palas and @nohman: You two are smart and pleasant company. Running into you on the board is always a pleasure. @TheguywholikesDearDrops: You know who you are, keep it up. @Elina-chan; You are the best waifu. Luv u bby <3 @all the translators who actually finish their projects; Texas Dice loves all of you. I would rob a bank for your sakes, you glorious bastards! Here we are, thanks for all the likes everyone! People not mentioned in the thread or shown in the video are free to complain. Now everyone can ask me whatever they want to ask. I shall answer in honest, unless I feel like lying.

So wait, the VN has extra censorship beside the removal of H-scenes? Are we talking about this nonsense?
