Viper-RSR is the only masterpiece of the month 1. Psychicer Mimi サイキッカー美々 [020705] Soubi Kenkyuujo Main character is a genius young man. One day he has his psychic powers awoken in front of a female classmate. She agrees to help him train these powers with a series of exercises, but others think of them as usual lovers. Strange incidents start to happen at school - is it possible to investigate them with newly acquired powers? Training is a form of H. There are three fields of supernatural studies, and investigation of the incidents depends on what power is mastered. Borderline half-baked game. 2. Shiroi Kiseki ~White Spur~ 白い軌跡 ～White Spur ～ [020705] Modern Times Main character starts to live alone to attend a university in Tokyo. However, his mother asks his childhood friend who came to Tokyo one year earlier to take care of protagonist. When protagonist sets to go to a snowboard training camp, his childhood friend volunteers to accompany him. It's a game with "Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Advanced" ski courses, so players are supposed to start over and over. But - luckily - they can't because of a critical bug that prevents reaching ending. Cool times. 3. Shirotsume Souwa -Episode of the Clovers- 白詰草話 -EPISODE OF THE CLOVERS- [020705] Littlewitch 1 Tokyo, year 2008. There is a mysterious group that experts from various fields gather. And Souji is the most outstanding researcher in the group, who researches about combat androids. He has produced three androids, Ema, Sayu and Toka. They adore Souji, and live a peaceful life. But one day, combat robots invade into his laboratory, and the battle to the end starts.... There is an English review. 4. Soukoku no Tsuki ~Aoku Kagayaku Tsuki no Yoru ni...~ 蒼刻の月～蒼ク輝ク月ノ夜ニ・・・～ [020705] Sight Main character's parents die in a traffic accident, and he is invited to stay at his grandfather's place. One day girls arrive to live in the same mansion. Girls have the same circumstances as protagonist and, according to grandfather, are invited to live as protagonist's wife candidates. This supposedly nice game has zero Japanese impressions, because zero originality moege from an unknown company can not be a nice game. 5. Alfred Gakuen Mamono Daitai アルフレッド学園魔物大隊 [020712] SofthouseChara The protagonist is a resident of devil's world and wanted to became a teacher. He finally managed to became a teacher and started teaching at Alfred Academy while living inside its night duty room. However, various mysterious cases started appearing one-by-one inside the academy, and he couldn't get a peaceful sleep. The source of this is that the academy is unnaturally overflowing with magic power. He called his subordinates from the devil's world and ordered them to recover the overflowing magic power. He feels the need to defend his position as a teacher. Will he be able to resolve the mysterious cases while still remaining as a teacher? Simulation game from Softhouse Chara. Defend the academy at night, scare and exorcise the evil spirits that's possessing your students. SofthouseChara keeps making weird mix of genre games. I need at least a normal RPG or tactical strategy to look into it. 6. Silvern ~Gin no Tsuki, Mayoi no Mori~ Silvern ～銀の月、迷いの森～ [020712] G-clef Main character admires manly men, because he is often take for a slender a cute girl. He gets a job of female dormitory caretaker for a week by mistake. How will this week go? New scenarios show up after each clear. First part is comical, second - serious. Scenario is inconsistent. Did you expect of trap moege something better? 7. Kamaitachi no Yoru 2 ~Kangokujima no Warabe Uta~ かまいたちの夜2 ～監獄島のわらべ唄～ [020718] Chunsoft 1 2 Abiko Takemaru, the creator of "Kamaitachi no Yoru" decides to invite all of the people he has based his characters on to his mansion on the otherwise deserted island of Mikadzuki. When they arrive they find themselves stuck on the island with their host inexplicably missing and an unknown culprit hunting down people according to an old song. There is an English review. 8. Guren Tenshou -Shura- 紅蓮天衝―修羅― [020719] Zone 1 Guren Tenshou: Shura continues directly from where the original Guren ended. After the fateful battle with Yasha, a new threat appears: a blond young man who has apparently come from another time. Lee Rekka and his girl-only Guren brigade (now fully assembled) have to figure out why and how such a man ended up in medieval Japan, defeating more demons on the way. Despite being a direct sequel story-wise, the gameplay in Shura has been greatly simplified, to the extent of not being a RPG any more. There are still turn-based battles, but they occur only against "boss" enemies, when the story dictates it, and involve little strategy but choosing the strongest attacks for all the characters. There are no experience points, no equipment, no items, and even no movement of any kind in the game - it just takes the player from place to place, allowing him only to click on the only available location on the map and occasionally slightly branch the story by making a decision. Scenario was not a strong point of Guren, and now it's even more obvious when RPG part is excluded. Noone took responsibility for the scenario, because it's just a scam - full of inconsistencies and bad moves. It's also surprising that only 3 out of 5 heroines have H events. Game is sometimes called the main kusoge of 2002. 9. Kikou Juu Yuushi Sakigake 機甲銃勇士サキガケ [020719] Digital Monkey 22nd century. Global self-defense organization "the Outer Space Defense Force" is launched. Main character is its officer. He leads a happy yet slightly boring everyday life, but everything changes with the assault of unidentified "Seeker". By chance he takes command over battleship and starts his crusade. There's strategy part and tactical land battles. Difficulty is moderate and can be lowered. Scenario is usual anime stuff. Some heroines can't be captured without latest patch. 10. Tantei Shounen A 探偵少年A [020719] Foster 1 Many people are in trouble in the big city. "Shirokuma Investigations" set up office here years ago, and it has helped numerous people with their problems. Akira is a student. He admires his energetic aunt, who runs "Shirokuma Investigations," and he's learned a lot from her. One day, his aunt suddenly disappears, leaving behind a note, "I'm going on a trip. Akira, please take care of my business." Suddenly, he's become the head manager in the investigation office! With the assistance of two cute girls, Akira manages to solve cases. Will he be able to become a full-fledged investigator, in whom his aunt would be proud of? What kind of cases will he and his assistants encounter? Game only takes 10 days, and there's small volume. The number of H events is high as usual, some 20 while the overall number of CG is just 65. 11. Aoi Umi no Tristia 蒼い海のトリスティア [020720] Kogado Studio 1 Tristia was a beautiful seaside town which slowly fell to ruin and dilapidation, following the invasion of the dragon ten years ago. The people of the town tried rebuilding the city in the hopes of attaining its former glory, but they failed. Hopeless, the people decided to send for Prospero Flanca, a legendary inventor who was well-known for revivifying many cities that were dying out. They received an answer from Prospero, but to their confusion, it was a girl who arrived to the port of the town. That girl was Nanoca, Prospero's granddaugther, and she is the one who was assigned to do the renovation project. There is an English review 12. Rhythmic Rev リズミック・レヴ [020725] Extreme 1 The hero of this story was a former champion of the RRGP125cc class. He moved onto the 500cc, but suffered a serious accident that took him out of racing. Still having a passion for the sport, he now happily works as a motor sports journalist. RRGP stands for “Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix”…Yeah there are a few letters missing in that anagram. In any case, it’s a motorcycle race, and he’s been covering/supervising an all-girl race team on their way to the final race. They are actually a sub-division of his old race team that helped him win his races before the accident. They go by the name of “Brain Palette Junior Team” (don’t ask me where “brain palette” came from *shrugs*), and they’re staffed by many a hottie. Will these ladies be able to achieve what he could not? AVG with three branches, each for two heroines. Six heroines overall. Polygons used to show race in order not to feel bored. Heroines lack personality. 13. Blue [020726] Caramel Box The protagonist was a star basketball player, looking forward to a bright future as a sportsman. But then he injures his right knee and the doctor's diagnosis turns out to be for him to refrain from hard exercise. Two years later he has overcome the odds and partially recovered, once again being able to play basketball. Even so, because of his measly height he isn't able to pursue a career in the sport he loves. He regrets nothing and continues to attend school, hanging out with his friends. What will happen the first summer he spends since quitting basketball...? Six heroines with most being weak. Atmosphere is relaxed and overall pleasant. Quitting basketball depiction takes a lot of game time, but it's hardly relevant at all for the course of the game. Love comes suddenly, same as drama. 14. Court no Naka no Tenshi-tachi 2 ~Softball Hen~ コートの中の天使達2～ソフトボール編～ [020726] Pinpai Main character is a gentle-minded lecturer who is ordered to supervise "Woman Softball Club" immediately after his arrival. He has to deal with withdrawal of almost all members after last coach spring training camp incident. Is restoring such club even possible? AVG + raising SIM. Special training and games increase the bond. It's time to let franchise rest in peace already. 15. Ebenbourg no Kaze エーベンブルグの風 [020726] Studio e.go! 1 Claude was a poor scholar living in England, but is called back to become the Lord of Ronsard by a counselor known as Sophie. Claude's life begins anew with the fate of the city in his hands. But the exiled former lord Eric wants his power back and plans to assassinate Claude. At his new home, Claude meets the lovely maid of the mansion, Mylene. There is an English review. 16. Knot ~Kizuna no Mahou~ knot～絆の魔法～ [020726] feng Main character became director of "The Study Group on Magic" school club. He needs to figure out why "magic" begins to intervene in this world. It's a normal charage with the exception of mechanism of paranormal activity used in the later part of each route. When heroine is chosen, it goes down the single road. Climax comes too suddenly after series of everyday life scenes. So it's a moege without a normal story. 17. Mist -Second Edition- MiST-second edition- [020726] Regrips Main character goes out on a trip with his five friends during summer vacations. In this picturesque mountain landscape he gets to know many secrets about his friends. System is poor. There are three heroines with individual routes, but only main heroine route is somewhat impressive. 18. Musume Sanjou!! Doubutsuen. 娘³動物園～むすめさんじょう！！どうぶつえん。～ [020726] Panda House Main character loses parents, but inherits a zoo after them. Soon he finds three cradles with girls on his doorstep. Girls grow up and help around the zoo even under constant danger of its closure. Mostly a comedy with some incest vibe ("father" in H events). 19. PRIMO ~Amore e l'ordine di arrivo?~ PRIMO ~Amore e l'ordine di arrivo?~ [020726] Active 1 Takuma Hasebe is really unlucky! He loses his parents in an accident and his grandparents end up taking care of him. This might be a common tragic story, but it's not over yet! Even worse, his grandparents pass away! Fortunately, his lawyer informs him that a really nice person wants to adopt him. Of course, he takes up the offer. His new guardian is Grandma Machiyo. He enters Kuregashi School and finds out that Grandma Machiyo is a director at the school! One day, he asks her, "Why did you adopt me?" but she just says, "Don't worry." Full of anxiety, he ends up being the manager of the school. The job sucks; he's just a janitor! His busy schedule of school life and managing the school begins... There are three months to trigger all kinds of events as a classmate and as a janitor. Game's very short. There are large chunks of text common for multiple heroines. Only couple heartwarming heroines save the game to some extent. 20. Senkou Yuugeki Oukatai Yuri ~Denshi no Seirei-tachi~ 先攻遊撃桜花隊・YURI～電子の聖霊たち～ [020726] Ape & Frog Continent is a battlefield between states. Alliance Forces defeat Imperial forces in decisive battle. Imperial army girl trained in secret arts becomes the last trump card for disjointed forces. Training SIM, strategy, rpg-like growth and probably more. Story is attractive to some extent, but still weak. Rough system and bugs deteriorate the impression. 21. Sultan ~The Lovesong is Forever~ [020726] light 1 In a semi-fantasy world set in a sort of medieval time; our protagonist grew with his siblings and friends after their parents died. After many years surviving on the streets, they are met by a couple of people of soldiers who take them straight to the king. The king, upon reviewing them, tells our hero that he’ll be next in line to succeed the throne! It turns out the hero is the old man’s lost grandchild. Now the royal court is either up in arms about the new prince or frantically trying to find him a suitable candidate to be the future princess. Who of the lovely ladies will be chosen by you--or will you pick his childhood friend? Good dialogues, but scenario is just ordinary court romance without originality. Since it's a charage, some girls are just better than the others. 22. Sumeragi no Miko-tachi すめらぎの巫女たち [020726] D.O. 1 Tokyo, year 35 Taisho era. The organisation "Fuuma", established to maintain peace in the mortal realm, becomes aware of an aberration borne into the world. The evil god who once led a great army into battle with the holy gods but was thought to be defeated has revived once again. The identity of the reincarnated evil god's vessel is... The protagonist Kitagawa Daisuke, an otherwise ordinary young man is abducted by a beautiful girl Kuroba Saya who then has sexual intercourse with him, which awakens Daisuke regarding his status as the evil god's incarnation as well as his abilities. Saya pleads with the awakened Daisuke to join her in crushing Fuuma, the holy god's shock troops. Now the millennia-old battle between light and darkness is about to reach a decisive conclusion 7 episodes with 5 being common route and the rest branching off to "god", "human" and "truth" routes. RPG part is unbalanced. Sumeragi looks up to Sakura Wars, but manages to create a thrilling story that's highly recommended for RPG enthusiasts. 23. Unicchi! ~Weenie Witches~ うにっち！ ～Weenie Witches～ [020726] Tactics Fokrim Magic Academy studies magic for over 100 years. One spring day President Rivade-Fokrim dies, and lots of teachers and students leave academy afterwards. Only director's widow and three poor female students stay. Protagonist becomes teacher for these girls. Raising SIM with the period of one year. How come this genre is not dead yet... 24. Viper-RSR Viper-RSR [020731] Sogna A game that blends old school dungeon crawling along with animated cutscenes. It is a dark age in the kingdom of Alitalia. Monsters ransack cities, slaughtering the men and taking the women as their slaves. Four adventurers set out to end the rampages... For me and many others this game is the last farewell of the ancient era of visual novels. The highest Sogna masterpiece still makes breath stop in awe. I can't miss such opportunity to say farewell to the legend with a gratitude review. BLOCKED 1. Natsu no Hi no Resonance 夏の日のレザナンス [020701] Kagura Saitoh 1 A delicate tale of coming-of-age, with cell phones, and friends in far-off places, and the first blush of unrequited love ... Doujin 2.

Just taking VNDB first character reading takes me astray in at least 50% of the time. Google search finds it at completely different sound category. Also doujin circles belong to different than usual sounds.

I never understood the principle sagaoz.net uses to sort the titles, but googling "XXX sagaoz.net" always did the trick for me. I hope to see a video about egono.com one day as it's the site that completely changed my visual novel experience. I dare to say it's more important than vndb and EGS altogether and in dare need of popularizing as such.

I'm not the target audience since I'm moving in a too crazy tempo with reading atm to dissect separate sentences, but I really cherish for this undertaking. I already see increased interest towards untranslated visual novels thanks to videos like this one.

Foreword: I was wondering what FC experimental branch (Dreamsoft) was capable of. Synopsis is quite fantasy-ish and girls with katana are featured, so I'm sold here. Title: Asa no Konai Yoru ni Dakarete -Eternal Night- Developer: DreamSoft Date: 2002-06-28 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v1205 Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooV-q4jSD9A&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv-k2sH-Gg8wOnLUF96lDXAB Synopsis: Main character dates his childhood friend. Days pass happily till a deformed body appears from the "gate of the other world" and kills childhood friend. Protagonists makes a contract with the evil god to revive her, but it's only beginning of the battle that approaches. Will night ever end? Structure: 5 chapters Length: 10 hours Game type: Fantasy adventurer story Difficulty: Very easy, branches are either dead ends or entrances to routes. Character Design rating: 6/10 Protagonist rating: 5/10 Story rating: 4/10 Game quality: 9/10 Overall rating: 6/10 I like honest games where cover and synopsis generally tell me what to expect from the game. But Eternal night is not such a game. Cover shows a girl with katana, and synopsis prepares us for battle with demons. So, what's this game actually about? First of all, it's not about battles in any way. I gathered here all CG of characters with weapons. The only action scene of every chapter is at the end and takes roughly a minute. Katana is featured for the most time at the very beginning when young Misora sits in the warehouse hugging katana and not knowing what to do. That's your battle scenes. So it must be a game about mystics and mythology? Not really, very few monsters ever show up, usually during the same battle scenes. The demon who kills Misora and who revives Misora upon establishing pact with Tatsuto is the VERY SAME demon. So there's same amount of mystics as of battles. Oh, then it must be charage! There are four nice heroines in here! Not really. There's osanajimi main heroine Misara, absolute pervert who adores bullying Tamaki, mysterious weirdo librarian with supposedly magical powers Miyako and free-spirit experienced and lustful teacher Patricia. There are basically only one and a half normal characters to even start with! So what's this game? Freaking nukige. First signs of it I noticed at getchu page. Non-nukige titles almost always have non-HCG on the game page, but this game did not. Masochist pervert as one of heroines kind of strengthened this idea. But final fifth chapter put all dots at the right places. Demon totally absorbs protagonist's personality and he just insults everyone everywhere for as long as he wants. What makes him come to senses in happy ending? Freaking deus ex machina. It just happens, what kind of explanations do you expect? But I should not focus on negative sides only. Game has high production values, and I noticed it in game quality score. Lips are synched, CG are mostly beautiful, and there's a huge use of special effects, including some animated ones. Auto-reading is called "drama mode" not just because it's a cool name. The whole game is based on dialogues. And only Tatsuto is not voiced when he is the protagonist. I say "when", because a lot of scenes are seen from different than Tatsuto perspectives. Let's touch game concept even if it's a bit late for that after all the conclusions have been made. There are five chapters with first four chapters focusing on each of four heroines. And nothing that happens during those chapters actually means anything, because at the end of those chapters gates open and we move forward. Intro ends with the same door opening. And fifth chapter basically starts with it. So why not just watch intro and then fifth chapter if nothing else matters? Oh, then we'd miss H events with each of the heroines, right. I can't call "Eternal night" a bad game. It just deceived my expectations and failed to produce any significant story development. I hoped to see some scenario-centered narration, but I received something that's two grades worse than I expected - a nukige.

There are no masterpieces this month AGAIN. I hate D.C. ~Da Capo~ series so much that I'd literally prefer any game over those. It's time to pay credits to Purple Software and nominate Kanade as game of the month. For some reason I picked Asa no Konai Yoru ni Dakarete -Eternal Night- for review. Why? Oh, Why? 1. PINK PANZER [020607] Liar-soft After decades of anarchy and dark times humanity regains its nation and civilization, but science, technology and cultural maturity return to basic levels. It's 50 years after the start of the "New World history", but Japan still has war with "Continental Union". Situation reaches stalemate after two years of active action, and only technological innovation can cause a breakthrough. Main character is appointed as platoon leader of the new weapons experimental unit. The subordinates are five amateur soldiers who are all women. The mission is to spread the new weapons technology with province regions, oppose guerilla forces and get the real picture of the battlefield spots. Protagonist has unlimited authority over his team, and it's up to him whether he brings up soldiers in spartan conditions or harasses his subordinates to satisfy own desires. Scenario is quite fun in Liar-Soft way with multiple gags and serious moments, but bugs and horrible combat and strategy realization - it's basically a card game with parameters. Game idea remains unclear till the end, and the ending is forced. 2. Utakana うたかな [020607] Prima Main character meets an unusual student who introduces herself as an angel. After a while strange incidents involving girls start to happen at school. Then the angel girl comes to class as transfer student and joins the investigation. What's happening in this school... It's a dark occult story. But protagonist awakens as spirit master and, to tell the truth, he becomes kinda OP. Period is relatively short, so it's surprising to see girls fall in love this fast. One playthrough is just 4 hours. There is cosplay and 3 H scenes for each heroine. 3. Yuki no Hana 雪の華 [020607] Raptor 1 During the sixteenth century, Japan is experiencing civil war. Even worse, monsters attack the Shimizu castle, where Seishiro Tachibana, a low ranking samurai warrior, serves. After barely escaping from one of these fiends, he hears that the princess of the castle, Natsu, has had a curse placed upon her. She is to become a sacrifice for reviving other monsters. Seishiro sets out on a journey to find a way to remove the princess's curse. During his trek, he encounters girls who help him find clues. He'll meet up with Shion, Rindou, and Kikumo. They learn that the ultimate monster, "Azami," is looting the entire country, in search for sacrifices to revive his fiendish clan. The powerful daimyo "Tobusa" rises against the monsters to end the sacrifices causing all this turmoil. Natsu has only two months to live. With the help of his comrades, will Seishiro be able to remove the curse and save her? It's actually a story of fight against youkai with maximum of 4x4. Balance is ridiculous and luck-dependent, and losing main character is game over. There are four heroines and all bear flowers names. Story is orthodox and sober. 4. Bistro Cupid ビストロ・きゅーぴっと [020613] Success The player takes control of a bistro in the Cinnamon Kingdom. During his job, he'll meet several girls. Just some generic crappy SIM to fill the spot of the first XBOX visual novel. 5. Ama Tsumugu Norito 天紡ぐ祝詞 [020614] Hooksoft People and gods live alongside each other, but gods start to lose their meaning. God hunters show up to destroy old gods. Main character is born in such family and continues god hunting tradition even though the reason for it is drowned in time. One encounter with a girl makes him doubt his ideals. Game is about main character questioning his society ideals and looking for answers independently by leaving the community. The scale of the story is limited to one usual person hesitations. The setting turns out to be much grander than realization, so game lacks impact. 6. Machine Maiden Next マシンメイデン・ネクスト [020621] Evolution Development Company "Spiritual Enterprises". Many android models have been created here, but research and development costs have risen enormously to go on on one's own. In such circumstances company receives a request from the military to produce battle robots. If you had any doubts, military models are same good in sex as social models, so it's another pointless SIM-related development to beat around the same bush. 7. Yuibashi 結い橋 [020621] Windmill A small town that has a legend about "angel coming down to this land" which serves as tourist attraction. This town is notorious for its stable climate. There is a festival here that happens once every 12 years. But as preparations get busy suddenly snow falls even though it is summer season. This year festival must be special... Game takes place during the festival days. Twin sisters story is quite touching, but two remaining heroines stories are short and unimpressive. 8. Triangle Again トライアングル・アゲイン [020627] Kiki Co., Ltd. 1 Triangle Again games are often referred to as music adventures rather than typical visual novels in a way that when the branching in the story occurs, choices are presented in a way of notes rather than text. The game story is centered around young Akari Tateshina and her debut as a pop singer. Some shoujo story, out of my league. 9. Asa no Konai Yoru ni Dakarete -Eternal Night- 朝の来ない夜に抱かれて -ETERNAL NIGHT- [020628] DreamSoft Main character dates his childhood friend. Days pass happily till a deformed body appears from the "gate of the other world" and kills childhood friend. Protagonists makes a contract with the evil god to revive her, but it's only beginning of the battle that approaches. Will night ever end? Game follows anime pattern presenting five episodes each starting with an opening. First four episodes are individual stories linked with the fifth episode. Thanks to this composition, intrigue persists till the end. Overall game feels short. 10. Brave Hearts ~Yuusha no Tamago-tachi~ Brave Hearts～勇者の卵たち～ [020628] Asobell Main character enjoyed his life as second royal prince in a small country, but devil's assault changed everything. Protagonist lost his whole family and avenged them in battle with demon king. Since then he lives in solitude in a remote forest. One day his former companion persistently invites protagonist to become teacher in his adventurers school. We bring up girls as heroes in multiple disciplines, and make them participate in RPG-like battles. But weekends are free for chasing and dating girls. Boring stuff. 11. D.C. ~Da Capo~ D.C.～ダ・カーポ～ [020628] Circus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The game is centered around the protagonist, Asakura Jun'ichi, who lives on a fictional japanese island named Hatsunejima peacefully attending the local Kazami Academy. His childhood friend and cousin, Yoshino Sakura, returns to the island Hatsunejima after moving to America several years ago. Most of the main stories revolve around the magical unwilting sakura tree, it's powers and mystical connection to the main characters. Game is localized and has many reviews. 12. I-Doll [020628] Image Craft Main character joins an idol producer company to realize his old dream to make his childhood friend an idol. However, that childhood friend dies in an accident. He promises himself to realize some other girl's dream of becoming an idol instead. Game widely uses animation and for this reason does not have CG gallery, just as Viper games. Game is surprisingly long and includes both good and bad endings. There are three main heroines and several side-heroines. 13. Innocent Hearts -Hitotsu ni Naritai- innocent hearts －ひとつになりたい－ [020628] Aquarium Unknown sealed letter arrives. It only contains a travel ticket for one person with the destination being the place protagonist's only childhood friend went out for a trip. A rural town visited only once. What's the truth about this invitation? Game does not have impressions, but according to opening it's just a rural love story with strong ties to traditional culture like kimono, festivals etc. Aquarium presents "unique" in its ugliness character design, as always. 14. Kanade 奏 ～カナデ～ [020628] Purple Software 1 Yukiya Tanigawa was born with a weak constitution, and his doctors said he wouldn't reach his twentieth birthday. After his parents died in a traffic accident, his relatives thought of him only as a burden and became estranged to him. Only his cousin Kanae Mizumura and her father stayed to support him. When Yukiya reached his 10th birthday, his condition started to change, and within a year, he was able to walk outside the hospital room. He was sent to "Kisaragi Hospital" to undergo rehabilitation. With a new doctor, Masami Kisaragi, and a new nurse, Haruka Fujisawa, he begins his ordeal. Kazumi is Masami's little sister and Yukiya's classmate. She really helps him out a lot. With the support of these people, Yukiya gradually becomes healthy. It's spring now, and he bids farewell to his long hospital life and sets out for college. He wishes he could help someone now... Heroines routes open one by one, and only the last one is really fun. The main attraction point here is characters and dialogues. A decent charage in a while. 15. Lost Passage [020628] Deep Blue Kyoto, the ancient capital. A heavily traditional Japanese city separed from modern society. Akira Misaki, the hero, is a fourth year university student who is homecoming for teaching practice. In his old town he meets many familiar faces. After some meeting and reunion with girls from his past, a big story begins to move, quietly ....... Work is prominent for a kind touch to Japanese history and mythology. Game resembles Campus the most. Overall scenario does not feel complete even though it has unique appeal. Just don't expect "education practice adventure" as box suggests, only two routes have this theme. 16. Milkyway 2 [020628] Witch Three years have passed. Main character falls in love with a girl who happens to be a clerk in coffee shop "Milkyway". He gets chosen out of 1200 competitors as the first male part-time worker here. Game progress is very much similar to the prequel. If you liked the prequel, will like this one as well. 17. Shinkirou 心輝桜 [020628] Carriere 1 A sleepy little town in a remote corner of Japan is actually the front for a secret society devoted to the protection of a Sacred Tree capable of granting wishes to special people. The male protagonist, Yuuya Furusaka, is a member of this group but, although blessed by the Tree with a healing power, the side effect of this gift only worsened the suffering that plagued most of his life. But maybe even Yuuya can hope for lifelong solace and love by sharing his hidden torment with another distressed soul, if his own power doesn't destroy him first.... Setting is unique enough. Each of three main heroines has completely different route. Main character is a donkan here. Common route takes 3 episodes out of 8. A light work with cooperation as one of main themes. 18. Sore wa Maichiru Sakura no Youni それは舞い散る桜のように [020628] BasiL 1 Maito came back to his hometown and started living alone one year ago. He had spent his childhood there and was back for the first time in several years. He enjoyed his school life with his friends and the story starts when his new school year begins.... He will get to know something, lose something, and find something.... Game is famous for gags, but reaction to its humor can be different from person to person. Game's good at showing its best size to appeal to big number of players. However, heroines routes development is almost the same. Not sure modern player would be able to enjoy such kind of game same as in 2002. 19. Spiritual Bind ~Rakuen no Gen'ei~ Spiritual Bind～楽園の幻影～ [020628] Tryset Main character investigates old school building with his friend to find the source of "curse mail". He is joined by some other students who want to find lost dog. Together they encounter paranormal activity that they need to oppose somehow, and strangers help them to overcome the danger. However, on the way back from building they get engulfed in darkness and appear in another world inhabited by hostile demons. Some kind of board game with card battles. It's usually possible to either escape the trap or defeat boss in it. 20. Trouble Captor! とらかぷっ！ [020628] Pulltop Yomoyama town is an old spa town and has been developed recently. There is a traditional festival called "Yomoyama Dai Taisai" taken place once every sixty years. However, this festival has another aspect called "Kuro Harai", it is said that the God comes to smash monsters called "Kuro". The protagonist has just moved to this town and he is chosen to play a role of God's partner at the festival. He doesn't know what is happening but is forced to take part in the festival... AVG with "easy SIM" part. In fact it's easy only when you get to understand it already. Before that it's hella confusing - it's fighting battles on bigger and bigger maps with more and more enemies. First half is a comedy while latter half is serious. 21. Yu-u-e-n-chi ゆ・う・え・ん・ち [020628] Custom Software 1 2 3 4 In Amusement Park you play as the main character who is left to manage an amusement park after the late owner had passed away. The amusement park is unprofitable, and its your job along with a workforce consisting of highly motivated girls to bring the park, “Fantasy Gardens” back to its former glory. Game is localized and has English reviews. BLOCKED 1. Haitoku 背徳 [020607] rúf 1 2 3 Koichi lost his mother as an infant, and his father remarried a woman with three daughters: Misaki, Haruka, and Ayano. Unfortunately, Koichi's stepmother is killed in a traffic accident, and because of his job, his father is constantly on the road.

With nothing to lose, Koichi decides to train his sisters as sex slaves. Now, their summer vacation turns into a sexual training camp. Who is threatening them? What does the person want? What will happen to this family? Under the theme of 'immorality,' witness our hero raping his sisters. By raising parameters, such as 'affection,' 'sexual feelings,' and 'immorality,' the varieties of sexual training will increase dramatically. Nukige 2. Maids in Dream [020607] Lune featuring D A young man wakes up in an unfamiliar room. He has no memory about anything and can’t even remember his own name. When he first wakes up there are six maids waiting and worrying about him because he is their new master. One of them tells him his name is Akio. He then learns that he is in a special mansion and will be able to leave only after he manages to resolve his personal issues. The maids are supposed to help him do so, however with no memory he has no idea what personal “issues” he needs to resolve… Nukige 3.

From this day he decides to make many memories with someone. Once he gets in peculiar encounter and starts to wonder which girl participated in it. Doujin 4. Triangle Heart Gaiden とらいあんぐるハート 外伝 [020614] Ivory Contains three mini-scenarios Anthology Fandisc 5. ERO Ragnarok Offline ERO Ragnarok Offline [020616] PERCEPTRON Mini AVG containing girls of different professions in horny situations. Nukige 6. Tsuki no Sabaki 月ノ裁 [020616] PsG System Laboratory A parody game using the characters from Tsukihime to tell a courtroom drama story in the style of Gyakuten Saiban. Most of the background is used only loosely, and no supernatural elements are involved at all. Doujin Fandisc 7.

The goal of the game is to create a relationship with one of the ten males that are available to you, so that on the last day of your high school, you will receive his confession of love at the chapel in the school. Otome 8. Chijoku Kaigishitsu ~Onna Buchou ga Chi ni Ochiru Toki~ 恥辱会議室 ～女部長が地に堕ちる時～ [020621] Chiffon Main character is a security company employee. One day he notices that his female director has exhibitionist habits. From this day work becomes more fun. Nukige 9. Chijoku Shinsatsushitsu 恥辱診察室 [020621] Atelier Kaguya Dr. Shinji Ishida is a doctor working at a hospital on the brink of ruin. People have heard that this doctor has brought many hospitals back from financial ruin, however his methods are what you might say "unorthodox". After his sessions the patients can't seem to get enough of being treated by him which naturally causes the hospital to be full of money again. Nukige 10. Immoral Sister Reo Immoral Sister玲緒 [020621] Tristar Main character is an extremely self-centered narcissist and a lewd guy who considers himself "God's guardian deity". He has a habit of using "ultimate means of loving women". There's been rumor of a bewitching woman lately. Such evil should not remain unpunished. Nukige 11.

This game has no big own story. Simply challenge one girl after the other and enjoy the graphics as well as their voice-acted embarrassment. The game offers two modes of playing: 1.) VS-MODE, that lets you each time challenge only one out of ten girls and play against her a one-on-one-mahjong with japanese rules. In addition to that, this game offers also a system of "magical (or rather medical)" items that could be bought at the beginning of each challenge. Those items could been used in game as "magic attacks", that modify the coincidental factors of the game to the players advantage. 2.) TRIAL MODE, that lets you select three out of twelve girls for a regular 4-players mahjong with japanese rules. By beating all 10 girls in the VS MODE, the TRIAL MODE becomes unlocked. Card game 16.

Foreword: Voiced protagonist has become deciding factor to choose Fearless] over Shitai o Arau. Fearless] also is a mystery to me structure-wise and story-wise. Title: Fearless] Developer: Active Date: 2002-05-10 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v2360 Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsCMKS_aJ5M&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv8rKP5oDa1nzt0KevjFrmhw&index=22&t=0s Synopsis: Azumi Shizuhara is an orphaned student attending Rakuryo Gakuin. One rainy night, he finds a girl in the rain, soaked to the skin. The girl has scratches all over her body and blankly stares out at nothing. Azumi tries to ignore her, but suddenly realizes from the girl's uniform that she attends his school. He simply tells the girl to call police with her cell phone and leaves... Later, this girl, Yuzu Sakurai, pleads with Azumi to help her search for her lost brother. Azumi turns her down once, but he finally agrees because Yuzu resembles his cousin, Nanao. The search for Yuzu's brother begins. With the help of Sayoko, their search seems to be going fine until Azumi begins to feel the presence of someone else... The story progresses with the mixed emotions of a girl with a lost brother and a boy who wants to protect his little sister. Structure: 10 days Length: 10 hours. Game type: School occult horror mystery Difficulty: Structure is difficult, but there aren't many choices, so it's average difficulty. Character Design rating: 6/10 Protagonist rating: 7/10 Story rating: 6/10 Game quality: 5/10 Overall rating: 6/10 Fearless] is one hell of a weird game. Let's count its distinguishing features. 1. It's imouto game in the way that two only heroines are imoutos - Nanao is yours, and the other one Yuzu is looking for her lost onii-chan. 2. It's a horror game since spontaneous horror scenes make up for the main attraction of the game, and there is Cthulhu element as monsters are really weird. 3. Main character is OP. When he asks Yuzu why she chose him - she answers that he's the only guy with fighting capabilities. She actually just listened to Nanao describing her onii-chan as the best, but protagonist is indeed one hell of a fighter - whether it comes to half a dozen of armed guards or primal beasts. 4. It's not really a game about girl appeal or about girl chasing. And that's what makes it different from other games. Nanao as imouto does not trigger any interest from her brother. And Yuzu... she's far from attracted. When she offers herself for the first time to protagonist, he's disgusted by her body engulfed in darkness. He asks himself why he is even doing it. Quite sure that H scenes can't be enjoyed in this game. 5. Structure is complex, but it all goes down to one same root that I recorded. Then it's possible to go towards trashy route with lots of insults. There are a lot of bad endings, but good ones include us with Yuzu alone, Yuzu recovering her onii-chan (not sure it's a good one though) and Nanao and Yuzu become sisters with us all a big family. But the gad endings are much more sophisticated up to the point everyone becomes sex slave or killed in lots of ways. So Fearless] is totally weird. It does not have an intriguing integrative plot or appealing characters. What it only has is imouto stuff, OP protagonist who defeats any monster from Abyss in an instant, spontaneous horror/insult scenes and endings to fill everyone's wishes. Protagonist is voiced, but he does not talk that much. Backgrounds in this game are really simple. If that all manages to produce some kind of special atmosphere for you - it may be a curious game to play. But if not - it's utter trash.

There aren't masterpieces this month. I could not decide what to review myself. But in the end Akane Maniax has enough English reviews and Shitai o Arau is of quite familiar Silky's signature to me. I decided to play Fearless] . Akane Maniax is VN of the month even though I don't consider it a masterpiece either. 1. Akane Maniax ~Nagareboshi Densetsu Gouda~ アカネマニアックス～流れ星伝説剛田～ [020501] Age 1 2 3 Jouji Gouda is a new transfer student at Hakuryo High School. On his first day of class, he fell in love at first sight for Akane Suzumiya and boldly proposed to her on the spot. The two characters conflict with each other greatly, but Jouji never gives up and would do anything to express his love towards Akane. Although his attempts to win Akane's love at first do nothing but anger Akane, he gradually starts to make an impression on her, inspiring Akane to be more honest about her own feelings. There are English reviews. 2. Fearless] [020510] Active 1 Azumi Shizuhara is an orphaned student attending Rakuryo Gakuin. One rainy night, he finds a girl in the rain, soaked to the skin. The girl has scratches all over her body and blankly stares out at nothing. Azumi tries to ignore her, but suddenly realizes from the girl's uniform that she attends his school. He simply tells the girl to call police with her cell phone and leaves... Later, this girl, Yuzu Sakurai, pleads with Azumi to help her search for her lost brother. Azumi turns her down once, but he finally agrees because Yuzu resembles his cousin, Nanao. The search for Yuzu's brother begins. With the help of Sayoko, their search seems to be going fine until Azumi begins to feel the presence of someone else... The story progresses with the mixed emotions of a girl with a lost brother and a boy who wants to protect his little sister. The synopsis is quite normal, so I should elaborate on what's wrong with it instead of just blocking. The whole brother investigation is sneaking and triggering insult situations at times. But there are a lot of unusual events encountered, including comical ones. There's a lot of mystery, and scenario is actually a strong side here. Game gets fairly high scores from the Japanese, so I'm reviewing it myself. 3. Shin Ai 神愛 ～Shin ai～ [020510] Cyc 1 Every night, the hero has a strange dream. "Help me ... Help me please ..." - says a mysterious girl on your dream. Her voice looks familiar. You think you know that voice, but can't remember. A friend gives to you an incomplete album. Somehow, the photos were removed. Looking every page in a hurry, you find three attached photos of strangers on the last page. There is a different landscape on each photo. The last one is one of a flowery desert garden, and one of a green meadow. When you picked up one gently, ... suddenly everything flashes. Stories are unfolded in two worlds. In real world, Toru falls in love with a girl, and in the other world, he protects the heroine. 'Pictures' are key items. You'll be able to enter the other world by using them. Try to collect pictures in the real world! You also have to be careful about the timing because if you miss getting a picture at the right time, you'll miss some events! In the real world, you'll up meet with four girls: 'Minori' and 'Aya,' your classmates, 'Sara,' your senior, and 'Yuri,' a younger student. In the other world, you will protect four girls: the maiden 'Minori,' 'Iris,' the fighter, 'Sara,' the religious girl, and 'Lily,' the nun. Why does Toru have to live in two different worlds? Who's the girl calling for help in his dream? Solve the mysteries by going through lots of adventures! Game is about constant travel between real world where pictures are gathered and three different worlds where events are triggered. Setting is good, but walkthrough is quite painful. Cyc is known for introducing fresh game elements each time, so it appeal to those who like experiments. 4. Akagawa Jirou Mystery: Tsuki no Hikari ~Shizumeru Kane no Satsujin~ 赤川次郎ミステリー月の光　 ～沈める鐘の殺人～ [020523] Victor Interactive Software 1 Based on the novel by Akagawa Jirou, the story puts you in a role of a high-school teacher who due to a painful breakup leaves his old workplace and comes to a far away place to start a new job at Bell Garden school. While taking a stroll, a woman's scream is heard... you run to see what is happening, and the mystery begins. You can select main character to be a man or a woman, which slightly influences the game scenario (when the player is a man, his partner will be a woman and vice-versa). Game progress advances as a mystery novel. As the case becomes obvious you will investigate and use deductive skills to find out the culprit and the motive behind the crime. During the gameplay you can visit various places and check the map of the Bell Garden school and its surroundings. During investigation and story progress, you will use a character correlation diagram to connect a certain person with the matter at hand. Also, the diagram can be used to make relations between characters (for example to mark them as lovers). Story can have more endings, depending on the player's deduction and skills to solve the case. After a solved case, if available, a new scenario will open. The third work in the series of book adaptations. Those who liked previous works would probably like this one. 5. Ethos ~Tenshi no Furu Basho~ Ethos～天使の降る場所～ [020524] Forte Main character meets a mysterious girl in strange clothes during his part-time job. She turns out to be an angel who now sheds her light to the people. So their unusual cohabitation begins. Game period is from 1 month to 2 months, and simultaneous capture is possible up to middle stages. Game is focused on the angel girl, so other routes feel redundant. 6. Hayashi Meisaku Gekijou ハヤシ迷作劇場 [020524] Hayashigumi The protagonist is a young shepherd in a certain rural village. One day, while he was feeding the lambs on his daily duties, he discovered a girl unconscious on the mountain trail and nursed her back to health. After a while, this girl, named "Lina", finally awoke. She had apparently become separated from her mother and was searching for her. The protagonist took pity on poor Lina, and let her stay at his home until she felt better... After several days, Lina decided to set out on her journey again. Feeling that he couldn't leave her alone, the protagonist decided to go with her. Will Lina be able to safely find her mother? The feature of the game is that choices determine personality of Lina, and the essence of the game in the violent Lina. There are also other characters that usually show up and disappear as single episodes. Story development is good, but ending is abrupt. H scenes are quite frequent. 7. Hissatsu! Satomi Attack! 必殺！さとみアタック！ [020524] TinkerBell In 20XX mysterious creatures "Noum" start to invade the Earth from space. These are virus-like micro-organisms that can turn into various forms depending on affected creature. Main character attends a his health teacher Natsuki dojo to compete with his childhood friend Satomi. Natsuki is the only survivor of battle with Noum that happened 10 years ago. His extraordinary skills are passed to his students who must oppose new invasion. Never expected to ever unblock a TinkerBell game, but here it is. Battles are difficult since favorite girls needs to be hit as little as possible and should possible stay close to protagonist to gain favorability. HP can only be recovered with help of one one character, so no ruthless actions are allowed. But there's very vague story - all girl choices are evident. 8. Itsuka, Dokoka de ~Ano Ameoto no Kioku~ いつか、どこかで ～あの雨音の記憶～ [020524] BeF 1 Spring of 2002. Naoto Sodeyama is an Interviewee of a research company. At the time of joining, his first job is to make a research for a travel company. His destination is the very village from where he lived and fled from, the place where something bad happened to him when he was a kid. Now is the time to go face to face with his past at that small mountain village. Bef is true to itself - character with phobia is featured, plus new elements introduced like this "Behavior selection" and "Call-out-mode" system which enables to call out characters at certain points in the game. So overall there are cases of different behavior prepared, but one playthrough becomes very short. But who would want to check out outcomes of different behavior? 9. Nursery Song [020524] Cronus 20 years ago, a boy (our hero) was sent to a hospital. While hospitalized, he met a nurse and became completely indebted to her in the short time that they were together. He then made a promise to himself to become a doctor so that he could one day work alongside her. Now our hero has just graduated, and now works at the very same hospital. However, the nurse from long ago is nowhere to be found. On the other hand, he now works alongside a trio of beautiful new nurses, as well as the surprisingly attractive senior staff. You can actively explore the hospital to pick which of the various women our hero will meet. Perhaps, within his coworkers, you'll find hints of the lost woman from his memories. Borderline game with some 60% being pure love moege and 40% nukige. Most H scenes are delusion ones. Chiharu mystery is hidden in different heroines ED, but some have nothing to do with Chiharu. 10. Konohana 2 ~Todokanai Requiem~ 此花2 〜届かないレクイエム〜 [020530] Vridge Inc. 1 2 Meguru Momoi, a second-year student at Konohana high-school returns in another murder mystery adventure. He gained status of recognition after the infamous Grim Reaper murder mystery in the original game. Everything's back to normal, or so everybody thought, until one morning on their way to school, Meguru Momoi and his partner, Miako Tachibana, arrive only to see police cordoning the area of what appears to be a murder case. Thus they end up entangled in yet another series of murders case. New bullet in the low cost series. However, cost has jumped from 2800 yen to 3800 yen while the quality remains roughly the same. Same mystery killings, same comedy in interaction. Relatively easy and short. 11. Natsuiro no Sunadokei 夏色の砂時計 [020530] Princess Soft 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The story revolves around a Japanese sophomore named Kotaro Makimura. As the school year ends and summer vacation approaches, he decides to admit his feelings to his crush, the beautiful Kaho Serizawa.

However, on his way home, he has a collision with a mysterious stranger, and ends up getting covered in a strange multi-colored powder. When he wakes up the next day, he finds himself waking up on September 1st - the first day of the next school year. He also learns that Kaho, who had been his girlfriend, had died in a car accident. Eventually, Kotaro discovers that he has begun day-dropping, in which he skips days, and goes back and forth in time through different days of the summer vacation. With the help of Ligene the Time Patroller (also translated as Lee Jane), Kotaro must win Kaho's heart and prevent her tragic death before he runs out of time. Game is localized and has lots of reviews. 12. Floralia Floralia ～フローラリア～ [020531] Xuse Our protagonist Yosuke Tachibana is a kind second year in Aohisashi Academy who likes to take care of flowers. However, his average life is turned upside down when his sister-like childhood friend Suzune Asou is appointed as a teacher in his school. What's more, she'll live in his house? Soon they'll be joined by director's daughter Maki Izumi and chemistry teacher Shino Sakurai. Will he succumb to his teachers' temptation...? Three classmates and three teachers are available for seduction. Work famous for moe eroticism. Eroticism is achieved by borderline situations and horny voicing while there aren't too many orthodox H events. It all ends in a harem route, so it fits pretty much all the modern moege stamps. 13. Genome ~Shinka no Idenshi o Sagase~ GeNOME～進化の遺伝子を探せ～ [020531] Ast Main character is the third year student of agriculture faculty. General education process ends, and it is finally time to enter the laboratory. Under guidance of the laboratory adviser he will need to repeat genetic research with partners from the same laboratory to create new life. There are 7 routes, but each contains only three events. It's enough to combine 8 pairs to trigger credits. With such length it's hardly a game, more of CG collection. 14. Shitai o Arau 肢体を洗う [020531] Silky's 1 2 ～The smell of formalin that tempts you into the world of ero～ Yasaka was a poor student who wanted to become a doctor but couldn't afford medical college. He was studying for the entrance exam next year while working part-time in a university hospital. However, he was suddenly fired from his part-time job by the vice-director, Tsuyuzaki Chigusa. He was shocked by this sudden event, so she gives him the only option he has left to continue working in the hospital. The work she prepared for him is called… “Corpse Washing”. He will learn based on real experience and mental shock at work. In normal life, it's not possible to understand what “Corpse Washing” is. It is only possible by “being thrown out of daily life, into an unusual life, and having his mental state change”. That is “Corpse Washing”. New experimental work of Silky's is based on real experience by author ... corpse washing. But the content is of horror and madness. The second half gets to do much more with the drugs and pretty much nothing with corpse washing. Dark and unusual work. 15. Trouble Busters トラブル バスターズ [020531] spiel 1 Shuichi is a new history teacher at Mitarai. The story begins as he is suddenly put in charge of the school's mystery club. The club used to be called the occult research club but was forced to downsize because of numerous scandals. Shuichi feels something is fishy about the club and regrets being called as the advisor as he starts hearing rumors. The vice principal also threatens Shuichi that if something bad happens, he must take full responsibility! Shuichi feels extremely uneasy about his career. One day, a student shows up and tells that she has a request to the club... This is a slapstick comedy of problematic students and a new teacher, who struggles to gets his normal life back. This game is an orthodox adventure game, however, the first and latter parts have completely different stories. In the first half, the player tries to get close to girls. Later on, you choose one of the girl characters and explore a story, which is tailored to each specific character. School love comedy. The main part is really funny. The girl stories are too monotonous to try other ones. H events show up suddenly which ruins atmosphere. Game is pretty much impossible to find now. 16. Univ ~Ai Omatase~ univ ～愛・おまたせっ～ [020531] Cocktail Soft Student life enters its climax period - third and fourth years of university. This is your chance to find true love! As usual, Cocktail Soft games don't bother with a synopsis presenting the very generic story that anyone can sympathize to. First work included 1st and 2nd years, this work - 3rd and 4th years. System is is typical dating SIM - stalk girls, talk to them, bring them presents etc. As usual with Cocktail Soft - game for those who likes the process, girls or CG. 17. Tears 9, 10 [0205] Team D.T.R. 1 2 Tears - "Nine, ten" is a visual novel that tells the story of a girl with nine fingers and a boy with ten fingers. A story about our lives, human rights, laws, relationships, and dreams in the face of economic imbalances. Their short but intense encounters and stories will impress you a lot. Game's released on Steam, so has abundance of reviews. BLOCKED 1. Elfeena ~Yoru e to Urareta Oukoku de...~ エルフィーナ～淫夜へと売られた王国で…～ [020503] Ail 1 Elfina lived a life of luxury as a member of the royal family. She was waited on hand and foot and had a team of servants.

This is where their adventure begins... First Anchor is a Japanese-style adventure game, without puzzles. Unlike most games of this kind, there is real time movement in a 3D environment here. However, most locations and events are displayed as still pre-rendered images. Only the sex scenes are shown as animated 3D movies. The gameplay consists of navigating your character through the ship. The choice of the next location you go to might influence the story line. Nukige 3.

Foreword: A bad-ass cover and cyberpunk setting is all that it took to interest me.

It was the biggest and worst disaster in human history, "Apoptosis Crisis." A virus called "apoptosis" begins to destroy human cells. 80% of the Earth's population is killed and the people who survive try their best to revive civilization. A century has passed, and it is now the year 2099 in Tokyo. Something is happening in this big city, where many kinds of ethnic groups reside. The network junkies, called "jugglers," suddenly die an unnatural death. The cause of death is still unclear. However, it is apparent they were all on computer networks when they died. Takuya Takahashi, who is a professional investigator, a "Runner," is asked to investigate the case, and he starts investigating this dangerous disease, without even knowing much about it? Structure: 12+1 chapters. Length: 7 hours for one route, but second route is almost the same. Game type: Cyberpunk detective mystery Difficulty: Easy, we move on if exhaust all options Character Design rating: 9/10 Protagonist rating: 10/10 Story rating: 9/10 Game quality: 10/10 Overall rating: 9/10 Rating comments: The only question for me is whether it's 9 or 10. I totally like the game, but story overall and the heroines in particular appear to me with flaws. Protagonist: Takuya is great. He has face and hard-boiled personality. At the same time, not everything is clear about his personality that happens to content quite the depth. Characters: Hitomi and Itsumi are main heroines of the game. These is also mysterious girl Sophia that exists for plot purposes. Can't say anything bad about Hitomi or Itsumi, it's just sad that the difference in their "routes" is just choice of who to H, not much character development. Story: Synopsis actually covers all I could tell. I can only hint that story tackles genetic and cyberspace a lot. I'd really like it to be more focused on actual virus and deaths, but most of the time we just hang around with girls stumbling upon important events at times, so resolution feels forced. CG: Loving CG here. Lots of motion in the interface. I especially appreciate those several animated moments used for underlining charm of the heroines, and NOT in H events. Sound: Game is called "song for all" not for nothing. There are a lot of vocal parts in here. Very enjoyable. Everyone but protagonist is voiced, and that includes all the male characters. Thoughts: The title "D.U.O. ～song for all～" contains two spoilers itself, but luckily you only get to know why late in the game, so there is that "a-ha" moment. No idea what "D.U.O" stands for, but the word "duo" already gives an important hint. I really appreciate when title gets to say so many things about the game. Overall comments: Absolutely magical game. Great direction and use of interface make an impression of a futuristic world, can't really believe game dates back to 2002. I was treating Cat's Pro quite favorably, and it's joyous for me to see Heart Heat Girls concept being reborn in such way by the successor Panda House. Game's very nice while it lasts, but it's quite gentle-minded and lacks impact, so it gets average or poor scores by the Japanese. I absolutely can't understand how the Japanese manage to bury the best representatives of the genre with their own hands.

D.U.O. ~Song for All~ is the VN of the Month Among masterpieces are One 2 ~Eien no Yakusoku~ , Suigetsu and Utawarerumono 1. Trans' ~Boku to Atashi no Kyoukaisen~ Trans’～僕とあたしの境界線～ [020404] Catear 1 Main character has to wear his lover's clothes after Christmas Eve night. Somehow he likes wearing that dress and starts to improve his makeup and clothes to become more beautiful. This way can bring him to wearing a wedding dress, a SM outfit or even become an idol. I have not invented a category to block Trans all-age games, but it does not mean I'm going to look into it because of that. 2. Ripple ~Blue Seal e Youkoso~ Ripple～ブルーシールへようこそっ～ [020405] Giga Main character looses a job and applies for an internet ad vacancy to work at a huge leisure park "Blue Seal" with multiple facilities including restaurant. There are many curious girls working around. A SIM game to raise protagonist's parameters and set dates. Combined to Giga failure as VN maker, game's a total crap. 3. Wish ~Owari Yuku Sekai de~ Wish～終わりゆく世界で～ [020405] Selfish 1 The year is 20xx... A new life form called a "Mamono" has suddenly appeared in Japan. With great sacrifice, the Japanese government finally succeeds in retrieving a part of this "Mamono." Of course, it's kept secret from the general public and all evidence is eliminated... Soon after, the government takes a few civilian scientists and begins a top-secret mission called "Project HI" (Project Human Infinity). The project's purpose is to somehow inject the unknown virus from the "Mamono," which will give the subjects super powers. The goal is to create a human that will withstand any kind of environment, which will then be used as a lethal weapon. Knowing the project might fail, the government simultaneously creates a militia known as the "Witch Hunters." Minoru Yamanashi's father was one of the scientists involved in this project. He's so crazy that he submits not only himself but also Minoru's sister Chisa to the "Project HI" experiments. Unfortunately, the experiment on Chisa fails, and she falls ill with the virus. Not having the kind of money to save his sister, he decides to join the "Witch Hunters." He ends up killing his beloved sister. Losing the will to live, he wanders aimlessly around the streets and eventually crumbles with hunger. A girl named Yukari Arisa saves him from the streets... Heroines are unique and lively. The first half is hero gradually healing his mind wounds with a touch of comedy, but in the second part there is serious development. There is only common scenario during first play. From the second play there are heroine scenarios that show up. Surprisingly well done scenario-oriented suspense adventure. 4. Koi Suru Science 恋するサイエンス [020412] Complet's 1 Hiroshi Koizumi is a student at Oshima Private School. One day, he receives an invitation to the science club from a girl named Sakura Sakura. Hiroshi's shy but falls madly in love with Sakura at first sight and visits the club, which is located on the outskirts of the school property. However, as soon as Hiroshi opens the door to the club, he loses consciousness... When he comes to, Hiroshi finds himself on an operating table. He sees a small girl holding an old book. She's trying to experiment on him! What's going to happen on him!? You will witness mysterious experiments, battles over the old book, and expectations of love in this love comedy. This game might look like a comedy... but in the end it's still a nukige with everything whirling around it. There are hardly any other advantages. 5. Maid Hunter Zero One ~Nora Maid~ メイドハンター零一～のらメイド～ [020412] Studio Jikkenshitsu 1 Reiichi Satsukido is a noncareer public employee, leading a peaceful life. One day, he is suddenly assigned to become a special national agent called 'Maid Hunter!'

However, a secret organization named 'Kampfgruppe Nora Maid' stands in his way. This organization is formed to free the Nora Maids, and they are willing to fight in order to accomplish their goals. The Special National Health Regulations are only in effect for the next thirty days. Reiichi must capture and rehabilitate four Nora Maid renegades within this time. Otherwise, he will be demoted and sent to an uninhabited island. Will he succeed in his mission and avoid spending the rest of his life on a deserted island...!? Parody is the dominating feature of this game. But there are a lot of confusing systems in this bakage, including battle system. 6. Wasurenagusa ~Forget-me-Not~ 忘レナ草～Forget-me-Not～ [020412] Unison Shift A story about a boy that is destined to die, a shinigami that is given the task of taking his soul and the people he is connected... Period is 2 weeks. During daytime we deepen relations with the chosen heroine, during night time we entertain the heroine. Period feels too small, relations develop untruthfully, with sudden climax. 7. Dennou Yousei Elfan 電脳妖精エルファン [020419] Noa 1 Elfans are cyber fairies, which live in the "Net World," which exists inside of the Internet. One day, our hero is sucked into this Net World and is forced to fight against evil monsters. With the help of Elfans, he must bring peace back to the Net World!!

The player chooses one of three Elfans as a companion: The gentle and kind Mei Nyuang The strong-minded Fairy Ann The energetic, yet sad Bloomer Rabbi These Elfans occasionally change shapes. For example, Mei Nyuang sometimes becomes the martial artist, Mei China, or the fighting nurse called Mei Nurse. You'll really enjoy bringing them up! Not only that, but you'll also meet up with more than thirty different Elfans, who have been designed by a variety of artists. What does this all mean? You will definitely find an Elfan to suit your tastes!! Befriend the Elfans and defeat the evil Net Kizer! Quite a strange bakage with battles and lolis. 8. Hanketsu 2 ~Forget Me Not~ 判決2～Forget Me Not～ [020419] Noctovision 1 The case is not over yet... A half naked woman is taken into protective custody at Jissoji Park around midnight. She has been assaulted and drugged. Her name is Tomomi Sawada, and she was participating in a 'Blue Aqua' ritual prior to the incident. Blue Aqua is a cult seminar, led by Kirara Rendaiji. It is quickly spreading among the young female population at Jissoji. There is also a rumor that Blue Aqua uses drugs in their rituals, and Tomomi's case seems to back it up. The drug is called 'Blue Seal,' a love potion that shines in blue. The town of Jissoji once suffered from a drug called 'Blue Misty,' but Blue Seal is taking over now. Yura Tojima is the man behind this case, and he tries to reach out to a young female singer, Chiaki Aikawa. Yuji Akagi is a district attorney at Jissoji. With help from his beautiful assistant Misa Sugasawa, he is about to try wiping this blue drug out of his town!! This is a sequel to the real legal adventure "Hanketsu," and more realistic court trials are depicted than ever before. The street musician from the first title, Chiaki Aikawa, is now a professional singer, but she is having problems with her career and with a band member who uses Blue Seal. Aya Shirahama is a lovely girl, who happens to know Yuji, but she often causes trouble for Yuji. Misa Sugasawa is a sharp and beautiful legal officer, who has experience in foreign legal services. Players will find many other beauties, along with many hot scenes. Get the bad guys and bring peace back to the town of Jissoji!! Of course game is better than it predecessor 4 years ago, but it does not mean it's good. Main character and realism are praiseworthy, but concept, scenario and realization aren't. 9. Nanji, Sono Muku Naru Tamashii de Yoru o Samayou Nakare 汝、その無垢なる魂で夜を彷徨うなかれ [020419] NeoUme If you walk alone on the moon night, you will meet the witch of the moon. Such city legend flows in the city of Mahoroba. Main character is a freelancer who also has part-time work at convenience store "New Life". One night he meets a witch... There are a lot of heroines including moon witch. Each of them has some kind of problem to settle. Characters here are very weak. 10. Wind -A Breath of Heart- Wind -A Breath of Heart- [020419] minori 1 2 3 4 5 6 That summer day. Makoto Okano and his younger sister Hinata sit across from each other in the box seats of a local express heading to that town, underneath a blue sky that seems to stretch out to infinity. The town they are heading to is the very one that they were born in and were separated from long ago -- Kazune City. In the midst of the midsummer wind, bathed in the wind that rushes in from the train window, they head to that town, which they only have vague memories of. "Say, let's promise to meet again." "I'll keep playing this harmonica, okay? Because even if I can't reach you, the sound of the harmonica surely will." The harmonica, which was handed over together with the promise to that girl. And within the shaking cabin of the train, Makoto wakes up, dimly but surely recalling that memory ... Game is localized and has English reviews. 11. Yuki no Tokeru koro ni... 雪のとける頃に… [020419] Studio e.go! 1 Your character, Dr. Hoshino, iis transferred from central Japan to the New Hokkaido General Hospital, where he reunites with his underclassman, Mikage Ayumi, and academy days nemesis, Shinowara Tsukasa.

In this foreign part of Japan, covered in snow and ice, what will happen to Masato and his surroundings? There is an English review. 12. Ouma Petit ☆ Kaitouden 逢魔ぷち☆怪討伝 [020424] Sakuraneko Demons are actually real. They can take human form and infiltrate human society. Main character studies at a mission-based school in Yokohama that's rumored to contain hand of a legendary demon in its basement. There are various forces trying to revive the demon. Can protagonist prevent that? School love bakage. Scenario is of not high quality, gags are rarely funny and heroines lack attractiveness. 13. My Merry May [020425] KID This VN tells the story of Kyosuke, a high school student, who lives a normal student's life in a dormitory until one day he receives a strange device from abroad. Inside the device is a female replis, an artificial human being. Kyosuke decides to awaken her, but before her personality is fully loaded, a thunderstorm briefly cuts the energy in the dormitory, creating a bug in Leu's system. Instead of his own personal servant, Kyosuke now has to take care of a teenager with a childlike mind. The remaining cast of heroines include Hitoe Haruna, Yasusuke's childhood friend, Motomi Agatsuma, the girlfriend of Kyosuke's best friend, Ryo Hagimoto, 21-year old Tae Kizuki, and her friend, 13-year old high school student Misao Yuki. Careful character depiction is the main attraction in this work. Even though it's love comedy, it's explained why and how each girl starts to love protagonist. 14. Shine ~Kotoba o Tsumuide~ SHINE～言葉を紡いで～ [020425] Vridge Inc. 1 2 3 One day, the protagonist decided to chase after the dream of becoming a cameraman. To become the student of his famous upperclassman (senpai) cameraman in his university, he headed towards an island in Okinawa area where his upperclassman cameraman lived. On the way to the island, the protagonist met his senpai luckily and was given a very hard assignment to complete. If he complete the assignment, then he could become his senpai's student. That assignment is taking a picture of all SIX girls who he met on the ship by chance. And for some reasons, all SIX girls hate camera. But, there is nothing he can do about it because if he doesn't take their photos, his road to become a cameraman is closed. With that, the protagonist met and parted with those girls repeatedly at the island. And with each of them, conversations are being spinned into stories. There is enough English information. 15. Azrael アズラエル [020426] Frontwing 1 After being saved by the god of death, our hero becomes a messenger of death for girls who are destined to die. Working as a messenger, he has to go through a lot of heart-rending experiences and anguish. Most of us enjoy our lives and don't think about death until something happens to us. Through this game, you'll realize that death is always just a step away... The best scenario out of three 426 works, but it suffers from the lack of volume, so it's difficult to empathize with characters that weren't given enough screen time. There are several endings. Game was sold for just 1/3 of normal price. 16. D.U.O. ~Song for All~ [020426] Panda House 1 It happened on December 25, 2001, right after the new century began. It was the biggest and worst disaster in human history, "Apoptosis Crisis." A virus called "apoptosis" begins to destroy human cells. 80% of the Earth's population is killed and the people who survive try their best to revive civilization. A century has passed, and it is now the year 2099 in Tokyo. Something is happening in this big city, where many kinds of ethnic groups reside. The network junkies, called "jugglers," suddenly die an unnatural death. The cause of death is still unclear. However, it is apparent they were all on computer networks when they died. Takuya Takahashi, who is a professional investigator, a "Runner," is asked to investigate the case, and he starts investigating this dangerous disease, without even knowing much about it? Looks like my type of game. I'll review it myself. 17. Happy Breeding はっぴ～ぶり～でぃんぐ [020426] Purple Software 1 Our protagonist (Takashi) has taken the opportunity of working away from his parents home and started living by himself. One day, a strange girl enters his house and eventually comes to stay with him since the house is too big for one person to live in. The girl seems to be searching the person who tended an injury of hers when she was a child, and the protagonist offers his help. New girls gradually show up and starts living in the protagonist's house, each with their own purpose that he will try to help them fulfill. Nice heartwarming story, but short - 5 hours is enough to clear. Only one heroine route is special, all the others are unnoticeable. 18. Kin no Hitomi x Gin no Hitomi 金の瞳＊銀の瞳 [020426] Uncanny! 1 The latest title from UNCANNY! This is a fantasy adventure game, where the stage is set in a world of swords and magic.

Going through many things, such as the training to survive and encounters with various heroines, a player will become strong and learn about love. Will you choose to pursue physical strength, or will you choose to go after girls? It's all up to you! Self-training SIM with parameters. Period is 8 weeks. Every 1st and 7th day of the week there is event and every 4th day there is combat. The overall difficulty is low. 19. One 2 ~Eien no Yakusoku~ ONE2～永遠の約束～ [020426] BaseSon I was away from home during the summer vacation, when I returned I found out that my father has moved away. No one in the school knew my name, not even my classmates. I started my new life like that. I never expected those things, to miss the everyday life, going to school... and to love... BaseSon had a difficult task to make a remake worthy of famous original, and they actually succeeded at it. There are 5 + 1 secret heroine routes, and each route has something to do with vanishing or loosing. The whole concept of eternal world is focused too much here and there are questions about length, but it's definitely a masterpiece as a pure love game with a good scenario. 20. Sekai no Subete 世界ノ全テ [020426] Tama-Soft 1 Hiroshi returned to his hometown after 8 years in Tokyo trying to attain his childhood dream and failing to do so. Feeling powerless and lacking support from his family, he could only think about giving up. He felt that a poor student like him was unneeded and there was no longer any place for him. That was before he met Tomoko at the light music club and realized that he was not the only one in the same situation. Main features of this work is depressed protagonist, kansai dialect girls and great music. There are many heroines, but only Tomoko route is deep enough. 21. Suigetsu 水月 -すいげつ- [020426] F&C FC01 1 2 On a summer afternoon, I woke up in a hospital bed without any recollection of the past. I was suffering from severe amnesia, and the ones who saved me as I trembled with doubt and fear through the night were my friends and my maid, Yuki. Through their kindness, my life began once again. A new life filled with joy and happiness. However, the nightmare that haunted me ever since I woke up that day continued to torment me. In my dreams was a woman with pure white skin and black hair so lustrous it seemed to fade into the dark night. And within a few weeks, on the night of the Star Festival, I would meet this beautiful girl. Makino Nanami... The girl whom I killed with my arrow each and every night ... There are English reviews. 22. Sweet Legacy スイートレガシー [020426] Frontwing 1 Satou Mamoru has always dreamt of becoming a famous patissier. However, the famous school he wanted to enter in... is actually an all-girls school! Mamoru will have to disguise himself as a girl in order to enter and starts meeting some interesting girls. Game's short and of relatively low quality, that's why it's sold several times lower than normal price. Still as a charage or a game about shemale it's quite good. 23. Utawarerumono うたわれるもの [020426] Leaf 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Hakuoro, a man who wakes up in a tiny backwoods village near the mountains with heavy injuries, no memory, and a mask he cannot remove.

But when an oppressive ruler threatens the peaceful life of Hakuoro and his newfound friends and family, they find themselves hurtled towards war, chaos, and a destiny far greater than any of them imagined.

You try to wake her up, but she tells you, "I love your blanket. Every time I wake up, I can see you." Miyuri tells you this and blushes. Then you have dinner together and watch T.V. Well, this is what you guys go through on a normal, routine basis. What kind of relationship will this turn into? Since this is an 18 and over game, it's obvious where it's heading, if you get my hint... Nukige 6.

Nonetheless, Seishirou is not one to avoid danger, and the same individuals who would dare remove him from power, could easily serve as tools to cement it… but only if the opportunity is seized.

Foreword: Girl with a gun and concept similar to EVE from FlyingShine - that's a curious thing to investigate provided that only a year later the same brand will create Cross Channel! Title: Donor - Onna Tantei Ryoujoku Developer: FlyingShine Date: 2002-03-08 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v6542 Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlZTV0b7nLY&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv-uWqueJwenXF1BJZOgphqE Synopsis: Futaba Kawana is an attractive American detective, who recently uncovered the whereabouts of her sister, who disappeared in Japan some few years ago. Once she arrives to Japan, Futaba hurries to the hospital where her sister was last seen. The hospital is one of the best hospitals in Japan, but many strange rumors are floating around. People have seen dead people coming back alive, lost people found, and so on. As our heroine searches for clues, she finds out that the hospital is actually a huge whorehouse controlled by some organization. To find out about the organization, our heroine becomes a nurse at the hospital, but... This game runs on a system called, "The Buddy System." This means that there are multiple characters and multiple scenarios, where each character has it's own story. In order to understand the complete story, you have to go through each character's story. Besides our heroine, you will meet Chiya, Aya, Shihomi, and Mio. Take out your sexual desires on these beautiful but strong girls. Structure: None Length: 32 hours Game type: Futuristic erotic detective mystery Difficulty: Kinetic novel Character Design rating: 2/10 Protagonist rating: 2/10 Story rating: 6/10 Game quality: 1/10 Overall rating: 4/10 Game got only two votes on VNDB - that's 2 and 4, but that's probably some haters or trolls, right? Or perhaps they were disappointed by H scenes - but we're here for the story, so we move on. The start up to the opening is usually the most lively part of any visual novel, but it was not that much lively for DoNoR. It was mostly dialogues with just couple of CG with people, the other CG were blurry zoomed in versions of real time photos of some objects like door bulb or telephone. Then happened pretty cool opening featuring as many as four different people armed with guns. But then I understood that the biginning WAS the most lively part in DoNoR as well. What awaited me next is over 10 hours of watching horrible blurry CG of real life photos, walls of NVL text and and almost total absence of dialogues. It's been four years since FlyingShine first amateur attempts of Sadistic medicine and Revolver, but not that much has changed since then! It's same blurry real life photos, same NVL, same absence of sprites and CG with people. Hell, even HCG look exactly the same - disgusting and from the same angle in order to take as much screen space with body parts as possible. What's only changed is engine that can actually run on modern OS, rare non-HCG with people and introduction of "Auto pilot" reading mode. And even that they managed to screw - at the lowest speed auto reading is too fast and absolutely not comfortable for the absence of delays between the lines. But let's drop these technical issues and enjoy the fabulous plot... yet we can't do that. The "Buddy system" makes the story jump to and fro between a lot of people without showing them on the screen or giving their names or at least anything to identify them apart of rare female voicing and location and time announcements. I don't really know how to rate the story. For 10 hours pretty much nothing happened, then couple hours of constant gunfire with very random H evens inserted here and there. Game provides a lot of cool CG, but they have very little to do with reality as 99% of the time you see only some hyper-zoomed blurry CG of rendered object from reality, and that's a very depressing sight. Gunfire keeps ringing, and you only see the corner of some table or just one of car lights. Story is absolutely kinetic, so no interactivity is prepared as well. In couple words, DoNoR is an organization that is involved in illegal transportation of organs and genetic studies. And most of the game is about the detective agency conflict with DoNoR organization forces shown from the sides of different detective agency members. But when the painful 12 hour narration finally ended... it turned out that there are two more same length episodes. The first episode only covers only mostly Shoichi story, and that story features a variety of female partners. The second episode focuses on female detective Futaba, and that's the route full of insult scenes of Futaba and earlier kidnapped girl. The third final episode features only a Tower, and that's a bit shorter route that has just one H scene and that puts all the points of views together and presents the culmination and the end of the story. As a short summary, game looks really bad not because of H scenes, but because of direction, pacing and graphic aspects, as well as poor systems. It's very painful to read and follow due to the mess that's set on the screen. It manages to ruin all the benefits of visual novel as medium and provides a "B" rate book novel with rare voiced lines instead. Oh, yeah... the theme of guns is really well covered in here. And that passion is really stunning. If only blurred images did not make my eyes peel off...

Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer and Subete ga F ni Naru ~The Perfect Insider~ are masterpieces, but only the former is the winner. I'll be reviewing Donor - Onna Tantei Ryoujoku 1. Sister Angel しすたぁエンジェル [020301] TerraLunar Main character loses his memory in an accident. After being discharged from the hospital, he starts to live with his self-proclaimed sister. Hero regains his memory while in contact with her. And at some point the feelings of the two go beyond the scope of the brother and sister. However, their peaceful life gets interrupted when a girl from the rich family and a Maid Robo girl move in... A very funny comedy. Routes with all four heroines move in a light fantasy way. There are four heroines and six endings. There is not much seriousness in the game. A must have in sister lover collection and a worthy candidate if you like comedy. 2. Donor - Onna Tantei Ryoujoku DoNoR 女探偵凌辱 [020308] FlyingShine 1 Futaba Kawana is an attractive American detective, who recently uncovered the whereabouts of her sister, who disappeared in Japan some few years ago. Once she arrives to Japan, Futaba hurries to the hospital where her sister was last seen. The hospital is one of the best hospitals in Japan, but many strange rumors are floating around. People have seen dead people coming back alive, lost people found, and so on. As our heroine searches for clues, she finds out that the hospital is actually a huge whorehouse controlled by some organization. To find out about the organization, our heroine becomes a nurse at the hospital, but... This game runs on a system called, "The Buddy System." This means that there are multiple characters and multiple scenarios, where each character has it's own story. In order to understand the complete story, you have to go through each character's story. Besides our heroine, you will meet Chiya, Aya, Shihomi, and Mio. Take out your sexual desires on these beautiful but strong girls. I know it's an early FlyingShine game about insults, but it's woman with a gun! That rule can not be easily overlooked, so I'm reviewing it myself (party because it's EVE like world and system) 3. Sakura no Ki Shita de 桜の木下で [020308] Words Main character loves to watch Hanami - Sakura petals fall - with his mother every year. But his mother dies, and he sits under sakura tree alone in grief. A girl approaches him asking what he was doing. From that encounter protagonist's mind started to heal. Ten years have passed. He and that girl Suzuna attend the same class. He receives a letter from Suzuna telling "I want to love". He's puzzled by the contents and former sadness returns to him. It's time for new memories to be forged under a sakura tree. Four heroines. Each route is smaller than usual. Scenario is slippery in words and leaves only dissatisfaction and weirdness feeling. At least it's not a full price game. 4. Maokko Crisis まお～っ娘クライシス [020315] Scramble House Main character was relaxing on the grass when a girl descended from the skies. "I'm a demon, can I destroy this world?" It was his first encounter with Miu. Love comedy with four heroines. Each day demon king Miu gives girls artifacts of the doomsday. Successful intimacy with the needed girl in the night allows to acquire artifacts and destroy them preventing the end of the world. Such situations continues eternally until clear conditions are meed, and those conditions are very severe, so not many players were able to fulfill them. 5. Valentine Memories ~Mai Furu Yuki no Naka de~ Valentine Memories ～舞い降る雪の中で～ [020315] Sight Lively main heroine studies diligently in order to enter the same school as her beloved calm brother-in-law. Finally she succeeds, and it's time for rest on Valentine's day. Lots of typos and no voicing, so it's usually not clear who's talking. Horrible system and low quality graphics (though event CG are good). It's easy to get in endless loop. Text render speed is slow, so common route gets tiring, then there's sudden climax and the end. 6. Sakura Taisen 4 ~Koiseyo Otome~ サクラ大戦4 ～恋せよ乙女～ [020321] Sega 1 2 3 4 Oogami Ichirou returns to Japan after having defeated the evil that threatened Paris. Something is once again wrong in the Imperial Capital, as two street cars go berserk without any reason, saved only by the mech-commanding girls of the Hanagumi Brigade. The girls from Paris Kagekidan return to join forces with the original cast, to help Oogami Ichirou to defeat evil one more time. There are English reviews. 7. In White [020322] LiFox Main character returns to his hometown for the first time in three years. He could not save a favorite girl in the traffic accident, and that wound lingers since then. His wish to get back to past is so strong that he is able to get there guided by a voice in the cherry blossom. This time he needs to protect the girl no matter what. Five heroines with an average play time of two hours per route. Standing character sprites are great, but event CG quality is unstable. There is no voicing. BGM quality is low. System is bulky and stressful. 8. Senryaku Musume 戦略娘 [020322] Blue Gale Continent drowned in battle for territory. In this world only women can become military personnel since men are intelligently and mentally inferior to a women. But one day a savior appears in one country, and the problem is that he is a man. That savior is you. Good luck! Strategy + H scenes. There are only 38 CG. There are seven heroines - two in allied country and five in enemy countries. However, protagonist is an elder brother from a good family, so H events aren't dark. Strategy part is quite simple, and there's no need to worry about supplies. 9. Subete ga F ni Naru ~The Perfect Insider~ すべてがFになる　～THE PERFECT INSIDER ～ [020328] KID 1 The player has to investigate and discover who was the murderer of a genius that was murdered in her private laboratory isolated from the outside world with the doors closed and the only clue was a mysterious message that was left. The player controls Kiryuu Wataru, a young fourth year university student in the faculty of engineering and architecture who is into mystery novels. To solve this case he will have the help of Nishinosono Moe (a first grader girl in the University Department of Architecture & Engineering) and Saikawa Souhei (University Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, Architecture) and other characters. This game might resemble both Ever17 and Never7 that came later, but actually this work is based on a novel, and game scenario is created together with the author. Mystery is good, and there are 11 endings. Price tag is higher than usual. The only strange thing in the game is that there is there is no tension among the characters even though there are murders occurring nearby. 10. Angel Core ANGEL・CORE [020329] Rune A young military officer, Captain Ralph Maskenval, was sent to Nortland, to fulfill a mission, which was to keep a close watch over the Angels. The Angels were coerced into believing they needed to have sex to nurture the "Angel Core" inside. Ralph starts to feel awkward about his mission. Then Ralph learns the reason behind the Angels' sex-craved behavior. Ralph will have to make a big decision... Unique game with a solid military world view. Heroines are diverse and each root demands that you both interact with the favorite heroine and get information about her from other heroines. Development is a bit hasty in the second part of each heroine route, but still each story is quite long. Erotic part is not as strong as the story. 11. Angelic Serenade AS〜エンジェリックセレナーデ [020329] Kuroneko-san Team 1 You are a teenage boy traveling to find the angel that stopped you from aging. You don't remember it very well since it was what, ten years, twenty years ago? Maybe even longer. Other than the clothes on your back, you carry a magical, musical instrustrument and the feather of the angel you are searching for. One day, you come across a girl. This girl is very different. She can't talk and has different colored eyes. Her left eye is dark blue and her right eye is fire red. This is how the game begins. There is an English review. 12. Comic Cafe コミックカフェ [020329] Girl's Software Main character is a regular of a certain manga cafe that hires only cute cosplay girls to work here in maid outfits to rise the sales. There is a ticket system here that allows to exchange tickets for a cosplay event of the favorite girl. Until the middle of the game the shifts of girls aren't known, so it's all about save and load. There's no real common route, just individual routes. System is quite painful, so the further you go, the more stress you accumulate. 13. Gaia -Save the Earth- ガイア -Save the Earth- [020329] Xai Pollution levels hit their limit in the 21st century causing water, air and soil contamination, as well as global warming. At such time goddess Gaia appears in the sky with the power of love to save the Earth. She chooses a savior who must bring together powers of heroines from five different countries. And that savior is you. You're not explained anything, so it gets confusing what to do - that hurts pace a lot. Even though you need to travel, you need to choose destination among choices, not on the map. There's only very painful skipping. Volume is small. 14. Genmukan ~Aiyoku to Ryoujoku no Inzai~ 幻夢館～愛欲と凌辱の淫罪～ [020329] Aias You play as Satoru, a detective that smokes 40 cigarettes a day. He and his lovely lady assistant come upon a mysterious parcel at work with an address and the single request of "Protect this family". When he scouts out the address he finds an enormous estate with an equally breathtaking European-style mansion. He heads to the building to further investigate. There he finds the steward, the maid, the manservant, and even the young-lady of the house along with her tutor. However, the master of the premises is nowhere to be found. He then realizes that he's in too deep, but finds out that he's locked within the pavilion. He will soon witness the wicked perverted secret behind the mansion. Actually an eroge with mystery stronger than H motives. Tony's art is a great plus as well - I adore detective assistant Nakayama Mei for a long time, actually. All routes can be beaten in 5 hours overall. Difficulty is easy as there are almost no branches. 15. Hyakki ~Inmoku Sareta Haikyo~ 百鬼 ～淫黙された廃墟～ [020329] Elf Once, "Ohka Island Island" I had ... a vibrant. But a little one kilometers surrounding islands, flourished by coal production, building a 10-story Class line the heyday, I was proud enough to surpass the population density of Tokyo. Includes parks and shrines, to schools and hospitals, but small scale, "Ohka Island" is a splendid town. However, by main force of energy has shifted from coal to oil, the closure of coal mines of the island. Because there is no other than the coal industry, the island residents would no longer have much in months. Now the buildings became ruins ....... Story unfolds on the ruins of "islands Ohka" that has been sealed ...... even the weathered storage. Stunning hidden truth and eternal love ......... the drama joy, anger, and sorrow is! ? There are 15 routes hidden inside the island, but they demand exploration and thus are easy to miss. Routes are absolutely different varying from pure lot to erotic, from mystery to ghost stories. Each route takes only one day. Too many elements are introduced at once - exploration, 3D animation, point-and-click during H events etc. Boring conversation kills the middle game. 16. Kikokugai - The Cyber Slayer 鬼哭街 The Cyber Slayer [020329] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 A tale of revenge set in future Shanghai, where crime syndicates and cyber-warriors rule the city. The schools of martial arts can be largely divided into two styles - Waijia, the external schools that concentrate solely on the development of speed, strength, and powerful forms and techniques - and Neijia, those that use control of breathing and blood flow to master the internal energy - qi - that flows through the body's meridians. Because of these methodological differences, the two styles have vied time and again for supremacy. Although practitioners of Waijia were far greater in number, in the end not one of them could stand up to a warrior who had truly mastered the secrets of Neijia. For centuries, this was the unchallenged law of the martial arts world. However, the advent of cybernetics changed everything. Freed from the yoke of their physical limitations, Waijia schools discovered an entirely new world of possibility. The Neijia schools that had reigned over the martial world with their secret techniques, suddenly found themselves obsolete. In this age where technology is changing the face of combat, heirs to the ancient martial traditions have developed anti-cyborg techniques for the sole purpose of defeating cyborgs with one's bare hands - at great cost to the wielder. Kong Taoluo, one such master and former asssassin in the Qingyun Society, returns to Shanghai from a year in recovery after being betrayed by the syndicate and assumed dead. Discovering the horrible truth of what has happened to his sister during his absence; Taoluo swears an oath of vengeance and sets out to murder those responsible. Game is localized and has lots of English reviews. 17. Mayu ~Yuki no Knife~ 繭～雪のナイフ～ [020329] Gipsy A letter arrived to main character from a childhood friend asking to return to his hometown. At the station he is met my a maid and guided to the mansion. At night one of the guests of the mansion is found dead. Then another one. What's the motive of the criminal? Period is 7 days. Lots of mystic concepts are piled together in this game. Lots of hints are scattered around in cryptic notes. Thin scenario and small number of CG are the main weak points. 18. Missing Link -Actual Facts- [020329] Altacia A middle-aged man's dead body is found on the rails at Nakano Station in Tokyo. Is it a suicide, murder or an accident? Ukyo meets with the widow with three children and starts to move. However, during investigation he starts to feel that the family is about to be incorporated into a “multi-edged whirlpool of organized crime”. Can Ukyo protect the family from the impending crisis? Case is based on real events, but according to the genre rules there's a proper ending here. During game release in 1996 such ending was not possible since lawsuit was still not finished. This particular works deals with sufferings of Ukyo as a human being rather than focuses on women. Realist and feelings depiction shine here. 19. Mugen no Zero 夢幻のゼロ [020329] Studio B-Room Main character is blown into a mysterious space one day leaded by the voice of the girl asking for help. He has no other option but take the sword and slay monsters in this ever-changing labyrinth to recover his memories. RPG part is quite easy and fun. Text is quite rich, and there's some loli girl waiting by the end. Lots of meaningless battles, but it does not irritate too much. 20. One Night Heaven ~Aka to Kuro no Hitobito ni Sasagu Hommage~ One Night Heaven ～赤と黒の人々に捧ぐオマージュ～ [020329] Black Butterfly High school at Shinjuku, Tokyo, but in imaginary world created by human brain. Fates of 18 people are intertwined there. A girl is in love with a boy, but he only plays with her heart. One day illusion of the girl appears at school, and rumors about her suicide start to spread. At the same time Ryusei creates "Misuzu" and tries to infest people's minds with "Misuzu" through the internet. Nagase starts to investigate the connection between the illusion girl and the "Misuzu"... Game is sometimes called Odeon 2, because of the same developers and no less difficult world. It's really difficult to identify the words of all 18 people without the portraits and relations chart given in the game manual. The wall of text and absence of voicing don't help either. The outcomes here can be absolutely bizarre like resurrection of Christ that triggers destruction of nuclear power plant with the whole world. There aren't real reviews for this modernistic thing. 21. Pokopoko Gunsho 2 ~Its a Real World~ ぽこぽこ軍将2～いっつ・あ・りある・わ～るど～ [020329] Yui Koubou Select opponents in military shogi game and defeat cute girls! There are both familiar faces of heroines and new ones. Difficulty is up due to doubling the board size. Surprising... but still not interested. 22. Seishun 18 Radio 青春18ラヂオ [020329] Ark There is a community radio station "Seishun 18 Radio" located in the former elementary school building in Kubota. It is a radio station loved by the youth for its sincerity. However, hospitalization of the leading producer forced the station to shut down due to confusion and financial difficulties. Protagonist starts reconstruction of the station. Will he be able to overcome difficulties and build human relations with his colleagues? First half is ADV, but the second half is a board game. There are 15 game episodes and, sadly, they are disjointed. In order to move to the next board round it's needed to expand your team and fulfill a certain condition. The development is sudden, and no conclusions are prepared. There's no such thing as mutual help - just individual H paths with some girls. Game's a total mess. 23. Sky SKY ～スカイ～ [020329] Cherry Soft The sun darkens and casts shadows, and the wind clears her hat. Summer sea glimmers. White clouds run across the blue sky. She waves to me a lot. That's something I like in her. Period is one month. You need to solve various troubles in your studies and grow love feeling with some heroine. Thanks to introduced hint system walkthrough is not really needed. Everyday sweet talk helps the relations. Weekends are for date events. There are multiple animated H scenes for each heroine totaling over 30 minutes of real time. Development is without any ups and downs, so feels boring. Surprisingly ordinary game for Cherry Soft. 24. Mukou no Yume 向日の夢 [0203] Treasures 1 2 For reasons completely unknown, Chisato Mikogami kills herself. She comes back as a ghost and wanders the earth, meeting the many interesting spirits and ghosts that make up the afterlife. Like Fishman, a fish spirit with a grudge against Chisato; Chisato's crazy sister who experiments on her, Chiyu; and their insanely powerful Mom. There are English reviews. BLOCKED 1.

Foreword: I already chose another game for review in February... but in the end just could not ignore this huge pillar of today's visual novels. Without Kusarihime there would not be Saya no Uta, Cross Channel, Fate/stay night and Higurashi, so it's significance for the history can not be overerestimated. Title: Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~ Developer: Liar-soft Date: 2002-02-08 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v37 Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J_joeqKri0&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv9h7u5e_7ePpWZ28i2PWbxd Synopsis: After the mysterious death of his father and his younger sister Juri, Itsuki, now suffering from amnesia, moves back to his hometown with his stepmother. There he meets an enigmatic young girl dressed in a crimson red kimono named Kurame, and the two soon become friends. The strange thing is, Kurame looks exactly like his younger sister Juri... On the surface, Itsuki's family and friends all appear to be rooting for his full recovery. However, deep inside, they also seem to be burdened with secrets and guilt about the past. In the span of four days, Itsuki's memories will slowly return as he struggles between his loss and his fear of the truth, until the fourth night, when the whole world becomes blanketed under a red sheet of snow and wrapped up in the silence of death.... Structure: 10 cycles x 4 days Length: 10 hours Game type: Mythology rural human drama mystery. Difficulty: It's easy to get some ending, but not so easy to get the desired ending Character Design rating: 10/10 Protagonist rating: 10/10 Story rating: 10/10 Game quality: 10/10 Overall rating: 10/10 There are as many as 5 reviews, plus reddit impressions, plus very curious spoiler theory-crafting thread (1 2 3 4 5 6 7), so pretty much everything is said there already. So what I intend to is to tell you without spoilers what this visual novel is about and why you must read it. And it's very difficult to talk about Kusarihime without spoilers. Let me present an imaginary dialogue of my consciousness after reading Kusarihime trying to persuade my skeptical other self reluctant to try it. - So, first of all, Kusarihime is neither a horror nor a nakige. It's a rural story about a boy who looses memory and comes to his home town to try to regain his memories. - How convenient! We've seen dozens of such stories by 2002 already! What's special in it this time? - One thing is that game is looped over the same four August days - That's not exactly a new thing. I remember at least three games with loops before 2002. - But the second thing is that it's not a game about chasing girls. No heroine gets her separate end. - That's weird. Is it some all ages game or something? What is there if there aren't heroine routes? - Each heroine actually gets one of those 10 time loops to focus attention almost exclusively on her. That provides ample opportunities for presenting H scenes. - So there ARE actually heroines routes, they are just hidden inside some of the loops. What makes it different from usual nukige or charage? - Heroines here are not isolated inside their stories. They pierce all the loops, and each heroine story only helps to reveal the mystery behind the protagonist past. - Oh, the "mystery". Something about the promise made 10 years ago? - Absolutely not. First tier of mystery is about stray girl Kurame who looks just like protagonist's deceased sister Juri. Second tier of mystery is about protagonist's family overall - he had a father, a mother, a sister and a dog - all dead by now. The third tier of mystery is about the loop itself that ends with red snow falling, usually after some impactful violent events. - Oh, so people die in here? Any guro as well? - Thanks to loop concept it's possible to introduce any number of deaths here and then rewrite everything with another loop cycle. There is no guro. - Pff, so even deaths happen not in the real world. Why should I bother reading 10 imaginary stories? - Well, deaths actually affect same characters in next loops greatly. And count the characters - only half of the stories are loosely focused on some character. The rest of loops are focused on past or give hints to the listed mysteries. - Oh, the "mysteries" again. Btw, what does this weird title Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~ mean? - Kusarihime is translated as "rotting princess", it's the local legend about a girl in red kimono that causes certain people die. That girl's name is Kagame. And the stray girl that's found in the forest is given name Kagame by protagonist, but he can not explain why. As for "euthanasia", it's also a mystery. Here's dictionary definition: "Euthanasia is the termination of a very sick person's life in order to relieve them of their suffering". - I know what it means, thank you. So I get the concept of the game more or less. But what makes this game so special? - Soundtrack, unique graphics style, great directing with lots of flashbacks and insertion of sudden scenes from other times, use of frequently moving figures on the screen instead of sprites, stunning stories of each girl, mystery plot loopholes as basis for replay-ability or theory-crafting. - Ok, enough! Might give it a look if I find the time in my busy schedule. No promises, though. Overall comments: I consider Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~ to be the first intellectual visual novel in history. It attracts not thanks to thrilling plot, great characters or superb visuals. It creates a multiple layer mystery where different parts move in their own pace cross-referencing each till sudden resolution. Reader is required to remember or re-read early scenes to fill some parts of the puzzle and make his own guess about the rest. In that way it can also be called the first interactive visual novel.

The sweet goddess of February 2002 is Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~ 1. Ame ni Utau Tanshikyoku ~A Rainbow After the Rain~ 雨に歌う譚詩曲～A rainbow after the rain～ [020201] Emu 1 Throughout the game you are presented with various flashbacks of a psychiatrist talking with a girl named Ame. At the start of the story the protagonist lives with Chinatsu due to various happenings in his childhood that caused him to become an orphan, and as such mainly sees her as an older sister. The prologue basically starts out with Chinatsu telling the protagonist that 3 of her patients will come live with them for a few weeks as a part of their rehabilitation. There is an English review. 2. Boku to, Bokura no Natsu 僕と、僕らの夏 [020201] light 1 A secluded place in the rural mountains. Takao returns to the village where he grew up. However, this summer will be the last time, for a dam is being erected and is to submerge the entire valley. For the first time in 3 years, Takao is to reunite with comrades from his former school. He remembers about a certain treasure they buried a long time ago. Typical nostalgic pure love story, but thanks to change of psychological portrayal it can be read to the end without getting tired. Development is serious, with few gags. Quite satisfactory game for those who like village slice-of-life. 3. Love Letter [020201] Mu Takuya works as an assistant professor in a medical school, and with his talent, he shows promise not only in the academy, but also in the medical society. One day, Takuya receives a letter from an unknown sender. Though he thinks it's suspicious, he still opens it and finds a piece of human skin inside. Then afterwards, the bewildered Takuya continues to receive letters written by "The woman who loves you the most in the world". The contents of the letters gradually continue to escalate, and finally it reaches a point where video recordings of women close to Takuya being brutally murdered are sent to him. It's another brand of Mink, so ero-tilt is inevitable. But such bizarre atmosphere is not something expected. Guro scenes are mostly disgusting rather than appealing, and for that reason game can't be called a nukige. 4. New ~Maid-san no Gakkou~ new～メイドさんの学校～ [020201] Succubus "Maid" has become a profession girls look up to. To nurture maids special school is created. Main character needs to find his love in this maids school. Seven different people wrote the scenario routes, so each route is very different. Some even have only sad endings. There are only 10 days given. Quite original moege. 5. Talk to Talk [020201] Clear Main character is a clone without emotions. As he leads the school life, he gradually deepens friendship with five girls. Will emotions manage to show up in this interaction? Normal school love story. Every heroine gets a good ending, although there are questions about how relations can remain good with such poorly adapted protagonist. Role of protagonist varies greatly from route to route - he can be both proactive and passive pushover. So it's quite an unusual moege, but unusual setting delivers many problems as well. 6. Ultimate Hunter アルティメットハンター [020201] Xuse You are Keith, a hunter of the Hunters Guild and who dreams to become the Ultimate Hunter. In truth you are one of the worst, because you're very lazy, to the despair of your partner Elena. One day, you meet a girl, Serika, who asks you to help her take back a rosary that the bandits stole from her. You help her, she thanks you and goes away just like that... Thats how you start your real hunters life... There are 37 stages that include battles - satisfying winning condition ends battle. Multiple capture is possible and almost all heroines can be flagged with just one playthrough. Second playthrough on a higher difficulty adds new location with several battles prepared. The density of H events is higher that in typical ero rpg. And such scenes are animated. 7. Waitress-san Hai! ウエイトレスさんハイ！ [020201] Evolution 1 Our hero, who is really into uniforms, wants to buy a bike and decides to work part time at a restaurant called "The White Plum." The White Plum is well known among uniform groupies. Most of the customers are here to see the girls, so there are hardly any males working here. Our hero luckily has a friend employed at the restaurant, who helps him get a job. However, the manager says, "You cannot have a relationship with any of the waitresses." Our hero refuses to give up. He waits for the right time to get close to the girls. As he protects the cute waitresses from other guys, just what will our hero find awaiting him? A mediocre moege. 8. Himawari no Saku Machi ひまわりの咲くまち [020208] Fairytale Main character is asked by his grandfather to come to home town run a boarding house with a public path for some time. This boarding house is inhabited only by girls. Protagonist starts his everyday chores in hope to find his childhood friend he fell in love many-many years ago. Again a cliche setting and again inviting Carnelian to try to sell the result. Comedy in the main part and short heroine routes. Moege with clear character patterns. 9. Kusarihime ~Euthanasia~ 腐り姫 ～euthanasia～ [020208] Liar-soft 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 After the mysterious death of his father and his younger sister Juri, Itsuki, now suffering from amnesia, moves back to his hometown with his stepmother. There he meets an enigmatic young girl dressed in a crimson red kimono named Kurame, and the two soon become friends. The strange thing is, Kurame looks exactly like his younger sister Juri... On the surface, Itsuki's family and friends all appear to be rooting for his full recovery. However, deep inside, they also seem to be burdened with secrets and guilt about the past. In the span of four days, Itsuki's memories will slowly return as he struggles between his loss and his fear of the truth, until the fourth night, when the whole world becomes blanketed under a red sheet of snow and wrapped up in the silence of death.... There are many English reviews. 10. Memorial. めもりある。 [020208] Bell-Da Main character serves as director of visual media research department of a certain university. He has recently moved in with his lover. One day he is asked to investigate frequent spirited away cases in same section of Rena. He gathers his fellow students and begins investigation. From the start we choose two girls to investigate cases with. Night H events depend on progress and interactions during daytime. Daytime comedy does not really fit regular, but short H night scenes. All the elements feel incomplete. Story is absolutely trampled in favor of ero scenes. 11. Chocolate Kiss チョコレートキス [020214] DigiCube 1 2 The player is a high school student that begins the game in 15th of January. He wants a girlfriend that can give him chocolate on Valentine's Day and has one month to complete his mission. There are 9 different girls to date: Marie, Sachi, Saeko, Yayoi, Miko, Anju, Natsuki, Yuka & Kira. Each day is divided in 3 sections: Morning, Launch break & After School. The player decides what he wants to do in each section of the day. Depending of his decision he will meet one girl or another in that day. Realistic moege. 12. Re.verse ~Kioku~ Re.verse～記憶～ [020214] KIT Main character loses his job and follows a newspaper vacation for a vaguely depicted job. The next day he is picked up by woman Kaoru and taken to a mansion where he needs to overcome girl Elena's phobia of men. Only Elena route is well done. Genre can be described as nakige. Average playthrough per route is 4 hours. Just a single H event per heroine. 13. Daimon ダイモン [020215] LiLiM The "people of the universe" suddenly attack a peaceful town from space! The powerful armored machines are opposed by a colorful bunch of strange girls. Genre is gag comedy with parodies. There are five heroines each presenting some kind of trope. First half determines the heroine, the second half is the actual battles, and this second half is pretty much the same for every heroine. There is just one H scene per heroine. 14. Flugel ~Yakusoku no Aozora no Shita e~ フリューゲル～約束の青空の下へ～ [020215] Tactics Humans divided into two categories - those who could use magic and those who could not. After invention of internal combustion engine the need in magicians waned and two factions began living isolated. One day a certain witch visits technology world... Story is one way road with three endings for each of three heroines. World is depicted well, but second half of the story is forced. 15. Masquerade ~Kamen Yuugi~ Masquerade～仮面遊戯～ [020215] Spiral Main character has the power to manipulate personalities in the direction desired by clients. Among other cases one day he gets a request to get rid of multiple personalities in young man's lover. So starts his adventure to the labyrinth of girl's heart. There are three cases, but protagonist knows exactly what to do right from the start, and that irritates. Game definitely has ero-tilt due to dark personalities of characters. Story is weak. 16. Binary Pot バイナリィ・ポット -Binary Pot- [020222] August Connection with a famous network game "a world", delicious coffee, and network cafe Binary Pot with a famous girl. As a young chief of the shop, a hero will experience various tales with a regular customer etc. Since girls are the players of a network game, respectively, after closing can also meet them on on-line. And the tale which becomes entangled in both of the worlds, the tale which is not involved. Is a hero how to make it put the body on which world? Moege comedy. World is of near future and is described vaguely. There are five heroines, but only three scenarios. All scenarios are basically the same. 17. Flutter of Birds 2 Tenshi-tachi no Tsubasa flutter of birdsII　天使たちの翼 [020222] Silky's The miracle happens again... in another country- The son of an Englishman and a Japanese woman, our main character is Shin'ya. Having grown up in his father's native land, he wanted to visit the homeland of his mother, who died when he was young. White snow covers the town of Kuramachi. His other hometown, the last trace of his mother. That is where his father and mother met and were married. And the time comes when Shin'ya's wish is granted. His aunt Miyu says she'll look after him at her church.. In his mother's hometown, Shin'ya injures his leg and goes to a clinic. As Shin'ya stays in the small, snow-covered town, waiting for his leg to heal, he encounters various young women. His encounter with the girl in the clinic who likes to read, Narumi, becomes one he'll never forget.. Nakige. Each heroine has just one H event in the end. As an individual game it's not particularly interesting. But for those who played the prequel it delivers a lot through references. 18. Juusou Koujo Metal Princess 重装皇女メタルプリンセス [020222] AniSeed School is over for you... Time to look for a job... But what to do now? You realize you are good at nothing. Strangely a double opportunity shows up... A strange group named "The secret society of Evil" seems completely amazed by your shoulder where a hot cup of tea burnt a shape that looks like a dragon... They don't give you a single chance to reject their offer and you are now their leader! The same day, your grandfather, just before dying at the hospital, obtains from you the promise to accept the position of Commander in a secret "Earth defense army"... Soldiers in both groups appear to be lovely girls, pilots of 'mechas', with very different characters and it's clear they are completely opposite groups and fighting each other... Survival implies to play both roles simultaneously in a very subtle way... but for how long can you hide the truth and avoid casualties? Battle is done once a week. Battle difficulty is quite low as it's mostly about gauge control. Developer is famous for wide use of animation, especially in H events. There are 9 endings overall - 6 individual endings, one bad end and two true endings. 19. Kamine no Mori 神音の森 [020222] Active "Paranormal Study Group" university club includes two men and three women. They don't have any regulations - just to visit strange places and have fun. This time they investigate a spirit legend in the hot springs resort. The state of the village is strange - it looks like the group witnesses the past of the village. They investigate it to return to the present age, but the village legend starts to reveal itself... A bakage to the bones. The story is the the same in each route apart of animated H event. Good news is that all male characters including protagonist are voiced. Bad news is that all males voicing is done by the same person. The actual playthrough time is one hour initially and just 30 minutes for consequent ones. 20. Yadokari Typhoon! やどかりタイフーン！ [020222] Orbit-Cactus Main character Ricardo is a captain of a pirate ship. His crew is full of energy in search of riches. The jewel stuck in the ship deck hints a way to the legendary pirate paradise with tons of gems. All directions are available for new adventures. The travelling mode is very troublesome since visiting a lot of harbors is required for flagging. Game suffers from the lack of strong vivid characters. There's no violence, and it usually looks more like a comedy tea-party. Four heroines have their endings, plus there is one sub-heroine. 21. Milky Season ミルキィ・シーズン [020228] KID 1 As the newly appointed manager of a female students' dormitory, the player interacts and potentially finds love with 12 beautiful girls. Light comedy. It's a charage, so plot is non-existent. 22. Piece of Wonder ピースオブワンダー [0202] Studio Crossfire 1 2 When the new century arrived, so did they. Until now, the Japanese government has managed to keep the mass media from exposing the fact that the future of humankind hangs in the balance... that people are being reborn as a new, evolved form of life. Exactly what triggered the birth of this creature known as "Evolution" is unclear... Kazuya Fuwa, a less-than-perfect university student, and his childhood friend Amane Saionji were leading perfectly happy ordinary lives. But beneath the peaceful surface of their town, Evolution was waiting... There are English reviews. BLOCKED 1. Virgin Oil バージンオイル [020201] Sekilala Main character is a teacher in a girls school.
