4. Akaki Isakaime 紅き諍い女 [010615] Vega
Two tribes have been serving their own gods and lived in isolation from each other. But war broke out because of a certain incident. The prince from one tribe and princess of the other tribe were in love, but decided to sacrifice their lives to put an end to the war. At the last moment princess lowered her sword hoping her lover would live for both of them. The prince vowed to resurrect his princess.
Despite all the high-strung setting, hero just has his fun with pretty much any woman he meets on his way. There are only four choices in the whole game, so the structure is very simple. The branches are also super short up to 10 minutes short and containing a H scene immediately. So there's hardly anything to discuss here.
5. Ame Agari no Neko-tachi e 雨あがりの猫たちへ [010615] Hooksoft 1
This story begins in 1990. Hitomi and Hoshibana lead the lives of 2 ordinary high school girls. Hoshibana, having distrust for all men due to a prior traumatic experience, falls in love with
Hitomi. With these complex emotions, Hoshibana continues seeing Hitomi, until one rainy day, she confronts Hitomi with her feelings. Suddenly, an accident occurs... They're buried alive in a landslide! A monument is built for these two at the school; the sorrow for these two continues...
Multi-site time travel loop adventure. So many curious features! But reality is much more harsh. There is no voicing, no future Hooksoft moe in this debut work. Keeper and Maker views on the story aren't too different. All the looping just makes the same scenario play over and over bringing eternal boredom.
6. Cos Para ~Happy Costume Paradise~ コス☆パラ～はっぴぃコスチューム☆パラダイス～ [010615] Black Package
Main character is the son of a director of a huge department store chain. He is entrusted to hold a beauty competition among store clerks. And in accordance to father's tastes it should be a cosplay competition. The concurs outcome will determine the position protagonist achieves in the company.
Game is actually a training SIM to prepare the best candidate, and thus a disguised nukige...
7. Hotaru no Hikari ~Fluorite~ ほたるのひかり ～フローライト～ [010615] Adonis
Fluorite is a power stone ore that emits beautiful sparkle when put in fire, just as as firefly. But in the end of the day it crumbles, just as Hotaru childhood friend in the nurse room.

I was not aware of "fluorite" alias back then. Hotaru is a regular at the nurse room. I peek at her medical card. Lung cancer. Hotaru only has several months to live.
Game has zero impressions or comments. There are four heroines, including Hotaru. There is quite a lot of H action put into each route, and there are also two bad endings just for that. One of the heroines is actually sex buddy. So overall direction of the game is well seen.
8. Private Nurse プライベートナース [010615] Angel Smile 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Now grandmother invites him to help with the coffee shop "Railway" that got its name due to being set up at an abandoned train locomotive on the outskirts of the town. Meeting old friends, recovering old memories... it's a place where dreams come true.
First half of the game is a good slice of life example with many unique heroines. But the second half gets really heavy with lots of incurable disease and suicide themes. Bugs and confusing routes outcomes hurt the impression.
10. Touch My Heart たっち・まい・は～と [010615] Haoh

11. Yukiusagi ゆきうさぎ [010615] LiLiM
This game is staged in the town of Chelkiki, nestled in the northern part of Japan glistening like the color of silver. Its picturesque serenity has never existed on a map.Hayato Sanada, the owner of an magnificent villa, is enjoying a ride with his butler in his "Hawaiian Crusher ‡U." It is a continuous summer-like 86 degrees inside the Hawaiian. Suddenly, a girl comes rolling down from the top of the summit in a snowball. She collides with the Hawaiian, and his beautiful car is demolished. What a way to meet a girl! The girl Yuuna helps Hayato return to his villa; he realizes that it was their destiny to meet.This slapstick comedy-adventure is staged in the land of snow, where you'll also enjoy appearances from heroines from our other pieces of work. Amongst the laughter, this game will really make you yearn for your youthful days.
A bakage where main character has different personality according to heroine route. Only one scenario is somewhat satisfying. Game is mostly about gags and animated H scenes.
12. Mahou Shoujo Ai 魔法少女アイ [010622] Colors
In a certain town, there were consecutive phantom assaults. Because the incidents were extraordinary, there was a rumor that a ghost or supernatural creature caused them. The students in the Akitoshi's school were frightened. One day, an unknown girl appeared in the school. However, all the students except Akitoshi thought they had known her. Feeling strange, he shadowed her in order to investigate her but he lost sight of her. At that moment, he heard the scream of a woman from the nearby material yard and went to the place where the scream came from. There he found the beautiful girl of the school, Mikage. Mikage was surrounded by monsters "Yuragi" (fluctuation), and she was hanging naked. Yuragi noticed Akitoshi and began to attack him. Then, the fighter, Ai, appeared and cut them down.
Akitoshi stared at Ai. What was her true character, an enemy or an ally?
I don't think there was a correlation between magical girls and tentacles before this game. But Mahou Shoujo Ai really turned the tides. Story here is weak and without impressive ending, but it has lots and lots of tentacle H events, most of which are bad endings. Battles are quite well done, but besides that game is painful for all but tentacle fans.
13. Mitama ~Shinobi~ 御魂～忍～ [010622] Ciel 1
Ninja super action! Set during the time of the North and South Dynasties in Japan, the chaotic period after the collapse of the Kamakura government and before the formation of the Muromachi government. You must choose, in the beginning, one of two characters and determine whether you will side with the North or the South Dynasties. Depending on how you carry yourself throughout the game, you will actively change the fate of the game. Choose the Southern Dynasty and become Yahiro, the youngest sibling of a noble family, commanded to search and obtain the three sacred treasures handed down from the gods. Choose the Northern Dynasty and become Oboro, the ninja from the Fuga clan, commanded to assassinate the Southern Emperor. The intense portrayal of these two characters living in turbulent times and the mysteries that confront you make this all worthwhile. Also, there are fighting everywhere on this map and events, with intensity burning even hotter.
Quite a serous historical work. Atmosphere of the time is depicted well and graphics are on par to it. There are fixed fighting scenes, and winning in them develops skill and level. Fight system resembles janken as there is attack, defend and art, and guessing enemy action determines the outcome - so it's kinda luck based. There are two routes for two different clans members. And it's quite inevitable that main characters have to fight each other in the end. Some bugs remain even after final patch.
14. Toki no Mori no Monogatari ~Tear~ 時の森の物語 ～TEAR～ [010622] Fairytale

A moderately difficult to operate action RPG to clear dungeon levels. Not really much from visual novel here.

Under pressure to improve your typing skills in real life, you find yourself dreaming every night about scenarios from various VIPER games in which proficient typing would be used to solve a particular problem. As your skills improve, the stages get progressively harder.
Only old games scenarios are used, no really fresh content. So it's more like a fandisc, no value for me.

This is the beginning of a series of murders. Not only by herself, but Miyuki sometimes manipulates Nagi's younger brother to take people's lives. Tatsuhiko might have accidentally started this mayhem, but can he stop it now?
As usual, there is not a single impression for Ange game. This company's weird drawing style, weak stories and ero-centered nature has managed to get them to as far as year 2001, but it's the last year of company's existence. It's hard to find appeal points in these works anymore.
19. Mune Kyun! Heartful Cafe 胸キュン!はぁとふるCafe [010629] Unison Shift
Main character gets a job at a coffee shop. Suddenly twin sisters-in-law arrives there and start to live together with protagonist. A sweet life with cute sisters begins.
Period is two months. A comedy moege. But at the very end it gets painfully realistic creating a bad aftertaste.
20. No Reality [010629] Unknown

Fixers receive individual cases for investigations, but they aren't given special rights which causes constant conflicts with the police over legality of means used.

Several prostitutes are killed in a chain, and Neil is given a request to investigate it. It's yet to know that the case is going to develop in a series of terrible murders.
This game is everything why I read visual novels. A detailed cyberpunk world in an absolutely hard boiled novel. Of course I'm making a review.
21. Oyakusoku Love お約束LOVE [010629] Hayashigumi
Main character is an ordinary student. One day a fortune teller claims that there are multiple red threads of fate entangled about the protagonist. In order to break free he needs to spend the night of his next birthday with the special person he likes. The boy does not take it seriously, but a series of fateful encounters makes him think otherwise. He only has three months left till his birthday.
Love comedy. This work has a very loose structure, and for that reason relations advance even with non-targeted heroines, including H events. And H element is strong, 2-4 scenes for each heroine. First playthrough takes only about two hours.

1. Bishoujo Ren'ai Mahjong Series 2nd: Shiritsu Houou Gakuen: 2-nen Junjou-gumi 美少女恋愛麻雀シリーズ2nd 私立鳳凰学園 2年純情組 [010403] J-Wing 1

But bittersweet story of Megumi Makoto is considered to be main one.
Card game
2. True Love Story 3 トゥルーラブストーリー3 [010405] Game Club 1
True Love Story 3 places the player in the shoes of a young male protagonist experiencing his third year of Junior High with the goal of confessing his love to one of a number of female peers. As the year opens he is introduced to the girl he has long had a crush on, Aotsuki Takane, by his twin sister who commutes to the same school, Kaname.
The game tracks characters' "level of friendship" (友人度) and "level of affection" (恋愛度) towards the player character on a triangular diagram that the player can learn the status of regularly by consulting with his twin sister at the end of a day. Instead of playing each day of the school year, the player selects "try-your-best days" (頑張る日), the frequency of which affects his level of enthusiasm (やる気), which in turn influences the occurrence of special events. But the most distinguishing feature of the game and of the series as a whole is its unique conversation system. At the end of a weekday, if the weather is sunny, the player has three chances to try to meet a girl who he can invite to walk home with (or be invited to walk home with) and the invite, if successful, leads to a complex conversation mode in which numerous topics can be selected, the goal being to raise the girl's "hearthrob gauge" (ときめきゲージ) without filling up her "pounding heart" （ドキドキハート） and possibly invite her out on a date before the walk home concludes.
Third bulled of a classical SIM series that keeps inventing more and more difficulties each time making enjoying it pretty much impossible for a westerner.
3. Handle With Care.. [010406] ETOILE 1
Our hero was the vocalist of the legendary rock band "Bloody Roses." Presently, his activities with the band are on hold. At one of the live houses he played at, he met an extremely talented vocalist named Sahara Shion. He takes it upon himself to help her in her career... As a player, it is your goal to eventually bring this beautiful talent on stage at the live house "Moon Rouge."
Story is straight and without surprises, but it's not a story-centered game, after all. At least it's a serious story of a juvenile band growing up. Five vocal songs and frequent use of animation give the game high production values. But, most importantly, girls are charming enough and atmosphere good enough to feel the part of the group. One playthrough is some 8 hours, next ones with read text skip takes about 3 hours. Endings vary greatly from one heroine to another, and only Shion has both normal ending and true ending. Depending on person, it can easily be a masterpiece. And I'm not such person.
4. Negapoji ~Onii-chan to Yobanaide!!~ ねがぽじ～お兄ちゃんと呼ばないでっ！！～ [010406] Active 1
Hiroba Mahiru, the protagonist, is a girl attending Mizuki Academy. One day in the changing rooms at school, Mahiru's friend Kasumi Sakuraba accidentally tore off her panties. After what she saw, Kasumi declared Mahiru was a boy. After this, Mahiru was forced to go to the hospital for two months, before finally being able to return to school... but as a boy instead.
There are three heroines for capture and five endings overall, one being bad end and one true end. Somehow hero is treated very coldly by everyone in school and family, and only a few of his old friends keep treating him normally, so it's not a full-fledged comedy. Other than True end scenarios have some different approach, but still hardly worth seeing after the True end.
5. Pon' 2: Truth of the Nightmare [010406] Cheri

There's not even a normal synopsis for this game around. But with concept left intact, noone cares. So shall I.
6. Angel Present エンジェルプレゼント [010412] HuneX 1
The player takes a role of a young male assistant to the picture book writer who just went on a tour of Europe for an inspiration. You, on the other hand, desperately want to prove yourself in the area, but your inspiration is as dry as an empty well. So, you decide to take those three weeks of holidays to return to your hometown and give your best to come up with something solid or completely give up on wanting to become a picture book writer. Your hometown is a couple of hours from Tokyo by bullet train, though it is a rather rural area so it requires a switch to a more local train. Upon your arrival, you soon team up with Erina, an old friend of yours, and the two of you keep on exploring town, going places an meeting people. One night, walking alone in the woods, you get caught by the rain. Running to find a shelter, you stumble upon a small shrine. There, in front of your eyes, you see a flying silhouette which soon gets zapped by the thunder and falls down not far from where you are. Not sure what you saw really happened, you come outside and see a small fairy, down on the ground under the rain and with a wounded wing. You pick her up and tend to her wound. She quickly tests her fixed wings and flies away with a smile. As the morning comes, you look over town and has a sudden vision of an unknown place. Whatever happened to you granted you certain magical abilities you are not aware of.
Surprisingly decent atmosphere puts game to unique position.
7. Case 266 ~266 Gou Jiken~ CASE266～266号事件～ [010413] Complet's
United States midlands, 1998. Two prisoners Kane and Gaston who are charged with life sentence manage to jailbreak. The police severe measures are in vain, and crimes are commenced one after another.
Detective Ralph Vincent is a detective who initially caught those two criminals. Together with his young partner John Orwell they investigate the so called "266 case", but it turns out not so easy to crack. However, the hunt has just begun.
Game turned out to be very small, simple and tedious. There's the need to patrol suspicious places by choosing them on the map and choosing one of three actions to do there. It's game over if nothing found in 20 days.
8. Mizuiro みずいろ [010413] NekoNeko Soft 1 2 3
The protagonist, Kenji, is living with his adopted sister Yuki, who admires her older brother and harbors a slight secret crush on him.

As they struggle to figure out the mystery behind Hiyori's state, Kenji begins to realize his forgotten feelings and Yuki suffers with her secret.
Game is localized and has English reviews.
9. Stainless Night -Ikiteru- Stainless Night −いきてる− [010413] Sequence 1
With an invitation to go on a trip from Hiromi Hongo, who is one year his senior, our hero Hikaru Takatsuki decides to take her up on her offer. This sounds like they are a couple, however their delicate relationship has never went beyond just being friends, even though Hikaru let Hiromi know of his feelings for her over a year ago. Finally no longer to contain herself, Hiromi has asked him to go with her. Hikaru seems pleased with the turn of events.
The two of them arrive at a small island that is undergoing resort developments. Hikaru will experience various encounters here on this island: Kouhaku and a maid residing with her at the inn, a girl that he grew up with named Ai, and a shrine maiden with long silver hair named Uguisu. At a glance, the encounters will seem like ordinary situations that generally occur on such trips, but Hikaru gradually realizes that each of them have deep ties to him... Through continuous playing, you will find that each ending with each different character will open the curtain to new and exciting scenarios. This game will leave you deeply impressed with the story plotted out in its entirety.
The order of four heroines capture is fixed alike Kizuato, and with that scenario reaches really high degree of completeness. Main theme is that in previous life heroines and protagonist were pulled apart for different age, and here they reincarnate to meet again. But every story surpasses expectations and breaks out of expectations circle. There are references to previous work Pure Angel. So game is almost a masterpiece.
10. Tokyo Yuuyuu 東京幽遊 [010413] Sarang 1
Yuichiro Mikami was previously engaged to Yukino Yamase. His parents had arranged it all, and neither he nor his fiance had any true feelings for each other. During the devastating earthquake in Kanto, Yukino was killed and Yuichiro was injured and fell unconscious.
A few years later, our hero regains consciousness, only to find the ghost of Yukino floating over him. It seems that the only way to exorcise her spirit is for him to fall in love with someone else. In order to send her soul back where it belongs, Yuichiro sets out for Tokyo to fall in love. The concept behind this game is found in the intermingling of various images. The story itself shows the many contrasts relevant to the latter part of the Taisho era and the beginning of the Showa era in Japan. This game provides a new sense of freshness to reality.
Sarang specializes in animation, so game opening and ending really shine, as well as some non-H scene animations during the game like lip sync. Player is bombarded only with bad endings at first. There are many heroines, but only two have developed story, so if you like someone else - tough luck. Overall it's a late Taisho-early Showa charage that feels unsatisfactory with all elements considered.
11. Close to ~Inori no Oka~ Close to ～祈りの丘～ [010419] KID 1 2 3 4
Homura Motoki was walking down the street one day with his girlfriend Yuuna when they were struck by a car. When he woke up in the hospital, he realized something incredible had happened. He was having an out of body experience and no one seems to be able to see or hear him. Floating around in the air, Motoki set off to find Yuuna, only to discover she has lost all her memories of him because of the accident.

12. Tobira [扉] -TOBIRA- [010419] Alice Soft
Makoto returns from study in USA to his school in Japan. He needs to choose one class door... and the person he meets there will be protagonist for the next day and will need to choose next door... Where will this constant protagonist swaps lead to?
I can't answer this question since game has zero reviews just as any other Alice fandisc free game, and I'm not excited by this prospect much to get to the end.
13. Yoru Ga Kuru! -Square of the Moon- 夜が来る！-Square of the MOON- [010419] Alice Soft 1 2 3 4
The story begins with another moon appearing in our skies. No one has yet to find out why such a celestial occurrence came to be, but humanity has to keep on living. Three years since the event, Ryo Hamura is your unassuming high school guy when they are confronted by a strange girl who asks him to fight along side her. Without much else to say (nor much to be written beyond this information), our hero is drawn into a secret world of magic and intrigue.
There are English reviews
14. Anime Shop e Ikou! あにめショップへいこう！ [010420] Squadra D 1
The long, endless summer vacation is here: Our hero is asked to go back to work during the summer for 'Peppermint,' an animation shop he used to work for. Being unable to turn them down, our hero tells them he will work for them until the end of August. Little does he know about the dream-like occurrences he will experience, nor the girls he will meet.
The feature of the story is that pure love turns into a painful dark feeling. There's a bonus scenario after normal scenario, and this bonus one is bigger in length. There are also couple hidden heroines. Overall the number of heroines is 8, and their routes vary greatly, only one or two is of high scenario level, though.
15. Aozameta Tsuki no Hikari 蒼ざめた月の光 [010420] Studio e.go!
Main character Astoria is a demon that lives over 1000 years by robbing people's mind. He targets a new village and aims at some girl standing there. However, a thug appears and attacks the girl just before that, and it looks as if Astoria protects the girl as a result. Her sincere gratitude makes Astoria laugh, and he can't attack her as planned. The cold-hearted demon could not even imagine he would fall in love with this innocent girl Selene ...
Sensation - this is Studio e.go, but game is not an RPG. There are 7 endings, and usually new endings open up only after new game start. There are happy ones, but mostly insulting ones. The number of H scenes is 14, including 4 tentacle ones. The graphics are superb, but there's not much in the story department, ero-centered work.
16. Baby, BE -Bedside Emotion- Baby, BE -Bedside Emotion- [010420] BeF 1
Our hero sees a "help wanted" sign at a restaurant in Chinatown in Yokohama. He applies for the job and meets the owners. Two beautiful sisters run the restaurant, and they decide to hire him because he really has a desire to work. He begins to live in their house and help in the restaurant. These young people really start to get involved with each other as they interact on a daily basis.
Izumi sisters are main heroines and have 3 H events each while the multiple sub-heroines just one. Story is short and text of different quality. Really, there's little worthwhile here besides graphics and music.
17. Kaizoku Oukan 海賊王冠 [010420] SofthouseChara 1 2
In this world...
The great military power Dearumor boasts an almighty force. Land is cleared, new weapons are developed, conventional strategy and tactics are perfected into an art which culminates on the well trained officers and soldiers, and surrounding countries are conquered. Everyone believes that no one can stop their charge, no one doubted that the world is for Dearumor to take. But, there are three powers that can actually oppose them. First is the Fettercairn Treaty Alliance, led by the Ruciun Kindom. Seeing Dearumor's actions as unforgivable, the alliance that's formed in self-defense is capable of fighting equally the invincible Dearumor military whether at land or sea. Another are the sea creatures that are living deep in uncharted waters, the Last Kin. Dearumor's navy which unwittingly trodden on their proud waters, got annihilated. And last... are those that are freely rampaging on the high seas, the pirates.
There's enough information in English in discussion thread.
18. Pheromone ~Hashire Eros! Ai no Time Limit~ フェロモン～走れエロス！愛のタイムリミット～ [010420] Ciel 1
When Hidemaru gets excited, his body secretes a chemical substance called "Pheromone." This substance stimulates sexual feelings in any girl anywhere near him. There are always so many girls around him that he has become afraid of women.From an invitation from his sister, Hidemaru visits her college campus, where he falls in love with Haruna Sakurai. She is completely unaffected by the substance his body produces. However, every other girl becomes a raging animal, when his body produces pheromone. Hidemaru has no control over this, other than to try to remain calm. Will he be able to overcome his problems and enjoy life with Haruna?
This is basically an adventure-style game. You will be provided with a map of general outlines, which must be utilized to succeed. Your objective is to move the map around and arrive in time for your date with Haruna. You can adjust your speed as you move the map, but if you move too fast, your body will produce pheromone, which will definitely cause problems. Here's the catch: If you walk, you'll miss your date with Haruna! Watch your pulse; watch out for the hoards of girls; see if you can make it on time!
Shifting between running and walking to regulate heartbeat level is quite easy if main heroine is the aim, but actually entering full pheromone mode can be more fun. The main heroine remains hugely undeveloped as a character. Quite a stupid game.
19. Shiawase Mille-Feuille ~Sora kara Futago ga Futtekita!!~ しあわせ★ミルフィーユ～そらからふたごがふってきた！！～ [010420] Kuroneko-san Team
Twin girls suddenly appear from a UFO. Main character needs to raise them as sisters for four years. What kinds of sisters will he bring up?
No, it's not that kind of a game. It's a new innocent all-age SIM by Kuroneko-san Team. Game unique point is that player does not give girls instructions to do some activities. Instead, there are problems arising one by one, and solving them differently affects girls in different ways.
20. Happy Lesson [010426] Datam Polystar 1

Happy Lesson plays in the style of an interaction game where the feelings of the other characters are affected by your actions and conversational abilities. Be the good son and you'll be on easy street but behave badly and face the whip.
Dreamcast exclusive Dating SIM stretches far beyond by interest.

PS2 exclusive Dating SIM is only slightly better than DS exclusive one. A miss.
23. The Suiri ~IT Tantei: 18 no Jikenbo~ THE 推理 〜IT探偵：18の事件簿〜 [010426] Tomcat System 1
Main character leaves home after a trifle quarrel with his father. Two years have passed. Every night he sees a dream that he is called by someone, and for the first time in two years he goes back home. He takes over the ranch of his parents and meets five girls with different troubles. Between the wilderness, the ranch and the horses, will he be able to heal the heart wounds of these girls? Game is not voiced, and one story only takes about 30 minutes. Heroines backgrounds aren't explained, development is forced. Game is so short that there's just not enough content to evaluate.
25. B ~Aoki Haitoku~ B～蒼き背徳～ [010427] Tetra 1
Our hero is a former commander in the self-defense forces. He was relieved of command for being responsible for the annihilation of his entire unit. He now leads a calm and peaceful life as an investigator for an insurance company. One day however, his girlfriend Mie suddenly disappears. Having lost the only thing in life that matters to him, our hero succumbs to alcoholism. About this time, a girl claiming to be Mie's friend contacts him and tells him she knows where Mie is. He heads out to meet this friend, Emiko, but is skeptical about any useful information. Our hero isn't at all prepared for what he finds...
This is an adventure game, where your mission is to finds our hero's girlfriend, Mie. You will use the key word "Misty Blue" to solve the mystery. A player has 4 different types of games to choose from: Action, Horror, Splatter, or Suspense. All of these stories follow along the lines of the key word "Misty Blue." You will get the feeling of being in another realm. You can't help but enjoy these rich and colorful stories!
There are too many choices to choose from with the majority being fake ones. Voicing is absolutely amateurish, and it spoils absolutely everything including H scenes. There's not much meaning in the keywords and story overall, just four heroines to capture, preferably with voice turned off.
26. Genrin no Kishougun 幻燐の姫将軍 [010427] Eushully 1

27. Jun'ai Kei. 純愛系。 [010427] NEOPIL
Main character gets tired of his usual life and convenient relations with his lover. On a September night girl Ai appears before him with the summer breeze feeling. She insists that protagonist must become her master as she saw it in the dream. The mysterious girl, the lover or the secret admirer - who will become the heroine of this pure love story?
Whenever I see "pure" I expect something very nasty - that's the law of the genre. Ai route immediately takes us to mild SM slave-master relations, other heroines routes ardently try to catch up to it. But overall it's a well written youth story with great style and atmosphere.
28. Kasumi KA・SU・MI [010427] Scramble House 1
Ippei Matsuba has had a lot of complicated family problems; he returns to his hometown after a 3-year absence to become a dependent of the Matsuba household.

As you move your map around, you proceed by making contact with various girls. The map not only helps you locate girls, it will also help guide you in conversations with them. Being "kind" is the key to succeeding. You can't help but get some great action being this kind!
There are five heroines. Choosing the preferred girl after school is usually enough to trigger event. The ninja/thief theme is not developed even in the Kasumi route, let alone the others. Hero actually needs to learn the way of the sword to protect girls from baddies in something akin to battles. Heroines are cute, but without voicing not that impactful.
29. Mahou no Palette 魔法のパレット [010427] Ivory 1
Jan lost his parents in a fire when he was a child. He now tries to become a painter and travels the land as his father did.

Game mostly for magical girl fetish. There are five heroines. Difficulty is high. Story is usually incomprehensible or stupid with sudden baddie in the end. An average moege.

31. Oku-sama wa Miko? 奥さまは巫女？ [010427] Pajamas Soft
Two childhood friends suddenly confess to protagonist. During the golden week he must decide which one he likes the most. Shrine maiden? Magic girl? Or maybe another childhood friend of maid type?
Genre is comedy. Three heroines with different degree of depth - maid one being the weakest. Content is nothing extraordinary, quite satisfactory for its nieche.
32. Tricolore TRICOLORE -トリコロール- [010427] PL+US 1
One day, our hero receives a package from his father, the scientist. He opens it up to find a robot in the form of a girl. Her name is Shizu. His father asks him to monitor, teach, and train the robot. So begins the life of our hero and his robot. It all starts out with a lot of fun, but there is a secret hidden inside this robot: She has 3 separate personalities!
Another robot girl training game that inherits all the predecessors disadvantages. The only good part here is that each personality has her own theme and more or less own story. But you won't get away without SIM elements like increasing communication value axis etc.

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I evaluate Sapphism no Gensou higher than any other game this month. Wanted to review it myself, but there are too many English reviews already from the yuri army. I'll be playing Femme Fatale since it's the prequel of Edelweiss that I have certain hopes about.
1. Sora no Fudousan 空の浮動産 [010504] Jitensha Sougyou
Near future. Magic has been invented a year ago, and law faculties now study magic. Magic has become an object of numerous regulations. This is a story of a freshman entering such faculty. Game uses the same system as Ano, Subarashii o Mou Ichido that we saw in 1999. That roughly means countless restarts and reloads to find items and hints to bring them back to the saved game. It sounds like pain, and it IS pain.
2. Love Love Teatime らぶらぶティータイム [010511] Actress
Main character gets a part-time job at a coffee shop. There are really cute waitresses working there, but is it possible to go out with a girl met at work?
In two weeks it's needed to raise favorability rate with one of seven girls. Moege with 3-5 H scenes per heroine. Surprisingly, there's a quite decent route about time travel that opens only after all the girls are captured.
3. Silence ~Seinaru Yoru no Kane no Naka de...~ Silence～聖なる夜の鐘の中で・・・～ [010511] e-Erekiteru 1
Our hero has been working day and night on preparations for the school festival. He suddenly experiences a blinding headache and is taken to the hospital. He is diagnosed with a brain tumor and is admitted into the reputable Saint Nicola Hospital. There are eerie rumors that ghosts have been sighted. Just what is it with this hospital? Frightened by his worsening condition, our hero is comforted by the various girls he comes across in the hospital. Christmas swings around as death approaches. . .
Choices diverge into various paths as conversations with girls are taken up in this picture novel. As the player, you can decide how our hero's remaining days will be spent to face the approaching end: To leave without regrets. Even with such an overbearing theme, it really is a refreshing piece of work that we know you'll enjoy.
There are nine heroines to capture including secret one that appears after clearing all other good and bad endings. Scenario is thin. One route takes about 1.5 hours. Protagonist is cruel and selfish. No voicing. Game leaves a poor impression.
4. Trouble Witch!! とらぶるウィッチ～ズ！！ [010511] For 1
An inexperienced magician has mistakenly sent our hero and Orihime to the dream world. They want to go back to the real world as soon as possible, but it looks like it will take more than a month just to prepare for the ceremony to send them back. Until then, they have to stay with Pastel, the inexperienced magician, who brought them here in the first place.
This is an orthodox AVG with very cute characters. You will get to meet the following exciting characters: Orihime, Pastel, Milfiyu, Princess Acerola, Chocola, and Maroon. The disagreeable Cacao will also appear, as he tries to capture Orihime.
Content is boring as there is no real aim in the game, just waiting. Good text and characters though.
5. Bunchasai ぶんちゃさい [010518] Jade
Main character somehow becomes a school festival executive committee member. He gets a task to find participants in cute girls competition as school mascots.
Period is 5 days pre-festival and 2 days during festival. One playthrough takes less than 2 hours, but some heroines have two endings. Since it's a charage, evaluation depends on affection towards the girls.
6. Sapphism no Gensou サフィズムの舷窓 [010518] Liar-soft 1 2 3 4 5
Story takes place on a fanciful, all-girl educational institution that floats along the oceans. Despite the complete absence of men, there have been incidents of rape among the passengers and crew. No one knows who it is just yet, but there are three candidates that carry the high probability of being the next target. Suspense and mystery await as the women suspect one another to be the perpetrator, and who will be next victim. You play as an idol--a female--of the student body who joins in the hunt for finding who did it. The rub lies in the fact that the ship will disembark in three weeks, and the culprit will have gotten away with it by then.
Game takes 3 weeks. On weekdays it's exploration and information gathering, on Saturday deduction work, and on Sunday date with main heroine -> repeat. The scenario is thin, so the main attraction is full yuri, atmosphere and characters.
7. Shinseiki Evangelion: Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン 綾波育成計画 [010518] Gainax 1 2 3
In Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku, the player takes on the role of a NERV officer who has just been assigned to Tokyo-3. Upon meeting with Commander Gendo Ikari, he is charged with taking care of the First Child, the mysterious Evangelion pilot Rei Ayanami. It is up to the player to decide Ayanami's weekly schedule, balancing between education, duties at NERV, and leisure. The game spans approximately one year, and includes the events of the entire anime series, as well as the movie The End of Evangelion.
Game is localized and has English reviews
8. Bounty Hunter Sara: Holly Mountain no Teiou バウンティハンターサラ ホーリーマウンテンの帝王 [010524] Capcom 1
In the year 2060, Neo Tokyo overflows with the criminal element and it's a thug life for many up 'n coming miscreants. The police force can't cope and resorts to doling out mercenary work to enterprising freelance contractors who have the resources to kneecap goons who are dignified only by the warrants on their heads.
As Sara Fitzgerald, you play the part of a bounty hunter who takes on high-risk assignments to earn the almighty dollar. The game focuses on your mission to take down the Lord of Holly Mountain, a feared gangster, by going through his ranks and making the right decisions when facing a dicey scenario.
Movie-ish game featuring lots of exotic vehicles and gunfire. Most of deaths come not from wrong decisions, but exactly from gunfire. Not much story value, as developers are more interested in HOW the justice is going to be done, not why etc.
9. Pokopoko Gunsho ~Tana kara Koboreta Story~ ぽこぽこ軍将 ～棚からこぼれたストーリー～ [010524] ainos
Main character found a strange UFO when cleaning his room. Inside were two aliens who came to this planet to spread military shogi game. Intimacy will be reward for winning.

10. 21-Two One- [010525] BasiL 1
Takuya Kirishima is a brilliant young surgeon who can save anyone with a disease. He spends his days working with his childhood friend Seri Sasaki, who is a nurse in the same hospital. One day, a murder is commited in the hospital and people starts suffering a strange disease not seen before. Takuya starts looking for the answer of these strange happenings so he can protect Seri.
7 heroines, plus one additional. Story focuses on the incident, but psychological description of heroines is missing, so they end up existing separately from the incident. In the end it's a perfectly fine charage, but plot feels not integral enough. Atmosphere is great, though. Additional scenario is actually more interesting than the main plot story.
11. Double DOUBLE～ダブル～ [010525] Cherry Soft
Near future. Winged descendants of angels and demons have appeared on the Earth. A series of crimes break out in the capital Chiba City. Main character is a student who attends Chiba Defense Academy ADAMAS. One day he meets an angelic girl at a crime scene...
Basically it's same setting as Kimon Youitan, and more or less same RPG system. Battles are same repeating and boring, but beautiful CG and same enough to keep going. Scenario is not intriguing enough for me to play this kind of story.
12. DT Lords of Genomes DTローズ・オブ・ゲノム [010525] GameStudio
You are a DT master. You can change the substance with the collected data and use it in fights. Governments, secret societies, religious organizations all aim to get that ability and attack it's owner. There are mysteries you need to understand - what's their purpose, why you became DT master, why each data was developed and what's the secret identity of DT. But first of all you need to survive.
Gameboy exclusive with card battles? Pass.
13. Femme Fatale ファム ファタール [010525] Inspire
Taisho era. Main character is a detective in Tokyo. He returns to hometown to dispose of his father's legacy. Local policeman tells him about a case of girl death from illness at a boarding school, but under suspicious conditions. Detective decides to investigate the incident as he needs to stay at the town for some time anyway.
One road with some bad endings on the way (that include most of H scenes). The most irritating factor is when you get to sleep without perfect investigation during the day - then you are looped backwards till you do it perfectly... System is with lots of little irritations. The atmosphere is inspirational. There are some very interesting mature heroines like your ex wife and daughter you temporarily live with, as long as foreign teacher Freya that seems to be a direct reference to Days Innocent game. So game is more interesting as a part of Inspire flow of works rather than an individual work.
14. Night Walker [010525] Arieroof 1
Monsters, called "Breed", threaten the people of Japan. Tatsuhiko Shibafuji, the proprietor and sole employee of the Shibafuji Detective Agency, possesses great powers that can be used against the "Breed." However, this guy only accepts those cases that attract him. Due to his nighttime activities, people within his industry call him the "Night Walker."
Tatsuhiko receives a request from a private sponsor, Yayoi Matsunaga, who is an inspector on the police force. Our hero sets out to inspect a suspiciously related incident at Saint Michael All-Girls Institute. He comes in contact with one of the friends of the victim, Kazumi Asano. Our hero and Riho Yamazaki find a secret underground room beneath the chapel. Here, they find a pendant, which had belonged to Kazumi. The situation is much more serious that he had expected. This AVG is an orthodox command-selection game. A player searches for clues by traveling to different places, meeting different people, and obtaining various items. Throughout this detective story, a player will come upon many obstructions that will have to be cleared in order to solve the case.
Unfortunately the game is a poor remake of the original game. System remains same old-fashioned look/think/speak/investigate. Basically only graphics improved. Game is released to reap the light of anime adaptation... but isn't it better to watch anime version instead then.
15. Susukinohara no Yakusoku ススキノハラの約束 [010525] Kur-Mar-Ter
Main character attends high school and suffers from nightmares every night. The strange thing in the nightmares is that girls there are from the real life around protagonist. Then one day a girl appears before him asking forgiveness for sending him into these dreams, but also asking for his help...
Dream world and real life world are linked. At daytime hero chases girls in order to proceed the story of the dream world. Real world has more comical approach and dream world is rather serious. The connection between the worlds is thin. The theme of the work feels weak and routes fail to impress. No impact at all.
16. Tobi DVine とびでばいん [010525] Abogado Powers 1 2
Our heroine is an energetic girl named Sakura. For the past few days, she's been having problems being honest with herself and her feelings for her friend, Hide. The two of them are adventurers. Hide fought against the evil spirits at "Ruins 374," also known as The Aveil Ruins. At the request of Patty, deputy researcher at the ruins, Sakura and Hide return to Aveil. "This time, we want you two to check out "Ruins 267", nearly 50 miles from Ruins 374." When Sakura and Hide arrive in town, something happens. Pirates capture Mia, Manati, and Sumaki!
The two of them must go to Ruins 267 and save them!! D+Vine [LUV] has returned as a shooting game! The world and the game system itself follow its predecessor. In this shooting game, there are three different kinds of shots. We have also prepared a charge shot called "Rune Shot" and a bomb called "Rune Bomb." Attacks are extremely colorful. Once you save the fair maidens and return to town, heavenly bliss awaits you! With that in mind, destroy the pirates and return for the fun! Good luck!
There is an English review.
17. Univ ~Koi Hajimaru Yo~ univ ～恋・はじまるよっ～ [010525] Cocktail Soft
A story of college student and his life in the campus.
You have to study to make sure you pass the exam and graduate and find a part-time job to collect money to buy a gift for girls.
Pretty basic dating SIM with lots of efforts required and few events are presented in the form of reward. But the most important feature of the work is that it's possible to set required parameters and time will pass with activities selected automatically, so at least SIM part is simplified.
18. Vivre Kokoro kara no Egao Vivre 魂からの笑顔 [010525] Soup
A common male and female relationship. But she suddenly dies. Main character denies everything with grief and becomes despised. His lover continues to exist in this world as a ghost, and she wishes to see her former partner cheerful again. For that she is determined to get him a partner in school trip to Kyoto with the use of body possession.
Game takes 4 days and 3 nights, and one playthrough is as short as 1-2 hours. It's a zapping adventure, and as a ghost it's possible to possess various people. All this confusing synopsis is just a convenient way to bring upon lots of perverse situations with multiple people - don't really see any other meaning besides that in this camouflaged nukige.

1. Cast! -Private Heroine- CAST！-プライベートヒロイン- [010802] Bell-Da 1
Takumi Ogata enters Wakasagi-Gakuin, a school majoring in entertainment, to pursue his career as a writer. He meets three cute and aspiring actresses: The reliable and confident Akane, the shy and childish Saya, and the proud but gorgeous Mitsuru. Takumi decides to form a theatre with these unique and very talented girls.
They begin to prepare a play for the school festival, which will be held in October. Takumi falls in love with one of the girls as he writes and directs the play by himself. Unlike all those "get your favorite girl" games in the past, this is a game of love in progress, which means you have to develop the relationship between your favorite character and the hero. The new feature called "Story Edit Mode" lets the player choose the lines of the female characters in order to make your own storyline. The player also needs to take care of "night life" with the girls as well as daily conversations to get the best results!
There are three heroines, and one playthrough is just 2 hours. Picking right lines for the right scene make the bulk of daytime gameplay, H events occupy night time. Another unsatisfactory game from Bell-Da as it tries to catch mainstream by changing graphics and type to suit more people.
2. Kaen Seibo ~The Virgin on Megiddo~ 火焔聖母 ～The Virgin on Megiddo～ [010802] Studio Line 1
The year is 2013. Powerful companies decide to build a new city on a piece of land that remained from the old times, somewhere on the northeast of Japan. This city is constructed with the help of the most modern industry, based on an operation system that is capable to create the most progressive form of urban life - the so-called "intelligent city". But something goes wrong. It seems like a virus that creates a fire substance inside of human beings' bodies. The disease soon became known under the name "Spontaneous Human Combustion". Particularly one district of the newly built Izanami City seems suspicious. Kento Rando, a high school student and an apprentice detective, is given a mission to investigate the mysterious case. Seigai High School is going to be the principal area of investigation. Needless to say that in order to solve the case, Kento will have to find the best strategy talking to the beautiful high school female students...
Kaen Seibo is a Japanese-style adventure which relies largely on conversations and the choices you make during them. However, the game also contains elements of Western-style adventuring. There are items that must be found, picked up and used at appropriate moments. There are areas where you can move through a 3D-like environment, viewing it from first-person perspective. During the dialogues, you also have commands that are accessible through a menu. There are also segments with a time limit.
Quite simplistic Dreamcast exclusive.

Scenario is extremely short and is over in just 1.5 hours. Atmosphere is good, but there's not enough time and story feels incomplete. There are five heroines, each with three H events. BeF is known for its unique graphic style, and this work seems to exist just to take advantage of graphics.
7. Fight! Makoto ファイト！まこと [010810] Powered

Game is initially issued as a doujin, and that explains the quality of the game. The content is no way on par to Dousoukai franchise. Pretty much just a moege with emphasis on H.

End of 20th century. Bar "Ayakashi" in an ambiguous town actually serves as undercover base for monster exterminators. Main character gets a job here and drowns into the life of forbidden love and vile monsters.
Game has a long introduction. And when it finally says that now the story actually starts and actually target some heroine, it's only about 30% of content remains which drives you super fast and non-stop to the end. Atmosphere is good though.
16. Yuuyami no Warabeuta 夕闇の童詩 [010831] En

Gentle urban atmosphere is the biggest attraction of the game. Scenarios are pretty sad. Such mix of warmth and sadness can be appreciated by many people tired of logic and sophisticated stories.

Foreword: I spotted No Reality many-many years ago, but I lacked technical skills to play it properly - I had just one monitor back then, and game crashed at even sophisticated attempts to launch it in window mode or minimize in order to hook properly. Now with the help of agth and two monitors it's been a piece of cake. The most mysterious cyberpunk'ish game finally opened its doors for me.
Title: No Reality
Developer: Unknown

Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxqxQhirxgc
Synopsis: With the violent crime outburst government established "fixer" profession that compensates for security activities. Fixers receive individual cases for investigations, but they aren't given special rights which causes constant conflicts with the police over legality of means used.
Main character Neil Foxx is a fixer who used to be a detective. He has an innate special ability "ecstasy borders" to see with the eyes of the criminal upon touching a corpse. Several prostitutes are killed in a chain, and Neil is given a request to investigate it. It's yet to know that the case is going to develop in a series of terrible murders.
Structure: None
Length: 4 hours
Game type: Point-and-click detective cyberpunk-ish story.
Difficulty: Several times I was at a loss what and where to click, so walkthrough is recommended
Character Design rating: 9/10
Protagonist rating: 10/10
Story rating: 10/10
Game quality: 9/10
Overall rating: 9/10
Rating comments: I have just one complaint - absence of voicing. Apart of that it's a perfect game with great atmosphere, characters and dialogues.
Protagonist: Neil Foxx is a hardcore detective. It's a rare mystery game where protagonist really investigates himself at every step and moves the story with just his force. He's got a face, so there's no need to try and take on his boots. He's absolutely separate from the reader.
Characters: I rated characters as 9/10 because game is too short and linear to have the time for heroines. But heroines are all mature and free-spirited. Noone chases after anyone - characters act individually, and only sometimes intersect. Only half of heroines have H scenes at all, because it's a story-focused game. I'd like to specially emphasis existence of hard-boiled men as characters - detective partner Joe Bertran and police chief Bert Randolf. What's most surprising for me is the appearance of protagonist's assistant Ryouko Shinjou at the front of the game cover. She basically just searches her cat for the whole game! Well, she and her cat are the only things mentioned in epilogue, but that does not make her important at all! She's got great looks and costume, that's basically it. Still, a great cast.
Story: It's hard to say anything about the story beyond the synopsis. We basically just inspect the corpse, talk with everyone gathering clues and progressively getting access to new areas. All these activities are not separate, but just one seamless narration process, accessed via point-and-click. At times unexpected events happen giving more leads, but that's all I can really tell about the story.
CG: Graphics is fabulous. CG are very different giving special angles and focusing on some items sometimes. Great variety.
Sound: General BGM is rhythmic, but special moments and ending BGM is much more pleasant, so there's no bad aftertaste.
Thoughts:
1) It looks like company title was chosen just for this one single game they were going to produce. Game actually has allusions to both Unknown and No reality themes, and I really appreciate it when strange title is explained during the game.
2) Unfortunately game can not be honestly called a cyberpunk. It has its atmosphere, but not attributes. It's a night city with emphasis on night life, and there are computers and lots of screens around, but apart of that no high-tech advances.
3) Game really looks and feels like EVE series. Neil detective office-warehouse is almost exact mirrored version of Koijiro's den. Here and there point-and-click is used. Both are low cyberpunk detective stories (EVE has genetics in the core of the story, so it's more advanced this way). Even graphics looks very much alike. No Reality is a must have for any EVE fan. In my opinion No reality and Unknown are also used to show that visual novel industry has stagnated after EVE series failing to produce same level stories. And this is an attempt to push the industry in the right direction again as it's possible to make high quality story games even without huge budget or voicing.
Overall comments: No reality is a great example that even small company can create a high quality story. It won't sell as good as a game with a famous artist or 12 routes for all the heroines, but it will become the core of the medium, a work that the company can be proud of.
The only masterpiece of the month is Cosmos no Sora ni, and YES, I'm going to review a nakige!
1. Nakoruru ~Ano Hito kara no Okurimono~ ナコルル～あのひとからのおくりもの～ [010706] Inter-Let's 1
This game tells the story of one of the characters from SNK's popular fighting series Samurai Spirits: the girl Nakoruru. She comes from Kamuikotan, a small village on Japan's most northern island, Hokkaido, which is populated by Ainu, a nation with its own culture and traditions. The time of the game is set somewhere between the fighting tournaments where Nakoruru participates. She comes back to her home village, but the village elder sense evil, and her friends are worried about her. This is where you enter the picture - you play Mikato, a little girl who was told by the village elder to keep an eye on Nakoruru. The relationship between Mikato, Nakoruru, and other village inhabitants form the core of the game's story.
Lots of difficult mini-games. Ending does not change despite flags captured. 8 chapters only enough for 5-6 hours of playtime. OVA is pretty much the same story.
2. Pure ~Pure~ Pure ～ピュア～ [010706] Psycho
Main character receives a huge heritage after parents death. He finds a strange girl Yurika in the basement. Girl does not remember anything, and protagonist decides to keep her at his place for the time being.
Bakage with lots of parodies, but certain level of industry knowledge is needed to recognize those. Player needs to select map locations, but it's not show who's present where, so it's troublesome. Story is light and non-memorable.
3. Yoshia no Oka de Nekoronde... 吉亜の丘で寝ころんで… [010706] Mesa
Main character used to be a best-seller writer, but lost ability to write good stories after getting sexual disability. He decides to go to hot springs resort to find his hidden self and try to get rid of his deficiency.
Game is short, and is over after H event with one of seven heroines. What's weird is that heroines are absolutely disposable here, dying on parting afterwards. One route takes an hour, first time slightly more.
4. Echeross えちぇろす [10713] Puchiyu~mi
One day main character gets a request from a girl to defeat the alien parasite on the human brain. He initially refuses, but after seeing the effect with his own eyes agrees to save the Earth together.
Straightforward fighting game that's over in less than an hour. Gameplay is ok, text and H scenes not so good.
5. Heart Full Calendar はーとFULLカレンダー [10713] Selenade
Main character confesses at the time of the graduation ceremony. School bells have marked the beginning of a romance relationship.
Cheap game that lasts for a year to experience all the holidays in a relationship with a girl. Scedule of H events, the absence of story and the mediocrity of the gameplay don't leave this game any chances.
6. Nyante Chaton にゃんてCHATON [010719] Rune 1
You've been a doing nothing ever since graduating from high school. One summer day, your father, the owner of a famous restaurant, "Chanter Chaton," orders you to work there. You comply with his orders. "Chanter Chaton" is famous for its taste, the service, and the waitresses' uniforms. The first floor is a simple cafeteria and the second floor has a very strange feeling to it. This restaurant is so popular; it's hard to approach the girls. One way of approaching the girls is to help them out when they make mistakes.
This is an adventure game in which you will meet cute girls in cute uniforms working in a restaurant cafe. This game involves using the "Tip" system. Depending on where you (the hero) are assigned to work, you will experience different events. Use the "Tip" system to choose the assignment you want. (Your favorite girl might be there!) There are a total of six girls in this game: Honami Adachi, an idol in training, her friend, Yoshino Watase, the store manager's daughter, Momo Hikone, a college student, Midori Soya, your under-classmate, Riyo Mochizuki, and the head waitress, Futaba Kakegawa. You have a very short amount of time (until your training is over) to win the girl of your dreams.
Pia Carrot bad clone. Just a moege with this tips system. Period is only 20 days.
7. Sayonara no Hohoemi 2 ~Kioku no Tsubasa ni Miserarete~ さよならの微笑み2～記憶の翼に魅せられて～ [010719] K'Night!
Main characters takes part in a school circle to build a human-powered aircraft for the summer tournament in a month's time. Collision of minds, sour and sweet emotions fill their everyday life.
Game with unique atmosphere and lots of gags. There are 14 normal endings and 2 True endings.
8. Tadaima Shugyouchuu! ただいま修行中！ [010719] Fish Cafe
Fantasy world filled with magic. Main character shares griefs and joys with village girls and aims to become a real wizard.
The actual SIM part is very simple here. You just choose contents of lesson and the girl to study with, and parameters grow equally. Game mostly focuses on everyday life scenes which gets quite annoying by the middle of it. There are 3 heroines + 2 hidden ones. Game period is 10 weeks.
9. Tenteko Onsen Jidaigeki ~Kameya~ てんてこ温泉時代劇 ～亀屋～ [010719] Lily Bell
Kenta is the third son who runs a shop in Edo. One day his parents become owners of a bankrupt hot-spring ryokan "Kameya" and insist that Kenta assists them here. Kenta only agrees to leave Edo on condition that he would return if can successfully restore the ryokan in a year's time.
Management SIM part is the same in each route and quite simple. But there are as many as 16 (!) heroines, so it's a decisive victory of quantity over quality.
10. Himitsu ~Yui ga Ita Natsu~ 秘密 ～唯がいた夏～ [010726] Merlot 1
Childhood friends, a boy and a girl lose touch over their adolescent years, only to meet up once again as young adults. Similar to the broad storyline found in Love Hina, a vow was made in those early years to find each other as they grow older. Five anime maidens supply the romantic interaction and association in this dating adventure.
Wait a minute... it's exactly Tremolo, it even uses same CG. H scenes cut, but it does not make it any different.
11. Missing Blue [010726] Tonkin House 1
At Seiryou high school, second year student Masamura Kouji leads a stready, but busy life, alongside with humble and quiet childhood friend Ritsuki Saya and senior student Nishizuku Ruuna.
One day, a transfer student, Kasuga Mizuki, appears and hands over a mysterious crystal while uttering enigmatic words : "Please remember...". While being certain the two of them never met, the main protagonist feels they somehow did. A peculiar connection ?
Spiritual successor of L no Kisetsu boasting of up to 100 hours requirement for full completion. But it's academic love story without much excitement or fancy in the plot department. And I wound not want to read the story where hardly anything happens for dozens of hours.
12. Only You -Re Cross- Only you -リ・クルス- [010726] Alice Soft 1
One day an evil mark appears on Magami Yuuji's right arm. To protect the earth from the ancient, world-destroying evil which is honing in on it, the governments send assassins after Yuuji.
To protect eight precious girls, and on advice from his Master Tiger Joe, he decides to fight - against the entire world, if necessary.
Not that much different from original game. There is an English article on changes.
13. Cosmos no Sora ni 秋桜の空に [010727] Marron 1
Time of school festival. While most students are eager to show their spirits, main character who lost his memory in the childhood pays all his attention to five girls with scars on their hearts.
A classic nakige with first part being comical and second serious. But the problem here is that serious part dwells not that much on drama or trauma, but mostly just on memory. So it's not really a game that makes cry. Probably the most memorable feature of this game is awesome spoilt imouto.
14. Itoshi no Kotodama 愛しの言霊 [010727] Silky's
Koga Shigemaro is a young man with an extraordinary gift. He can see and talk to spirits. Most of those spirits are deceased people with regrets and because of that, they can't move on to the "after life". With the help of his grandfather, an exorcist, he helps them to fulfill their last desires...
Game difficulty is high as there are different conditions for heroines. Game is troublesome and fails to create an atmosphere. After all it's required to have some occult tolerance to try to enjoy this work.
15. My Fair Angel マイ・フェア・エンジェル [010727] Studio e.go! 1 2
There is an alchemist at a certain place. Great effort and talent are necessary to be an alchemist and there are only a few in one country. This alchemist has a disciple. He is young and talented so that there is nothing left to teach. Therefore, his master decides to make a Homunculus and make him raise it. He is tested not only an ability as an alchemist but also his ability to raise a child as a parent. How will he raise his child...?
There is an English review.

Foreword: It's a non-voiced nakige, so I'm ill-suited to evaluate such game. But it proved to be a masterpiece even in my pretentious eyes. Game does not have a true route, so according to my review codex I only play two routes for such games - one for the heroine that seems to be the main heroine and one for the heroine that I like the most from the rest of the heroines. That's Suzuka and Haruhi routes for me. Three omake side stories are of purely comical nature and are not touched in order not to affect main story impression.

Length: 5 hours per route, five routes overall + 3 short omake stories
Game type: Comedy school nakige
Difficulty: There are over 50 choices per route. Most are fake ones, of course, but I'd better follow a walkthrough.
Character Design rating: 8/10
Protagonist rating: 7/10
Story rating: 6/10
Game quality: 7/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Rating comments: After finishing Suzuka route game did not feel like a masterpiece to me. But Haruhi route was a total blast easily skyrocketing the score to 8/10 range or even higher. About that further on.
Protagonist: Niizawa Yasuomi is a great protagonist due to his prankster nature. He keeps on flipping skirts and setting pranks. His memory problems only occur for the last 1/10th of the game suddenly turning a comedy game into a nakige.
Characters: Heroines here belong to distinctive archetypes: childhood friend Suzuka, tsundere Haruhi, quiet weak Wakana, teacher Hiyori, shrine maiden onee-san Uiko. I played only Suzuka and Haruhi routes. Suzuka reminds me main heroine of To Heart Akari the most. Serious and caring, she wakes Yasuomi each morning, cooks for him, all that stuff. Her route had several nice humorous scenes, but overall Suzuka is too kind and forgiving to react at pranks. Her drama part is also forced, fast and without any surprises.
But then I played Haruhi route... and that was totally from a different league. As tsundere, she explodes at even the mildest jokes and starts chasing Yasuomi. She's just superfun to play pranks on. Somehow, I'm not tired of tsundere characters yet, and she's less generic tsundere as she does not uses "betsuni" and the like words. She's also really pretty and has both swimming suit and maid themes to develop. Her serious nakige part had an emotional impact on me, especially because her route has two endings with songs in a row very different from each other. That's all I can hint without spoiling much.
Story: Just going to school for till some 25th October, then dealing with memory problems. Various events before/during/after school make the bulk of the game. There's just a small touch of madness with mad scientist and his robots.
CG: There aren't many CG, but the quality is adequate. Just one H scene per heroine and one common bath scene.
Title and Themes: Title only is being hinted in the opening song, but is not reflected during the game.
Overall comments: It's a great nakige game with very nice characters, but it's indeed difficult to write about the game. There are couple dozen of Japanese positive reviews, but they are also inarticulate when in comes to explaining why game is good. What I only mean to say is that it's a huge feat to make a masterpiece charage/nakige without voicing, through character traits and jokes alone. Long live Marron and its following two games without voicing...
This month does not have masterpieces. I did not like the game and the anime, but there's nothing to choose from this month, so ok, Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~ will pass for now. I will review the game with an interesting concept - Ano Sora no Mukougawa
1. Love Songs ♪ ADV: Futaba Riho 19-sai ~Fuyu~ LoveSongs♪アドベンチャー 双葉理保19歳〜冬〜 [041103] HuneX
Riho graduates from high school and lives a life of a progressive girl paying enough attention both to love and work. Currently she is a radio star presenting consultation program. She is asked to give lectures at a high school. Her heartful story of tears and laughs begins.
A foolish and absolutely story-less game based just on the looks and bright package of cute Riho. I'd call it a fandisk, to be honest.
2. The Suiri ~Soshite Dare mo Inakunatta~ THE推理 〜そして誰もいなくなった〜 [041103] Tomcat System
New cases along with a remake of the cases on the older games, now including voice acting.
Continuation of crappy detective excercise
3. Mutsuboshi Kirari 六ツ星きらり [041105] Chise
An ancient town in the alternative modern Japan.
Main character is a sophomore student dating a girl. Both of them join the famous astronomy department. Protagonist is fascinated with the mysterious female head of the club who organizes night star-gazing trips frequently. He decides to date both girls, because it's youth time when everything's possible.
Every astronomy game feels weak unless it's masterfully done. And this particular game is mediocre at best, so overall impression is poor. There some slapstic, some drama, some cheating, but nothing really memorable. An average youth comedy.
4. Phantomphobia ~Ikai~ Phantomphobia ~異界~ [041115] Nidhogg
A Fullmetal Alchemist fan-made game. It was intended to be the first part of a story which would be concluded in the second part: Phantomphobia Shinri. However, the latter ended up being a remake rather than a continuation. Though both games follow the same premise, the actual storylines are very different. Summary: After a failed alchemy experiment, Edward wakes up in a parallel world where alchemy is forbidden and Al has still his human shape. He soon gets into trouble with the military and the new Fuhrer, and is forced to work for them, investigating a secret organization. At the same time, he must find a way to return to his world. The game includes light BL romance between Ed and either Al, Roy or Envy.
Hating Fullmetal Alchemist franchise with all my heart. Guess you'll easily find English release reviews without me.
5. Gakuen Alice ~DokiDoki★Fushigi Taiken~ 学園アリス〜ドキドキ☆不思議たいけん〜 [041118] Kids Station
A game with an original story set in the Alice Festival.
No idea about the anime, so pass for this GBA exclusive.
6. Magical Tale まじかる☆ている [041119] Patissier
In this love simulation, you play as Lucian, a student at a magic school who's been transformed by a curse into younger form and must now attend classes with young girls. As you attend class, you'll get to know eight personable heroines.
Moege that would be blocked for lolicon reasons if not the ps2 release.
7. Ojamajo Adventure: Naisho no Mahou おジャ魔女あどべんちゃ~「ないしょのまほう」 [041119] Amada Printing Mfg. Co., Ltd
Spin-off that takes place in the setting of Ojamajo Doremi Dokkaan!
Majo Rhythm has come to the Human World to learn about the life there. While there she gets to know the Ojamajo and befriends them.
A game for 3-year-old girls?
8. Katakamuna ~Ushinawareta Ingaritsu~ 片神名 ～喪われた因果律～ [041125] Alchemist 1
The story-line follows a high school student who is magically transported from his summer camp to ancient Japan.
He will need to meet new friends and and solve the mystery of time jump.
Game with a decent story up to the middle, then the tempo increases suddenly to reach a forced ending. Length feels too short to be able to produce a great game.
9. Tenkuu Danzai Skelter Heaven 天空断罪 スケルターヘブン [041125] Design Factory Co., Ltd. 1 2
Wet Prope is a military project to create artificially-enhanced super-soldiers, capable of piloting large, powerful mechs known as Skelters. The project has seen both success and failure -- early attempts to create male soldiers failed, while later attempts to create female subjects showed far more promise -- but in recent years, almost half a dozen successful subjects have been produced. In the year 2030, 15 years after the project was initiated, it has become time to prove its worth; hostile squid-like alien creatures have begun appearing, and there's nobody else capable of fighting them. Tenkū Danzai Skelter Heaven is a sci-fi visual novel with very light rhythm game elements. The player takes the role of Otsuya, part of the Wet Prope project and the direct commander of the pilots. The game mostly proceeds as semi-voiced text and graphics, with occasional dialogue choices influencing the story and Otsuya's relationship with the pilots. Battle scenes play out from a first-person view from the cockpit; targets approach the center of the screen from different directions, and the player must press the correct buttons at the right time to "assist" the pilot. Performance in these sections also affects the outcome of the story.
Presentation is poor, and there's no depth.
10. Ano Sora no Mukougawa あの空の向こう側 [041126] High Soft
Main character starts to date his classmate Miho with the mediation of childhood friend Sayaka. Miho often looks at the sky and prays to it as if in ritual. After the first real date Miho disappears, and another girl Misa with the same surname takes her place. Misa claims that Miho died in a traffic accident while they were children. In this world only protagonist, Sayak and friend Yuki remember grown-up Miho. Is it possible to return to the original world with Miho alive?
I'm reviewing this game anyway, so will elaborate next time.
11. Death☆Meta です☆めた [041126] Sincere 1
Things just couldn’t get any worse for Kasuma Nao. All his life, he’s been cursed to experience pain and suffering: from the death of his mother, to the misery of being an absolute loser. Thus when he learns of a means to summon a demonic creature and bind it into granting a single wish, he seizes the opportunity. Unfortunately everything suddenly goes wrong, and he only gains a fraction of the powers he desired, but with all its limitations. Now cursed as a “demi-vampire”, he is forced to somehow use what abilities he has gained, and forge a means to survive in undeath… or face a second death of utter damnation.
There is an English review.
12. Kaze no Keishousha 風の継承者 [041126] Studio e.go!
Main character has an ability to see things not noticed by anyone like ghosts and monsters. Eventually he starts to work as a detective to be able to use his abilities for the benefit of other people. One day he meets a girl-like spirit who has no memory of her past. He can't send her to police since she's not a human. The two start to live together. At the same time, more and more spirits start to appear and trigger various incidents. What's the purpose of it all?
TRPG with 4+1 endings. One of the shortest rpg games out there absolutely doable in 10 hours. Almost everything is revealed in the first lap, so there's little motivation to go on. Main character's personality is pretty cool, looks much like Koijiro from EVE series. Game balance is pretty bad. Alas, there is no excitement in the story and the flow.
13. Kuutei Senki ~Tasogare ni Shizumu Kusabi~ 空帝戦騎～黄昏に沈む楔～ [041126] Eushully 1 2
Kuutei Senki is set in a world composed of floating islands, oppressive kingdoms and the air pirates that fight against them. The player gets to choose one of four different factions and follow that faction's story to the end. Along the way, we meet allies, enemies, and interesting rivals that make the journey easier or slightly more challenging. To top things off, the game also features a board game-based battle system that pits airships against each other, with mission objectives that must be fulfilled in order to move on.
We have four different pirate factions to choose from in KuuSen, each with a peculiar main cast. To start we have the crew of the Giltinia, that being Gaven, Anastasia and Shade. The player takes the role of Gaven. Our protagonist awakes after what seems to be a long sleep with no memory of his past. The only clues to who he is are revealed by a bandaged man named Shade. Along for the ride comes a cute little bat/cat thing named Anastasia, though Gaven and Shade decide to call her Nasta.
There are English reviews.
14. Miko Mai ~Tada Hitotsu no Negai~ 巫女舞～ただ一つの願い～ [041126] etude
The protagonist visits his hometown Miyagou Village for the first time in 10 years because the only rail line that connects to the village is about to be discontinued, when that happens, he will not be able to come back here again. So before that happens, he wants to go back to the place he was born one last time.
After he arrived, he called his friend who was supposed to let him borrow a place to stay, but was surprised to hear that he has moved to Nagoya. As he was walking around the village, he was reunited with his osananajimi Natsuki. After explaining his situation to her, she bought him to Kusakabe shrine where she worked as a miko and allowed him to stay there. And so starts his life living with mikos.
Relaxed summer atmosphere, four heroines full of troubles and one True character. Game is divided into two main parts - before the festival and after the festival, so the structure is easy to understand. Only the first part is somewhat interesting while the second one is a bore-fest with only main heroine having some intrigue. The true route is actually nice as it shares the endings of four people, but not sure many people will get motivation to reach it. Scenario lacking excitement kills the game.
15. Tenkuu no Symphonia 天空のシンフォニア [041126] Cocktail Soft
Main character returns after magical study to the house where his teacher and sister live. Somehow, teacher seems to be out and the man who stays at his place demands to be taught magic by the teacher's will. One day an unknown monster appears in the garden. Heroes start practicing witch skills at defeating monsters. Soon the true meaning of nurturing witches become clear ...
A raising SIM from Cocktail Soft - why are'n I excited. Carlisle's afro head is the most exciting thing about this game, and that's wrong for a galge. 5 heroines. 6 month training. Events to raise favorability and battles. It's all terribly boring. The absence of voice makes this game a total fail.
16. Touji no Sato 杜氏の郷 [041126] HeartBring
You play as Shinya, who was feeling reluctant about his mothers remarriage, but it wasn’t like he had much choice in the matter (she’s always been an over-working career-woman). Your new father, who owns a brewing company/warehouse, decides that you shall take over the family business whether you like it or not--seeing since you’re the only son of the new family. Sure their intentions are good, but it’s still a hassle. At least your new step-sisters turn out to be cute twins, so we suppose it isn’t too bad. It seems that the only thing you’re in control of in this new setting is which girl to go out with; will it be the class-rep (who’s family runs a restaurant in town), or her best friend (who’s the daughter of another brewing company owner), or perhaps you’ll go for something even kinkier such as the twins?
Game reminds Yukizakura in a lot of ways. It's neither a comedy, a moege or a nakige. Instead, it's there just to enjoy conversations with girls. But there are so many SOL scenes that it all gets monotonous. Some heroine routes like Sanae's stand out for more elaborate scenario. The friendship theme is so nauseating that singing friendship hymn at the ending scenes looks just silly. It feels like a D.O. game, but fails to reach same quality.
17. Yakimochi Twin Bell やきもちツインベル [041126] Giga 1
Since the mutual death of their parents in a fatal accident, Souchi has lived with two beautiful twin sisters, maturing with them as the most cherished of friends. For years it has been an ideal platonic relationship, but things become incredibly complex when one of them admits her romantic feelings for Souchi, only to have the second do the same the next night. While unwilling to see anyone’s heartbroken, Souchi must now decide what is best for himself… no matter how difficult that decision might be.
There is an English review.
18. Planetarian ~Chiisana Hoshi no Yume~ Planetarian ～ちいさなほしのゆめ～ [041129] Key 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

One such Junker sneaks alone into the most dangerous of all ruins -- a "Sarcophagus City". In the center of this dead city, he discovers a pre-War planetarium. And as he enters he is greeted by Hoshino Yumemi, a companion robot. Without a single shred of doubt, she assumes he is the first customer she's had in 30 years. She attempts to show him the stars at once, but the planetarium projector is broken. Unable to make heads or tails of her conversation, he ends up agreeing to try and repair the projector...

Foreword: I have a very strange history with Bittersweet Fools. I started playing it about two years ago, and finished it only a year later. But the most important question is why this first minori game neglected that much? I believe I know the answer to this question.
Title: Bittersweet Fools
Developer: minori
Date: 2001-08-31
VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v164
Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CYqHFsKP-M&list=PLEJNtz1D9CPU6cTE85DdrBMeNWyN5EEbX
Synopsis: The protagonist is Alan, a former mafia assassin. He was required to go into hiding after a job and is now living in Florence, Italy. His days of peace and quiet comes to an end when he meets with the granddaughter of a mafia leader...
Structure: 22 chapters
Length: Some 30 hours
Game type: Mafia in the hiding slice-of-life
Difficulty: Easy. There is just one choice that leads to a dead end, and the rest only determine additional scenes and CG.
Character Design rating: 6/10
Protagonist rating: 6/10
Story rating: 7/10
Game quality: 6/10
Overall rating: 6/10
After all, I can't write a proper structured review of this game, mostly because I finished it about a year ago and also because I had huge pauses between the chapters. Here's my full story about it.
First I read couple chapters in Japanese back then and was totally confused by this game. It was a horrible experience. Ugly sprites, bad game system, no voicing, lack of action on the screen. I just could not get characters seriously. Then I installed the English patch for the first chapter, and thanks to first chapter in English I actually got some charm of the game and could at least start focusing on ugly drawn characters. I could not force myself to play after several chapters, so it was put on hold at my notebook. Then one day I had power outrage, and there was little else to do but to play the only game I had at notebook at that time - Bittersweet Fools. It was also the game that got me drowsy in no time. Then at the next power cut I went on with the story and so on. Just imagine the number and longevity of power shutdowns at my place if I was able to invest about 30 hours into this game! It's unbelievable, but I was still able to finish the game - but I wouldn't be under normal circumstances, because it's a hellishly long story about nothing. Mafia gang just sits at a conspiration flat, and every time they go out for a walk they find some trouble. That's the plot for 21 horribly long chapters! And in the last chapter they try to run away and face rival gang finally. Sprites drawing is appalling, and CG only happen once per several hours.
I read some impression somewhere that it's high literature here, so common folks won't be able to enjoy it. And it may indeed be so! Text here is indeed very well written, slice-of-life scenes are pleasant to read. But I'm absolutely sure that it's impossible to enjoy them in PC versions, because without voicing situations here feel artificial. But then I learned that PS2 and DC versions have voicing, and changed my view on the game entirely. With voicing I can finally enjoy slice-of-life scenes that provide for 95% of the game time. So I tried to play this game again with voicing and translation... but miserably failed at that. PS2 version can not be hooked, since there are text threads, but no memory threads for changing text found, and it's totally not worth it to find each phrase manually. With DC version I was able to get text only with Demul emulator. I perfectly see changing text memory threads here, but there's another problem - Demul just shuts down my pc in 5-10 minutes time. I tried different versions, plugins, overclocking, but pc still shuts down when memory threads are parsed by Cheating Engine + Hook any text. Without memory hooking it seems to work normally (but I did not check for longer times). And that fiasco made me include not my video playthrough link, but some Japanese one.
I believe that voice version is the ONLY way this game can be enjoyed, thus there are so few reviews. PC version is plain bad, and Repackage version from 2005 is humiliating since it's not a reverse port from PS2 or DC, but the same 2001 PC zero voice version just with music repacked.
So it's actually a very sincere good game that's never going to be appreciated in the West, because of minori attempts to have nothing to do with the West ever by keeping console releases only for consoles and suing anyone trying to patch their games. Game title really suits minori following policy.
Eve: The Fatal Attraction has no rivals this month. Among other masterpieces I'll call Memories Off 2nd. I'll be reviewing Rije ~Saisei no Ubugoe~.
1. Itsuka no Sora いつかの空 [010907] Sweet Basil 1
Our hero is a sophomore college student living by himself. He has a childhood friend that is a girl, but he doesn't have a real girlfriend. His hope of finding someone special is fading away when his part time job eats up his time. Then he meets Eri, who happens to have lost her memory. The encounter with Eri leads our hero towards his destiny and forces him to search for his true identity...
System and town real time change impress, but at the expense of game content. Each of seven heroines has only 4-5 events resulting in short individual routes. Voice actors recompensate for that only partially.
2. Love Hina Advance ~Shukufuku no Kane wa Naru kana~ ラブひなアドバンス 祝福の鐘はなるかな [010907] Marvelous Interactive 1 2
In this game, you take the role of Urashima Keitaro, who’s been rejected from entering Tokyo University for the second year running making him, what the Japanese call, a ronin. To make things worse, his parents have kicked him out of his house. Fortunately, his Grandmother owns the nearby inn and Keitaro thought this would be the perfect place to live and work as the landlord. Or so he thought. He finds out that the building is no longer an inn and is in fact a girls’ dorm making him the only guy around! Most guys would kill to live with six cute girls, but if Keitaro’s not careful, this job will kill him…
There are English reviews.
3. Furimuite Cool Eye's 振り向いてCOOL Eye’S [010914] Parade
School manga research club is in pinch! It only has three members and will have to disband unless two more members are found within a month. Main character should also recruit only among the girls in order not to repeat last year's mistake when a lot of people had to quit the club due to romantic problems. Is it possible to save the club?
Unfortunately, scenario is thin, and it's more like fast confession, then H to imbue desire to participate in the club activities. Graphics are beautiful.
4. Ichigo-Da いちご打 [010914] Witch 1
Cafe Milkyway plans to have an event with dessert dishes called, "Strawberry Festival." Remi Tojo designs the special costumes for this event. However, the costumes she designed are very strange, and her co-worker, Sakuya, makes fun of her and her costumes. To get revenge, Remi orders Sakuya to play an evil character called "Ichigon." The Ichigon costume is made of an artificial strawberry, and Remi will eat up the costume every time Sakuya disobeys her orders. This is a story of fighting between Remi, who is nuts about strawberries, and the other Milkyway workers, who hate her strange costumes and try to stop Remi from taking all the strawberries.
In the end everything gets to typing strip battle.
5. Prism Sound プリズムサウンド [010914] Airyu
Main character tried to gather friends for a band to make "shining sound" together. That dream was forgotten, but now a year later he repeats that attempt. There are very few choices. Unique character design is the main appeal point. Scenario is just right in order not to get bored, but it's mostly thanks to support cast and not the heroines.
6. Review of Brind Summer Vacation レビューオフ Brind Summer Vacation [010914] Sight
Main character is an upcoming manga writer with one magical girl story to receive anime adaptation. He organizes a party to meet offline with the fans. Thirteen people have gathered, but even though nicknames are known, noone knows each others faces. What will come out of this party?
It's a pure love story about first experience, so with little H and quite a boring overall. There are as many as 12 heroines. Lots of bugs and graphical glitches even with patch applied.
7. Ame Yadori 雨やどり [010918] E.G.O.
Time starts to flow very fast with every day being busy and without a moment to spare. Main character sees a girl stilling alone in the rain and lends her a hand. Girl's name is Mio.
This is a heartwarming story about three girls with cat ears (plus two normal heroines), but the quantity and darkness of H scenes easily writes this game into nukige department. First five days are given for common route and last five days for heroine route. Quite a specialized work trying to appeal to different players.
8. Prism Palette プリズムパレット [010920] Broccoli
A love adventure simulator that follows the adventures of the main character Masaki Shirai while he lives a peaceful school life surrounded by beautiful classmates.
A normal school SIM with everyday schedule and stuff.
9. Igougata Kyokuchi Geigeki Tenshi Nanako ~Kaku Tatakaeri, Otome-tachi~ イ号型局地迎撃天使NANAKO～かく戦えり、乙女達～ [010921] Ape & Frog
Humans have built a huge defensive city 3000 meters underground to save themselves from mysterious "vector" enemies. However, as resources get exhausted in constant battles, humankind throws last funds into new type of weapon IMA-01 Nanako. This weapon is given to main character as the last hope for survival.
RPG with heroines looking like cosplayers. Each day is divided into four sections to perform commands. And there is also H training of girls ... how else would they learn new magic and skills?
10. Little Monica Monogatari リトルモニカ物語 [010921] Rune
The town of Little Monica is famous for its vast culture of arts, especially music. Will is an orphan who used to live with his three friends in Little Monica, however he has long since moved out of the town. Many years later, Will decides to go back to the town to see his three friends: Celia, Mei, and Tina. Upon arrival, Will is surprised to discover that Little Monica is no longer the very cultural city it used to be. Instead, no music is allowed in the city...
H event triggers the very first day and pretty much every day after that, so it's a nukige under innocent cover. Stupid incidents happen to the sisters like UFO and the like making up for a comedy. In the end it's nothing but an ero-tilt moege.
11. Eve: The Fatal Attraction EVE: The Fatal Attraction [010927] C's Ware 1
"Eve: The Fatal Attraction" is a chapter in EVE series, and is based on the hentai PC game Adam: The Double Factor. Its scenario was expanded in this game up to the point of being a sequel to "Adam". It adds many Eve: Burst Error and Eve: The Lost One references, lots of new events, 2 more days and proper ending to the game.
You control the two main heroes of the game, the young careless detective Kojiroh and the sexy red-haired super-spy Marina. The events of the game are connected to their previous investigation (in Eve Burst Error). Kojiroh's ex-girlfriend and colleague, Yayoi Katsuragi, receives a case: somebody is threatening the life of two young girls, Mika and Miki, the daughters of the owner of the powerful Andou Corporation. Naturally, Yayoi needs Kojiroh's help, and here the investigation truly begins! Like in other Eve games, you control two characters in two "scenarios", and sometimes the cooperation between them is necessary. The game utilizes the same "Touchable View" that was implemented in "Adam": you interact with the environment and with the characters not by selecting menu options, but by moving the cursor around and clicking on objects, like in Western point-and-click adventures.
I already reviewed the game earlier.
12. Memories Off 2nd [010927] KID 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
The protagonist is a 17-year-old student, Ken Inami, a soccer loving dude who aspires to go to film school. His girlfriend Hotaru Shirakawa also has high aspirations; having played piano ever since she was a child, she aims to go to music school. Ken and Hotaru have been dating for a spell and are at a rocky juncture in their relationship. This is where the game gets interesting. You can either make decisions to salvage Ken's relationship with Hotaru or chase after another girl.
There are English reviews.
13. Z.O.E. 2173 Testament ゾーン オブ エンダーズ 2173 テスタメント [010927] Konami 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
The story is set within the Zone of the Enders universe. It is 2173 and humankind, in the search for a valuable resource called Metatron, has expanded its reaches to Mars and the moons of Jupiter, and full colonies have been established. However, Earth keeps a tight reign over the colonials, known by the derogatory term "Enders", and discrimination is commonplace. Food supplies are short, movement of citizens is controlled, and many Mars inhabitants have tried to rise up against Earth, but to little avail.
The game follows the story of a 17-year old boy named Cage Midwell, a worker upon the interplanetary express ship "Bonaparte III" with his close friend (and idol) Ares Enduwa. However, on a routine journey, Cage spots a woman creeping into the cargo holds, and follows her. As he does this, the ship is attacked by a powerful black Orbital Frame. Cage and the girl, who introduces herself as Myona Alderan, climb into a mysterious LEV held within the ship and escape, eventually crash-landing on Mars. They are quickly caught and are accused of being the ones responsible for the crash. On top of this, Myona has completely lost her memory. However, shortly after their imprisonment, they are freed by an "Anti-Terrestrial League" leader called Deckson Geyse. His faction, BIS (Born In Space), quickly come and rescue them, and Cage finds himself caught up in the escalating conflict between Earth and Mars.
There are English reviews.
14. Ashita mo Kitto Hare 明日もきっと晴れ♪ [010928] Forte
Main character goes to school in a small seaside town. Swimming, sunbathing, culture festival... there are many events to enjoy in summer. Tomorrow will definitely be sunny. Almost zero difficulty, just raising favorability is enough. Genre is comedy. Six heroines overall with short routes and almost no H events. But bonus 7th scenario is unexpectedly good.
15. Crescendo ~Eien Dato Omotte Ita Ano Koro~ Crescendo ～永遠だと思っていたあの頃～ [010928] D.O. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

Now the day of graduation draws near, and Ryou knows that he must prepare himself to make a choice.

16. Kanojo no Negau Koto. Boku no Omou Koto 彼女の願うこと。ぼくの思うこと。 [010928] Project-μ 1
Luke lost the vision of his left eye as a child. Although he can't see with that eye, he has the ability to read people's minds. Because of this power, he stays away from society; he gets emotionally disturbed when he reads people's minds. One day however, a young boy named Rickie is reflected in his eye. Rickie is a lost soul wondering around. One day, he meets a girl carrying a black cat. This girl's name is Mikage, and she changes his life. Luke also happens to meet a girl named Mitsuki. He starts to see the world more openly. Luke and Rickie. . .
Two boys from parallel dimensions, who eventually merge into one. This is an AVG game using two characters as a single identity. On Rickie's side, there are other characters besides Mikage. You'll find Keri, the girl who looks like Mikage but has a completely different personality, and the mysterious girl, Tory. The new system in this game is called the, "S-Cube system." It's an evolution of digital comics, and it is a completely new system. This is a "new type" of game, not only because of the system, but also because you're using two characters as one identity. If you're looking for something new, this is the game for you!
Best thing in the game is theater-imitating ever-changing perspective. Protagonist is divided and main aim of the game is searching for oneself. Game also features many comedy elements even though individual stories are quite dark. An experimental work for those unsatisfied with the state of the industry.
17. Koumaroku 降魔録 [010928] Tama-Soft
Legendary spiritual festival "Sekairoko Peak" gathered and sealed a lot of demons in one place. Due to an ancient curse various monster incidents started to occur in the vicinity.
Thanks to existence of "demonist" monks curse never spread outside its initial location. Main character is one of demonists who uses his skills to defeat demons. Two women always accompany him in his travels. Any day demon seal may break, and such demon hunters are the only hope of the world.
There are only two heroines to capture, but each has lots and lots of H scene patters, including tentacles. The number of endings is four. The actual atmosphere and contents of the game are inspirational and really about demon fighting. Music is great here. It's a chunige, and I like it despite the ero-tilt.
18. Love Negotiator ラブ・ネゴシエイター [010928] Liar-soft
AD 2030, place is new capital built at Tokyo Bay. Main character is a romance negotiator who helps shy boys by winning negotiation battles with girls persuading them to pursue romance relations. But one day he gets involved in a huge conspiracy with number of cases piled up and intertwined.
It's basically a bakage with negotiation battles. Battles usually have three variants of phrases with some being great choices and some poor ones. Poor choices lead to insult endings, great choices to pure love ones. Composition reminds TV dorama with 7 episodes each featuring a short story. Enjoyable game for bakage enthusiasts.
19. Miracle Twins: Koi no Mahou o Anata ni みらくるツインズ 恋の魔法を貴方に [010928] Future
A town engulfed in evil atmosphere. But in the mids of it is a guardian angel girl who protects the town. She is a usual girl who found a magical item to turn into a warrior of justice. For that reason she is targeted by evil forces. Together with main character and another girl able for transformation they fight for the peace of this town.
A comedy with crisp H scenes. Battles are made in janken type - attack, defense, magic. There are seven chapters, but overall operation is heavy. First six chapters are complimentary comedies, and seventh is suddenly serious development. Animation is used wisely.
20. Rije ~Saisei no Ubugoe~ リジェ ～再生の産声～ [010928] Sarang 1
Rosu is a sleepless city where many kinds of people gather seeking fame and fortune. Even though the city is losing its main industry, it's still bustling. It is rumored that the city makes its money by drug trafficking as well as from a secret national arms fund. Kyoichi Koga establishes a private police station in Rosu. He used to be a policeman, but he became a private detective after being dismissed from the police force. One day, Kyoichi receives an e-mail, insinuating that a bloody event will occur. He begins research on a 23-year old tragedy without knowing that it is the beginning of the present disappearances throughout the city.
You'll be able to play with four beautiful girls: 'Kaoru,' the daughter of Kyoichi's boss, 'Reika,' an executive member of a religious group, 'Maki,' a practicing magician, and 'Chihiro,' a medical student. Try to clear all the girls by going through various situations, such as pure love, rape, gang rape, and so on! This game has multiple endings. You'll be able to play with another character after clearing the first character. The story has an 'investigation part' and a 'truth part.' In the 'investigation part,' you'll go to many places and talk with many people. You have to be careful with your time because certain events happen at a certain time. As a result of the 'investigation part,' the 'truth part' will appear. Your actions in the first part will directly affect the ending! What tragedy occurred 23 years ago? Will Kyoichi be able to solve the disappearances?
A hard-boiled detective adventure, but with a definite erotic tilt. Somehow it becomes a general thing that hard boiled adventures have to deal with prostitutes and insults which in the end devaluates the story and the genre as a whole. On the positive side game features film technique of zooming and scrolling which also adds up to decadent world atmosphere.
21. V.G. Re-birth [010928] Giga
A visual novel game in which the player plays the part of a reporter working on a story about the V.G. competition. The game also introduces the new character Sakuragi Hiyori. Depending on the choices the player makes, he/she will be paired with Yuka, Tamao or Reimi.
V.G. Rebirth Dash: An update to V.G. Rebirth which includes nearly every other non-boss character (Yuuki Ayako is absent as she is a lesbian) as an option to pair with the player. It also introduces the new character Hatano Keiko.
For that advances fighting woman theme for sex appeal. It's more like a fan story - to be able to talk to heroines from previous haves. Scenario is very short and is over upon tournament win.
22. Odeon [010929] BOKU 1
One day a girl starts to awaken to her own fate. Even if that fate may be too harsh for that frail body of hers...
A woman singing in the Roman-era Odeon (circular concert hall). A secret is now hidden under the remnants of that Odeon that has been exposed to the harsh weather all this time. A mysterious human race that has come to Earth from somewhere else. Can that girl be a reincarnation of the songstress Mirei? In the flow of time an ancient phantasm nobody remembers reoccurs again. Where is humanity guided to? Past and present intersect here...
Game resembling Experiments Lain in concept, design and atmosphere. There are many short stories (memories) in each chapter, and player accesses them in random order. But complex composition and darker themes make game difficult to read. Another experiment that can be treated in both favorable and bashing way.

Foreword: I'm always curious about another FlyingShine game, but this time scenario by Arakawa Takumi is the biggest attraction point.
Title: Bokura ga Koko ni Iru Fushigi.

Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBEIudaA_x8&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv8VvcJZUr-a2osG0BOPAdMl
Synopsis: Shinichi Manabe attends Seiryo High School. His father is a writer. 5 years ago, Shinichi went to see a mysterious mirage with Mio Fukamachi and Tamako Fujiomi. Mio is one year older than Shinichi and acts like his mother, while Tamako loves old samurai movies and likes to hug.
The mirage really was mysterious, and they had a lot of fun. However, a week later, Mio tries to save a cat but ends up being killed. Shinichi hasn't seen a mirage since that fateful day.
One day, Tamako and Shinichi suddenly encounter another mirage. Shinichi pulls Tamako into the dense fog. Shinichi soon realizes that he is with Mio, not Tamako. He also realizes that instead of Mio, Tamako is dead. He asks himself, "Am I in a different world?" Looking for further clues, he flips through his album and finds many pictures he doesn't even recognize. He's now convinced that this isn't his world.
Structure: Three consequent routes with first two being kinetic ones and last one branching off to four sub-heroines
Length: 12
Game type: Heartwarming light comedy about youth
Difficulty: Almost kinetic novel
Character Design rating: 8/10
Protagonist rating: 7/10
Story rating: 6/10
Game quality: 7/10
Overall rating: 7/10
This game is very difficult to talk about, because nothing happens there. Synopsis really prepares us for a full-scale mystery drama, but game's totally different. Homerical gags take 4/5 of the game. They are so densely packed that you can start playing from any point in the game and have a lot of fun. Because of this overwhelming amount of humor there's not really much time for drama left. Only first Mio route has some time devoted to building up relations. The other routes have roughly a minute in the end to light up the mood. A nice example of game's humor is a scene of Mio's mother calling police to start searching for Mio. But because of her childish voice, police asks her several questions and considers it a childish prank cutting the call.
Humor is main actor of the game, so it deserves a close-up. The cover of the game already says much about it. There aren't character sprites in the game. The majority of time characters are presented by enclosed chibi drawings. Just as in Lien they allow to show a great variety of funny emotions and also depict actions just fine. Like heroine square approaching hero square little by little, and hero square moving the opposite direction little by litte, or these squares start to approach closer and closer, then - bam - some acquaintance comes in and face squares jump off to opposite corners. I totally love humor here, even at times when it concentrates on Mio teasing hero with adult talk about shame play and Tama teasing him with childish flashes of underwear etc.
Since we touched characters already, let's introduce them. Shinichi is our main hero. Mio and Tama are his childhood friends with Mio being onee-san long hair type and Tama being genki imouto short-hair type. Other heroines don't really deserve a mention as full-fledged characters. Story often returns to characters of kindergarten age and uses chibi pictures resembling those super-young characters, so it's very difficult to treat main heroines as objects of love interest. Game is not about love. Yes, it has some branchings to satisfy this need, but only so forth.
Game engine inherits DoNoR model with its crude auto-reading. But even though backgrounds here are also rendered real photos, they look totally fine and natural here thanks to just decreasing number of colors creating water paint effect. No more eye pain because of blurry images!
Game title is quite touching as it can be translated as "It's a miracle that we all are here". In fact it corresponds to the picture book that Shin started to write and that has nothing in it but this title.
What I mean to say by this hectic review is that this game is absolutely revolutionary in its lovely passiveness. There are no logical connections, no plot movements, no love drama, no conclusions. Game presents us lots of good moments with perfectly voiced heroines and ends on a high pitch note. It's free of all the stamps of the media. It's an enjoyable entertainment from beginning to end and great text to read. As if game tells us that we should be free of conventions enjoy at least this time we read this visual novel, because it's a miracle that we all are here.
Masaru: Ashita no Yukinojou 2 is the VN of the Month. Hotosenaru Uta Chitosenaru Shirushi is definitely a masterpiece as well. As for "Hello, world." with its great reviews, I'll tell you in next issue whether I consider it a masterpiece or not.
1. Hoshimatsuri no Uta ほしまつりのうた [020906] Softhouse Dew 1
Soichiro Sugimoto is a kind, quiet boy attending Yuigasaki High School. Students at this school like to throw festivals, and the upcoming festival, the Star Festival, is one of the biggest festivals of the year.
Soichiro doesn't like festivals or parties, but his friends won't leave him alone on the night of the Star Festival. Kaya, who grew up with Soichiro, asks him to go to the festival with her. The truth is, Soichiro is secretly in love with her.
Fine naive heroic youth scenario. Full female voicing is promised, but actually there's partial female voicing. Below average game even if you like the heroines here.
2. Jewel Matrix じゅえる☆まとりくす [020906] Ivory
Main character returns from adventure with power "matrix". It can be magically activated to attract matrix jewel girls with different respective attributes. His story of love and protection begins now.
Game was supposed to be a SIM, but got delayed significantly to convert it to ADV. 9 chapters are devoted to the heroine line and the last three chapters are the rush to the end. Ending chapters are very similar for all heroines.
3. Mystic Report ~Koi no Bukatsu wa Chikoku Shinai~ ミスティック・リポート ～恋の部活はチコクしない～ [020906] Hadashi Shoujo
Main character belongs to school newspaper club. He is inspired by the the seven school wonders stories and takes interview from girls who experience strange phenomena at school. With his pretty girl assistant he faces mystic, but so real dangers.
Mix of RPG and ADV. Losing in fight means game over as long as insult scene usually. There are four episodes. To see every route it's needed to play seven times, but it's very tiresome to play after initial playthrough. Erotic element is thin overall.
4. Tearful Eyes ~Anata shika Inai~ ティアフルアイズ～あなたしかいない～ [020906] Kamen Shoukai
Main character meet a girl on the hill behind the school. She lies on the hill wearing a white dress instead of uniform. He only dares to talk to her after becoming festival committee member, and they seem to have much in common, but she asks to keep white dress in secret. However, after becoming friends, protagonist starts to notice strange shadows behind the girl personality. One day she stops talking to him...
Orthodox school love drama. Story is short, and showing synopsis takes the majority of its time.Development is sudden and there aren't enough events to pull it through.
5. Hotosenaru Uta Chitosenaru Shirushi ほとせなる呪ちとせなる詛 [020913] Project-μ
Main character is visited by a girl who claims that his only distant relative taking care of her died in a fire. Mysterious death cases start to pursue protagonist. One of the latest victims blamed "email from a closed girl" curse as the cause of deaths.
Horror entertainment novels as developers call the genre. This company is well known for presenting concept of the theater in each work. This time is no different - there's a lot of movement going on the screen, but thanks to other means than animation. It manages to be both horror and bakage. Game grasps fears of modern age realistically creating hard-boiled horror atmosphere. Real masterpiece here.
6. Stairs ~Natsu no Chotto Mae~ STAIRS～夏のちょっと前～ [020913] Aias 1
After living in the U.S., our hero returns to Japan to continue his studies. He stays at the shrine of his dad's friend and goes to school in the country...
Our hero will meet up with many fun-loving babes: The only daughter of the shrine priest. She wants nothing to do with the occult. Our hero's cheerful but troublemaking classmate. The senior would-be "magician" with a red cape. The foreign student from England who is more Japanese than most Japanese people. The girl listlessly standing on the rooftop. He's supposed to have a peaceful school life with these girls, but life is not that easy! A lot of weird things are happening around him, one after another...
Heroines are nice, but story lacks excitement. Climax and H events are sudden. Whatever good is created in the first half is crushed mercilessly in the second half.
7. Puchi Shinigami Pleco プチ死神プレコ [020916] Bipolar
Main character gets into a traffic accident with his sister. In order to save his sister he needs to fulfill conditions set by grim reaper girl Pleco.
Company disbanded at the same time that game was issued, and there are no reviews, so it's an obscure title.
8. Blue-Sky-Blue(s) -Sora o Mau Tsubasa- Blue-Sky-Blue【s】－空を舞う翼－ [020920] Emu 1
The protagonist's mom passed away 10 years ago and the father-son relationship is a strained one. When poppy's work as a weatherman and new marriage sends them to Hokkaido, the player enters a new school and joins up with a group of student's whose passion is the sky - with the belief that people come from the sky and will eventually return to the sky...
Six girls are available for the romancing including honor student Kasumi Itimatsu, school director's granddaughter Fuuka Mitsuba and assistant teacher Tomomi Shinose.
This is a story of conflict with abstract perceptions of heroines, so don't expect a love comedy here. It may be called the opposite of charage as personalities live in lies and dreams, and everyday life scenes get truncated. A bold experiment.
9. Hajirahi はじらひ [020920] Blue Gale
Main character fails a big project at an advertising agency, and now he takes a month long paid vacation. He goes to a remote village which image he remembers from a postcard.
It's needed to raise favorability rating with one of heroines in the course of numerous events. After the three sisters are captured, true route is revealed. Apart of three sisters there is also a school teacher and a lively girl, but they are treated as sub-characters not gaining own ending. Development is boring as there is nothing to do but enjoy rural life and various situations.
10. Panic!! Kerokero Kingdom ぱにっく!! けろけろ王国 [020920] Pajamas Soft
A lot of frog have fallen from the sky! Extremely selfish protagonist intends to defeat them quickly and become famous. Suddenly first princess of the country shows up and persuades protagonist to fight for her cause.
First part is tetris game with frogs as blocks, second part is various puzzles with H as reward.

Medieval romance interaction game featuring 14 lovely maidens available for the wooing.
Another useless lazy Xbox exclusive SIM.
12. Dalk Gaiden DALK外伝 [020927] Alice Soft 1 2
Our hero is the Love God, "Martis," who also appeared in the previous title. He was turned into a regular person because he disobeyed the Master God, Furad. He ends up searching inside the body of the giant god Varuga with 7 maids in order to subdue the Demon God, Port Nunu. This parasitic demon is running rampant around in Varuga's body.
Varuga's body is a labyrinth, which consists of a giant dungeon with many floors. Martis and the maids advance into the dungeon as they beat small monsters on their way to defeat Port Nunu, who is hiding in the deepest area of the dungeon.
Game is a sequel by name only, even story has no connections. Story is one road, each heroine has very few events. Battle system is quite simple and entertaining. Game is sold for just 1/3 of normal game price, so epic hopes should not be placed on it.
13. Hachimitsu Sou de Hoppe ni Chuu はちみつ荘 de ほっぺにチュウ [020927] Palette 1
The hero is a fourth grade student from college who is graduating this year.
During the summer break from the university, he was living a lazy life and doing nothing all the time. One day, his parents kicked him out of home. Seeking independence, tries to find a part-time job. And then he becomes an apartment manager. In his the last summer vacation, his stopped time begins to move.
SIM with schedule and something else, but I already don't care.
14. "Hello, world." [020927] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4
Set in Akihabara in the near future, "Hello, world." is a hearty, feature-length, cyber battle-action/campus-life story about a robot boy and the girls that surround him.

Kazuki Tomonaga is a robot made by an entity called "HIKARI" for the purpose of "GLOBAL ILLUMINATION". He's created with ingenuity as precise as that of a human being.

In their "exchanges" his "curiosity" gradually turns into "affection" and his mission becomes more intense. He gradually starts to build his own philosophy, not knowing he will be forced to make crucially important decisions in the near future.

15. Majo no Ocha Kai 魔女のお茶会 [020927] Frontwing 1 2 3 4 5 6
Long, long ago, there was a world in which mages and humans existed in harmony. Deep contrasts in their two cultures, however, caused differences that could not be overcome between the two races. The humans feared the great power of the mages, and hunted them, trying to erase their kind from the earth. God felt pity for their plight and created a world of magic for them, which they could go to in peaceful exile. In this way the mages faded from the Earth, and all contact between the two peoples ceased. Each continued on their own paths, the humans that of civilization, and mages that of magic.
A few hundred years have passed since that time, and the mages are hopeful that, once again, the two races can live in harmony together. In the hope of finding a way to bridge their differences, the mages send out their young acolytes for training in the world of the humans. If the younger generations of the two peoples can find a way of connecting, perhaps the acolytes could gain important knowledge that will enable the two groups to live together again. This year three young wizards will cross over into the world of humans... Two of them are elite, and one a total drop out. Can they reunite the two peoples of Earth and the World of Magic?
Game is localized and has many English reviews.

Typing adventure... seriously? Story is quite good, and I bet there are just no good enough typing games to compete with this one so far. Game's sold for 1/3 of usual price.

19. Sorairo Memories そら色メモリーズ [020927] Ga-Bang

They decide to walk around the island to try to regain the memory. Is she really protagonist's sister who he has no recollection of?
Period is one week. We choose which girl to visit at the beginning of each day and there are more choices afterwards. System is quite heavy. The aim of the game is to... recover from father's death? Really? Just stupid, as for me. Game is rather short.

Green Green and Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou are the masterpieces of the month with the latter being the winner, but I'm reviewing Assassin Ann .
1. Green Green グリーングリーン [011005] Overdrive 1 2
Green Green takes place in Japan’s countryside, in a non-descript region with forests and an isolated boarding school known as Kanenone Gakuen (鐘ノ音学園, literally translated as Sound of Bell Academy). The academy boasts of an entirely male population, and prides itself of the tradition of men growing amongst other men without any external influences to disturb them.
The protagonist is named Yuusuke Takasaki, a second year student that is indifferent to the lonely, girl-deprived atmosphere that surrounds the school. His three friends, Tadatomo “Bacchiguu” Ijuuin, Hikaru Ichibanboshi and Taizou Tenjin, however, feel as if they are being denied their youth by having no females to interact with. As the summer session at Kanenone begins, Yuusuke and friends wonder what the change of season will bring to them, when Bacchiguu brings news that a bus full of girls has arrived on school grounds. As luck would have it, Kanenone’s current administration is considering making the academy co-ed, and in order to see how the change would affect the student body, first and second year girls have been brought to live on school grounds for one month. Though Yuusuke takes the change in stride, his three hormone-driven friends see this as the true beginning of their youth.
There is an English review.
2. Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou ジサツのための１０１の方法 [011005] Duke 1 2 3
Torabishi Takuji hears a noise he has come to label "grey". He doesn't know the true nature of the noise, and finally has started to lose the ability to discern between "delusion" and "reality".
"Delusion" and "reality", "life" and "death". Caught between those, he has started to seek proof that he "lives in reality". A stepsister that hides things from her brother. An energetic childhood friend. A beautiful girl with a coolness in opposition to her cute appearance. A mysterious classmate with an conduct soaked of the occult. A beautiful female teacher that lavishes her adult charm. A male student of whom several dark rumors talk about... These different characters will see their psyche cornered to the limit. This is their story.
There are English reviews.
3. Taisetsu na Uta ~Koi Suru Yume Utahime~ たいせつなうた～恋する夢歌姫～ [011005] Q-X
Naoya has a broken heart when he moves to a new town. New school life begins, and he's able to find another love. came over to a new town. And a new school life begins, and I know another love. In his dreams he starts to meet unfamiliar girls in unfamiliar clothes, and he does not know which reality is true - they both look so real.
Moege from a new brand. Heroines are of diverse characters. Dream world is medieval European fantasy. It's not clear why dream world is introduced. Dream world does not help to solve problems of real world - they are solved exactly in real world. Story would not hurt by removing fantasy world. It's more life a flavor to make game more memorable. Ending is a bit forced in each route.
4. Tsukuyomi ~Marebito no Uta~ ツクヨミ～稀人の唄～ [011005] Ivory
Main character leads a happy school life when school gets acquired by some emerging religion <Tendo Zen> organization and shrine maiden comes to his class as a transfer student. Protagonist starts to wander the world of dreams and reveals ancient ability "Lara Shrine" hidden in himself. With an ability to move between worlds wonderful encounters and miracles await him.
Game starts as stalker type comedy and gets serious with time. Other world story only reaffirms relations with the heroine, but has no big influence on our world. Scenario feels incomplete.
5. Viper-M5 [011005] Sogna 1
Japanese mythology tells of youkai, supernatural forces of good or evil that inhabit human beings. Those that can tap this power can cause great changes in the world around them, whether through the good deeds they perform or the bad. Tsubasa, visiting his cousin and fellow youkai, Saori, discovers a plot at her school where the teachers are influenced by evil spirits who plan to demonize the entire student body. With the help of other good youkai, Tsubasa and Saori plan to defeat the teachers and restore peaceful order to the town.
Video can be easily be found with words Viper M5 gamerip, so I won't record it myself. I was initially very surprised by the characters of this game - characters are absolutely new and quite different from usual Viper games. Two youkai who encounter other youkai and humans. But during the play it all became clear - these are remade characters from Houma Hunter Lime from their previous brand Silence, just youkai instead of demons. Even their hair colors are the same. Their roles are almost identical. Boy is an eternal pervert who can't miss any skirt, and girl is here to beat him every time that happens. That's basically it. Game consists of 6 episodes, and each episode is a small piece with its structure, enemy, H event and resolution. The story is more complex this time and and really interesting to read even without animated H events. Don't expect a real story though, just good youkai uncover plots of bad youkai and fight them.
6. Gyakuten Saiban 逆転裁判 [011011] Capcom 1 2 3 4 5
The game takes place in an urban city set in 2016 and later; for the Japanese versions, this city is somewhere in Japan, while the English localization places the games in Los Angeles, California.
The fictional future justice system is such that when a person is accused of a crime, they are immediately given a bench trial presided by a judge, a prosecuting attorney from the state, and a defense attorney that must completely prove the accused innocent of the crime. Trials last 3 days at most, due to the large number of cases that the courts must deal with; if the accused cannot be found innocent after this time, their case is consigned to a higher court. The majority of the work during a trial is on the shoulders of the defense attorney who must cross-examine the witnesses brought forth by the prosecution to find contradictions in testimony to clear their client. The playable character is Phoenix Wright. He is a rookie lawyer fresh out of law school in the first game, taking a position at Fey & Co. Law Offices run by Mia Fey, a defense attorney that helped to acquit Wright of murder several years prior to the events of the first game. When Mia is murdered, Wright takes over the offices with the assistance of Maya Fey, Mia's younger sister, and renames the office "Wright & Co. Law Offices". The Fey family have the ability to channel spirits, which sometimes allows Maya to channel Mia's spirit for Wright to help in court. Wright develops a rivalry with prosecuting attorney Miles Edgeworth as they oppose each other in court...
There are lots of English reviews.

From here on, Cosmic Man's attitude really undergoes a change. He starts to request 'girls' and 'money' in return for his efforts. Will the earth remain peaceful? Everything is now on the new Cosmic Man's shoulders... What would you do if the hero were a bad person? What will happen if the hero requests something in return for his work? These are the 2 concepts of this game. This game consists of 14 stories. Players advance through the game by talking with people, but you'll see the cool system of board games when you gather information and fight against monsters.
Battles are just too boring. H event's aren't really exciting either. The gag parodies aren't enough to justify playing.
8. Lagnalock Lagnalock -ラグナロク- [011012] light 1
Our hero lives with Alpha, a childhood friend, in a small village in the kingdom of Faldeata. This is located on the west side of the Grandeek continent. Our hero has no friends except for Alpha and the priest who brought the two of them up. His father left him one item at his death: The mighty sword of Lagnalock.
The hero and the priest share a secret regarding Alpha. The girl's true identity is a Diverse (DIV), a child of god. DIVs were born when the evil "Foreign Over" started showing up on this world. The army has been looking for DIVs because of their special magical abilities. Therefore, in order to protect Alpha, the priest gives her a new identity and has her working in the temple. It happens on the night of the village festival. Faldeata's prime minister orders their army "Black Dragon" to attack the village. The whole village is torched and the priest is killed. Maxim, the Black Dragon's commander, attempts to kidnap Alpha. His attempts are thwarted, when our hero starts fighting back with his new-found and mysterious powers. However, the defeated Maxim succeeds in implanting a seed in Alpha's chest. This seed is able to foresee the coming of God, and Alpha is to be sacrificed. Our hero can only hug Alpha and reassure her. He decides to set out on a quest with Alpha in search of a way to rescue her from her fate...
Main problem in this game for me is the SIM part which actually feels more like a board game. You roll the dice and move around the map. Good squares make you acquire items and technologues, enemy occupied squares trigger battles. There are three heroines to capture, and their routes are short.
9. Love Semi ~Koi no Tokubetsu Shidoushitsu~ ラブゼミ～恋の特別指導室～ [011012] Gaia
Main character enters a private academy with "priority guidance system" and emphasis on interviews. But what "priority guidance system" actually means?
All of the seven capturable heroines are teachers. Period is just two weeks, so volume feels insufficient. Without some affinity for teacher heroines game looks boring.
10. Mix★Max Kimi to Boku to Nomaru wa... MIX★MAX キミとボクとの間には・・・ [011012] Zenos
Main character is a member of microcomputer club which mostly includes ghost members. In order for the club to survive he must demonstrate achievements in culture within a month. With that the fight for club survival began.
There are four heroines to capture. System is poor. Game soon becomes ero-tilt with H events coming out of the blue.
11. Assassin Ann ASSASSIN Ann～アサシン・アン～ [011019] Active
Four young people have the dream to stand on American stage. They set up dance team "J-RAP" and practice each day. of wanting to stand on the American stage, home of dance. They set up a dance team "J-RAP" and were striving for lessons every day. One day main character gets to know that another team member Ann is actually an assassin of a mysterious organization "Gopher". She asks protagonist for help, but he refuses due to strong sense of justice. He gets caught up in the struggle between "Gopher" organization and emerging religion "Tsunoda kai". And direct danger approaches members of "J-RAP".
I absolutely need to play this myself.
12. Dokidoki Princess どきどきPrincess [011019] Cronus
Main character is an aspiring swordsman. One day he gets to help a girl while practicing in the mountains, and since that time girl starts to visit him. At first protagonist is irritated by such bother, but with time understands that desire to protect important people around him is his true strength.
Comedy. Five heroines, quite an orthodox development. At least this time it's really pure love with just two H events per heroine, very unlike previous works of Cronus. Heroines lack development and aren't memorable.
13. Houkago no Maid 放課後のメイド [011019] For
Protagonist becomes the manager of the newly created after-school "Maid Training Club".
First half is choosing who to talk to, and second half is individual routes - in the latter part any answers other that correct ones result in bad end. H content is higher than average, 2-3 scenes per heroine. Quite a boring maid fetish work.
14. Inner Palace ~Shiroki Koukyuu~ インナーパレス～白き後宮～ [011019] Noa
Stagnating kingdom of Punea is succeeded by emperor Tokina. New emperor has many wives who gave birth to six sons. Main character is the sixth son Leon. He's the last in the line of succession, so needs to execute enormous efforts to ever wear the crown.
A SIM game to train yourself in order to be able to choose a correct wife. There are eight heroines, and since polygamy is wide-spread in the country, it gets H intensive and falls into harem state.
15. Pretty Monsters プリティーモンスターズ [011019] Nampurrow
After collapse of an anti-matter conversion furnace 400 years ago, science-based civilization was almost completely annihilated. However, humanity was able to regain former prosperity by domesticating and utilizing flying Primon as means of transport. Fuami is a healthy girl who aims to ride Primon. For that she sets on a journey of practice.
It's a suguroku game to gather monsters, but game is actually a nukige despite the neutral synopsis, and with pretty dark H events. Insult scenes show up spontaneously.
16. Tsukikagerou 月陽炎 [011019] Studio Miris 1
Taishō era. The interval between Meiji and Shōwa.
A season where yellow and red petals swoop down from the trees. A young man comes down from the Imperial city, clinging to a large trunk, faintly smiling at the sight of the streets, a suitable young man indeed. Just as told by his father, he reached to this town to help for an autumn festival. Walking down the streets brings a surge of nostalgia. Encounter with a girl. Two girls. As days drift by, the young man soon links with one of the girls. Not a love by chance. It was a fated love. Was it the reason this young man was made to come to this town?
There is an English review.

Set on a hospital, where the protagonist is a doctor and interacts with the nurses there.
What does doctor do with nurses? Oh, he interacts. That's a very bold resolution from Sega. Honestly speaking, it would be too easy to make just a fun game. Sega introduced lots of elements like skills and background knowledge to make this game a real SIM. GJ, Sega.
18. Beside ~Shiawase wa Katawara ni~ Beside～幸せはかたわらに～ [011026] DreamSoft
When I was young, I fell in love.
I loved her from a very early age, and she was like a big sister to me. Her mother died when she was little, and her father was always working. But, she went to college, and had to move. I confessed my feelings to her, but the train's noise took her answer away with the wind. A few years later, I went to university, and forgot the events that happened then. I had trouble finding a job, and my brother got married and moved to Hawaii, so I decided to go back to my parents' house. However, there was something I didn't expect... To meet with her again, under the same sky, while she smiled as always.
Orthodox love comedy. There are six heroines, but story stays the same in each route. One playthrough is just 2-3 hours. Enjoyable work for those who like the genre.
19. Coda -Toge- Coda－棘－ [011026] Over 1
Our hero, Manabu Kusaka, lost his love years ago in an accident. The accident happened right after she broke up with him. Manabu thought it was his fault that she died, so he tries to kill him self, but fails. Having no other choice, he leaves home. On the anniversary of her death, Manabu receives a letter. His heart jumps as he finds out who sent the letter. The letter is from his lost love. It talks about how tired she is with love, her emotions, and her friends. After reading the letter, our hero goes to the school's garden to bury the letter under a tree; this was not a good idea. . .
Long ago, this tree was used in sacrifices. Our hero and his friends are now chosen as the next "sacrifices." They get warped into a different dimension. What awaits them? Will they ever be able to return? This story has two scenario routes, which include, "A Happy Story" and "The Worst Story." Also, depending on your character, there are many different scenarios to experience.
This brand is actually reincarnation of Rock Climber, so it should be clear that psychological insult is the focus of the game. And I'm not discussing shades of nukige.
20. Kekkai ~Aru Rinshou Shinrishi no Kiroku Yori~ 結界～ある臨床心理士の記録より～ [011026] Simple Plan
Kyoko was found at the scene of a brutal murder by chief inspector Kaoru. Due to the shock of the incident, Kyoko has lost her memory. Kaoru has asked Junichi, a suave psychiatrist, to help cure Kyoko, only to find out that she has multiple personalites.
Suspense adventure with erotic tilt. Multiple personalities of the heroine is the main feature of the work. Story has no twist and text level is low.
21. Low Devil! ローデビル！ [011026] Black Light
Main character starts to have special feelings for his childhood friend, but it seems to be an impossible dream. One day a devil girl appears before him. She is looking for a certain stone and persuades protagonist to help her.

22. Mahiru ni Odoru Hanzaisha 真昼に踊る犯罪者 [011026] SofthouseChara
When you need "Anything" done, you can turn on our protagonist and his three companions.
"Anything" goes from babysitting to investigation of extramarital affairs, even criminal acts such as kidnapping or robbery. Whatever it is, it will be done, as long as there's enough compensation. Of course there's a downside to this business. Everywhere you look, danger lurks in every corner. While he didn't want to see it, the protagonist saw the dark side of a corporate giant. And thus begins our protagonist's fight...
SofthouseChara youth is full of weird strategy games. Not my story.
23. Pretty Crisis 2nd [011026] Inspire
Princess of the neighboring country Olivese arrives to the country where knight Rudel leaves. He needs to collect a certain amount of money to be able to send her back.
Game is just from a totally different genre from first Pretty Crisis. It's now an economic SIM which angers auditory a lot.
24. Prime Girl プライムガール [011026] TRIFACT
Memories of prime everyone has in heart.
I like to share the pain and sorrow with you.
Game from creators of Refrain Love which results in SIM elements abuse, wide use of animation and very generic story. The style and lip sync are uncommon for adult games. Heroines are realistic and only with dark hair. Game is praised for relaxing adult atmosphere.
25. Sonic Princess ソニック・プリンセス [011026] Software House Parsley 1
During nighttime, the terrain of the Earth is susceptible to inexplicable changes. Human beings called these strange occurrences the Phantom Phenomenon.

The three were recruited through audition with an agency that produces idol groups, led by a shrewed female president who sees to the development of her agency's talents by keeping them busy in a maelstrom of multimedia: song and dance performances, modeling, work in the "CM" magazine, hosting a variety quiz show, and drama performances, among others.

Foreword: I don't review anthologies and fandiscs, but this time I have to deviate from this tradition for the fandisc of the game of the year 2000.
Title: Nijuubako
Developer: KeroQ
Date: 2001-11-30
VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v6247
Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwioMkDCF88&list=PLs4Gp5VU4Fv9AcuZZF8nvm-DbGt0ZKEI3
Synopsis: Among other accessories there are two stories:
1. 『イルとスイの日常』"Il and Sui everyday" is about Il and Sui exploring outer world and own sexuality.
2.『砦に帰す』"Return to the Fort" is about Aya group expedition sent by Iga ninja to investigate an ancient Yagyuu fort five years before events of Nijuuei.
Structure: None
Length: 1 hour + 2.5 hours
Game type: Mythology samurai horror mystery.
Difficulty: None. Just one fake choice.
Character Design rating: 6/10
Protagonist rating: 7/10
Story rating: 9/10
Game quality: 8/10
Overall rating: 8/10
Rating comments: "Return to the Fort" story really impressed me. It restored several loose links in the original game and developed some existing themes. "Il and Sui everyday" is a banal fan-service story, I won't touch it in any way in this review.
Protagonist: "Return to the Fort" has very curious approach to protagonist. Main protagonist is experienced expedition leader boy Kiriha. It's a convenient position since we can talk to everyone and coordinate their activities. But when the story dictates it, protagonist can be changed. Sometimes we don't even know who is our current protagonist hidden behind generic "Man".
Characters: There are several female heroines, but most of them don't get enough screen time to even remember their names. Aya is the main heroine, and it's especially wonderful that her mystery from the original game gets solved here, even two mysteries. Can't even hint, though.
Story: The very beginning is a group of ninja sent by Iga ninja clan getting to the fort in the wilderness with a lot of losses. Something's killing them one by one, presumably something from the fort. But as they sneak into the fort, it turns out to be empty... that's literally the very beginning. There's a lot and lot of development from this point.
CG and Sound: Great CG and finally voicing. Manga strips for action scenes are as cool as ever.
Thoughts:
1) Both Nijuuei and Nijuubako are released on the same day, 30th November, but the years are different. I seem some playfulness in releasing both games on the same date.
2) Aya is not the only character from Nijuuei in "Return to the Fort", so it feels totally like a prequel, not like an individual character story.
3) "Return to the Fort" not only tells the story of Aya and another character from Nijuuei, but it's also a detective story, a horror story, an action story and the story of cursed sword Muramasa.
Overall comments: Surprisingly lovely game as a result. Good mix of genres and lots of references to the original game. That's the way fandiscs should be - additional story-focused piece rather than worthless fan-service.
Izumo is the only masterpiece of the month. I'll be reviewing both Virus and Faust this month.
1. Kakuriyo 幽冥－カクリヨ－ [011207] Cage
Main character receives a request as a member of mystery club to investigate change in the behavior of classmate's older brother. At the same time beauty transfer student comes to the class, and a series of bizarre incidents starts to happen. Old school building, moonlight on the shrine and fate from the previous life - with that the sky trembles and Kakuriyo appears in this world.
A dark ero-centered story, but at least with some plot. There are guro scenes and deaths of heroes at bad endings. Difficulty is high, so walkthrough is a must.
2. Platinum プラチナ [011207] Giga
Main character transfers to a school in the mountains of the neighboring prefecture just half a year before graduating. He leaves behind his girlfriend who promises to wait for him till they can enter the same university. But new town presents new encounters. What will he choose?
Wow, Giga started to produce poor visual novels as early as back in 2001... and Puchi Cherry unsuccessful example did not teach them a thing. Here is another generic moege with forced ending.
3. Rasetsu [011207] Kogado Studio
The story is set within a futuristic world where mankind, fearing overpopulation may be a danger, made settlement at locations away from Earth.
Two powerful organizations formed: The Governing Galactic Federation of Earth and the Dick Planetary Alliance, and since then they've been engaged in war against one another, which in turn has dealt considerable damage to mankind. Your goal as the leader of a mercenary's guild is to simply profit by taking jobs from either of those forces. The Rasetsu series play simililarly to any other real-time strategy title with an isometric view and common point-and-click interface, and also toting somewhat of a Front Mission-esque as you'll often find yourself switching over from battles to intermissions (where you'll be able to talk to characters) and so on.
Not a visual novel, so no point discussing.
4. Virus ウィルス [011207] Celt
Main character is separated from his older brother and sister due to parents' divorce. A few years later sister asks him to check on brother who does not come to contact. Brother is found dead with a tattoo all over his body. Protagonist starts his own investigation with the help of some friends.
Those who watch me for some time already know that I'll be reviewing this game myself. A woman with a gun is the bait I always swallow.
5. Q [011208] Cross
1895. Main character is a representative of Meiji government sent on culture inspection to the United States. Upon his arrival inexplicable series of mystery murders start to occur.
Story is inconsistent and full of H events. There's a mystery meter that moves some 5 cm with each new ending (mostly bad ones) revealed. Thus reaching true end requires playing 20 times making the right choices. Not much is explained, so story often develops itself without acknowledgement of what's happening.
6. Doki Doki Pretty League - Lovely Star ドキドキプリティリーグ Lovely Star [011213] Xing Entertainment 1 2
In the game the player takes again the role of a baseball coach that is going to coach the Kasumigaura high school female baseball team during a one year period of time. The task is to decide the training (battling, fielding, etc.) that each player is going to make each week and see their progress.
Can't stand SIM games.
7. Kokoro Toshokan Communication Library Visual Drama ココロ図書館 コミュニケーションライブラリー ビジュアルドラマ [011213] Broccoli
A short visual novel included as part of the "Kokoro Library Communication Library" library cataloging software. Chapters are unlocked as books are entered into the library software; approximately 120 books are required to unlock the entire story.
Some strange moe collection game.
8. Cafe La Sunset CAFE LA SUNSET [011214] BeF
Main character ran a restaurant for five years before it went bankrupt. One day he's invited by his uncle to be a manager of "Sunset" cafe that is about to be closed in a month's time. What encounters await him during the time left? Quite a generic Pia Carrot clone, but with BeF traditional graphics. The girl we visit the most gets her story to progress. There is also a SIM part.
9. Faust ファウスト [011214] Tail
In a peaceful city, a series of strange "vampire" murders happened. As if to ridicule people who don't believe in the existence of such monsters victims appear one after another in a swift succession. Meanwhile, the hero who works in the university encounters a girl. Upon that encounter, he feels "something" that can sacrifice even a precious and sacred life in that girl.
I think I'll review it myself.
10. Konoha Challenge このはちゃれんじ [011214] FlyingShine
Main heroine is homunculus created by Mad Alchemist. She is implanted memory of younger sister. She exists via sexual energy and needs daily masturbation to survive. If she resists this urge, her body gets more and more aroused. Her bright school life begins!
This is a totally nukige setting, but game is actually a bakage and is praised a lot for comical character depiction. It's also FlyingShine game. But it's also a SIM game developing over a month's time. Various events occur depending on school behavior and self-training sessions at nights. There are three happy endings and four normal ones. Still it's everyday conversation laugh that makes this game so highly evaluated, not H events.
11. Megami-sama ☆ ni Onegai!! -Mayonaka no Boukensha- 女神さま☆にお願いっ!! －真夜中の冒険者－ [011214] Studio Ryokucha
A certain Tokyo high school is an ordinary school during daytime, but at nighttime it changes into a labyrinth that seals the ultimate treasure that can make any wish come true. Main character is one of its students joining in the treasure hunt accompanied by classmate girls.
It's mostly a comedy with a good tempo, even though parody often feels old. First half is the same, then we pick a heroine and go exploring the dungeon only with her - the final wish fully depends on the heroine chosen.
12. Pain Pain -ペイン- [011214] Studio Neko Punch
In a rural town a young boy stares at the night sky. Black shadow approaches him and takes the shape of a succubus woman. Succubus searches for a fresh soul, and boy does not value his life at this point anymore, so they make a deal. From this day environment around the boy changes little by little with every day...
Somehow it's more of a pure love story, but with some insult side-scenes. The number of choices is very small. The mystery plot between succubus and protagonist is lost with time, and game proceeds just as a normal charage. Hetare protagonist is not nice to see. Lots of people were disappointed by the fact that this Studio Neko Punch game does not have lolis - succubus is the closest to loli from all the heroines. Lots of bugs don't help with evaluation either.
13. Sweet ~Hanjuku na Tenshi-tachi~ Sweet～半熟な天使たち～ [011214] Silky's
Main character just graduated from medical university. He finds work at "Saint Angels Hospital" managed by his uncle. He grows up as physician and deepens his relations with various girls - nurses, students, female doctors. patients...
Since this game is an alternative version of Candy Stripe, it's mostly a pure love story. But it's not a direct port, but with H scenes included. The gameplay is same boring.
14. Tokimeki Memorial 3 ~Yakusoku no Ano Basho de~ ときめきメモリアル3 〜約束のあの場所で〜 [011220] Konami 1
TM3 is set in Moegino High, a private high school built over a hilltop. Besides the usual path students take to school, there's also an abandoned footpath leading to an old shrine called Onokoyashiro (male's shrine)--said to be have been built to compliment the Ominayashiro (female's shrine) located around the school's premises. These two paths, old and new, meet along a legendary slope, where "on that fateful day, under the falling cherry-blossoms, should two lovers' confess their love, they will forever be bound together". So goes the legend of Moegino High.
The aim in the game is similiar to the past two games: you play a male student in Moegino High, and for their next three years you'll be studying there while meeting (and dating) various girls. If eveything goes well, one of them will meet you at the legendary slope come graduation day, and both of you then confess your love for each other.
There is an English review.
15. Hermina to Culus ~Lillie no Atelier Mou Hitotsu no Monogatari~ ヘルミーナとクルス 〜リリーのアトリエ もう一つの物語〜 [011220] Gust
The young alchemist Hermina has created an homunculus by the name Culus. The homunculus cannot show many expression or say many words, but Culus learns new words from the people of Salburg. Eventually the player can use the words Culus have learnt to become Hermina's friend. An spin-off of the Atelier series without RPG elements and focusing on communication between the characters.
It's basically fandisc for RPG series
16. Akairo no Utage 紅色ノ狂宴 [011221] Aaru
One day main character Yuya is invited to take care of the mansion while his brother is away. There he needs to contact his two sisters Aika and Kurumi, maid Sumire and mysterious woman Aoi on everyday basis. At the same time he starts to see very realistic and nostalgic dreams that he forgets upon awakening...
Heroine paths depend on the level of awakening of protagonist (weak-medium-strong) increasing the overall number of patterns with choices to astronomical numbers. Due to these dreams the number of H events reaches double digit numbers for some heroines peaking at 25 for Aika who Yuya has always been secretly in love with. There is actually some story here as Yuya is the guardian of the holy sword from his previous life, and he can either fight demons of become demon himself.
17. Izumo [011221] Studio e.go! 1 2
Touma Hikaru is a student at the prestigious Izumo private academy. Recently he is troubled by dreams that always has the same woman trying to tell him something. One day, following the steps of the dream he had last night he goes to the abandoned building at the back of the school. When he touches a mirror there, there is a flash of bright light followed by an earthquake. He rushes out to the new school building only to find Nanami being attacked by a giant spider. At that moment a bird appears and everything stops. But this is only the beginning of the strange events to follow those two...
Studio e.go! finally returns to normal RPG games. And Izumo series becomes the main one in company history spawning multiple continuations. A clear masterpiece.
18. Kemono Gakuen けもの学園 [011221] Tactics
Main character enters Veterinary high school only to find out that it's fool half-humans half-monsters as students. Will he adapt in this curious place?
Warmhearted comedy. There are four heroines representing different monster archetypes + a secret character. The only shortcoming I can think up is volume shortage - common part takes just one hour and heroines routes another hour - at max two hours.
19. Kasumisan# -Manatsu no Refrain- Kasumisan#-真夏のリフレイン- [011228] Gastro
On the first day of summer vacations main character's female friend dies in a traffic accident. That was a huge blow for him. When he awakens the next day it's again July 31st, first day of summer vacations. Two worlds of past and present form an eternal cycle to reveal hidden heart strings.
Loop elements are encountered in previous games as well, but Kasumisan Sharp makes loop the centerpiece of the game. There is just one heroine in the game and just one H event late in the game. The beginning and the ending of the game are good, but there's not enough efforts exercised to make middle part exciting or at least less boring.

Snow Radish Vacation is the prequel to Summer Radish Vacation 1 and 2 and as such, also of School Days. Chronologically, it is the first in the "Radish continuity."
These girls are considered to be studying on the 4th grade of university, but it's rather 4th grade of the school tbh. And protagonist here is a pregnant girl... so everything goes hopsy dopsy. There is a map with 10 locations and girl icons on it, but it's absolutely useless to chase girls and try to raise favorability with them. Instead, what's required is to search for hidden events on the maps with no girl icons.

My younger sister, Kasumi, lives with me. She won't listen to a word I say, and it's really stressing me out. It's my last year of high school, and maybe it's making me a bit sentimental. As I look back on my high school days, I can at least say I've done my best in track. It seems as though time has really flown by. Reflecting on the past isn't going to help me decide on my future. I've really got to settle down and get serious. There are two reasons why I decided on this school: 1. I could get in with my GPA. 2. It was the closest school to my house. I'm always worrying about my future plans, but school sure is a lot of fun! You ask, "why?" Well, it's because all our teachers are babes with fantastic bodies. They listen to my problems, as well as offer themselves to me. This is not comparable to the track team in any way! Are you a bit jealous? If so, get out there and start having affairs with your own teachers!There have been a number of games involved with teachers, but this is probably the first game, where all the heroines are teachers.

As if to ridicule people who don't believe in the existence of such monsters victims appear one after another in a swift succession. Meanwhile, the hero who works in the university encounters a girl. Upon that encounter, he feels "something" that can sacrifice even a precious and sacred life in that girl.

I don't have much to say about this game, so I'll keep informal review style. I mentioned that I found one positive Japanese review of this game and based on that decided to check it out myself. But there multiple negative Japanese reviews of this game, and, looking back, my impression is closer the second side.
Protagonist is some guy with glasses, Edward. He investigates nothing, he is not capable of standing against a vampire. All he can is go around and talk with everyone. Typical.
There are four heroines, but only one story. The choice of heroine does not really affect the story. The actual branching to see new H events only starts very late in the game. One of those four endings does not even progress to the last 7th chapter - should we praise developers for innovation of just giving an abrupt end?
The story is not particularly interesting either. Vampires keep insulting girls on full moon nights, and noone can do anything. At one of the crime sites Edward meets Fee who is actually the main heroine, but not because she has the most breathtaking route. She's just the only person who can actually fight and oppose vampire. All the guys in the game are just worthless weird detectives with smiling faces. Town is under a huge threat, but these guys just joke around in a really relaxing atmosphere. There's an explanation to this - assaults only happen on full moon nights, and such nights happen only roughly once a month. So between the chapters game can easily skip a month.
Overall comments: I did not really understand what was the point of the game. Just like any steampunk game it only can boast of the saturated atmosphere of the 19th century. I know what the atmosphere was like in the end of 19th century without this game, so what's the point? If it's supposed to be a charage, then I failed to see attractiveness of any heroine here. It's not a bad game, just a game without a single strong element.
Princess Knights is the only masterpiece of the month. This short month has literally nothing of interest, so I'm reviewing Sollunea
1. Princess Knights [020111] Mink 1 2 3 4
In a kingdom faraway… the royal family was dethroned overnight by its own general. The king tried to escape with his son, whereas the princess who was left behind was captured by the enemy. Alone, the general gave chase and managed to catch up to the king and the prince. The king fought the general, telling the prince that he had to run away, otherwise he’d be killed and the lineage of dragon would be eliminated. When the prince hesitated to run away, the king was mortally struck… and used his last energy to teleport the prince elsewhere, so that he was saved from the general.
The prince was found by a girl and her father, and was nursed back to health. However, everything that happened had crippled his spirit, and he didn’t have any wish to go and reclaim his kingdom. He was content to live with the girl and her father. But the general’s soldiers were still looking for him. One day they happened upon the house, and the girl’s father tried to protect the prince… and was killed. Before the soldier could go and kill him and the girl, he unleashed a power which killed all of the soldiers. This power was something he had for being of the dragon lineage, and is not something he could freely control. Afterwards, they buried the girl’s father… and the girl begged him to travel together. She wanted to get revenge for her father. Soon after, girls from various places and status joined him in his quest to reclaim the kingdom… to ultimately fulfill an old prophecy. Because there was an old prophecy that said that when the kingdom was in peril, it will be saved by someone of the dragon lineage and his queen….

Missing Parts is a detective game that drives the story through logical deductions and natural plot developments. Unlike games where you figure out the culprit by debating over all the evidence available, your job is to talk to people, gather evidence, and remember not only what people say but pay attention to small things that you are expected to remember.

Some strange side scroller view RPG with wide use of animation in H scenes. Battle system is very easy, but there's almost no story, so there's little satisfaction as RPG.

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.

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. Tokimeki Nya no☆Getchu! ときめき にゃの☆げっちゅ！ [020329] Com Channel
Comu-chan and Mike have moved. They don't know this town and have no place to live, so they stay at the inn and start searching for the suitable place. In the meantime they learn that the formerly joyful and lively Akiba Kingdom is now embraced into sinking atmosphere. The reason is that the main prize for the "Golden Compete" festival has been stolen, so there will be no celebration. Comu-chan and Mike swear in the sunset to return happiness to the people of Akiba Kingdom.
Wow, game is actually made by getchu in collaboration with Circus. It's a rare case of shameless self-promotion.

With this evidence, the boys begin their investigations and they'll use any method required in order to find the murderer. Through rape, manipulation and torture, they uncover important details, but piecing the puzzle together won't be easy. And the longer their search draws on, the more they feel themselves being overtaken by their own dark desires...

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...
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.

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.

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 are no masterpieces this month AGAIN. I hate D.C. ~Da Capo~ series so much that I'd prefer literally 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. Metal Wolf メタルウルフ [020627] Princess Soft 1
In the distant future, the planet is dominated by a single corporation. One of the lowest ranked employees, a man in the "Complaint Handling Division" called Hojo Minagi, finds an amnesiac girl called Larissa. A mysterious cult is targetting her, and Hojo must discover the secret she hides in her past and memories...
Decent story, likable heroines and use of animation and voicing make it a rather entertaining work. But nothing too sophisticated.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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.
22. 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.

15. Innai Kansen Shinya ni Hibiku Pon Chin Kan 淫内感染 深夜に響くポン・ちん・カン [020628] ZyX 1
This game is a Mahjong tournament against girls (most of then doctors/nurses) from the games of the popular Innai Kansen series. 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.

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.

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?

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.
Foreword: With Fuwa and vndbreview votes combined One 2 ~Eien no Yakusoku~ got 5 poll votes which is two votes more than closest competitor Masaru: Ashita no Yukinojou 2 has. I already mentioned that One 2 is a masterpiece, so it's time to present my reasoning. As usual, I only picked two heroines to capture while remaining four remain untouched (except for common route cameo).

Rating comments: Voice version is decent in every field
Protagonist: Kazuhiro gives away an aura of a reliable man in both routes that I played. With Ayame he's able to kindly disperse her antisocial attitude. With Haruka teacher he communicates as an equal from the very start, so their love story looks very natural.
Characters: There are five heroines in the original One2 game, but in voice version popular heroine was added to the cast. I played only two routes with most interesting personalities. Heroines with "Naive" personality are no good for me, and the rest of heroines are exactly like that.
Ayame is our short white hair mysterious anti-social beauty. She actually gets as many CG as presumable main heroine Nao, so I consider Ayame main heroine as well. Ayame is a great heroine, because she has such a difficult personality. She does not talk to strangers at all at start, then she just throws short cold phrases. The very first time Kazuhiro tags along her, she invites him to enter girl toilet, something that he does not dare to do. But as story goes on, she actually turns out to be friendly. She has a perfect reason to treat the rest of the world like that. Ayame had a kind and gentle twin-sister who spent a lot of time in the hospital. We get to see long flashback talks with sister talking to Kazuhiro which creates good mood. Then we get to know that sister ... just disappeared before Ayame one day, and everyone forgot about her. The only two persons who have recollections of sister are Ayame and Kazuhiro. This is the ground Ayame and Kazuhiro start to get closer. Ayame has a serious attitude most of the time, but she can also be emotional and somewhat even tsudere-ish, and her soft quiet "Baka" is just great.
Haruka is the teacher and the only grown-up heroine in the game. It would be pretty impossible to approach a normal formal teacher, but Haruka is no way like that. She loves talking to Kazuhiro about spies and laughs all the time. After Ayame route with zero humor in it, Haruka route looks very refreshing and funny. Her story of prodigy piano player is less impact-full than Ayame one, but decent enough.
Story: All six routes are united by the disappearing eternal world concept and the same school, but routes are written by two different writers and are very different. The absence of one formal main heroine puts an emphasis on diversity, and the eternal world concept is cleverly used to emphasize encounters, farewells, frustrations, forgetting and remembering. In original One it was the protagonist to travel to the eternal world and disappear, but here it's actually heroines that do that, so every heroine needs her special story and reason.
Overall comments: It's a strange nakige for it does not have gags or really impact-full heroines. Story is also bound to make ties to the eternal world concept, so it may look weird how so many heroines reached this point. But what game shines about is telling sincere beautiful memorable stories. Game has serious heroines, so even such nakige-hater as myself could enjoy it substantially.
There are no masterpieces this month. This is becoming a tradition! Guess Popotan can be called VN of the Month. I'm choosing Tamamayu ~Miserareta Mitsu no Ito~ for review. Girls with swords not as cool as with guns, but will do.
1. Tamamayu ~Miserareta Mitsu no Ito~ 玉繭 ～魅せられた蜜の糸～ [021206] Mireille
Mysterious girl Shoko suddenly transfers to main character's school. One day she confesses to protagonist, but gets rejected. She says she has an ability to control the darkness and is drawn to protagonist's inner darkness. But her attempts of mental control get blocked. At that point Shoko starts to involve people around protagonist. Will hero engulf in darkness or break free from it?
Game is rather story-oriented than H-oriented. There are a lot of overlapping parts in different routes. Occult part is thin. Basically only Shoko and Rei route stand out while others mimic Rei route. Not a masterpiece, but a fine choice for those grown tired of pure love stories.
2. Yotsuba no Clover ~Akane Sasu Tsukiyo ni Yakata Terasarete~ 四つ葉のクローバー～茜指す月夜に館照らされて～ [021206] Iridium 1
The protagonist, Kinoshita Kouichi, works for an insurance company and is sent to investigate the death of a famous painter. He goes to the painter's house and meets his four beautiful daughters. Can he solve the mystery without being killed himself?
A museum type game. Whatever you do, you get killed on initial run. There are too many places visit with few characters to see. Story is full of inconsistencies and it's not clear at all why sisters would wear maid uniform at home. Game is buggy and exhausting - a real kusoge.
3. Lime Iro Senkitan ~Meiji Nippon, Otome Sakimorisu.~ らいむいろ戦奇譚 ～明治日本、乙女防人ス。～ [021213] Elf 1 2 3
Around the the 37th year of the Meiji Era (1904) in the midst of the Russo-Japanese war, the small Japanese army, in need of assistance, uses its special flying (thanks to a benevolent demon) ship, the Amanohara, to attack Russia's major base at Port Arthur (Lushun).
Umakai Shintaro, a Russian diplomat originally from Japan, defects and goes to Sapporo to teach at a girls academy. However, that girls academy is not typical - it is on board the Amanohara, and the five girls Shintaro teaches are known as the Lime Unit - girls with the ability to summon powerful beings to fight for them.
There is an English review.
4. Mission of Murder [021213] Mink
The story took place in a city which never slept. A city of alcohol, drugs and sex. A city of pleasure and desire.
In that city lived an assassin called D, whose name or nationality were unknown. The underworld feared him, calling him "the Angel of Death". One day, D received a request from a mysterious girl, Shinmei Tsubasa, who claimed to be the daughter of the Head of the Shinmei Ecology Lab. The lab was burnt down three days ago and everyone, Tsubasa included, was supposed to be dead. The girl said her life was in danger and wanted D to become her bodyguard.
Each of five regular chapters are devoted to individual requests. There is intermission before each chapter to advance the plot. ADV part is mostly to upgrade equipment. RPG part is quite simple. There are supernatural fantasy elements that ruin the whole hard-boiled sci-fi synopsis and make it what it really is - a kusoge.
5. Narikiri Princess ~Onna ni Natta Boku o Mite!~ なりきりプリンセス～女になったボクを見て！～ [021213] Zero
You are to join the school's drama club, but the high-handed club president dresses you up as a girl and introduces you to the other club members as a girl.
It's unexpected to see Zero making something other than nukige. Game has its share of H, but overall it's a low quality low price love comedy. Protagonist is barely shown and he acts so normally that it's really not clear why the whole trap thing needed to be done.
6. Popotan ぽぽたん [021213] Petit Ferret 1
The player assumes the role of Chris, the protagonist of Popotan. Chris is a high school dropout who dislikes the direction of society and refuses to get a job. He wanders the streets making a living as a guitar-playing busker. He feels he cannot play well without an audience, which is hard to find as a drifter. The other main characters include three sisters and their maid who live in a western-style mansion. Ai is the eldest of the three and communicates with plants. Mai is the middle sister; she is a tomboy and disapproves of Chris's behavior. Mii is the youngest and the most energetic; she often cosplays as "Magical Girl Mii" and helps people. Their maid Mea appears emotionless at first, but reveals hidden depth later in the story.
Popotan takes place in the distant future within the remnants of Tokyo, destroyed by a cataclysm and since altered by geological transformations. The disaster was caused by a giant dandelion structure resembling a spire that arose in the city atop a hill. The main location of the game is a European-style mansion, seen as completely out-of-place in the city. Much of the daytime is spent outside the mansion wandering around town meeting characters and triggering event sequences. Popotan follows Chris's lifestyle changes, as well as the mysteries surrounding the spire-like object that caused the destruction of Tokyo in the past. The story opens as Chris desperately considers stealing food from a stand near a shrine entrance. His theft is unsuccessful, and he wanders around town looking for work. He finds a convenience store, where he gets directions leading him to the mansion. He enters without asking permission and runs into the three sisters and their lifelike android maid. Chris asks permission to stay because the rent is cheap and the girls are pretty; they consent, but force him to take a part-time job. The convenience store owner hires him, and as the story progresses, Chris opens up socially and begins caring about others as he interacts with the girls. He also meets new friends, including a classmate Konami, a local shrine maiden named Nono and a mysterious girl named Shizuku.
Game is not blocked by me as Lolicon only because it has an all-age PS2 version.
7. Sengoku If 戦国 if [021213] Rune
Sengoku era.
Main character is born in the family of a powerful daimyo. During his ceremony of coming of age father gets killed putting protagonist in the head of the family. He is guided by his uncle, but there is no more time to waste. Chaos of war approaches this province.
We can choose one of five provinces and aim for princesses of other provinces. Idea of sengoku card game is not bad, but here balance is terrible. It's easy to get stuck. Combo conditions are fulfilled rarely, so it's gets down to simple attacking most of the time. For some reason all the warriors have the same name even though pictures are different, that really kills immersion.
8. Piano Forte [021218] BeF
Main character is an aspiring pianist. He starts his career in a different province and now comes to visit his home town. His family has always lived heart-to-heart with the neighbor family. This is a story of protagonist cheerful time spent in both families during his visit.
Comedy is nice here, but game is just too short to take it seriously at all.
9. Erde ~Nezu no Ki no Shita de~ Erde ～ネズの樹の下で～ [021219] KID 1 2
One day, a motorcycle crashes into Takumi's house, an ordinary man living in a village. The driver of the motorcycle is Yoko, a traveller who wants to discover the world. As a payment, she wants to stay in Takumi's house for a while. During her stay, Takumi starts asking himself if he should also start discovering new things...
Game shines for slice-of-life scenes, but there's lack of explanation in many scenes which makes it difficult to grasp situation. Play time is just around 3 hours.
10. The Ren'ai Simulation ~Watashi ni Oma Cafe~ THE 恋愛シミュレーション ～私におまカフェ～ [021219]
Main character follows the will of deceased parents and becomes a manager in a coffee shop in his free from study time. He becomes famous in town as the only high school manager. Can he have both work and love with so many pretty waitresses around?
Classic dating SIM with parameters and schedule.
11. Triangle Again 2 [021219] Kiki Co., Ltd. 1
Triangle Again 2 continues where the story left off in the previous installment. In Triangle Again, a highly talented, young pop star had to fight her way back to the top, after her voice changed. The second game will begin after her comeback.
All depends on prequel evaluation.
12. Aqua Blue [021220] Giga 1
Every year there is a nationwide high school girl contest. The winner will have a chance to make an idol debut backed by the event's sponsor. However this year's contest has a new sponsor and things are slightly different this time around...
There is an English review.
13. Double Mind だぶるまいんど [021220] F&C FC02
Main character moves to a port town apartment left from his grandmother. He has many cute girls as neighbors. But two personalities dwell in the protagonist. Will angel or devil in him take over?
Game has very high capture difficulty level, but at the same time game system is made in such a way to make capture even more tormenting. Scenario is weak. Game can be played both as pure love and devil game, depending on chosen personality.
14. Innocent World [021220] Dress
Main character is sent to a university by her father. He finds no joy in study till the day his never encountered sister asks for a meeting at the antique shop. This place allows to meet the same girls in another world and understand them better in the real world.
Scenario is long, but uneventful, so interest fades relatively fast. Still, enjoying the atmosphere in slow pace is possible. Initial route takes around 5 hours and covers 17 days.
15. Moldavite モルダヴァイト [021220] Clover
Meteorite falls from the sky. Its study boosts technology triggering multiple years of war. Many years have passed since the fall. Main character is a boy with a dream to become the best summoner in the world. One day he overhears a story of powerful legendary cards. He travels to the foreign land to gather all these cards.
Conquer territories and meet beautiful girls. Battles aren't totally boring since conditions for winning vary. Capturing is difficult since a lot of conditions need to be fulfilled for each girl.
16. Platinum Wind ~Hoshi no Uta ga Kikoetara~ プラチナウインド～星の詩が聞こえたら～ [021220] Clover
Albeit tiny, the kingdom of Quartet is prosperous thanks to a mysterious magical light (known as "Platina") that envelops the region. In this bustling city, an alchemist returns home after his apprenticeship.
Moege with six heroines. Common route takes most of the time while heroines routes feel too short and forced.
17. Sayorana Etranger さよらなエトランジュ [021220] Clover
Main character is recovered from a frozen state after cure to his illness is discovered. As a result he loses his memories. He feels very lonely with no familiar face and being thrown 200 years in the future, but cheerful girl Haruka colors his world. Little by little he starts to open his heart to Haruka and with that acknowledges his position in this new world.
A decent nakige. Game is developed in three chapters - first atmospheric intro, then school common route and finally heroine routes without choices in them. All heroines are attractive, but Haruka route is definitely the main one which may make other routes look pale.
18. Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito ヤミと帽子と本の旅人 [021220] Root 1
Story begins with a girl from our world who's taken to a strange, magical realm by a dragon. She apparently was taken to the library where all past, present, and future realities are kept within the books. You play as a guy who has come from one of these books as well, but has forgotten his way back home. You are commissioned to find this girl by the denizens of the library, and you search by entering these tomes. Perhaps on your way you'll find your own origin as well .
Game that incorporates characters from several games to create metastory akin to Age Maniax. But this time it's middle price game, so first class product can't be expected. Same as Kao no nai Tsuki, Carnelian makes CG for the game, and the atmosphere is good here as well. But overall game lacks excitement and gets boring. There is anime version for those who want to sample it.
19. Getchu Ya★Getchu!! げっちゅ屋★げっちゅ！！ [021220] Com Channel
Comu-chan worked with her rival to solve the case about the stolen prize, and her efforts were recognized by the Akiba Kingdom. Finally Comu-chan becomes manager of her own cute Getchu store! In order to win National Founding Festival and enliven this kingdom she must work hard with Mike and outpace all the rivals.
It's kind of SIM this time, so no-no
20. The Suiri ~Aratanaru 20 no Jikenbo~ THE推理 〜新たなる20の事件簿〜 [021226] Tomcat System 1
Player becomes a detective that has to unravel the mystery of incidents. There are 20 episodes each taking from 5 to 15 minutes. Collects tips by clicking on the screen and then answer the questions.
Some detective pulp fiction.
21. Cake x 3! -Ichigo Ichie- ケーキ×3!-苺いちえ- [021227] Frau
Main character hears about a cake contest with the first prize of ability to open his own shop. He does not even have a finalized recipe of the cake. Can he really win?
Pace and text are bad. It's difficult to find anything good in this game... maybe music?
22. Girigiri Love ぎりギリLOVE [021227] Hayashigumi
Main character's father remarries and brings new family to live together. But soon protagonist's childhood friend Kana dies, and he flees from this town to study abroad. A few years later he returns to his home town, familiar yet so different already.
Mother-in-law and sister-in-law get all the attention here rendering sub-character hardly noticeable. There are many endings, but they all are very similar. Game is short and over in just 2 hours.
23. Guren Tenshou -Rasetsu- 紅蓮天衝－羅刹－ [021227] Zone 1
Guren Tenshou: Rasetsu directly continues the story that began in the first and was continued in Guren Tensho: Shura. After Lee Rekka and his all-female Guren squad have defeated the evil organization of Tetsu ("iron") in the previous game, they thought that there would be finally a chance for peace in the old Japan. But then came the assassination attempt on a commander of Guren. The trace leads to the assassin Naotaka. Rekka and his companions have to chase him down, but they aren't ready for another surprise: the remnants of the Tetsu clan raise their ugly heads again...
Rasetsu follows the non-RPG template of its predecessor, rather than returning to the RPG roots of the series. A large bulk of the gameplay is the same as in "Shura": listening to/reading dialogues, being automatically taken to locations and from time a time participate in pre-set turn-based battles. There is however an important gameplay mode that makes "Rasetsu" a strategy game: in dungeons, the player has to throw dice to navigate the hero over top-down corridors with grids. Depending on the number on the dice, the hero advances to different grids, which results in battles, poison traps, items, healing spots, or puzzle pieces that are needed to unravel anime-style pictures of the Guren girls.
There are several mini-games, but most irritating is that CG are picked up randomly like drop. As a game, it's really boring. Just as the prequel the only attraction point is CG.
24. Imouto de Ikou! 妹でいこう！ [021227] 0verflow
Hisashi Yoshizumi lost his mother at a very young age, and has always lived with his father. One day after arriving from school, he finds out that he has a new mother and sister! A heartwarming family comedy ensues.
Unlike previous games of 0verflow this one is quite usual heartwarming comedy. There are a lot of heroines for capture, but none of them has drama, so all these light positive stories look quite alike. With so many heroines overall volume is lacking.
25. Men at Work! 3 ~Hunter-tachi no Seishun~ メンアットワーク！３～ハンター達の青春～ [021227] Studio e.go!
In the deep forest of Europe there is a school focused on natural sciences and mysticism. But its true purpose is to pass thousand-year old knowledge of monster hunting with the use of magic. Women have natural predisposition for this profession, so main character Ryle becomes the only male student here. He even gets to stay at girls' dormitory! This is world's paradise provided that he can find common language with the girl students.
Synopsis has not really changed since 2nd installment, but hey, it's not a game about the story. Capturing girls with all this study, quests and timetables is not a simple task. System is more advanced than in Izumo, but I really prefer story-driven games like Izumo to sandbox-oriented games like Men at Work.
26. One and Only [021227] Sirius
The protagonist is a popular guy. However, no-one has asked him out. When he was a child, an accident meant he had to move away. But he made a promise to a childhood friend. "I'll definitely return to this street." That was 10 years ago, and he has been waiting day after day to return to the girl...
Scenario is strange here since the promise is given only to main heroine, so it's unclear how protagonist can chase sub-heroines in this situation. Big number of heroines. Overall a pure love game, even though blood related sister is involved as well.
27. Melty Blood [021230] Type-Moon 1 2 3 4 5 Tohno Shiki hears of a new series of murders in Misaki similar to the ones that took place in Tsukihime. Whilst searching for the murderer he meets Sion Eltnam Atlasia who initiates a fight with him, attempting to capture him. After the fight she reveals that her reason for attempting to capture him is to get in contact with the "True Ancestor" (referring to Arcueid) so that she may acquire information on the "cure for vampirism". Shiki then decides to help her with this task.
Melty Blood is a 2D fighting game. The first couple of PC releases had adventure style stories with branches and multiple number of endings and a secondary story in arcade mode. Later versions only have the arcade mode, but they have many more characters.
There are English reviews.

6 years ago - the young student protagonist (while living with his parents?) had an unrequited love for a young OL - Sakurazawa Nanako - who lived alone in the next apartment. Sometimes he'd hear sounds of Nanako in her room separated from his by just the wall, especially the sounds of her showering. He indulged in masturbation every night while imagining her shower scene. He found that he could peep into her bathroom if he leaned out from his balcony. However, she also had had simple conversations with him, knew that the he had begun job hunting, and even given him a job guide book that she had used. To this end, he entered her apartment for the first time with a throbbing heart. One day he crashed into her while she was taking out her trash. Things became awkward when used condoms spilled out, and he began to intensely masturbate every night imagining her sex life. Nanako eventually noticed the feelings of the young student, and promised him "I'll have sex with you once you've passed the employment test"! The student kicked it into gear and gave his all to studying, but then shortly afterwards, he found that Nanako had suddenly moved away. He became desperate, spent his savings on losing his virginity in the late-night city, and abandoned the employment test. Eventually he slipped unnoticed into the underworld of professional mahjong masters. Still to this day, he seeks opponents for the game, aiming for money and older married women.

5. Inmyouji 淫陽師 [021206] Fruit

After some bizarre adventures, I return to Japan and decide to move into my uncle's house where I can help him run his restaurant. Imagine my surprise when several beautiful girls approach me to tell me how happy they are that we'll be working together. First, there's Himeko, who tells me she'll do anything for me, followed by Chizuru, a beautiful girl who lives in the neighborhood who wants to shower me with attention. Takano, a gorgeous girl from my class, also confesses her desire to do anything she can for me, as does Leo, the quiet girl who lives and works at the restaurant. At first I think they're just happy that I wasn't killed in the car accident, but gradually I realize that they've all fallen in love with me for some bizarre reason. The girls are spending every moment they can, taking care of me and giving me all their attention. Am I the luckiest guy in the world, or what?

Foreword: RSR is the last big game of Sogna. I can't pass without saying farewell.
Title: Viper-RSR
Developer: Sogna
Date: 2002-07-31
VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v970
Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsrmSBbNUMM
Synopsis: 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...
Structure: 8 chapters
Length: 3 hours.
Game type: Fantasy
Difficulty: None
Character Design rating: 10/10
Protagonist rating: 7/10
Story rating: 3/10
Game quality: 8/10
Overall rating: 7/10
RSR is not a good game per se. RPG part is non-existing, purely decorational. Story is quite simple, without much fancy and with usual Sogna motives. So why is it different from all its previous big games?
RSR is revolutionary in the amount of efforts needed to reach animated H scenes - here it's done by introducing a map and characters moving through it very slowly while triggering hundreds of random fights, literally a fight each few steps.
Game is blamed for too high price of 9800 yen, too long time in development (it was planned to be released in 1999 and then was postponed many times - and it's the last game in Japanese game history to be released on diskettes as well with the number being 42 if I recall correctly), too short H scenes, absence of pure love scenes.
But what does it really shine for? First is main heroine Cala. She's the most sexy heroine ever created. For me that's a given, and can't be changed.
Secondly, only this game managed to raise monster insult appeal to the highs not yet imaginable. I do not know whether it's inner censor or lack of skill to blame, but there is no work in the whole genre even comparable to RSR.
I mentioned that story is weak, but what I liked is that story does not end with Cala saved. Story goes on to save princess Julieta. And I especially liked that the ending is orthodox viper, not like an ending everyone else would have.
So it's a contradictory game, but with battles cut it becomes the legendary eroge that changed history for me.
