Finally some competition! I rate all of Viper-F40, Nails and Moon. as masterpieces. But Moon. is the one that leaves the biggest impact.
1. Chaos Blood カオスブラッド [971107] Ange
Komiya Soma is leading a casual university life, but one night he gets involved into strange case. A student girl stood naked on the rooftop, repeating meaningless words and eventually starting to pee.
It was only the first of a series of incidents to arise in the future...
Minor work. Ugly character design. Story is tilt to weird fetishes and the synopsis is set just to show them. There are three routes, each featuring two different girls.
2. Collector ~Seifuku no Mezameru Toki~ コレクター ～制服の目覚める時～ [971107] Melody 1
The story behind Collector is that the main character has attended a well-reputed high school for a long time. Yet, the main character was disgust by their strict school policy and the boredom in the school. He wanted something interesting besides attending school and go home. And thus, the main character participated in a strange club that his friend has introduced to him. In this club, the main goal is to seduce girls to the clubhouse and rape them! And guess what? The main character is assigned as the person who will be responsible to bring the girls to the clubhouse. From here on, your quest of hunting down girls begins.
There is an English review.
3. Kenshuui 研修医 [971107] Vector
Uchi Yamagami graduated from a medical faculty a year ago. He worked at a public hospital and now decided to change workplace for a private recently opened hospital. He has views for six pretty women around, but at the same time he needs to solve hospital's new problem - principal's wife caused a riot and a big contract was cancelled. Moreover coworker pharmacist is behaving suspiciously. Hero will need to solve all the problems.
The choice of a girl depends on the type of work chosen every day. In the dialogue there are options to raise and lover favorability.
4. Kinjirareta Asobi 禁じられた遊び [971107] Vision
Protagonist receives a funny flier from a woman with butterfly glasses on the way back from the company. It advertises a relaxing machine that makes sexual dreams true. He pays a visit to the place and meets another woman with butterfly glasses...
Ero-centered game without text, voice only. Lots of animation as always with Vision.
5. Kokuhaku 告白 [971107] Guilty
Three high school girls confess their problems to main character who works as a counselor. He will need to find the right approach to each of them.
Girls have very difficult sexual problems relating to different fetishes. And it's impossible to get to true endings till the normal endings for each girl is got. A very exhausting game.
6. Megami no Hohoemi 女神の微笑み [971107] Palette (old)
Humans are extinct, only computer "CZ 25" with a will keeps existing. He strongly wished to see his creator and other human beings, and one day the goddess of time comes before him. She decides to change the past in order to fulfill his wish.
Modern time. Takuya Saito fell ill on the day of exams and now he is a ronin. One day Takuya is inspired by old friend Hiroyuki to become a high school graduate. What fate awaits Takuya?
Multi-ending ADV. There are five girls to clear and story develops by moving around and triggering events. There are several chapters with the cutest girl in the final chapter. Story development is unnatural, same as goddess of time part looks irrelevant. There is no hint that with some ending future was going to change. Game feels incomplete.
7. NyanNyan Dream にゃんにゃんドリーム [971107] Misty
An old main is travelling around secluded locations to pick up little girls.
Stupid loli game, and it's not even nanpa, just H.
8. Viper-F40 [971107] Sogna 1 2
A police investigation unfolds as detective Lilia and her freelancing friend Raika attempt to solve the mystery of three missing persons. Their investigation draws the ire of a small gang...
There are two reviews of this game, including mine.
9. Nails ~Beginning of Your Heart Beat~ [971114] Jam
People and nail people share the same continent and are in constant struggle against each other. At some point a relative peace has been settled and both populations continued to coexist in several smaller nations.
The stage is Altair Kingdom.
Jam Rock is a famous swordsman. One day on the way home from the swordsmen dojo, he helped a girl chased by suspicious men. She only remembered here name - Minwi. She turned out to be a shrine maid of Theinhad Temple and her memory was sealed for some reason. Jam Rock decided to take her to the Temple of Zainhad, but he was declared as Minwi kidnapper.
Two people passed through the security net and reached the Temple of Zainhad. However, Minnie could not remember anything. That night Minwi was kidnapped by the nail people with a probable aim to bring her as sacrifice to gods.
Jam Rock's rescue adventure is only beginning now.
Dungeon crawl RPG or maybe SIM with map travel because there are no levels or stats. Changing the destination map changes characters that will become friends. Party characters have favorability scale and it rises whenever they are praised. There are 8 girls to clear and 23 endings overall. Battle is turn-based command selection. Controls is mouse only and you need to choose action, then target, then confirm, so three mouse actions for each character in each turn. There are random encounters happening all the time. So it's actually a masterpiece level game.
10. Reversible Karte RK リバーシブルカルテ RK [971114] Black Package
A young psychiatrist, Kyogoku Kazuya looks over patients at the prestigious Psychiatric Ward every day. From the day when his girlfriend was killed in front of him, strange cases of women being insulted by patients started to happen in the hospital. What causes those incidents?
ADV with favorability of heroines depending on the number of hitting their flags. The routes aren't really connected and there is no single theme - just loosely placed individual stories. It's not a dark themed game, but rather a charage in a weird setting.
11. Toriko 2 虜2 [971114] D.O.
A woman comes to main character as a tutor. As soon as she recognizes a sadist in protagonist, she requests to train a strange girl Rikako as a slave, as well as her two sisters. This isolated mountain cottage becomes a territory of domination and obedience.
Well, there is more articulate synopsis, but who cares. It still will be an insulting training SIM. Main character is different this time. It's reported that sequel became more complex and sophisticated, but I'm not going to check that.
12. Xtasy [971115] Dollhouse
Yusuke Kubota tries to give a birthday present to his childhood friend Hikaru and lassmate Miyuki. When he was approaching, both girls disappeared and then he himself was also teleported to a mysterious island. With the two girls he needs to find the clue about the shining stone that teleported them and return home.
It's essentially an RPG. There are even enemies to beat as well as parameters to grow. Movement has to be done with a mouse. Message autoplay can be turned on, but with no speed regulation. There's no recollection mode. So it's an exploration game with not very comfortable system and mediocre graphics (even though CG are ok).
13. Moon. [971121] Tactics 1 2 3 4 5 6
The story follows a young girl named Amasawa Ikumi who follows the recent death of her mother to an organization known as FARGO. Ikumi joins FARGO and uncovers their disturbing nature of harnessing psychic abilities through torture.
Game is localized and has many English reviews.
14. Gen'ei Choukyou Club 幻影調教倶楽部 [971128] J-Box
Hero who is given name Ryu is invited to join private videophone club by his school teacher. The purpose of this club called "Snake Pit" is to gather people with abnormal sexual preferences and share experiences.
Nothing I can enjoy. Just phone talks with H.
15. Hatsune No Naisho!! 初音のないしょ!! [971128] Leaf 1
Hatsune no Naishou is a collection of Leaf's mini games that any Leaf's fan should not miss. The CD contains several cute mini software including some mini games, screen saver, wallpaper, and CD player. The mini games packed in the CD include a mini action game called Heart By Heart with characters from To Heart, a mini RPG game called Leaf Fighting 97, To Heart Omake, and of course the adventure game Hastune no Naishou.
There is an English review.
16. Kemono no Sumu Kousha 獣の棲む校舎 [971128]
Ikuro Makita is a recently transferred professor at girls' high school. He gets a request from the director to investigate the circumstances of his son death that's reported to be a suicide.
You need to choose various places at school during day and sometimes night and that passes time. But there's a limited amount of time given, so wandering aimlessly inevitably leads to game over. The only review around says that the fame freezes at the second part of the game, so maybe we'll know of the exciting story from the game's sequel.
17. Lofty Form [971128] Aaru 1
Yakushiji Shion is the eldest son from the clan punishes bad people. But after he assassinated Empire's shadow Kurobe Akiyoushi, it is regarded as a rebellion against the Empire. He gathers the clan and moves towards the North. Every day they are attacked by pursuers. At the same time he is chased by the girl Hiramatsu Yae who fell in love with Shion.
Wow. Just wow. A serious samurai story somewhere in Edo period... Hero is too serious so it's others that fill in the gaps with everyday life scenes gags. Just imagine warriors talking about strange things with serious face, soft kind of humor. Hero literally has 30 lines in the beginning and hardly 100 lines by the end of the game, his presence is not felt at all. There aren't even his thoughts. Game has brilliant vivid and very beautiful CG, lots of cool enemies and gore. Characters are very likable as well. The game is not without the faults. The speechless protagonists is a questionable move. There's an influx of events by the end of the game and abrupt ending. There are a lot of women caught up in between the warring sides... well, it might be an advantage, actually. But I consider this game a masterpiece. In 1997 I only expected entertainment stories. Or maybe I just love samurai stories too much.
18. Mugen 夢限 [971128] Trush
Dream control system is invented which allows to travel to artificially created dreams. At first it was used only in medical treatment, but since 1999 became wide spread for stress relief. You are an operator who controls such machine. You need to choose your customer and lead him through the dream so that they like it.
Three customers, several types of dreams which somehow eventually end with a H scene.
19. Namida ~Ryuusei no Saddle~ 涙 ～流星のサドル～ [971128] Zero
Aizaki Shinobi is hero's first love. Her mood has dropped as of late and she started to avoid hero. He needs to get to know what's happening to his dear friend.
A really trashy game. There are only four locations to move around and that constantly triggers new girls appearance. Talk to them twice in a favorable way and they invite to spend a night together. It's nice that the game does not really end with that and you can break up with any girl after. Aizaki is the most difficult to capture. There are couple mingames at hero's room, but overall I got a really negative impression, probably because awaited a serious game.
20. Shinsetsu Kamiya Ukyou ~Untrue~ 真説 神谷右京 ～Untrue～ [971128] Altacia
Events take place between those happening in Ivory Tower and Missing Link. There is no detective story this time. Instead, there is a story of human relations. The client is a girl who had a relative stabbed in the heart. That's the fact that can can no longer be divided between falsehood and truth... "Untrue".
The heroine changed from the Missing Link, but has the same type of mind. The work is more about portrayal of a complex person's feelings and Ukyou ability to foresee the results of every minor action to the future. The work is based on contrast with the other vomules of the series, but almost all of Ukyou visual novels are very difficult to find to make comparisons.
Foreword: There is a good number of English reviews on this game (1 2 3 4), but those are all kinda short and non-structured. Now I know why and mine won't be an exception. You'll know why soon enough as well.
Title: Kuon no Kizuna
Developer: FOG
Date: 1998-12-03
VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v2773
Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLENAECnNmAq-CHIuWBfnU3DYzNCEcLjcV
Synopsis: This story starts out from the perspective of a high school student. One day a transfer student comes to his school, and tells him she’ll kill him. At the same time, he starts seeing weird dreams and people mysteriously gets killed in his city. Soon he realizes that them two are incarnated personalities of a man and a goddess that fell in love 1000 years ago. Since then, they have been trapped in a cycle of reincarnation and a battle against an evil god.
Length: Took me 66 hours for all routes.
Game type: ADV with choices and couple easy battles.
Difficulty: I followed walkthrough, so not too sure on difficulty. There are some fake choices, but there are also choices that lead to game over. And there are a LOT of choices, so it must be quite difficult.
Character Design rating: 7/10
Protagonist rating: 8/10
Story rating: 6/10
Game quality: 9/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Rating comments: This is one of the most ambitious projects I've ever seen. Just imagine - 66 hours. 66 hours of not raising stats, killing monsters or chasing girls over and over. 66 hours of pure text reading time. There's nothing like that in the 1990s and it won't be beaten till 2000s. You know, in many Japanese reviews of the time volume is a very important factor and there's often such criteria as cost-efficiency. Visual novels cost a lot and compared to solid books they used to lose all the time. But everything changed with Kuon no Kizuna. It became a paragon for both volume and visuals.
I liked protagonist and characters enough, but they don't become cozy. They remain transcendent beings piercing the veil of time in an epic story, not really likable characters who I could respect for their characters or decisions, that's why it's 7/10. The story is indeed epic, but it does not go smoothly. We jump from reality to three periods all the time and the shifts aren't really explained, they just happen. I also did not like it that the first half of the story is pretty much the same for all three heroines and we just have to read it three times with little variation. That makes story only 6/10. But the quality of the game is superb, especially with full voice (excluding the protagonist though). The graphics are stunning and visual effects amazing. No complaints with the quality.
Protagonist: Mikado Takeru is a strong protagonist as he constantly has to protect those who are dear to him and he's the only one who can oppose demonic forces thanks to his demonic heritage. He's a one man army and hardly ever gets any help from the side. He'd be more realistic with voice, but he's quite cool even as he is now.
Characters: There are three heroines who have their own routes.
Takahara Mayou is our mysterious transfer student who greets Takeru for the first time with words "This time I will definitely kill you".
Itsuki Shiori is a childhood friend who Takeru lives with under the same roof.
Tokiwa Saya is the class teacher.
Story: The rant part. So each heroine has her route... but it's the same route, at least for the first half of it. In the second half some periods are developed for each heroine, but still there's a very strong feeling that you're watching the same story and it irritates a lot.
There are four periods: Heian, Genroku, Bakumatsu, and the present. Present and Heian are really the same and those are the most boring parts, especially Heian. Heian focuses on a an ancient period of Japanese history where nothing really happened for dozens of years and that's why it's full of myths and legends - because there was nothing to do there. In Kuon no Kizuna Heian is when beasts invasion starts and it differentiates just a bit in the end depending on the heroine chosen throughout it. I especially liked Bakumatsu period for meeting and fighting alongside Shinsengumi (and sometimes against) and kunoichi.
But there is a great problem with these periods - they aren't really connected to each other. People can die there or love there and in next period everything starts from scratch. That creates the feeling of multiple stories and I really dislike that genre. Nothing really happens throughout those stories, then beasts arrive, the short drama and it's over. Heroines aren't really able to hold attention. But what's worse, the heroine of your choice have play very small role till the very end of each part.
But then comes the fantastic Special route №1 that arrived later with remake as an attempt to tighten the crumbling main story. Special route №1 lasts for some 7 hours, holds a totally new epic story with really great enemies and is a great ending for all the characters, so I can't praise it enough.
The Special routes №2 and №3 are there for comic relief after all that superserious narration.
So overall the story really sucks, repeats itself in routes and has poor tempo. But the great special route makes up for it.
CG: Just fantastic. See for yourself.
Sound: I really appreciated full voicing and beautiful BGM. That kept me from sleeping.
Overall comments: This game was created to surprise the imagination. It has huge length and astonishing visuals, but there still was no culture of such huge coherent stories - thus the multiple periods format with lousy links between them. Dialogues are long and not too meaningful, fights are inevitably dull and poorly written, heroines fail to catch attention and the absence of humor makes it all a real torture. The sudden jumps between periods only add to the confusion. But this game bears a huge importance for the industry as it made long story-driven visual novels without gameplay elements viable while only dating SIMs, charage and nukige governed the ball.
Love Forever and Lipstick Adv.EX are the masterpieces of the month, but I prefer Lipstick Adv.EX
1. Élan エラン [990401] Visco
A plan to migrate humanity to the planet "Elan" is created, the Elan Project.
In order to select suitable people to join the project many boys and girls with great mental ability are gathered in the research city Alpha.
The protagonist is one of the best candidates, and while acquiring training they interact with the other candidates.
While conversing with the other candidates there aren't just the usual conversation options. It is also possible to choose Happy/Normal/Sad/Mad emotional type responses.
Well, it's half an otome game since you can choose either gender, but I'll only tackle galge part ofc. Dating SIM with intensive SIM part. Game part is tedious, events are commonplace. Characters are too many and too underdeveloped.
2. Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series Vol. 3: Tabidachi no Uta ときめきメモリアルドラマシリーズ Vol.3 旅立ちの詩 [990401] Konami 1 2
Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series vol.3 Tabidachi no Uta ("Poem of Journeys") features both Shiori Fujisaki and Miharu Tatebayashi sharing a similar story about the player running a marathon just before graduation that branches off into different directions depending on which girl you choose to pursue.
Game takes 10 days before graduation. Unlike first two volumes this game has hero parameters that a raised by winning main marathon and other mini-games, including even guitar mini-games from second volume. Game feels inferior to first two volumes due to short period and lack of side characters. It was supposed to be the final game in series, thus the graduation poetic atmosphere, but as we know now the claim to be the final game in the series was GREATLY exaggerated.
3. Power Pro Kun Pocket パワプロクンポケット [990401] Konami
Spin-off of Konami's baseball game series Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu. Unlike the main series, it focuses on story and dating sim components.
SIM
4. Another World 穴座悪奴～Another World～ [990402] G-Crazy
The smallest independent country in the Atlantic Ocean, the Republic of Samaria. It's a peaceful city, but fire breaks out, gunfire is heard and people are evacuated from the streets. Something dreadful approaches and you're a part of public safety forces to oppose it...
Just 3D dungeon exploration similar to Blood Seed 2, but we're the good guys here. Our enemies are some mutants. It's hardly a visual novel, but there's not a single review to even observe it as an RPG. Fights are not just turn based ones, but there's time gauge required to make actions which looks life FF series games.
5. Mahou Shoujo Meruru ~Kamigami no Shihou o Motomete~ 魔法少女メルル～神々の至宝を求めて～ [990402] Akatonbo
Meruru is sent on a journey to collect 3 jewels for master wizard. But she's so light-minded that she forgot to take map with her. Young sorcerer Nicola catches up with her bringing the map and joins her on this journey.
Story is single road with mingames that use some form of roulette. On minigame failure the situation deteriorates and we usually get so see some H scene, but it's still impossible to lose - after several failures Meruru recovers herself. But those mingames and choices determine the game outcome - whether protagonist Nicolas plays a proactive role or becomes an errand boy for Meruru. There's a lot of animation and game's nice to watch.
6. Nie 贄 NIE [990402] Hyperspace
Hero is a prosperous company owner. There are three families on the brink of collapse who desperately need assistance and offer girls for hero to marry. Hero does not mind accepting such sacrifice, but he needs to select the most enduring one of them to satisfy his personal needs.
The start of disgusting Nie series. It's of SM type and features only traditional japanese women in yakata.
7. Night Face ~Haitoku no Kikoushi~ NIGHT FACE ～背徳の貴公子～ [990402] Infinity
Hero used to work in a host club, but left it after his girlfriend dumped him for a more successful host. Now hero starts his own host enterprise. At this time the lover of his former girlfriend shows up and offers a challenge between them since there can be only one king of the night in the city.
What good can come out of competition of two men to seduce as many women as possible? I found nothing special in the game.
8. Kyozou Teien ~Shoujo no Chiru Basho~ 虚像庭園 ～少女の散る場所～ [990408] Black Package Try
A guy got lost and ran out of gas. He ended up at a mansion where a girl and her maid lives. He is invited to stay until their guardian's monthly visit. When she arrived, he found out that this girl is the one that his brother died to save from a car accident. Thinking that she likes him only as his brother, he decided to make them into pets. Will he live happy or master?
Since it's Black package, it's inevitably a nukige. The good things about the game is that you can always see the chart and thus the branching and the endings. There is also voicing.
9. Angel Court [990409] R.A.N Software
Richard Baguel is a young businessman and a competent architecture designer. By a twist of fate he gets to the heavens and with a divide intervention he gets to change his destiny.
Story is quite loose. There is full voicing. It's basically a pure love story and the degree of H-events is not very high. There are very few choices. Protagonist is quite good - kind of charming playboy businessman, and he's voiced as well.
10. Binetsu Jounetsu 微熱・情熱 [990409] Cat's Pro.
Yoshio Kusunoki was drinking with an old man at the bar. He was told that a mansion not far from the town has only girls as workers and now is recruiting. The next morning that old man died of heart attack in an alley and Yoshio looked at his last words about the mansion as a testament and set off for the mansion.
Cat's Pro is a notable game brand from PC-98 era and it returns after 5 years of slumber. Game period is five months including three months of a trial period. Each day consists of morning and evening with a rest time between them. If you do not work, you get mansion destruction point and with three points it's game over. But losing characters sympathy is even worse. There are six heroines to win attention of. So it's quite a boring game that's saved only by its small volume of about 4 hours altogether.
11. Datenshi Bokujou ~Fallen Angel~ 堕天使牧場 ～Fallen Angel～ [990409] M'
There is a world where only women are born. Occasionally a man is sent from the sky to maintain population. Here is such man who has no memory of previous life. Unlike earlier sent men he's not a crude person. He wants to get memories back.
There are six heroines to capture. There are BAD ENDs as well. Some heroines routs open up only after clearing other heroines routes. Volume is around 2 hours.
12. Deep Purple ディープパープル [990409] Studio Neko Punch
In a small village on the North Pole witches live. They are forever young and beautiful magic wielders. But first of all they are girls. They feel the need for love, friendship, thrill, suspense, violence, laugh just like everyone else. One of witches starts an investigation to learn the truth about her best friend's death during magical experiment.
This is a debut work of Studio Nekopunch. First of all, this is a Yuri work. Volume is small, around 2 hours. There are only several choices. Prologue is serious, but it's a comedy work for the rest of the game. Operation is mouse only, no skip function.
13. Ryakudatsu Kinbaku no Yakata Kanketsu Hen 略奪 緊縛の館 完結編 [990409] Xyz
The owner of a mansion invites his cousin as a guest. But that cousin deprives the mansion owner full authority over the building. Cousin proposes a game of girls training during two months. It's for the girls to decide who stays as the owner of the mansion after two months.
Yet another training SIM. Player can choose either the role of mansion owner of the vengeful cousin. Six days for training and one holiday for conversation. Nothing special.
14. Shuumatsu no Sugoshikata ~The World is Drawing to an W/end.~ 終末の過ごし方 ～The world is drawing to an W/end.～ [990409] Abogado Powers 1
In a week the human race will perish. In this situation the hero keeps going to school while everyone gives up. What is there ahead?
Abogado Powers are back from PC-98 stumber and I'm excited about it! The game has awesome styled graphics, sound and text. But it lacks greatly in the story department and is short, just 2 hours long. Everyone accepted the defeat and there is decadent atmosphere everywhere. Story is told from the 3rd person view instead of that of the hero. Too little volume, too underdeveloped characters, too few days to matter. One of the most mysterious features of the game is that everyone wears glasses save for one character who wears contacts.
15. Surface Zone サーフェイスゾーン [990409] Motion
Hero and heroine get to a different dimension - "surface zone". They need to explore the surroundings and find the way out of here.
A bad 3D polygon game. Operation is possible with mouse only and it's a torture to bypass all the obstacles. It's possible to choose among three protagonists from the start, each of them having different characters and sexual preferences. By advancing the game H events are triggered with 2D normal CG. There are also animated sequences.
16. Boy x Boy ~Shiritsu Kouryou Gakuin Seishinryou~ サーフェイスゾーン [990409] King Records
The player becomes the main character, Akira Hayasaka, in the second grade of Koryo Gakuin Senior High School.
Boys Love
17. Crank Up ga Matenakute クランクアップが待てなくて [990414] Seal Staff
Fujimi is a third grade school student who attends school cinema club and dreams of shooting a film. Finally he gets such opportunity. Now he needs to appoint the roles and find the main heroine for the film out of many worthy beautiful girl candidates.
Setting is late 80s so it's a nice retro feeling. There are very few choices. There are three heroines. The volume is quite small, around 2 hours.
18. Love Forever LOVE FOREVER [990415] Bunny Pro. 1
The year is 1999, and in Tokyo, there is a scientist. To fulfill his ambitions, he performs magical rituals in his lab basement.
Meanwhile, you play the role of Masato, a regular high school student but very good at martial arts and kendo. After winning the national kendo tournament and defeating your best friend Ukyo (who is the son of this scientist as well as your finals opponent), you go to a cute girl called Sayaka, who you fell in love with, and state your confession. Surprisingly, Sayaka also have feelings for you so the 2 of you come along together very well. This all happens on June 1st, 1999. It all goes well and peaceful for 2 weeks until the absurd comes when serious of weird things and suspicious people start to evolve around you both. To make things short, the two of you run away to your room to "escape" all of these happenings, but unexpectedly a familiar shadow pops up in the darkness....this is just the prologue of a tragedy and a nightmare.
There is an English review. The length was astonishing for the time. Very modern work in that sense - it also has voicing and different routes for each heroine. Fighting minigame is reasonably easy.
19. Nurse Story ナース物語 (ストーリー) [990415] MYCOM 1
The protagonist of the story is hospitalized and needs to stay for three months in a hospital. What to do during all that time, worry about getting better? Nope, walk all over the hospital and try to woo the nurses and hospital staff. First part of the game centers on your trying to win the heart of the woman of your choice in a typical love simulation style. Second part then turns into a romantic visual novel story.
Game period is 3 months. You spend hearts to move around the hospital up to four times a day and replenish them as you visit the doctor. Talking to characters increases or decreases their mood depending on answers. If you don't meet anyone, that's a day wasted, so harsh use of save and load is needed. The second parameter is money... well, it's self-descriptory. Each month he gets 10,000 yen and can also participate in lotteries. It's random, but save/load can make you a millionaire or close to that. There are eight heroines and they include everyone who has a skirt - nurses, doctors, patients... Despite tedious gameplay, characters and dramatic parts are alright.
20. Space Ofera Agga Ruter ~Kyoufu no Uchuu Majo~ Space Ofera アッガ・ルター ～恐怖の宇宙魔女～ [990415] Menu
Continuation of the anime story.
Tayo is 15 years old and he's the owner of the ship that along with the six female crew is flying to explore ancient ruins. Fifteen years ago Tayo's family got attacked by pirate ship and he was the only one to survive in escape pod. The pod drifted to the Agga Ruter spaceship and Tayo was raised by its central system K3.
But at the same time at the other side of the universe the ruler of female alien civilization got tired playing with her subordinates and she set off into space as soon as her radar spotted a man she can play with - and that turned out to be Tayo.
Setting is nice since it's based on the anime. Characters are quite funny as well. Genre can be best described as gag comedy. But game's not long enough and card battle sequences are a pain to go through. Another good feature is that everyone including protagonist is voiced and by the same seiyu as in anime version. So quite a good work, but largely overlooked one since that anime is not well known.
21. Genei Sentai Misty Knights 幻影戦隊 MISTY-KNIGHTS [990416] Fuuro
Hero is the general of an army who has finally succeeded in capturing all four misty knights girls. Now it's the time to get every single secret from them, with force if needed.
Disgusting torture game. There are four girl prisoners and there's nothing to do each day except for wandering around the station and visiting poor prisoners.
22. Nanami Wonderland NA・NA・MIワンダーランド [990416] Archive
A collection of 15 short erotic sketches about Nanami eventful life or fantasies.
There's no story and there's very little text, just HCG gallery with some voicing and some text lines coming along. H only.
23. Seven セブン [990416] Types
As resurrection of an evil god draws near, a goddess sends a team of seven young people - two men and five women - to fight the apostles and prevent evil god's resurrection.
Card battles are so exhausting in this game that it drives out any motivation to go on.
24. Bibou Vintage Real ~Kaikan 3~ 美貌ヴィンテージ・REAL ～kaikan3～ [990420] Hyperspace
A remastered version of Bibou Vintage Kaikan 2
The differences include:
- opening
- multiple endings
- new side-story
- animated scenes
It's the same game, so I won't waste my breath - it will be probably soon get merged with the previous title on vndb anyway.
25. 30 Days [990422] Kurage Club
Hero is an ordinary high school student who used to be a national level kendo sportsman till his father abandoned him in junior school. He has hated his father ever since. He was adopted by another family but he does not feel at home there. One day a news of his father's death arrives and it's going to change everything in his life...
Multi-end ADV with four endings, one for each girl. They are mother-in-law, two sisters-in-law and a classmate. Game is linear with the only significant choice determining girl of interest. There is much animation used and Kurage Club takes roots from the same Umitsuki Production company that the famous full-animated works brand Jellyfish. A series of incidents breaks out with his hero father's death, but romance is developing at the same time and those two lines look alien to each other. But generally speaking it's the story of pessimistic boy who gets over his hatred towards father with the warmth of family members or a classmate. And that grows into knowing the will of his father and accomplishing it. That kind of story.
26. Ryouko no Oshaberi Room 涼子のおしゃべりルーム [990422] Datam Polystar
Fandisc to the Inoue Ryouko series. Includes four modes:
Chat mode: Talk about different subjects with Ryouko. Her responses change depending on the time.
Memory album: View CGs and illustrations from the various games.
Quiz mode: Ryouko quizzes you about things.
What day is it today?: Ryouko tells you what holiday it is today.
I can't stand fandisks.
27. Girl Friends Girl Friends [990423] Libido
Eight girls went on a beach trip. Our guy, as one girl's classmate, tag along to take some pictures. To get their topless picture, he has to do something interesting. To get their nude picture, they have to love him a bit at least. Will he be able to find a girlfriend after their 3 day trip?
Yet another tasteless Libido game. I guess we should praise they finally go away from yuri or smth? Who cares, trash remains trash.
28. Ingoku no Gakuen Biseito Choukyou 淫獄の学園 美聖徒調教 [990423] Guilty
A prestigious girls high school where strict teachers maintain high disciplinary standards. But it's hard to imagine what dark secrets dwell under the surface...
Very simple story with choices, almost all the time is devoted to H.
29. Lipstick Adv.EX [990423] Fairytale 1 2
The story starts as a usual day of Detective Ichijou Megumi and his assistant, Hidaka Koume. Like many detective games, this detective has not gotten any case for a long time. As a result, he just wonders aimlessly around the town flirting with a female in public library and helps Koume's Detective Club out to find the culprit of stealing her classmate's clothes. While these two events seemed irrelevant, it is a slow pavement behind a big evil (?!) scheme hidden in the city.
In this game, you will be switching between perspectives of the detective and his assistant.
Game has an English review. It's your only chance to pick up a part of Lipstick ADV legacy on Windows.
30. Natsu no Owari ni... 夏の終わりに… [990423] Dark Knight
Hero is taking tutorship in order to enter a special prestigious school. His childhood friend was supposed to tutor him during summer, but hero's mother forced the decision to hire several women tutors on various science subjects. How far will he progress by the end of the studies with studies and relations?
Each day of the week save for days off there is its own tutor with his science attending. Hero is middle school student and thus does not invoke much sympathy. Heroines character design is not good and those huge melons might even rival those from minori. This is a SIM game with parameters so the tempo is not good either.
31. Nature Trip ねいちゃあトリップ [990423] Xuse
Hero was staying under the tree hesitating whether to approach the girl he liked for a long time or not when the tree was struck by the lightning. As his vision cleared he saw a cave with an altar and a beautiful woman looking at him anxiously. And she looked almost like the girl of his interest! Where is he? Is this a fantasy world? What will happen to him?
The different world is populated only by women and that fact kills the whole synopsis intrigue - just another convenient environment. There is a happy ending for each heroine around, but only three of them have routes and side-characters have a H-event and game over. It's a light solid work, but far from masterpiece.
32. Oni Coach!! ~Shouri e no Ryoujoku~ 鬼コーチ!! ～勝利への凌辱～ [990423] Apple Pie
Onimaya Gomon has gathered 10 girls for his sport team. He demands absolute obedience on his training sessions. He is absolutely sure that virginity is a hindrance during the training and must be cast away as soon as possible.
Purely H game, there's hardly even any talk in-between.
33. Oniichan to Issho おにいちゃんといっしょ [990423] Fish Cafe
Toyoda Shinji lives with his father, a teacher at school. Shinji was enjoying his school life till one of his classmates became his sister-in-law. She started to live under the same roof and from that day peaceful life went awry...
There are four heroines and there is a rival heroine in each branch so can switch to rival heroine. It's definitely not an onii-chan game, but rather school romance one - it's just very weird that classmates call the hero onii-chan. Girl routes are pretty much the same, so there's little point in aiming to clear all.
34. Senbatsu Keibitai 選抜警備隊 [990423] Outlaw
You are a guard and your current duty is to guard a lone princess with other guards disguised as princess friends and relatives in accordance with the last order of the king.
It's an RPG mix game. Game progresses by minutes and sleep takes only three hours. The leftover time is spent moving around, getting information and protecting the princess, of course. You need to protect her for 30 days and constantly defend against attackers at night and in the forest. Story is not very good and its developments only make feel uncomfortable. Battles are no fun at all. Damage is random. Overall it's a painful game without even any clear aim.
35. Tokyo Kowloon 東京九龍 [990423] Janis
Near future. After a huge catastrophe befallen upon Tokyo, a large part of it has turned into slums. At such area hero is doing slave business raising girls and selling them to rich people outside the city. Usually there is a specific request, but the means of training are up to hero to decide.
Yet another training SIM. There are 5 girls, 30 days, 6 parameters and freedom to choose the means of training. Number of events is very small, so gameplay is boring. Let's go on already.
36. Viper-F50 ~Mirai Tokusou Bureiban~ VIPER-F50 ～未来特捜ブレイバン～ [990423] Sogna 1
The sequel to the "Future Investigator Bravan" story told in VIPER-V12, VIPER-F50 continues the tale of Bravan and his partner Anri as they fight against the forces of Donarghe and its army of mutants. Colonel Gel returns with a plot to defeat Bravan by capturing Anri and fellow investigator Shine. However, Gel's plot for world domination unknowingly hinges on the faith and abilities of her young protégé, Mari.
There is an English review, but I'll try to make mine as well when the time allows to.
37. Yume Tenshi ~Takujou Dennou Inmu Yuugi~ 夢・天・使 ～卓上電脳淫夢遊戯～ [990423] Triangle
Two girls greet you in an entertainment place. They explain the place to you and ask you to pick one of 12 girls to play a virtual situation. To finish each situation, you need to win four majong games or rich-man card games with the girl. If you manage to get all 12 girls, those two will challenge you.
I can't say anything good about an ordinary stripping card game, so I'd better say nothing.
38. Nekopara ~Nekosogi Paradise~ ねこぱら ～ねこそぎ・ぱらダイス～ [990424] Mink
Boys school suddenly gets merged with girls school. Hero is secretly in love with one girl from there and he has only one year till graduation to confess his feelings.
This is a board game with the use of dice etc. You trigger events and accumulate service points through replays opening more heroines and more CG. There are five heroines each with its own rival.
39. Sweet Love Concerto スイートラブコンチェルト [990424] Ange
Gentle-minded angel apprentice Michael (black hair, black skin) and strong-willed devil apprentice Rose (blonde hair, white skin) are in love relationship. Together they need to come through a number of life situations. In the first episode a human male appears who can pose a threat to this love link.
Ugh, I don't even know where to start. No voicing. Ugly drawing. Poor story. Lots of H. There are bad endings as well.
40. Keibiin 警備員 [990428] Interheart
Kousuke Ninomiya is a security guard at a all-around department store, who blackmails female shoppers who shoplift for sexual favors in return of not turning them in to the police.
Game is quite known, but I guess it's thanks to hentai anime. Just think of this game as Interheart's alternative to Elf's *saku series.
41. Little Witch Parfait リトルウィッチ パルフェ [990428] Kuroneko-san Team
Parfait Sucreal is a young witch, who is yet in training and full of clumsiness in raising a potion shop called Black Cat Market run by her mother and Parfait's black cat, Sakemas, who can amazingly talk. A year ago from the time this game was set, her mother had died from an illness - her father was a famous wizard who died from saving the kingdom when Parfait was young.
At the beginning, Parfait introduces herself and tells the player that she is almost at the risk of losing her beloved shop (the only remains of her mother), for Parfait has to pay the debt of 1,000,000G (gold) by 12 months to keep the shop running. As a normal shop, there seems no hope for raising the Black Cat Market's fame.
Game has an English review.
42. My Friends [990428] Euphony Production
Toru just graduated from school and entered university when he received a letter from old friend Sanae that invited him to visit her boarding house. The same invitations were passed to many hero's girl acquaintances as well. It was the beginning of summer drama.
First half is ADV at university and second one is SIM at the boarding house that looks very similar to previous game Happening Journey. Two heroines are just taken from Graffiti of Petit - shameless as that. Hero is deliberately put into a harem situation and he does not need to put much effort at all. It's different from other games in that all the heroines are students and thus are grown-ups. Game has pleasant graphics and calming atmosphere. Play time is around 5 hours.
43. Kokoro no Kakera 心のかけら [990430] Foster
Our guy's father is leaving on a trip for two weeks and he has to take care of the house maids. That means he can chase after the 5 maids and 1 girlfriend. If he manages to catch a girl, his father won't be too happy but he will be extremely happy.
There are 5 maids for capture. One playthrough is between 1 and 2 hours. The work is for HCG only.
44. Marionette -Kugutsu- マリオネット-傀儡- [990430] Saga Planets
Hero exists as a ghost without a body. He succeeds in hijacking his alive older brother's body and gets access to all of the girls' dorm rooms since his brother was an administrator there. It's only needed to find weaknesses and it's easy to force oneself on each girl.
Girls temporarily loose memory after drinking hero's body fluids, so it's a very convenient setting to just go on with all of the girls. It's one road story just for H.
45. Mosquito ~Mosquito no Inbou~ MOSQUITO ～モスキートの陰謀～ [990430] Mesa
Hero works as a bartender, but recently a special mosquito has appeared in his life. He can control that mosquito and see from his eyes. Now he uses that ability to spy on the bar clients from very bold angles.
So many nukige this month that I decided to stop giving comments on nukige starting with year 2000. But for now... boo for peeping mosquito!
46. Trouble Travel [990430] Telluru
Five classmates - two boys and three girls go on a trip to a resort town. You play as one of boys and can go on multiple of dates with the girls you like.
Game's fully voiced (except for protagonist) and quite lively. It's not hookable and launches only on Win2K and lower. There are some gags. But overall it's just dates and H, nothing special. Found only one impression on the game and it's of below medium scores.
The only masterpiece of February 2000 is Phantom of Inferno and thus it's the VN of the Month. I already made full video walkthrough of the game, but it got wiped with the channel, and I'm not doing it again.
1. Uzumaki ~Denshi Kaiki Hen~ うずまき ～電視怪奇篇～ [000203] Dall
A visual novel adaptation of Junji Ito's 1998 horror manga, Uzumaki, for the Bandai Wonderswan.
So platform is WonderSwan...ok...
2. Metamorphose ~Fifth Entrance of For Season~ メタモルフォーゼ～Fifth Entrance of For Season～ [000204] Giga
Main character is a thief who infiltrates a mansion. There he meets shrine maidens Yukino and Yuu sisters. The sisters are attacked by a demonic woman. Hero manages to protect the sisters with the help of a previously stolen item. However, such magic powers have a hidden secret...
Game involves concept of time, so just triggering events at different time may have a different effect. It's needed to avoid danger zones that cause alarms ring. There is also the need to use small animals to enter tight places. Giga has very uneven production results (especially when games made without Team Baldrhead). The scenario here has a distinctive kusoge feeling, and weird gameplay averts even more.
3. Rainy Blue ~6 Gatsu no Ame~ Rainy Blue ～6月の雨～ [000210] R.A.N Software 1
The protagonist and his childhood friend, Ao, both aspired to become artists, but her life was tragically cut short by a car accident. While the protagonist was despairing from the loss of his friend, a small doll that Ao had once given him came to life. The doll, named Aoi, encourages him not to give up on his life and his dreams of art.
The protagonist and his childhood friend, Ao, both aspired to become artists, but her life was tragically cut short by a car accident. While the protagonist was despairing from the loss of his friend, a small doll that Ao had once given him came to life. The doll, named Aoi, encourages him not to give up on his life and his dreams of art.
First of all, it's a nakige. Secondly, it's from a very good company that brought us Hajimari no Kisetsu and Silver Moon. It's the last game of this company and the one of the biggest by impact. What I like most about this game is that it is not really about girls. Girls are merely catalysts for recovery and that's why girl parts and H-events aren't really important. There is a unique message in all of the three routes and there's also a true route. But I see a tendency of overdramatization. I can't really sympathize to a hero who was on the brink of attempting a suicide. Also although the text is good, the middle of the game is serious and uneventful which makes it boring for consequent playthroughs. If you have a thing for nakige, it might easily be a masterpiece. But I don't, so it was a good try, but no.
4. Web no Naka no Kanojo ~Password ni Himerareta Nazo~ Webの中の彼女 ～パスワードに秘められた謎～ [000210] Serene
Main character is a university student. He uses internet just for nanpa, but once got interested in the ruined village sinking into the dam by accident. Strange things start to happen around the hero - first he starts to receive intimidation letters, then his informant suddenly dies...
As of now it's only known that it's a suspense adventure. Will update if get the game.
5. 2nd LOVE 2nd LOVE [000212] Force 1
Aizawa Kiyoshi has recently lost his childhood friend Kazuki Hikaru to a traffic accident. Not still quite feeling the reality of the situation, a certain day he awakes to see Hikaru in his room.
Only she didn't have the size of a normal person, but was only about 25 cm tall. "Well, I can't return to school like this, so I'll be in your care for a while!" So their strange cohabitation starts...
There is a really good English review.
6. Cave Castle Cavalier [000218] Dall
Kingdom Iritutus is located underground. Main character gets a mission to clear eight levels of the dungeon, prevent devil resurrection and regain peace for the kingdom. It's an RPG with map exploration. There are 5 endings overall including bad ones. Graphics by 奈留-san is probably the biggest appeal point. The difficulty of dungeon battles is tremendous and each floor takes over an hour, but there is autobattle for easy encounters. There are a lot of H events scattered on the way, but the overall number of CG is small, just 52. There is no voicing.
7. Meitantei Conan: Karakuri Jiin Satsujin Jiken 名探偵コナン からくり寺院殺人事件 [000225] Banpresto
Ran and Conan plan to meet Heiji at a cafe, however the train has had problems and he is late. While they are sitting there, a worker named Miki Tosawa accidentally dumps juice onto Conan. Miki then invites them over to her house and tells them that she actually was planning on going to the famous detective Kogoro Mouri for help, because her sister Satomi has disappeared without telling her where she was going. Conan puts together some clues that lead them to the book store where Haibara helps them locate a guidebook to a really old temple where they think the sister has gone. Then, later, joined by Kogoro and Heiji, Conan, Ran, and Miki set off for the temple in search of the missing Satomi.
Only for series fans
8. Aoiya Masshigura 葵屋まっしぐら [000225] SofthouseChara
After graduating from high school, hero succeeded hot springs inn "Aoiya" that was previously managed by his parents. However, business conditions have deteriorated with the rise of rivals. As a result all of the employees with an exception of childhood friend Yonagawa Kasu have left. He managed to rebuild the inn with financial help of his acquaintance. Will he bounce back and blow new life in Aoiya?
It's an ADV with SIM elements. It's still more of an ADV since state of ryoukan depends on text choices rather than management. Difficulty level is low. Atmosphere is calm and relaxing. There's a comedy touch. There are only three heroines and overall volume is not big. Game is not voiced.
9. D+Vine [Luv] [000225] Abogado Powers 1 2
You play as an adventurer named Hyde. He's been dungeon explorer for a short while now. The desire to do so is because within many of these places lay remnants of the "Old World". Upon coming across a town named Arvil, he is told of a nearby cave that no one has yet looted for the monsters that guard it. This doesn't stop Hyde, and he soon stumbles upon something he wasn't expecting within the ancient cave--a woman!? This mystery-girl is going to really complicate things...
There are English reviews for this game.
10. Echo [000225] FAIRYTALE HARDCOVER
During the earthquake a young man fell under the ground and lost memory as a result. He injured his arms, but was found and taken care of by a girl. The girl only knew that earthquake happened. Together they try to survive and get back to the ground.
The last work of Fairy Tale HARDCOVER, experimental division for horror stories. This work lives up to its fame. You need to play the game 14 (!) times to complete it... Each time we meet some girl and by the end of the route hero gets to remember or understand something and new branch opens up. Clearing the game once takes 16 hours... so it's a game of exhaustion. Text speed is slow and non-changeble and skipping is poorly implemented. However, meaningful part is not that big, half of the work can be scrapped without any harm done. H scenes should not be skipped since the psychological enlightenment happens usually at that time and you would not understand the result. Game also featured 3D sound and some moments are transferred to the player only through it. There is only one save slot and saving only allowed at special times which sometimes happen with gaps of couple hours long. And it used to freez pc after several hours of running. So completing this game is one of big challenges and those very few people who managed to get to the final consider it as one of huge achievements.
11. Follow Me Koisuru Kimochi Follow Me 恋する気持ち [000225] Palette
When first love comes, it's hard to convey own feelings to the partner. Main character receives an anonymous love letter. There are five girls who could be the sender, so hero begins his investigation.
This is the very first work of Palette that we know so well and love a lot. But even though it's the first work of Palette, there are exactly zero Japanese reviews. Why? The game is really simple. Very simple synopsis, quite simple graphics, no voicing. There's not a single selling point and emphasis is made on sentimental feelings. It's a nice first shot, but there's just not much to talk about.
12. Holmes! Decchiage Meitantei Holmes！ でっちあげ名探偵 [000225] Janis
Yuki Kano is a student who calls herself a descendant of Sherlock Holmes. She tries to solve mysteries that happen at school together with her partner Yuki Matsumoto who she calls Watson.
Her method is to use deduction to prove guild of a girl and then force that girl to making love. There are 4 cases in total in the main part.
Basically the chapter usually starts with incident occurrence, followed by information collection, suspect accusation and either H event on success or failure if the wrong person is chosen. It looks pretty sick to parody great detective franchises of the time like Kindaichi or detective Conan and present it in such a light-minded form.
13. Moe ~Moegiiro no Machi~ Moe ～萌黄色の町～ [000225] Unison Shift
Winter. Hero lives peacefully in his own pace. But with so many girls around him gradually a new feeling is born.
I just can't believe my eyes. The same Union Shift that we know for bitterest utsuge series started with something like this. There are eight heroines and there are two endings for each one. One playthrough is one hour. Lack of volume and thus lack of depth is the biggest flaw.
14. Moonlight ~Omoide no Hajimari~ MoonLight ～おもいでのはじまり～ [000225] Clear
School that hero attended is going to be closed down. There are only two months left to say proper goodbyes to the classmates. Every hour of this time with the most important people should be cherished.
Debut work of Clear, but a high quality one. There are five heroines. The first half is for flagging and the second for dates and endings (there are bad endings in case of poor choices). Difficulty level is quite high. The atmosphere is quite special and a bit dark thanks to the feeling of loss. Text is good and easy to read. All the characters are quite attractive. Imitation of Kanon is felt in the picture, structure and text (game even takes place in winter as well). Also protagonist only transferred to this school the previous semester and it's really difficult to believe that he already has bad feelings about abandoning school. Characters are properly linked around the different routes. So it's a very solid start, but in the end game's a charage and Kanon imitation, although a good one, and thus not a masterpiece.
15. Phantom of Inferno [000225] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Phantom of Inferno is a story detailing the life of a 15-year-old Japanese boy who is kidnapped after witnessing the killing of a reporter. After being kidnapped his memories of his past life are erased and is given the choice to join Inferno or die. He makes the only choice he can to join and is given the name Zwei and will study under Ein. She is also known as Phantom since this is the title given to the organization's top assassin.
I don't think this work needs introduction. The first game of Nitroplus became a blockbuster and even was imported to the west market in English. It's the best game of early Nitroplus games. I still believe that it lacks depth, but there's so much coolness in this work that it'd be enough for a dozen of action games. But as I read reviews on this game the scores weren't too high and DVD format and its system was to blame. Some had trouble with disappearing subtitles, some with subtitles fonts and some with the password system which sometimes goes without another password for two-three hours straight. So I thought that people should stop reviewing game system and start reviewing its content, so I've made my own video playthrough of the game with both English and Japanese subtitles, all five good endings and a clear structure. I'll try to use this work for study purposes thanks to double subtitles. So here is the link to my video playthrough.
16. Road Love Story ロードラブストーリー [000225] Corett
Ryo Uehara was on summer vacations when the elementary school girl living next door rang the doorbell. She explained with tears that before the summer vacations she had a quarrel with boy Yura Yuta and then he changed schools so they could not properly make it up. Hero takes boy's photo and jumps into a bus to begin his search.
It's a travel adventure. There's a lot of map movement. Somehow, all those movements are exhausting and asking the same questions about the boy all the time does not make it more interesting. The whole synopsis looks unreal and the original aim of finding a boy very soon gets behind. It's not necessarily a bad game, but it's difficult to find appeal points in it.
17. Senjutsu Youhei Shidan Brave Blade 戦術傭兵師団ブレイブブレイド [000225] To Be
400 hundred years ago the continent was ruled by demon kings, but eventually he was slayed with the help of holy sword Brave Blade. Now hero who is mercenary captain acquires this blade. A girl requests help from a tyrant. Hero sets to investigate and on the way he discovers and frees girls who are possessed by evil dresses "R-Enhance". No remorse for the tyrant!
Tactical turn-based strategy with rules reminding some difficult board game. There are 16 chapters with adventure, simulation and free action parts in each. There are permanent companions and mercenaries who appear just for one battle and have to be paid anew. Early part is bland and later on fights take just enormous amount of time. Rules are difficult to grasp and aren't explained so there's a long learning by mistakes. Story is ok, but this breaking armor of girl generals does not let it flow seriously.
18. Tsukiyo no Hitomi wa Kurenai ni 月夜の瞳は紅に [000225] Discovery
Masato is a sophomore student in Kaori high school. He confesses to the girl of his interest, but gets rejected. In grief he occasionally breaks the seal of a shrine and releases vampire Kiko. She is hungry for human blood, but Masato sees a cute little girl in her and eagerly gives away blood. Later he notices he can use special abilities. He wanders around the town in search for assistance and new love...
During the game Kiko becomes transparent and comes behind the hero. The main character will master the three abilities of Kiko: "Fascination" (creating a good impression on a girl), "people perception" (you see girls icons on a map) and "Future sense" (can hear Kiko's opinion on what's going to happen with each of the choices). Text is very rough and not fun to read. Other than Kiko routes look bland. There is a comedy touch to the story, but it's not remotely enough. First playtime is around 5 hours.
19. Tsukushite Agechau 尽くしてあげちゃう [000225] Trabulance
Main character is hooligan who spends school days fighting and now is hospitalized due to a minor incident. A cute girl visits him there. Other girls get jealous and a fierce girl battle for the hero begins.
Easygoing and short love comedy. There are 5+1 heroines and playtime is around 3 hours. Game series involves somewhat aggressive girls behavior. Story is quite simple, nothing really stands out, but there's a constant feeling that something is lacking.

Doujin. Game is free and flash-based. But it was eventually released with heroines voice and graphics aren't bad at all (backgrounds are photo based though). They go on adventure and meed five different girls. There are seven endings overall. Length is actually substantial, over 10 hours. There aren't good reviews of it
Chibi Maruko-chan is the first anime that gets a flawless masterpiece score from me.

Catching only a glimpse of his tall shadow as he leaves, Judy calls him "Daddy Long Legs" and writes him letters every month as per his request. While studying at the Lincoln Memorial school, she makes many friends and learns about a world she never knew about before.

However, when Lord Wanko discovers that the shogun's chief advisor, Lord Korn, is plotting to take over the government, he knows that something must be done to preserve the peace.

But Korn's schemes are not the only thing the team has to worry about. Secretly based out of the popular Pizza Cats restaurant, the Nyankees must keep their operations hidden while delivering piping-hot plates of pizza and justice.

Momoko Sakura is an elementary school student who likes popular idol Momoe Yamaguchi and mangas. She is often called "Chibi Maruko-chan" due to her young age and small size. She lives together with her parents, her grandparents and her elder sister in a little town. In school, she has many friends with whom she studies and plays together everyday, including her close pal, Tama-chan; the student committee members, Maruo-kun and Migiwa-san; and the B-class trio: 'little master' Hanawa-kun, Hamaji-Bu Taro and Sekiguchi-kun. This is a fun-loving and enjoyable anime that portrays the simple things in life.
This is the only anime that I check translation status every few years. Can't give genius masterpiece score because because concept itself is far from breakthrough. But I can give flawless masterpiece , because all elements fit perfectly here and nothing similar to this experience can repeat anymore - the best SOL anime about elementary school possible.

4. Dragon Quest: Yuusha Abel Densetsu ドラゴンクエスト～勇者アベル伝説～ [Pierrot, Studio Comet] (Finished 43/43)
Tags: Shounen Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Dragon Quest is loosely based on Dragon Quest III. The names and some of the characters are familar, but the world map is smaller and a very different shape. The two main characters are Abel and Tialah. Tialah receives the legendary Red Stone from the Aliahan Village sage Master Yogi. Soon after, Tialah is kidnapped by the evil Baramos who wants to use the Red Stone to resurrect The Great Dragon and be granted eternal life. Abel swore to rescue Tialah and he is given the Blue Stone, which can only seal the Dragon once it has been released.
Several years ago I really wanted to see the plot of Dragon Quest without playing the games, and series fit nice for it. It was partly amusing, but rather childish and with a lot of repetitions that would make sense for a game and not so much for a story driven anime, like find 6 pillars of different elements. Felt pretty average to me, would be better with more concentration and smaller length.

When aliens plan to invade earth, the young Kouta along with a giant robot from outspace named Exkaiser must team up to save the world and his friends.
Sunrise was a boon for mecha as it guaranteed a certain level of quality, but at the same time it's like their 30th long mecha series or so - and it's hardly possible to make a breakthrough while having such busy production schedules. What we have is yet another simple children oriented mecha with enough personality and humor, but I can't see it anywhere higher than average.

Demons exist and their power is beyond what humans can fathom. In fact they are so strong that humans do not stand a chance against them in a fight.
The only thing strong enough to defeat a demon is another demon and it is trough this logic that Ryo Asuka hatches the plan to have his good-hearted friend Akira Fudo possessed by a demon. If a person is of pure of heart then he might be able to control the demon that posses him and thereby acquire power equal to a demon. After raising some hell in a club the plan works and Akira is possessed by the powerful demon known as Amon.
Now Akira is humanities sole champion of justice against the hidden demon menace that has plagued humanity since the dawn of time.
First movie was retelling of the birth of devilman, this is the first plot development after franchise reboot. It's the last time I'm bringing up Devilman movies as my score can't change and contents remain more or less the same.

Yuusuke Yamamoto has a crippling phobia of women, and understandably so—the twin girls living next door tried to cut off his penis as a child. Unfortunately, Yuusuke's father is a gynecologist and needs him to overcome his fear so he can inherit the family business. To accomplish this, Yuusuke's father offers sanctuary to sisters Rika and Yuka Nakamura in their home while the girls are studying at the nearby college.
In a terrible twist of fate, when Yuusuke realizes that their guest room is too small for two people, he is forced to choose which of the sisters is allowed to stay. Desperate to win his favor, the brazen Yuka and the more reserved Rika are willing to do whatever it takes to impress and eventually sway Yuusuke—even if it means making things physical and personal.
Looks like it's the originator and trendsetter for all the ecchi harem comedy. There's literally nothing else here except fooling around.

9. Be-Bop Highschool ビー・バップ・ハイスクール [Toei Animation] (Finished 7/7)
Tags: Seinen Delinquents, School Comedy
For the invincible and basically happy punk lads Hiroshi and Toru, what they care about every day is to get a lot of attention from girls and to win the fights against the lads from other schools. Whenever provoked, they just go out fighting and settle the situation no matter what it costs.
A well-done delinquents anime with enough episodical comedy. At the same time there's not much interesting in the genre for me unless it goes full-scale comedy route like Cromartie High School or adds complexity like GTO. It loses even in comparison with Shounan Bakusouzoku that had a lot more variety with different kinds of episodes, while Be-Bop Highschool always has violence in the center and something else that might come up is always episodic. I'm not enjoying it at all.

"Do not toy with the supernatural."
Two stories of the consequences that descend upon humans who venture beyond the safe confines of their ordinary worlds.
When a gorgeous girl named Rima transfers into Masami's class, she's not only jealous, but also deathly frightened of her. While the boys in class are tripping all over themselves to get to Rima, Masami's having nightmares of a ghastly visitor and finding scars on her body come morning. She asks a friend to help her get evidence to confirm her suspicions about the new girl. But if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be worth far more. The truth can set you free, but it can also be more terrifying than anything you can imagine.
Shy Miko and her more outgoing friend Nanako are enjoying their summer vacation, trying to make the most of their youth. But when horror-movie marathons just aren't thrilling enough, Nanako sets her eyes on a new target: an abandoned mansion at the edge of town, said to be haunted. With two other friends in tow, a reluctant Miko and a gung-ho Nanako enter the mansion. Soon, everything that can go wrong starts going wrong. Only luck or a miracle will allow them manage to escape the mansion with their lives, their sanity, and even their sense of reality.
There's no reason to watch it if you don't like horror, as there's nothing besides it.

It's Chief Gooley's worst nightmare come true. The Lovely Angels are back on the job, but this time the 3WA's Central Computer has assigned them two cases at the same time: investigate a space liner explosion in which three hundred people died, but no one`s come forward to claim any insurance money; and find a missing scientist and his family.
Could the two cases be connected? Only the Central Computer knows and it's not talking. So it's up the Dirty Pair to get down and dirty and solve the puzzle before time runs out for a grieving grandfather, his family and the universe!
Just action/detective with a lot of convenience. Since there's very little humor or funny conversations, 5 is all it can hope for. It does not feel like a plot made for Dirty Pair, more like a plot for *insert any sci-fi franchise with 2+ protagonists*.

After reuniting the child with her parents, Sofia turned to Akito and said:
"Would you teach me how to use magic?! I want to be like you!"
He agreed to teach her, a fellow Laikask Academy student, until they could find a proper teacher. Then, while the two of them were practicing magic in a local park, they ran into a girl named Roo Mao, who was doing a street performance.
"Let's put on a show together!" she said.
In this country, street performances were called "shows."
At Roo's suggestion, the two joined her and all three of them entered the upcoming tournament for performers.
Will they be able to accrue enough members to form their troupe by the day of the tournament?
And will Sofia be able to learn magic?
"Happy Live, Show Up!"
This is a tale of these friends and their quest to shine brighter than the sun.

9. Maximum Magic: Quirk of Destiny [100326] Lime
One day a castle fell from the sky and soon strange things began occurring around the area. The queen chose a young boy to investigate into it. While he is definitely smart and capable of great things, his personality is… well, a little off. He doesn’t follow orders well, doesn’t have common sense and likes playing tricks to scare people.
It's more of a charage, but with battles. The worst part is that all individual routes end abruptly without revealing anything. It's natural to expect a true route, but there is none. With so many questions piled up it's impossible to give real evaluation unless there's a sequel or something.

Many years later, while enjoying the sea, he meets a girl who he thought was a mermaid. She was Kanon, the girl who had left them back then. He calls out to her, but she doesn’t acknowledge knowing him.
All heroines are deredere childhood friends, so there's no real "capture", all are in love from the start. So SOL scenes and flirt take up all the time. Guess it's only for Purple Soft fans.

Rinou Gakuen is a huge school with over 10,000 students. Iwao has been unlucky: being mistaken for a thug when he wanted to help the girls in trouble, getting in fights with the ‘school hero’, his dorm being a dump, etc. One day, he saw some students being attacked and he wanted to help, but... he can’t just help them as is since he’ll be thought as the culprit again. He decided to use ‘that’, and that was the beginning.
Transformation bakage that feels terribly short due to absence of everyday depiction. Typical Chien - funny concept, but unpolished realization.

Subarashiki Hibi is a story told in seven chapters. The story follows a group of several Tokyo high school students mostly through July of 2012 and each chapter is told from the perspective of one of its five main characters. Because of the same timeframe coverage, certain events are overlapping from chapter to chapter but at the core of it all is a mystery revolving around the prophecy about the end of the world on July the 20th as well as the events that are following before the said date. The first part of the VN is used to make a setting for the said mysteries while the second part is about uncovering the truth behind them all.
The story begins in chapter #1, 'Down the Rabbit-Hole I" on July 12, 2012. The protagonist, Minakami Yuki, lives a peaceful everyday life with Tsukasa and Kagami, her childhood friends, when one day she meets a mysterious girl, Takashima Zakuro (a girl in another class in Yuki's school, who seems to have met Yuki before but Yuki doesn't remember her). The strange schoolmate Yuki just befriended moves into her house (Yuki doesn't mind too much about that). Then following this new guest in Minakami's residence, Yuki's two childhood friends mentioned earlier also move in, just so that they don't feel left out. These events are just a prelude for what will ultimately lead Yuki to discover her own "Wonderful Everyday" during this chapter.

We formed a bond and obtained a precious moment.

Foreword: Game's obscure, but it has one absolutely overwhelming Japanese review (giving 8/10 score btw) which claims that the game has references to dozens of media sources. I'm not good with media of 1996 year and earlier, but even I could discern 5 sources. Visual novel is easy to read and it's a great laugh at times while preserving a solid and intriguing plot with lovable characters, tonns of CG and almost full voicing. I say it's a neglected masterpiece.
Title: Bounty Hunter Rudy

Youtube walkthrough:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUUFqi-M6JU&t=0s&list=PLENAECnNmAq_3TQ0rXcu0n95aygm3PPQU&index=46
Synopsis: Rudy is a famous space bounty hunter with top notch skills. But she's famous mostly for her ability to fall into troubles because of uncontrolled destruction power. In order to deal with the debts she goes to casino, but drenches down into even deeper debt. She undertakes a top secret military case as her last resort to get big money fast.
Structure: One route
Length: 4.5 hours
Game type: AVG with dialogue choices
Difficulty: Game does not have branches, but getting 100% CG is not easy.
Character Design rating: 7/10
Protagonist rating: 8/10
Story rating: 8/10
Game quality: 7/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Rating comments: Can't really call it the game for 8/10, but it's decent enough to be called a masterpiece. Main heroine is impressive, characters charming (yet not developed), space opera story grappling and numerous CG and almost full voicing make up in the quality department. It has flaws, but I shall elaborate later.
Protagonist: Rudy is our hermaphrodite strongest in the universe space bounty hunter. She blames in her failures anyone else but her and picks fights in dialogues with everyone. Being of simple and cheerful mind, Rudy enjoys drinking, money, a good company and space adventures.
Characters: The only other significant heroine apart of Rudy is Anna who is an alien taking human girl form and who is waiting patiently for Rudy to drop her home. But Anna appears quite late in the story, after a third of it passed already. She's helpless and exists mostly as a comic relief - she always acts straightforward and answers honestly ruining Rudy's sly schemes. Other characters only make episodic appearance, although all of them are a colorful bunch and fun to have around.
Story: Much of it is in the synopsis. Rudy gets into a huge debt after a passionate mafia boss chase around the city and being outwit at the casino house. She's only offered poor jobs by the bounty hunter guild leader, so she decides to steal the big job from another guild member Reike. That involves investigating anti-planetary missile weapon. And while on the task, Rudy comes upon an alien in cryogenic chamber who takes the form of human girl Anna. The whole game adventures actually only start from here, but as game adapts to the role of bakage events start to lose ultimate aim. That's the best part in the game - you don't wait for the ending, but just enjoy crazy funny dialogues. And my deepest regret is only that I failed to trigger all the foolish CG and all the extra dialogue lines.
CG: Game lasts around 5 hours and does not use sprites for the characters... yes - it's all done in CG only. Hundreds of CG! Sometimes such CG would only last for a few seconds! I was really favorably surprised by the effort.
Sound: Protagonist is a woman and all women in this game are voiced. That actually means that almost everyone is voiced considered that game only has bounty hunter guild boss and robot Freddy as male characters as well as some nameless episodic characters. At times I forgot it was partially voiced since only scenes with girls proceeded. Voicing is done here very well and helps a lot the playful mood of the game.
Humor: It's just everywhere. Mostly in form of verbal insults and crazy dialogue lines. But I really like it when the game breaks the 4th wall and Rudy does it quite often in hilarious ways. Here's one moment where I laughed out loud and could not stop laughing. Rudy faces a military robot and is presented with three choices. I choose third one with ridiculous phrase "Once upon a time there lived a grandfather and grandmother". Next lines showed on the screen: "Grandfather went to a sauna, grandmother went to a host club". Next we see Rudy getting punched and she shouts "Do not pick this choice"! Then I picked the same choice again. What I got was "Then grandfather went to refresh". And next we see Rudy punched and she shouts "Reality is severe"!
Overall comments: I have not enjoyed a bakage that much for a long time. The best thing is that you don't need to care for the plot much or for branches or saves - just enjoy what's happening on the screen at this very moment and that's it. It's a game for relaxation. I feel like some of the spice is lost in machine translation and some cultural layers lost since I am not a Japanese native of the 1990s. Also I appreciated that H events are playful, short and totally forgotten a second after. Well, H events aren't usual as well - they are fun and memorably inventive. It's rare to see a game that puts a player first and everything else second. It's a game that leaves a lasting warm impression and is worthy to be called a masterpiece and a hidden gem.
I remember enjoying Grisaia no Kajitsu a long time ago even though nowadays Frontwing eternal greed for releasing series in episodes and inserting ads in their official channel and everyone else's channels makes me sick. Micchi favors Lover Able and some fandisc.
1. Artemis Blue アルテミスブルー [110224] Applique -Imouto- 1 2 3
In 2040, a mysterious natural disaster causes all planes to stop functioning above 500 feet (150 meters) of the Earth’s surface, resulting in over 20 million deaths. The year is 2060 and it is forbidden to fly above this limit. Pilots call this stretch from 500 feet to outer space ‘Artemis’s hymen’. Now a group of people operate a transport agency from the abandoned building that was to be the New Third Tokyo International Airport (nicknamed Edowanzu). They wish to fly higher than what is permitted by aviation laws.
Haru is a cheerful, honest, polite and hardworking girl who always wanted to become a pilot. Following her dream, she went overseas after graduating from high school and earned her pilot license after two years in an aviation school in San Diego. She applied to become a co-pilot and got an interview with the Kubo Air Transport Agency. There she met Katsura Keima, the test pilot who had broken the impenetrable barrier in Project Ikaros five years ago.

2. Flag Heshiori Otoko フラグへし折り男 [110225] Hamham Soft
Kogorou is the assistant instructor at the Suzuhara-ryuu Kendo dojo in Minoudai. He lives alone at the top of a hill and his osananajimi Mahiru comes to wake him up every day, even though she knows that he will already be out of bed and dressed by the time she gets there. That’s because she is like many other girls who has fallen in love with him because of his honesty and seriousness. He is known as the ‘man who breaks flags’.
A comedy with flat characters and eye-tearing graphics.
3. Grisaia no Kajitsu グリザイアの果実 -LE FRUIT DE LA GRISAIA- [110225] Frontwing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Mihama Academy - on the surface, a closed learning environment established to nurture students who find themselves at odds with the world around them; in actuality, an orchard-cum-prison built to preserve fruit that has fallen too far from its tree.
Whatever the circumstances behind its establishment, Mihama Academy is at present home to five female students, all with their own reasons for "enrollment." For better or worse, each girl has established a routine obliging of her current situation; life moves at an idle, yet accommodating pace within the walls of Mihama.
Yet with the arrival of the institute's first male student, the nearly preposterously opaque Kazami Yuuji, the students at Mihama begin to fall out of step with their predetermined rhythms. Will Yuuji prove to be the element the girls around him needed to take hold of their lives once more, or will the weight of their pasts prove too steep a wall to overcome?
And in the first place, just who is Kazami Yuuji? While the true nature of the "job" he is wont to alight to at the most haphazard of moments remains shrouded in secrecy, one thing is for certain - his encroachment upon the quiet orchard known as Mihama Academy will prove itself momentous in one way or another. And of course, one cannot discount the possibility that perhaps Yuuji himself carries the weightiest past of any of the students...
Game is localized and has English reviews.
4. Hime-sama Gentei! ~Princess Limited~ 姫様限定！～Princess Limited～ [110225] Princess Sugar
Celina is the princess of the prosperous western European country of Mellberg and came to Japan to study at a normal school while concealing her true identity. Since she is a distant relative to Yuu, she ends up living in his house. One day, the princess of the resource-rich country of Marualand, Olivia, was exiled to Japan in a coup d’état. Quickly gaining notice around the town, she was treated like a honored guest. However, Yuu disapproved of her snobby attitude since he had grown accustomed to being around princess Celina. Then, Celina told Olivia not to be near him as he is her most precious person. Not backing down from the challenge, she states that she will make him hers.
Scenario is crappy and boring, so I'd call it a moege. Olivia's collapsed personality is probably the most memorable element.
5. Hinata Terrace ~We don't Abandon You.~ ひなたテラス ～We don't abandon you.～ [110225] Giga
Yoshihisa doesn’t have any relatives, but he doesn’t feel sad or lonely. While there’s nothing wrong with his personality, he finds it difficult to connect with others. Upon acceptance to the school, the school director offered him a cheap room if he helps out around the apartment. He meets the other residents: dojikko classmate Hina, the class rep Natsuki, and his teacher and self-proclaimed guardian Fumika. One day, a girl arrives carrying a letter and introduces herself as his imouto.
If it's Giga with unidentified scenario writer, it's a kusoge by default not worth anyone's time. Typical Giga moege.
6. Lover Able ラブラブル～Lover Able～ [110225] Smee 1 2 3 4
Haruki and his imouto Kaho move to a new town due to their parents’ work and are taken care of by their uncle. Due to a promise made between the adults, they have to help out at their uncle’s beachside cafe Fruitia. During the summer, he meets a girl that transferred in at the same time Chinatsu, quiet and mysterious classmate Satsuki, lively kouhai Tsugumi and fellow part-timer Nanako. Of course, Kaho is always by his side. This is the beginning of a summer romance.
It sounds like a pretty standard love comedy plot, but what makes Lover Able different is the customization. Prefer short hair to long hair? Want her to wear a dress instead of T-shirt and shorts? The system allows you to tailor the heroines to hit all your moe sweet spots, making all those ichaicha moments even better.

When Tatsuki opened her door, he found Kotoko without any vital signs. He blamed himself for causing her death.
On another day much later when the night sky was full of shooting stars just like that fateful day, he visited her room just like before. To his surprise, Kotoko was there. The next morning, his parents thought that Kotoko had never died, and for some reason, his pet cat turned into a catgirl.

2. Koi Katsu! コイ☆カツ！ [110225] Silhouette
Rino is forced to join a club that involves sexual activities. She does not know anything about boys, so she asks Togo for help. He opposes this idea, but agrees after threat to reveal his small secret. The mysterious club awaits.
Nukige, but with an opening.
There is a normal Japanese family - a rock star priest, a fox goddess and their son ghost... ok, maybe not so normal. Anyway, there's a fantastic review ( 1 ) on this game already, so I can have a free style review for a change just to put something along with a video. So following that review... first things first - game has no bugs on win98, all icons are in order - everything is perfect. But since the game can't run install on newer Windows, we indeed have to copy contents to the disk folder, launch reg file (need to edit it to change cd drive letter) and speech volume up tool. The full guide is here ( 2 ). Just in case - the link for the volume up tool is ( 3 ). So the only little inconvenience that we need to tolerate on newer Windows is that icons get messed up. It's not that much of a deal, right?
NO.
As a result the icons for SAVE and GHOST functions get exchanged. It's very easy to get acquainted with saving on ghost icon, we play as a ghost, anyway. But this way SAVE icon gets absolutely forgotten. This icon stays crossed out for 99.99% of time, but this is absolutely the most important icon in the game, because it gets active in 0.01% of time at the most crucial moments in the game. If I knew that from the start, I would not have to tear my hair out while redoing all the routes of all the characters over and over and each time either getting somewhat awkward endings or failing to set the flags for a girl. I followed three different walkthrough VERY diligently and each time had a failure as a result. By the way, the best walkthrough with all the choices and very comfortable table outlook is here ( 4 ).
So here's the deal. One of such most crucial moments is on the screen. In this scene we finally get all the flags for the girl and enter the first love event marked with a heart on the map. In this event Minamo is sleeping... that's pretty much it. But... her skirt gets a bit wrinkled so that pants are seen just a little bit. Trust me, this is the most crucial event of the route. So hero enjoys the peaceful view when two boys approach, share the joyful news with each other and take out a digital camera while looking for the most beneficial angle... There are no options, nothing. Just as any other event that we've seen before so far. So hero cries out of helplessness since he's a ghost and can't really help Minamo. Boys get the photo and run away happily. Minamo continues to sleep happily. A weird event, but it's ok. The problem is that after the event Minamo absolutely disappears. We just pass days aimlessly and fly to the skies on the 49th day. Game over. I could not understand what was going on for a long time trying different approaches prior to the even. But I only understood it while skipping scenes on Win98. There is a ghost icon in place of SAVE there and during skipping the scene it suddenly stops in the middle of the scene, just at the spot the screenshot is. Why would a game stop skipping the text in the middle of text scene? The answer is that there are moments when main character Shiro needs to concentrate his psychic power in order to manipulate objects in physical reality. When we click this icon at this very moment, Shiro fixes the skirt, boys run away and Minamo wakes up noticing Shiro who hurriedly explains the situation in order not to be blamed for it. And later on Minamo admits that she understood that Shiro loved her exactly at the moment when he fixed that skirt expression his care and desire to protect this way. So with this hint all the routes finally become a piece of cake.
Now to the contents. I give the game 8/10, it's that good. It could easily be 9/10, but the sectional voicing and a bit of fault in the system affect the impression. There are four heroines for capture - kendo club osanajimi Akira, shy diligent student who is afraid of ghosts Wakaba, merry single Psychic Sience club member Minamo and a ghost girl who supposedly ended her life by hanging - Yuzu. The game tries to follow To Heart structure, so that we get up, go to school and constantly get on a map of the school in the morning, noon and evening with girl figures at different sections of the school. Clicking on each girl triggers an event. And majority of those events are funny ones. There are also some events that we don't need to choose. What I mean is that such structure allows to pump the game with a great number of cool funny small stories and in that the game excels. For the biggest part of the game it's a comedy, but the very end is not so funny - hero dies. Well, I mean he was dead from the start, but on 49th day (35th day in game time since Shiro only regains consciousness 2 weeks after initial death) the soul link with the body finally disappears and the soul has to fly to the skies. We get to know about the time limit on the 45th day (31st day in game time). So what's the drama? Hero has to fly away. But that was known from the start. Hero is dead before we even start reading. We can guess he'll have to go eventually. But we still feel sad when we're said so on the 45th day and when we actually have to do it on the 49th day. So I don't consider this game to be a nakige in any way. Someone wants a happy end with a girl and a ghost living together and dying in one day? That's weird. Hero must resurrect? Well, it's not some fantasy, and furthermore the body is wrecked and buried over two weeks ago. So it's not a conflict, not a drama, we just see the story to the end and the girls who got attached to Shiro saying him farewell. And all the girls do so with a smile and gratitude. Futhermore, Shiro is promissed to be reincarnated and in some epilogues we actually get a hint of our grown-up girls feeling something very familiar in that young school boy... but it's not that kind of a game. Moreover, there is a ghost girl Yuzu and we get a perfectly happy ending with her. Two ghosts find a way to be eternally happy. But for my video walkthrough I chose Minamo. That girl is too cute and cool to miss. Moreover, we actually get to see three personalities of her. Her usual ghosbuster genki self, a cursed doll gentle personality (don't ask, better see for yourself) and the cat-girl personality that can't leave anyone indifferent. Don't get me wrong, other girls routes are very good and touching as well, but those are tilt towards nakige a bit more. Game's very nice. Give it a chance, and you'll like it.
There's not much to choose from this month. Shoin is the only masterpiece and the winner by default.
1. See in Ao See In 青 －シーンAO－ [000706] Alice Soft 1
Kyoya goes to Andrude Ocean School, which is also a large ocean city. Kyoha saved Kisaragi Miyu who lost conscience her memory three years ago. Since then, she has had a secret yearning to him. Her twin sister, Yumi, is helping Miyu fulfill her love, but her thought is wavering between Kyoya and her sister. They lost their parents and they've lived helping each other. However, one day, Yumi turns out to be a biological android that the parents made.
Alice Soft finally joins the romance novel chase. It's a game with absolutely beautiful graphics and nice futuristic setting. But at the same time it's built on a traditional Alice Soft engine that poorly suits ADV novels. There is both pure love and devil route, and I can't really stand the gap between them. Little is actually explained, so reader has to observe the action from outside. The routes are one way roads and have poorly developed drama in them. It's a work that's difficult to evaluate. There is an English review.
2. Yousei 妖精 [000706] Alice Soft
Early 20th century, Western Europe. Protagonist has had success as a painter, but he feels a sense of emptiness in his life with each day repeating over and over. But one day a small winged fairy fitting his palm falls from the sky. He takes her home and finds a new source of inspiration in her.
It's a bonus game without any reviews. Not voiced, and I'm not interested enough to play it to the end.
3. Ambience [000707] Inspire
Main character lives in a mansion with his maid Lease Frau who allows him to avoid socializing. One day he receives a letter from his cousin Liana who is forced to serve at king's court and who wants to spend the leftover time before separation together with main character...
Inspire games are unique in graphics and atmosphere. Again there is medieval Europe and memorable heroines. There are three heroines and their routes mostly about human drama and lots of H events.
4. Hachigatsu no Nostalgia ~The Summer with You~ 八月のノスタルジア ～the summer with you～ [000707] BeF
Main character comes help manage the pension house at the request of his distant relative. He lived there 10 years ago and now has very vague memories about that time. As he comes closer to the place, the faint memories emerge at the sight of familiar landscape.
Can't stand these nostalgic works. It's first BeF non-eroge work, and it can't boast depth. The volume is smaller than usual. The drawing is original and not too bad.
5. Half Vampire Saki-san ハーフヴァンパイア サキさん [000707] Kurumi
With the law enacted 20 years ago monsters penetrated human society. However, the fundamental difference between people and demons persists and there is a lot of protest movement, so the government dedicates an entire city of the Kanto prefecture as a monster 's living area with full autonomy - Baharihara City.
Main heroine Saki lives this city with her vampire father and human mother. She gets caught up in the rapist attacks and discovers powers of an old god inherited from her father vampire. However, the government of Baharihara City can't tolerate rivalry and plans to assassinate Saki. So starts the battle over Saki and the Old god in the Baharihara City.
This is a bakage with a heavy use of deformed character CG. Saki is supposed to be main heroine, but the viewpoint actually changes a lot of times. Play time is about 7 hours, and the tempo is good most of the time. But there are mini-games that mess with the tempo, especially shooter one with sloppy mouse controls. It's possible to focus on different girls, but the routes repeat for the most part, and thus it's not fun to
6. Nakanai Neko なかない猫 [000707] Scramble House
One day Naoki sees a dream that recovers forgotten memories. In the dream he kills his parents inspired by his sister-in-law.
Naoki resonates with the girls who have "heart wounds". Will he be able to heal their and his own wounds?
Game starts with a blood scene and is built on this contrast of a shocking start and movement to a happy end. Story is told from the 3rd point of view. Story is relatively short and differs with every choice - it's much better than going through the same main route over and over again. There are a lot of insult scenes and bad endings. So returning to normal life is already enough for a happy ending.
7. Milkyway [000708] Witch
Fed up with your lazy attitude, your parents depart on travel for an indefinite amount of time, leaving you with the responsibility of taking care of the family cafe and your little sister. With the help of your childhood friend, you rearrange the shop, and hire new people, hoping to avoid bankruptcy.
A bright restaurant-themed game. There's not such thing as skip unread text here, and also it's impossible to save on the choose location screen, which irritates a lot. Each heroine route is short, but there are a lot of characters, nine, I think. Can't really say much about a moege.
8. The Sound Novel THE サウンドノベル [000713] Oo Parts
The Sound Novel is a first person adventure game where player travels with a girl by car and gets stopped by a policeman informing about the strangeness of the place. Soon young people arrive to an old mansion where they need to search shelter due to tire getting defunct. They get a room and start meeting different people living there. But they will learn soon that nothing is as simple as it looks.
Sound novel is a niche genre focusing on mystery, but it's not my niche.
9. Maverick Max マーヴェリック・マックス [000714] Blue Gale
Distant future. Max is a captain of the fastest space ship that delivers cargo between different start systems. He does not belong to the guild, so can take any kind of requests if he feels like, legal or illegal - does not matter. He has two assistant girls to accompany him. One day he gets a request to deliver a mysterious girl Matilda to a certain start. What awaits him there?
There are six heroines to capture. In the middle of the game and in the end of it there are two different mini-games at enemy attack scene - the latter one has RPG feel about it. Basically first half of the game is world depiction and heroine flagging while second half is conflict between Matilda and some shady organization. As a result the setting is quite good and with a lot of explanation and description, but the number of events is small. Overall the impact of the characters is smaller than that of the previous Blue Gale games Pile Driver and Treating2U.
10. Omakase Doukoukai おまかせ同好会 [000714] Rain Software
Main character attends school theater club. Participants work hard together, and satisfaction from well done job can grow into something more...
A romance comedy with easy to understand school setting. There is full voicing, but speech volume is very bad. The number of CG is relatively small. Quite an average game that's still possible to enjoy.
11. Shinobu - Tsukikage no Meikyuu 偲－月影の迷宮 [000714] C's Ware BLITZ
Sengoku. One day Huaga clan scrolls get stolen by Saiga clan. Three Huaga clan shinobi were sent to recover the scrolls, but failed. Now a legendary ninja exiled from the Huaga clan in the past is requested to take up the task. Game screen may look intimidating, but it's more of an adventure game than an RPG, it just looks this way to imitate RPG experience. Story is action one, but ero-tilt and not exciting enough. Since it's C's Ware minor branch and no CARNELIAN present, the game does not interest me much.
12. Suki da yo! 好きだよっ！ [000714] Ather 1 2
True love or just true lust?
As one of the most handsome guys on campus, Jun has never had any trouble finding a girl who wants to have a good time, but while the sex is always hot, something just seems to be missing... love. Jun's search to find that special someone leads him to the Shinbashi sisters, his good childhood friends! Should he go for Reina, the gorgeous blonde who overflows with kindness? How about Rina, the perky and agile sports girl who's had a crush on Jun for years? And then there's the mysterious Mina, the fiery redhead with a sharp tongue and a hot body who's just reappeared in his life... Three very different sisters, but all have the same needs and desires. Will Jun ever be able to pick just one?
Story is actually not as straightforward as in anime. Main character is taken for a molester in the train and has to resolve this misunderstanding at school. For the most of the game we just receive requests and fulfill them in some manner which rises favorability level of certain girls. But in the second part of the game father suddenly remarries and we get three sisters-in-law suddenly living under the same room. The period is relatively long - one year. Some unrealistic features as clones and ghosts are used. There are some bugs like voice accompanying wrong text is some parts. Overall an average game with much less H tilt than in anime version.
13. Twin Way [000714] Studio e.go! 1
Takada is the main character, a karate club member with a few bad habits. He is getting frustrated with being compared to his brother at every turn who started a dojo of his own.
He makes some friends over the internet and after meeting them his life begins to change, gradually he gets closer with more than a few girls and soon he arrives at a crossroads, which way will he chose his life to go?

14. Shoin, Aruiwa Ushinawareta Yume no Monogatari. 書淫、或いは失われた夢の物語。 [000715] 1 2 3 4 5 6
Two scenarios:
Shoin: You play as N, whose true identity is x, a serial rapist; with your latest job, you go to a hotel where three women, Hinata, Yukari and Misa, are staying, and you have to rape them. However, the first morning a note appears in your room, from somebody who claims to be x. Ushinawareta Yume no Monogatari: The protagonist Akira is staying in a hotel with his friend from college Misa, and along with two other women, Hinata and Yukari. A morning, when they wake up, they discover that they have been closed off from the outer world, and they are left with a message saying that they will be trapped "until the winter comes".

15. Liberal リベラル [000720] Clio
Main character is a college student who attracts misfortune. One day he receives a letter from a childhood friend asking to return to home town during fall vacations. He is welcomed warmly upon arrival. But this town has been cursed 100 years ago. Hero needs help five girls with different troubles to lift the curse from inhabitants and himself.
Period is just a week, and it's needed to form ties with one of girls by day 8 or it's game over. One playthrough is as short as two hours. Just one H scene for each of five heroines. Setting is not used to the fullest. Text interactions are only funny with certain characters. There is nothing immersive or exciting here, not even in the ending.
16. Snow Drop [000720] Sweet Basil 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Snow drop is a beautiful European herb known for bearing nodding white flowers that often appear while the snow is on the ground, despite the cold of winter around it. Filled with symbolism of "hope" and "consolation," the beautiful flower is the central theme in Snow Drop, the romantic wintertime bishoujo adventure from Peach Princess!
You are Minoru Sasazuka, age 19, a bit of a dreamer with a difficult tendency of not being able to make decisions when your heart is involved. A normal Japanese boy, trying to get into college, you've got a handsome physique that should make you popular with girls, but your occasional penchant for romanticism drives them away. Invited on a winter dream ski trip with a group of friends, you head for a ski lodge for some winter skiing and fun.

You've suspected this, but haven't ever been able to face this before now, with the magical and romantic winter snow all around you.

17. Calendar Girl カレンダーガール [000721] Foster
Hero has a tedious personality, but once he says to himself "I want to have a girlfriend by summer vacations". He has sympathies for three nice girls around him...
Forster first pure love story! That's the new trend and they hopped in. All three heroines are very cute and voicing is good. But apart of that there is no impact. There is nothing special in hero and characters, and text is not particularly good either. Without the traditional Foster tilt to funny and unusual H events there's not much to talk about.
18. Drill Shoujo Spiral Nami ドリル少女 スパイラル・なみ [000721] Evolution
Our lonely and bored guy decided to buy a maid doll robot. Since he can't afford a new doll, he ended up buying a prototype with a missing right arm. The store owner put in a drill arm as replacement. So, to get enough money to buy a normal arm for his maid, he let her work Monday to Friday to train her stats and earn some money. On Saturday and Sunday, he can take her to doll fights to win more money, or have fun with her if he bought parts necessary. If he defeat other dolls, they might like him too. This game is nice that even though you have one year, you can end the game early with most doll girls.
Evolution continues its experiments with gameplay eroge, and as I see it, not too successfully. There is pretty much nothing in the game but these two protruding elements.
19. Sentimental Graffiti 2 センチメンタルグラフティ2 [000727] STACK software 1 2 3
The second game takes place in a world in which the first protagonist died in a traffic accident during his journey. The game takes place in a college town in which the original 12 girls have gathered to attend. The protagonist, Shiina Kouhei, is a second-year college student and a member of the Photography Club. He has been tasked with the job of finding his own model for the photo exhibition at the upcoming school festival, and thus turns to one of the now emotionally scarred girls in hopes of convincing them to become his model.

20. Baroque Syndrome バロックシンドローム [000727] Sting 1 2
A prequel to the post-apocalyptic RPG Baroque, Baroque Syndrome chronicles the events that precede the supernatural apocalypse of the original game, in which all of earth has been devastated by a massive heat wave. You take the role of Kitsune Kanazawa, a Japanese student that becomes entangled in the investigation of a series of supernatural murders, which will slowly introduce key characters who will play a part in the upcoming apocalypse.
It's mostly for rpg fans since we kind of know the outcome already.
21. Hoshi no Furusato -Stardust Memories- 星の降る里 －STARDUST MEMORIES－ [000728] Face
Main character loses memory after an accident and returns to his hometown to regain his memory. Through conversations with cute girls there he starts to recover, but at the same time he realizes the promises he made long time ago.
Game is a true disaster. The talks are monotonous, the H events are sudden. Heroines are typical and blank. The quiz about little details from previous encounters is irritation. It's hard to find even a single appeal point here, not even the graphics.
22. Kirameku Shunkan きらめく瞬間 [000728] Black Light
Main character breaks a leg in a motorcycle accident and starts to undergo three months treatment in the hospital. This hospital is admitted by students from the same school. He is found by his classmate who can't stop surprising how seriously ill people fight their problems with optimism every day.
Another Treating2U clone with an absolutely plain protagonist. The only surprising thing in the game is one boys love route.
23. Portrait ポートレイト [000728] Tesla
Main character attends a religious school. As a member of art club he has his hesitations sometimes. One day he reads a book and gets so much inspired by it that decides to make his new work with this book as a motif. Each day he works with girls on his work and each night he interacts with their hearts in his dreams.
Quite a unique work with a lot of reviews. There are 8 kinds of stories prepared for 4 heroines - one love and one insult for each. Game only takes 6 days, but the amount of text is large as there is both real world and the world of dreams. It's a serious scenario-centered psycho nakige, but also with insult routes.
24. Pure Heart ~Sekai de Ichiban Anata ga Suki~ Pure Heart ～世界で一番アナタが好き～ [000728] Saga Planets
In the future there is a boom of robotics and female humanoids AI-D are developed. Main character suddenly gets a large money from a contest and decides to buy his own AI-D android. How will his living together with a robot fare?
It's kind of a SIM game to cultivate a perfect female android in one year time. Schedule, training... you know the drill. AI-D is cute and all, but I won't ever understand SIM games.
25. Rimlet [000728] Tail
Rimlet is a cafe with a calm atmosphere where main character starts to work as a part-time worker. The staff members and customers make his heart sing there. Can he heal girls troubles and make them smile again?
There are only three heroines and story is only good for one main heroine. Setting is thin and development is too fast.
26. Tsuioku 追憶 [000728] Purple
Main character is a martial arts master who gets to live at a Shinto priest family together with three beautiful shrine maidens. But as memories of his previous life gradually wake up, he starts to treat the priest family members differently... with jealousy, affection, hatred.
A new purple game, but it is a different scenario writer from Lien, so scenario is not even remotely as good. The setting is focused on mystics, martial arts and past life, and this mix makes me feel bored already. There are three heroines both with good endings and bad endings. There are fight scenes in the game, but just few of them. Game is sometimes evaluated as Okinawa version of Kuon no Kizuna, and that's a very good comparison... same deadly boring.
27. Tsukushite Agechau 2 Nandemo Shichau no 尽くしてあげちゃう2 なんでもしちゃうの [000728] Trabulance
Main character has rough appearance, but there are several girls around him who start to pay him a lot of attention. He wants just peaceful life with a girlfriend - but what will he get?
A continuation of an easygoing franchise with a distinctive ero tilt. The difficulty level is surprisingly high for such kind of game. Game is not voiced and there is not enough expression in text. Game is divided into two half - first flagging a girl and then living with her.

One year has passed.
Similar incidents start to happen again in the real world at the same school, so our heroes decide to start an investigation.
This series known since first game was PS exclusive original concept game and quite a breakthrough for the year 1999, but this sequel comes 9 years after and requires to know the original. It uses already outdated graphics and devilish flag system that contemporary users aren't accustomed to. As a sequel it's not bad, but focus is tilt for the heroines as even after clearing all the endings it's not possible to solve the mystery.

7. Infinite Loop ~Kojou ga Miseta Yume~ インフィニットループ ～古城が見せた夢～ [080724] Nippon Ichi
The story is set in a medieval European kingdom being torn apart by a mysterious plague. This disease starts immediately after the king's death and as the crown prince, you have to discover the truth behind it.

Possess the people in the castle, listen to their conversation and carry on with your investigations. Possess all sorts of people and discover their hidden agenda that will eventually lead you to your answers.
Basically, game concept is told in the synopsis. Possess different people as a ghost and learn new information. There is also dream intervention system when we come to the dreams of possessed characters and can say a key word to advance our investigation. And of course there's loop after hitting dead end. Basically, a detective game.

Kraus wanders around deep in the forest where people think monsters often appear. Why is Kraus there...? Several days ago, a bishop, his grandfather, passed away. All his fortune was supposed to be inherited by Kraus, but it was confiscated. Kraus lost everything and decided to meet his mother, who lives at the Ainsworth's Mansion that is located deep in the forest....
It's a quirky erotic occult comedy with warm atmosphere. Heroines are all loli, but vary by nature - demon, ghost, doll, witch, zombie. Content is silly, and volume is not big.
9. Ars:Magna! あるすまぐな！-ARS：MAGNA- [080725] light
The story takes place in the near future. Magic is used as next generation clean energy and the government sets up the National Magic and Science Institute. Tsukumo, a high school student, is offered to enter the National Magic High School since he has a special power and he immediately accepts the offer. On his first day at school, he meets his old friend, Noeru...
Common route takes at least 70% of screen time, then there is branch between sets of characters equaling 20% of time, and actual individual routes are left with nonsense 10%. Scenario is subtle and dwells on normal school life with cultural festival and such. Plus, there are almost no references to magic usage, so magic is only for show. There is hardly anything worthy of notice in this game apart of nice graphics.

Private detective Kojiroh Amagi was playing mahjong as usual when he realized that here was not enough tiles. A girl standing next to him handed him one tile. But when Kojiroh tried to talk to her, another guy appeared, took away the girl and suggested to forget everything seen just now. It was the beginning of a series of horrific events and card battles.
I dislike card games, but I need to see all the misery that EVE series comes through. And... there's nothing good in this game for EVE enthusiasts at all, just a strip mahjong, sadly. Being based on the ugliest game in the series New Generation, it's also questionable even for H scenes.

14. Sora o Tobu, 3tsu no Houhou 空を飛ぶ、3つの方法。 [080725] La'cryma
"Can you fly?
Can I fly? How do you fly?" Kakeru is an ordinary high school student. One day, he was going to school as usual, but as he got there he saw lots of toy soldiers storming the building. He is lead to a classroom with some other students, still baffled at what was going on. Suddenly, a schoolgirl storms into the classroom and says "Sorry, we've occupied your school. If you don't want to die, please fly in one month." Everyone is shocked, but take the news enthusiastically. They have a party to get acquainted, and their month starts...
Game world is pretty much like real world... apart of sudden appearance of toy soldiers and flying, of course. It develops like a parody with focus on geek activities like manga, anime and games. Basically, common route is mostly bakage while individual routes turn into a nakige. Development is opportunistic. True ending is rather questionable, but overall concept of two worlds allows for more interesting scenario moves. A nice small masterpiece.

As they get close to the point of the case, the existence of another crime comes to light. Who is the culprit...? What's going on in the ship...?
Pretty much a suspense detective game with all the Tactical Motion Talk (choosing posture and emotion) and stuff.

One day, he loses his consciousness due to hunger and tiredness and is saved by Fina. Fina has a special power that she can call musical instruments. At the festival, there is a music contest and he decides to take part in it with her....
Escu:de were never good at romance, and with such a fluffy synopsis they failed big time again. Neither participating in musical festival, nor shift into fantasy by the end can mend things here. Well, music is pretty good, and moe level is quite high. But that's not even remotely enough for a good game.

Scenario is a mess beyond repair. Midway it turns into a harem game. Comedy gets increasingly frustrating. All heroines are naive idiots. Endings are predictable early, so can just skip, confirm your guess and uninstall.

Their lives go about as normal, until Arisu has been absent from school for a total of three days. As Outa wonders what’s wrong with her, she drifts past him in odd clothes with a mysterious look about her. Outa is then pulled into Wonderland along with her. His mission? To save her, and drag her out of there no matter what. Amidst a mysterious world filled with talking rabbits and bickering flowers, why does Arisu insist on being called Alice?

Foreword: Assassins... hackers... I expected the second luv wave or Phantom of Inferno from this game. It proved to be quite different...

Structure: 3 days
Length: 1.5 hour for first playthrough, 30 mins for consequent 7 ones
Game type: Pseudo-action erotic thriller
Difficulty: Easy, only three choices for two variants each, and each branch leads to a different ending.
Character Design rating: 1/10
Protagonist rating: 1/10
Story rating: 1/10
Game quality: 1/10
Overall rating: 1/10
Rating comments: Game's a joke.
Protagonist: Kensuke is a protagonist whose presence is not felt at all.
Characters: There aren't heroine routes. Characters here have very little screen time, and they manage to waste a large portion of that time for spontaneous H events.
Story: First thing that surprised me in synopsis is rap-band. Does such thing even exist in real world? Rappers don't really need a group, and a group of rappers can't read rap together. This is definitely not a rap band in the game. But we get to see in the opening and the ending the gigs of this band played by real life actors (and maybe even real musicians). And those are one of the most sore gigs I ever seen. Horrible song sung with hypocritical looks. But as game goes on every trace of story gets lost in spontaneous H events every odd minute and just absurdity of everything happening. Half of that little time devoted to the story protagonist just investigates dossiers of his future enemies via pc. The rest is a super forced development with some crazy characters like the monastery nun. When I tried to think what this game reminds me ... it's LIGHT MY FIRE by Take in 1998. Same musicians as main characters, same new religion threatening to conquer the world, same total absurdity of everything happening and same flood of H scenes.
I recorded only one "branch" because other branches are totally the same except for H event with a different heroine or routes with just Bad endings, branches purely for additional H events.
CG: There are quite a few cool ones, but they can't mend anything. The ratio of non-HCG to HCG are 1 to 4... Animated multi-staged H encounter with Ann only adds to the one-sidedness.
Overall comments: I can only repeat that game's a wicked joke. It tries to mimic luv wave and Phantom of Inferno with lowest level content and not a single element to enjoy.
Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- is undoubtedly the game of the month. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni makes the second masterpiece. But the world does not need yet another review of either of it, so I'll review Bokura ga Koko ni Iru Fushigi. which I also consider a masterpiece.
1. Beast 21 ~Ryoujoku no Yakata~ BEAST21 ～凌辱の館～ [020802] Birdy Soft
10 years ago the hero suddenly became plagued by strange nightmares.
He remember something about a strange woman in an old mansion of his youth days. Willing to discover the truth, the hero goes with his girlfriend to this mansion in a raining night.
"Birdy Soft" tries to recreate the spirit of original game. For that we choose of two heroines as lovers and investigate rooms to reveal the mystery - game story changes a lot with different girl. And the gameplay is akin to it - we search items in the rooms in order to use them later. Scenario is of zero level of quality. Of course it's a nukige, but was still curious to know how this "sequel" is made.
2. Yami-iro no Douwa 闇色の童話 [020802] Candle
Main characters goes together with his university circle members on a training trip to a pension resort. They finally reach the place but what dark things await them inside.
Guro utsuge horror with friends dying all the time. Development is often forced, so it will probably only suit those seeking horror.
3. First Kiss☆Story II ~Anata ga Iru Kara~ ファーストKiss☆物語II 〜あなたがいるから〜 [020808] HuneX 1
A domineering father demands that his son join him in the family business but junior has other plans. To escape the tyranny and familial obligations, the young man runs away and settles in Amagi City located in Fukuoka Prefecture where he grew up. Once there, he proceeds to reunite with girls from his childhood as well as acquaint himself with new female targets, er friends, which may lead to love.
It's a direct sequel with love line of Kana to be realized here, so now she can be officially treated as main heroine of prequel. It starts as a comedy and has serious development later.
4. Bokura ga Koko ni Iru Fushigi. ぼくらがここにいるふしぎ。 [020809] FlyingShine 1
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
Scenario is written by the same person who wrote Lien and homerically funny Konoha Challenge, so that's an instant stamp of quality. Story is nothing new, but it feels deeply lyrical and funny thanks to numerous gags. Capture order is fixed and that allows to construct a story-centered narration. Don't expect a real masterpiece here, but Arakawa fans will like the game.
5. Mizu no Kakera みずのかけら [020809] Io
"Please... please help me..."
"Please... look..." "Look for the shrine...' The story tells about a hero who suddenly received a letter from his cousin to be invited to their home. He hears a mysterious voice of a girl and follows it... A mysterious legend and a hidden truth comes out when the heroes join the journey to remember something that was forgotten until now.
The resolution to this samurai legend mystery comes really fast. There are a lot of heartwarming scenes. Nostalgia rural story does not really touch any strings in my heart.
6. Ryouki no Ori Dai 4 Shou 猟奇の檻 第4章 [020809] Penguin Works
After joining the manga research club with impure motives due to its female members the protagonist is now convinced to accept a job as a volunteer security staff at a manga convention that is said to receive 500.000 people over 5 days.
But trouble starts happening. A fire is started at a stand, a threatning letter is delivered to stop the event and then things start to escalate...
Place is now Comiket, and cage no longer feels bizarre in the way that crimes are much milder now and mystery weaker. Lots of cuties and laughter this time. What remains unchanged is high difficulty level with all this travelling around lots of places.
7. SinsAbell ~Hi Gureshi Sora no Tooku~ SinsAbell～緋昏し空の遠く～ [020809] Studio Miris
A wave of witch hunting struck a peaceful town 400 years ago. Among the burned victims was one girl, but the same night everlasting fire covered the whole town in flames. Main character comes from a family of a legendary demon hunter. He was attacked by the evil spirit in his childhood, and now he continues his hunt for demons. One day an unmanned train with all the passengers disappeared appears on the TV. Protagonist's magical sight detects a demon of unprecedented scale. He sees an image of all the passengers burnt alive - yes, just like witch hunting.
Adventure with battles made in 3D fighting mode. Either boy or girl can be chosen as main hero. Story is quite heavy and decadent as most of acquaintances get killed in the story process. Quite a scary experimental work who can get through the combos and fighting flow.
8. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ひぐらしのなく頃に [020810] 07th Expansion 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa, which has a population of approximately 2000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro-sama. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro-sama. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed.
Game is localized and there are English reviews.
9. Memorial Song メモリアルソング [020822] Vridge Inc. 1 2
The protagonist, whose name is entered by the player, is a high-school student. This game is trying to show how a song can awaken the memories of the past and tie them together. The story opens as you listen to a song on a CD and start reminiscing events from the past... and of course, all the girls you met.
There is a bit information in English, and that's all you'd want to know about this game.
10. Crank In -Soushunfu- クランクイン－早春賦－ [020823] Hotchkiss 1
Keita Amamiya's dream is to become a movie director, and he's now studying hard to enter college. One day, he finds an 8mm movie camera at a recycle shop, "Kaikodo ? Memories House,"
that he's always wanted. He asks the owner, Shino, to sell it to him, but she won't; it's not for sale. However, she informs him that she will give the camera to the person she likes most. He'll do anything for that camera, and he takes on a job at her store to impress her. There's just one, small problem; his cousin Mami Sashibe has already been admitted to college, and she's helping him with his studies. If she finds out about his job, she's going to be pissed! Even worse, a girl in hunting clothes suddenly shows up at the store and tries to get the camera. Will he ever get his dream camera? Don't forget that Mami will try her best to screw everything up between the two. How about the girl in hunting clothes; what about Shino!? You've got to play this game to find out!!!
Short cheap work with low production values, also borderline eroge.
11. Galaxy Angel ギャラクシーエンジェル [020823] Broccoli 1 2 3 4
Galaxy Angels are from the "Special Guardian Division" and they work closely with the "Imperial Special Guards" and the "Satellite Defense Teams". They are the guardians of the White Moon, the sacred planet of the Transbaal Empire, and the personal protectors of the White Moon Goddess Shatoyan. The story begins with Prince Eonia attempting a take over of the Transbaal Empire with the aid of the mysterious Black Moon, counterpart to the White Moon. To counter Prince Eonia, the Angel-tai along with their flagship the Elsior are placed in the hands of the kind and ever-capable Commander Takuto Meyers.
There are English reviews.
12. Kaze no Uta 風ノ唄 [020823] Milksoft 1
The story takes place in a small rural area around the seaside town called Sakuragi-cho. The protagonist returns from Tokyo to spend the summer in a town which brings him a lot of nostalgic memories. But after being absent for so long, unaware about the current events in the town, the summer vacations may not be so carefree and relaxing as you expect them to be.
Story is heavy and all girls have either health or mental problems. Scenario is thin and development monotonous.
13. Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- [020829] KID 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Ever17 is the tale of seven individuals who come to be trapped 153 feet within the underwater marine theme park, LeMU. During an apparently normal day at the park, a massive accident happens, placing almost half of the facility underwater. The path to the surface and the communication lines are cut off. In addition, LeMU is under constant assault by severe water pressure, limiting time to find a means of escape to 119 hours. Escape is not the only concern, however; many questions arise as to the legitimacy of the accident and whether or not those trapped there were brought there for a purpose.
Game that does not need introduction - lots of reviews.
14. Aikagi ~Hidamari to Kanojo no Heyagi~ あいかぎ～ひだまりと彼女の部屋着～ [020830] F&C FC02
Takashi Murase lived an average live along his father but one day, he suddenly died in a car accident. Unable to live by himself, Takashi's homeroom teacher will start living in his house to take care of him - and her sister's joining this new family too! What will be of the three of them..?
Narrow view of the world, and same actions repeat over in over with cohabitation as main theme. Nothing special about this work.
15. Gonna Be?? Gonna Be?? [020830] Groover 1
The man is an agent for the ministry of research. No one knows his name, only his code name, "September." His main duties are spying overseas, but on return from an assignment, he is suddenly ordered to spy on students at an all-girls' school, "Akisui." He's not too happy about the situation, but orders are orders...
Disguised as "Shun Mishima," he becomes a teacher, where he runs into an ex-girlfriend who once betrayed him, "Miyuki Jinnai." She hands him a drug, and even though he's been burned by her before, he gulps it down... He changes into a "girl!!" She tells him, "You now have a free pass around the school..." Why did the ministry send him to this all-girls' school anyway? With the ability to switch identities, will he be able to clear up the mystery at the school? With their big hit, "Green-Green," Groover, will now try their hand at a "transsexual spy adventure" this summer. Many new innovations have been made to their system, and even the characters are more unique and interesting than their previous game!
Genre is self-defined as "Intrusive sex conversion spy adventure"? but in fact it's a complete bakage with weird characters. The story is single road with three consequent chapters, each with its own ending. Main character constantly changes from man to woman and each heroine has at least one H scene with him as a man and as a woman.
16. Gyakutama ぎゃくたま [020830] Discovery
Main character is always short for money since he's the only working member of the family after his mother death. He needs to pay the debt within a month or house will be taken for debts. He's very good in athletics, and because of that he gets a place at a super prestigious school. Since he can't get the money the proper way, he intends to get the money from naive rich ladies at school.
It's a very orthodox system. One month, three actions allowed per day and lots of girls to chase. Otherwise it's a normal moege with a comedy touch.
17. Himawari ひまわり [020830] Regrips
A small former mining village is almost fully destroyed by tsunami. Main character goes to teach in Tokyo, but eventually returns. He is greeted coldly by remaining villagers, and his heart shrinks even further. That is until he meets a girl.
Redundant system and scenario loopholes make reading painful. Three heroines stories look unrealistic.
18. Mizukabe みずかべ [020830] F&C FC01
Mizukabe is a direct sequel to one of the endings of the game Suigetsu. The game also includes wallpapers of Suigetsu.
Short game with straightforward scenario and just one heroine Nana for capture, but there also H scene for Kosaka sisters.
19. Re☆cycling Day's Re☆さいくりんぐDay’s [020830] Paprika
Main character is student who prepares for entrance exams. But he also has enough time to chase girls around him. Who will he live with during his college life?
A SIM game where girl choice depends on parameters value. Part-time jobs are also needed to buy physical strength items. Game's super boring because lack of events.

Upon seeing their advance forces, Sayuka rushed into a nearby back alley, where Kyouhei, having chased after her, found her absorbed in masturbation.

With her transformation complete, Sayuka soon drove away the army of Dai-Lust. Having returned home, baffled by what he had seen, Kyouhei found himself being greeted by a girl named Madoka, who claimed to be a robot living with Sayuka. Madoka went on to explain that Sayuka acquired the necessary energy to transform into Escalayer and drive away Dai-Lust only by experiencing sexual arousal. "I'm begging you, please make my heart beat fast!" said Sayuka to Kyouhei... and so their days of sex and war began. Their goal? The total defeat of Dai-Lust!

Most of the candidates already got an English review, so I'm choosing the one with the most swordplay Ochiba no Mau Koro . I guess Lovers ~Koi ni Ochitara... is the only game worthy of masterpiece status this month.
1. Chocolate Days ちょこれ～とDays [031003] Xuse
The protagonist is Mogami Takuya, your basic cliche average high school student, whose mother is passed away and father is away on business. There are five very cliche women in his life: an older friend from childhood who calls herself his sister and takes care of the household, a Kansai-ben beer-loving older cousin who lives with them, a nymphomaniac teacher, and two twin sisters who are students a grade above him. The game basically follows his life surrounding one of the heroines for the month of February, with several different text choices on each route.
First half of the game has fun in it, but there's also feeling that we saw all that somewhere. Fuka scenario and ending is the only impressive one. Everything feels half-baked, even the devil route.
2. Tenshi no Kakera The Lost Article of Memory てんしのかけら the lost article of memory [031003] Io
Memory keeps binding people...
Main character acquires teacher's license, but is unable to find proper job. For half a year he only reads lectures and gives tutor exercises. Finally a vacancy at a municipal girls school in a small town opens up, and protagonist jumps at the opportunity. A silent girl with a mysterious presence, a class representative and a reliable person, an inspiring fast-runner girl, a former classmate to accidentally meet here - they all resemble angels. Various encounters await main character. The thread of memories will finally be repaired - but in which way?
Atmosphere is great, and each of four heroines has a big number of endings - 3 or 4 - ranging from very good to very bad. Teacher behaves here almost like detective investigating troublesome past memories of each girl. That makes scenario a bit heavy. There is such thing as "memory repair shop" - that basically means that we don't just investigate bad memories, we're also able to cut them off the girl. That's kinda crazy and has SF or occult feeling, but it is what it is. Game's quite nice, but it runs of flash engine with all its awkwardness and poor systems.
3. The Musume♥ Ikusei Simulation ~Otousan to Issho~ THE 娘♥育成シミュレーション 〜お父さんといっしょ〜 [031009] Yuki Enterprise

Yen another raising SIM
4. 2 x 4! -Hitotsu Yane no Shita de- 2×4！－ひとつ屋根の下で－ [031010] Mu
Main character attends cooing school and lives in a boarding house. Next to him there are rooms of a prank-lover girl, loli cosplay maniac and cute owner girl who loves sweets.
Laughter sounds there all day long. Can protagonist find his love there?
Just an ero-tilt moege. There is a schedule and various systems to trigger H events including harem ones.
5. Lovers ~Koi ni Ochitara...~ LOVERS～恋に落ちたら…～ [031010] Jellyfish 1
One day, Wakiya, the main character's close friend, tells him that he loves Rie. She is the main character's old friend, so he promises to support him. But Rie and the main character actually love each other... And they finally begin to date in secret...
There is an English review.
6. Folklore Jam [031024] Hermit 1
The story places the player in the shoes of one Momose Yuuichi. Our protagonist is an ordinary member of the Shotou Academy's student council that is forced to join the school's new up-and-coming Occult Study Group (Occult Kenkyuukai, or OkaKen) after he loses a bet with his childhood friend, Yaotome Itsuki. Though he is a realist, Yuuichi is easily scared when faced with the eerie and unexplained, but chooses to remain with the OkaKen in order to carry out his terms of the bet. As such, the game introduces the player to Kannagi City, its denizens, and the misadventures of the OkaKen as they face mysteries and challenges from the living and those beyond the mortal coil.
There is an English review.
7. GakuPara!! ~Gakuen Paradise!!~ がくパラ!!～GAKUEN PARADISE!!～ [031024] Studio e.go!
Inoue Seiji was experimented on by his friend Momiji, and now his bodily fluids act as a love potion. He attracts females just by sneezing or sweating. Because of the experiment, Momiji was kicked out of science club. If he wants to return to his normal self, they need to recruit five people to form another club.
Quite silly comedy that inevitably falls into harem state.
8. Hi no Tsuki 緋の月 [031024] Milksoft
End of Edo period.
Main character travels with a master of the sword searching for Kanzaki who killed protagonist's adopted father. In the middle of the trip they get caught up in a case in a small port town. In the mids of investigation the name of Kanzaki shows up, but in a new context - linked to gods, opus and castle lord. The hour of revenge draws near.
Story looks deep and serious, but in fact it's a surprisingly light scenario. The second part is darker, but still the game is more about atmosphere than the story. In different routes plot remains almost the same, but viewpoint changes, and the tempo is good, so it does not get boring. There is just one H event per heroine. For a masterpiece it lacks volume and re-readability.
9. Kimi no Omoi, Sono Negai 君の想い、その願い [031024] Tumugi
Main character moves to Tokyo to pursue medical career. One day he learns about his former lover death. That makes him return to home town for the first time in six years. He meets a lot of acquaintance girls there. What salvation does he seek? What salvation can he give? He does not want to lose the loved ones anymore...
There are five heroines, plus one hidden scenario that shows up after everything else is cleared. First playthough is just 3 hours while consequent ones can be done in two hours. That's not really enough time to solve all love and death problems. And while scenario lacks behind, eroticism is on the rise.
10. Ochiba no Mau Koro 落ち葉の舞う頃 [031024] Noa
Amami Kouji lost his parents in an accident when he was a child. After that he was adopted by his father's friend Kusanagi Keisuke, the chief priest of the Shinto shrine of Misaka City. Since then he has lived with Keisuke and his daughters, Makoto and Minato.
In the accident he didn't lose only his parents, but his left eye as well. Now he is learning the art of swordsmanship and he's too good for someone with only an eye: even though his left eye can't see anything, it allows him to “see” impending dangers and other people's killing intent as “lines”. He calls them “death lines”. One day he's having lunch on the rooftop of his school with Makoto, Minato and his friend Kaiji, when he notices a girl, Hirasaka Suzuka, getting bullied by three girls. After rescuing her they make friend. Two days later he meets a girl, Haruka Lichtenbein, who recently moved from England to Misaka and got lost on her way home, and decides to help her. As the time passes by, strange events happen in his city. Strange monsters appear and attack girls on night. And a strange blond-haired guy seems to have something to do with all these events...
Modern fantasy. Setting has multiple plot holes. Routes are very different from heroine to heroine.
11. Kita e. ~Diamond Dust~ 北へ。～Diamond Dust～ [031030] Hudson Soft
The story is about six different girls, each living in a different city on the island of Hokkaidou. Each girl believes in a myth of snow turning into diamond dust, and if one makes a wish on the diamond dust, the wish is 100% guaranteed to come true. Another myth about diamond dust is that if a boy and girl meet under the dust, they're guaranteed happiness and marriage later in life. Each of the six girls have some stubborn moments and awkward stages in their lives, but looking into themselves and others will help them get back on their feet. When these six girls meet, their lives will change dramatically for the better as the snow begins to fall.
As expected, game's only good for Hokkaido atmosphere and opening song. Don't expect a story or strong scenario here.
12. Amatsumiyo 天ツ澪 [031031] Soubi Kenkyuujo
Main character is a student who has a goal to become teacher. He transfers to a school with ancient roots. Some girls here inherit ancient powers of ancestors. Protagonist is curious and starts to investigate. Future holds multiple possibilities from here.
There are three heroines, and treatment of some heroines looks very odd. There are just two choices in the game - first one for deciding the branch, second one for deciding the heroine. Game emphasizes atmosphere in expense of the pace. The flow is the same for all heroines even if individual problems are different. H element is a bit too dense, but overall it's a decent atmospheric game.
13. Gaku Love ~Wagamama na Ponytail~ 学らぶ～わがままなポニーテイル～ [031031] Anim
The reunion had arrived on the day after a long time in the company that you served every day.
View your postcard while confirming that you attend as the ''let's also graduated Toriao contact!'' Although recalled the words that you promised to a fellow on the day of the graduation ceremony, not the promise to be fulfilled in the course of such, utmost to that we continue to live each day... And ''have everyone healthy?'', try to read over the wind that was on the shelf, recall the friends who now meet after a long time has pulled the school 3 years 11 sets of graduation proceedings.

With a bitter smile on your face, watching something that you haven't seen in a long time, also in order towards the reunion, and after the room to close the proceedings. And the journey... but before that remember that day.....
Game moves in chapters, and heroine must be decided for each chapter. Each chapter is a story of the heroine with different than protagonist males. Game mostly is of comical nature, but there are couple villains that are responsible for the bulk of dark scenes in the game. There are four chapters, and one playthrough takes roughly four hours. H degree is high.
14. Ishika to Honori イシカとホノリ [031031] Azurite 1 2

Game is localized and has review in English.

There is an English review.
16. Manatsu no Tobira ~Kimi to Tsuzuru Monogatari~ 真夏の扉～君と綴る物語～ [031031] Harbor 1
You play as a character asked by his sick sister to share with her a picture book that he made. Inevitably, this leads to romantic entanglements with a group of young girls, including Yukina Sakura, Yun Kitami, Nanami Mizuhara, Kaori Kashima, and Mayuko Hatuse.
Although it's the story that seems familiar from somewhere, it's quite steady and has good connections between the heroines. Slice of life scenes are boring. Protagonist is no good. Overall it's a siscon cheap game with average values.
17. Natsuiro ~Hoshifuru Kohan no Natsuyasumi~ なついろ ～星降る湖畔の夏休み～ [031031] Actress
After the death of his father, Naoki, the protagonist, came back to the hometown he was born after a long time to visit his mother's grave.
At the village owned by his father, he meets four girls, and his interaction with them will change his mind and heart little to little...
Story is slow and relaxing similar to ToHeart, but bad endings return you to senses fast. First half is comical, second one is serious one with one of four heroines. We need to overcome girl's problem. Heroines are attractive, but game lacks integrity.
18. to... [031031] Ankh
Main character visits a seaside town in search of a long-term part-time job. In such unstable state he meets various girls in the town. In interaction he starts to feel his senses awakening. And that changes people around him as well.
In the end it's an ordinary moege with a normal content. Each of five heroines has some trouble of mind, and of course we need to settle that. Story goes in a hasty manner lacking descriptions and setting the mood. Dialogues are light, but there's nothing else to praise.
19. Tsubasa no Uta つばさのうた [031031] Octave
A beautiful angel Rutiel suddenly appears before the main character. She confesses that she is expelled from Heavens for losing her wings. The search does not bear fruits, so they decide to live together for the time being. A sick younger sister and a mischievous devil girl will keep them company.
Period is three months, but story moves in a very fast face with lots of sudden events, so is too short. Scenario is really weak.

December equals flood of visual novels, and for once in a while of good quality. Saya no Uta is unrivaled VN of the month. Konata yori Kanata made makes for another masterpiece. I'm reviewing the mysterious Gin no Hebi Kuro no Tsuki
1. Colorful Box カラフルBOX [031205] Sound Tail
A "comical story" set in a school. You play as main character Narumi Morizuki who's been selected to work on the school festival committee. The game takes place over a one month period and has you interact with six different girls.
Pretty usual school pure love story. Scenario is weak, so overall impression is thin. Heroines have their own charm, but it's difficult not to get bored after couple same looking routes.
2. Gakuen Senki Muryou 学園戦記ムリョウ [031205] M²TO
It is an adventure game in which players transfer students to unravel the mysteries around Amano City and Ottsu Junior High School, which is the stage of the story.

7. Anonono. ~Kimi to Sugoshita Ano Hi Ano Toki Ano Mirai~ あののの。～君と過ごしたあの日あの時あの未来～ [031212] Spirit Speak 1
The protagonist suddenly returns to those bygone days of three years ago ...
Leading a life choked with regret, just wishing that he could have one chance to set things right ... The protagonist is an ordinary college student, living out his tedious days in relative peace. But even through his college life, he feels a kind of disquiet that is hard to place -- the root of which comes from the incidents of a certain failed school festival three years ago. After that time, the life and the friends that he had known were scattered to the winds, leaving him with the life he knows now. But if he had the opportunity to do things over again, to set things right, what would he do?
Another beaten school setting. This time both gags and drama are poorly done. Both girl's fall in love and problem solving are forced. Not really a kusoge, just a very low quality level game.

Them brittle, delicate and fleeting existance met with, if I had to say it, a genius person by chance. By his participation, they decided to make noise upon this world.

10. Pizzicato Polka -Suisei Gen'ya- PIZZICATO POLKA－彗星幻夜－ [031212] Pajamas Soft
The game takes place in a town where a series of homicides have taken place. You play as main character Tatsuya Tsuzumi who has come to the town as an exchange student in order to search for his friend, whose whereabouts are unknown. While in town, you get close to a group of girls and begin to learn the true nature of the case plaguing the town.
A mystery story with fantasy elements, like appearance of the witch, and pseudo-historical elements like world war II, Nazi, Holocaust. There are four heroines, but the flow is almost the same, and questions get answered only in main heroine Stella route. Game's not a masterpiece, but with good atmosphere. The main complaint is lack of text and volume.
11. Tail Tale ている・ている [031212] Clover
Ginta is a veterinary doctor at a large hospital. One day, he's appointed to treat six patients, who much to his surprise aren't animals... but people!
Moege with a decent atmosphere. All characters are of unique breed, and are quite cute at that. Actual story is confusing with all the weirdness of setting lacking explanation and unreasonable protagonist.
12. Kanojo no Densetsu, Boku no Sekiban 彼女の伝説、僕の石版 [031218] D3 Publisher
The protagonist travels to a fantasy world where he must retrive a legendary sword with the help of five girls.
11 chapters about 30 minutes each. There are 5 heroines, but hardly any change in the story in individual endings. Setting is beaten, and realization is simplistic. Absolutely uninteresting work.

Now the remaining members of your court, along with your people, are pressing for war. You now have no choice but to fight. Thankfully, lady magicians and soldiers will come to your aide, in more ways that one.
System is almost the same as in prequel, and overall quality level is high, but game lacks uniqueness now. There are both pure love and devil parts.

Main character is an unrivaled masked swordsman who takes up killer jobs and searches for a swordsman stronger than himself. In the same world there is a girl Mari used in experiments by her father searching for immortality. The fate connects these two people in their constant struggle.

His little sister Mai thinks his dream is unrealistic. Even by November, with graduation approaching, Kazuya has not found an answer. Should he believe in himself, or should he rethink and follow the stable path laid out for him like his little sister wishes him to? Meanwhile, Kazuya meets various people...
Main genre is school SOL. Story is short and not particularly interesting, but with enough fun moments. Gamy system is poor. Quite an average game.
17. Machina no Kiseki ~Ogeretsu Daihyakka Gaiden~ マシーナの輝石 ～オゲレツ大百科外伝～ [031219] West Vision

One day they learn that church is about to be demolished. Protagonist needs to raise a large sum of money to save his home. Together with Iris and nun Unia they take up a job of deciphering the contents of ancient books and create devices by the sketches.
It might be unclear from the synopsis, but game is a SIM about developing all kind of sex toys and testing them.

You, the young son of a fisherman on a remote island, find a naked girl collapsed on the beach. A doctor nurses her back to health. She seems to have amnesia.
Two men, claiming to be servants of her household, come to take her away. She appears afraid of them, but what can you do about it? Nothing. The next day, she transfers to your school.
Just a moege with poor scenario this time. The development in 2nd part is spontaneous and leaves a bad aftertaste. Zapping system is introduced just for a check, it does not contribute.
19. V.G. Neo [031219] Giga 1
The latest visual novel returns the series to its roots as a fighting tournament and features an entirely new cast.
There are 9 chapters, and 8 heroines participate in a tournament, so almost every chapter has a fight in it. All winners and losers are predetermined, and losers are being insulted in an animated scene by the clerk before the audience. Story is actually nice as we're being told the beginnings and reasons of the V.G. organization.

21. D -> A: Black [031225] Tonkin House
High-school student Tōya Shinjō is what's known as a "Shinigami" -- an envoy of Hell who guides wandering souls, or "Creeps", who linger in the human realm. Each night, he hunts Creeps along with his partner Yuriel Arlencloyn, a white-winged Angel of Heaven. However, one night during their hunt, they happen to rescue a girl named Natsuki who recognizes Tōya as her classmate. Normal humans are not meant to know of such things as Shinigami and Creeps; with Tōya's own past shrouded in mystery to even himself, and Natsuki also interested romantically in Tōya, things quickly become complicated...
D→A:BLACK is a so-called "active novel" -- a visual novel-style adventure game with realtime battle sequences, divided into six chapters. The story unfolds from Tōya's point of view, largely through voiced dialogue sequences with still images. The player must occasionally make choices that will affect how the story plays out and which of the 11 endings are reached; some decisions are timed, and in many cases not answering at all is also a valid option. At certain points in the game, the player will be attacked by Creeps. Controlling Tōya, his partner Yuriel, and his familiar Rin, the player must defeat the attacker and defend their team in a real-time battle. Each of the characters has various actions they can perform; Tōya and Yuriel can attack, defend, and use special moves, while Rin can defend or recover the other two characters. Each character has an affinity; Tōya's attacks are Dark, and work best against Light enemies, while Yuriel's attacks are the opposite, and Rin can switch between alignments. If any character's HP reaches 0, the battle is lost and the game is over.
Scenario feels not long enough and does not really change with different routes. System remains poor with no skip function. Active novel is a new genre and feels fresh.
22. Saya no Uta 沙耶の唄 [031226] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Fuminori Sakisaka has a traffic accident which kills his parents and leaves him heavily injured. When he has a brain surgery to save his life, his perception of the world changes: everything he sees becomes blood and guts, people's looks and voices seem like monsters, and food that normally appeals to him tastes disgusting.
As he contemplates suicide in the hospital, Fuminori meets a beautiful girl among the flesh-covered walls. She introduces herself as Saya, and is apparently looking for her father. Fuminori does not want to be separated from Saya, and asks her to live with him. She agrees.
It's 3rd most popular visual novel of all times at VNDB, so not a single word about it.
23. Shin Mikagura Shoujo Tanteidan 新・御神楽少女探偵団 [031226] Elf
"Shin Mikagura Tanteidan" is an inference trigger system ADV! It is a game to use the power of reasoning to consider and solve a series of incidents.
Almost no novelty in here, but spirit of prequels is maintained fine.

The protagonist is a war-orphan, a wanderer, a thief out of necessity. Who meets some people by chance and together they change the worlds destiny...
3D field is used everywhere. Game is full of minor flaws, but nothing that can't be tolerated for the sake of the story. Somewhat average game of E-go.

There are no plotge this month. If I am to choose among charage and moege, I'd get one with good text. Dear My Friend is my choice for scenario written by Masada (for two heroines). And just by chance it's the only masterpiece of the month.
1. Dear My Friend [040709] light 1
This light-hearted, high school eroge surrounds the exploits of a soon-to-be non-average student named Kyoichi Morikawa. The son of the odd paring of a nurse and a poorly-selling novelist, he’s been living his life in mind-numbing virtuosity. One auspicious day his father returns home after running errands with a girl (about Kyoichi’s age) claiming to be orphaned. Being the good Samaritan, our hero’s father adopts the hapless girl. Now Kyoichi must explain the extraordinary circumstances to his one and only friend. Furthermore, seeing the main character with a girl has caused several of the female student body to take notice of him...
It's a typical romance game without distinctive personality. But it's reported as a carefully depicted game with a solid scenario, so I hope to find it out myself while reviewing two character routes written by Masada.

But when team's coach collapses in the middle of the match even main character can't stay aside without giving a fight. He will take the challenge and become the best coach of all times!

The game is set in a small town in the fictional Mefukino, Japan, to which the protagonist returns after his experiences in Tokyo. Story is about his experiences on the following days.
Coming of age work. General has many advantages as it's possible to depict friendship in a natural way and move at a slow pace. And game indeed takes it time. Overall it's a normal growing drama as kids hurt others and themselves. Scenario is good for this kind of game, but text itself and protagonist are lacking. Routes branch very early, so there is next to zero interaction between heroines. Nothing stands out, so there is no impact.

He was implanted a compact bomb into his head during that time to force cooperation. There is a self-proclaimed female organization of justice "Astrea" at school. It's only a matter of time when two organizations clash.
Game is pretty funny as evil organization is rather mischievous than evil and justice organization is informal and doing nothing but organizing patrols. Main character is also a good man trying to change evil organization from inside. It does not make this game less fanservice with all the cosplay, though.
9. White Breath ~With Faint Hope~ ホワイトブレス ～with faint hope～ [040723] F&C FC02 1
Tsukasa is in his second year of high school, and is an ace striker for the soccer club. He enjoys his school life with his friends, and hopes it will never end. But one day, he is struck down by incurable illness, and a doctor tells him that his life might not last until the graduation day....
F&C is only good for graphics. So White Breath is an example of an F&C game with even graphics being ugly - worthless. SOL uneventful life kills the fun, and all heroines have the same boring development about solving some problem.
10. Tantei Jinguuji Saburou Series No.04: Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni 探偵 神宮寺三郎 Series No.04 時の過ぎゆくままに [040728] WorkJam 1 2 3
As Jake meets up with his friend Scott Kingsley, he starts to reminisce a case from a year ago when he was asked to investigate a burglary of a mansion. During that time, Yulia finds a young boy who is searching for his mother. Little do they know that these two incidents are related to each other.
There are English reviews.
11. F Fanatic F ~ファナティック~ [040729] Princess Soft
Horror suspense adventure game, set in 19th century London, England. Players take on the role of newspaper journalist William Doustin. Will is on the trail of a killer who is offing young ladies in the dark, foggy streets of England's metropolis -- a case emerges that resembles the infamous Jack the Ripper mystery to a tee. When Will meets such famous literary characters as Doctor Van Helsing and Dr. Moureau, it becomes clear that the supernatural has something to do with the goings-on. The game utilizes simple adventure game multi-choice navigation and conversation systems and features anime-style graphics that seem to belie its somber themes.
Story is quite solid as there are multiple deaths on our way to finding the murderer. The actual story is about trying to prevent murders and getting the same miserable results. There is a True route to try and actually fix things. The repeated grim development leaves quite a dark impression, but it's a good alternative to nakige and utsuge.
12. Kaiketsu! Osabakiina 解決！オサバキーナ [040729] KID 1
Osabakiina is a character from Japanese radio drama. You play as a newbie manager whose goal is to make Osabakina into a big idol. Game features interactive dialogue sequences where selection determines further development.
Wow, developing a game for oneself to voice looks kinda selfish. Quite a lively game full of gags. The content is messy and main decision is done on day 7. It's a cheap small game fully cleared in less than 10 hours.
13. Americano, Please! アメリカーノ、プリーズ！ [040730] Actress
Main character helps around coffee shop where his sister works. The cafe becomes popular, and he explores opportunity to work there full-time after graduation. One day he learns that his sister considers an invitation to take the manager position in the different prefecture thus breaking them apart...
Story is too bad and short here. It's basically a common week, then a date in the amusement park. The flow is the same for all the heroines. That basically strips heroines off their personality, because it's just work-work-work-date.
14. Izumo 2 [040730] Studio e.go! 1
Yagi Takeru is a student who goes to Izumo Academy. He has no family but he spends his days with his friends like Yamato Takeshi who is his bestfriend aswell as his rival in kendo, Shiratori Kotono and her sister, Asuka.
One day, an abrupt earthquake changed the school completely. The teachers and the students disappeared and the school was infested with monsters. Takeru managed to escape from the school, but he found all his friends and even his town were gone. Then suddently people wearing odd uniforms appeared.
Compared to prequel there is no story sequences about major characters this time, so heroines feel thin and story the same for everyone. RPG part is good, but limited to dungeons which is kind of lonely landscape.
15. Lamune ラムネ [040730] NekoNeko Soft
Summer nears, with the protagonist Tomosaka Kenji continuing to attend the local high school.
"Won't something finally happen this year", he thinks while feeling a somewhat throbbing sensation. At the same time a strange uneasiness grabs hold of him as summer vacation starts.... The various heroines he comes in contact with include his clumsy childhood friend Konoe Nanami, his energetic cousin Nakazato Hikari, his bright and honest little sister Suzuka and the earnest and duty-bound Isawa Tae-senpai.
There's no solid story, no special tilts, nothing to empathize ... so overall impression is weak. Game basically repeats Mizuiro structure - starts from childhood, we get to make a choice about heroine, then moves to modern time. Just one heroine stands out - the others get a really similar treatment.

Synopsis: When people die with hearts filled with negative feelings, they turn into 'ghosts', haunting the world. To send those souls to the other world, angels exist, using their guns to 'kill' them. You're playing one of such angels, Wim.
Game type: Eschatology dystopia action story
Character Design rating: 10/10
Protagonist rating: 10/10
Story rating: 9/10
Game quality: 9/10
Overall rating: 9/10
Rating comments: It was a perfect game for me during the whole common route. The second half was less fascinating, but it's still one of the best games I played.
Protagonist: Wim is mature and cool, but at the same time his consciousness is blank enough to be able to write any story. His earliest memory is white, and then he sees himself with wings and two guns beside same looking angels. He starts to hunt down ghosts of recently dead people just like everyone else. But as game unfolds, he starts to question his life...
Characters: All three heroines feel alive here. Two of them are siblings. Komaki is the older sister. She is a researcher obsessed with the angel theme. For some reason she sees angels. Fuuko is the younger sister. She can see angels as well. The first time she sees Vim, she asks to kill her. But Fuuko is also lying in coma at a hospital simultaneously... Henri is the only orthodox angel heroine. She has wings, gun and follows angel style of life without asking questions. She's tsundere'ish and hates all the ghosts of the dead people. But actually the most important character of the game is rapist and killer Jay. The whole story is based around him. Fuuko and Komaki are his blood sisters. Henri has shared memories with Jay to such an extent that Henri is stumbled every time she sees him. Assassin Issei is the father of Fuuko/Komaki/Jay. But the most cool character in the game is the oldest angel Peter. He witnessed the judgement day and afterwards taught Vim everything. By the genre's laws Peter is just destined to betray Vim at some point, but to my greatest surprise things are much more complicated here, and Peter becomes a most reliable partner.
Story: Actual story is quite complicated. 18 years ago children stopped to be born on the Earth. Most people go to work by inertia, but suicides become a common place, and streets are full of all kind of filth. Angels just patrol in search of recently dead souls - ghosts - and kill them with their guns. Game starts with a suicide and continues at a hospital with many deaths incoming. Two sisters can see angels, and in communication with them Vim starts to get interested in humans.
Thoughts:
1) Game poses a huge number of questions. Why there are people who can see angels? What's the identity and past of angels? Why only Vim and Jay have double guns? Why Fuuko wants to die and what's wrong with her other self in coma? What's so special in Jay? Is there a way for humanity to recover? Finding answers for all those questions is the most fascinating part of the game. But the mid-game we more or less find the answers, so second half full of action does not feel as exciting.
2) Game is organized in the same theater manner as Project-μ games, and considered the action nature of the game a strong presence of Gin no Hebi is felt. Such directing is superb in comparison with other normal games.
3) Unlike other Nitroplus games that I played, dialogues play bigger role here than action scenes. It looks like self-irony to me when Vim tries to explain why he kills ghosts of dead persons and does not try to resist. The only answer he finds is that "gun calls" him to do so. Nitroplus provides so many action scenes, because cool guns call them, but it's not always the case that story must be inferior.
Overall comments: It surprises me greatly how Angelos Armas got so little attention in the West. The Japanese reviews are more or less modest in their impressions, but I've learned it the hard way that the Japanese understand nothing in plotge. It's the best Nitroplus game that I've played so far, so I denounce all my accusation that Nitroplus can produce only stupid action games.
Foreword: I never expected a 80 hour long race out of this "episodic" story. How much time should pass till opening? What about length of the epilogue? Should there be some lines after the final credits? Believe me, Steel will surprise you with each answer. I knew that scenario from Kadokura Keisuke would be enjoyable. But it took me a full week to be able to digest it.

Though they were not related by blood, Tomoya treated the girls as if they were his siblings. They lived peaceful lives at the Honjou residence... but one day, he encountered a strange woman in town. She was wreathed in something that looked like iron – and upon seeing her figure, he remembered that he, too, had once harbored such a metallic augment.
"Is that... your Anima?"
A right arm turned to metal... A peculiar corpse discovered at school... A transfer student exuding dark mist... And a foreign warrior wreathed in thick steel armor... Tomoya's peaceful life would soon begin to crumble as disaster came to visit him and his sisters. To protect them, he shall have to once again wreathe his right arm in Anima.
Game type: Supernatural abilities chuuni story
Character Design rating: 8/10
Protagonist rating: 7/10
Story rating: 9/10
Game quality: 4/10
Overall rating: 7/10
Basics first. This is a story of a big and powerful Honjo clan. Main character Tomoya is an adopted child who lives in the family for the last five years. Only few families possess the anima ability to turn their body into weapons. They have rivals, but don't show their powers to the outsiders. Tomoya only starts to master his anima. That brings us to structure.
There are four chapters. Three first chapters have similar shape. Each of them is devoted to Honjo sisters and their anima - first Misaki, then Ayano, finally Iori. These three chapters have two endings each - initially the true one when the heroine comes off the stage in some way and then the side happy ending with each heroine. After each of four chapters there's a short explanatory chapter which is devoted mostly to past events and Honjo Alice heroine. The fourth chapter has only one ending and is devoted to the most mysterious heroine Nishinomiya Akizuki. It also covers most of the loose ends of the game. Epilogue chapter (with a small Final chapter which finalizes Explanatory Chapters) is very different from the other chapters and presents after-story for the different characters that remain on the stage up to the point.
Phew, with that covered - almost - without spoilers it's possible to go on. Story is thrilling, and text is really rich. Characters are quite developed despite having no voicing thanks to whole 15-hour long chapter devoted to each of them. What I liked the most is that there are very few SOL scenes. Protagonist Tomoya starts off pretty well with all his powers awakening gradually and evolving with more emotional experiences. But game really lacks a good conflict. There are some goons (including elite ones) from the rival family, but that's it. So in result Tomoya just does not have opportunity to actually fight since we constantly need to show battle prowess of our chapter heroines. Thus he gets from cool to passive losing charm. Due to the lack of conflict some fights happen even between heroines out of trifles. But on the other hand, some antagonists jump to the stage out of the blue. Momentum never gets lost.
Time to get back to story since it's the main flavor of the game. Each chapter is actually very different, so we can't stop being surprised. Misaki chapter is our straightforward nakige with personal drama and focus on the heroine alone. Ayano chapter suddenly changes focus from heroine to her anima. Iori chapter is totally different again since Iori actually can't fight. Maid Noriko has to fulfill that function, so Noriko actually gets her own ending as well. Third chapter also marks the main conflict of the game and uncovers Honjo clan secrets. Fourth chapter has the most straightforward conflict between main heroines Alice and Akizuki against their own antagonists. As for epilogue, it gives off too much of Clannad scent which is a great minus for such Clannad hater as me. Each chapter is named after anima name and explanatory chapters are called Shizoid because of the very different perspective presented.
The saddest part is graphical presentation and absence of voicing. That gives a huge penalty to the quality evaluation. I can't really imagine many persons to be able to read such a huge story with such poor presentation. But - on the other hand - how many real modern masterpieces are there without voicing? Can't really remember even one out of the blue. That's an enormous feat by itself.
Both Jingai Makyou and Ayakashibito deserve to be called masterpieces this month, and I'm reviewing both. But my personal preference goes towards the latter Ayakashibito
1. Rainy Town -Eien no Basho- Rainy Town -永遠の場所- [050603] Frau
Do you remember the promise made in the rain? One small hope may grow into something more...
Orthodox school romance. Main character is so useless that he leads a boring life waiting for a miraculous encounter with one of six heroines. Individual "routes" only take 30 minutes including all the voiced phrases. All of them follow the same mindless flow. A truly pathetic work for the full price that's asked.
2. Reimei no Lavendura 黎明のラヴェンデュラ [050603] Noa
Mankind has populated the entire galaxy. But as the need for military forces is decreased, a lot of military facilities are downgraded to training schools. Main character is the instructor of a girl training corps. Together they board the training space ship Lavendula and jump out into the space...
It's a royal road story primarily about robot battles. The conversations and action scenes are nice, but game's not worth purchasing for scenario or eroge purposes..
3. Seven -Sympathy for the Fairies- [050603] Active
Main character enters university. He possesses a power called "Phantom Vision" that allows to visually grasp feelings and emotions of others. One day he sees a beautiful girl followed by seven phantom beasts. The next time he sees the girl there are dead bodies found on the campus. Girl jumps at him from the window asking to help her flee from the chasing beings.
There is just one girl, but with seven personalities representing seven sins. Unfortunately, personalities matter little in the end, and game ends just after four hours.
4. Koi Q! ~Koi to H no Midareuchi~ 恋Q！～恋とHの乱れ射ち～ [050610] Meteor
An angel girl falls down from the sky begging for main character's cooperation. To become a full-fledged angel she needs to help protagonist fall in love with a girl. There are three candidates to bring happiness to.
Moege
5. Daibubokan ~Oshioki da Game~ ダイブボカン～おしおきだガメ～ [050617] Nyotai Kougaku Kenkyuujo
Main character is a part of disciplinary committee. He needs to catch and punish offender girls.
It only becomes a visual novel in H scenes.
6. Pastel Chime Continue ぱすてるチャイムContinue [050617] Alice Soft 1 2
10 years have passed after the episodes of Pastel Chime. Nagihara Yuuki is a transfer student from Private Farneze AS to Kouryou Academy in the Rubens continent. Dramatic encounters and reunions occur as he is transferred. As he spends every day at Kouryou Academy it will help him walk the earnest way of becoming a mature adventurer.
There is an English impression.
7. Kiri Kiri Mai きりきりまい [050618] Studio Ebisu
Main character is a college student who has a perfect lover, but only formally, for the looks. Three years pass this way, but one day protagonist gets really interested in a cheerful and calm girl. Who will he meet this Christmas with?
It's a cheap work with weak scenario, no voicing and small volume. It still manages to create a favorable atmosphere with the little resources it has.
8. Futakoi Alternative: Koi to Shoujo to Machinegun フタコイオルタナティブ 恋と少女とマシンガン [050623] Vridge Inc. 1 2
Futakoi Alternative tells the story of Rentarō Futaba and his detective agency. One day a set of twins, Sara and Sōju, show up at his doorstep. They move in with him and work as secretaries for his agency.
Game is based on anime events, so watching anime is a must to get into the setting that's not really explained. Routes vary greatly in quality. Game actually turns in the way of moege rather than presenting a solid scenario.
9. Ayakashibito あやかしびと [050624] Propeller 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
In face of human technological advancement during the Meiji Restoration, the youkai of Japan were forced to make a hard decision:
1) To remain as youkai and watch over the land 2) To return to the netherworld 3) To give up their power and status as youkai and live amongst humans. While there were some that chose otherwise, the majority of the youkai decided it was best to become human. It was tough, but as time passed these youkai were able to blend in with the human world and live peacefully amongst them. However, blood is thicker than water. The offspring of these youkai displayed the powerful abilities of their ancestors in times of great anxiety, often manifesting in horrible and dangerous ways, and were labeled by society as monsters. Officially their condition was named "Acquired Systemic Special Heredity variety Syndrome", or "ASSHS" for short and treated as a non-contagious illness, but the common people began to refer to them as Jinyous (half-youkai) nevertheless. Of these Jinyous, most were sent to Kamizawa City: an isolated urban area walled off from the rest of Japan to keep all the Jinyous together and away from the human population. However, the ones that were deemed especially dangerous were sent to a medical facility on an uncharted island near the shores of Japan where they would be under constant surveillance. Takabe Ryouichi was one of those who were sent to said island at the age of five. This is a story about him along with the girl called Suzu, his only friend on the island, escaping to Kamizawa city to live a normal life. What they didn’t expect was that Suzu carried a secret that attracted much unwanted attention…
Somehow I failed to find video playthrough of this game, so I'm up for it.
10. Jingai Makyou 塵骸魔京 [050624] Nitroplus 1 2 3 4 5 6
The main character is a Japanese college student, who lost his parents in an accident and since then has been cared for by his landlady. He has a strange set of eyes, with one green eye and one red eye. His little sister Megumi, goes to boarding school in England, but still comes back to visit him from time to time. His best friend Ryou has always been supportive of the main character and has stuck by him through thick and thin. Still the main character is an unusual person for he has strange dreams in his sleep, seeing visions of a beautiful black haired maiden with a black umbrella, who speaks to him in his dreams. This begins to become more prevalent when he starts seeing her in the waking world, and does not understand what is happening to him. This leads him on a path to discovering the existence of the Narazaru and playing a vital role that will either save the world or lead it on the path of destruction.
I'm going to review it myself.
11. Majokko a la Mode II ~Hikari to Yami no Etranger~ 魔女っ娘ア・ラ・モードII～光と闇のエトランゼ～ [050624] F&C 1
Story takes place in Twinkle City long before the foundation of Mint Kingdom. Main character Lyle is an apprentice wizard who is currently training at the Magical Academy. He spends days peacefully with his girlfriend Jessica. One day a mysterious girl appears in front of him, and strange events start to pile up. Protagonist gathers girls to repel the invading monsters.
Game genre suddenly jumps to RPG which brings repeatability in order to capture all three heroines. There are funny dialogues and jokes, but actual romance is lacking.
12. Ouka 桜華 [050624] Carriere 1 2
The last descendant of a line of mystical protectors, Yuuya Furusaka has received the twin blessing of Life and Death, and now his touch has the power to save lifes or destroy them, although at the price of, respectively, his own life or his own soul.
But maybe the key for his salvation is hidden in one of the girls around him... Officially released as a remake of Shinkirou, Ouka is more an alternative version than a real remake. Not only the artwork and the musics are entirely redone, the original story too has been vastly expanded (and often modified), and also includes new routes, new characters and new winnable heroines.

15. Sotsugyou ~Next Graduation~ 卒業 〜Next Graduation〜 [050624] Wonderfarm

Foreword: This is a formal shameless review just to present a video and give score / personal impression. There is an abundance of reviews of this game in untranslated review sources (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8), and I did not even include reviews in the translated review sources.

Synopsis: In face of human technological advancement during the Meiji Restoration, the youkai of Japan were forced to make a hard decision:
1) To remain as youkai and watch over the land
2) To return to the netherworld
3) To give up their power and status as youkai and live amongst humans.
While there were some that chose otherwise, the majority of the youkai decided it was best to become human. It was tough, but as time passed these youkai were able to blend in with the human world and live peacefully amongst them.
However, blood is thicker than water. The offspring of these youkai displayed the powerful abilities of their ancestors in times of great anxiety, often manifesting in horrible and dangerous ways, and were labeled by society as monsters.
Officially their condition was named "Acquired Systemic Special Heredity variety Syndrome", or "ASSHS" for short and treated as a non-contagious illness, but the common people began to refer to them as Jinyous (half-youkai) nevertheless.
Of these Jinyous, most were sent to Kamizawa City: an isolated urban area walled off from the rest of Japan to keep all the Jinyous together and away from the human population. However, the ones that were deemed especially dangerous were sent to a medical facility on an uncharted island near the shores of Japan where they would be under constant surveillance.
Takabe Ryouichi was one of those who were sent to said island at the age of five. This is a story about him along with the girl called Suzu, his only friend on the island, escaping to Kamizawa city to live a normal life. What they didn’t expect was that Suzu carried a secret that attracted much unwanted attention…

Game quality: 10/10
Overall rating: 8/10
I won't be original here. Game is a firm masterpiece with great action, funny SOL scenes and just perfect quality overall. But different people find different parts faulty. Some people blame protagonist Soushichi, but I actually like him a lot. He is really funny and human-like in conversations. Heroines are the main flavor of the game. They all are really well developed, and pretty much every one of them has fighting capabilities. Each route has a distinctive individuality.
Other people did not like story resolution, but - again - everything felt natural, don't see much of a problem here. My complaint is much more profound. I do not see an interesting story here at all. On a grand scale absolutely nothing happens. There is no intrigue. Basically we get to know from synopsis that Takabe Ryouichi escapes from a clinic for youkai and is searched by the organization controlling this clinic. So what happens during the course of the game? Organization goons finally find Takabe after a few years which is followed by confrontation. That's it. Where the hell is multiple route mystery featured among vndb tags? There is absolutely no need to play different routes to get the whole mystery picture, because there is no mystery. Yes, we have different girls as allies in different routes, and different sources of power are discovered to fight back. But that's not a mystery. There are even no big twists.
Ayakashibito is a great game, but its strength is not in depth and mystery. It's in width and details. The story is developed by constantly adding new characters and presenting their backgrounds and sometimes even small stories in great detail. I absolutely like writing, pacing and all. It's an enjoyable reading, but whenever I try to rationalize - why I keep reading - I can't find the answer, and overall evaluation degrades because of that. Ayakashibito remains a game about girls and their magnificent routes. Personally, I hoped for more mystery and twists.
Swan Song is the only masterpiece of the month. Things may change as I review Tashika ni Kimi wa Koko ni Ita -You were certainly here- .
1. Moero Downhill Night -Touge Saisoku Densetsu- 萌えろダウンヒルナイト -峠最速伝説- [050701] TOP 1 2 3
My name is Daichi Shou, and I'm nothing special. I tell my folks back at home that I'm a big shot, but I'm really just working a part time job delivering soba (buckwheat noodles) for a shop on the Himeda mountain ridge - I drive the route morning and evening, live in my simple apartment and banish all thoughts of fame or glory from my mind.
But all that changed suddenly when one day on my route I got into an accident, fell unconscious and when I woke up I was in the passenger seat of a taxi driven by a beautiful girl! I didn't remember the details, but it seems I'd lost memory of what happened earlier and she thought I was a genius racing navigator... She said her name was Michi, and she was so cute I couldn't help but go along with her case of mistaken identity. With my advice her driving skills became top notch, and attracted competition from around the country and beyond. With beautiful girls flocking to race for my attention, which one will I choose to guide to victory?!

2. Shikigami 色紙 [050701] Catarite
Main character is an occult enthusiast. He finds three types of bills in his old warehouse - red, blue and green. In an attempt to defend school from a mysterious beast he learns that these bills can to summon shikigami. Each of spirits appears in the form of a girl and demands a part of protagonist as payment. Body fluid also suffices, so his sex life becomes much more diverse.
Basically, game is built with three scenarios each of just about an hour length and following the same flow - incident->search->battle->H scene. Text is entertaining enough, but not to the point to recommend this game to anyone.

5. Underbar Summer _summer [050715] Hooksoft
Takumi Kaizu is a normal high school student enjoying his final year in school with the rest of his friends. Over the years, he has made good memories with these friends of his, most of whom are girls, though apparently still have no overt feelings of attraction towards any of them. When asked by his best male friend Osamu Funada if he likes anyone, Takumi starts to think about it though is still confused on what to do next. With his last summer in high school quickly approaching, Takumi decides to find someone to like by the end of summer vacation.
It's a pure love school romcom. Plot is so mundane that of course there is an attempt to introduce some revolutionary element. This time it's timed choices with three additional factors - fast answer, late answer, no answer. Production is weak, and no excitement is felt. There are characters who manage to joke well. Only main heroine gets a preferential treatment by scenario writers, others are just plain boring.
6. MEDICAL91 [050721] Takuyo
Set in the near future, you find yourself in a world of advanced robot and computer technology. The government has forbidden the practice of making robots have emotions. You play as Yuna, an android who was programmed with emotions by a young, genius scientist. The story begins as you're sent off to work as an intern nurse at a hospital as part of an experiment to see how well you can blend into society. There, you'll encounter a number of characters and events. As you work your way through the game, your true villain will come to light: the secret police who seek out all robots that display a trace of emotion.
Almost totally forgotten command selection is used which hurts tempo a lot and encourages command brute-forcing. Flagging is very difficult to understand since there are four floors to investigate for two weeks time. Story is good, but too short considered all the pain with flagging.
7. Gyakutama 2 ぎゃくたま2 [050722] Discovery
Prestigious private girl school has launched co-education program. Main character is a golden boy who learns one day that his father's company undergoes bankruptcy. If huge amount of money is not found within a month, family is going to be deprived of its house and pride. Protagonist decides to collect the money with the help of rich girls in his school while no one knows about his problems.
Majority of heroines here are daughters of prequel heroines, so old acquaintances feature as mothers. The fast pace and puns are still here, so it's a very faithful sequel. The whole concept is curious, because it's rare to see a game that does not care about romance or love. Just give me the money!

Well, I adore all the MMORPG / Isekai theme works. Two such games in one month is a real present for me. Seven Online Gamers ~Offline~ is a more known one, and I actually played it already in the past, so please enjoy other people's reviews on it. But Tashika ni Kimi wa Koko ni Ita is much more obscure since cover has such ordinary galge looks apart of featuring notebooks. Well, I'm reviewing this curious thing.
10. White Clarity [050722] Actress 1
White Clarity tells the story of Yuu, who resides in a mansion far from city lights. One day, Yuu discovers a young girl called Rino living in the basement of the mansion....
Yuu comes from an orphanage himself, so he takes Rino story personally. To see Rino ending it's needed to clear all the other heroines which is a difficult task with such a huge number of options. Story feels like a good picture book and is fascinating if there is enough time.

12. As you like ~Hoshi Furu Yoru ni Romance o~ As you like～星降る夜にロマンスを～ [050729] Nail
Our protagonist Ninomiya Daigo attends Aoba Academy, where his childhood friend Kana was recently appointed as the new English teacher after finishing university in another city. However, Kana moves to Daigo's house to some reason and she's completely unable to do any housework, so it's up to Daigo to take care of her! However, Daigo does his best in order to make her fall with him and answer his confession in the next Tanabata festival.
However, future nurse Michiru Kaido also moves into Daigo's house, and she seems particularly interested in Kana and Daigo's relationship...
The first half is quite bright and good paced. The second "rainy" half is more serious and a bit forced. Quality varies greatly for different routes.

Erobomb beast comes to the Earth to explode it like many stars before. Space police girl Mariaria Sakurada follows the trail of the culprit which leads to an ordinary school where main character Souma Tadasuke studies with his many friends. This school never encountered that much chaos!
I hesitated a low whether to block it or not as nukige, but absurd comedy part prevented me from that. The style is of old hentai manga, and humor actually feels really old as well, somewhat similar to Liar Soft early works.
14. Shoujo Mahou Gaku Little Witch Romanesque 少女魔法学 リトルウィッチロマネスク [050729] Littlewitch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Deardrops and Comsome! ~Combination Somebody~ make the only masterpieces for me in June. And first one is more polished. Micchi for once agrees with me although anticipating even more from Angel Ring.

Shouichi was known as one of the ‘nobles’ of the violin world. Having started playing the violin when he was 3, he won the national violin competition when he was in middle school and went to Germany to play in orchestras. However, due to unknown reasons, he returned to Japan, gave up playing the violin and became a freeter. One day, he starts working at a live house and meets many other amateur musicians who are living their lives their own way. Together they will have to overcome obstacles in both their personal lives and as a band. To Shouichi, the live house is a new beginning in a new place… a new world which has opened to him when he thought that his future as a musician had closed.

Sousuke is your standard guy going to a normal school along with the typical cast of characters: the childhood friend living next door, the cute loli, the blonde twintail tsundere, the bespectacled discipline committee member… This couldn’t be anything but a slapstick school love comedy… until a girl with long black hair appeared. “I want to cry too…” Even though Hikaru is very strong, she is also weak at the same time. Everyone else is the same way – they are fragile when they are alone. That is why they seek bonding with others.

"Life is like a waiting room, except people don't leave in the order they enter."
Japan in the 1970s. Before the first hospices were established in the country. A boy grows up helping the family business, a senior citizen's home.
Regularly skipping school to help at home, he gets left behind a year in school.
One day, he meets a girl that had also been left back, and they become friends.

About the wall between those leaving, and those left behind.
It is about the origins of the Seventh Floor hospice.
And finally, the origins of "the rules".

4. Ama Ane あまあね [100625] PeasSoft
Daisuke attends Touka Gakuen in Miou-jima, a small town which is an 1-hour ferry ride from Tokyo. He is great at housework and studying, but because of his scary looks, people mistakingly think he is the worst deliquent. He works as the caretaker of the Yashima-sou school dorms where his two older sisters Otome and Megumi live. They know he is an earnest and kind person. One day, he receives notice from the school that Yashima-sou will be torn down.
Despite the allusive setting, main character does not attack girls, but dutifully patrols dormitory. Band performance is organized as a mini-game, but has no influence for the story. It's even possible to finish the game without the girl if by the time of final even none is flagged. So it's again rather interesting common route and disappointing individual routes (especially due to weird drawing at times).
5. Angel Ring [100625] Moonstone 1 2
Satoru likes the 2D world and loves 2D girls. One day, he took care of a weakened pure white dove. When he woke up the next day, a beautiful girl who he didn’t know was hugging him. Not only that, but she was naked. His imouto Sana comes to wake him up:
“Hey aniki, hurry and get u- ehhhh!!?＃！※‡？々♂☆♀!!?”
The game is based around two concepts: ‘love angel’ and ‘angel ring’. Love angels come from heaven to support love between people. They don’t have any special abilities except for flying. They feel a great sense of responsibility towards 2D maniacs like Satoru. If there is someone who loves someone else, but doesn’t have the courage to take the next step, the ‘angel ring’ floating around the love angel’s neck will begin to glow. It helps the love angel realize people’s feelings.

7. Bokura wa Piacere ボクラはピアチェーレ [100625] ad:lib
This is the debut title from ad:lib. Masamichi was raised by his father who is a shrine priest. On the night of the day he began attending Souei private school, someone snuck into the shrine grounds. He thought that it was a thief, but it was actually Sakura, a girl who he had seen singing earlier in the day for the light music club. Her dad had left the family entrenched in debt, so she ended up homeless and came to the shrine to find a place to sleep. Having heard her troubles, Masamichi allows her to live with him.
K-On club has different outdoors activities with band itself as a side hobby due to recent light music boom. And for the same reason game stylized for anime. Scenario is very boring because nothing interesting is happening, even moe level is low. Compared to Deardrops there's very low focus for music. Another debut work that tries to ride the wave without investing in scenario.
8. Can Fes! ~Itazura Majo to Naisho no Gakuensai~ きゃん☆フェス！～いたずら魔女とナイショの学園祭～ [100625] Pumpkin Soft
When the protagonist was small, he took care of a lost witch who would not show her anger even if she was teased. She didn”t talk much, but occasionally said “If I get my powers back…” One day she disappeared. Ten years later, the witch Prim comes back and declares that he will now be her servant!
A normal moege. At some point you just decide who to protect since you can't protect everyone.
9. Comsome! ~Combination Somebody~ こんそめ！ ～combination somebody～ [100625] Silver Bullet 1
The protagonist Kyoutarou transferred to "Senshu school" to catch up with his deceased aunt - a troublemaker, infamous for her anti-social and destructive activities. Kyoutarou's objective is to find his sister, who mysteriously disappeared about ten years ago.
One day, he finds a girl that's caught in trouble with some ruffian. He helps her escape and treats her a meal, but in exchange she steals his bag and runs away while he is in the washroom.
A few days later, she came to his house and said she was his sister. Obvious lie, but she had his aunt's business card. He allowed her to live in his house, believing that it was sort of a sign.
A traumatic memory for me since this game had huge number of choices and without walkthrough I faced gameover too many times before giving up. But it's mysterious Silver Bullet brand and Hino Wataru who brought us Rui wa Tomo o Yobu and Coμ , so miracles happen even to ordinary school setting. Things start to surprise from the start as opening and style is done in 8-bit RPG flavor as a battle against maou. There are a lot of fighting heroines. And "comsome" is actually a finished dish in french... But generally it's about a circle of friends, and their help is required to achieve the goal. Everyday scenes are a pain to read. A nuclear and unrefined mix, but with strong sense of individuality. It's not Ruitomo by shreer quality, but absence of trap protagonist and RPG-affinity makes this game special for me.
10. Dual M -Sora no Kioku- デュアル・エム ―空の記憶― [100625] Abel Software
Mika and Loki run a VA detective agency at Chesterland School, the Japanese branch of a British school for foreigners. Of course since they’re amateurs, they don’t get many cases. However, Mika is a psychometrist, able to understand the past of someone or something just by touching them. It comes at a price though. If used on a human, the target will lose all their memories related to him. Due to a past incident, his mother has lost all memories of him and so he now always wears a glove on his hand. One day, Loki read about a story about the murder of the owner of the club Couples Apples in the newspaper and wanted Mika to try to solve the case, but he is hesitant since he doesn’t want to use his power. Then, he was approached by two girls who say they are being threatened and want him to stop the culprit.
Abel Software must be desperate to even pollute detective setting they are probably best known for. Basically, it's four detective episodes with some H scenes. Protagonist has supernatural powers, so it's not great as a mysery.
11. Okitsune-sama no Koisuru Omajinai おキツネ様の恋するおまじない [100625] chorus
Yasuto confessed his love to the school idol Kyouka, but not having talked to her at all before, not surprisingly she said no. Broken-hearted, he went to the shrine where he had prayed constantly before the confession and cursed the god, calling them a liar. A darkness surrounds him and a large white fox appears. He apologizes profusely, but she sends tons of snakes after him as retribution. Evading the snakes by climbing a nearby tree, he thought he was safe until he heard a creaking noise. Then, suddenly the tree fell on the shrine, which was demolished. Fleeing to his house, he was surprised to find a miko with beautiful pale hair in front of him, angry that he had destroyed her shrine.
Lousy debut work. It looks like a nakige, but scenario is too short, so nothing even has a single chance to develop. Let's just pull minimum number of heroines together - four - and make it full price. Heroines other than kitsune are hardly noticeable.

The player takes the role of Mochizuki Tomoya, a guy that lives on his own with only a day job at a convenience store keeping him afloat. While he really likes eroge, he can't draw, isn't much of a writer or composer, and doesn't know much about business. Still, his dream is to get a job at an eroge studio in hopes of creating what he loves, eroge.
Tomoya's luck takes a turn for the better when he sees a help wanted ad for the local studio Flower, and after a meeting with the company president (who to his surprise looks like an elementary school kid), manages to get a job as administrator of the company's website. Tomoya's glee at being part of the eroge industry is short-lived, as he soon learns that Flower is on the chopping block due to their first title being a massive failure.
After playing through Flower's first title, Tomoya realizes that his co-workers don't know anything about eroge, lacking the insight and understanding needed to make a good game.
