    VN of the Month 2017
    Clephas chose nothing for this month. But if we add console releases, Tsuihou Senkyo is good and original enough to be called VN of the Month even though I tend to dislike survival games. Micchi expectedly fell for Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 & 2 and 9-nine- Kokonotsu Kokonoka Kokonoiro , while Zen favors Niizuma LOVELY×CATION and delayed titles.  
    1. Song of Memories [170427] Pure Wish 1 2 The game involves a mysterious virus that only infects women. In this world, the infected begin their invasion as a “new breed of humans.” The story revolves around the protagonist and the game’s heroine, a woman who harbors suspicions about the nature of the infection. There is an English review  
    2. Tsuihou Senkyo 追放選挙 [170427] Nippon Ichi Software 1 2 The game takes places in an abandoned amusement park. The game's characters are trapped within the park, with the outside world being in a post-apocalyptic wasteland infested with murderous monsters. Within the park, the game's thirteen main characters are held captive by a mysterious mechanical doll named "Alice", who holds the "death games", which basically force the characters against each other for survival - the losers being exiled back out into the world. Alice refuses to stop the games until only two characters are alive and present. The game's protagonist is Kaname Ichijou, a young man who has the ability to see sound as colors, and sees spoken falsehoods in the color of red. He also harbors a grudge against most of the rest of the characters of the game for allowing the exile of his little sister. There is an English review  
    3. 9 -Nine- Kokonotsu Kokonoka Kokonoiro 9-nine-ここのつここのかここのいろ [170428] Palette 1 2 3 4 5 ― Shiromitsukawa A city that other than being a academic town, doesn't have any special characteristic. There has been some attempts at revitalization in order to attract tourists, but it achieved no success. However, for an unexpected reason the city began to gather the people's attention. Niimi Kakeru is a boy that despite the hasty attitude, has a strong sense of responsibility. He seems to be an ordinary student with a kind personality, but after a sacred treasure of a certain temple got damaged, an unusual power woke up on some youths including him. He was supposed to be an ordinary student living in an ordinary town, but... Now the young ones are involved in this mysterious fate. There are English reviews  
    4. Hatsukoi * Syndrome 初恋*シンドローム [170428] Campus 1  Everyone says that your first love never comes true. Yuuto thinks that it is indeed true since he, like most others around him, had lost his first love. But unlike the others, his broken heart has still not healed to this day. Looking at the watch that his first love Haruka had gave to him as a present, he decided that he will finally move on from the past. He resolved to bury the watch under the giant cherry blossom tree on the school grounds, which is said to be seen as being in full bloom by those who are in love, and cut loose from his past regrets. However, there was a girl wearing an unfamiliar school uniform who had arrived there before him, looking up at the cherry blossom tree. Lunalight noticed him and asked him a question while smiling: “Do you want to fall in love?” The magician-in-training Lunalight wished to experience first love and also breaking up, in order to understand love and become a full-fledged magician. It was a fateful first meeting for Yuuto, who was still bound by his first love. He would also be reunited with the girl from his past, who had given up her first love to become a magician. What will become of the futures of these three, who are held captive by first love? There is an English review  
    5. Niizuma Lovely x Cation 新妻LOVELY×CATION [170428] Hibiki Works 1 2 It’s been a year since Hibiki started working in beautiful Sakuragi, a city of four seasons. He’s gotten used to his new life and everything is smooth sailing, but he started to think about his future when his close friend got married. He realized that marriage was something that doesn’t just happen one day, but it is the culmination of ‘everyday’ actions over a long period. Having made up his mind, before long he fell in love with a girl. It was the first step towards a happy marriage. There is an English impression  
    BLOCKED   1. D.S. i.F. -Dal Segno- in Future D.S. i.F. -Dal Segno- in Future [170428] Circus During the winter, Atsuya and his friends received an invitation letter from the island’s manager Ame, who was supposed to have disappeared. “Let’s meet again at the village where snow falls and the fireflies fly” Travelling to the snow-bound onsen town where the ‘snow fireflies’ are said to dwell, they were greeted by the new manager Kanade, along with fireflies dancing about in the falling snow. It was actually an event organized by the Amakase Research Institute to thank them for taking good care of Ame and the fireflies are actually man-made fairies. Then, the true fireflies actually appeared during the night with a full moon. In the midst of the fantastic scene, Ame reappeared before them once more. Is it another artifical event or is it a miracle for this night only? Fandisc   2. Grisaia: Phantom Trigger グリザイア:ファントムトリガー [170428] Frontwing 1 2 3 4 5 Following the Heath Oslo incident, the existence of the US-Japanese anti-terror organization CIRS has become a matter of public knowledge. CIRS has been rebuilt from the ground up, and its most covert functions spun off to a new agency: SORD (Social Ops, Research & Development). The goal of SORD is to train a new generation of operatives to defend the country against future threats. To that end, the organization has established a series of schools up and down the country. Mihama Academy, more-or-less left to rot after its abrupt closure, has been given new purpose as one such 'specialist training school'. This new incarnation of Mihama Academy is home to a diverse group of students, who every day work to polish their unusual skills - sometimes on the job. Mihama now entrusts the misfit girls who attend it with guns and live ammunition. Paying their own safety no heed, these students are again and again plunged into dangerous extrajudicial missions - all for the good of the realm. "We've been granted a place in the world. That alone isn't enough - there wouldn't be any meaning in living, if that was all we had... It's not enough just to get by on the backs of others. I live by my own strength, and I fight to survive. Because only the survivors among us belong with the living..." No matter how much life grinds them down, what future awaits these girls, who've themselves chosen the path of the gun? Fandisc   3. Majo to Tsurugi to Sen no Tsuki 魔女と剣と千の月 [170428] Kai 1 2 3  This game takes place after the events of PENDULUM. Peace seemed to have been returned to the world with the decrease in the remaining number of circulars. However, one day the pure white circulars suddenly turned into pitch-black demons who have a increased penchant for destruction. These ‘evilised’ spread all over the world in an instant. The Magus Order continued to fight on the front line, but they were being overwhelmed by the power of the evilised. In the midst of battle, Ren was turned into a circular due to the great magic power and was going to ‘evolve’ into an evilised until Sayaka was able to seal him in suspended animation. However, they would eventually have to fight against this immense power in the future. As a last resort, Sayaka decided to create the homunculus Rei using a part of Ren’s soul and hidden magic powers to fight against the evilised. Nukige with English reviews   4. Tayutama 2 -After Stories- タユタマ2-After Stories- [170428] Lump of Sugar 1
    Takachiho-shi Yakotami-chou is a particularly powerful spiritual spot where humans and Tayutai work hard to coexist in harmony. There is a festival there called the Jintaisai which started naturally from their mutual expressions of gratitude. The Tayutai would create a gift using their powers and give it to the one that the human that they live with and love; in return, the human would share his own spiritual energy with the Tayutai. However, there was an incident at this year’s festival. It was one that no one could’ve imagined.

    Hikari no Umi no Apeiria is the only masterpiece in July 2017. Clephas also thought so. Micchi on the other hand finds Hatsujou Sprinkle , Shin Koihime†Musou -Kakumei- Souten no Haou and O-uchi ni Kaeru Made ga Marshmallow Desu to be worthy.  
    1. Aoiro Note アオイロノート [170728] ad:lib Takuya entered Shikizaka Gakuen this spring. One day after school, he saw his classmate Misora inconspicuously putting up a club recruitment poster in the empty school building. With a cool aura and seemingly hard to approach, the beautiful Misora was the talk of the class since the first day. However, she is actually quite shy and the image that had been forced upon her had resulted in her becoming isolated from the rest of the class. So, she thought to create a club to make some friends and break free from her current lonely situation. Takuya couldn’t leave her after knowing the circumstances, so he decided to help out achieve the school life that she yearned for. Feels very similar to original Aoiro. Weak scenario-wise even though if differs from ordinary moege .  
    2. Choukou Shinki Ixseal 超昂神騎エクシール [170728] Alice Soft 1 2 Protagonist Tsuguhiko Oudou is the reincarnation of the demon king. He lived his life as a normal student among human society while waiting for his chance to reinstate his position as demon king and rule over the world. On the appointed day however, he is attacked by Ixseal, a knight from the God’s side. He manages to escape, but is then immediately betrayed by his subordinate Bezel. Meaning that in the end he is left with just one power, the power of “lust”. Bezel also manages to trap Ixseal on earth, away from her allies. Tsuguhiko and Ixseal then decide to team up and form a joint front against Bezel and his army of demons. But the only way to defeat these strong demons is to provide Ixseal with more power. And since the power of lust is the only one left for Tsuguhiko, you can guess where this is going. RPG has an English review  
    3. Fuyu Uso -Snow World End- フユウソ -Snow World End- [170728] Campus 1 2 It follows the scenario of what happens at Mahoshi Gakuen if the magic contract didn’t end up in Satsuki’s hands, Souichirou had protected Aoi from being taken over by the succubus, and Eris didn’t find what she was looking for with Shizuku. Everyone lies, whether it be to protect, to deny, to misrepresent, or to keep things unchanged. In spring, Souichirou met Satsuki for the first time and she shortly thereafter was welcomed as a new club member. In summer, he was busy preparing for the Mahoshi festival with Aoi and the student council. In autumn, he was caught up in some trouble involving his longtime friend Eris. Then came today, the first day of snow. He didn’t know the reason, but he could tell that it was a lie. Even though he always found it hard to deal with her… Even though he thought that their paths would never cross… Even though it seemed that he must not reach for her… — he could not betray his true feelings. “I love you, Teidou-senpai. Please go out with me.” It was the beginning of a story about the snow world end. There is an English review

After the team’s eventual loss and the end of his playing career, he lost sight of his goal in life, and instead just killed time at the game center every day. He also gave up on love, believing that the girl he’s interested in, Natsumi, did not feel the same way about him. On the way to the game center after school one day, he met a girl, Yuki, who looked exactly like Natsumi. It felt like he had met her before even though it should be their first time seeing each other. She suddenly told him: “I will support your love.” And so the time which had stopped for Yuuya and Yuki began to move once more... There are English reviews

    VN of the Month 2017
    Kinda forgot to post May. ChronoBox made the day for me with Ojou-sama no Hanbun wa Ren'ai de Dekiteimasu!  and Newton to Ringo no Ki as other masterpieces. Clephas had the second one in mind for the winner. Micchi adds such titles as Anata ni Koisuru Ren’ai Recette and Nekopara nukige

Unfortunately, he got caught in a cave-in and ended up lost. As he wandered, he came across a girl, sleeping inside a magic stone, Fia. After waking up, Fia told him that she has no memory of herself; however, she knows that she is unmistakably a Goddess. Continuing, she tells Avaro that she could, if she wanted to, move the entirety of the ruins with her Godly powers, and she points out that she has to, no matter what, make it to the closed-off holy ground of the Kingdom. The "Mist Corridor of the Sacred Sound." Fia, who has said nothing but what could only be nonsense so far, invites Avaro to join her on her journey, saying that he can use these ruins as his workshop however he likes if he does. Although doubtful, Avaro accepts her conditions and becomes the apostle of the self-proclaimed Goddess, and while using the moving ruins as his atelier, they head north. Before long, rumors of the ‘Gualacuna Fortress’ are spread across the country, and while fighting anyone who comes after the fortress, thinking that it has valuables or is a threat, Avaro searches for the truth related to the Goddess’ memories.

I came up with something that might be incredibly ground-breaking, you know!?" It was at the moment our main couple travelled through time, right then and there, that Newton discovered universal gravitation! And just like that, through Syuji's witless conduct, the great scientific discoveries of that century had all crumbled to ashes. What's more, like the domino effect, this would gradually end up altering key points in history. It is now sometime during the 17th century!

    7. Hoshi Furu Yoru no Farnese 星降る夜のファルネーゼ [170929] Miti 1 2 There once was a ‘good witch’ who used magic to bring prosperity to the world.

With the powerful and wise ‘good witch’ no longer around, the ‘bad witch’ was free to do as she pleased. The people suffered as she brought on fires and floods, destroying and corrupting everything she touched. They managed to kill her too and vowed to forget about magic, but she had cast a curse upon the world: witches will continue to exist in the world. Thus began a hunt for the ‘witches’ with the intent on exterminating them all. This is the beginning of the ‘star hunt’, which has continued for hundreds of years. Etoile stood in the middle of a church in the capital, nervously awaiting the opening of a ‘star hunt’ trial. He was a new ‘astrologer’, an equivalent to a lawyer, tasked with defending a client for the first time. He was barely able to prove her innocence, although he hadn’t been able to find the true culprit. Afterwards, a witch with a dog familiar suddenly appeared in front of him. She called herself the ‘Witch of Justice’ and offered to assist him. It is up to them to take back the ‘starry sky’! The premise of the game is to regain the ‘starry sky’ which was lost because of the bad witch. You have to collect evidence to prove the innocence of your clients during the witch hunt. Along the way, you’ll find who the culprits (bad witches) are and defeat them to gradually regain the ‘constellations’. As you complete more cases, you’ll begin to see a link between the cases . The evidence can found by searching places of interest, while the actual ‘star hunt’ involves stripping them by countering their lies and revealing the witch’s seal (constellation) on their bodies. To draw out the seal from their bodies, you must bring them to ‘ecstasy’. There is an English review

The much-admired Cerea could not convey her feelings in words to the one she truly loves. Once she falls in true love, she cannot relay her feelings in words towards the one she loves no matter how she tries. Even while hiding their own worries, they longed to be loved by him. Scenario is non-existing here, but instead of ordinary moege development, game actually makes it an... elegant moege. It's all about spells, knights, books and princesses, true love. Atmospheric, but without a story not worth it for me.

He always went to watch her gaze lonelily into the distance from the tall tower and nicknamed her Rapunzel after the princess from the fairy tale. They did not talk to each other, and only verified each other’s presence each day. This daily routine changed when her father allowed her to go outside for the first time. When she was walking around taking in her brand new surroundings, a speeding truck headed straight for her. Luckily, Touma was able to save her just in time.

While they didn’t get along at first, they became close before they knew it. One day, both of their parents passed away in an accident. They were both left without any relatives, and Ruri had only just entered elementary school. After much agonizing, he chose to live together with her. NekoNeko continues with its lolicon mania, and this time main heroine imouto is a loli. I'm not touching this lolige, but what I get from impressions is that main imouto route turns into a nakige, and two side heroines aren't memorable on a big scale.   9. Tsugihagi Make Peace - Pretending x Friendship - ツギハギめいくぴーす!-pretending×friendship- [171027] Curefull Base Yuuto was called out to the school rooftop by the student council leader Ayase after school. All five students who gathered there had a common trait: they had no friends. She asked them to pretend to be friends. She admitted that it was an outrageous request, but it was to help them build interpersonal skills so that they won’t still be alone after they graduated. Using her powers as the student council leader and persuasion skills, Ayase convinced all of them to participate in the trial. “It’s fine if it’s just pretending. Well, it’ll work out because it’s not real. It’s not like we could make any real friends anyway.” A normal clumsy youth story of strangers getting into friends and then into lovers. Countless events are poured in, but these events feel disjointed from each other and done halfway. Individual endings are substantially shorter than common route and with half of those occupied by H events, heroines' individuality is hurt.

These events took place in the city of Doronium that was located in Gernia province, which bordered the territories of the minotaur tribes near the norther part of the empire. The man named Canecone, a member of the city council, had recently acquired a new slave, Paia. On her first work day, while the girl was looking for mushrooms, she stepped on Medusa's sacred grounds and was cursed by the goddess. Paia's hair and legs turned to snakes, which brought calamity upon Doronium. When the girl entered the city's amphitheater, the gladiators and the guards were petrified, causing panic among the spectators. The top officials of the city: the duumviri and the city council members called an augur to divine how to defeat the monster, but ultimately could not come up with a good plan. In the meantime, the trees around the amphitheater began turning to stone. And while the petrifying wave was slowly consuming the city, believers of the Church of Holy Rood preached that it was divine punishment for the Romans' self-indulgence. Finally, the members of the city council turned to the famous sibyl Zoe for help. The plan proposed by Zoe was to summon a close friend of Medusa, Julinas, who was the lowest and most obscure god in the Underworld. To conduct the ritual, the council members called the most gorgeous women in Doronium: Destra and Escelda. Perhaps because of their help, the obscure god Julinas descended to the human world. And when he found out that it was a senior slave who told Paia to trespass on Medusa's sacred grounds, he lifted the curse. Later, Destra and Escelda offered Julinas the gift of Venus for the first time in his 500 years of divine life. But his delight was not going to last. Due to divine laws, gods could only spend a few days in the human world. Julinas was going to return to the Underworld, but...

    9. Bosei Kanojo -Shikyuu Kikan Hen-  母性カノジョ-子宮 帰還編- [180330] Akabei Soft2 Kazuya was mistreated by his boss, and he was both physically and mentally exhausted. The only one who still helped him was his senpai at the workplace, Miori. He can keep going on because of her support. However before long, he quit the job upon her recommendation. “It’s fine not to give it your all.” With those words, it seemed like all the stress disappeared and he could just enjoy a simple life where she would take care of him all day long. Akabei Soft games often turn out not what they seem... but not in this case. And that's natural considered there is a single heroine, and it's nigh impossible to get a good outcome from these starters. Of course it tries to present it as a healing story with mother-like partner by the means of decent text and voice acting, but it's nothing other than nukige, after all.

In order to make it through Divine Selection, one must eliminate others by gathering information regarding their name, cause of death and regret in the real world, then "electing" them. This turn of events would lead to her learning about the truth behind her death, as well as her own personal regrets. She would also come to face the reality that Miharu was willing to throw her life away for her sake, as well as the extents to which the other participants would go to in order to live through to the end.

    VN of the Month 2018
    Deep One is the only decent game this month. Micchi is also moderately interested in Deatte 5fun and LocaLove Dousei×Kouhai  
    1. Can Can Bunny Premiere 3 きゃんきゃんバニープルミエール3 [181026] Cocktail Soft  When Negi decided to attend university in Tokyo this spring, he was coerced by his grandfather to take care of a small shrine while he was there. After finishing the general cleaning, all that was left was the small pond at the back of the shrine grounds. He looked up at the blooming cherry blooms as he swept the small shrine on the banks on the pond and thought that a tranquil life like this wouldn’t be bad either. “Thank you for making everything clean. My name is Swati. Are you the priest of this shrine? I look forward to being with you!” A girl appeared before him, basked in shimmering light and surrounded by cherry blossom petals. It was an unexpected encounter, like she had descended from the sky. It was from that moment that a brand new story begins. Moege that's much more ugly than predecessors... I'm speechless.  
    2. Deatte 5-fun wa Ore no Mono! Jikan Teishi to Atropos 出会って5分は俺のもの! 時間停止と不可避な運命 [181026] Hulotte 1 2 3 4 “Hey Mister” Yuuma was walking to the station one morning, when he heard a voice behind him. “I’m talking to you, Mister” When he turned around, there was a small girl wearing black-themed clothes and hood despite the heat of early summer. She asked him if he was bored, and he dismissed her as a fortune teller or promoting some religious group. Then, to his amazement, everything around him froze as if time had stopped. At first he thought it was a prank, but he had no choice but to believe in it when he saw that animals also stopped in their tracks. “This is called the Atropos watch and it has the power to stop time. You probably notice that the second hand is still moving. It can stop time for five minutes; in other words, time will move again after the second hand has made five rotations.” Yuuma wondered why she was explaining all this to him. She thrust the pocketwatch in his hand and left saying: “You’re bored, aren’t you? Please use it to spice up your dull life.” There are English reviews

    No masterpieces this month. But if I had to choose something, I'd probably point at Amazing Grace -What color is your attribute?- . Micchi is also happy about nukige Uchi no Imouto and RPG Fuukan no Grasesta .  
    1. Akuma Seijo ~Demon Girl Step~ 悪魔聖女 ~デーモンガール・ステップ~ [181130] SofthouseChara Ruti is a demon who was vanquished a long time ago and a part of him was sealed away. Now in the present, he was resurrected by the pitiful Kyouka who mistakened him for a sex toy. He hatched a plan to train her as the evil mahou shoujo Dark Cherry and collect magical energy to fully regain his form. However, three figures of justice stood in their way: mahou shoujos Melody Queen, Lionel and Aya. Something gameplay-intensive as usual  
    2. Amazing Grace -What color is your attribute?- アメイジング・グレイス -What color is your attribute?- [181130] Cabbage Soft 1 2 3 4 Shuu woke up in a snowy town with no recollection of his past.

However, he was taken in by the townspeople and eventually attended Saint Aleia Academy and enjoyed his time with the other students there.

Yune loved the town more than anyone and vowed from the bottom of her heart to change the town’s fate, turning back time to the December 2nd, the first day of Advent. Why did the disaster occur? Why did the town’s fate remain unchanged no matter how many times they turned back time? Why were they able to turn back time in the first place? There are English reviews  
    3. Fuukan no Grasesta 封緘のグラセスタ [181130] Eushully 1 2 3 4 "Grasesta, City of Interception", capital of the Kingdom of East Gohdia. The city was built atop the subterranean labyrinth known as the "Black Pit", a remnant of the once thriving Demonic Lands of Samara, whose infamous name has been carved deep into the annals of Western history. In order to defend the holy barriers keeping the "Blockaded Expanse" sealed up, the city, being the central hub of retaliation against the most fearsome of the Demonic Lands, requires vast amounts of manpower to be brought in to replenish its forces in the ongoing onslaught. These reinforcements consist primarily of slaves that were sold from other countries and mercenaries that flock to the area in search for a chance at fame and fortune, soon turning the city into one whose populace had only one thing on their mind: treasure. Our protagonist, "Judar Schwarka," is one such slave that's been sold to Grasesta due to being captured after a lost battle. To win back his freedom, he will have to step foot into the twisted landscape of the Blockaded Expanse... RPG has English reviews  
    4. Haruka Drive!  はるかどらいぶ! [181130] Muffin Yuuya has a childhood friend named Haruka who is innately frail and has been hospitalized since she was young. Other than that, she was a normal girl who loved to write novels. Even though she has her way with him, he treasures her as a trusted friend.

But one week later, he was welcomed by the sight of a fantasy world. Next to him was a girl who looked just like Haruka. What happened to him and what does the future hold? Scenario is rough and rushed. Visuals aren't to everyone's taste.  
    5. Kokoro ga Tsunagu Koishirube  ココロが繋ぐ恋標 [181130] Kate Lately Kouki has felt like he was being followed whenever he went. It was as if he was possessed by a spirit. He discussed it with his childhood friend Hinata and she didn’t really take him seriously. He wondered if it really was all his imagination, but then his peaceful days began to change. Even though he was asocial and never dealt much with girls, the energetic class rep Himeno invited him to a purification ceremony and the school’s famous mysterious girl Mashiro also invited him to her club. Suddenly, he was living a new life surrounded by girls. One day on his way home, the strange presence that he had been sensing all this time suddenly became visible before him. He planned to shake the mysterious spirit (?) Kokoro off, but she continued to follow him around. Game does not go full-scale moege, but it's a work that only beginners can enjoy with nothing deep and scenario offering the same solution for each heroine.  
    6. Love Coordination!  ラブコーディネーション! [181130] Shibasoft Yuuto’s family runs the tea house Larimar Bell which is known for its delicious black tea. He helps out at the shop while chatting with his childhood friend Nao about what to do during the upcoming summer vacation. However, when he returned one day, his parents were nowhere to be found.

It was impossible for him to do it alone, and Nao gladly offered to help… but there was one thing she wouldn’t do: wear such a girly outfit! Together with the overly serious student council president Hijiri and cheeky kouhai Inori, his ordinary life becomes extraordinary. Again, an average charage with story level just enough to not fall into moege  
    7. Otome ga Musubu Tsukiyo no Kirameki 乙女が結ぶ月夜の煌めき [181130] ensemble 1 2 Touya works at the residence of the Shijou family, one of the most prominent zaibatsu in the country, keeping an eye on and being of assistance to the lone daughter Ran. One day, it was decided that the free-spirited Ran will temporarily transfer to the Meigetsu Girls’ School. Since everyone at the school, from its students to the staff, are female, it would be impossible for a boy like Touya to enter on a moment’s notice. “Well, I will be taking care of other duties while you are there then.” “… What are you saying? You’re coming along too” “Eh? But, it’s a girls’ school where boys are forbidden…” “So you’ll be coming with me, as a girl” Not only would he have to cross-dress, but she wanted him to take her place in some situations. Despite his protests, he was ultimately defeated by her tears and unwillingly consented to entering the school as Yuuki. Will he be able to continue helping her there without having his cover blown?

Shortly after the entrance ceremony, they were invited by their classmate Inori to join the drama club. Ritsuki was eager to aim for the school’s primaries for the national competition, but first year students were forbidden from participating in the contest. They wouldn’t accept the fact that they were excluded just because they didn’t have much experience. If only they were given the opportunity to demonstrate their acting abilities… Rumour has it that there is a ghost that haunts the theater. It is said that it will grant any wish so long as it is related to drama. Last minori games got excessingly sensual, so I stopped treating them as full-scale games. This time scenario is buffed so we're observing how relations are fading from the start and then getting intensive due to a contract for power with an emotional outcome. But development is the same for all three heroines, so in the end scenario looks rough yet again. But visuals, h, directorship are as high as ever, so game can be appealing for quality alone.

The Guildmaster cum pub owner Neil and his daughter Lusit run the businesses. This guild is now faced with an existential crisis. The remote town of Dantor is situated on the foothills; it was formerly a massive mining complex run by the dwarves, but with their disappearance the town is now a hotspot for adventurers looking to get rich quick from what is now an enormous underground labyrinth. Amakakeru O-Hitsuji was but one guild which kept the mass of ambitious adventurers in control, but the retirement of capable adventurers and the rapid rise of the formidable rival guild, "Kokuyou no Tora" (黒曜の虎) has contributed to Hitsuji running at a loss in recent times. Everything came to a head the previous month when the notice revoking the business license was delivered to the struggling guild. The town of Dantor only permits officially licensed guilds to operate so as things stand Hitsuji is on the verge of collapse. To renew the business license, Hitsuji has to produce tangible results within a few months. During this time of crisis, the leading guild breadwinner, the skilled warrior Edgar, has his strength drained by a mysterious monster whilst exploring and is severely weakened to the point he cannot continue his trade. For the remaining guild members, this disaster is the last straw precipitating their exodus. Edgar remains as the sole registered adventurer of Hitsuji. At this juncture Lusit offers Edgar the position of new Guildmaster. Lusit's reasoning considers her father's advanced age and the effect of having Edgar with his fame as a skilled warrior take the reins, which would encourage young adventurers to gather at the pub. Edgar, who still had lingering regrets over his career-ending accident, thought about his present physical condition and his desire to pay back the guild which he had grown fond of and decided to take up Lusit's offer to become the new Guildmaster of Amakakeru O-Hitsuji. And thus, the ex-adventurer Edgar begins his new life as a Guildmaster. RPG

Fortunately for him, a cat-eared girl named Fuuko appears to save his life. She says she’s a god and that, in order to save him, she put three of the seven fragments of her divine powers into him, and now they’re trapped inside. If that all wasn’t bad enough, Erika seems to have lost her memories of the accident that nearly took Reiji’s life… and mysteriously enough, she’s sprouted cat ears of her own!

Unfortunately, step one of most of Fuuko’s brilliant schemes for getting her powers back is: kill Reiji.

However, she may continue to live alone, independently on a few conditions. There are 2 conditions that must be met: 1. She needs to score at least 90 on all her subjects for the next exam week. 2.

The most suspicious among them will be put into "cold sleep" one by one, in an effort to completely rid the ship of Gnosia. However, it is almost impossible to tell whether each person put into cold sleep was really Gnosia – or simply a poor, unfortunate scapegoat, sacrificed by the Gnosia for their own survival. Can the humans emerge victorious? Or is mankind doomed...? About Gnosia is a "sci-fi social deduction RPG". The story takes place on a spaceship.
