InvertMouse

Hi there everyone. A few of you may have heard that my dad has passed away this Monday from cardiac arrest. Never before have I felt so broken. It's like there's a hole in my heart that would never heal again.
But after close to a week, I felt the healing process taking place. I can now smile again, and I no longer break into tears at random. When I reflect, my dad's passing has helped me grow so much in the span of three to five days. It's not at all worth the exchange, but now I hold Mum's hand a lot more, and the whole family is closer from the incident. My mind seems to have pushed all of Dad's flaws aside, so now he's turned into some kind of deity who I can always count on to watch over me. I've never been spiritual, but maybe it's all I have now to keep me sane.
But as the title suggests, my dad's funeral is on this afternoon, and I'm so nervous about it. I haven't seen Dad's face since I left the hospital on Monday, and after the cremation ceremony tomorrow, I'll never get to see him again. Really scared to guess how I'll respond when I see him today. My wounds have at last begun to heal, but the funeral might tear those stitches open again, which is so tough to bear. I feel terrible for worrying about myself at a time like this, but I must own up to what's going through my mind. For now, I'm telling myself that the funeral should be a celebration of my dad's legacy, but once those doors open, my narrative will probably fly out the window.
So yes, if anyone has any advice for me, I'd appreciate that so much. I'm up typing this at 3am because I really can't sleep, so maybe I'm a bit desperate. Of course, I'd be thankful for any good wishes you have for my dad as well. Just a lot of selfishness and confusion on my part.
Thank you so much everyone.

I picked this one up because it looked interesting, but it really was my type of game. Enoyed it immensely. 

You'll be fine! I have mouse in my name and I got through it just fine B).
 
Thinking about it, you guys are right--the H scenes are indeed well integrated into the tale. A succinct and memorable experience .

Ever17, Narcissu Side2nd and Kawana Misaki's route in ONE ~To the Radiant Season~ for me .

I typed a really long response to this, but I ended up deleting all of it, and the only thing left is this face: 

Dmm japan will only sell you stuff if your IP address appears to be in Japan so many of us use proxies or VPNs in Japan to make us appear to be in Japan (stupid laws 'n shit that haven't caught up with the modern age.) Japan's big on the whole "for sale only inside Japan" thing due to its laws..

I don't use a proxy to access DMM Japan and website always worked fine for me, but that just might be my country. Sucks to be you
As for the "no import for you" and "Japan only" - they are selling hentai games and other borderline content online; due to complicated laws regarding digital distribution of 18+ materials around the world, your best bet is to simply block access from all foreign IP's, rather than risk legal issues. If InvertMouse lives in the Philipines or any other SEA country, there's a 90% chance the website is already blocked by their ISP's because of the law; there's no other way around than using a proxy.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Lamune 2, you can now download Lamune 1 free for a limited time. (Normal price 4104 yen)

Dang, I guess there's no love for the game here, haha (TUT)~
 
I picked up and tried out the game last night. It is more or less like the reviewers have said. Quite a lot like Go Go Nippon except in China. The two heroines have pretty much no tension so it is a calm sort of tale if you are into that. They more or less exist just to show us around. Artworks are fantastic.
 
Importantly, I very much respect them having Chinese speaking heroines with Chinese names. That is what I meant by folks doing their own thing and being true to who to hey are, while still having love for things they enjoy. This game will probably never get noticed much. It is a short game with a tame journey, so there is no saying is is unfair. Still, I respect it without basing it on popularity or profit.

Just stumbled upon this :

I have a thing for these "travel novel" type games so I bought it. Heard it is quite short as well, which suits my lifestyle. Seems like a pretty stealth release so just want to share it here in case anyone else is interested .

Yeah, with those stats from SteamSpy, I think they include keys from bundles, so the numbers can be misleading. Money wise, my newer titles are performing way better than Bermuda. I did a horrendous job of managing Bermuda. It deserves the bad reviews and does not deserve to be on that list :(.
As for Kickstarter, I am not all that smart with money, but I have done a few back when it was a newer thing for visual novels. When you take the physical printing and shipping costs into account, your finance can quickly spiral into a disaster, even if things feel great at first.

Thanks for the replies! Dergonu, yeah, I actually want to play Grisaia really badly. The premise seems refreshing, and I am a sucker for pretty pictures like anyone else, but all it takes is for one person out there to say a game has fluff scenes, and I want out .
Deep Blue, Narcissu Side 2nd is not just one of my favorites, but my very favorite visual novel of all time! It lasted for around six hours with my reading speed. Oh yeah, that's another thing I forgot to mention. I'm a slow ass reader man. See, I like to read the lines and imagine being in the scene, which really slows things down. Sometimes I skim read when I know a game is long, but then I just end up not enjoying the journey, even if I do ultimately complete the read.
By the way, thank you so much for keeping that Vinty emoticon around. I treat it as a massive honor and never take it for granted .
