While it was Steins;Gate that popularized the Science Adventure series with Western audiences, the series began with Chaos;Head. Chaos;Head is less widely read. It’s story is perhaps not as immediately accessible as those of the other Science Adventure games. More significantly, there was no official English version, that is until the recent localization of Chaos;Head […]
Visual Novel
Alpha-Nighthawk – Review | Sci-Fi and Furries
I’ve seen Alpha-Nighthawk by Liar-soft and Shiravune written off as a ‘furry’ visual novel. While it does have human/animal hybrids, it’s much more than just that. A Sci-Fi romance set mostly in a lawless slum abandoned by the military, it features mecha battles, powers bordering on the supernatural, a threat to humanity, and much more […]

Updated with its last ending and more voiced lines among other features, the full version of Ballads at Midnight […]
Amatsutsumi – Review | Words of Power
Amatsutsumi is the second Purple Software game I’ve played, the first being Chrono Clock. Like Chrono Clock with its time travel watch, Amatsutsumi features a supernatural hook: a command power called Kotodama reminiscent of the geas from Code Geass. Amatsutsumi is an interesting and unusual visual novel. Kotodama runs deeply in the story, which concludes […]
Digimon Survive – Review | Shrine of the Kemonogami
Digimon Survive is primarily a visual novel. This seems to be the big controversy for this title, so I’ll get it out the way first. In this jaunt to the Digital World, you’ll find SRPG combat, point-and-click gameplay, and even mechanics similar to dating sims. Despite all of this and more being in Digimon Survive, […]
Reimei no Gakuen – Review | Dawn of a New Hope
Featuring six love interests, more than 30 side characters, and approximately an 80-hour long playtime, Reimei no Gakuen is easily one of the most ambitious indie otome Original English Language visual novels (OELVN) I’d come across to date. Developed by Raikon Kitsune, Reimei no Gakuen was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2018 and released for PC (Windows, Linux, macOS) […]
