Armist アルミスト [Basement]

Foreword: I did not intend to play Armist to the end, but its game system was indeed player-friendly and the story turned out to be quite a serious thing instead of being a bakage, so it's well worth a review. Title: Armist Developer: Basement Date: 1992-07-03 VNDB link:https://vndb.org/v8564 Length: 2.5 hours. Game type: Command selection ADV.

VN of the Month November 1991 - Psychic Detective Series Vol. 5: Nightmare

VN of the Month May 1993 - Nova

Prostudent G and Nova are the masterpieces of the month, but when there's a choice I'd choose anything over bakage and thus Nova is VN of May 1993. 1. Noltia ノルティア [930514] Flat 1 Noltia contains three scenarios, which are not related to each other story-wise. All the three share traditional Japanese adventure gameplay, with "Look - Talk - Think" verb command pattern, no inventory, no puzzles, and plenty of text. The

VN of the Month June 2003 - Sayonara

Lolicon becomes the main trend of 2003, so there are less and less unblocked games. Sayonara is VN of the month, but whether it's a masterpiece or not will get clear from review. 1. Icon アイコン [030606] BellyBell The age of sword fights.  Two countries enjoy a brief moment of peace. Two swordsmen have appeared in the smallest country at such time. The turbulent times approach, so they need to protect their motherland and learn about the true nature of conflict...

Xvain エクスヴァイン ~Devil Out~ [Studio e.go!]

Foreword: Why is there only like two Japanese reviews for a game with this classy setting? The Japanese must have overlooked another great game, and I'm restoring it to due glory. Or so I thought. Synopsis:  There is a city filled with crime. The police can do nothing, and a big conspiracy is now being planned. To protect his beloved, Rex rises up... He has a secret that he is actually a battle hero, Xvain. His decision to use his power is triggered by meeting with

Refrain Blue リフレインブルー [Elf]

I don't feel eligible to write a full review since I only listened to the voice parts of the game. And the reason for that is that the game is unhookable by any instruments. No threads are found at all. Still I'm confident enough on the grappled content to write my thoughts of it. First things first: game has very poor systems. 1) Full-screen only. My try to launch it in window-mode with Dxwnd succeeded, but menu top started to fly separately from the main windows and mouse curso

VN of the Month February 2008 - Switch!! ~Boku ga Natsu ni Omou Koto~

Why are there only six unblocked games? Guess it's just a quiet month since February 2007 had nine. Switch!! ~Boku ga Natsu ni Omou Koto~ is the only game with actual twist and somewhat curious plot. 1. Switch!! ~Boku ga Natsu ni Omou Koto~ すいっチ!! ～ボクがナツに想うこと～ [080208] Colon The main character is a university student. One day, when he is asleep, he feels something strange. And when he wakes up, he finds some girls standing in front of him. What leads the girls to his room..

Ai ga Mie Hajimetara 愛が見えはじめたら [C's Ware]

Foreword: I really can't stand multiple stories visual novels. But this is C's ware work and the first story was really sweet, fast (just one hour long) and only included several non-significant choices, so I went for other two stories as well. And I promised myself that I would write a review on any game visual novel that I play to the end and that takes me over three hours to finish. So here it is - my first and hopefully last multiple stories visual novel review. Title: Ai ga Mie Hajimet

Aekanaru Sekai no Owari ni あえかなる世界の終わりに [Caramel Box]

VN of the Year 1996

The best year so far, actually. I really hope that I'll be able to say the same about every forthcoming year. 84 works during the year amounts for an average of 7 works each month - a very saturated year. Let's prolong the chart. VN per year Year Total     1991 75     1992

VN of the Month January 2005 - Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu -Angelos Armas-

Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu -Angelos Armas- is the only masterpiece of the month. But too many plotge reside without reviews this month, so - surprise - I'm picking a second game for review as well - it's Answer Dead 1. Maiden Halo メイデンハロー [050105] Giant Panda Noumi Hasegawa is a 13-years-old boy who wants to become a pianist.

VN of the Month 2019

VN of the Month September 2019 - Kimagure Temptation

Kimagure Temptation is good enough to be VN of the Month , or it may easily be AI: The Somnium Files if you can stand investigation games. Micchi also gives a chance to Cross Concerto and Study § Steady   1. Cross Concerto  クロスコンチェルト [190901] クロスコンチェルト Applique 1 It was spring, the season of new beginnings.

VN of the Month May 1991 - Ginsei Senshin Guynarock

Ginsei Senshin Guynarock is the VN of May 1991 by default - it's the closest thing to a visual novel this month. 1. Ginsei Senshin Guynarock 銀聖戦神ガイナロック [910520] Techno Brain In 2125 a special unit SIS was created to defend against extraterrestrial life.

Toki no Kairou 時の回廊 [White Cyc]

Foreword: Toki no Kairou wins marginally in the joint poll of the year. It's quite curious to see what White Cyc first game is like compared to games of the big brother Black Cyc. Synopsis: Main heroine Izumi is an ordinary student. But peaceful daily life starts to crumple with the visit of a boy in school uniform. Brutal murders and signs of supernatural forces pierce the reality. At the same time the story of girl Saya begins. She is saved from death by a man, so she fulfills

Supreme Candy しゅぷれ～むキャンディ～王道には王道たる理由があるんです！～ [Makura]

Foreword: Took Supreme Candy for review blindly, just because of the brand, so was not sure what to expect.
