    Fabulous on Fuwa - February!

    By Kaguya

    Introduction   Welcome, fellow Fuwamembers, to the FuwaRecognition thread. Starting this March, we’ll be highlighting some of the best contributions made by our members each month. From snazzy blog articles to delicious forum threads, and perhaps even a few things more on the shitpost part of the spectrum, we'll keep an eye out for the cream of the crop. And then we'll gather them here. Just for you.   *holds up giant APPLAUSE sign*   A-hem, so this is the f

Review plan for May

May. And June. The two damn months with a hell amount of VN I want to pick. Why do they just have to play gangbang like this, while leaving April with not one single title worth picking?! Uwa, my playing speed is already slow, how should I handle this double-attack... Well, enough ranting. Here are the titles that I will be picking and doing review on their trials. It's not certain, since I may just lose interest half-way through the game and drop it, but I should be able to get through most of

Aiyoku no Eustia: Angel's Blessing

The Blurb Aiyoku no Eustia: Angel's Blessing is the all-ages port of Aiyoku no Eustia. In it, you take on the role of Caim, a street-smart, pragmatic ex-assassin who is currently hired by a local gang to mainly be a bouncer at their headquarters/cathouse. The plot, full of fantasy intrigue and mystery, will take Caim all over the small kingdom from the depths of the slums to the holy temple and even the great castle itself. The game boasts 4 routes and a prologue that would put Robert Jordan to

Okay I am putting up a ALPHA Demo with Missing Assets So that everyone can get a feel for the game. i want people to play it before the KS is done.

What is a Schrödinger's cat?

Cat has been around the world since more than thousands years ago. Their long history with humans has made their own place in human's ethiology, history, and society. If you were to ask 100 girls what the cutest animal is, about 70 of them will answer "cat". So, cats are undoubtedly popular. But even among this popular species, there is one who stands out even more. Although his existence is still unclear and no one has never laid his/her eyes on him, this one guy, I mean cat surely "exists" in

Bansenjin so far

I'll be frank, Soushuu Senshinkan Gakuen Bansenjin feels more and more like a 'worthless sequel' the more I read. I don't say that out of cruelty but simply because I have no attachment left to the characters from the original, except a general feeling of 'that story was over, for god's sake move on!'. Some people already know my feelings about sequels in chuunige VNs, and Masada is particularly bad when it comes to returning characters. One of the problems is that Masada tends to actually compl

A farewell and some messages

Hello everyone! Rose here, bringing you guys something a bit different from usual. Today I'm here to announce a few things about the blog and the team. First of all, Ezeefreak is no longer part of the Recognition Team. He helped us a lot during our early days when we still didn't knew how to do our job properly and I am really grateful for that, as well as for everything else he did for the team. I wish him nothing but the best for his forum and for everything else in his life, he's a really gre

Rehash of vital points for those who played Hachimyoujin

Everything in this post is spoilers, so I'll be treating it as such. Don't look in the box below unless you played the first Senshinkan VN, Hachimyoujin. That is a very vague summary of the basic outline of what went on in the first VN, and no one should play Bansenjin without having played Hachimyoujin. Edit: At the same time, people who are used to Masada's style will have time getting into Bansenjin, simply because you have already experienced the majority of the characters in thi

Chrono Clock Part 2: Dorothy, Kuro, Miu

Dorothy Dorothy is a foreign exchange student, as well as the protagonist's new maid and his fiance (sort of). To be blunt, I dislike her character so much outside of her route that I wanted to smash her head in with a steel rod. Nonetheless, her route was actually pretty good. I was surprised at how good it was. I cried for it almost as much as I did for Michiru's, if for different reasons. If you can stand her, this is an excellent route to choose. Kuro Kuro is the female version o

Chrono Clock Part 1: Common, Makoto, Michiru, Misaki

Common First, I should say this VN isn't like Purple Soft's last few works. The common route is straight comedy and heart-warming antics combined with some minor drama and with a bit of personal growth for the protagonist on the side. It is good comedy and the personal growth is actually quite nice, since the protagonist as he started out would have driven me insane inside two hours. It is also relatively short, as are the heroine routes so far. I managed to finish the common route and one he

"Even if you have chuunibyou, I will still love you" - Random Review - Chuunibyou na Kanojo no Love Equation (Trial Edition)

PeasSoft. The first time I heard about them, was when they introduced their new title at that time - Koisuru Shimai no Sextet. And no, I was only interested in the catchy OP song, not the VN itself. For me, it was nothing but a nukige, although it's actually not. Definitely not the best first impression. So, why did I decide to try out their lastest title - Chuunibyou na Kanojo no Love Equation (release on May 29th)? Half of it, again, was from the catchy OP that I was humming all the time recen

A few more thoughts on VNs

I know many people have chimed in on the debate about what precisely VNs are to them... but the three main schools of thought pretty much come down to 'story-delivery system', 'pretty picture delivery system', and a mixture of both. To an extent, I can sympathize with all three... but I fall mostly with the 'mixture of both' school of thought with a leaning to the 'story-delivery system' end of things. Why? Because, when it comes down to it, all forms of otaku entertainment are story-delivery

Games in General: Why I hate Trophies

Yes, I hate trophies, achievements, or whatever you choose to call them. Why? At least part of it is because I was a gamer back in the NES era, and I liked that sense of private accomplishment it gave me for beating a game on my own. Another reason is simply because I hate the way achievements and the like break immersion, particularly in rpgs and games with a good story. I can say this outright... I almost never finish games where I can't disable trophies. I'm not interested in showing off

Kami no Rhapsody: First Completion

First, I should say that the last part of this game was actually worthy of Eushully in terms of dramatic flair. For those who probably think I was bashing this game out of hand, let me also say that there were lots of hints of what is best about Eushully. There are great characters/companions, some truly excellent character interactions, and even a few really stand-out scenes scattered throughout the first three fourths of the game... but the problem is that they are spaced out with a ridiculo

Kami no Rhapsody: Second Impression

Ok, for those who read my first post on this game, you probably have a good picture of how I see the gameplay in this game. There are hints of really excellent possibilities in the actual battle system... if you can ignore the fact that you have to equip skills (as medals) - even the personal ones - and the fact that many of the characters you get access too later are at one of two extremes... either way too weak or way too strong for the time in which you get them. As an example, the angel is w

Metal Gear Solid -Part 3- Deepthroat

I died a million times trying to get past the laser beams at the end of the hanger. But screw it, we finally did it. The moment I step out into the new area, a snowy patch of land between two buildings, I recieve a codec call. This new person calls themselves Deepthroat, as in the informant from the Watergate Scandal. He warns us of claymore mines around the area as well as a tank up ahead waiting to ambush me. As expected of myself, I died twice from claymores. Then the tank ran me

Kami no Rhapsody: Initial impressions

Ok, first I should say that this is based in the Ikusa Megami (Battle Goddess) series world. I haven't checked to see what time period it is in, but judging by the statements so far, I'd guess it was after the events in Madou Koukaku but before the second half of Verita. That said, this is based in the most fleshed-out fantasy world in all of VNs, so there is plenty of lore to draw on and add to, and Eushully is definitely milking the setting's popularity for all it is worth. Unfortunately

Zalor - The Analyst

Hello everyone! Rose here, bringing you guys another member highlight. Today we'll be talking about someone who has been around for quite a while now but might not have caught your attention yet, even though he deserves it a lot. Zalor has been here for two years now, and while he doesn't have ten thousand posts nor three hundred threads created, he surely made the few ones under his belt count. Most recently, he proposed some interesting discussion topics that were also mentioned in our "Thread

Love, Winter and Bakery - Random Review - Pure x Connect (Trial Edition)

April eroge releasing day came. Lucky for me, I didn't pick any VN this month, since they all are just boring as hell. (well, maybe that's not the case for Chrono Clock and Kami no Rhapsody, but nah, I just can't be bothered with them) So, I decided to start on some trial that just released recently, and my first one (actually, it would be the second after Rensou Relation, but, oh well...) was Pure x Connect - the lastest title from SMEE (Lover Able, Fureraba).

Roommates Review

You are a first-year college student, and you live in a Co-Ed dorm with an RA who claims to be strict, but ends up letting a lot of stuff slide. You live with a bunch of handsome boys and smokin’ hot girls, each more quirky than the last, and all of them would love to have an extra friend or two. Sounds like fun, right? RIGHT? You’d better have said yes, because Winter Wolves created a semi-realistic visual novel that reflects not only the ups and downs of living on-campus, but the parties, th
