A story in which various “parallel worlds” exist.
Iris was born in “DE-1 World,” which is the spitting image of Earth in the 2000s. The “spiral” of tragedy that continues to loop created by Iris’ birth is gradually unraveling thanks to the activities of Arata Mizunashi and company.
And so Iris, who regained good will, created “DE-1.5 World,” a replica of “DE-1 World.” This was an ideal world where those expected to fight were kind to one another, and where everything was in sync. However, a new crisis drew near even in this world.
A mysterious man appears, and the heroines are in danger. And so new protagonist Sayaka Hiwatari must face against a chaotic scene of friends and foes alike.
The battle against the upper world is about to enter a new phase…
RPG sequel
 
4. Mizuchi no Miko 蛟の巫女 [Liar-soft]
sample-cg_05.jpg
There is a boy who prefers a solitary journey, Tsubaki Iori. A boy who had given up on love, living his life without being deeply connected to anyone, always has been and always will be, for the rest of his life. He truly believed it and came to accept it.
Until that time, when he met "her"―
On a remote island that he happens to visit, Makura-jima. A place that should have no connection to him, yet Iori receives an unexpected hospitality. If anything, he seems to have a connection with the god of the island, Watatsu Mizuchi, and his arrival is said to be a predestined fate. Even though Iori does not believe such a wild story, he heeds the wishes of the islanders, deciding to stay until the Housensai Festival.
While on this island, Iori becomes involved with three people who share with him, a "connection."
An overly familiar, yet mysterious young man―Shidara Asuka.
A girl, despite being filled with gloominess, shows genuine affection only to Iori―Saeshiro Misumi.
And, the signboard girl of a lively guest house and the "Priestess of Mizuchi"―Minato Shizuka.
All of them, like Iori, bear peculiar birthmarks on their bodies.
Waiting for the boy, an incomprehensible sense of déjà vu, "connections" that could not be a coincidence.
Eventually, the boy would realize.
That this encounter is a culmination of the curses and sentiments weave together for a thousand years.
Island mystery with some crude elements like with anticlimatic battles, but story is fine and ending unexpeded which is quite satisfactory.

Out of all six, only three are viable when it come to the VN in the most traditional sense (Souten Koihime, Yuukoku no Femme Fatale, and Mizuchi no Miko). For the other, well Death End Request 3 is the part three of Idea Factory's Dead End Request series with the artist definitely know where to focus on the female MC (It still has some disturbing contents though), and Senko VN is probably use the original story that is not exist in the manga (The manga is already ended some times ago). As for what I can think as VN of the Month, initially I think that Mizuchi no Miko may be good one seeing it's Liar-soft VN with Souten Kouhime seemingly like yet another Koihime Musou spin-off (Actually it has different casts) and Femme Fatale is from Escude which is more like nukige with maid, although Femme Fatale has more votes with surprisingly interesting story so perhaps I should say the VN of the Month for September 2024 is Yuukoku no Femme Fatale.

That's all for what I can comment in regard of September 2024 releases.

PS - Escude planned to localized Femme Fatale sometimes in the future, and for now it's still unknown on whether they'll do it by themselves or asking the others to help (Either JAST or DLSite seems to be viable candidates).
