She came completely prepared, dressed in tactical gear, pressing an airsoft gun into his back and forcing him down the eerily quiet hallway. He heard faint laughter and turned around, and Yuumi had already dashed out of sight. The strange creaking and sounds of running… could this be the paranormal encounter that he wanted!?

A guerilla public performance that would be held by a student theatre group.
The protagonist, once debuted as a child prodigy but now left the path of the theatre arts, indulged in nostalgic memories.
"Let's peek in for a bit"
An irrational story born out of curiosity.

An airhead girl who loves to act, Kakehashi Kohaku.
Theatre arts' poster child, Nionomiya Meguri.
A net idol currently rising in popularity, Amatsuka Nanana.
The girl working behind-the-scenes who gave up acting, Hakadori Rize.
"Let's make it the best play!"

2. Even upon meeting timing to show affection may easily turn wrong
3. What if she rejects?
One must be extremely lucky for all three points to coincide. With such thoughts protagonist spends winter days of the second year of high school.

At that moment, the bell of the clock tower, which was rusty and always silent, rang out. "When the bell of the clock tower rings, the end of this school will come soon." Like the gossip had hinted, it was the beginning of a nightmarish turmoil in Puerarium. Alouette who had became a student after many complications, violated curfew and left her room. What she saw there was a school that had turned into a different world, and a strange shape that wandered around with a murderous intent. With determination she called out to the girl in front.

5. Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol. 8 グリザイア ファントムトリガー Vol. 8 [220225] Frontwing
At last, an all-out war is at hand.
The battle against the religious organization, The Fatal Answer (TFA), has entered its final phase, with CIRS and SORD preparing to send all of their troops into TFA's stronghold.
The battlefield soon descends into total chaos. Black rain pours down, civilians become desperate for water, and shots are fired at friend and foe alike. Not even the trenches are safe from the anti-aircraft guns TFA employs, the explosions bombarding the combat zone that the girls are tasked with invading. Such a feat is not unlike invading the depths of hell itself. The underground base is quickly being suffocated by gunpowder, and the dark forest that surrounds the battlefield reeks with the stench of death. But both contain within them the faint yet tenacious flames of life; will those flames be able to withstand the harsh realities of war?
This must never, ever be repeated again...
"Listen up, everyone! Final equipment checks!"
"Yeah, there's nowhere to retreat to."
"Is it okay to kill them?"
"We can die happy."
"Thank God! I'll never let you go again!"
"Life itself is war..."
"Prepare for close-quarters combat!"
"Holy crap! Look! They're charging right at us!"
"They've completely lost their minds..."
"Well then, I guess it's time to end this... What are you going to do, Enishi-san?"
The girl places her finger on the trigger of fate...
"Why... Why do you fight?"

Partial release
2. FLIP * FLOP ~RAMBLING OVERRUN~ [230224] DiGination
Ran Tsukigaoka is a genius girl, but no one truly understands her - even herself. She knows who she is, but she never experienced love.
I admit skipping the sequel, but it was vanilla nukige with an AI girl - a super boring service game. This time heroine is a genius creator of AI, so it's at least more or less natural, though still a totally fetish little game.
3. SACRIFICE VILLAINS [230224] CLOCKUP
CRIME has reigned supreme in SCUM CITY since the day the SUPERVILLAINS showed up—
However, at the heart of this evil nest lies a sanctuary known as JUSTOPIAN WARD.
As a deterrent to the evildoers, the SUPERHEROES constructed this self-sufficient stronghold, which thrives despite the surrounding CHAOS.
JUSTOPIA, the ultimate hero and bane of countless villains, is its FOUNDER, MAYOR, and CHAMPION.
Justopia also founded the HERO SOCIETY and serves as its chairman, giving orders to the other heroes as they fight crime and bring peace to the city and the world.
Yet, the crafty VILLAINS are growing stronger, and the HEROES are struggling to keep up... some of them have even betrayed the cause by swearing allegiance to the dark side in the most heinous way!
If not the ASYLUM, to whom should Justopia seek assistance? This facility reforms criminals, and who could be more qualified to lead it than YOU?
Capturing and reforming S-level villains must be done rapidly and efficiently.
It's in your hands to rehabilitate these scumbags and put their power to use for JUSTICE again!
Tried to find at least some gameplay elements in it, and no, it's just a pure nukige, and I would not include it unless it got translation at some point.
4. Sakura no Toki -Sakura no Mori no Shita o Ayumu- サクラノ刻－櫻の森の下を歩む－ [230224] Makura 1
Even disappear into the inexhaustible world.
Still, the sounds overlap and resonate.
The time flows – one day, it will become poetry.
A two story about geniuses, geniuses and mediocrities. Weak God and strong God.
A story beyond happiness.
That is the second act of the cherry blossom story.
A genius chosen by God, a genius abandoned by God, and a mediocre man who resists God.
What is the charism that dwells in beauty? Why is the fruit given only to the chosen one?
"Where did we come from, who are we, where are we going?"
A world united by the light of causal exchange.
Can artists answer that question through beauty?
A story told around Kusanagi Naoya after "Sakura no Uta".
From that slope, Naoya and Ai went down while looking at the city of Yumihari.
There were many untold stories leading up to it.
About two geniuses.
The true story of Natsume Kei and Kusanagi Naoya.
Why do they continue to fascinate people even after Natsume Kei's death or when they break their brushes?
A true painter, Misakura Rin, who is the embodiment of beauty itself.
Why does she want to go beyond where they stopped?
What about Hikawa Rina? What about Kawachino Yuumi? What about Toritani Makoto? And Natsume Ai?
All human thoughts intersect.
There is at least one English review already.
Surprisingly adequate number of titles in February, so I could safely cut couple titles that would fit otherwise (notably, Alice49 EP.0 "Diamond to Shukurimu" and 5fungo ni Igai na Ketsumatsu Monochrome no Toshokan).
1. Haison Sansaku-Kai Katsudou Kiroku 廃村散策会活動記録 [240203] mokosoft
He wanders into the village and comes face to face with the village customs and the mystery of the sacred tree. However, he is also a freak who wants to desecrate the mystery. The battle for the salvation of mankind by the cursed village begins.
Amateur game with amateur text and like one hour long, but with an opening, which is already enough to include it.
2. Nie no Hakoniwa 贄の匣庭 [240215] Kenkou Land 1
A long time ago, an outsider appeared before the village of a long-suffering minority. In his possession was a mysterious “box” which was used by the oppressed to rise up and overthrow their oppressors.

"Just bear with it. I'll get it over with soon."
Entranced by her cool fingers and sweet scent, Rino gives her body over to Chizu.
Fate begins to toy with the two as their feelings dance the fine line between reason and instinct...

4. Hajimeru Sekai no Risouron -goodbye world index- はじめるセカイの理想論 -goodbye world index- [231124] Whirlpool
MC is one of the "reincarnated people" who answered the call of the god who rules this world. He is entrusted the fate of this world by the god and surrounded by other reincarnated people who form a team to fight evil that threatens this world. The world he once lived in was full of lies, and those lies killed him. When he was reincarnated into this world, he prayed to God and acquired the ability 'Doubt'', which is the ability to see through other people's lies. This ability protects his from similar harm, but at the same times it also reveals the hearts of his companions, even things that they keep hidden and intend to ignore.
Ecchi comedy without real story focus. Girls are varied, so it's quite possible to find one you can like, especially with routes built around personal circumstances.
5. Setsuna ni Kakeru Koi Hanabi 刹那にかける恋はなび [240222] CRYSTALiA
In the 2040s in Japan, the near-future sport "Jindou" boasts a high popularity as the sport of the people. And the the most famous of all the Jindou performances is the "Daihouen".
Suzakuin Nadeshiko, although currently still a school student, has been fantastically making a name for herself as a pro swordswoman. On the other side, the protagonist Takizawa Kazuma, a washed-up pro swordsman, competes in underground Jindou matches to make ends meet.
One day, these two who were born and lived in completely different worlds had a fateful meeting.
"Kazuma-san, your swordsmanship is the real deal. Fight with us in the Daihouen and let's make it to the top!"
"...yeah. If we could that'd be great"
The pair, captivated by Jindou, are drawn to each other's swordsmanship and seek each other. With Takizawa Komari and Hanabusa Palvi joining Team White Wolf too, they eventually make big waves on the stage of the Daihouen.
If they win, glory awaits. If they lose, they fall from grace. With their beliefs held in their breasts, the swordsmen step out into a battle they can't afford to lose in the intense world of pros.
Swordsmen live in the moment. The "moment" you let slip will never come back-- in which case, set your soul alight.
We've seen a lot of CRYSTALiA stories already, and they aren't story heavy or particularly good. This one has numerous flaws, but it's still and action story in futuristic setting which is still better for me than most charage.
6. The 257th Element [240223] REAL co.Ltd 1
A time not too far from now. To find a solution for the food problem caused by a growing population, every country has been investing huge budgets into scientific research to increase every single mass with as limited time and energy as possible. As a result, new elements the 119th and beyond were discovered and created one after another, and finally, a genius scientist in Tokyo named Hikojuro Araki succeeded in creating the 256th element, Araraginium, which is a dreamy element that creates every being out of nothingness.
However, at the very moment when the first experiment in the world to create Araraginium just began, by an unexpected accident, it diffused all over Tokyo and disappeared.
A few days later, appalling incidents started happening all of a sudden, all-over Tokyo; people who were thought to be dead started emerging back to life as if they had never been dead, not even once. They all had a memory before their death, and actually, were those who passed away during the time period between the accident and 72 hours before that.
Due to their relevance with the accident, those people were called Araragi Human.
This story takes place several years after this in Tokyo…

4. Ren'ai, Hajimemashite 恋愛、はじめまして [ASa Project]
I always thought my student life would pass by without much to remember.
Getting to class early for no real reason, half-listening to the teacher with my mind elsewhere, longing for the bell to ring so I could go home without saying a word to anyone. Sometimes, I’d wish for something—anything—to break up the monotony, but deep down, I figured my youth had already slipped away.
"I am sparky happy Tenshi-chan! An angel on a mission to make the world overflow with happiness!"
And as if in answer to my silent prayers, an unbelievably suspicious angel appeared before me, cherry blossoms swirling around her.
"If you're really an angel, then make me happy."
"Do I take that as a proposal? Not even an angel can help someone who won’t reach for happiness themselves."
"Happiness... But where am I supposed to find mine?"
"That's easy! The answer is love, of course."
"Love, huh..."
I've never been in love, nor has anyone loved me. But maybe, just maybe, if I could fall in love, I might still have a chance to live my youth to the fullest.
"Very well, this Tenshi-chan will bless you until the day you become the true protagonist of your story."
And so begins the story of how I become a "Protagonist"—whatever that means.
Banality squared.
There are no masterpieces in January and Dragon Eyes becomes the winner by default since it's the closest thing to a normal visual novel.
1. Dragon Eyes ドラゴンアイズ [910123] Fairytale 1
Dragon Eyes is a "space opera" kind of story, focusing on a young girl named Ines, who lives on the planet Miu of the Phi Sun. She grew up together with a space agent named Klind, to whom she refers as "brother". One day, her superior from the planet Garudoria informs her that Klind has disappeared during one of his missions and might be in danger. Ines travels to Garudoria to find additional information, and soon becomes involved in a vast space conflict...
Space opera type with girl Ines who lost contact with space agent Klind who was like brother to her. She heads to planet Garudoria where he was last contacted only to be involved into huge space conflict...
Space opera setting is usually alone enough already to gain appeal. And it really looks like it's here just for the charm. Dragon eyes has splendid graphics on the top. Heroines are beauties (with nakedness not rare). Total number of CG exceeds 200 which was very good volume. But sadly it lacks in every other division. Controls are mediocre since it's usual non-simplified command selection. Sci-Fi setting is spoilt by magic interference. Plot advances feel cheap. It's still would be good work if you really like its graphics.
2. Misty Vol.7 Misty Vol.7 [910125] DataWest 1
Misty Vol.7 is a detective mystery adventure game set in modern-day Japan and starring the young private investigator Ryū Kamishiro.

These cases range from seemingly mundane matters to thefts, mysterious disappearances and murder investigations.
This volume contains the following cases: The Color in the Darkness, Airtight Archipelago, Bonds of Illumination, A Watch Without a Needle and Innocent Vision.
A serious detective game which is a genre that I don't feel confidence to discuss.
3. Phantasy Star II Text Adventure: Anne no Bouken ファンタシースターII テキストアドベンチャー アンヌの冒険 [910130] Sega 1 2 3 4
Amy Sage (Japanese: アンヌ・サガ (Annu or Anne Saga)) has just finished her internship at the hospital in River Town, and has become a full-fledged doctor. Calm, yet strong-willed, she is dedicated in helping everyone who needs her medical aid. Her chapter takes place in the spring of AW 1284, shortly before the events of Phantasy Star II, giving the player some insight into why she became a doctor and decided to specialize in helping victims of Biomonster attacks.
Game is localized and has enough information in English.
4. Dragon City ドラゴンシティ [9101] Fairytale X-Shitei
One day hero is taken to a different world. And in this world women are taught to respond to desires of men.
Fairytale X-Shitei is actually the main company name of 1991. It's the first division to produce only specialized H works without much plot, but with top level of drawing. And since there was no regulation yet, it was produced without any censorship. And eventually by the end of the year it led to an arrest of company director for indecency and introduction on censorship in computer games. This game is on par to the overall flow - cute and indecent.
5. Soapland Story II -Memory- ソープランドストーリー Ⅱ -Memory- [9101] Hard
City nanpa adventure with more complex mechanics and maintaining such stats as Life, Strength, Experience and Money.
This is one of the earliest tilts into SIM, but just the nanpa synopsis does not not invoke much interest.
Himitsu no Hanazono is the most curious game of January 1991.
1. Green Oasis グリーンオアシス [920120] Ucom
Green Oasis is a system of rebuilding any undeveloped planet into an environment suitable for life over the course of several years. A development officer responsible for Oasis Plan on a certain star was attacked and injured with important documents stolen.
Relix is an investigator sent to the star to deal with the incident consequences.
So it's an SF investigation obscure game with no reviews in japanese.
2. Business Wars ビジネスウォーズ [920124] HECT 1
The game takes place during the 1980s in what would be called the Age of Consolidation. Companies were merging together to be conglomerates. All the consolidation among the corporations were starting to affect the U.S. economy in an unprecedented way. Even the Caribbean was affected by the corporate giants of the 1980s.
A lot of strategy is used when players have to make decisions and negotiate. Messages always arrive using the data feed style to make the game more business-like. The game can end with a loss if the wrong decision is made at the wrong time (similar to dying in an action game). The player will have to deal with loan sharks in the Caribbean, ruthless corporate executives from rival companies, arbitration sessions, and components that make the game look more like a strategy game at times. There are no items to use and very little action (with moving the guy around a virtual office building).
I'm not really going to discuss an economic simulator without a story and characters.
3. Gomenne Angel ~Yokohama Monogatari~ ごめんねエンジェル 〜横浜物語〜 [920131] JAST
One day the hero picks up a notebook and it turns out to be a possession of a girl student of St. Francis girls academy where his fiance is teaching. All three of them meet in a cafe, but girl looks very anxious. Her sister disappeared. And we'll help to find her.
First part of Angel's afternoon special series. Difficulty is high since you can't just bruteforce it - wrong actions can easily prevent further progress and result in bad end. You feel like on an Eastern Express - you need to be at exact place at exact order. You move from place to place and get information from beautiful girls, sometimes forcing a relationship to get it out. There are some 6 routes, so it looks much like charage.
4. Himitsu no Hanazono 秘密の花園 [920131] Tokuma Shoten Publishing Co. 1
One day a beautiful adult woman moves to live next to the main character. She turns out to be a new teacher, but she actually is a private detective investigating the case of school president granddaughter murder right at school. Hero gets to know about her true identity and decides to help the investigation.
Command selection varies from spot to spot. Hero can investigate alone or with one of three girls including main heroine. There is actually one ending but in order to get there you'll need to switch heroines to accompany you a lot. This kind of character design cannot be confused with anything else. Urasuhara-sensei is in charge of graphics and it's supercute. There is also eye and lip animation. Story is actually lacking and full of H-scenes. But later there was pc-engine version that had all characters voiced and had all the H-scenes cut. So it turned out to become a noteworthy charage.
5. Himitsu Chouhou Buin - 00Nanako-chan 秘密諜報部員00ななこちゃん [920101] Overture
Nanako comes from a spy family succeeding after her father and older sister. Finally she gets her first task...
A doujin game on a horrible visual basic 5 engine that I failed to launch. Still there are couple gameplay videos at niconico. This is basically a bakage with weird events happening around Nanako. There are quite a lot of beautiful illustrations in the game.
There are no masterpieces this month, but I rate Mamono Hunter Youko: Tooki Yobigoe above others and thus it's VN of the January.
1. Gram Cats 2 グラムキャッツ２ [930108] Dott Kikaku 1
Marine and Sayaka arrive to the Scherer Island which is known as a luxury resort with a great hotel and famous nudist beach. Their goal is to investigate island secretly for the traces of an alien base.
I prepared a full review.
2. Mamono Hunter Youko: Tooki Yobigoe 魔物ハンター妖子 ~遠き呼び声~ [930108] Tenky 1 2
Tooki Yobigoe is a direct sequel to Mamono Hunter Yōko: Makai kara no Tenkōsei, continuing where the story of the previous game left off. Yohko, Shoma and Setsuna are attacked by demons on the flying ship, and have to use their recently found powers to fend them off. As opposed to the previous game, where Shoma was the protagonist, Yohko is the player character in the sequel.
There is not much of a story here, but there's much action, so it looks even better than the prequel. It's one-way road and it's impossible to die here. It's a one-time game, but light and fun so it should be treated this way.
3. Tenshi-tachi no Gogo V ~Nerawareta Tenshi~ 天使たちの午後V 〜狙われた天使〜 [930114] JAST
Main character is a lover and a producer of a selling singer. An incident occurred in which the acquaintance was shot dead during the singer live performance ruining the event. Hero decides to start his own investigation.
The reason why the hero starts an investigation is very weak. There are many interrogations to be done, so the game differs greatly from the other parts of the series. There are many bad endings and most of H events are only accessible while pursuing those. The poor interface resembling pc-88 games leaves a feeling of a half-baked game.
4. Akiko 亜紀子 [930122] Red Zone 1
Akiko Yagami is a young woman who has just accepted a teaching job offer from the Noble Girls High School. She is determined to be a good teacher and concentrate on her work. But upon arriving, she realizes that the school is a playground for wild sex. Akiko is seduced by her female boss, witnesses sex scenes between students, and finally gives in to her urges...
Fairytale X-Shitei disbanded after the scandal, but it does not mean Fairytale dropped its adult direction branch. Redzone took the place and even remade Kounai Shasei series adding censorship so that those could be sold again. In this first work Redzone accepted the rules of the game and produced a censored game, but of extreme content. The game has little in the story department apart of the fact that Akiko appears to be a secret agent sent to uncover the disturbing events in this school. The game was first in the sales in January 1992 which shows that the theme answered the wishes of the audience.
5. Premium II [930128] Silky's 1
Premium 2 has exactly the same premise as its predecessor - play through four erotic scenarios, each dedicated to a specific theme, without any over-arching story line. The gameplay is exactly the same as in the previous game: the player goes through simple context-specific commands to trigger the next scene. The situations are entirely dedicated to sex.
CG beautiful as ever and the "plot" part is quite non-existant. There are some bad endings on poor choices.
6. Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water ふしぎの海のナディア THE SECRET OF BLUE WATER [930129] Hudson Soft 1 2 3 4 5 6
Fushigi no Umi no Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is one of the several games based on the anime series of the same name. The game assumes familiarity with the story of the anime, taking the player directly into the time frame of late episodes, where Grandis and the jewel thieves have already joined Jean and Nadia on their travels with Captain Nemo on his submarine "Nautilus". Following a dramatic scene that reveals more about Electra's past, the crew is stranded on a mysterious island. Jean, Nadia, Marie, and the lion cub King decide to explore it, and discover an ancient civilization in the process.
There are English reviews.
7. Beast 3 ビースト 3 [9301] Birdy Soft
One day Mr. Sato rang saying that she felt foggy. When Soga and Kotone made it to his place, man was missing. First step is to seek at university where he was last seen.
Game is now set outdoors! So we search information from inhabitants of one area, get the lead to next area and so on. There's almost no H-scenes. There are a lot of gags on the previous parts scattered around. So the serious atmosphere of the first parts is totally ruined, maybe for the best. Still, beast trilogy stays one of the three pillars of Birdie Soft company on par with Joker and CAL series.
Fuzoroi no Lemon and Welcome to the Cinemahouse are masterpieces, but the latter one has fewer elements of visual novel genre and thus Fuzoroi no Lemon is the game of the month.
1. Marble Cooking マーブルクッキング [940101] Negative 1 2 3 4 5 6
Marble, the young and innocent apprentice of magic, has always been curious about one of her master's possessions, the magic "Wand of Wishes". One day the curious girl uses the wand; as a result, an evil demon is unleashed into the world. The spirit of the wand, a rabbit-like creature known as Sirius, tells Marble that it is now her responsibility to save the world from the demon, whose vile plan is to brainwash and sexually abuse ripe pretty young girls!
So there are seven stages, at which we... place carrots to summon a rabbit and watch HCG between the scenes. Something tells me this game is not so much about the story... Anyway, game even has English translation and a big faq in English... for those who want to reach perfection in placing carrots!
2. Gao Gao! 1st ~Radical Sequence~ ＧＡＯＧＡＯ！１ｓｔ ~ラジカルシークエンス~ [940107] Four-Nine 1 2
The protagonist of the game is a college student named Yuuji Shibata. One evening, just after hearing on the news that someone has stolen a tiger, he goes out to a convenience store. On the way back, in a dark alley, he notices a strange creature, a young girl with cat ears and tail. She doesn't seem to remember anything about herself, except her name beginning with the syllable "Mi...", which afterwards earns her the nickname Mi. Yuuji brings her to his house and tries to introduce her to the world of humans. (which, naturally, also involves techniques of human procreation). But will Yuuji be able to keep Mi as his companion (sexual and otherwise), or will he have to face her mysterious past?..
I've prepared a full review of the game.
3. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 08 Wa 宝魔ハンターライム 第０８話 [940110] Silence 1
In this episode Lime, Bass and Mizuki go to a fair and watch a magician's show. A BEM has disguised itself as one of the props, and Lime must become a magician herself in order to trap it.
A light comical episode with circus focuses as theme. It's still far till the end, so fooling around is in full blossom.
4. Nanba Kousuke Ikasete Nanbo! 難波康介イカせてなんぼ! [940110] Altacia
Kosuke is a graduating high school student who lives alone in Shinjuku. He has a secret passion for his classmate Miki and is anxious to confess his feelings to her before the final exam day. But as soon as he settles a date with Miki she dissapears and an unknown floating girl appears in a flash, then stumbles and looses consciousness. Girl is declares that a "holy war" is approaching and that the fate of humankind and Miki depends on Kosuke now. It turns out that legendary princess Kaguya actually married one of her five guards and while Miki is a descendant of Kaguya-hime, Kosuke comes from the line of her husband. In order to save Miki, Kosuke needs to sublimate passion of other girls.
I can't help surprise seeing such elaborate plots devised just to chase girls. We circle around the subway stations looking for girls. But actual process is done in simulation manner. There are even stats for it. Game does not have a single japanese review or impression and I did not go far either.
5. Bell's Avenue 2 ベルズアベニュー２ [940114] Signa Works
A collection of three main stories and several short kinetic stories:
1. 小犬のワルツ
2. UNDERDEEP
3. パラゴンの災難
4. FORUM
5. BA散歩
6. しおりの部屋
7. minimum hour
The structure and the content are very close to the previous part. Same over-sized body parts present.
6. Fuzoroi no Lemon 不揃いのレモン [940121] Softhouse Bonbee Bonbon 1
Machida Haruko, nicknamed "Faru", is a young girl who was living together with her sister Mei. Mei has mysteriously disappeared, and one day Faru received a package, which contained a video showing her sister, tortured by unknown people, crying in agony. The young heroine heads to the high school Mei studied in. She tries to get a job there, in order to investigate the circumstances of her sister's disappearance, and bring her home safe...
Yet another Classmates rival and this time even with the time concept. Main character is a shemale... so trap protagonists attack started in yearly 1994... Heaven's voice system was particularly useful, it's basically tips of what to do when stuck or bored. Game is strong in every division. There a lot of unique and cute characters. Story tries to have a serious narration, but with a shemale in girls school gags are inevitable and game manages to keep that balance of seriousness and bakage. So you wonder around the school , talking to several teachers and several students in order too proceed with the story. Characters can be absent at their spots and it's possible to miss an important event. For that the system of moving back in time with a nursery cabinet is introduced. In the second half of the game money is used a lot so it's important not to waste assets on fortune telling and such. Irregular lemon actually managed to save the fun parts and not to fall behind in any aspect, so it's definitely a masterpiece game.
7. Miho 美穂 [940128] Red Zone 1
Miho Premium Collection no.003 is dedicated to predominantly sexual experiences of a Japanese young woman named Miho during her work at a hospital as a nurse. The game's story is rather sparse, consisting of various encounters with doctors, staff members, and patients, most of which lead to sexual scenes, often with unsavory medical undertones and torture.
Red-Zone title with hospital as theme. Does not have value apart of H.
8. Welcome to the Cinemahouse ようこそシネマハウスへ [940128] Hard
Player controls film director of Cinema House on the planet Paraiso which is in the middle of war. Much of the crew was conscripted, military censure is ravaging, but for a man of passion everything is possible.
Each character has behavior patter lasting for 24 hours. According to that pattern we devise a plot and arrange actors in SLG part. Mostly we just approve or disapprove suggested variants, so it's not difficult. It's possible to talk to actors and those talks are masterfully done. If you done screening but want to start anew or shoot additional scenes, the schedule gets tight. There is also human relationships dimension and unexpected troubles that come up. Parents would naturally object in indecent role offered to the child. But the ADV part of the game is probably even better. You can walk around the town talking to inhabitants in the top down camera Classmates style immersing in the atmosphere of warring city. Even though the length of the game is not big, the degree of freedom and the replay value is great. Believe it or not, many people are calling this game their favorite game among all the pc-98 games and it's definitely a masterpiece.
9. Koukou Kyoushi Sei Erika Jogakuin Hen 高校教師 聖エリカ女学院編 [940129] Wishbone 1
The game has a rather simple premise: the protagonist is a young man who is looking forward to his first day on a new job, that of a teacher at the prestigious St. Erika Girls' High School. Naturally, he won't be busy with teaching alone; the goal is to get acquainted with the various female characters that populate the school, including the nurse and many of the students.
A game with huge map and lots of walking around. Point-and-click system does not make things easier as well. It's difficult to get to H events and huge time investments seem to be needed to figure out the rest.
There aren't masterpieces this month, but among others Doki Doki Vacation ~Kirameku Kisetsu no Naka de~ is worth the honor of being VN of January 1995 the most.
1. Ayumi-chan Monogatari Jisshaban あゆみちゃん物語 実写版 [950112] Alice Soft 1
Ayumi-chan Monogatari: Jisshaban is almost exactly the same game as Ayumi-chan Monogatari, with one important difference: it has photos of a real actress replacing the original's anime-style graphics. There are no graphics at all in the game.
Don't think there is the need to discuss this horrible game once more.
2. School Festival ~Cosmos Sai Kitan~ スクールフェスティバル ～秋桜祭奇譚～ [950113] Ange
Hero is a high school teacher and also consultant of ethics committee. The day before the cultural festival, it was cancelled by the principal due to diminished public morals. It's our job to investigate the truth behind the cancellation.
Well, pretty much every girl is in love with the hero, so that's what diminished public morals, hehe, there's a distinctive harem sensation in the air. The most interesting part about the game is game system - all the characters on the screen are displayed at the right part of the screen and when you press on the face, that character speaks. So it's some mix between ADV and I-ADV. Another feature is when we go on a trip, we gather the team ourselves and dialogues change drastically according to the team members. So another work of Ange with strange systems and heartwarming feeling. Alas, it has little beyond fun dialogues.
3. Waku Waku Mahjong Panic! ~Shikigami Denshou~ わくわく麻雀パニック！ ～式神伝承～ [950113] Four-Nine 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It is in the shadows between the world of the spirits and the world of the flesh that the Shikigami live -- ethereal fairy-beings given form and flesh in the shape of beautiful elfin girls. Shikigami may be caught by a Shikigami Master, someone who knows the ancient art of defeating them at battle mahjong and binding them with a contract. A man who catches a Shikigami could win everything...but risks his very soul. In the very near future, in the city of Demon Tokyo, a powerful Shikigami Master named Jango lives amidst the bustling insanity of the city. A request for help from a beautiful woman leads to a showdown with the vile Organization. Jingo's world is about to be turned upside down...
Game is localized with lots of English reviews. English version was scrapped for actual mahjong gameplay and was redone with game resources on macromedia flash stealing lots of charm from the game. Still I'm mostly interested in plot and thus English version was perfect for me and took only an hour and a half to see through. So reviews are mostly negative, but keep in mind that pretty much everyone went to play sequel as well. As I see it, it's because story is fun enough and characters very joyful and likable.
4. Doki Doki Pretty League Dai 2 Wa - Mou Hitotsu no Rival DokiDokiぷりてぃリーグ 第2話 もうひとつのライバル [950115] Great
After decisive win over Blue Dolphins it is the final round of JPL-ONE against Universal Solids. But two days before the match the leading player of the team Nanase goes missing.
Nanase starts to feature as the leading role and we approach to getting to know her family, her circumstances and her secret.
5. Doki Doki Vacation ~Kirameku Kisetsu no Naka de~ DOKIDOKIバケーション ～きらめく季節の中で～ [950127] Cocktail Soft 1
Dokidoki Vacation tells the story of a Japanese teenager called Junichi. High school is over, the summer vacation has begun. But due to the young man's uneasy relationship with his family and other circumstances, he cannot afford the vacation he was hoping for. So Junichi decides to find a job. He starts working in a book store, and soon realizes that feelings develop between him and Megumi, a girl who works in the same place. But what about the classmate Junichi was in love with before?..
One of the most epic galge of the pc-98 era. Graphics is just fabulous, characters are super cute. Gamers literally cried with joy at the time of the release. VN has a great balance between gags, seriousness and eroticism. But actually from our days perspective there's nothing much here. Story is one way road with the goal set from the introduction - confess to Mutsu-chan who is school's idol. And actually Mutsu-chan was the only heroine that was impossible to capture and did not have H-scene. That was actually the cry-factor. She's the cutest of heroines are player is suggested to look among the other heroines. Cruel, but that's what made the game famous. And a lot of people do not lose hope up to this day for F&C to issue some bonus CD of fandisc with Mutsu-chan ending in it.
6. Marmalade Boy ママレード·ボーイ [950127] Bandai Namco Entertainment 1 2
Miki Koishikawa's ordinary life as a high school sophomore is turned upside down when her parents suddenly announce that they are getting divorced in order to swap partners with a couple they met in Hawaii. They seek her approval of the shocking change, and at a dinner where Miki meets the other couple as well as their son Yuu Matsura, who is about her age, she reluctantly agrees to the arrangement. Yuu, while at first a jerk who takes every opportunity to make fun of Miki, turns out to be fun and attractive, and Miki finds herself falling for him. Little by little, she accepts her new family arrangement and opens up to Yuu as they become friends.
The game follows a different path from the manga where the player can choose if Miki pursues Yuu, her best friend Ginta or her coworker Kei.
There are English reviews.
7. URM ~M15 Wakusei ni Umarete~ URM～M15惑星に生まれて～ [950127] Beluga Computer
A group of people born on the planet M15 set off to a space voyage in search of truth behind exodus from the Earth.
Not much is known, and it looks like never will be.
8. Doukyuusei 2 同級生 2 [950131] Elf 1 2 3 4 5 6
Sequel to Doukyuusei.
Two years have passed Since Doukyuusei, The setting is a new Town and a new Protagonist.
The goal is the same, romance a girl or girls of your choice with their own stories and quirky personalities.
If you're lucky during your pursuits you might run into a familiar face.
The main change is that instead of summer this time the setting is winter. Game managed to introduce even more heroines and increase the volume to sky high level while increasing the difficulty and story emphasis at the same time. It also popularized the word "moe" that was widely used by one of the heroines who called the hero "oni-chan". The high degree of freedom was actually lost since flags were set very strictly and unless you follow the flags you're kicked out of the route. The individual stories now include a lot of drama, making this game a nakige. Game features Misa from prequel as the most popular character of prequel. So game was really popular, but did not have the impact of the first Classmate. Moreover, game would feel much better with general ADV system without those strict flags. Top down view became redundant and useless for a story emphasis game.
There are no masterpieces this month. I would not like to nominate bakage a winner and I have a bad aftertaste from Start Trap and Shizuku, so VN of January 1996 is Ryuuki Denshou Dragoon
1. Bind ~Kinbaku Jinmon Densetsu~ Bind ～緊縛尋問伝説～ [960112] Outou Shobou In Side 1
The content of the game can be easily deduced from its title ("Kinbaku Jinmon Densetsu" means the legend of bondage interrogation). The game contains three "episodes", unrelated to each other story-wise. The first one is set in medieval times and tells about the adventures of two female treasure hunters in an ancient tomb; the second begins with two young girls being kidnapped by a mysterious secret society; the third deals with three school girls being assaulted by a thief.
Ero-centered omnibus collection with bondage as theme.
2. Yaku ~Yuujou Dangi~ 厄 ～友情談疑～ [960113] Idea Factory Co., Ltd. 1 2 3
Five adults return to the elementary school they attended as children only to find that it has been closed up. They trespass into the closed-down building in order to dig up a time capsule they had buried at its courtyard. However, this turns out to be a mistake as bizarre monsters are waiting inside. There are five scenarios available, each one telling a different character's story, but only the protagonist's story is initially available.
It's actually close to a "sound novel", but it was released for ps1 so the volume is bigger than usual. There are couple European languages articles that show the glimpse of this weird weird horror game.
3. Reijuu - Twin Road 麗獣 ツインロード [960119] Apple Pie 1 2
The town of Jester is located near a spring, which is used both by humans from the town and the beast people from their forest village. For years, the two races co-existed in peace. But one day, somebody sets the Jester tavern on fire. The authorities arrest a young beast girl who happened to be in the town at that time. Outraged by the injustice, a young orphan boy named Kein, who was raised by Tyrone, one of the town knights, convinces him to help the girl escape. But that act draws the ire of the town authorities, and the heroes realize that they have to flee...
Some genre experiment here since it's more tactical than usual SRPG, but also definitely not a full strategy or rpg.
4. Snow Memory スノーメモリー [960123] Birdy Soft
Four girls pass the casting to work in a Western mansion. You choose one of the girls and watch the forecoming events from her point of view.
We know it well that even at the time of Cal 3 the staff of Birdy Soft left the company and the director had to hastily finish it himself. And Snow Memory comes years after that as an attempt to play on the brand name. Game's more than average with lots of fanservice and unnatural looking art.
5. Ryuuki Denshou Dragoon 竜機伝承 －ドラグーン－ [960126] KSS Inc. 1
Gods created humans in a paradise-like world. But as time passed they started to hate each other and fight among themselves. Gods sent a blue start that turned into a blue dragon on the ground. For three days and nights the dragon was burning out everything with a cleansing fire. As the flames disappeared, a huge lake was born. Dragon entered the lake with the words "I shall raise again when foolish struggle arises anew". However, as time passed, this dreadful event erased little by little from human memory.
North-East frontier, Northon. Young soldier Cedy meets a mysterious girl Miu and decides to help her get to her hometown on the other side of the world.
At the same time stripping the barriers of time Gods make their move again...
It's a SRPG with only event battles. First part is particularly difficult with the constant demand of restoration magic. Dangerous events happen one by one and we constantly need to escape so pace is good. In the second part the party gets scattered and our primary goal is to find Miu... but we kinda only find other party members and as the war with the empire breaks out Miu gets totally abandoned. Another inconsistency is that the empire villain minister after defeat jumps out with the cries "I've actually come from the future and I've half of my body mechanically modified!" and it was a pure magic fantasy world this far. Another irritating aspect is the inventory menu as first it's needed to pick an item from the full list of garments and then try to apply it to a character only to find out that it won't suit him. So it's a good game with a nice epic story, but some elements of it leave a sour aftertaste.
6. Shizuku 雫 [960126] Leaf 1 2 3 4
When one of his classmates suddenly goes mad in the middle of the class, the protagonists uncle, one of the teachers in the school asks him to investigate this matter after school. He starts the investigation with the help of one of the girls from his class, an investigation that will lead them to many horrors...
With my review there are three English reviews.
7. Star Trap スタートラップ [960126] Fairy Dust 1
A space ship was sent to the planet Neptune, to investigate strange disturbances spotted on the planet's surface. Some time later, the nearest space station picked up a SOS signal from the ship. An agent named Takuya, in command of an elite team of female fighters, is sent to Neptune. But their ship crashes, and Takuya must fight for his life and the lives of the girls, which are threatened by Neptune's fearsome monsters.
Alternative version of ancient Cream Lemon - Start Trap back in 1986. Game's short hardly reaching 2 hours. There are two routes, but routes are mainly made to distinguish between H events. The number of endings is 5, there is an ending for each of two girls and some neutral ones. So there's hardly a story, but at least it has the craziness of 80s games and beautiful CG.
8. Time Stripper Mako-chan タイムストリッパー真子ちゃん [960126] Foster 1 2 3 4 5 6
You play the character Shinji Nakayama a high school student who has a bad reputation of cheating on his girlfriend, Michiyo Sakagami.
The story starts when your "habit" is eventually found out (again) by your girlfriend, of which you start to fight and end up breaking up. In the middle of your 'sobbing', a girl pops up out of nowhere in your room. It appears she's from the future, with personal reasons that has to do with your present love-life situation. After that, the story is in your hands...
Game is localized and has many English reviews.
9. Yume no Sei 夢の精 [960126] 13cm 1
A collection of three stories.
1.『ONE』is about main character sneaking into the dressing room of cat ear idols.
2.『ミンキーキャット』is an abduction story.
3.『ミッションエイジ』is an RPG game to infiltrate enemy hideout and rescue a girl
Stories differ in styles greatly, but are all short erotic stories that are possible to click through in just 10 minutes.
10. Ningyo -Tsutako- 人魚－蘿子－ [96] Alicesoft
A boy and a girl run away with a mysterious stone and hide in a cave. But pursuers are nearby already.
Game was shipped only for subscription fans and thus is obscure. PC-98 version is not hookable, so I won't be presenting the synopsis. Game is all HCG fest after first couple normal CG.
Ryouki no Ori Dai 2 Shou and Rookies are the masterpieces of January. But Rookies is a more traditional story-focused visual novel with charming characters and lots of kind humor. Rookies is VN of January 1997.
1. Watashi 私 ～わたし～ [970110] Pearl Soft
Shizu is a shy high school student girl who wishes to change herself. One day day she gathers her will and starts acting. What she's gonna do?
Well, there are lots of branches in the game depending of who you choose to be with and at what circumstances. There are 24 endings overall, but a great majority of them are wasteful insulting ones. There is also a happy ending somewhere, but it won't be that easy to track.
2. Ryouki no Ori Dai 2 Shou 猟奇の檻 第２章 [970117] Nihon Plantech 1 2 3
A mysterious game that centered in a theme park. An accident happened three years ago has caused the theme park to be shut down (But is it truly an accident or a murder? You will find out as you go deeper into the game). Now the theme park reopens, and you are hired by Amano Miyukias (Fantagen's director) as one of the security guy that patrols around the park. Before you start working, you will be introduced to the theme park. There are six major areas around the park and one central area. In every area, there will be one girl that is in charge of the area. After the brief introduction, you will be able to meet all these girls around the park. Next day, you came into the park and patrols around the park. Everything just seemed to be fine, but you realized there are something wrong. You realized these girls are trying to hide something from you. You began to search what is going on in this mysterious theme park.
There are two English reviews for this game (one is actually for remastered version but still).
3. Jorou Gumo 女郎蜘蛛 [970124] PIL
A guy got a part time job with a very strange family. During the daytime, he can explore the house or sort documents. During the evenings, he gets to play rope tricks with the mother and two daughters. If he can survive and find out what's going on, he might end up happy with one of the girls.
Another H training SIM, this time with bondage as main theme... I could say, but actually it's a command selection ADV with SIM part only about bondage itself. So systems are simplified here. Moving on...
4. Shinsetsu Kamiya Ukyou ~Zouge no Tou~ 真説 神谷右京 ～象牙の塔～ [970124] Altacia
In 1985 fund regulation law was enforced and there are many companies that fall under its jurisdiction. You need to gain consent from one of such funds.
Yet another work in the series and there's nothing new to say, actualy. Work based on a true case and has lots of lawyer terminology in it. There's little drama in here - just professionalism in handling a case. This is an alternative version of part 2 of the series. The author stopped writing leaving series discontinued so these alternative versions appeared.
5. Viper-CTR ~Asuka~ ＶＩＰＥＲ－ＣＴＲ ～あすか～ [970124] Sogna 1 2
The sequel to the short VIPER-V10 story, Northern Lights, subtitled Asuka. The budding romance between Asuka and Captain is put to the test when Captain's sultry cousin Miki moves in with him. Captain's focus wavers...
There is an English review. CTR is the first Windows Viper game and it's a paradise for an eye - nearly every scene is animated and the flow goes without choices nearly till the end. There are three endings and the branches are very clearly drawn. I liked the game and only short length (50 minutes) prevents me from calling it a masterpiece.
6. Mix Candy 2 みっくすキャンディ２ [970131] Cocktail Soft
Fandisc containing screensavers, wallpapers and a short erotic story そして。。。as a part of the Erotic Baka Novel series.
Story is too short to remember.
7. Rookies ルーキーズ [970131] Umitsuki Production
Tsuyushi Kusabe describes himself as a detective. But he never got a request so he's been working on part-time jobs. On his 30th birthday he got a request to investigate narcotics circulation in an all-girls school. His girlfriend makes him promise that this is going to be the last case if he fails.
One of the last masterpieces of pc-98 era. Game has many cute girls and it's fun interacting with them, but this is hardly a gal game. The game is mostly about the 30-year looser protagonist and his rivalry with another similar looser who also got a request. The game has lots of animation and feels like a movie. It's not a coincidence that this company later spawned Jellyfish that's famous for fully animated works. The game has a catch phrase "dreams pave the way to the future" which belongs to hero's girlfriend at the time when she allows this immature looser to follow this investigation which feels very supportive and nice. Happy ending is difficult to reach even though story is a one-way road. Game has warm pleasant palette, good drawing, lots of fun scenes, but unfortunately can not be hooked.
8. Exciting Milk Dai 2 Wa エキサイティングみるく第 2 話 [97] Silence
Amon transfers to the same class as Kurumi. He's very moved by the fact that seaweed still exists in 20th century and is going to liberate it by animating it.
I got the impression that second part got even shorter, hardly reaching 10 minutes at all. Basically there's nothing in it but school lunch and then fighting the seaweed mutant. The story pretty much stays unfinished, but the direction is clearly seen now - our usual magic girl fighting beasts.
9. Last Message ~Saraba Itoshiki Hito Yo.~ ラストメッセージ ～さらば愛しき女よ。～ [97] FAB Communications
"Last Message" is a romance simulation of sorts with an odd twist: you love the girl, the girl loves you, and you have to dump her. 'You' in this case is a salaryman in his thirties rapidly climbing a corporate ladder, three months away from ending an assignment at the Kyoto office. Back home in Tokyo is a wife and kids; in Kyoto is a colleague/girlfriend with whom you started a passionate affair a year ago. The object of the game is to "break up with the love of your life beautifully."
No info, but there is a video showing the gameplay.
10. Last Message ~Sayounara Watashi no Aishita Hito~ ラストメッセージ ～さようなら私の愛した男～ [97] FAB Communications
"Last Message" is a romance simulation of sorts with an odd twist: you love the guy, the guy loves you, and you have to dump him. 'You' in this case is young professional woman born with a silver spoon in her mouth, three months away from marrying a rich, good-looking heir to a major fortune. The only snag in this convenient turn of events is a beloved boyfriend/colleague of one year, who loves you with his heart and soul. The object of the game is to "break up with the love of your life beautifully."
No info.
There are no masterpieces this month. My subjective choice for VN of the Month January 1998 is Machi - maybe it's the impact of 428 sequel. I've very difficult history with Divi-Dead as both times I tried it I fell asleep. No true ending is worth such boring gameplay. And I just can't appreciate dating SIMs without impact on story to evaluate Sentimental Graffiti properly.
1. Blood Seed 2 ブラッドシード２ [980114] Arkham Products 1
Space cruiser Triant 2 from the free planetary association established a primary contact with an unknown life form while executing its mission. An organism entered the ship and started to attack crew members. No weapons could kill it and the crew had to separate the hull of the ship and abandon it. Then the military ship found the drifting hull, but men were wiped out... First and second missions to annihilate the organism were miserable failures. The four remaining members of third mission had to destroy the ship by destroying it with missiles.
With that the incident was supposed to be over...
You actually play as the biological organism. You need to explore dungeons and evolve by absorbing girls. With raising levels even the toughest security robots stop being a problem. Game's pretty obscure.
2. Kuon 久遠 [980114] M'
Kuon used to study abroad, but now enters prestigious research academy in Japan on a secluded island. To pay his bills he starts a part-time job with one of campus facilities.
A fortune-teller appears before Kuon giving him meaningless prophecy and promising to meet again...
An obscure self-raising SIM. Every day you help out around the campus, do part-time jobs and meet girls. No idea where this all might be going since there is not a single review and there's no patience to get through a SIM game.
3. Pompom Pretty Parfait Okosamayou ポムポムプリてぃパフぇ お子様用 [980114] JAST
Hero is a college student. Before summer vacation he receives an e-mail from his father asking to manage one of the stores for two months. The store is actually a cafe with cute cosplay girls as waitresses. Will he succeed?
You start with four friends working as waitresses and one assistant manager. You need to determine the schedule, converse with waitresses and go on after work events. Each girl has parameters and each girl is only good for one-two jobs, not all of them. There are seven endings - one for each of four girls, one for assistant manager, one for ending up alone and one for failing in sales. The number of events with each girl is small and winning in sales competition during 2 months is quite challenging.
4. Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo: Hoshimitou Kanashimi no Fukushuuki 金田一少年の事件簿 星見島 悲しみの復讐鬼 [980115] Hudson Soft 1
The idol at the height of the popularity got involved in a scandal scandal. Idol manager Tachibana Yufu was searching for the truth of it and was found dead. The police asserted Yufu's death as suicide, but there were two people who had suspicions in that.
One was former idol and Yufu's best friend Katsuragi Yo and another one Yufu's fiance Takuya Asagiri. The two of them decided to take revenge at a leisure facility "Hoshijima" where the stakeholders gathered, but there was a also present a grandson of Kaneda detective Kanedaichi and his friends ..
The purpose of the game is to commit a perfect crime - a murder - and get away with that. It just has everything that I can't stand.
5. Private Garden プライベートガーデン [980115] Tetratech 1
A puzzle game where you move blocks to form an image of a guy or a girl using all the blocks. Easy as it sounds, there is little space given to move the blocks and if any block slips off the platform, you have to try again.
Do the puzzles and get HCG, easy as that. There is some kind of review.
6. Mix Candy 3 みっくすきゃんでぃ３ [980115] Cocktail Soft
Fandisc containing screensavers, wallpapers and a short erotic story 『性欲ロボゼツリンガー』 as a part of the Erotic Baka Novel series.
Story is erotic humorous one about one special robot.
7. Maigo no Kimochi 迷子の気持ち [980116] Foster
Naoto lives in a famous club that his mother owns, that's why Naoto is well known around the town. One day he sees his classmate Asami wondering around downtown and falling victim to nanpa. After listening to her circumstances Naoto hides Asami in his house.
It starts as if there is some meaning in the plot, but then you start to see H events at different places and start to set up your own, even with Asami, so story goes to the background. I still liked the system of moving around the map even thtough story is very linear and you need to go to exact one place each time to progress it.
8. Datenshi no Sumika 堕天使之住処 [980116] Apple Pie
At night, life force is drained by the fallen angels who live over hundred years ...
Put your hands inside the skirt of a girl and stimulate the petals. Girl trembles in treasure and collapses...
I don't consider it a visual game. Just some intro and H-scenes for each girl.
9. Machi 街 [980122] Chunsoft 1 2 3 4 5 6
Machi is a story of 8 unrelated protagonists, all with their own problems and objectives, all living in the Shibuya district of Tokyo, Japan. The story spans 5 in-game days and is told through a huge number of live-action still photographs. The protagonists are varied, including a high school playboy, a gamer geek police officer, a struggling actor, an ex-Yakuza man, a TV scriptwriter and many more. Each of the protagonists lead a completely different story that even defies genres, with one story having a lighthearted comedy style while another having a dark, ominous tone.
The player must play all of the stories in parallel, jumping across different protagonists, and backtracking to re-select branches which not only affect the active protagonist, but also other protagonists through often bizarre twists of causality.
Since its release in 1998, Machi has amassed a cult following among Japanese Sound Novel players, causing a yearning for a sequel for years which did not come to fruition until 2008 which had the release of the spiritual sequel, 428: Fusa Sareta Shibuya De.
There are good English reviews for it.
10. Sentimental Graffiti センチメンタルグラフティ [980122] STACK software 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
The protagonist, Tanaka Ichirou, is a high school student who, prior to the spring vacation of his third year, receives a letter simply stating "I want to meet you." During middle school, his frequent transferring of schools allowed him to form unique relationships with various girls. In order to search for the sender of the letter, he travels nationwide to various places, and meets the 12 girls of his memories once again.
Game has at least three English reviews and a lot of information in English

12. Dice Kiss [980123] Meifuru House Karen
It's two months before Xmas. The hero decided to find a girlfriend before Xmas.
Board game. You throw the dice and move to some field where some event should happen. There are five girls to clear. It's plain tiresome to wait till you roll a good choice for your girl. And the dice rolls very slowly...
13. Divi-Dead [980123] C's Ware 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
My name is Ranmaru Hibikiya. Today is my first day at Asao Private School...
My uncle is the dean of this school. About a month ago, he paid me a visit and offered me enrollment at his school. Seeing I've been out of school for a long time, I accepted his offer. What was the catch? He asked me to keep an eye out for him. Bluntly, I was to be his spy...No problem.
Well actually, there was a problem. Once I arrived, I started noticing some disturbing things. There was violence and misconduct happening on campus, not the usual past times at a private high school. As I got deeper into my investigation, I came across a possible correlation between an underground society and the unusual behavior of my peers. I realized that I could not trust ANYONE.
There's just one last thing...After transferring, sometime between all the sexual escapades happening on campus, and my investigation, something horrifying happened to me. I...
Join me in my quest to uncover the horrible secrets at Asao Private School.... and find out what fate holds for me...
Game is localized and has many English reviews.
14. Girigiri Paradise ぎりぎりパラダイス [980123] May-Be Soft 1
GiriGiri Paradise has a rather simple story: the protagonist, a teenager named Keiichi, is having a vacation. Together with three young, pretty girls (initially only friends of his), he goes on a journey, which ends in a small hotel on the sea shore. Exploring the surroundings and meeting local people (some of which are young, pretty girls as well!), Keiichi realizes that this trip is gradually turning into the busiest sex adventure of his life...
Game turns into erotic adventure very fast, so there's no real development besides H story. From time to time you have freedom to choose location just to encounter more H events.
15. Amandine アマンディーヌ [980123] Flare
Welcome to the world where imagination and reality mix together in a luscious image.
A total of 12 attractive girls with unique personalities wait for you to answer quizzes about them correctly.
Nothing fancy here, just quiz with HCG.
16. Mahou Shoujo Pretty Sammy ~Heart no Kimochi~ 魔法少女プリティサミー ～ハートのきもち～ [980129] Interchannel
Contains two stories: "Nazo no Shinheiki!? ~Codename wa Kirakira Rakuda~" and "Moero! Honou no Choco ~Valentine made ato 3 hi~"
An evil organization captured a mysterious secret ray weapon. Magical girl Pretty Sammy gradually gets involved in the incident.
Saturn exclusive for fans mostly. There's full voice and lots of animation.
17. Kau 飼 [980130] 13cm
Hero is a pharmacist who follows his father's steps who is a president of a pharmaceutical company. Of course, he's not interested in the current work. So in the end father suddenly requests a certain job from the hero - to train sex slaves for Tachibana play. What's with this play and why is he chosen trainer?
Training H SIM + AVG with twenty girls. Plot-less nukige.
18. Rashin 裸唇 RASHIN [980130] Pias
There was a strange woman in the castle I found in the forest. But I can not remember anything.
But why I have a sense of deceitfulness...
Mystery H adventure. Nothing is really explained. There are rooms and moving around triggers some girl H story. Each girl has two stories and two costumes. A normal nukige.
19. Seikimatsu Taimaden Tsumugi-chan SOS 世紀末退魔伝つむぎちゃん SOS [980130] Desire
Tsumugi-chan is a girl from a demonic master clan who lives in a mountain temple. While still being inexperienced, a difficult job came in for her one day - to investigate the seven wonders of the school and eliminate the evil contained there. An apprentice exorcist and psychic who can not control her abilities will help Tsumugi-chan to uncover the mystery hidden in the school!
Game's based on an ancient erotic manga and the contents is largely erotic plus some bakage.
Refrain Love 2 and Ikusa Megami are masterpieces of the month, but my preference goes to Ikusa Megami
1. Another ONE [990101] APPLE Project
Short story collection based on ONE visual novel. Stories depict feelings of girls after Kouhei Orihara leaves.
Main feature of this work is a music cd disk and nice illustrations. Stories deal with depiction of feelings rather than events.
2. DEBAG GAME 1-2-3 DEBAG GAME 1-2-3 [990101] LANGuex
A collection of three short stories created just to test vertical text layout and some some experimental features.
Really? It's worse than doujin.
3. Tutorial Game チュートリアルゲーム [990101] LANGuex
Short scenario that works as a tutorial of how the nbook engine differs from other game systems.
A student ends up teaching a young female teacher how to use computers. She has her own past to get over, though. Also, there's another teacher with his eyes on her.
Same as DEBAG GAME, but an attempt to make a bit longer story.
4. Ai-chan for Me ~Maid Choukyou Hen~ あいちゃん for Me～メイド調教編～ [990113] Ume Soft
Hero receives a letter from his friend inviting him to apply for a job in a mansion. There he meets three newly employed maids and chooses one of them to take care of his needs as man. The next day he is tasked by the mansion owner to train the same maid and he takes the job since he cares for the girl. Each girl has mental shackles and it depends on the main character whether the shackles are to be lifted or tightened.
Girl can be trained either in obedience or in love. Concept is same as SEEK, but realization is much weaker.
5. Higeki ~Nightmare Come True~ 悲劇 ～NIGHTMARE COME TRUE～ [990114] Saint
Hero is a medical student, the son of a hospital manager. One day he receives a letter with instructions how to insult each of his girl acquaintances. He attacks the girls one after another. What's the truth behind insult instructions?
Game progresses by choosing destination on the map. First insult is mandatory, next there are three girls to choose from - and depending on the order the story changes slightly. Game's also full of bugs which makes it a 100% kusoge.
6. Hotaru Mau Yoru 螢舞う夜 [990114] Aquarium
A girl left this world in an accident without confessing her true feelings. The following morning Yui Uchiura and his childhood friend witnessed the Poltergeist phenomenon and consulted with the shrine maiden. She suggested that they lived at the shrine till she found the way to release the spirit.
Instead of horror it turns out to be love comedy with two heroines. Game is very short and there are only three choices throughout it. Events take place during several days which follows by ending. There are multiple endings here. Even though the game is called night of fireflies it's a bit severe to show fireflies in the mids of the winter. Quite a crappy work.
7. Hunter [990114] Ast
New anti-cancer drugs raise metabolic abilities of human beings.
Although it is an effective medicine, it is difficult to control and experiments are being held on animals only. The experiment on a monkey finally showed good results, but it escaped the laboratory and now hero with a partner need need to find the species within a day.
There are three girl partners available to choose from. Game's about making tough decisions and surviving since you're constantly given choice of two options. Operation is mouse only which is very painful and text rendering is slow even on highest speed.
8. Jumoku Hime 樹木姫 [990114] Desire
While picking fruit and herb in a forest with his maid, our guy got hit on the head and tied under a sacred tree. When his secretary/bodyguard/wife found him, he had lost some of past two months memory. His first assassin suspects are his secretary and three maids. Later on, he found that either there is an assassin hiding in the forest or something strange is going on. Can he find out what in 10 days while loving one of the girls?
Multiple scenario suspense adventure. Quite engaging as long as intrigue persists. Graphics are nice, but nothing special. BGM is nice, but there's no voicing. Story is ok, but pales in comparison with better representatives of the genre.
9. Mori no Nyanko 森のにゃんこ [990114] Segue Laboratory
Cat-girl Kyoku Ran lives in the forest together with her mother. One day she gets on a tree in search of bird eggs and discovers a girl with wings on a tree. The girl does not remember her name, so Kyoku gives her name Kotori-chan. They start to explore this forest together.
The story has a lot of choices that lead to H events and bad endings as a result. And the image of forest inhabitants who violate other species is really scary. The work is mostly to enjoy clean cute pictures and full voicing.
10. Prostudent Good ぷろすちゅ★でんとGood [990114] Alice Soft 1
The time is 2005 in Japan. The world has received word that aliens shall invade Earth. Therefore, Japan set up a robot group called Yugoku to fend off the aliens when they come. However, eventually the aliens did not come, so Yugoku was all for nothing. Meanwhile, the Japanese government was totally corrupted, and Yugoku decided to use their robot army to overthrow the government.
There is an English review of the game.
11. Roommate W ~Futari~ ルームメイトW ～ふたり～ [990114] Datam Polystar
You've got a new roommate and not just one, but two! Greetings and salutations to Kaori and Yamaguchi.
This is a side-kick of the series. For the first time there is no Ryoko, but your roommate visits the same school as Ryoko did and she's referred to as "legendary sempai". This work also was only released for Saturn and has lower production values. One girl studies at school and the other one works as a nurse and thus she has night shifts all the time. Basically, you need to choose between them since you can't possible stay up 24 hours a day. This game feels inferior to prequels.
12. Seiiki ~Nageki no Usagi~ 聖域 ～嘆きのウサギ～ [990114] Mesa
Hero is invited to an isolated island prison camp to analyze a girl's psyche. The six prisoners who he is in charge for start to disappear one after another. Hero has to go through temptation and traps to unravel the mystery of the isolated island campus.
Exploration game moving around the same locations, gathering items and triggering events. There are hints when you get stuck and two big endings await as a prize. Every little mistake leads to a premature death. Story is ok if you like dark suspense.
13. Sweet Summer Dreamin' -Kono Natsu Yume Miru Musume-tachi- Sweet Summer Dreamin’ -この夏・夢みる娘たち- [990114] Shicchinmanpou
Hero gives a ride to gentleman walking across the bridge and gets an offer to work for him as a driver as a result. The gentleman turns out to be an enterprise chief, and working for him will get hero acquainted with many women from chief's entourage.
There are several fork choices determining whether we set up with some girl or move on with the story to discover new girls. Girl types vary a lot - there is a hostess, chief's wife, chief's daughter, daughter's friend etc.
14. Custom Reido カスタム隷奴 [990121] Kiss 1
Arisugawa high school is a prestigious girls' school well known around the world. Hero inherits from his uncle as the director of this school. The school turns out to be a slave training organization on a nationwide scale with a deep connections to the political and financial world. And it's main character's job to fulfill all kind of custom slave requests.
Just the SEEK training type, but game series has become very famous because it allowed user extensions. That's really all I care to know about this series.
15. True Love Story 2 トゥルーラブストーリー2 [990121] ASCII Corporation
The protagonist has just been moved with his sister Kimiko to a new town, due to the sudden transfer of their parents. Suddenly, a bunch of girls arrive in his life: his childhood friend, a tomboy, a clumsy junior, a silent classmate... Love has arrived to his life.
Prequel was mostly notable by "walking home" sideview system and that remains intact. Instead for seasons now there are three semesters and each semester has its own cd, so the number of events increased greatly. Number of heroines decreased to four main and two limited time ones. Heroines characters are quite realistic. One play-through is about 4 hours, but replay-ability is great.
16. Hiiragi Sou ~Onaji Yane no Shita de~ ひいらぎ荘～同じ屋根の下で～ [990122] Pias 1
The story is actually about you the player trying to take the deed of the house for this "mysterious boss" guy. The only way to gain the deed and have the girls move out is to go undercover. And this is where your job comes in...
There is an English review for this game.
17. Yureru Omoi ~Triangle Love Story~ ゆれる想い～Triangle Love Story～ [990122] Air Field
Kotaro Hito is a student who left Kobe for Tokyo alone to enter university. He has left the girl of his love interest in Kobe but in Tokyo there even more temptations. The love story over two cities begins now.
Fresh feature is that we get to choose our university specialization but that usually only affects the ending. Game takes a period of three months and we should take decisions for each day of it. There are 8 heroines and as many as 52 endings (basically each heroine multiplied for each occupation). Events are placed loosely and there can be the time that there's a whole month without events. Even though the game is called "love triangle" there is no special emphasis on two main heroines - everyone is equal. So it's a very painful, cheap, generic game with opening theme being its strongest side.
18. Tokimeki Check-in! ときめきCheck in! [990124] Crowd 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
Takayuki Yamano is a boy who simply wishes to break away from his family's tradition, running Yamano Inn, which is a hot spring resort where the most beautiful girls come from miles around for vacation time. One could easily question his sanity, as did his employers. Being rejected for the millionth time, he sadly returns to Yamano Inn to work as manager/butler. You've got three days to choose to follow and woo the girl of your choice.
Game is localized and has English reviews.
19. Refrain Love 2 リフレインラブ2 [990128] Riverhill Soft inc.
In April hero decided to move to Sakurazaki Town to enter university there. He rents a room in Scarlet Hall apartments. These several months he will spend together with his university colleagues and other boarding house members.
Another quality species among galge. One distinctive feature is that age is set much higher than usual. Another one is that standing sprites are animated... that's a very refreshing view. Unlike first old work SIM elements are excluded so can play without restraint. That all and lovely heroines create lots of charm for this work.
20. Chiruhana ~Kindan no Ketsuzoku~ 散櫻 ～禁断の血族～ [990129] 1
Your uncle dies, and you investigate his mysterious manor.
I've prepared a full review.
21. Datenshi 堕天使 [990129] Noise
Minoru Nagata is hit by a car and regains consciousness at the edge of hell. The mysterious voice tells him to obtain the "proof of life" that an angel has if he wants to return to the Earth. However, the maze of hell is inhabited by strange monsters and and the angel would not surrender without a fight as well...
We start in front of several portals containing various monsters, but eventually find the portal to the apartment where some girl lives. She jumps to the hell portal trying to run away from the hero and their weird adventures at hell begin. Apart of that it's very close to the previous game Daite. Wrong moves lead to premature game over, right moves bring continuation with new weird situations.
22. Ikusa Megami 戦女神 [990129] Eushully 1 2 3 4 5
Celica Sylphil obtained the body of a goddess by slaying her. As a result, he was chased by gods and nations, and hunted by assassins until the ‘water miko’, the guardian saint of the holy nation of Rewinia. During the Battle of Dounel, he lost almost all of his divine power while defeating the evil dragon Aracale. Rewinia was saved, but he had become a soul-less female body.
Before he had time to recover his wounds, the ‘water miko’ requested that he head to the Rerun area to investigate the disappearance of the princess of Rewinia 18 years ago. Following the Rewinian order of knights who had left before him, he arrived to find a giant labyrinth. Will he be able to uncover the truth and regain his lost power?
Game has English reviews.
23. Mahjong Mokushiroku まあじゃん黙視録 [990129] West Gate
Shinichi Sakurai is the protector of justice of mahjong world. One day the general of mahjong world is overthrown by a group of assassins, and the Mahjong Federation announces the world mahjong martial arts festival as a retaliatory measure in order to eliminate the soldiers of the back mahjong world. Of course hero gets an invitation letter as well.
What a pile of crap of a plot. As usual, there is story mode and just mahjong mode. The reviews are very displeasing. That's as far as my investigation goes.
24. Zenjidou Saishuu Shori Ningyou Kururu-chan 全自動最終処理人形クルルちゃん [990129] A2
Near future. Inventor created three automatic muppet dolls. There story starts as a boy and a girl find them.
This is a bakage with 15 patterns of scenarios to unfold. Stories are vertical text and rakugo style, so that's an amusing read, but hard to do sequentially. There's lots of H-events as well.
25. Gray Judge [990130] Sorciere
Near future where security structures are privatized. Sakura Genichiro works for a microscopic police company. He will resolve incidents together with his female companions.
There are four different cases to resolve. There is an ending for each of five heroines, but not all of them are available from the beginning. Story tries to be hard boiled, but lacks tension for it. There is no integral line, so after four different cases it's an abrupt end - very disappointing.
There's a big change since 2000. From now on I'm starting to block visual novels by certain criteria (fandisk, nukige, shounen ai, yaoi, antology, demo, non-Japanese, EVN, otome, doujin) which means I'll still note them at the back of the post, but will only provide a synopsis, an opening song and review links where possible. But there is also a good news - I'll be making reviews and video walkthroughs of at least one route from the games of the month.
Gensou no Artemis, Lien ~Owaranai Kimi no Uta~ and Treating 2U are the masterpieces of the month. And VN of the Month January 2000 is Lien ~Owaranai Kimi no Uta~. That's a very solid start of the year.
1. Kurayami Zaka no Ie 暗闇坂の家 [000101] h.m.p
Afterwar Tokyo. There is a hill called "dark slope". There is an old house where master is missing for 18 years already. Women in the house still know nothing of that mysterious disappearance. That is the beginning of the story about serial killer.
First of all, it's 3D as well as other h.m.p. games. It's a mystery solving game and gameplay is mostly exploring old buildings. I tend to block 3D if it has sexual content and h.m.p. used to be eroge creator, but neither the box, nor reviews mention sexual content presence (there is a scene of bathing in a tube), so should be safe to leave it here.
2. Innocent na Tenshi-tachi INNOCENTな天使たち [000114] For
Main character had just entered university when he got hit by a car. He recovers in the hospital and only joins the study from Autumn. School director's daughter gets raped and the whole campus gets into a chaos. Suspicions arise everywhere. Main character gets to assist in the investigation. What awaits hero at the crossroads of his life? Please, please open the door of your heart to these heroines.
There are five heroines. All girls have some secrets and troubles of the past. One route takes less than an hour. There are some bad endings in addition to good ones. It looks like a detective story, but detective element is too thin - it's a normal romance game. And it can be enjoyed as one.
3. Rasen Kairou 螺旋回廊 [000114] Age
Yuuzi Saeki, is an assistant teacher at a university. His students convince him to buy a computer and he buys an expensive one even though he knows nothing about how to use them. While learning how to operate it, he finds a link to a website called Eden. Visiting there he sees that its about abducting girls, rape and worse... And the site claims that they take personal orders...
I know this is a nukige, but this is Age! Same Age that made Muv-luv and what not! So I'm curious here. First of all, there is an intrigue of who actually is the puppeteer - the truth shows up only gradually. Secondly, it's not that much of an erotic work, it lacks eroticism. Thirdly... some claim this game to be the originator of pure devil games ... something that even SEEK games could not achieve. Here there's no training, no evolution, no ultimate good goal... just pure darkness and destruction that's getting deeper and deeper. The strangest thing in all that is that main character is not some student, but a proper professor, so these desires look quite silly on behalf of such man. Age must be real geniuses in everything they are doing.
4. Seishin Hakai Kanketsuhen 精神破壊完結編 [000115] unknown
An adventure game that takes place 600 years after the events of the first Seishin Hakai
The stage is underground research center. Main character is the inventor. This time we can either prioritize mystery or just chase afte the girls, it works both way. Game is also free and leaves bad aftertaste.
5. Faustus ~Megumareshi Mono~ ファウスタス ～恵まれし者～ [000119] Gipsy
An ancient magician had the knowledge to resurrect with a ceremony. That awakening triggered a magical war involving the whole world. Magicians of the old stood up to protect humanity. Nowadays news reporter Merlin discovers the ancient secret of resurrection and awakens Simon the Magus and the vicious circle repeats itself. Will humanity survive?
Simon the Magus is actually the real protagonist of the story. The selling point of the game is magic battles. You get a magical grimoir and five different colored sources of mana. Developers promise 300 different magical spells in our repertoire. There's no real tutorial or explanation so it gets quite difficult even for native speaker. Game has trouble installing since it does not recognize partitions over 2gb. Since there's close to zero chance that someone finishes here's the spoilers: magicians are actually aliens from planet of Eden. They depleted mana resources from their star and came to Earth. They actually created atmosphere from lava as well as living creatures and finally mankind. Simon the Magus was the bearer of "festus" title eventually decided to get rid of the mankind and their eternal vices. Such mages as Drakula, Merlin, Pharaoh opposed that decision since not all people were evil. They sealed Simon the Magus, but could not find the concealed by Simon mothership "arc" and their power was fading. But new enemy Noah appeared, so magicians collaborated to oppose him. Phew, at least we're not gonna kill humans in the game. And even that's not the end since afterwards Merlin gets completely insane trying to destroy the world and the mother ship "ark" altogether. Story is as muddy as this. Actually the story is only explained in the end and most of the time there's no idea what's going on. Five bosses are females and that's the main source of H scenes, mostly with tentacles.
6. Onikiri-den 鬼斬伝 [000121] Jupiter
Thousands years ago a great demon was defeated. That demon appears again in modern time. Momotaro's reincarnation Momota set off to defeat the evil again.
An adventure quiz game with a story featuring familiar characters from old japanese tales. What a weird game. Success on fighting the demons depends on the timed answers to the quizzes... Famous characters like Kaguya Hime don't really add the appeal. Game's quite short as well, some 4 hours length.
7. Gensou no Artemis 幻想のアルテミス [000127] Shoeisha 1
The game takes place in Ikoma Aku Torres Actress School where different girls go to grow their perfomance abilities, and one night when a performing is taking place the owner of the school jump off a roof to the death. The police think that is just a suicide, but the motive is still a mystery, so the people on charge of the school decide to hire a private detective (Kiyouiti Kusakabe) to make an investigation. So when they hire him they decide that he enters the school as a new instructor in the academy. That's when the game begins.
Player takes the role of a detective that has to investigate a murder in an actress school, the game at the beginning let the player choose between 5 different girls to help him in his investigation, each of them got a different story and the game will go in a different way depending of that choice, and also the ending. The main part of the game is to solve the case but during the investigation the player will also talk to different people and girls and there is a chance of a possible romance with any of them, so the game is also a dating simulation. Glad to see that Lipstick ADV conception is alive and having an assistant on you side is really the best way to get to know the girl. Quite a quality galge. Good masterpiece call.
8. Forever My Love - Kimi o Wasurenai Forever My Love・君を忘れない [000128] F&C
Hero had a dream of studying abroad in an international academy and now his dream comes true. Meet you new acquaintances and use card conversation system for communication.
Card conversation system is not intuitive and not really a good idea. Girls are anime-style and too aggressive. No really attractive girls. No skipping allowed. Otherwise it's a dating SIM below the standard level.
9. Hakutou 魄冬～はくとう～ [000128] Zenos
Our guy wants to move out of his home town into the big city. Before he can do that, he has to do a five day husband and wife ceremony with his childhood girl on new years day. This ceremony comes from the tragic legend of two sisters, their childhood guy and another nasty guy. Can he successfully complete this event, free some spirits and find love at the same time?
The atmosphere of Sengoku is not bad, but the actual "tragedy" is too light. Actions of characters look spontaneous. The structure is looped with the past events, but there's still no satisfactory explanation. There are too many symbols with real persons almost pushed to behind. Multiple choices open up with additional playthroughs. Game lacks excitement and feels unfinished in many ways.
10. Kaseki no Uta 化石の歌 [000128] Age
The Protagonist and his sister are brought to a mansion by a catgirl. The mansion lady lets him stay, but he has to work as a doll trainer. He trains created females in virtual worlds. His own world doesn't seem all that real either, with all those maids, the lady and weird mansion owner. Can he regain his lost memory and figure out what's going on? Well such synopsis would be blocked for some unknown company, but we're talking about "Age" here - is it new Nocturnal Illusion? Setting is unusual. Distant future where the whole galaxy is inhabited, but interstellar trade fell into dysfunction and there are a lot of abandoned colonies. Decadent atmosphere prevails.
Game period is one week, and we indeed have to raise doll girls. We enter virtal spaces and look for pieces of memory. The atmosphere is good and graphics is very beautiful and there are a lot of well thought details. But... in he end it's just a museum eroge. The amount of text is thin. Unlike ordinary museum eroge, difficulty level of clearing is high and getting to true ending is troublesome. Setting is difficult to grasp, but there does not seem to be any good consistent story here.
11. Larentia ~Netsujou no Miyako~ ラレンティア ～情熱の都～ [000128] Nikukyuu
Julius is an aspiring adventurer visiting port city of Genoa in Larentia region. The city is prospering and thus there is a constant shortage of manpower. Julius answers the call to make a name for himself over three years.
Training SIM + realtime action battles. It is also possible to hire up to four mercenary heroines participate in battle. Action part is quite well done and there can be up to some 70 people on the screen. But there is literally no main storyline. Just take on missions and develop relations with the mercenary girls. If you ok with that, it's a very entertaining game.
12. Lien ~Owaranai Kimi no Uta~ Lien ～終わらない君の唄～ [000128] Purple 1 2
When I regained consciousness, it seemed I had died. At first, experiencing things as a spirit (like, going through things) was somewhat fun, but I soon got a grip on myself. Well, what to do now. It looks like a wild dream, but it's not as if I feel resentment or pain. I don't feel the necessity to achieve anything either. Even after becoming a ghost, I commute to school as usual. Days pass by nonchalantly, but those days are forever lost to me. Yet, even after having passed away, I'm remaining here. People I interacted with. New memories. A frozen flow of time. A running flow of time. In-between, I am in those maidens' everyday.
There's a great English review of this game.
13. O-Hanabatake no Flore お花畑のフローレ [000128] Kuroneko-san Team
New title in Magic Witch Parfait universe. The story is about Furetre, Parfait and Lennett who are 11 years old and like growing flowers. Grow over 50 different varieties of flowers with them!
Eeew... PASS. Opening is good as usual.
14. Oumagatoki no Kioku 逢魔ヶ刻の記憶 [000128] Black Package
Main character heads mystery research club and loves walking around the school exploring various mysteries. It's not an official club, but student council turns a blind eye on it. One day hero gets caught in the middle of ridiculous incident because of exploring...
Back at old times Black Package was making decent games instead of nukige. There is both visual novel and gameplay item search parts. H events only start massively since the second half. Scenario-wise it's very fragmentary and messy. It's not explained why all girls love hero already. Hero actions are also very spontaneous - he can start attacking just because of a small reprimand or just because of situation like seeing a crouching girl.
15. Rose or Lose [000128] Ciel
Sawaki summoned an angel Rose and a devil Lose by chance. They are about to destroy the world, but agree to set a condition that the world could be saved if Sawaki found a lifetime partner in the remaining 5 months. The world's fate is in your hands!
Raising SIM with six girls. Make a schedule for a week and trigger events on maps, common stuff. Synopsis is very stupid, but text is ok. Graphics is as if came from shoujo game. But price is low so it's a good cost efficiency for lovers of such kind of games. At least Ciel dropped its initial nukige style and working towards more neutral games.
16. Ryuuki Denshou 3 竜機伝承3 [000128] KSS Inc.
Knight defeated an evil dragon, but his shrine maiden lover also died as a result. Now the devastated lover gathers forces to conquer the world.
Hero is an adventurer who is requested to investigate the circumstances of northern fort destruction overnight. I think I only touched first part since I could not find any text information on the second part. As a longstanding tradition SRPG part here is akin to previous parts, very simple and in squares. The hero party can include at least 6 people in it. Story is solid, but I don't feel confident to discuss it.
17. Tenshi no Hina 天使のひな [000128] Bell-Da
Hero lost parents, but inherited huge assets at his age of 19 years old. He got lots of attention from all kind of people and withdrew to the villa where he contracted an incurable disease capable of killing in few months. At that time a woman who claimed to be the manager of deceased parents came to the villa. She brought a big egg saying that she was an angel born from the egg and now she would grand hero one wish...
Not sure what's with the wish, because girl just gets to live with hero for several days... Quite sad to see Bell-Da falling for nukige as well. It's not just H though, there are some parameters and some planning to do. There's also a clicking game so that noone dies out of boredom, but there's still a good possibility of it.
18. Treating 2U [000128] Blue Gale 1 2 3
Tsutsumi Inosuke is a musician who makes his living by working at a convenience store. But his life changes when he’s taken to a hospital because of a cold and is told to stay at the hospital. There, he meets many people including a small boy, his mother, the nurses, and other people at the hospital…
There's an English review for this game.
19. White Angel [000128] light
Hero lives along in the house. One day he goes from school with childhood friend Ichigo when his cousin Aya and maid Karen suddenly push into living with him. And feeling the warmth of relations he starts to recover memories sealed in the past...
There are six heroines with one playthrough about 2-3 hours. There's a constant feeling that it lacks uniqueness and it's been already before. There is a feature of stories composing in the game and downloading plug-ins via the internet, but it's a bad excuse to disregard the story.
20. White ~Setsunasa no Kakera~ White ～セツナサのカケラ～ [000128] NekoNeko Soft
That winter, and those women he met...
First of all, character design (especially in CG), composition and structure looks very much alike Kanon, but story-wise game tries to differentiate from Kanon as much as possible. Period is some 18 days. There are five heroines. It's a quality warm galge with a good scenario. But masterpiece level needs something to stand out.

Yaoi
I consider Renaissance , Yougen Tennyo and Vampirdzhija Vjedogonia to be masterpieces of the month, but chuuni always wins.
1. Renaissance [010112] JIN
Koji is a would be artist, living alone under his aunt's, who is a genius in Art, support. He hates his father because he didn't take care of his mother when she was sick. His father tries to repair their relationship and Koji's hate starts to thaw and decides to go back to Tokyo to enter a university. However, it seems that triggered by his decision, mysterious incidents start to happen around Koji....
Watercolor graphics and special language are the features of this work. I don't like the structure here as we need to choose our next day activity each evening, and if school is chosen, there's the need to choose lessons to attend as well - I believe such structure hurts narration. As for language, it's so called intellectual and exquisite. As a result, much is not explained and should be guessed. The great thing about the story is that even though routes are seemingly unrelated, all the stories get together in the end. Game is of masterpiece level, but not for everyone due to specific language.
2. Fuuraiki 風雨来記 [010118] FOG 1 2 3
In Fuuraiki the player controls a photographer that got an assignment to take the ferry to Hokkaido region and there he will start a journey in which he will take photographs of places and will meet different kind of people (most of them girls).

Contributions to a writing assignment await the reporter at the end of each day which requires suitable photos taken during the day and an online bulletin board is available for making contact with the home office.

3. Angelic Concert エンジェリック コンサート [010119] Success 1
You're a DJ, if DJ's existed in the medieval magical setting that the story is based on, who happen to be the 'music' behind the voice of the main character. Now, her aim in life is to aim higher in her musical career by entering the Angelic Concert. The winner receives fame, fortune and adventure on the short but well-drawn way to the concert.
The game mixes AVG-style text with musical minigames.
Not even going to look at this child game.
4. Cheerio! ちぇりお! [010119] Tactics 1
Our main character is a senior in high school. He's a student studying his hardest to get into the same big city-high class university as his girlfriend, who is one year ahead of him.
A high school student and a college student. The big city and the country. Because of their different situations and the distances involved, they are slowly drifting apart. Around our main character, we have inseparable relationships with girls, cute cousins, a quiet class mate, and a new clumsy teacher. With these natural relationships with these girls, our hero could not help but feel that the rift between him and his girlfriend is mending.
Story oriented game, but I don't like the format. The period is long (about half a year), there's the need to pass qualification tests each month. Heroines do not have a distinctive individuality. After all, for me it's a game with graphics being the only appeal point.
5. Five Years [010119] Air Plants
Five years after school main character becomes a suspect in a murder case after return from overseas. The group of his school friends offer cooperation in resolving the case to clear his charges. But as investigation approaches the core, it becomes evident that one of the friends is the culprit.
There are almost no choices concerning investigation. The composition of the incident and the suspense are weak. Much more attention is paid to heroines and especially to flashback memories. There is basically just one H event at the end of each heroine route. So not a bad game, just weak in most sections.
6. Kaiun Sentai Miko Sanranger Revenge 開運戦隊 巫女サンレンジャーりべんじ [010119] Aqua House
"Seifuku Master" organization is dismissed, and colonel An-an travels to a foreign country to wrap things up there. At that time one of the Miko-san Rangers attacks the base to avenge her comrades. "Seifuku Master" gets hastily restored, and the new spiral of confrontation begins.
I refuse to look into this bakage all over again.
7. Moonlight Sonata [010119] eclair
A country torn by war. Adventurer Rian walks around it earning his living with swordsmanship skills. He meets a mysterious girl Lilu. What's hidden in her past and what adventures await them?
Oh wow, orthodox fantasy is a rare guest in visual novels. The background of the main character is not explained, so it takes time to get involved in the story. There is not much of the story from the start, basically we just choose icons of new girls on the map and start travel with more and more girls. Individually heroines aren't developed much as characters, but each one has her ending, and that's the gist of the game.
8. Tentama てんたま [010125] KID 1
Tentama tells the story of an angel in training that to become a full angel. He has to visit Hayasegawa Shiina and his schoolmates and helps him to be happy, and to do that he has to find a girlfriend in this adventure dating interactive game.
In this game, Kid introduced a very interesting system, where you can see the Tentama world from different characters' perspective and their thoughts/feelings at the moment. The player will see most of the time the world from Hayasegawa Shiina perspective, and the angels just tell him if the girls like him or not. The main female character of the game is Enoki Rikako, a first year highschool student that goes to the same highschool as Shiina. She hates ghosts. If the player wins Rikako-chan's heart, he will unlock an omake scenario for Eri-chan that will tell Eri-chan's side of the story.
The number of characters is large, but many routes feel just unnecessary. The core routes are well done. A cheerful school slice with loli-like heroines.
9. Yougen Tennyo 妖幻天女 [010125] Scoop 1
Prince Raziel is the successor to the demon throne, but his interests vary wildly from whatever his father keeps in stock, not to mention actual marriage. When his soon-to-be fiancée turns out to be an angel - a mortal enemy of the demon kind - Raziel takes a liking for the girl and decides to make her his bride, much to Demon King's disapproval. After a heated argument, king promises to approve of their relationship, but only if Raziel manages to bring her back to the demon realm. Clueless on how to begin, prince Raziel joins forces with his ever profit-hungry childhood friend Rosetta and together they embark on a fantastic journey through mystical realms, full of glorious dickings and endless hopes for treasure troves ready to be taken. In this realm, your future half is revealed through divination, the rest does not seem to matter that much. In order to reach the heavens above, our duo has to traverse through Hell and obtain four elemental stones, which will allow them to open a magical portal leading to the mortal plane. From there onwards, they will have to pass through the Machine Country and Country of the Beasts, before they reach entrance to heavens. A seemingly simple task, if not for the fact the stones are being kept away within four great towers and each of them is supposedly protected by a powerful guardian. Obviously, the stones themselves contain tremendous powers that allow it's bearer to control the elemental energies and as such, shouldn't ever fall into anyone's hands, especially demon. No one really knows what lies beyond the mortal gates, but they're confident to push onwards. Such is their fate.

10. Aoi Tori ~L'Oiseau Bleu~ 青い鳥～L’Oiseau Bleu～ [010126] Panda House
Main character suddenly leaves his town and returns to his home town Haraiso. There he meets his childhood friend girl Nagi. Together they travel to the dream-like world to chase blue birds of their dreams.
Story is quite abstract, it's rather a set of relatively comical stories loosely connected with reality. When one dream develops to the middle of it - there is shift to next dream and so on. Game is similar to previous creation SPARK in absurdity and flow, so evaluation is difficult.
11. Card of Destiny [010126] Abel Software 1
This is a battle between 2 countries in the middle of an unbearable war.This takes place in an old continent called Recena.
The 2 countries: 1. ROANA... A country whose people believe in the god of charity. 2. VOLD ... A country whose people believe only in power. They are plotting to rule the entire continent with their powerful army. The people have been demanding for someone to appear to declare an ending to this unbearable turmoil. A boy from the ranks comes and makes that stand. Art had always dreamed of becoming a knight. He makes his dream a reality in order to bring peace back to the world... With its multiple dream-like colors, this RPG game is the first piece of work to be released in the 21st century in digital animation. This highly polished system has been developed for unlimited potential in strategies.Depending on the way you fight, you'll enjoy going up against a stronger enemy than yours on equal terms. Furthermore, by fulfilling certain conditions, one is able to acquire a special "Layer Card", which really makes the 2nd and the 3rd game exciting to look forward to. Because different original artists, and illustrators drew the pictures of characters and the cards themselves, the quality of the computer graphics is remarkably clear.This is one card game that you'll really enjoy, with its beautiful girls.
Well I like Abel Software, but this is again some weird genre mix, mainly a 3D dungeon type RPG with card battles. The encounter rate is obnoxiously high, and whatever advantages game may have is crossed out by these battles at every third step.

"What is on the other side?" he asks himself. There seems to be some connection between the history of the Amaba Family and their grip over the town of Hirano from way back...
First half is comical while working in the mansion with maids and occasionally triggering H events. The second one is serious after the identity of the mysterious girl is revealed. Ending is quite painful. Game with a good atmosphere.

The last school weeks of three boys and three girls. Soon they will be blown apart. But while there is still time, there's a perfect opportunity to create memories for the future.
Surprisingly ordinary setting for Ripe. Development is sluggish as there are few chances to talk with the girls. Only after Christmas party it's finally possible to hit after one of the girls. Scenario writer lacks the ability to explain. Heroine ending is quite sweet, but the other two heroines automatically get bad ending. Scenario is thin and lacks excitement.

1. Princess Knights [020111] Mink 1 2 3 4
In a kingdom faraway… the royal family was dethroned overnight by its own general. The king tried to escape with his son, whereas the princess who was left behind was captured by the enemy. Alone, the general gave chase and managed to catch up to the king and the prince. The king fought the general, telling the prince that he had to run away, otherwise he’d be killed and the lineage of dragon would be eliminated. When the prince hesitated to run away, the king was mortally struck… and used his last energy to teleport the prince elsewhere, so that he was saved from the general.
The prince was found by a girl and her father, and was nursed back to health. However, everything that happened had crippled his spirit, and he didn’t have any wish to go and reclaim his kingdom. He was content to live with the girl and her father. But the general’s soldiers were still looking for him. One day they happened upon the house, and the girl’s father tried to protect the prince… and was killed. Before the soldier could go and kill him and the girl, he unleashed a power which killed all of the soldiers. This power was something he had for being of the dragon lineage, and is not something he could freely control. Afterwards, they buried the girl’s father… and the girl begged him to travel together. She wanted to get revenge for her father. Soon after, girls from various places and status joined him in his quest to reclaim the kingdom… to ultimately fulfill an old prophecy. Because there was an old prophecy that said that when the kingdom was in peril, it will be saved by someone of the dragon lineage and his queen….

When he attends the mansion, there is a maid who claims to be here to handle his engagement and five girls that are prepared by father for his son...
There is both pure love and devil route for each girl, but both feel half-baked. Story is comical, with a good tempo.
5. Exor ~Maria no Yurikago~ EXOR ～マリアのゆりかご～ [020125] Digi Anime

It's not a SIM, just the girl you teach the most gets an ending. There is some comedy. Every girl follows the same pattern, so it becomes boring very fast.

Some strange side scroller view RPG with wide use of animation in H scenes. Battle system is very easy, but there's almost no story, so there's little satisfaction as RPG.
7. Mei☆Puru めい☆ぷる [020125] 1 2 3

The robot maid will react different depending of the player choices and he can also choose to go to the town and make different activities with her.
Pure love game with very carefully drawn characters. But despite heroic work of voice actors, game is desperately boring.

An adventure novel set in a medieval European fantasy world. A remote village in engulfed in war flames.

There he finds and breaks a mirror, which is followed by a dream of a woman who lost her mind and wore girl clothes. Mysterious incidents start to happen from that point. What secret is sealed in maiden that came to his dream?

3. Komorebi no Namikimichi 木漏れ日の並木道 [030124] F&C FC01
You play as Kouichi, who lost his wife years ago. The game places you in a love story involving six girls.

4. Marginal マージ ～MARGINAL～ [030124] White Clarity

Thus, he goes to the village thinking that the house is abandoned, but he finds that five maids live there. Soon, another maid who came from the woods joins them. Shio starts living with them at the house and thus, his new life begins...
Game is notable for having the same scenario writer who wrote Kuon no Kizuna, and he's the only thing that saves this game with a horrible synopsis. He tones down eroticism and develops relations extensively. There's a week for common route, then individual routes begin. All the mysteries are only revealed in the final Marge route.
5. Tenohira o, Taiyou ni てのひらを、たいように [030124] Clear 1 2

First route is automatic bad end, then can make positive choices for one of heroines. Pure heart and friendship are main motives. If you can tolerate loli characters and nostalgic atmosphere, it can be enjoyable.

Here, the protagonist wakes up and introduces himself as a transfer student who moved from Tokyo to his uncle's home in town Mihatoya City about three months ago, in early March. His uncle and aunt are currently out of Japan.
There's no plot, so writers are given full freedom. Because of different writers approaches, routes vary in quality greatly. Might be the first attempt to produces such combiner visual novel.
8. Snow [030131] Studio Mebius 1 2
The story of Snow starts when the main protagonist Izumo Kanata visits a small village called Ryujinmura (village of the dragon god) to help his cousin Tsugumi manage a local hotel with hot springs. In the village there is an old legend: In ancient times, the village is protected by the dragon goddess. However, one day the dragon goddesses fell in love with a human, which is strictly forbidden, and this incident finally caused the village to be always covered by snow after that. The game then tells the daily life of the protagonist in the village, and finally links the story to the legend of dragon goddess.
There aren't many nakige up to this point, so nakige are being compared to main Key's works. And it that regard Snow looks like a degraded verson of Kanon/Air. The tear is squeezed by killing treasured for so long heroines, and even the True Snow scenario that's supposed to lift the sadness, does not really live up to expectations.
9. Tokidoki Sugar ときどきシュガー [030131] Xuse

He hates to inherit parents tea ceremony business, but just can't think of what else he can do. However, surrounding girls are able to inspire his heart. Sometimes sweet, sometimes clumsy pure love story unfolds in this quiet countryside.
Basically a game about solving five girls' problems. Atmosphere is good, but scenario is lacking. H events are rather frequent (at least 2 times per herone), long and dark for pure love story.

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. One night, he sees a ray of light floating in the sky. This marks his encounter with a mysterious girl called Eon. She starts living with him, and together they discover the true magic of the city they live in...
Game was sold for some 1k yen which is some 1/9th of the full price. Game starts with a calm, proceeds with depression, but ends pleasantly with a nice aftertaste. The story of a boy who struggles to play piano is less impactful than Planetarian, naturally. Basically, game is of higher quality doujin level.
2. Answer Dead [050114] Kuro LiLiM
Main character is a weak quiet student who is bullied at school. But one day he meets a girl who wakes up Black King soul sleeping in him. The White King quickly notices the rival appearance and sets control over the school with the help of magic. The school grounds turn into blood bath, and the royal battle approaches.
Looks like my kind of game. Shooter tag scares to an extent, but it can't stop me. Definitely reviewing it.
3. Sonic Dive ソニックダイヴ [050114] Software House Parsley
Although "Mugen no Meikyu" series was the contents of a game by which an enemy and an ally act by turns in the turn system, it is that it is changed into the action RPG by real time until now. "level "which geographical feature changes" makes still common the characteristic rule 1 to" with the previous work. Since Laila of a previous work "Sonic Princess" will mainly fight with an enemy by the elated magic which serves as a female hero, unlike action using an old sword, it becomes a colorful battle using magic. The whole atmosphere has taken in atmosphere like On-line MMORPG. For example, a character will also change Gurafikku, if a dress, arms, accessories, etc. are changed. A previous work also changes colorfully even to a dress this time, although the graphics of arms or a shield were changing. Since a hero is a woman, new items, such as a swimming suit, a sailor suit, and nurse dress, also appear.
This whole series is much more about RPG, that visual novel. This time it's real-time and very grindy.
4. Toshiaki としあき [050114] D.O.
There are two types of humans in the world - nerds and and normal people. Of course main character Toshiaki is a nerd. His family holds a ryokan at a provincial town. But as long there is internet, he does not care at all. Somehow, he gets involved in a love affair. Can he pull it through?
It's a side story, so the play time is short. Feels more like a trial of Uminomichi. Games are of very similar atmosphere, so compliment each other well.
5. Mahou Sensei Negima! 1-Jikanme ~Okochama Sensei wa Mahou Tsukai!~ 魔法先生ネギま！ 1時間目 お子ちゃま先生は魔法使い！ [050120] Konami 1
The first PS2 game based on the manga of the same name. Very loosely corresponds to the events of the first three volumes of the manga.
Purely for manga/anime fans.
6. A Profile ア・プロフィール [050121] Akabei Soft2 1 2 3 4
Beneath the scorching sun of midsummer, a pampered, aloof sort of girl declared that there are four windows through which to view a person.
She was not the only one by his side, for he'd had a wounded girl thrust upon him - a wounded girl who could not help but depend upon him, as the girl he had known for so long once had. Now, however, that old friend of his vanishes in the dead of night to prowl where an ordinary girl should not. The blue sky of the stadium and the filth of the city streets spread out before him; unsustainable aspirations and an unsustainable love beset him. What in the world is he thinking as he gazes at their profiles?
There are English reviews.
7. Café AQUA Café AQUA -カフェ アクア- [050121] Rasen
Main character is a student who gets in an traffic incident on his bike. To cover the repair cost he starts to work part-time at “Cafe-AQUA”. School festival approaches, so he gets very busy at school and at work. There are so many opportunities to get to know the surrounding girls better.
Our obligatory moege of the month.
8. Onitama 鬼魂～おにたま～ [050121] Berkana
Main character lives alone after his parents' death. Neighbor woman serves as his guardian. Protagonist can see demons invisible to the ordinary eye and begins to feel another entity inside himself. One night his ability calls him to the night school where he almost gets killed by a devilish monsters. A mysterious girl with a sword defeats the monster and saves protagonist's life. He learns that he is destined to fight and devour spirits.
There is a pure love and devil route for each of the heroines. Scenario is the same for every heroine, so there's a feeling that everything is done for H events that are plentiful. Kind of dark moege.
9. Girls Bravo Romance15's GIRLSブラボー Romance15's [050127] Vridge Inc. 1
Yukinari Sasaki is an average high school student who was teased and bullied by girls to the point that he developed an allergic reaction, breaking out in hives whenever he comes into contact with a female. One day, when he returns home from school, he gets kicked into his bathtub by Kirie Kojima, his neighbor, and is transported to "Seiren", a mysterious world with a mostly female population
Because of this allergy capture becomes a torture, so walkthrough is a must. Anime version is not really great, and the game does not even live up to that anime.
10. Memories Off After Rain メモリーズオフ After Rain [050127] KID 1 2
Divided in three parts, the first one takes place in May, where Tomoya interacts with Yue and the rest of the girls. In the second one, Ken keeps his relationship with Hotaru. And in the last one, Tomoya fails his exams and enters on depression but Ken manages to pass.
It's kind of spin-off for the 5th anniversary of the series, so it's no wonder there's no review of it. The stories are so short, that it can all be called a fandisc.
11. Tantei Jinguuji Saburou: Shiroi Kage no Shoujo 探偵 神宮寺三郎 白い影の少女 [050127] WorkJam 1
When Jingūji attends his friend's funeral, his friend's mother asks him to investigate a missing person, while police inspector Kumano asks him to investigate the urban myth called "Yū-chan".

Georik learns of the homunculi, who use alchemy. However, the Kingdom of Hardland had outlawed witchcraft and alchemy long ago. Georik is forced to delve into the banned world of alchemy in order to help his sister.
Game is localized and has English reviews.
13. Henshin ☆ a la Maid へんしん☆ア・ラ・メイド [050128] FlyingShine Kotobuki
Shinjo Akemi is a director of Shinjo Institute. A mysterious creature arrives from space to rule the Earth. It aims to deprive humanity of its best weapon - battle suit "a la Maid". For that it's going take away three maid stones. Akemi chooses three girls from all over the world to fight the impostor in battle suits imbued with pure maid feelings. Can these three person protect the Earth?
I don't even know how to discuss this epic crappiness. The story itself is short and only events with individual girls matter here. It's still a weird light comedy game, if someone is ever giving it a try.
14. L'Heure Bleue L’Heure Bleue～ルール・ブルー～ [050128] F&C HARDCOVER
Main character appears before sisters with wounds on his back and head that result in memory loss. He is received warmly in the mansion, and life goes on normally. That is, until the day when dreadful memories start to recover...
Experimental brand tries to use zapping system here, but it's just to extend the story by showing the same events from the different point of view. The content is pretty dark and has to do with insults and witchcraft. It's the story about relations of four people, and actually two boys have their own share of it as well. A very strange game, to tell the truth.
15. Limit ~Kyoukaisen~ Limit ～境界線～ [050128] Innocence
Main character gets in a traffic accident together with his sister and lover. He regains consciousness at a hospital. Ayaka regains consciousness in two days, but it turns out that she acquires personality of his sister still lying in coma... This way their unusual life begins.
The concept is not fresh, but provides ample opportunities for scenario writer. There's only one main route while the rest are just side bonus. Alas, the depiction feels poorly done, and ending does not feel harmonious.
16. Maroon Grace マロングラッセ [050128] DUEE
Main character is adopted by Kurihara family at a young age after parents loss. He lives happily with a new uncle and two sisters-in-law. But he starts to get worried about his future. Should he leave this family already? Or should he stay? And if he stays - should he seek love with one of the sisters? Kansai dialect is rare to see, so can be enjoyed here. Characters have bright memorable personalities. Game has both slapstick comedy and human drama in it. Heroines change greatly from one route to another. Each route is short and only takes some 4-5 hours.
17. Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru 処女はお姉さまに恋してる [050128] Caramel Box 1 2 3 4 5 6

It's one wild event after another at this all-girls charm school! Can Mizuho make it through the year with his identity - and his dignity - intact?
Game is localized and has English reviews.
18. Tenshi no Nichou Kenjuu -Angelos Armas- 天使ノ二挺拳銃 -Angelos Armas- [050128] Nitroplus 1 2
When people die with hearts filled with negative feelings, they turn into 'ghosts', haunting the world. To send those souls to the other world, angels exist, using their guns to 'kill' them. You're playing one of such angels, Wim.
I'm surprised that a Nitroplus game does not have an English review. Guess I'll be the first.
19. Toki no Kairou 時の回廊 [050128] White Cyc
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 missions for him now with the current one being watching after Izumi. She witnesses human sacrifice ritual to resurrect the evil god. She has only five days to find the key point of the ritual and prevent it from happening.
This brand is an alternative to Black Cyc that produces too dark and disgusting nukige. It's a zapping adventure this time. The darkness is still there, but it just does not limit to sex. Instead there is emphasis on guro. There's so many violent scenes here that it gets uncomfortable to read. The story ends with no sense of accomplishment. In that sense it's closer to utsuge.

The VN of the Month is I/O, but that's a great start of the year. I also consider Fragments Blue a masterpiece. For some reason I chose Horizont for review among games without English review.
1. Fragments Blue [060119] Vridge Inc. 1 2
This novel-type adventure begins when the main character Kaname Ousaka takes delivery of a letter and a key. In search of the letter's source, he heads back to his home town of Shimizu and learns of a quest to collect a set of such keys in order to open a box that will lead to happiness. The game includes love elements and interactive conversation sequences.
The story is funny with laughter and suspense, produced good aftertaste. Heroines are bright and lovely. The mystery remains till the end, but after first good end there's no more incentive in playing. The story feels too short.
2. Gore Screaming Show ゴア・スクリーミング・ショウ [060120] Black Cyc 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Gore Screaming Show begins with the return of Kyouji Jinno, a relatively unassuming yet personable student, to the remote suburban community of his early childhood. With his parents still employed overseas, Kyouji takes up residence with his aunt, a cheerful woman with an unusual passion for occult research and relatively carefree regard to responsibilities. In this eased environment, Kyouji finds many opportunities to pursue leisure activities, rekindling friendship with several girls he once knew, now having matured into beautiful women. Soon thereafter, Kyouji accepts a request from his aunt to help unravel mysteries concerning paranormal phenomena she is investigating. They immediately set off, accompanied by friends in tow, to an ominous undeveloped forest that boarders the town. After discussing details of an obscure local myth, the group splits to cover more ground, whereupon Kyouji stumbles across a decayed well. Suddenly an adolescent girl appears, candidly forthcoming and friendly in disposition towards Kyouji, but holding venomous hatred for his female companion. When the encounter is suddenly cut short, the nameless child inexplicably vanishes without a trace. The forest expedition is then repeated a second time, further arousing the attentions of the mysterious young girl: an interest that inaugurates events of chaotic death and destruction in its wake... all committed in the pursuit of happiness once denied.
There are English reviews.
3. Houou Senki Maimu 鳳凰戦姫 舞夢 [060120] LiLiM
"It's the usual way home from the club after school, but something was not right... Kenta tried to shake that feeling off his chest and hurried home. All of the sudden, the bright moonlight faded and Kenta looked up just to see a figure of a person floating in the air. The figure became bigger and bigger... then he realized that it was falling toward him! Not only that but it was a girl in torn up kimono!
Kenta rescued the falling person in time and discovered that her face was covered with a Prajna mask. 'My name is Maimu...' 'You are the chosen person... the person that will fight along with me...' Then a man and a woman wearing a black kimono appeared and began attack them! Suddenly, the Prajna mask and Kenta's body glowed before the mask split. Then his body was absorbed into the 'Homura armor' that is being armed to Maimu who stood up and now radiated dazzling light. 'The evil doers are purged as Bird of Flame rises. The warrior of love and courage, Houou Senki☆Maimu has arrived!' Maimu is actually a princess warrior who came to prevent Heike army from conquering the Earth. The story about a protagonist and a heroine that came from a faraway world in order to stop the world invasion has begun."
It's quite a traditional action story with battles and thus lots of H development on defeat involved. It's a serious story, but there are also numerous bakage gags scattered around. The jokes are specific, oriented on 2chan users and the like, but overall conversation is boring.
4. Ar Tonelico ~Sekai no Owari de Utai Tsuzukeru Shoujo~ アルトネリコ世界の終わりで詩い続ける少女 [060126] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Ar tonelico takes place in the region of Sol Ciel, upon a huge tower that rises above a sea of deadly plasma that swallowed the surface world in a disaster centuries past. This is where the series gets its name: Ar tonelico is the name of that tower. As well as humans, the tower is home to a race of human-like artificial beings named Reyvateils, who can communicate with the tower by singing songs to cast magic. The story starts in the city of Platina, during an outbreak of enemy creatures called Viruses. The protagonist, a Knight of Elemia named Lyner Barsett, goes to investigate with fellow knight Ayatane, and the tower administrator, Shurelia. Unfortunately, they rapidly discover that the Viruses are able to turn intangible, rendering normal defeat impossible. Shurelia therefore sends Lyner on a quest for the only thing that can help them: the Hymn Crystal Purger. Taking an airship, he travels down to the Wings of Horus, the floating continent that surrounds the tower. More accurately, he crashes thanks to an attack from a dragon, which complicates matters extremely. In the process of searching for the crystal and a way to repair his airship, he meets and teams up with a number of people, including two Reyvateils. First is the shy Aurica, who healed his injuries after his crash. Second is the more outspoken Misha, actually his forgotten childhood friend. But there's one problem - Misha looks much younger than she should be. Aside from those two are the wanderer Jack, the local church knight Radolf, and the airship grathmelder Krusche. As the story progresses, Lyner and his comrades not only try to find the Hymn Crystal and fix Lyner's airship, but discover the reason for Misha's youthful appearance, and the source of the recent Virus outbreak.

5. Finalist ふぁいなりすと [060126] Princess Soft 1
Finalist's story takes place in a college town somewhere in Japan. The protagonist of the story, Yoshiki Shirasagi, is a male high school student. When he entered high school, he was mistakenly given a room in the girl's dormitory due to his feminine name. This did not bode well with Yoshiki, but he eventually ended up taking the room in the end since there was no more room left in the boy's dormitory. Yoshiki meets many of the girls who live in the same dormitory.
Absolutely beaten male in women dormitory setting, but I never expected to see anything worthy from Princess Soft, anyway. All kinds of crazy heroines are gathered there, and protagonist is a donkan, of course. Scenario has no depth at all, your usual moege. Some people call it good moege, but for me moege can't be good by definition of it.
6. I/O [060126] Regista 1 2 3 4
April 26th, 2032 A.D. - Megalopolis Tokyo - 00:12 in the morning
A total lunar eclipse occurs for the first time in 3 years. Even though it's supposed to be a simple astronomical phenomenon, it soon sets off a series of unexpected events. Unexplainable mysteries, terrorist incidents, and network crime surge as if in unison. The truth mixes with lies, as if the world is awake but still sleeping. Something has begun. Somewhere no one can see. Something no one knows about. This is a story of the chance meeting and tragic parting of the young men and women living in this world. Players get to play the game from 4 different points of view: Route A - Hinata, a youth who has lost his sister and himself. Route B - Ishtar, a freelance programmer and leader of a hacker team. Route C - Ishtar, but seems a bit different from the Ishtar in Route B.... Route D - He, a man completely shrouded in mystery. And thus.. "The beginning is the end, and the end is the beginning"
There are English reviews. I tried to play this game like 8 years ago or so and was absolutely destroyed by untranslated mind screw ans schizophrenic development. I'm over-enjoyed to finally be able to watch an English walkthrough of it.
7. Futari de Hitotsu no Koigokoro ふたりでひとつの恋心 [060127] Giant Panda 1 2

8. Hapikuri -Happy Christmas- はぴくり －HAPPY CHRISTMAS－ [060127] Giga
Yuji was studying hard for the entrance exams for the university. One day his teacher asked him to coach his junior students in chorus club. As experiencing the difficulty in coaching people, a friendship between Yuji and his juniors is getting firm.
Story is too short and ends without trying to fully express heroines personality. There's lack of psychological depiction. It's a typical moege with some comic focus. It feels like game is unfinished.
9. Harukoi Otome ~Otome no Sono de Gokigenyou~ 春恋＊乙女～乙女の園でごきげんよう。～ [060127] BaseSon 1 2 3 4
Harukoi Otome revolves around protagonist Akihito Hayasaka, a male high-school sophomore. The high school he attends St. Francesca Academy used to be an all-girls school, and still has a high percentage of female students. Akihito's younger sister (Umi Hayasaka) and his childhood friend (Yuika Serizawa) are also students there. Akihito meets many girls there, and becomes friends with them.

10. Horizont [060127] Artel
The Earth has suffered from terrible wars, and the United Nations' World Federation Government was formed as a result. 33 years later ULF (United LUNA Front) has emerged and declared inter-planetary war to UNWF. The Moon gains initiative and transfers battlefield to the Earth. In the meantime, there is a group of self-described pirates "E-Freeze" in the sea near Antarctica. They have technical skills comparable to "ULF" and ability to fight in any environment with their humanoid all-purpose weapon GrastX. Main character starts as a member of these pirates.
It's mostly a game about main character battles than a scenario-oriented work. There's little explanation and little persuasion... just plot events piled. Since main character is in the center, it becomes his war against ULF while the whole UNWF becomes forgotten. Fighting is bland, with poor animation. There's hardly any mystery in the game.
11. Imitation Lover [060127] light 1 2
Game encompasses the lives of Kurusu Itsuki as the first protagonist, and his best friend, Kidou Naoya as the second protagonist. Itsuki is a bit of a loner, and a bit on the emo side at that (kind of gloomy, not well-spoken and with a bit of an inferiority complex); he's basically Shinji Ikari moved from Evangelion into a random ero game, with a new haircut and glasses. Despite this, he is best friends with Naoya, who happens to be one of the most popular guys in school (as in, girls contantly ask him out and proposition him for things, even older girls). Itsuki's life takes a rather interesting turn when one Ichinose Kyo approaches him. Kyo in this story is a girl with a bad reputation, though she doesn't seem to mind the negative attention. Either way, she asks Itsuki to help her cheat at some exams that are coming up. In return, Kyo offers her virginity. As simple (and pointless) as this may sound, this set up leads to an emotional rollercoaster for Itsuki, not to mention the two girls he can end up with and the third girl that can potentially ruin his life. Aside from Kyo, both Sonomura Madoka (Kyo's childhood friend) and Kirisawa Iori (Naoya's would-be girlfriend) have a ton of emotional baggage that the player will get to witness, regarless of who Itsuki goes after.
There is an English review.
12. Kurenai Tsuki 紅月－くれないつき－ [060127] Studio Air
Main character meets a red-eyed girl on a stormy night, and he is entrusted with a red wax stone that emits a sinister shine. But afterwards he forgets about this encounter.
But soon on a stormy day out of season a mysterious beautiful girl transfers to school. She does not confirm or deny being the same girl giving the shiny stone. At the same time abominable incidents and ominous events begin to occur one after another. And every time the incident happens, "Red Crimson" in the palm of protagonist starts to glow with evil red radiance...
Scenario is short and mostly devoted to fighting and some H abuse in-between. Game is not voiced at all, and emits a low funds aura. It becomes the last work of this brand.
13. Miko x Mono みこ×もの [060127] Patisserie
At summer vacations main character returns to his home town. He was abandoned at the shrine when he was young, so he returns to the Shinto priest family consisting of six people, or rather half-people partially dragon, snake or tengu. And relationship with these family members starts to change...
There is just one human heroine, others are half-humans, but the half-human theme is not really realized fully. There's nothing much in the scenario department, it's all about heroines, each having 6-7 H scenes, plus there is harem route, so it's a borderline nukige.
14. Nami no Mani Mani ~Sazanami Shinryoujo~ 波の間に間に～さざなみ診療所～ [060127]
In an isolated island at the south, the people there are excited because a new doctor is coming to the only clinic of the island.
Shinohara Shuutarou - the protagonist - is the new doctor, but he is lazy, clumsy and perverted. He starts to live at the house of the old doctor of the clinic with him, his daughter the beautiful widow Yumiko and her daughter Mana. But one day the old doctor decides to go overseas, leaving Shuutarou in charge of the clinic, much to the annoyance of the only nurse of the clinic, Rie.
This story is not uncommon, but compared to predecessors there is much more room for H development here, thus it's another borderline nukige. The story is so plain and mediocre that if becomes frustrating. There is a shortage of adult women as heroines, but there still heroines that can be to one's liking, and that can make the game totally worthy.
15. Salvatore! サルバとーれ！ [060127] Liar-soft
Nagaoka Xiang is a member of the Hayakawa Academy cheer leading squad. Recognized for his outstanding cheering skills its said that he would certainly be the next leader. But when the offer came he turned it down because he was going to Europe on a student exchange program.
One year later, Nagaoka is back but the cheerleader squad is in shambles. In order to convince the school to support the squad he starts gathering random members, regardless of their cheer leading experience.
The SIM elements averted me from trying this Liar Soft game myself. They include rhythm game and suguroku. Scenario is weak, but tempo is good, and there is an abundance of crazy laughter. Basically it's a bakage with SIM elements and unresolved potential of heroines due to poor plot development.
16. School Panic! スクールぱにっく！ [060127] Tarte
School council reintroduces strict rules of the past. Main character's childhood friend is subject to punishment, so protagonist starts protest campaign against these rules. Boys and girls live for 10 days and cooperate to overthrow the system.
There's no fun in development, and all the girls fall for MC without any reason. There's not enough moe or good humor, so it's hard to find something in this game.
17. White x Red [060127] Tryset
Main character belongs to an exorcist lineage. Incidents start to become more frequent in his home town, so he interrupts training and returns to help the town. His father insists that son must marry to become a full-fledged exorcist, so protagonist starts living with his possible bride candidates including childhood friend and sister-in-law. Sex serves as source of spirit power required for exorcism, so young people are officially allowed to to involve in different kinds of sex play.
Half RPG, half training SIM is not in my interest sphere.

It doesn’t seem to faze her much; she has become a fairly popular teacher due to her good looks and city flair. Of course there is something much darker behind her transfer (it would hardly be an eroge without, right?). It just so turns out that she was being stalked at her previous school, but couldn’t figure out who was behind it. Feeling helpless, she transferred to get away from the fear and paranoia (besides the fact that the educational institution didn’t want to be marred by any police investigation). She has caught the eye of a popular honor student as well, and wouldn’t you know, he’s a self-admitted stalker (and our protagonist). Upon searching some of the underground internet sites, he spots some candid pictures of his new teacher. It would appear that things won’t end exactly as planned for our young heroine.

System with the clock repaired with memories is difficult to cope and needs getting used to, walkthrough is also recommended due to complexity and long period - one month.

Text tries to be erotic, but it does not live up to nukige having only one 3P and one pseudo humiliation scene.

A nice busy month. I'd only call Rune Lord and Harukaze dori ni, Tomarigi o. 2nd Story ~Tsuki no Tobira to Umi no Kakera~ masterpieces with traditionally chunige having the upper hand over charage. As for review, won't be any this month. Will only review couple games per year, probably with video playthroughs properly backed up, will see when first appealing for review game shows up. As usual, Micchi is mostly interested in fandiscs.

In this game, Kyle Hyde finds himself in the Cape West Apartments, Los Angeles, in 1980. The story of this sequel is separate from the first game's, even though it includes some connections with it.
Console release, but localized and highly evaluated
2. Rain Memory -Amayadori- Rain memory－あまやどり－ [100122] Flap

Doinaka Channel 5 takes place in the countryside. Keisuke and the Suzunone Gakuen broadcast club are asked to help make a TV program to promote the town. However, each segment will be capped at 5 minutes.
Two previous games of Hamham Soft were pretty much nukige, so even bakage looks like a step forward. We choose a girl, location and theme of a program and shoot it with the outcome of either satisfied or angry sponsor. Only the program itself is interesting, and thanks to high variability interest can keep up for a while.

Global warming had caused the water to rise, covering more than half the land. At the same time, an outbreak of the Satori disease wiped out half of the world’s population. It is said that everyone has been infected with the disease and it’s only a matter of time before the symptoms show. While at the hospital, Wataru meets Akari and her kindness and smile captures his heart.
Prequel was rather difficult to understand, but this time it's a straightforward poetic and only occasionally sad love story on the brink of world's collapse. Both main heroines and sub heroines are full of charm, so it's a decent charage.

Shinichi is a pretty typical guy, except that his childhood friend who lives next door is one of the smartest and most beautiful girls in the school. Her name is Kanami and their relationship is akin to siblings since they’ve been together for so long. One day when they were taking shelter from the rain, they accidentally broke an old relic and Hiwa, the fox spirit that rules over the land, punished them by placing a curse on them. Soon, the school views them as a couple and their parents wants them to marry, even though they don’t have feelings for each other. The only way to break this ‘curse’ is to kiss each other whenever they’re told to.
Game is based around kisses and flirt. There is a good variety of four heroines, plus bonus one that is not cursed. Evaluation greatly depends on affinity to such concept and individual heroine appeal.
