Upon returning to his senses, he finds himself near a calm forest spring, a single lovely girl having nursed him back to health. Roland's life threatening injury was healed, as if it was never there to begin with, causing him to wonder if the knights' attack was merely a dream… but he is mistaken.
Roland has awakened in another world entirely, shrouded by endless fog - a grotesque realm caught in the midst of eternal conflict and endless bloodshed. And the girl who saved him was the maiden trapped at the center of this history of war- the “captive of time”, the fated girl - Jeanne.
The moment this young man and the maiden meet, the clock tower breaks its long lasting silence, and once again begins to mark the passage of time. Its tolling lures Roland the young soldier and Jeanne the Maiden to set out on their journey of penance, in a strange and distorted world──

1. Dies irae ~Interview with Kaziklu Bey~ Dies irae ~Interview with Kaziklu Bey~ [160325] light 1 2 3
"My mother was my sister."
Brooklyn, New York - The man who sat across the interviewer at the vampire bar known as the "Borges House" began his story with those odd words.
Following the end World War II, the pallid SS officer traversed the globe to many a raging battlefield, leaving carnage unforeseen in his wake.
The vampire of the battlefield. The wandering Hakenkreuz.
Though his saga was passed down as naught but a stale ghost story, it was no mere urban legend.
For he was Wilhelm Ehrenburg - hunted in absolute secrecy by the UN as a remnant of the Third Reich, enemy of the world, and one of the infamous members of the demonic Longinus Dreizehn Orden.
And after over half a century, the time had finally come for him to depart for Japan in order to fulfill his most ardent desire.
Humoring this interviewer he would have ignored or slain any other day was merely a whim birthed from the exaltation of the promised time drawing ever closer.
That was the only reason our intrepid interviewer found him in a talkative mood.
Thus, as he reflected on his life, Wilhelm grew nostalgic - sentimental, even - for the path he had walked.
And when asked, he unveiled his past piece by piece.
From the accursed blood that poisoned his very soul, to the blight wrought by the works of Mercury.
He spun a tale of the day he awakened to the truth of his being, and of the woman who had the nature of Wilhelm's existence engraved upon her very being.
"Don't you worry, I'm gonna tell you everything. From the first moment I met her, to the very end of our story."

However, before she knew it, she was back at Lion House, happily chatting with her friends as if nothing had happened in the first place.
A few days later, she found herself in a strange world. Here she met Parca, an odd girl claiming to be a goddess. It turns out that she had somehow become a participant in Divine Selection, a ritual carried out over twelve weeks by twelve people, which allowed them to compete in order to undo their deaths. What shocked Rinka most of all, however, was the presence of her friend Mishima Miharu amongst the twelve.
In order to make it through Divine Selection, one must eliminate others by gathering information regarding their name, cause of death and regret in the real world, then "electing" them.
This turn of events would lead to her learning about the truth behind her death, as well as her own personal regrets. She would also come to face the reality that Miharu was willing to throw her life away for her sake, as well as the extents to which the other participants would go to in order to live through to the end.
Far more experiences than she ever could have imagined awaited her now, but where will her resolve lead her once all is said and done...?

15. Riddle Joker [180330] Yuzusoft 1 2 3
People used to call such unfathomable abilities "superpowers".
Through the discovery of a certain particle during the end of the 20th century, however, the mystery surrounding these powers was solved, with them and their users now being referred to as "Astral abilities" and "Astral users", repsectively.
Arihara Satoru is an ordinary person living in this extraordinary world.
However, that is but a facade.
Hidden beneath the surface, Arihara Satoru is actually an Astral user working as an agent under a secret organization!
His newest mission:
"Infiltrate this school geared towards Astral users as one of its students!"
Along with his little sister, Arihara Nanami, he succeeds in the infiltration and blends in with the students there without a hitch, building a rapport with fellow classmates Mitsukasa Ayase and Nijouin Hazuki as well as upperclassman Shikibe Mayu along the way.
Having not drawn even the tiniest bit of suspicion, his mission continues according to plan.
--Or so he had hoped. Due to an unforeseen event, his true identity was revealed to Mitsukasa Ayase!
But the revelations didn't stop there; Ayase's own big secret was also revealed:
What do you know! Her chest was padded!
The two now held each other's unspeakable secrets within them.
And with that one encounter, their fate would be forever changed--

Despite being merely a student, Kaito broke through the most advanced security system and gained administrative privileges to the C-AI (Central AI) that governs countless AI. In this day and age, the majority of the infrastructure essential to humanity's daily living has been optimized with AI. Kaito, who now had the power to do anything, issued his command:
“I want to meet a girl who loves me, Shimae Kaito! She has to have large, cute eyes, be kind and will spoil me, oh, and have big boobs!”
However, the reply came back, "No qualified persons found. Displaying results: 0 out of 0."
Kaito was dejected when his search got no hits, but the AI activated a late-night robot factory and built a robot according to his specifications.
Some days later, a girl who looked exactly as he described showed up at his door - Tsukuyomi. She had superhuman physical abilities and loved Kaito immensely. However, being an AI, she lacked all common sense. Having determined that she still fell short of being his ideal, she decided that she had to express her "love" for him in the most perfect way possible.

Kaname Aokari, a library committee member, is reluctantly tasked with creating a website documenting the school’s history. While organizing materials, he discovers a mysterious book titled The Bizarre Crimes of Saika High, detailing past tragedies at the school.
The book reveals that three female students had been murdered, and as Aokari reads further, he finds his own name under “2024 - Kaname Aokari - Death.” Suddenly, a pale-faced boy named Saika appears, claiming, “I’m here to save you.” Aokari collapses and wakes up in the past, where he meets Chiyoko Shirakami, the first victim listed in the crime history. Saika tells him, “Saving her will save you too.”
This marks the beginning of Kaname Aokari’s journey to rewrite his fate and uncover the mysteries of Saika High School.
Only including because company is proper and there's windows release, but of course it's just a minor mystery mobile game.
Ginsei Senshin Guynarock is the VN of May 1991 by default - it's the closest thing to a visual novel this month.
1. Ginsei Senshin Guynarock 銀聖戦神ガイナロック [910520] Techno Brain
In 2125 a special unit SIS was created to defend against extraterrestrial life. It consists of five female members - Erie, Louis, Megu, Remy and Io. After investigating an unidentified spacecraft heading for Earth, Erie was attacked by a scientist Baikal who vanished 150 years ago. Io is captured and the rest of the crew, except for Eri, are forced to rescue Io and ride giant robot Guynarock to oppose the giant robot of Baikal.
First of all there's a whole series of Guynarock series with very similar plot and titles which causes lots of confusion. Story is short, but has nice animations and impressive robot battle. Girs are drawn in the 1980s style and are cute enough.
2. Smell of Blood スメル オブ ブラッド [910524] Heart Soft
Year 2270. Glen is a worker who returns from a 6 month shift from Mars. He awakes in Shuttle 2 only to find out that the spacecraft is breached by alien killer monsters.
Game is obscure. Heart Soft is the main experimentation company of 1991. Most of its games have kinky mechanics that are difficult to grasp. This game has 10 command variants for each dialogue, lots of rooms and technical information on the station.
3. Gakuen Toshi Z 学園都市Ｚ [9105] Striker 1
In the floating in space academic city of Z students compete against each other using their own robots. This year just one day before competition the Red team got intoxicated by food poisoning. Just one red team was intact. So the rules were changed - if Red team gathers five crystals scattered throughout the school - it wins. Otherwise white opponents win. And now single Red robot faces 20,000 white robots.
RPG with ADV elements. Setting leaves much to be desired and plot does not invoke any emotions. Both girls from red mechanics team are cheerful and animation is quite widely used, but that alone can't save the game from the depths of commonness. RPG part is actually quite difficult compared to other RPG VNs.
4. Phantasy Star II Text Adventure: Rudger no Bouken ファンタシースターII テキストアドベンチャー ルドガーの冒険 [911201] Sega 1 2 3
This chapter features Rudolf "Rudo" Steiner (Japanese: ルドガー・スタイナー (Rudogā Steiner or Rudger Steiner)), who after the loss of his wife and child in a Biomonster attack, becomes a hunter dedicated to their extermination.
Game is localized and has enough information in English.
5. Phantasy Star II Text Adventure: Shilka no Bouken ファンタシースターII テキストアドベンチャー シルカの冒険 [911201] Sega 1 2 3 4
Shir Gold (Japanese: シルカ・レビニア (Shiruka Rebinia, Shilka Levinia)) – the only child of a wealthy family in Paseo, she belongs to the well-to-do of Motavia. Growing up and wanting for nothing, Shir felt that becoming a thief would remedy the monotony of daily life. She enjoys the outside air, the cool night breeze, and hanging around on rooftops, taking up the nickname "Shir of the Wind". Her adventure takes place in Autumn of AW 1282, about two years before the events that take place in Phantasy Star II, as she plans to steal a valuable painting entitled "Opa-Opa", which is on display in a hotel exhibit.
Game is localized and has enough information in English.
Kurutta Kajitsu is the only masterpiece of May 1991.
1. Kurutta Kajitsu 狂った果実 [920501] Fairytale 1
Satoshi Kanou encountered a cheerful girl at professor party and it turned out that she's been cheerful for the first time in her life towards anyone, so Satoshi was invited as tutor in the house. However Satoshi witnesses an accident with professor's older sister and he soon finds himself into a whirlpool of events.
It's a classic depressing mystery novel - utsuge made by the same Fairytale company as Dead of the Brain and Lan-Mal last month. And it's the first utsuge, before that the genre did not exist. It has a suspense tv drama as the origin, but the theme was changed for the game and much more cruel scenes were incorporated. Year 1992 is known for a big number of depressing games, but Kurutta Kajitsu presides over them. Story might be not too original, but the perfect graphics and scenario left a lasting impact on the generation of players. One by one everyone around main hero starts to die in a most unnatural manner and you probably won't be able to look at some of the home appliances the same way after reading this VN. And as with most utsuge, there is no happy ending ... only jealousy, anger, hate, depression, pain and despair.
2. Minimum Guynarock みにまむがいなろっく [920508] Techno Brain
This is an alternative version of Ginsei Senshin Guynarock telling the shortened version of the story with chibi characters.
The playthrough is done withing some 7 minutes, for real. The second part of the game is issued in December 1992, so my best guess is that this game is to refresh the memories on the events of the prequel and produce some gags.
3. DOR Part 2 DOR Part 2 [920519] D.O. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
The sequel to DOR is structured exactly the same way as the first game: play any of the three unrelated scenarios, accessible directly from the main menu.
The first scenario takes the player into France of 16th century, during a witch hunt. The playable character is a young girl who is falsely accused of being a which and is taken into a dungeon, interrogated, and tortured.
The second scenario follows the adventures of a young boy who has lost his way in a forest. Suddenly he meets a cute little female elf, who is willing to help him find the right way, in exchange for some other favors...
The third scenario is named "Armored Fighter Gyleban" and is in a way a parody on sci-fi anime movies. The player controls a commander of a unit of female fighters with enhanced abilities, that must stop an evil organization from conquering our world.
Since the English localized version included one story from DOR part 2 all the reviews apply here as well.
4. Réserve 2 [920501] MIN
The final chapter in the Reserve series once again stars Mio but this time the creatures from the diminsion she travelled to in the first game have come to her school and are haunting her classmates and teachers. She suspects there's something funny about the new girl in class - who turns out to be Koumori in human form and hiding out from Lucifer and his minions.
Game's very short and oriented on ero-scenes while losing to different monsters.
Prostudent G and Nova are the masterpieces of the month, but when there's a choice I'd choose anything over bakage and thus Nova is VN of May 1993.
1. Noltia ノルティア [930514] Flat 1
Noltia contains three scenarios, which are not related to each other story-wise. All the three share traditional Japanese adventure gameplay, with "Look - Talk - Think" verb command pattern, no inventory, no puzzles, and plenty of text.
The first one can be played as either of its two main characters - the boy Aruto or the girl Kyoko. Both are not what they seem to be: Aruto is working for a registry organization in the World of the Dead, and he has to bring Kyoko to judgment, where it will be decided whether she goes to heaven or hell after death. However, Kyoko is actually an angel, whose goal is to save Aruto from killing himself. Both characters have special bars - the well-being of the protagonist and the proximity of the opponent to the protagonist's goal. Command choices can increase or decrease either of these statistics. Wrong choices can lead to Game Over.
The second scenario casts the player in the role of a high-school student named Yoshihiko, who is hired by a gym teacher to take erotic pictures of high-school girls and bring them to him. This scenario allows movement through school locations (menu command "Move"), and, depending on the player's choices, Yoshihiko can succeed in taking the most erotically satisfying pictures, or achieve one of the "bad" endings.
The third scenario is a realistic depiction of a relationship between a young man named Eiji and his little sister Miwa. The player can choose to play as either one of them. Eiji is dating Miwa's schoolmate, and Miwa tries to understand the change in her own feelings. In this episode, the gameplay is rather straight-forward Japanese adventure.
Only third story is serious enough. It also uses zapping to switch protagonists, which is really fresh. A very nice experimental work without emphasis on H-element. It's one of the works that allows us to speak of 1993 year as the golden age of visual novels with lots of original stories and emphasis on scenario.
2. Tenshi-tachi no Gogo Special 2 天使たちの午後SpecialII [930514] JAST
Main hero is high school student. But he also steals money and assets from villains to return it to the proper owners. One day he received a request by mail to get "Blue Diamond" out of debt situation.
The only common part with the predecessors is that it's a school mystery. Game series is changing very slowly over time and thus starting to look bleak compared to competitors. Anyway, character design is cute and it's still possible to enjoy the game heartfully.
3. Prostudent G ぷろすちゅーでんとG [930515] Alice Soft 1 2 3
By the end of the 20th century, radical educational reforms have transformed the Japanese society. Students were split into opposing groups, and the more aggressive of those eventually formed a dominant organization named Order of Black Phoenix, centered on the cult of a mysterious person known as "The Queen". Outcast students have escaped to a secluded island near Okinawa. A wandering lazy and lecherous manga and anime fan named Gorō Endō teams up with a female teacher and a few students to lead an opposition force against the oppressive governing circles.
Bakage from AliceSoft. Even the synopsis does not make any sense. And it should not - in fact, it's possible not to follow the story and still enjoy the game in he fullest. All kinds of elements are mixed together with constant parodies, gags and unrealistic events happening. I prepared a full review of it.
4. DOR Special Edition Sakigake ＤＯＲ ＳＰＥＣＩＡＬ ＥＤＩＴＩＯＮ 魁 [930521] D.O. 1
DOR Special Edition: Sakigake is the fourth entry in the DOR series. Unlike all the previous games, it contains only one scenario instead of the usual three.
The scenario follows the story of Kensuke Funaki, a young boy who attends a prestigious private high school, where the students specialize in sports as well as various theatrical activities. The biggest event of the school is an all-female wrestling competition. Kensuke finds himself in a promising situation: in order to secure his support, the young and pretty competitors are willing to go far - very, very far...
The story does not differ much from other DOR stories. But this game's feature is unusual sound and partial voicing.
5. Nova ノ・ヴァ [930528] Cat's Pro. 1 2
The protagonist of the game awakens in the cryogenic chamber of a spaceship, unable to remember anything from his past and only vaguely recalling his name. Something strange is happening on board the ship, and it is possible that unknown creatures have found their way into it. The protagonist meets other crew members and together they try to find out what exactly is going on.
The first serious work of Cat's Pro and already a masterpiece according to my rating. Actually Nova has three stories that happen roughly at the same place in the same circumstances, but only first story has enough longevity and complexity. It also has the most mystery and SF elements in it. Three stories is an experimental structure to satisfy as many players as possible. Still the selling point of the game lies in magnificent graphics and sound.
6. Hitomi Zaka ひとみ坂 [93] Higashikai Hotsujuku 1
The story itself is about a group of friends from high school after school is over. Everyone hangs out in a coffee house, goes on dates in said coffee house, plays occasional games of football, and sometimes go out to do stuff like visiting the fair or play the piano.
There is an English review.
7. S.A. S.A. [93] A-Inn
A collection of two short erotic stories
Scenario 1 is about a parent and child coming to main character's house for recruitment purposes. Protagonist manages to coerce child to intimate relations.
Scenario 2 is about main character graduating from high school and gathering to move out. At the same time imouto starts to gain consciousness as a woman. Siblings share their memories before the departure.
Short erotic stories, but with great visuals.
8. The Ooya-san - Tamattemasu yo! Yachin ga!? ザ・大家さん たまってますよ！家賃が！？ [93] Soft Circle Courreges
Ohayama Harumi is the son of apartment complex owner. One day his father gives him a telephone call and asks to gather rent from five girls that are late with the payment.
The girls prefer to seduce the guy and he's such a virgin that can not say no. Nothing special.
Tokimeki Memorial is the only masterpiece of the month.
1. Circle Mate サークルメイト [940513] Softhouse Bonbee Bonbon
Hide is a member of the Club where members that enjoyed sexual pleasures were gathering. One day he gets to know that another club member Yuko is killed by the train and another club member Asako stops going to school because of that. A hired detective suspects Hide in this crime, so Hide starts his own investigation.
This is an utsuge game full of depression and H scenes. The atmosphere resembles Crazy Fruit from 1992 the most. The mystery is quite shocking upon unwinding. This work has a lot of dark charm and is much less hardcore than contemporary utsuge, so should not be overlooked if you search for a good mystery story.
2. Twilight トワイライト [940514] Studio Twinkle 1
In "Twilight", the protagonist, who works for a mysterious magic-using organization, is set to Transylvania, to investigate the murder of a nun known as Sister Christa. A woman named Karen, who also specializes in black arts, goes to the monastery with the hero, but obviously has her own agenda. The goal is to find out the truth by questioning the suspects, keeping an eye on one's own safety...
In the beginning of the game, the player can choose any of the six possible scenarios, each dedicated to a different suspect (all female). They all take place in the same monastery, but dialogues, events, etc., are completely different. The interaction in "Twilight" is confined to periodical decision-making; many of the decisions are "wrong", leading to the hero's death or otherwise premature ending.
Atmosphere is created by live-photo images and monotone colors. It's a short one, possible to finish 6 stories in one hour. Drawing and character design are mediocre at best.
3. Houma Hunter Lime Dai 12 Wa 宝魔ハンターライム 第１２話 [940520] Silence 1
In this episode Lime, Bass and Kokona depart to the magical world for the final confrontation against two powerful demons and their horrifying fusion known as the Hellraiser.
The final episode the includes a serious battle and that also gives an epilogue for the whole series.
4. Super Ultra Mucchin Puripuri Cyborg - Marilyn DX スーパーウルトラむっちんぷりぷりサイボーグ マリリンＤＸ [940525] JAST 1 2
Kenji was just a regular teenage boy who had a normal life, which included a girlfriend. However, everything changes when one day he comes home and discovers that his insane father has created a female cyborg. His previous attempts failed because he used an artificial brain; this time, to avoid this mistake, he takes out his son's brain and puts it into the cyborg. Poor Kenji gains a second life - as a beautiful artificial woman, whose task is to oppose a dubious world government organization.
A bakage with RPG elements. RPG elements presented by physical strength and tactical fighting with enemies. Basically, the game has no plot apart of going somewhere with the aim to return initial body. Point and click system is used. So a weird work with a weird title it is.
5. Tokimeki Memorial ときめきメモリアル [940527] Konami 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
You are a young boy who is going to study three years at the Kirameki High School in Japan. Your goal is to win the affection of one (and possibly more) of the twelve beautiful girls who also study with you, especially of Shiori, with whom you were in love some years ago. This is a simulation game with a high-developed statistics system. You have to increase your statistics in different disciplines, depending on the girl you are interested in. You communicate with people via your telephone, and date girls by going with them to various places. You have to keep your promises, otherwise a girl will become angry and even tell bad things about you to other girls, which will spoil your reputation.
There are tonns of English reviews on this game, so I'll only notice that it's the first classic dating sim and one of the first full voiced VNs. Its influence on following dating sims and galge was immense.
6. Holidays In The Sun なつやすみがまちどおしい [941] Bolze 1
You play as a girl who has made it her goal to have sex over the summer holiday. She can accomplish this by either being passive or active at various points in the story.
There is an English review.
7. Liqueur りきゅ～る [94] Atelier Oz
Hero comes to a town in search of adventures and gets to help different girls to get out of difficult situations.
Ero-centered doujin game.
8. Morina もりな [94] Active Gamers
Morina is a lively school girl. She has another busy day as usual when she reaches a mysterious world.
Only pc-88 version is free and available to get and I hardly understood anything out of it.
9. Raika 蕾花 [94] Ringerbell
A stripping card game with five girls as possible opponents and reward after each three games won.
PC-98 version is a card game without visual novel mixes, but Win version might be different. H event is point-and-click with an additional reward of 2-screen CG for getting within time limit.
10. S.A. 2 S.A. 2 [94] A-Inn
A collection of two short erotic stories.
Scenario 1 is about main character's childhood friend being insulted in front of him. Protagonist tries to step in, but is coerced to have sex with childhood friend himself.
Scenario 2 is about main character dating a quiet girl. But this girl has a dark secret - she is forced into a bad group where she gets into intimate relations with strangers.
One of the well-known doujin series notorious for its graphic.
11. Wanderers [94] Crystal Soft 1
You're an adventurer and your best friend is that girl on the cover. So, what do you want in your adventure? Treasure and excitement! What does your best friend want? Lesbian elf sex! And so, both of you go off on a quest filled with magic, mystery, wonder, and elf boobs. There is an actual plot in there somewhere about ancient ruins, but it gets ignored for the most part in favor of more lesbian elf sex.
There is an English review.
There aren't masterpieces this month, but Koihime has my sincere sympathy.
1. Monzetsu Fighter 悶絶ファイター [950512] Trush 1 2
Long ago, there was an evil king who loved nothing more than to rape and torture beautiful women. He was so evil that it became taboo to even speak his name. He was slain by a woman that killed him through sex, but 300 years later he is reborn. In order to defeat this ancient evil, the greatest female warriors in the world face off to see who is worthy of fighting and defeating this terror.
Monzetsu Fighter is a card battle game where you play as a female warrior fighting other female warriors and occasionally a boss. Battles simulate rape fights and cards represent different ways of sexually attacking an opponent. As health decreases, characters get cuts, bruises, and lose clothes. The fight ends when one of the combatants passes out, of as the title says, faints in anguish.
There is an English review.
2. Sexpress セクスプレス [950512] Ange 1
The protagonist of the game is a young Japanese man who is lucky enough to win a ride on the S-Express, a miraculous train connecting Australia with Canada and going through almost the entire world with stops in Singapore, Japan, China, India, Israel, Russia, France, Ivory Coast, Brazil, Panama, and USA. Nearly the whole game is set on the train itself, with only a few locations accessible within.
There is a concept of time and each character acts according to his timetable like in Classmate. This is the most difficult type of visual novels and only masterpieces can survive here. And sexpress is very close to it. Heroines are very cute and charming, inspiring to clear the game despite the high difficulty.
3. Kankin 監禁 [950518] Illusion 1
The year is 2197. In order to be able to compete with the leading powers of the world, Japan was urbanized, huge city areas covering the entire country. In these huge, soulless cities, crime thrives. Violence is part of everyday life. Female police agents Sagoto, Kikuno, and Chisame are sent to Koube City to arrest drug dealers. But all goes wrong in the very beginning, and the young women fall victims to vicious criminals.
It's an Illusion game so it takes mere minutes for a spree of H events to begin.
4. Amy to Yobanaide エイミーと呼ばないでっ [950519] C's Ware 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
This is a story about a high-school girl named Emi, who fell in love with her younger step-brother. Finally, on her eighteenth birthday, she decides to tell him about her feelings. But suddenly, debt collectors arrive and confiscate everything your father possessed. Tomomi, Emi's step-brother, disappears. Now Emi must find him, her only true love, and to confess to him her feelings.
But on her journey, Emi discovers a different personality inside herself. This other person is called Amy. While the true Emi is a shy, modest girl, her Amy part cares mostly about one thing: to make real her wildest sexual fantasies...
Game is localized and has lots of English reviews.
5. Ballade for Maria マリアに捧げるバラード [950526] FAIRYTALE HARDCOVER 1
In "Ballade For Maria", you control Jake Spikes, a detective from New York. Recently, terrible murders have been happening in Boston. An unknown killer seeks out women and brutally murders them, cutting their hands off. Jake travels to Boston to unravel the mystery, finding out who is responsible for the murders.
It's from the same developer as Necronomicon, so you should know what to expect. Point and click shifted back to command selection with troublesome flags to find (way too many characters having way too many useless dialogue lines and topics to discuss). Game's main feature is depressive atmosphere so unlike Necronomicon it's a full-scale utsuge. Same as Necronomicon there are two endings - bad and very bad. As an experimental game, it has a lot of gore, but almost no nudity thus continuing Koroshi no Dress trend.
6. Koihime 恋姫 [950526] Silky's 1 2 3
Musashi returns to the remote country village where his grandmother lives after being away for 15 years. However, once he gets there, he finds that he has somehow forgotten four different girls whom he had promised to marry when he was a child.
There are two English reviews of this Elf game, but I'd wish to sum it up. Game is set in traditional japanese countryside and has vertical text display to underline this atmosphere. Text is good and full of gags and emotions. So is the tempo. But the volume is small so story is forced like all the girls are in love with the hero from the start. There are 14 good endings even though the story has no branches. By the end there are several battle sequences, but they are ok to loose. So this is a melancholy rural story with a touch of folklore mystics that was notable in 1995, but today there are hundreds of such works, it's not memorable enough to stand out even though both characters and drawing are very cute.
7. Mujintou Monogatari 2 無人島物語２ [950526] KSS Inc. 1
Mujintō Monogatari 2 is a follow-up to Mujintō Monogatari. Like its predecessor, it simulates survival of a group of people on a deserted island - this time, following a ship accident. The basic gameplay is very similar to that of the previous game. The player has to make schedules for the survivors, sending teams to procure necessary supplies such as water, food, light sources, building materials, etc. Only a small part of the island is accessible in the beginning: the player gradually explores it by arranging expeditions. It is possible to manage up to three parties of people, giving each an assignment, which unfolds automatically as the player chooses to complete a day. The survivors' attributes will change depending on the activities chosen by the player.
This time there are finally unique characters and dialogues on events. The basic gameplay stays the same - gather resources, synthesize them and use them to develop and survive. But that also sets the biggest problem - system has to be changed if unique characters and stories are introduced. You can't just leave it as survival strategy with just naming the characters and adding event dialogues. It's definitely more enjoyable than prequel, but still far from masterpiece level.
8. X -Ekkusu- X -エックス- [950526] Studio Mebius
Erika is a 16 year-old high-school student who receives lots of love letters from other girl students. One night space tax collector Seri lands on Erika killing her. In order to regain the body Erika needs to help Seri save the world in the next 500 hours by participating in various interstellar sex events.
In reality after the opening player is thrown to selection between 10 scenes at once. Yuri love in exotic space locations makes he gist of the game.
9. Himitsu Chouhou Buin - 00Nanako-chan 3 秘密諜報部員00ななこちゃんIII [9512] Overture
Parents of Nanako-chan go on a trip. At this time monsters attacks start to happen. Nanako-chan will need to solve this case together with her sister and childhood friend! Third game did not get a Windows version and thus remains obscure.
10. Sailor Bunny Daibakuhatsu セーラーバニー大縛発 [9512] Minto Club
Game is about training a bunny girl in exchange for pocket money.
An ero-centered doujin game.
11. Sinkha [9512] Marco Patrito 1 2 3 4
Sinkha tells the fascinating story of Hyleyn, a bold girl who lives in the mysterious city of Thalissar. This gigantic and gloomy agglomeration of howling metal, located on the hostile planet Ogon, proves to be of great interest to the Sinkha, a race of immortals who send their living starship Darcron to investigate.
There are many English reviews of this game, but what matters to me is that this is the first West originated visual novel and the first windows visual novel.
12. Virgin Angel ヴァージンエンジェル [9512] Crystal Soft 1
In 2080, Tokyo, the capital of Japan, became a center for daring scientific experiments, newest research in space ship technology, and organized crime. A new deadly drug was developed, that enhanced sexual experiences of human beings, eventually subduing their will and turning them into slaves of whoever possessed the drug. A special unit of the police force was assigned to investigate the crimes committed under the influence of the drug, and to find the criminals that distributed it. The player controls the young female investigator Amano Murakumo. Will she be able to survive in this hostile and terrifying world?..
Despite being a doujin game, it has some stunning visuals. There should be at least 4 endings since I saw 1st and 4th one but only 1st one is good while others being ero-centered bad endings.
There aren't masterpieces this month, but I like Rouge no Densetsu the most this month.
1. Onna no Ko no Shikumi 女の子の仕組み [960501] Libido
Three sisters Miyu, Shoko and Mirei tell the stories where they confess their secrets.
Short ero-centered loli stories.
2. Rouge no Densetsu ルージュの伝説 [960510] D.O. 1 2 3
Long time ago, a legendary hero defeated an evil dragon. He wore a magical bracelet that protected him during the battle. years passed, and the memories of his heroic deeds, even his name, have faded away from people's minds. But a young girl named Rouge, who trains regularly in the art of sword-fighting, still dreams about a real hero - more precisely, imagines that she will marry one.
There is a great English review and long polish review for this game.
3. Hanafuda Graffiti Koikoi Monogatari 花札グラフィティー 恋々物語 [960510] HAMSTER Corporation 1
Hanafuda Graffiti Koikoi Monogatari is a hanafuda game (a type of Japanese playing cards) that features a story mode and a free versus mode. In story mode, the game starts with the main character taking on different challenges in order to become the successor of a prestigious school of hanafuda.

4. Janki ~Ladies Mahjong League~ 雀姫 ～レディース・マージャン・リーグ～ [960515] Succubus 1
This is an adult Mahjong game with hentai images. The heroine was a well renown singer who's part of a performing troupe. She'd grown up with the troupe, and to her the troupe was her family. One day a royal summon arrived, requesting for her to be the kingdom's royal singer... and with the troupe's encouragement, she accepted the summon and was taken away to the castle. She was told that she was summoned because the King had once heard her voice and wanted her to be his royal singer, that it couldn’t be anyone but her, but when she arrived the King didn't show any sign of this. In fact, he barely acknowledged her arrival, and no one else in the castle seemed to have the need for a royal singer. So why, exactly, was she invited to stay in the castle...?
There are two openings and an ending, but besides that nothing special.
5. File:0 Ghost Killer Kamimura Rei ＦＩＬＥ：０ ゴーストキラー・神村 麗 [960524] Colossus
Kamimura Rei is a ghost killer. She is assisted by shrine maiden Shirui Mika who can listen to the spirits of the deceased. Together they solve thee spirit-related cases.
The three cases are straightforward and rather short. There is enough yuri element in the game. It's nice to see that Miki hobby is BL manga and she can be considered the first visual novel fujoshi. Game starts strong with detailed main heroines profiles and interaction between the heroines is fun, but game ends right after the three short cases and there's no feeling of complete work.
6. Suki! 好き！ [960524] Nikukyuu
Hero's mother and father have gone overseas leaving him with his older sister. A new school year starts today and it's time for new opportunities and new love.
Game's not hookable, but the content is a generic SIM with day planning and looking for girls.
7. Oh! Kitsune-sama Ｏｈ！きつねさま☆ [960531] Curott 1
The protagonist of the game is a young boy who is about to graduate high school and is looking for a job to support himself during the upcoming college years. However, fate intervened and arranged a bike accident, which resulted in a meeting with a creature from another world - a cute fox-girl named Sharan. She needs nothing else but to be together with the hero; but a mysterious voice tells him: "one wish has been fulfilled, two more to go"...
Game from the studio that was probably the first one to specialize in loli. One way story with the meaningful choice only at the end. The appeal points are cuteness, loli and animal-girl. Nothing much besides that.
8. Paparazzo パパラッチ [960531] Ume Soft 1
In Paparazzo the player takes control of a young Japanese male journalist who works for an agency that primarily covers sports events. Dissatisfied with his position, the young man considers becoming a paparazzo, working on his own to get pictures of celebrities. From that point on the plot branches depending on the player's decisions, as the protagonist encounters various women and may pursue relationships with them.
There as many as 11 girls in here. There are bad endings and the decisions determining the ending are done early in game. The game starts as a journalist story but goes on mostly like a love affair story with many H-events. Game's perfectly hookable, but I forgot to enlarge the border while capturing.
9. Sound Novel Tsukuru サウンドノベルツクール [960531] ASCII Corporation
Sound Novel Tsukuru is a Super Famicom graphic novel game where players can either read or create interactive fiction on their own console systems. Stories can be saved either on a battery or through a satellite connection.
The game comes with a previously created graphic novel about exploring an old house. Due to the limitations in the game's engine, it can only show shadows of non-player characters that the player meets on his journey. Settings can range from a modern day train to a rural house and even wilderness can be included in various stages of wildness.
A constructor for creating sound novels. Not even sure if it has premade stories or the videos are based on created stories.
10. Strange World ストレンジ・ワールド [960531] Sorciere
Hero is a college student. To earn his living he participates in hospital brainwaves study tests. He dreams of appearing in a castle as a new employee.
Multiple route and multiple ending adventure with 14 bad endings and only 3 happy ones. So capture is really difficult and the best ending is only achievable with 100% CG. The atmosphere is good, but content is ero-centered.
To Heart is the only masterpiece of May 1997
1. Chiyomi-chan for Me ~Kateikyoushi Seikyouiku Hen~ ちよみちゃん for Me ～家庭教師 性教育編～ [970502] Ume Soft
What a lucky guy, he has a beautiful girl to help him study for his exams. She even accepts him when he ask her to be his girlfriend. From then on, it's study and fun times. He will be happy, if he doesn't get distracted by his classmate or the ghost of his first love.
Girl is a tutor, but actual studying ends pretty soon. Game is of ero-centered nature and has only very short impressions.
2. Kidou Senkan Nadesico ~Yappari Saigo wa "Ai ga Katsu" ?~ 機動戦艦ナデシコ ～やっぱり最後は「愛が勝つ」？～ [970502] Sega
It is a dating sim with players taking the role of Akito Tenkawa and attempting to build relationships with the female crew members, although there are a few mecha elements included.
One more anime offspring. The crew counts 10 members. There are 8 chapters each containing an adventure part with target character emotional scenes and the battle part where you repetitively push one button for the win. What's interesting - if you distract attention in favor of some different girl, the target girl's favorability drops. Anyway, mediocre Saturn exclusive for anime fans.
3. Kojiin ~Kyouki no Ketsuzoku~ 孤児院 ～狂喜の血族～ [970504] K-JOYNT
A dancer girl loses parents, but retains hope while living in the orphanage. Foster parents greet her with joy, but soon she learns the pain and torture in the basement. Girls are trained into slaves here, and her dark humiliation path only starts now.
Some crappy h-tilt doujin
3. Akazu no Ma あかずの間 [970509] Visit 1
The story (written by Yoshikazu Takeuchi) is a futuristic one, taking place in a near future where the player's character arrives a a building tower in a helicopter and as soon as he arrives there strange things start to happening (he listen to girl screams, strange noises, etc.).
Another sound novel without a single person and about just wondering around the building. As usual, more about senses than a story.
4. Ice Cream アイスクリーム [970509] h.m.p
Come to the lively Shibuya area in Tokyo and get yourself a girlfriend! There are multiple nanpa techniques available to reach the goal. Nanpa games are boring.
5. Kuento ~Wasureenu Hibi ni~ クエント ～忘れ得ぬ日々に～ [970509] Excellents
Collection of three stories.
The first story is about girl Ai and her difficult life with the stepfather told from different perspectives.
All stories seem to have zapping perspectives. Since game only launches on WinME and lower, it's not hookable and I only glanced at other two stories without trying to understand anything. But the first story plot moves like this - Ai quarrels with father, then they hug, then get close. Next Ai past is shown up to the moment she got violated by a guy (and whom she might have killed afterwards). Her female friend that features on the cover listens to this story, gets moved by it and both girls make love, the end.
6. In'yoku no Meikyuu 淫欲の迷宮 [970516] Motion
In this adult hentai visual novel, you must defeat the devil in order to save a certain doctor's world. It has some 3D dungeon exploration such in Ultima. When you encounter enemy events, an animation is played.
Kusoge. 3D dungeon exploration. Much of exploration and H events are animated.
7. Photo Genic フォトジェニック [970516] Sunsoft
In Photo Genic the player controls a young boy that got a job as a photographer. The main goal of the game is to improve the boy stats and photograph skills to make him win the heart of one of the girls of the town.
During the game the player makes decisions about what his character will do each week (gymnastics, study, take another job, etc) to improve his stats. He also can walk around the town to talk to the people and the girls, the more in touch that he is with them the more possibilities to take a better photograph and date them. After taking the photographs the player can view them in the photo gallery.
There are three girls of interest. This work is interesting because it has SIM part as photographer and ADV part of wandering around the town and event scenes. Graphics of this game is really impressive with a lot of bright CG. Cute, but nothing else.
8. Dousei 同棲 [970523] Tactics 1 2
Dōsei is a social and sexual simulation game that focuses on the life of a young Japanese couple. Masaki Yamada and Manami Minase start living together shortly after having graduated from high school. Most of the game is dedicated to the depiction of their everyday life at home, of which the majority explicitly describes their sexual relationship.
That's our first Tactics (Key) game. Drawing is very similar to next "One" game. Game has an English review.
9. Fukushuu 復讐 [970523] Crowd 1
You are a high school student and were embarrassed in front of the class by 4 girls TWICE, each time it was involved with another girl. Now you decide it's time for getting your revenge and you have to choose a partner for additional help..
There is an English review.
10. Inshin Miko 淫心魅娘 [970523] T2 Co., Ltd.
During a date in an amusement park hero gets "demon soul" attached to his chest. The girl who did it is a foreign priestess and queen candidate. She asks hero to eliminate other candidates by depriving them from virginity. "Demon soul" attached to the chest slowly eats the soul and there's no other choice but cooperate.
Multiple branches and endings story. It's nice that there are quite many variants of story development and it's not necessary just to capture other priesteses. Capture is difficult as branching is not too evident and the ending depends on both whether to H different girls or not and in which priority to capture them.
11. Nouryokusha 脳力者 [970523] MBS Truth
Our guy got hit by a baseball in a park on his way home. This awaken his special mental powers. His power has 4 targets. They are his childhood girl, teacher, school badgirl, and adopted sister. Since he can see into their heart and can control them, he has his way with them. If he only go after the one he loves, she might save him when the time comes. The main part of this game is nasty, but the happy endings are very sweet.
Content is pretty dark and insulting, but character design is good enough to struggle to the happy ending. Story develops fast, so it's possible to see it all in an hour's time.
12. Ryuuteki Gosennen ~Dragons of China~ 龍的五千年 ～Dragons of China～ [970523] Imagineer Co., Ltd.
China, 2099 AD. During the construction of a new Olympics stadium, the ruin were found at the basement. The construction machinery damaged the sealed pot and a black dragon appeared from it with a thunder and flew away. He appeared in Tokyo and destroyed it to the ground and the next day the world was hit by multiple natural disasters bringing the humanity to the brink of extinction. At the global academic conference of ancient ruins it was decided to acquire the power of a good dragon in order to deal with the evil dragon. You are Ken, the participant of that conference and you hurry to find the good dragon of China.
Command selection adventure with occasional battles during movement. It's not a serious ADV game, more like and entertainment game for pupils to have fun with battles. Game also features very unusual character design.
13. Seiki ~Ryoujoku no Kamen~ 性鬼 ～陵辱の仮面～ [970523] Outlaw
The protagonist is a high school student that one day finds a magical mask that turns the wearer into a serial rapist, and uses his newly gained powers to score with several of his classmates.
Reverse bullying sick game. The only good thing is that there are several scenarios. System is especially bad as messages tend to skip and often first choice is selected despite your decision.
14. To Heart [970523] Leaf 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
In this game, you play as Fujita Hiroyuki, a high-school student who seems to have more interest in romance than in his studies. In his school there are several pretty girls, and his goal is to be nice to one of them, to make the right decisions when talking to her, and ultimately to win her heart.
There are English reviews of this game.
15. Nyo-Manji 女卍 [970529] iMAGE CLUB
Tokyo a century ago. Private detective Kudo Mauna is a famous expert in paranormal activities. Together with the legendary witchcraft "Masashi" user high school girl Ririmori Komori they accept a case request. One woman starts to feel abnormal activity inside her body. But the incident turns in an unexpected direction.
The only review I found says the hero eradicates something strange. Obscure ero-centered work.
16. Youjo Ranbu 2 妖女乱舞2 [970529] Zone 1
Your mother, on her last breath, reveals the secret of your identity. After that, you, the hero of the story, travels around the world as a mercenary to find more about where you came from, and as you perform more tasks you find out more about yourself.

You start off as a second year student of the school and you are on the student's council as well. Your goal is to be elected as the next student council's president at game end when the seniors graduate.
There is a good English review for this game.
18. Shuukan From H 週刊フロムＨ [970530] JAST
Atsushi, the son of a very rich man, returns from abroad to his hometown. After getting some quarrel, his father cancelled giving him money and now Atsushi has to find any temporary work around the whole city. You as Atsushi try various jobs – from stadium to the hospital or the news agency. There are also plenty of pretty girls around the city and you make attempts to get them known better and maybe even eventually date with one of them.
ADV with location choice on the map. Each week you try a new job and there's a new girl at each job. It's a light work with a comedy touch.
Diabolique and Hajimari no Kisetsu ~Izakaya Fuyu Monogatari~ are the masterpieces of the month, but Diabolique is a product of much bigger scale and thus is VN of the Month.
1. White Album [980501] Leaf 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
You play a university student whose girlfriend from highschool, Morikawa Yuki, is starting to become a very popular idol singer. Unfortunately, her popularity puts a strain on your relationship; you must either try to maintain the relationship or find someone else.
Game has many English reviews.
2. Yoi Sakura 宵桜 [980501] Fuuro
Keiichi Kikuchi is a 3rd grade student who likes to read and talks to the flowers on the roadside. There is a girl who is afraid to confess her feelings to him, there are cats who attack people at nights and there are other evils at school. Everything shall depend on the actions of the hero.
Setting is a mess and game relies on it only occasionally. Period is 5 days and you just wander around the school and bump into events, then night times and you wander some more generating different kind of events. The invasion of cats, occasional scary events, indifference towards events nearby - it all looks very random and fragmented. There are many mistakes in the text. Girls endings aren't seen as happy endings. There are still many well depicted insult scenes so probably it was ment as an eroge.
3. Akai Hitomi no Serafu 紅い瞳のセラフ [980502] Bishop
Kogo and his lover Ai are in a relationship for two years, but they never were intimate with each other. Even when Kogo's parents go on a trip his suggestion is rejected by Ai. Kago tried to summon a love angel with a spell, but failed with it. As a result, love of this world was confined and in order to save love he needs to enter the spirit world, interact with its inhabitants and rescue love withing a limited time period.
One way road with only bad ending on time limit expiration. Bishop is an eroge maker company, but this first work can actually be viewed as pure love story despite having some harsh content.
4. Kana-chan no Kanzen Kyuuketsu Manual かなちゃんの完全吸血マニュアル [980515] Segue Laboratory
Vampire girl Kana-chan is less than adult, but more than kid. She lives in the vampire family of four where only mother is actually a human. These are stories about Kana-chan first experiments with sexuality.
No synopsis to be found around, but CG don't really feature vampires and blood, it's sucking something else.
5. P.D. The Gate City P.D. The Gate City [980515] Platinum Soft
From ancient times there have been evil spirits to mislead human hearts. Paranormal awakening was become a way to combat these spirits. Awakening must be done through stimulating sensual body parts. Today this function is transferred to P.D. - psycho detectives. Main character such a detective who encounters a case of
ghost possession at an official reception.
Sadly, H-action still dominates here.
6. Succubus ~Ochita Tenshi~ サキュヴァス ～堕ちた天使～ [980515] Akatonbo
Main character Toshiki Kannazuki is an ordinary salaryman who lives with his lover. One day cousin invited his lover on a trip to Middle East country Taglania. Toshiki reluctantly agreed to let them go. However, an aircraft crash accident occurs and Toshiki flies over to try to identify the bodies. On arrival he meets a mysterious beauty Maya. He accepts her hospitality not knowing that succubus inhabits this region.
Story is actually very thin compared to the synopsis. Both girls are alive and are entangled into strange activities... that make the game NTR type. There are as many as 14 endings. Voicing is highly praised here.
7. Sunadokei 砂時計 [980521] Bell-Da
A corpse of a man is found at the hotel beach. The protagonist is an aspiring detective who agrees to solve this case while chasing after pretty girls staying at the hotel.
The whole investigation is asking pretty girls what they know/saw/think and that eventually solves the case. It's mostly an erotic game.
8. Castle Fantasia キャッスルファンタジア [980522] Studio e.go! 1 2
You are a knight named Varu who has a very beautiful girlfriend and is very happy with her. However, one day their kingdom get involved in a war, and the girl's parents die in it.

Varu becomes very depressed after this separation, but when he learns the religious group which took away his girlfriend became an evil cult that kidnaps girls and seeks resurrection of demons. But even more awful is the fact his ex-girlfriend is now the leader of this cult...
There's an English review of it.
9. Inu-domo no Jigoku 犬どもの地獄 [980522] Vision 1
Hero visits an inn in the town for the first time in 20 years. 20 years ago a tragedy happened there and he's interested in reinvigorating old memories. However, he can also make new memories with pretty girls of the inn.
Game is definitely an eroge. Vision excels in animation and there is indeed a huge number of animated H events here.
10. Yami no Sasayaki ~Dark Whisper~ 闇のささやき～Dark Whisper～ [980522] Misty
Michitaka Michigami studies at a full board school that puts a huge emphasis on martial arts. Students aren't allowed to leave school grounds and keep any devices including radio and there's a habit to obey teachers orders there. Hero and girl Reiko rebelled against excessively strict measures and got close to each other on this basis. What are the prohibited locations in this school for and what kind of experiment is being held there?
Single road adventure. SF school setting. Did not get far there due to bug of cycled dialogue options, but game has a very distinct erotic tilt.
11. Diabolique DiaboLiQuE－デアボリカ－ [980528] Alice Soft 1 2
In this world, here are two kinds of intelligent beings. One are humans and the other are Diaboliques. Diaboliques possess power, violence, intelligence, and eternal life. Their life form was categorized into four levels, the lowest division lacking intelligence, reproduction ability and beauty and the fourth being very intelligent and able to change form.

However, the two lovers were separated after Letticia was killed. They promised to see each other when she was reincarnated. Carrying with the promise, Azulite once again set off on a journey looking for Letticia.
There is an English review on this work, but I also wrote mine anyway.
12. Namaashi Club 5 x 5 生足くらぶ 5×5 [980528] Jam
Game imitates a TV show in which 5 females and 5 males ask questions to each other, fulfill tasks, form sympathy and form a couple if the sympathy is mutual.
There are five girls and five mini-games to win favorability. Game's pretty short.
13. Renkinjutsu no Musume 錬金術の娘 [980528] Black Package 1
Hero was born in a rich house and he uses assets to finance extreme alchemy experiments to recover lost secrets. There are three students in this academy to take care of and try new inventions effects in dungeons with.
So it's a raising SIM with items combinations. Visiting a private room with one of the three students is possible, but students coverage is thin. There's hardly any explanation at all. Not even of items do or when the next dungeon trip occurs and that's pretty bad since going in the dungeon without items is not good. No significant story noticed.
14. Shoujo Kakumei Utena ~Itsuka Kakumeisareru Monogatari~ 少女革命ウテナ いつか革命される物語 [980528] Sega 1 2
A side story of the Shoujo Kakumei Utena, set between episodes 8 and 9 of the TV series.
The protagonist is a female student who transfers to Ohtori Academy and becomes involved with the political intrigue and sword duels that characterize it.
There are two English reviews.
15. Dawn Slave ~Kisezu Toriko to Sareta Hime no Tokoro to Kokoro to Yoridokoro~ DAWN＊SLAVE ～期せず擒とされた姫の處と心と拠～ [980529] Ume Soft
When our guy found out that the princess he loves is going to be married out of country in a month, he hired a sorceress to help him kidnap her. The sorceress told him that a hero will come to rescue the princess in one month, so that is all the time he has to love or play with her. What will he do?
H training SIM with lots of different windows and menus. There are lots of endings. E.g. there are 4 endings dedicated to the death of heroine and 17 more endings depending on training result.
16. Gekka Bijin 月花美人 [980529] Speed 1 2 3
You just moved out from home where your stepmother and stepsister live, into a house where four other females live, including the landlady/caretaker. You also study in a local temple.

17. Hajimari no Kisetsu ~Izakaya Fuyu Monogatari~ はじまりの季節 ～居酒屋冬物語～ [980529] R.A.N Software 1
The protagonist's relationship with his girlfriend is not doing very well. She's even being courted by his boss! In an effort to rekindle their love, he takes her on a vacation to a ski resort. But will that be enough to win back her heart?
Game has a good English review.
18. Koko wa Rakuensou 3 ここは楽園荘3 [980529] Foster
His girlfriend from #1 came back. Now what is he going to do since he already has a girlfriend from #2. He will have to decide which one he wants, but in the mean time, he still enjoys the girls around him. This time, he can pick one of two girlfriends or stay the same as before.
Third part of the series is not translated to English and thus less known. The love triangle is a new feature, but the game really treats relations lightly. When found in a pinch hero just goes to sleep and it gets to resolve somehow by itself. And there are still lots of sub-heroines for cheerful and light H events.
19. Konpeki Tou Kumiai 紺碧塔組合 [980529] Outlaw
Master Ladrinado Oz traveled to the Emerald City adventurer guild headquarters to become a hero. Together with the seven companions their adventure begins.
Even though it's SRPG, there aren't its usual elements like attack or defend stats or elements... mechanics take some time to get used to, like attacking is not profitable, but counterattack is much more favorable. Your enemies will include sailor schoolgirls, shrine maidens, swimsuit schoolgirls etc
20. Mind [980529] Manbou Soft
Kitamiya is a shop clerk at purchasing department of high school. Using a dubious aphrodisiac that does remain in the memory he sets up physical examination sessions for various girls.
Volume is small and contents ero-centered. Neither scenario, nor characters are appealing.
21. Monmon Gakuen ~Tenkousei~ もんもん学園～ten・ko・sei～ [980529] JAST 1 2 3 4 5
I am a dreamer. Whether I'm fantasizing about my upperclassman Terumi-senpai or Dad's hot new wife, all I need to make my dreams come true is a box of tissue and a little privacy -- preferably in my bathroom stall, second from the left. I like to roam the school or town for delicious girls who I can meet and have sex with in my fantasy world.
I like even created my own personal "dream girl" to make my sexual fantasies even better. She's the perfect girl for me in every way -- just the right hair and face, graceful yet willing to please me. Her name is Shiho. Imagine my surprise when my "imaginary" girlfriend transfered into my school one day! I couldn't believe it, but there she was, the Shiho of my fantasy world, right in front of me. Will it be possible for me to discover the true nature of Shiho and why she has come to me?
Having my fantasy girl come to life has been pretty confusing, but it's just part of how complex my life has become lately. My stepsister, Motoka, seems to have picked up a thing for me, which is a turn-on, I admit, but jeez, she's like my sister, even if we're not related by blood. My stepmother, Akemi, keeps dressing in sexy lingerie around the house because she says it's hot. And Terumi-senpai, the upperclassman I hang around with, keeps treating me like a kid even though I want to show her I'm really a man. What's a guy to do?
Game is localized and has several English reviews.
22. Psycho Therapist Min サイコセラピスト眠 [980529] J-Box
Psycho therapist receives patients and helps them to overcome their complexes.
A nukige of not really high quality.
23. Reborn's Day ~Tsukiyo no Dekigoto~ Reborn's Day ～月夜の出来事～ [980529] Pinpai 1
Hero stayed at school on a full moon night. In the moonlight he saw the girls that were different from usual. They had scars due to their own weaknesses and desires that remained hidden at daytime.
Will the hero be able to feel their wounds?
Story is shaped as hero's monologue. Basically, there's little story. Hero wanders around the school in the evening and some events momentarily occur to him. Game is of fragmentary nature and ends with a fancy which is a waste for the unique atmosphere it creates. There are several heroine ends, but there are also some not pleasant bad ends. Text is good, but it's a sensualist thing rather than a coherent story. There's an English review.
24. Ronron 3 on 6 Bishoujo Mahjong Battle RONRON3on6 美少女麻雀バトル [980529] Hanamaru
Strip mahjong with erotic scenes depend on main character choice : normal man, perverted SM man and lesbian foreigner girl.
Since it's a mahjong game... who cares.
25. Kusairo no Hitomi 腐色の瞳 [9805] RGB
People have feared darkness from ancient times, so they exposed themselves to the light. To protect themselves they started using armors and swords and invented ethics to get rid of anxieties. Cthulhu myths materialize in this darkness and assault the girls full of primordial terror.
Rare Cthulhu-themed doujin game
There should be no two opinions about this, Comic party rocked May 1999. It's very difficult for a SIM to gain my approval, but all the elements fit here perfectly. So far there have not been more than a couple of doujin games released, but this game has woken the devil of 2000s.
1. Girl Doll Toy Gaiden Azami Girl Doll Toy 外伝 AZAMI [990514] Uran
Protagonist is a Treasure Hunter who comes to a foreign land to get Miron 's treasure, but is reported and arrested by archaeologist Yuki. Hero agrees to cooperate and gets released - together with Yuki they get on an adventure.
Story is good, but system is troublesome so it can't be really recommended. You need to move around the map yourself with a keyboard and check every square. Uran got turned on Doll Toy and he's getting the third game in this franchise just in July 1999. That's all that's known about this game and it's a pain to get, actually. In order to run it needs both data cd and the diskette with execuatable file - the latter one especially rare.
2. Gogatsu no Koro 5月の頃 [990514] Hyperspace
One hot May afternoon hero has some free time after school to flirt with girls inside school or outside of it.
Game's on a really horrible engine akin to macromedia flash. I did not find a way to adjust speed or skip, so it's been very painful for me. The first BGM contains a song which was very nice. Game tries to create animation effect by changing perspective a bit. But after all it's just a nukige.
3. Otona no Omochaya-san 大人のおもちゃ屋さん [990514] Desire
Hero's uncle got hospitalized uncle asking his nephew to change him at the adult store. Hero got unemployed and kicked out of the apartment recently and thus needs money, so can not turn such offer down. Various types of women visit the shop and ask consultation regarding their sexual problems. Now what's hero going to do?
There are three heroines each with own ending. Just talking is not enough, it's most important to choose the right instrument for the woman in need. Anyway, it's a HCG game through and through.
4. Venus Revolution ヴィーナスレヴォリューション [990514] Art-Club
Once per several hundred years the Gods summon a human to their domain for eight days to study human nature. Main character is such a summoned man. Different Gods represent different elements and main character is given cards representing different elements to use wisely in conversations.
It's plain horrible. It's just a hundred megabytes in size, ugly, with only mouse control, no skipping or even instant text drawing and with zero options at all... After small introduction you're thrown on a map where you can visit different Gods and use conversation cards... That's basically it, with clever use of cards and diligence you should gain any God's trust.
5. Marionette Company マリオネットカンパニー [990520] Micro Cabin 1
In Marionette Company your character happens to come across a broken android girl (called "marionettes" in the game) weakly crying for your help inside a cardboard box abandoned in dark alleyway. You of course decide to pick the poor thing up and repair her to the best of your ability. However there's still much work to be done on her to make her as "human" as possible.
There's an English review of this game.
6. Nureginu ぬれぎぬ [990520] Take
Two years ago there was a series of killings with rape going on for two months, but police never found the culprit. Main character witnessed at that time how a middle-aged man was violating his acquaintance, but was paralyzed with fear and could not do anything and that woman was found dead.
Nowadays the killings have started again. Hero wants to protect everyone he knows, but will he be able to do that?
Game does not have reviews, just one impression that it's an ordinary suspense game with bad save system and BGM disappearing at random. Indeed, you choose the save slot only once when you start and there's not menu to call during the game, so I guess it's just one save which really harms the replayability. There are about 10 choices to make and I only played it to the end once and in the end just died from... something since did not do the right things to prevent future crimes, I guess. Game system is really not nice. Only operation with mouse possible and if you press skip - it goes all the way to the next choice selection without the ability to manually stop where you want. It takes some time for the line to draw and I could not find speed adjustment. So it's a really nice game, but game mechanics killed any motivation to explore in anyone, I guess.
7. Collector コレクター [990521] Noise
A few years after the big breakthrough in space navigation a gorgeous space cruise ship was hit by space pirate ship "Ganymede". Their purpose was to insult the beautiful women until they got bored and to store girls in frozen capsules. It seemed like collecting beautiful butterflies. Among the frozen hostages was Queen Julia... Main character special agent Kazu infiltrates the pirate ship to put an end to pirates dealings.
Game's a mix of everything so that it looked like a movie - opening, fighting scenes, shooting minigame, maze of the ship, four girls to rescue sequentially and of course lots of H events scattered everywhere.
8. Cowboy Baby カウボーイベイベー [990521] Triangle
US wild west. Billy Hickok got into debts and is offered to work as a bouncer at the bar till he repays his debt.
Game's a bakage, but a really funny one and with a good tempo. Difficulty is low and even if you happen to trigger a game over, there's an option to replay just from the last choice or battle. There are also blackjack and poker mini-games, but those are mostly useful after initial game clearance, since after that bonus undressing card game appears. Only main heroine Etta gets an ending, but it slightly changes depending on how relations with her advanced so far. All girls are voiced. First playthrough takes 5-6 hours, but in order to see all the CGs multiple playthroughs are needed.
9. Hikari no Naka de Dakishimete ひかりの中で抱きしめて [990521] Sepia
Hero happens to be in a bullet train that's just been hijacked. He manages to disarm one of hijackers in the toilet takes his mask and weapon. But he's tempted by the situation as he can freely harass any passengers now...
Insult SIM... which is especially funny since the title and the cover are absolutely fitting for a pure love game. There are about 10 characters for capture.
10. Me for You [990521] Aquarium
Software development studio. Main character Hayama Seiichi was appointed to control the department where all the losers are sent and no results are expected at all. Now that there is a person with actual experience in software development things have got lively, but most of personnel lack the skills for serious work. Are hero's efforts wasted in the end? Basically it's a SIM and it's needed both to build relations with each team member and work towards the end goal - game release. Palette of the game is quite dim and character designs are not pretty, just as in previous Aquarium games. Not my type of a game and no reviews to check the ending content.
11. Sakura Biyori さくら日和 [990521] May-Be Soft
Ronji Mizushima failed to pass entrance exams and moved to Sakura Heights boarding house to study as ronin. He chose this place because the rent was cheap and landlord was a beautiful woman. It turned out that it was inhabited only by women and thus his life in an apartment full of women begins.
It's mostly remembered by the description on the box "How much ecchi can SLG contain"? And the answer is a LOT. Even though it's a raising SIM, all the girls are nymphomaniacs. Still it's most unusual for such boring genre as a raising SIM to be H-oriented, so I'll let it slip for now. There are some 8 heroines and also guests who make only occasional appearance. We take care of hero's weekly schedule for 11 months. There are four parameters to worry about.
12. Seikon ~Inbou Uzumaku Byoutou de Tadareta Soukanzu~ 性痕 ～淫謀うずまく病棟で爛れた相関図～ [990521] T・STAFF Software
Hospital is engulfed in conspiracy. Chairman and director parties oppose each other. Main character is a new doctor, so he soon becomes an object of fierce confrontation with the use of even prohibited means of competition.
Pretty bad quality and inevitably H tilt.
13. Corridor ~Meikairou~ Corridor ～迷回廊～ [990527] Picori
Main character lived with his mother till she died. Having no place to, he came to his mysterious father in search of shelter. He was allowed to get inside. But this family has a lot of dark secrets that he will have to face now.
Basically it's a nukige. There are at least several endings, but endings mostly mean a different H event path. No voicing. Dim palette.
14. Onegai! Maid☆Roid おねがい! メイド☆ロイド [990527] Neon
In the future mankind succeeded to develop independent type androids, Maid☆Roid as new workers in place of human servants. The family of main character bought one such android as a maid. Actually I failed to launch the game on any system till read in the only review that game does not launch without official patch. Hero gradually gets in love with android maid in the first half of the game and goes all out in the second one. But there are also lots of other maid girls with full voiced H scenes. Hero's a rich spoiled brat and he can afford going every day to a strip club for some special service. Anyway, game's just for H and maid fetish.
15. Akatsuki no Ganshou 暁の岩礁 [990528] Ume Soft
Main character is a teacher at a private girls' school. One day he and his students set off on excursion to Yokohama port and then by luxurious liner "Ingleb" to Hong Kong. However, they fall into a trap set by someone just before departure. Can they safely survive?
There are nine girls and each has her own unique survival route to follow even though they all start off the same prologue. One route takes roughly one hour. There are a lot of time limit events with bad end prepared. Some routes involve mini-games. The gags are surprisingly mature and best fit for the age of 30s. So it's very difficult to stuff something more than a suspense action scenario and a hasty H-event in one-hour route and that's exactly what this game is.
16. Comic Party こみっくパーティー [990528] Leaf 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Early April, Kazuki Sendō is invited by his friend, Taishi Kuhonbutsu, to come with him to Tokyo Big Sight. He is surprised to see thousands of people waiting in line to get in. Apparently they're at Comic Party, a giant dōjinshi convention. Once inside, Kazuki meets some of the dōjinshi artists and is surprised to find himself enjoying their work. Taishi convinces Kazuki to draw dōjinshi after their visit because he recognizes Kazuki's skill as an artist, but Kazuki's childhood friend Mizuki tries to talk him out of it because she believes otakus are smelly, dirty, and disgusting. Her reasoning doesn't help because Kazuki already made up his mind and begins to draw his first dōjinshi.
Game has lots of English reviews.
17. Flora Festa FLORA Festa [990528] Outou Shobou In Side
A collection of thee erotic manga strips and three mazes corresponding different girls. Every corner in the maze triggers an erotic scene.
This can barely be called a visual novel, only technically. No story, nothing. Each event is either HCG or H event with text only describing H event. It's more like art gallery, but that unlocks only gradually, not all at once. Engine is horrible macromedia flash, operation mouse only.
18. Galfro ~Gal's Frontier~ ぎゃるふろ ～Gal's Frontier～ [990528] Pias
Protagonist is a magazine photographer tasked with taking erotic photos of girls.
Yet another nukige. Choose location, choose one of the directions for search - find girl - ask three questions - BAM - H event - repeat. No story whatsoever, but 39 heroines to see HCG.
19. Hana no Shizuku 華の滴 [990528] MBS Truth
Main character lost parents early, but recently his brother died as well leaving him pension house to manage. Hero has always been in love with his sister-in-law who later became his brother's wife.
A famous novelist was staying at the pension house and he asked main character for inspiration for his new lustful story. Main character persuades his sister-in-law to comply, and the pension house turns into lust feast. I did not expect anything good out of MBS Truth from the start, but that kind of synopsis does not even try to look like a decent game anymore. Full-scale nukige.
20. Ichibatsu Hyakkai ~Onimaru Mahjong Hyakki Yakou~ 一罰百快 ～鬼丸麻雀百鬼夜行～ [990528] Otemoto
Youkai attack girls at school, but in order to draw the beast from a possessed body it's required to defeat the spirit in a mahjong game.
A month is not complete without another strip mahjong game. The quota is filled, moving on.
21. Innai Kansen 2 淫内感染2 [990528] ZyX
From #1, our doctor has collected a bunch of pets, including the hospital manager's daughter. To gain control of the hospital, he still has to deal with the assistant manager and a rival doctor. To do that, he needs to collect more pets. Strange that some of the girls actually love him.
This is a better known nukige, but nukige nevertheless. And this time it's getting even creepier.
22. Jigsaw no Machi ジグソーの街 [990528] Sakura Soft
Hero works as a private detective. One night while investigating a yakuza case he notices a girl he knows from somewhere. He saw her in a mysterious dream. He feels like his past also changed after the meeting. The Jigsaw puzzle started to collect together. To unveil the secret he needs a month. Hero and that girl shared a dream six years ago. Now hero chooses to live a new life in a dream. And with the last piece of Jigsaw puzzle set in place, a new town appears in front of him.
Don't ask. Someone smoked the wrong weed. No new town appears, at least it's indiscernible from the old one. But detective gets to meet more and more girls followed by H events. There are no reviews or even impressions, but the only walkthrough around says there are two routes. The one I got ended with some Yakuza armed conflict and happy end with main heroine. Game's not voiced. Character design is rough. Almost every girl wears glasses - there are two true meganekko and others wear glasses only occasionally. So there just aren't enough appeal points to even try to get to know what's happening with the poor detective.
23. Mujintou Monogatari RR 無人島物語RR [990528] KSS Inc.
Events take place on an uninhabited island around Hawaii. There is electricity and basic facilities ready. Resort love story begins now!
Game's gone pretty far from its origins. There is no superficial element of prequels and there is basically everything ready and it's even a resort... really... it's survival game series, not a vacation rabu-rabu, for god's sake! Battle gets really like jrpg. This is one of the last games in the series and I think everyone got tired reinventing the same setting for the 10th time.
24. Pile Driver PILE・DRIVER [990528] Blue Gale 1
Walking to school in the morning with his childhood girl, our guy isn't feeling too great because lack of sleep. Fainting at the morning meeting and falling into the hands of the school nurse cheered him up some. He now has courage and experience to go after 9 girls. This is mostly a story game, with few choices but will get you to some pretty nice endings.
There is an English review.
25. Pythian ピュティア [990528] Studio e.go!
The world collapsed, before that, people would actively researching Psionics. In the new era, people who with psionics power became decadent aristocracy and dominate the continent for years. Rebellion broken out and took over, soon neighbouring country took the chance to invade.
Protagonist suffered amnesia, believing that artefacts have a link to his memory recovery, come to the capital to investigate surrounding ruins amid the chaos.
SRPG. There are 15 chapters, each with 0 to 3 battles. Game balance is not the best. Story is very difficult to grasp - it's not integral enough and some plot twists look really random. Game features special undressing system.
26. Seisen Ren'ai Yuugi 聖戦 恋愛遊戯 [990528] Rare
Frontier planet "XIAN" far from the Earth. There are no planetary governments and the two major conglomerates of Ron and Zoroa dominate and prosper by free trade. Ryuta graduated from the military academy and came to Shan, the land of memories of his deceased father. He was welcomed by Ron Ron, the general commander of the army, and was invited to the Mayfa Corps Base, which is the headquarters. In the meantime president Ray Long suddenly dies. At the same time unknown identity enemies attack the base. Ryuta picks up three young ace pilot girls and tries to organize defense. From now on they are being swallowed by the war...
Tactic strategy mix. Only one girl pilots the mecha and it depends on favorability. In battle there are three types of robots: proximity type, middle range type, and long range type. Enemy turns take quite a long time. When girl attacks, you gain favorability, when she suffers damage or you're far from her, you lose favorability. One playthrough is about 8 hours.
27. Suzu ga Utau Hi 鈴がうたう日 [990528] Tactics
A small town along the sea. A slight tide smell in the air ... in such a town I met a girl. Girl's name is Suzu. That small incident changed the boring summer and turned it into an irreplaceable season that I won't be able to forget till the rest of my life...
Split with Key was devastating for Tactics. Their new game has the same systems as "One". The text is quite bad, but some gags are ok. You need to choose places on a the map and check if it triggers some event, so it's not really fun. Game period is 20 days. One playthrough is just 3 hours. There's no voicing. Characters are... I don't know, but anything but cute. Only Suzu route has some meaning in it, but it's not good either. A very plain and much more inferior game than "One".
28. Yashoku 夜食 [990528] Telluru
Hiroyuki is the second year ronin now. He starts to lose faith in himself and gets drunk with drink regularly. One such night he descends from the last train at an unknown station and meets a mysterious woman next to a cafe. She invited him to work here as a part-time-job, and hero could not say no to working with lots of pretty girls. Now which one of the will warm his heart?
Game's bright, funny at places and has very cool voicing. But in the end it's just chasing girls H oriented game. At least some girls are interesting enough to actually get to an end.
29. Zoku Gekka Bijin ~Ouka no Koro~ 続月花美人 ～桜花の頃～ [990528] 1
Town in the mountains Totamachi. There is a mountain named Sakura that holds a shrine with the same name. One day wife of shrine caretaker found a child crying at the shrine. She issued a report about the lost child to the police, but child's parents were not found. That child was called "Akito" and later adopted. But after three years caretaker's wife gave birth to a child herself. From that day Akito became a threat for the shrine owner who wanted his own child to inherit from him. And animosity between two men grew fiercer with each passing day...
There is one short review, but it tackles all the main points all right. There is daytime AVG part and night time training SIM part, but the latter one is not really necessary.
Quite a bland month with few games. There aren't masterpieces this month, but I still need to choose the game of the month that I would record on video. So I need to choose something without gameplay elements, too much insult and not too evident plot. The only game that suits my demands is Purepure, and thus it's the game of the month that deserves a video playthrough.
1. Costume☆Paradise ~Cinderella Rhapsody~ こすちゅうむ☆パラダイス ～シンデレラ狂想曲～ [000512] Rhapsody
A huge entertainment theme park "Cinderella" is build on an island in Tokyo Bay aimed to "fulfill all people's dreams". Hero is a medical college student who works here as a part-time emploee. The hourly is sky high, but he is required to cosplay along with the girls. He overcomes embarrassment and starts to pay attention to the cute girls around him.
It's mostly a comedy. It's possible to chase pure love or step the devil path. Not particularly interesting, but quite unique and memorable.
2. Marionette Company 2 Chu! マリオネットカンパニー 2 [000518] Micro Cabin 1
In the game, you play a student in a high school - I believe you're supposed to be the same guy from part 1, as you keep on having memories of the Marionette from the original game. One day, you stumble upon a pair of abandoned marionettes, one called Marine and the other called Maria. You take Marine under your care while a rival and all-together obnoxious classmate called Arese takes Maria under hers'. Arese is under the impression that marionettes are nothing more than robots with a heart made of computer circuits, but your experience with part 1, where you apparently managed to raise the original marionette to near human form, has you convinced otherwise, and you intend to prove Arese wrong.
Finally focus has been shifted from training to adventure in sequel. We mostly run around getting the elements from shops or elsewhere, from those elements we gather upgrade parts. We choose the parts ourselves, so can tune up marionette appearance. It's basically a galge now with lots of events triggered by upgrades. There is not just one girl now, but it's possible to target other ones. Duration has been cut from 6 months in prequel to just one month.
3. Kakuriyo no Mon 幽世ノ門 ～かくりよのもん～ [000519] Air Plants
In the ancient times gods created three worlds and gates between them separating human world from ghost worlds. Yagami has no parents and lives with his grandfather. He comes from an ancient demon hunter birth-line who have guarded the gates between the worlds for as long as the world existed. Yagami is one of five guardians of different elements - he is the the master of fire. After meeting one girl his live starts to change rapidly.
At least there is some story. So I started it. This is mostly a comedy. It starts with the hero, girl Moe and a bodyguard come to skyscraper and they start to explore it room by room finding all kinds of crazy cults inside the rooms (including H events there). When they get to one of the top floors eventually there's some master that teaches us about five elements and which element offsets what. Well, I've spent over half an hour there and still can't make through it, so it's a drop. I've looked at the screen of this pentagram already, drawn it myself, nothing really helps - there must be a time limit which is not shown. Anyway, game has serious system flaws. First, there is autoplay, but it kind of stops after scene sequence and I have to click manually on. There is voicing in the first scene, but actually no voicing on. Sound levels are non-adjustable and bgm roars like mad luckily ending in some 30 seconds each time. Game is a comedy, but up to that point I did not find jokes and situations funny at all. As it's reported in the only review found battles are same torturing further on - enemies attributes change constantly over time and you need to counter it with the right element within time limit each time. What a bothersome game. First playthrough time is only two hours.
4. Oni no Sumu Sakura 鬼ノ棲ム桜 [000519] AnotherRoom
The university college mystery research group tries to recreate the events of a legend that happened 300 years ago. At that time young priest arrived at "Touchou Shrine" and was a witness of 60 villagers massacre from the hands of a demon. That priest managed to defeat the demon in the end.
The research club has a bullied member who's going to have his revenge this night. As the bells ring only red moon envelops the screams of the girls. Only unstoppable desire and murderous intent governs this night so that the legend gets repainted.
The synopsis is not your usual nukige stuff, so I need to elaborate. It's pretty much a nukige, but with killings. And it is such, because the scenario is really bad - the outline is drawn vaguely and pretty much nothing is explained - like why or how the character was bullied. The content is thin as it basically follows the same pattern of insult - kill each time.
5. Shinobi no Hana ~Kunoichi Shimai no Chousen~ 忍ノ華 ～くノ一姉妹の挑戦～ [000519] Aqua House
Main character is an unsuccessful detective who struggles to catch a gangster girl. One evening he hears a rumor that the legendary thief is going to rob the art museum at night. When he arrives at the destination he finds there the Kaito group of female ninja who accumulate wealth to revive the ninjutsu art. The mystery gradually deepens.
And another bakage. There is also dungeon crawl and combat. Full-voice. Despite the relatively big number of girls, there is only one happy ending with the main heroine. Last boss is undefeatable without applying the patch. The content lacks the impact compared to other notable bakage of the same time.
6. Shoujo Circus 少女サーカス [000519] Evolution
Main character lived with his mother who just died. At her funeral he gets a letter from his disappeared father inviting to join a small circus team. Hero joins the team and admires the cute girls there. However, a few days later father collapses from overwork and hero has to run the circus till his father recovers. Can he manage this difficult task?
Since cover and synopsis are neutral enough, let's talk about the content. It's a SIM - you need to earn as much money as possible, and quite ero-tilt with nasty pictured H events.
7. Start [000519] Bell-Da
Daydreaming about his childhood girl at work gets a frypan on his head from the same girl. Thus starts this girl chase game. He can go after 5 girls, while bringing up stats that the girls like. Most girls know/love him from before, he just have to get close to them to find out. Hope he can start a new life with the girl he loves.
Ugh, Bell-Da is known for a long history of producing ero-centered works and this one is not really an exception. At least there is a rasing SIM part here.
8. Seikai no Monshou 星界の紋章 [000525] Bandai Namco Entertainment 1
Linn Jinto's life changes forever when the Humankind Empire Abh takes over his home planet of Martine without firing a single shot. He is soon sent off to study the Abh language and culture and to prepare himself for his future as a nobleman — a future he never dreamed of. Or wanted. Now, Jinto is entering the next phase of his training, and he is about to meet his first Abh, the lovely Lafiel. But Jinto is about to learn that she is more than she appears to be. And together they will have to fight for their very lives.
Anime was popular enough, but releasing the game on PS as a space strategy was doubtful at the least. 67 different space battles! There are two main routes and three endings overall.
9. St. Luminous Jogakuin 聖ルミナス女学院 [000525] Xing Entertainment 1
A dating sim adaptation of the 1998 original anime by Genco. When his grandfather dies, Kaihei inherits the post of chairman at an eccentric private girl's school which emphasizes the personal freedom of its students. But he arrives to find that one of the students has gone missing. As he investigates Melina's disappearance more students vanish, strange events occur and his position is placed under increasing pressure from teachers and parents.
Hero puts lots of hidden cameras and cross-dresses to find out the source of girls disappearances, but it's a ps1 game, so it's gonna be clean. Conversation card system is introduced with only three cards possible to be used per encounter. We also manage money since we're given a budged of 30 million yen and we're constantly pestered to spend money on various projects. It looks like the game is built on anime success alone.
10. Avaron [000526] Zone 1
The hero's name is Adalk. One day, his mother dies, telling him that he had been adopted - he was found as a little baby in the town's streets, with a strange symbol engraved on his clothes. Adalk is determined to find out the truth about himself. But first of all he needs some money, so he begins to work as a mercenary, receiving quests from town inhabitants. Before long he hooks up with some pretty girls, each with her own agenda, who will accompany him on his travels. Avaron is a re-vamped version of Youjo Ranbu 2. It has the same graphics, music, and gameplay system. The story was somewhat altered and expanded; the characters join your party more easily and give more information about themselves. Compared to "Youjo Ranbu 2", "Avaron" has more dialogues, but no voice acting. Cut scenes were re-done, with more full-screen pictures. During battles, party members' attacks are now displayed as anime-style pictures of the characters performing the attack, instead of the simple graphical effects of "Youjo Ranbu 2".
There's nothing really to talk about since it's mostly graphical renewal.
11. Cartagran -Shoujo Shuryouki- CARTAGRAN －少女狩猟機－ [000526] Soleil
Hundreds of years have passed since humankind was destroyed by "Aka" beasts that appeared out of nowhere Dr. Georg and his assistant Alicia are living alone and conducting research of producing "new human beings" that would be able to eradicate the monsters. But shortly before the prototype "Mizuki" is completed, the lab is attacked by a powerful armed group. Mizuki is going on a journey in search of a powerful monster to extract the necessary organ to save his creators and future humankind...
Game is low-cost and pretty mysterious. There aren't any normal reviews around and comments only say it's unsatisfactory. We play as Mizuki. There are five episodes and multiple endings. There are fights in first person dungeon crawl way. There is HP pool and commands that need to be chosen within time limit. Scenario is quite awful and unenjoyable. Systems are very bad. There are quite many insult elements throughout the game. Still the character design and cool protagonist make me curious...
12. Hello Again [000526] Active
Togo Heiji is a problem kid who is suddenly transferred to a special school where children with superpowers are brought up. What will be his school life like there?
Genre is moege. Game takes 3 weeks and about 3 hours to beat for the first time while consequent playthroughs only take one hour. It's mostly a comedy work and text is ok. There are 6 heroines and 6 endings. Second half of the game has more serious approach and some drama development. Heroines are likable and CG are good, though rather few.
13. Kitamakura Hakase no Yuuutsu 北麻鞍博士の憂鬱 [000526] Project-μ
At the end of the 20th century humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis, however most of people are unaware of it. Main character Dr. Kurashira has a genius mind, but he is treated as mad scientist, because he knows the truth of the world... He tracks down school girls who possesses excellent genes in order to pass them to the future generation. But will girls cooperate?
As you could have guessed, it's stalking and insulting girls for the sake of humankind. Overall length for all scenarios is just around four hours. There are five characters for H events - an android assistant, three girls and a boy. But it' s a gag comedy and there are a lot of ironical descriptions scattered around. So nice debut work overall, will look forward to their following releases.
14. Natural 2 -DUO- Natural2 -DUO- [000526] Fairytale 1
Twin sisters, Chisato and Kuu, lost their parents, and they were adopted by an old man. Then they met Shoma. Shoma was living with his grandfather because his parents were going to get divorced. Chisato was a tomboy, while Kuu was a crybaby. They both liked Shoma.
10 years have passed since then. Shoma gave up his dream to become a violinist and worked as an editor of a music magazine office. To hear the grandfather’s death, he went to the house and he had a reunion with the two girls who had become beautiful women... It's a galge without story. Text is surprisingly good and there is no inconvenience while reading. There are raising SIM elements incorporated. There's both pure love route and devil route for heroines. Pure love part feels a bit short overall. Devil part results in turning the partner into a slave and there is no happy ending after that (which is good imho). Overall feeling that it's an ero-centered work, but not necessarily a nukige.
15. Purepure ピュアピュア [000526] Ange
On the moonless night the hero stumbles upon a strange girl. She speaks of herself as master of ceremonies that was kicked out due to being useless. She ends up living with the hero. What's there behind her past?
Work is mainly a comedy with some serious resolution in the second half. There is no voicing. Quality of the game is quite low.
16. S.N.O.W [000526] Xuse
The hero is a producer. His close friend dies and hero decides to take over his project and promote new idol band "SNOW". However, members of this band are all problem children. Will the project be a success?
General route dill band disband takes 5 hours and individual routes afterwards only 30 minutes each. There is a training SIM part in the common route. The final concert before breaking up is well done. There is a happy ending for each heroine, but there are bad endings as well. Game is full-voiced except for protagonist. H element is weak, just one scene for each. Pink hair girl calls the hero onii-chan and turns out to be his real sister eventually.
17. Soyokaze no Uta ~Breeze Passed Us By~ 微風の詩 ～Breeze passed us by～ [000526] Tomato
Hero is on the last summer vacation in his school life and he still does not have a girlfriend. Pull yourself together, gather savings, learn girls tastes and forward you go! It's all in the synopsis. It's a common SIM. There is just one savepoint. It's not clear at what time girls get to which location so lots of research needed. Money is scarce and travelling around the town costs money so it's easy to find yourself unable to return home. It's realistic, but too troublesome. It becomes monotonous fast. I thought those kinds of games were left in the 1990s.
18. Last Scene ~Boku ga Kimi ni Dekiru Koto~ Last Scene ～僕が君にできること～ [000529] Maika
Our guy became a doctor in order to try to find a cure for his girlfriend's disease. Now that he is a doctor, he found out that she only has seven days to live. Will he try to find a cure with some nurses' help, spend time with her at a seaside hotel, or resort to drastic measures?
Lots of animation is promised but animated sequences are few. There is just one save which is inconvenient for multiple endings and there are some 24 endings. There are endings for each taste and at least 7 of them are good. Overall impression is ok, but there are quite many dark routes.

There aren't masterpieces this month, but I evaluate Sapphism no Gensou higher than any other game this month. Wanted to review it myself, but there are too many English reviews already from the yuri army. I'll be playing Femme Fatale since it's the prequel of Edelweiss that I have certain hopes about.
1. Sora no Fudousan 空の浮動産 [010504] Jitensha Sougyou
Near future. Magic has been invented a year ago, and law faculties now study magic. Magic has become an object of numerous regulations. This is a story of a freshman entering such faculty. Game uses the same system as Ano, Subarashii o Mou Ichido that we saw in 1999. That roughly means countless restarts and reloads to find items and hints to bring them back to the saved game. It sounds like pain, and it IS pain.
2. Love Love Teatime らぶらぶティータイム [010511] Actress
Main character gets a part-time job at a coffee shop. There are really cute waitresses working there, but is it possible to go out with a girl met at work?
In two weeks it's needed to raise favorability rate with one of seven girls. Moege with 3-5 H scenes per heroine. Surprisingly, there's a quite decent route about time travel that opens only after all the girls are captured.
3. Silence ~Seinaru Yoru no Kane no Naka de...~ Silence～聖なる夜の鐘の中で・・・～ [010511] e-Erekiteru 1
Our hero has been working day and night on preparations for the school festival. He suddenly experiences a blinding headache and is taken to the hospital. He is diagnosed with a brain tumor and is admitted into the reputable Saint Nicola Hospital. There are eerie rumors that ghosts have been sighted. Just what is it with this hospital? Frightened by his worsening condition, our hero is comforted by the various girls he comes across in the hospital. Christmas swings around as death approaches. . .
Choices diverge into various paths as conversations with girls are taken up in this picture novel. As the player, you can decide how our hero's remaining days will be spent to face the approaching end: To leave without regrets. Even with such an overbearing theme, it really is a refreshing piece of work that we know you'll enjoy.
There are nine heroines to capture including secret one that appears after clearing all other good and bad endings. Scenario is thin. One route takes about 1.5 hours. Protagonist is cruel and selfish. No voicing. Game leaves a poor impression.
4. Trouble Witch!! とらぶるウィッチ～ズ！！ [010511] For 1
An inexperienced magician has mistakenly sent our hero and Orihime to the dream world. They want to go back to the real world as soon as possible, but it looks like it will take more than a month just to prepare for the ceremony to send them back. Until then, they have to stay with Pastel, the inexperienced magician, who brought them here in the first place.
This is an orthodox AVG with very cute characters. You will get to meet the following exciting characters: Orihime, Pastel, Milfiyu, Princess Acerola, Chocola, and Maroon. The disagreeable Cacao will also appear, as he tries to capture Orihime.
Content is boring as there is no real aim in the game, just waiting. Good text and characters though.
5. Bunchasai ぶんちゃさい [010518] Jade
Main character somehow becomes a school festival executive committee member. He gets a task to find participants in cute girls competition as school mascots.
Period is 5 days pre-festival and 2 days during festival. One playthrough takes less than 2 hours, but some heroines have two endings. Since it's a charage, evaluation depends on affection towards the girls.
6. Sapphism no Gensou サフィズムの舷窓 [010518] Liar-soft 1 2 3 4 5
Story takes place on a fanciful, all-girl educational institution that floats along the oceans. Despite the complete absence of men, there have been incidents of rape among the passengers and crew. No one knows who it is just yet, but there are three candidates that carry the high probability of being the next target. Suspense and mystery await as the women suspect one another to be the perpetrator, and who will be next victim. You play as an idol--a female--of the student body who joins in the hunt for finding who did it. The rub lies in the fact that the ship will disembark in three weeks, and the culprit will have gotten away with it by then.
Game takes 3 weeks. On weekdays it's exploration and information gathering, on Saturday deduction work, and on Sunday date with main heroine -> repeat. The scenario is thin, so the main attraction is full yuri, atmosphere and characters.
7. Shinseiki Evangelion: Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン 綾波育成計画 [010518] Gainax 1 2 3
In Ayanami Ikusei Keikaku, the player takes on the role of a NERV officer who has just been assigned to Tokyo-3. Upon meeting with Commander Gendo Ikari, he is charged with taking care of the First Child, the mysterious Evangelion pilot Rei Ayanami. It is up to the player to decide Ayanami's weekly schedule, balancing between education, duties at NERV, and leisure. The game spans approximately one year, and includes the events of the entire anime series, as well as the movie The End of Evangelion.
Game is localized and has English reviews
8. Bounty Hunter Sara: Holly Mountain no Teiou バウンティハンターサラ ホーリーマウンテンの帝王 [010524] Capcom 1
In the year 2060, Neo Tokyo overflows with the criminal element and it's a thug life for many up 'n coming miscreants. The police force can't cope and resorts to doling out mercenary work to enterprising freelance contractors who have the resources to kneecap goons who are dignified only by the warrants on their heads.
As Sara Fitzgerald, you play the part of a bounty hunter who takes on high-risk assignments to earn the almighty dollar. The game focuses on your mission to take down the Lord of Holly Mountain, a feared gangster, by going through his ranks and making the right decisions when facing a dicey scenario.
Movie-ish game featuring lots of exotic vehicles and gunfire. Most of deaths come not from wrong decisions, but exactly from gunfire. Not much story value, as developers are more interested in HOW the justice is going to be done, not why etc.

10. 21-Two One- [010525] BasiL 1
Takuya Kirishima is a brilliant young surgeon who can save anyone with a disease. He spends his days working with his childhood friend Seri Sasaki, who is a nurse in the same hospital. One day, a murder is commited in the hospital and people starts suffering a strange disease not seen before. Takuya starts looking for the answer of these strange happenings so he can protect Seri.
7 heroines, plus one additional. Story focuses on the incident, but psychological description of heroines is missing, so they end up existing separately from the incident. In the end it's a perfectly fine charage, but plot feels not integral enough. Atmosphere is great, though. Additional scenario is actually more interesting than the main plot story.
11. Double DOUBLE～ダブル～ [010525] Cherry Soft
Near future. Winged descendants of angels and demons have appeared on the Earth. A series of crimes break out in the capital Chiba City. Main character is a student who attends Chiba Defense Academy ADAMAS. One day he meets an angelic girl at a crime scene...
Basically it's same setting as Kimon Youitan, and more or less same RPG system. Battles are same repeating and boring, but beautiful CG and same enough to keep going. Scenario is not intriguing enough for me to play this kind of story.
12. DT Lords of Genomes DTローズ・オブ・ゲノム [010525] GameStudio
You are a DT master. You can change the substance with the collected data and use it in fights. Governments, secret societies, religious organizations all aim to get that ability and attack it's owner. There are mysteries you need to understand - what's their purpose, why you became DT master, why each data was developed and what's the secret identity of DT. But first of all you need to survive.

13. Femme Fatale ファム ファタール [010525] Inspire
Taisho era. Main character is a detective in Tokyo. He returns to hometown to dispose of his father's legacy. Local policeman tells him about a case of girl death from illness at a boarding school, but under suspicious conditions. Detective decides to investigate the incident as he needs to stay at the town for some time anyway.
One road with some bad endings on the way (that include most of H scenes). The most irritating factor is when you get to sleep without perfect investigation during the day - then you are looped backwards till you do it perfectly... System is with lots of little irritations. The atmosphere is inspirational. There are some very interesting mature heroines like your ex wife and daughter you temporarily live with, as long as foreign teacher Freya that seems to be a direct reference to Days Innocent game. So game is more interesting as a part of Inspire flow of works rather than an individual work.
14. Night Walker [010525] Arieroof 1
Monsters, called "Breed", threaten the people of Japan. Tatsuhiko Shibafuji, the proprietor and sole employee of the Shibafuji Detective Agency, possesses great powers that can be used against the "Breed." However, this guy only accepts those cases that attract him. Due to his nighttime activities, people within his industry call him the "Night Walker."
Tatsuhiko receives a request from a private sponsor, Yayoi Matsunaga, who is an inspector on the police force. Our hero sets out to inspect a suspiciously related incident at Saint Michael All-Girls Institute. He comes in contact with one of the friends of the victim, Kazumi Asano. Our hero and Riho Yamazaki find a secret underground room beneath the chapel. Here, they find a pendant, which had belonged to Kazumi. The situation is much more serious that he had expected. This AVG is an orthodox command-selection game. A player searches for clues by traveling to different places, meeting different people, and obtaining various items. Throughout this detective story, a player will come upon many obstructions that will have to be cleared in order to solve the case.
Unfortunately the game is a poor remake of the original game. System remains same old-fashioned look/think/speak/investigate. Basically only graphics improved. Game is released to reap the light of anime adaptation... but isn't it better to watch anime version instead then.
15. Susukinohara no Yakusoku ススキノハラの約束 [010525] Kur-Mar-Ter
Main character attends high school and suffers from nightmares every night. The strange thing in the nightmares is that girls there are from the real life around protagonist. Then one day a girl appears before him asking forgiveness for sending him into these dreams, but also asking for his help...
Dream world and real life world are linked. At daytime hero chases girls in order to proceed the story of the dream world. Real world has more comical approach and dream world is rather serious. The connection between the worlds is thin. The theme of the work feels weak and routes fail to impress. No impact at all.
16. Tobi DVine とびでばいん [010525] Abogado Powers 1 2
Our heroine is an energetic girl named Sakura. For the past few days, she's been having problems being honest with herself and her feelings for her friend, Hide. The two of them are adventurers. Hide fought against the evil spirits at "Ruins 374," also known as The Aveil Ruins. At the request of Patty, deputy researcher at the ruins, Sakura and Hide return to Aveil. "This time, we want you two to check out "Ruins 267", nearly 50 miles from Ruins 374." When Sakura and Hide arrive in town, something happens. Pirates capture Mia, Manati, and Sumaki!
The two of them must go to Ruins 267 and save them!! D+Vine [LUV] has returned as a shooting game! The world and the game system itself follow its predecessor. In this shooting game, there are three different kinds of shots. We have also prepared a charge shot called "Rune Shot" and a bomb called "Rune Bomb." Attacks are extremely colorful. Once you save the fair maidens and return to town, heavenly bliss awaits you! With that in mind, destroy the pirates and return for the fun! Good luck!
There is an English review.
17. Univ ~Koi Hajimaru Yo~ univ ～恋・はじまるよっ～ [010525] Cocktail Soft
A story of college student and his life in the campus.
You have to study to make sure you pass the exam and graduate and find a part-time job to collect money to buy a gift for girls.
Pretty basic dating SIM with lots of efforts required and few events are presented in the form of reward. But the most important feature of the work is that it's possible to set required parameters and time will pass with activities selected automatically, so at least SIM part is simplified.
18. Vivre Kokoro kara no Egao Vivre 魂からの笑顔 [010525] Soup
A common male and female relationship. But she suddenly dies. Main character denies everything with grief and becomes despised. His lover continues to exist in this world as a ghost, and she wishes to see her former partner cheerful again. For that she is determined to get him a partner in school trip to Kyoto with the use of body possession.
Game takes 4 days and 3 nights, and one playthrough is as short as 1-2 hours. It's a zapping adventure, and as a ghost it's possible to possess various people. All this confusing synopsis is just a convenient way to bring upon lots of perverse situations with multiple people - don't really see any other meaning besides that in this camouflaged nukige.

There aren't masterpieces this month. I could not decide what to review myself. But in the end Akane Maniax has enough English reviews and Shitai o Arau is of quite familiar Silky's signature to me. I decided to play Fearless] . Akane Maniax is VN of the month even though I don't consider it a masterpiece either.
1. Akane Maniax ~Nagareboshi Densetsu Gouda~ アカネマニアックス～流れ星伝説剛田～ [020501] Age 1 2 3
Jouji Gouda is a new transfer student at Hakuryo High School. On his first day of class, he fell in love at first sight for Akane Suzumiya and boldly proposed to her on the spot. The two characters conflict with each other greatly, but Jouji never gives up and would do anything to express his love towards Akane.
Although his attempts to win Akane's love at first do nothing but anger Akane, he gradually starts to make an impression on her, inspiring Akane to be more honest about her own feelings.
There are English reviews.
2. Fearless] [020510] Active 1
Azumi Shizuhara is an orphaned student attending Rakuryo Gakuin.
One rainy night, he finds a girl in the rain, soaked to the skin. The girl has scratches all over her body and blankly stares out at nothing. Azumi tries to ignore her, but suddenly realizes from the girl's uniform that she attends his school. He simply tells the girl to call police with her cell phone and leaves... Later, this girl, Yuzu Sakurai, pleads with Azumi to help her search for her lost brother. Azumi turns her down once, but he finally agrees because Yuzu resembles his cousin, Nanao. The search for Yuzu's brother begins. With the help of Sayoko, their search seems to be going fine until Azumi begins to feel the presence of someone else... The story progresses with the mixed emotions of a girl with a lost brother and a boy who wants to protect his little sister.
The synopsis is quite normal, so I should elaborate on what's wrong with it instead of just blocking. The whole brother investigation is sneaking and triggering insult situations at times. But there are a lot of unusual events encountered, including comical ones. There's a lot of mystery, and scenario is actually a strong side here. Game gets fairly high scores from the Japanese, so I'm reviewing it myself.
3. Shin Ai 神愛 ～Shin ai～ [020510] Cyc 1
Every night, the hero has a strange dream.
"Help me ... Help me please ..." - says a mysterious girl on your dream. Her voice looks familiar. You think you know that voice, but can't remember. A friend gives to you an incomplete album. Somehow, the photos were removed. Looking every page in a hurry, you find three attached photos of strangers on the last page. There is a different landscape on each photo. The last one is one of a flowery desert garden, and one of a green meadow. When you picked up one gently, ... suddenly everything flashes. Stories are unfolded in two worlds. In real world, Toru falls in love with a girl, and in the other world, he protects the heroine. 'Pictures' are key items. You'll be able to enter the other world by using them. Try to collect pictures in the real world! You also have to be careful about the timing because if you miss getting a picture at the right time, you'll miss some events! In the real world, you'll up meet with four girls: 'Minori' and 'Aya,' your classmates, 'Sara,' your senior, and 'Yuri,' a younger student. In the other world, you will protect four girls: the maiden 'Minori,' 'Iris,' the fighter, 'Sara,' the religious girl, and 'Lily,' the nun. Why does Toru have to live in two different worlds? Who's the girl calling for help in his dream? Solve the mysteries by going through lots of adventures!
Game is about constant travel between real world where pictures are gathered and three different worlds where events are triggered. Setting is good, but walkthrough is quite painful. Cyc is known for introducing fresh game elements each time, so it appeal to those who like experiments.
4. Akagawa Jirou Mystery: Tsuki no Hikari ~Shizumeru Kane no Satsujin~ 赤川次郎ミステリー月の光 ～沈める鐘の殺人～ [020523] Victor Interactive Software 1
Based on the novel by Akagawa Jirou, the story puts you in a role of a high-school teacher who due to a painful breakup leaves his old workplace and comes to a far away place to start a new job at Bell Garden school. While taking a stroll, a woman's scream is heard... you run to see what is happening, and the mystery begins. You can select main character to be a man or a woman, which slightly influences the game scenario (when the player is a man, his partner will be a woman and vice-versa).
Game progress advances as a mystery novel. As the case becomes obvious you will investigate and use deductive skills to find out the culprit and the motive behind the crime. During the gameplay you can visit various places and check the map of the Bell Garden school and its surroundings. During investigation and story progress, you will use a character correlation diagram to connect a certain person with the matter at hand. Also, the diagram can be used to make relations between characters (for example to mark them as lovers). Story can have more endings, depending on the player's deduction and skills to solve the case. After a solved case, if available, a new scenario will open.
The third work in the series of book adaptations. Those who liked previous works would probably like this one.
5. Ethos ~Tenshi no Furu Basho~ Ethos～天使の降る場所～ [020524] Forte
Main character meets a mysterious girl in strange clothes during his part-time job. She turns out to be an angel who now sheds her light to the people. So their unusual cohabitation begins.
Game period is from 1 month to 2 months, and simultaneous capture is possible up to middle stages. Game is focused on the angel girl, so other routes feel redundant.
6. Hayashi Meisaku Gekijou ハヤシ迷作劇場 [020524] Hayashigumi
The protagonist is a young shepherd in a certain rural village.
One day, while he was feeding the lambs on his daily duties, he discovered a girl unconscious on the mountain trail and nursed her back to health. After a while, this girl, named "Lina", finally awoke. She had apparently become separated from her mother and was searching for her. The protagonist took pity on poor Lina, and let her stay at his home until she felt better... After several days, Lina decided to set out on her journey again. Feeling that he couldn't leave her alone, the protagonist decided to go with her. Will Lina be able to safely find her mother?
The feature of the game is that choices determine personality of Lina, and the essence of the game in the violent Lina. There are also other characters that usually show up and disappear as single episodes. Story development is good, but ending is abrupt. H scenes are quite frequent.
7. Hissatsu! Satomi Attack! 必殺！さとみアタック！ [020524] TinkerBell
In 20XX mysterious creatures "Noum" start to invade the Earth from space. These are virus-like micro-organisms that can turn into various forms depending on affected creature.
Main character attends a his health teacher Natsuki dojo to compete with his childhood friend Satomi. Natsuki is the only survivor of battle with Noum that happened 10 years ago. His extraordinary skills are passed to his students who must oppose new invasion.
Never expected to ever unblock a TinkerBell game, but here it is. Battles are difficult since favorite girls needs to be hit as little as possible and should possible stay close to protagonist to gain favorability. HP can only be recovered with help of one one character, so no ruthless actions are allowed. But there's very vague story - all girl choices are evident.
8. Itsuka, Dokoka de ~Ano Ameoto no Kioku~ いつか、どこかで ～あの雨音の記憶～ [020524] BeF 1
Spring of 2002.
Naoto Sodeyama is an Interviewee of a research company. At the time of joining, his first job is to make a research for a travel company. His destination is the very village from where he lived and fled from, the place where something bad happened to him when he was a kid. Now is the time to go face to face with his past at that small mountain village.
Bef is true to itself - character with phobia is featured, plus new elements introduced like this "Behavior selection" and "Call-out-mode" system which enables to call out characters at certain points in the game. So overall there are cases of different behavior prepared, but one playthrough becomes very short. But who would want to check out outcomes of different behavior?
9. Nursery Song [020524] Cronus
20 years ago, a boy (our hero) was sent to a hospital. While hospitalized, he met a nurse and became completely indebted to her in the short time that they were together. He then made a promise to himself to become a doctor so that he could one day work alongside her. Now our hero has just graduated, and now works at the very same hospital. However, the nurse from long ago is nowhere to be found. On the other hand, he now works alongside a trio of beautiful new nurses, as well as the surprisingly attractive senior staff. You can actively explore the hospital to pick which of the various women our hero will meet. Perhaps, within his coworkers, you'll find hints of the lost woman from his memories.
Borderline game with some 60% being pure love moege and 40% nukige. Most H scenes are delusion ones. Chiharu mystery is hidden in different heroines ED, but some have nothing to do with Chiharu.
10. Kuro to Kuro to Kuro no Saidan ~Kodoku~ 黒と黒と黒の祭壇～蟲毒～ [020524] C's Ware 1 2

There are English reviews.
11. Konohana 2 ~Todokanai Requiem~ 此花2 〜届かないレクイエム〜 [020530] Vridge Inc. 1 2
Meguru Momoi, a second-year student at Konohana high-school returns in another murder mystery adventure. He gained status of recognition after the infamous Grim Reaper murder mystery in the original game. Everything's back to normal, or so everybody thought, until one morning on their way to school, Meguru Momoi and his partner, Miako Tachibana, arrive only to see police cordoning the area of what appears to be a murder case. Thus they end up entangled in yet another series of murders case.
New bullet in the low cost series. However, cost has jumped from 2800 yen to 3800 yen while the quality remains roughly the same. Same mystery killings, same comedy in interaction. Relatively easy and short.
12. Natsuiro no Sunadokei 夏色の砂時計 [020530] Princess Soft 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
The story revolves around a Japanese sophomore named Kotaro Makimura. As the school year ends and summer vacation approaches, he decides to admit his feelings to his crush, the beautiful Kaho Serizawa.

With the help of Ligene the Time Patroller (also translated as Lee Jane), Kotaro must win Kaho's heart and prevent her tragic death before he runs out of time.
Game is localized and has lots of reviews.
13. Floralia Floralia ～フローラリア～ [020531] Xuse
Our protagonist Yosuke Tachibana is a kind second year in Aohisashi Academy who likes to take care of flowers.
However, his average life is turned upside down when his sister-like childhood friend Suzune Asou is appointed as a teacher in his school. What's more, she'll live in his house? Soon they'll be joined by director's daughter Maki Izumi and chemistry teacher Shino Sakurai. Will he succumb to his teachers' temptation...?
Three classmates and three teachers are available for seduction. Work famous for moe eroticism. Eroticism is achieved by borderline situations and horny voicing while there aren't too many orthodox H events. It all ends in a harem route, so it fits pretty much all the modern moege stamps.
14. Genome ~Shinka no Idenshi o Sagase~ GeNOME～進化の遺伝子を探せ～ [020531] Ast
Main character is the third year student of agriculture faculty. General education process ends, and it is finally time to enter the laboratory. Under guidance of the laboratory adviser he will need to repeat genetic research with partners from the same laboratory to create new life.
There are 7 routes, but each contains only three events. It's enough to combine 8 pairs to trigger credits. With such length it's hardly a game, more of CG collection.
15. Shitai o Arau 肢体を洗う [020531] Silky's 1 2 3
～The smell of formalin that tempts you into the world of ero～
Yasaka was a poor student who wanted to become a doctor but couldn't afford medical college. He was studying for the entrance exam next year while working part-time in a university hospital. However, he was suddenly fired from his part-time job by the vice-director, Tsuyuzaki Chigusa. He was shocked by this sudden event, so she gives him the only option he has left to continue working in the hospital. The work she prepared for him is called… “Corpse Washing”. He will learn based on real experience and mental shock at work. In normal life, it's not possible to understand what “Corpse Washing” is. It is only possible by “being thrown out of daily life, into an unusual life, and having his mental state change”. That is “Corpse Washing”.
New experimental work of Silky's is based on real experience by author ... corpse washing. But the content is of horror and madness. The second half gets to do much more with the drugs and pretty much nothing with corpse washing. Dark and unusual work.
16. Trouble Busters トラブル バスターズ [020531] spiel 1
Shuichi is a new history teacher at Mitarai. The story begins as he is suddenly put in charge of the school's mystery club. The club used to be called the occult research club but was forced to downsize because of numerous scandals.

The vice principal also threatens Shuichi that if something bad happens, he must take full responsibility! Shuichi feels extremely uneasy about his career. One day, a student shows up and tells that she has a request to the club... This is a slapstick comedy of problematic students and a new teacher, who struggles to gets his normal life back. This game is an orthodox adventure game, however, the first and latter parts have completely different stories. In the first half, the player tries to get close to girls. Later on, you choose one of the girl characters and explore a story, which is tailored to each specific character.
School love comedy. The main part is really funny. The girl stories are too monotonous to try other ones. H events show up suddenly which ruins atmosphere. Game is pretty much impossible to find now.
17. Univ ~Ai Omatase~ univ ～愛・おまたせっ～ [020531] Cocktail Soft
Student life enters its climax period - third and fourth years of university. This is your chance to find true love!
As usual, Cocktail Soft games don't bother with a synopsis presenting the very generic story that anyone can sympathize to. First work included 1st and 2nd years, this work - 3rd and 4th years. System is is typical dating SIM - stalk girls, talk to them, bring them presents etc. As usual with Cocktail Soft - game for those who likes the process, girls or CG.
18. Honoka ni Mieru Zetsubou no Memento ~Remember that I love you.~ 仄かに視える絶望のmemento～Remember that I love you.～ [020531] FlyingShine
Reality disappears, but past remains.
Main heroines are two girls who have special memory disorder due to some accident. Every few hours there is such time for them that they can't remember afterwards. Memory works in that way that they can't remember anything during that time. In other words, whatever they do during that time, they forget. Knowing this, they work together to compensate for each other's lack of memory. In the early stages the story is full of gaps, and the whole picture is not perceived. Protagonists continue to suffer from insidious bullying without understanding how they got to this or that situation. However, as game progresses, different viewpoints are given, and "memories" start to gather together. The whole picture becomes clear. What kind of ending will the hidden "memories" bring?
It's a curious and complex game at start, but mystery is quite heavy and in the way of insult. Still, it can't be called a nukige at all.
19. Tears 9, 10 [0205] Team D.T.R. 1 2
Tears - "Nine, ten" is a visual novel that tells the story of a girl with nine fingers and a boy with ten fingers. A story about our lives, human rights, laws, relationships, and dreams in the face of economic imbalances. Their short but intense encounters and stories will impress you a lot.

Doujin
True Remembrance , Ashita Deatta Shoujo and Uchi no Imouto no Baai (Heart) can be called masterpieces. I'm inclined to name Ashita Deatta Shoujo the winner. My review of it follows next.
1. Konohana 3 ~Itsuwari no Kage no Mukou ni~ 此花3 ～偽りの影の向こうに～ [030501] Vridge Inc. 1
The story picks up lightly with Meguru and Miako bickering about. After some computer chatting, Miako arranged to go with Meguru and Shinobu to a Water Island amusement park. There, they would also meet up with some other friends and acquaintances. Time went by as they were checking all kinds of interesting places at the amusement park, until they entered the house of horror attraction. One of the people among them was found killed in a haunted house and everyone's a suspect. It is up to Meguru and Miako to once again put their minds to the task of solving the murder mystery and finding the culprit.
The third bullet in cheap price youth detective series. There are many endings, so cost/performance ratio is high, but overall it's not particularly fascinating.
2. ALMA ~Zutto Soba ni...~ ALMA ～ずっとそばに…～ [030502] Bonbee!
After Takumi and his sister Yui lost both of their parents in an accident 3 years ago, life is steadily going on for them and a close circle of friends.
One day, a new student transfers to their school. This is the starting point for a subtle but actual change in their frozen time. Who am I?, What has happened in the past? The beginning of summer holds the key to unveil these questions...
Game resembles AIR perhaps too much. First half is mediocre everyday life flow while second half is sudden and intensive development. Game appeals to emotions rather than actual thinking. I really can't stand such nakige.
3. Anemone アネもネ [030502] BOM
Main character witnesses a catastrophe on the way home - an alien dies on his hands telling of evil alien conspiracy. Protagonist receives radar to track aliens locations, and it points to his own house where his six sisters live. One of his elder sisters is an evil alien... he needs to find the culprit and have his justice. A foolish bakage with absolutely useless scenario and tilt on ero. Basically, just an older sister game.
4. Stage [030502] Foster
Drama club works hard to complete a play for the "STAGE" school festival. Through everyday activities main character grows bonds with the participant girls.
This is the longest Foster work so far. The amount of text is indeed so big that it's really easy to get tired. At the same time non-HCG are rare which makes it even worse. There is just ONE H-scene for each of four heroines, and that's unprecedented for Foster. The result is mediocre from all sides.
5. Wataridori ni Yadorigi o 渡り鳥に宿り木を [030502] Studio B-Room
19th century European island country. Main character comes from a small and aims for a bit city. He meets two girls in the train and gets in good terms with them. After arriving to the city protagonist gets an offer to become a tutor of one of the girls.
Game is sometimes called Hinadori no Saezuri #3, and the spirit of the work is really close. SIM part is terrible, and game is morally old.
6. Ame Nochi Hare Nochi Comic Island 雨のち晴れのちこみっくアイランド [030509] Girl's Software
Main character comes to a town and gets a job at manga cafe. His days are colored with fun and friends warmth.
Crappy game, but amount of eroticism is not much more than in ordinary pure love game, so it would be unfair to block it just because of the cover.
7. Yajuu Sentai Schwarkan 野獸戰隊シバルカン [030509] Shao Shao Kappa
In 2004 aliens are rescued on space station "Kibo". They tell about crisis that approaches the Earth and die. Japan government together with UN create International Extraordinary Rescue Team to fight aliens invasion with the help of huge humanoid robots. In 2009 runaways from inter-galactic prison showed up at the Earth to establish criminal foothold here.
Not really a visual novel, so no point discussing.
8. True Remembrance [030511] Shiba Satomi 1 2 3 4 5 6
True Remembrance is an ordinary tale of the ordinary days spent in an ordinary town by an ordinary girl who learns that everything in this world is extraordinary - or that nothing is. For in this world, there is a young man named Blackiris; a Mnemonicide par excellence. And there is a young girl named La; sweet and warm and gentle in all the ways that count. This is their story.
Game is localized and has many English reviews.
9. Chobits ~Chii Dake no Hito~ ちょびっツ ～ちぃだけのヒト～ [030515] Broccoli 1
Story centers on a 17 year old guy by the name of Hideki Motosuwa, he resides in an alternate universe of sorts thats filled with things known as Persocom's, a Persocom simply put is a Personal Computer. Unfortunately though, Hideki could never afford a Persocom of his own, and the story begins with him finding an unattended, tied up persocom in a pile of trash, he takes the Persocom home and later discovers as the story progresses that there is a possiblilty that his Persocom is something known as a Chobit. The Story then develops entertainingly around the idea of Chi (Thats what Hideki named her) being a Chobit.
There is an English review.
10. Mind Reaper [030516] Ivory
The world with sudden mass riots are a usual thing. Mind Reapers are people who are presumed to be the cause of sudden mass riots.
Main character is a student who gets attacked by a group of trained men one day. His classmate girl comes out to help protagonist with words "it's not a fight for ordinary fumans" and defeats opponents one by one. What's the reason for attack? What is the true nature of the girl? The girl promises to protect protagonist, but it's only the first in the chain of events.
World must have gone mad. First Foster and now Ivory start to make games that aren't nukige. Protagonist revals super-hero powers inside himself and fights mysterious organization together with his fellow mates. Atmosphere is actually close to Nitro+ games. Battles are done in SRPG manner with around 20 battles for each playthrough. H scenes are mostly insult ones, but it's Ivory, so it should be no news.
11. Shinseiki Evangelion Koutetsu no Girlfriend 2nd 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン鋼鉄のガールフレンド 2nd [030516] Gainax 1 2 3 4
Do you remember the last episode in the Evangelion TV series? Where the anime staff presented you with a new world? An environment more like that of a romantic comedy where Shinji plays the clueless hero, Misato as his sisterly caretaker, Asuka as his childhood friend, Rei as the new girl in school and Kaworu as the resident bishounen?
Now you can live this lighter Evangelion adventure through your PSP in Koutetsu no Girlfriend 2. Find out how different Shinji's life could be in this brighter world.
Game is localized and has English reviews.
12. Yakiniku Kuripuupi やきにくくりぷうぴ [030516] Tablet
Numerous crises hit well-established yakiniku restaurant "Kuripuupi"! Most of waitresses and one male employee leave the establishment. Can you get your customers back with just four waitress girls in uniforms?
Graphics is so bad here that it made consumers furious. One play can be over in just 5 minutes. Rare kusoge.
13. Love Hina Gorgeous ~Chiratto Happening!!~ ラブひな ごーじゃす ～チラっとハプニング!!～ [030522] Konami 1 2 3
Love Hina Gorgeous is an adventure which puts you in the shoes of the only male protagonist in the series, Keitaro Urashima, who is trying to get into college while at the same time performing his duties as the dorm manager. He need to improve his grade if he's ever going to get a chance to get into a college of his choice, a University of Tokyo. Taking care of a girls only dormitory won't help him achieve his goal, quite the contrary, it may lead him into many troubled situations and misadventures. Adventure mode plays in a sort-of visual novel fashion with limited time for certain choices while exploration mode lets you explore the locations in third person using the cursor to interact with items and characters around you. There are also various action event sequences which comprise of various mini-games as well as studying portion of the game which requires you to answer questions correctly and level up your character skills.
There is enough English information for an impression.
14. Kurenai Senki ~Kunoichi Shinobi Ai~ 紅戦記 ～くノ一忍び愛～ [030523] Serene
Main character is a genius programmer who gets to know from his dying grandfather that their lineage is protected by Shinobu ninja. Moreover, his sweetheart and childhood friend Mizuho turns out to be his bodyguard. Protagonist is anxious to invite the beauty president of the rival company for a dinner, but Mizuho fiercely blocks the attempt. What secrets still remain hidden?
Serene has semi-nukige games, but with just enough curiosity to leave them unblocked. Nuki part here outweighs whatever other content it has. Drawing is horrible and all the heroines are same looking melon-boobs and skirts so short that pants are seen even while standing still. System is pretty bad as well. Story is very short for each heroine. I wanted to review this game, but it turned out to be a kusoge.
15. Miko Miko Nurse 巫女みこナース [030523] Psycho 1
The story takes place in the Paradise Hospital, the forefront of elderly treatment. As a result of the founder's retirement, the two heirs cannot agree on which uniform the nurses should wear — one having a miko style, the other having a nun style. Amidst the fierce debate is Tatsuya Makishima, a doctor-in-training....
There is an English review.
16. Piyo Piyo ~Love Love Hobo-san~ ぴよピヨ～らぶらぶ保母さん～ [030523] Easy Mode
Main character is busy helping out with his father's pet shop. One day shop is visited by school director who intends to lend pets for children emotional education. Protagonist starts to bring pets to students with emotional problems. Can he find love among them?
Easy Mode works are all ero-centered, and this time it's not an exception. But H level here is rather moderate, so I'd keep it not blocked. Just another crappy pure love game.
17. Aoi Namida 青い涙 [030530] Artlim Media 1
The story takes place in a several different worlds, each set in a single volume of a story. Initially, the game starts in the Fantasy Volume of the story. It then shifts to Reminiscence Volume, and finally ends with the Modern Volume. The main heroines are introduced individually throughout the story during the Fantasy Volume where player can chose to pursue a romantic affection with one of the heroines. Based on player's interest in a specific heroine, the Reminiscence Volume will reflect a different story of the past, ultimately concluding the story in the Modern Volume showing the present-day of the story. New characters appear in different volumes of the story.
Scenario is by Korean author, so Confucian values are strong in here - especially family value. Japanese language feels artificial or mechanically translated here at times. Different editions change frequently, so it can be difficult to keep in touch with what's going on. Evaluation differs greatly with different people.
18. Ashita Deatta Shoujo あした出逢った少女 [030530] Moonstone 1 2
"It's summer. The place is a crater lake near the naturally ambient, rural village "Takachiho". The protagonist is standing still, blankly looking at the far-away sky.
Amnesia... His memories of the past have been lost. It's a strange thought, but to him on that day, the sky seems tailored to both dusk and sunrise, a mysterious color..." The protagonist, Tachibana Takashi was a freeloader in a house, living there with four beautiful sisters. Until suddenly, one day, a sad incident occurred...

19. Eclipse -Zettai Reido Keikaku Soushitsu Shoujo- ECLIPSE－絶対隷奴計画・喪失少女－ [030530] Clock Up 1
Somewhere on the Darkside of the Moon, Second Lieutenant Fernandez and his all-female pilot squad are fighting for their lives against overwhelming forces. The XEN-TRIX mobile suit is technologically superior, but even cutting edge technology doesn't count for too much if you are outnumbered twenty to one.
Inevitably, a well placed shot inflicts critical damage, and Fernandez falls into a dark oblivion of wild memories...
There is an English review.
20. Kimi ni Okuru Tsubasa きみにおくる翼 [030530] Milky Kiss
There was a boy in a rural town. The boy had a very sick sister-in-law who spent most of the day in bed. Girl desired to fly more than anything else in life. Boy though what he could do to make her happy and started inventing wings for her. But as time passed he was running out of time. It's either now or never.
Donkan protagonist, inarticulate depictions and poor font make poor impression of the game. Text feels childish. There is lack of events. Scenario poses the most questions.
21. Mugen no Meikyuu 3 Type S 夢幻の迷宮３ Type Ｓ [030530] Software House Parsley 1
Two years have passed since the mysterious Phantom Labyrinth emerged in the desert. One day, a young adventurer seeking for excitement and riches met a mysterious traveler. He did not remember his own name and, before disappearing, told the astonished youth to go and seek out the Desert City. There the adventurer encountered the unique civilization of Ge-Pang and ventured into the depths of its dungeons.
Third bullet in RPG series that can be of interest only to those who like JRPG.
22. Natsu Shoujo 夏少女 [030530] Pulltop
Masato visited his friend's hometown during last year's summer holiday and met three girls, Aki, Miyako and Ayami. He enjoyed his time there, and promised with them he would come back again when he left. One year later, he returns there, and meets them again, who have grown up a little bit...
There are only three heroine routes. Finishing one route is fresh and impressive, but the other routes are too alike and thus boring. Each route deals with the problem heroine has, and each story feels short. Atmosphere and text are good.
23. Seijaku wa Yami no Shirabe 静寂は闇の調べ [030530] Remain
Few years after the World War II, the protagonist receives a letter naming him as heir to the inheritance by his sick biological father - the fact that he has no memory of, yet which his current parents reluctantly admits as true.
He returns to his hometown with intention of rejecting the offer, and meets a relative who still remembers him from her childhood. As the stay unintentionally grows longer, sequence of strange events begins to take place against him...
Orthodox suspense drama, and depiction of horror post-war world with immoral women treatment is far from reality. Only few heroines have some relation to the story, others are just redundant for the story purpose. The last story brings all the revelation, but playing other routes feels just useless.
24. Shinobitic☆Heart 忍ちっく☆はぁと [030530] Kiss next team BOTTOMLESS
Main character's parents move, and his new school turns out to be a school for ninja. At the same time protagonist becomes targeted by mysterious ninja. What's their aim?
Bakage. Main character is useless for fighting, so he desperately to counter attacks with words. Scenario is lame, so game only for those who like ninja bakage and can stand lolicon scenes.
25. Uchi no Imouto no Baai (Heart) うちの妹のばあい（はあと） [030530] 1
