It doesn't make a big difference if you're just considering the 'translated' Liar-Soft visual novels. And Sakurai is arguably their main writer. I didn't even know that he writes for other studios too.

Okay, that makes already 2 non-Sakurai Liar-Soft titles. Still 4 from Sakurai at least, and those are the bigger ones I think.

funny how their main writer just left lol.

Interesting, happened sometime in 2013 apparently. I wonder why he left? But considering that he worked over 10 years for them, maybe he just wanted a change of scenery.

Nobody knows, really. Someone made a random tweet that she's a guy and now everyone believes it. Personally, I don't really care, but her text feels so feminine to me I can't help using female pronouns regardless of Sakurai's gender; she could be a sexless automaton for all I know. xD

Sakurai severed her ties with Liar-Soft a few years ago afaik. She's the one who wrote Fate/Go in collaboration with Higashide. In any case, I'm not her biggest fan either, so I'm really glad Liar-Soft can now go back to their roots of surreal/disturbing games. Fairytale Requiem was amazing (the guy who did Forest was involved).

ah, thanks for clarifying I thought the tweet was official

I am still reading it, I am at the final chapters now. I absolutely love it. I love the writing style especially. I loved Inganock and Sharnoth, and I really wish I was able to read Valusia and Sona-Nyl as well. The WAB series has to be my favourite Visual Novel series from what I have read so far.
