I still wonder what happened to Kinugasa, akagoei was rushed, I can understand the endings a tiny bit but reminiscence shouldn't have had those problems.

Starting a thread with a soundless eroge op sounds cool.

Finished ドコのドナタの感情経路, The routes are short with nothing to write home about and the only reason to play the game if you like the artwork or one of the characters. Only 3 scenes per character, the amount of CGs is on the low side and the interface is also rather basic. Sayaka's route easily tops the rest.

Sayaka > Miharu = Misato > Tsubasa > Kokona, in terms of character and route quality.

On a side note, not being able to remove the arrows and return from the CG in the gallery is rather annoying

In Verita's Light ending, what exactly was Louis' plan in the long run? Was he going to wait for Lifia to give birth to a child carrying Irina's soul and then hook up with it? Could that bloodline possibly get any more incestuous?

>>12025035
>Could that bloodline possibly get any more incestuous?
It's demon-blood, they already have their own brand of hereditary diseases so they don't really need to bother that much about incest.

She has a considerable amount of human blood too though. From my calculations, her father is 75% human and her mother is 25% human. I guess it depends on who the father would be.
That said, one shouldnt forget the moral dubiety of grooming your own great-granddaughter. Could her soul also be put into a boy thereotically? Would Louis turn into a homo then?

Celica is male, doesn't mean you'd be a homo for fucking him.

Most of the games I was interested in have been delayed now, probably to avoid competing with Rance and IM. At least Pretty x Cation hasn't been delayed yet.

>>12025054
Sentences like this make me wonder how many new terms psychology would have to establish in order to cover everything that comes up in fiction.

Psychophile?

>>12025058
He's cute enough for me to almost want to actually play those games.

Have you ever picked up a game solely because a VN you liked had a role in it?

>>12025064
Fuck, I mean VA.

>>12025058
Keep telling yourself that, Abirus.

>>12025064
I've done that with a few games, and with a few exceptions, I pretty much always end up disappointed.

>>12025034
I speed read through Misato's route, and I have to say I was most interested in the bro and his childhood friend.

>>12025064

How could you call yourself a fan of that VA if you don't do that?

>>12025083
Takuma and Yuuri are interesting during their little arc. Takuma still has at least 1 meaningful conversation with the MC every route in regards to the girl the MC choose but otherwise they get delegated to side character joke material in every route except for Tsubasa's for obvious reasons sadly.

>>12025064
Only with nukige, because they're the only games where I feel voice work has a significant enough impact on the overall enjoyability.

>>12025136
Seriously?

>>12025136
Do you really think that? Look at how much a voiced MC changes things, and that's only one character.

>>12025183
>voiced MC

Am I the only one who always silences voiced MCs?

>>12025185

You sound awful.

>>12025185
I turn the sound off completely and overlay a window on the top part of the game so that I can only see the text the way the author and GOD intended.

>>12025185
I also silence them.

>>12025191
>>12025193

Meanies.

>>12025193

>>12025185
I always do the same too.

>>12025193
I mute the sound, hook it with ITH, minimize the window entirely, and read the text off the small black and white box the way a real man would.

>>12025050
Majin blood doesn't work like that. As explained in GnK, anyone with majin blood can expand its influence and change himself into more pure majin arbitrarily using some of Bread's equipment. Basically its the way they "heal" majin illness which attacks half-humans — they convert themself into purer majins and thin out human blood.

>>12025220
From what I remember its impossible to reverse the "majinisation" though. I dont see why she would do it anyway.

No, real men hack the script files and print them out to read them on the beach during summer.

Start with this: http://rogunix.com/docs/Reversing&Exploiting/The.IDA.Pro.Book.2nd.Edition.Jun.2011.pdf

>>12025185
Never. Voiced MCs are great. Also I never associate myself with the protagonist anyway, probably because with any protagonist, no matter if he is complete hetare, a bro or a playboy, every 10 minutes I go "What the fuck are you doing? I'd have acted completely differently in this situation". The cognitive dissonance is too great.

>>12025185
I like voiced protags in scenario-ge because I like it when the protag is treated more as a character and fleshed out and a voice helps with that.
>>12025245
Yeah I don't think I've ever read a protag I could relate to. I mean there's been plenty where I thought "oh he's a nice guy, I like him" but that's different than him acting like me.

It's hard to describe but for me a "self-insert protag" is less about acting how I'd act and more about being invisible as possible. Like not having any unique quirks or personality traits, having a small amount of actual lines, basically being a doll that is "acted upon" instead of "acting". That allows you to kind of pretend that you're in his place and imagine what you'd say/do in that situation. Well, needless to say I only like those for mindless moe moe kyun type VNs. And even though I say all this I'm actually the type that complains about male characters not having enough depth and that kind of shit.

>>12025215
I just extract the scripts and read it the way it's meant to be read.

>>12025148
Yes. With nukige moaning and chupa are pretty important, whereas with other eroge unless the voices are really bad or really good (like the top or bottom 5%) I really don't notice.

>>12025183
I don't like voiced protagonists, or more accurately I find them pointless. Subahibi is the only time I thought it was a good idea to voice a protagonist (Takuji).

>>12025064
Yeah. Actually the whole reason I got into galge is because I wanted to hear more of Saeko Chiba's voice roles after playing Tales of Hearts. All of the galge I initially bought (Kita e., Memories Off 2nd, Tentama) were games that she had a part in. She typically played more solemn, serious characters back then though, as opposed to the cutesy, cracky voices of Beryl and Dokuro-chan.

>>12025185
I generally dislike voiced MC but I don't go out of my way to disable there voices.

Guys I'm trying to play http://vndb.org/r27716

Error with floating point instruction?

>>12025829
Running windows 7 with Japanese locale. No idea what's up. Actually bought the game, sucks I can't even run it.

>>12025841

Sometimes you need a little more than jp locale, such as changing both time format and time location to Japan/Tokyo, respectively. for me 戦場のフォークロア for example would have garbled incomplete text without time format set to JP. One time I also had a nukige that refuses to install correctly unless I had both time region and time zone to Japan/Tokyo, which then would play without either restriction.

>>12025973

>>12025800
>>12025973
For me the best way to ensure everything works, and doesn't affect non-Japanese stuff on my computer, is to install Japanese Windows in a virtual machine. In that case only running 3D games may sometimes fail (usually it's still OK though).

>>12025994
>not dual booting

Jokes aside, nowadays, more and more VNs seem to be using D3D features that a VM can't provide.

Moden VNs with gamplay, like Baldr Sky Zero, just won't work at all.

>>12025973
>>12025993
I have it set like that from another game which required those settings. So no dice.

Why would you play VNs with gameplay? Are you from /v/ or something?

>>12026100
Why would you not, just because they have some gameplay?

Does anyone use Chiitrans Lite instead of ITH + Rikaisama to read eroge?
I just started playing some games using Chiitrans Lite and I like it much better than the alternatives I've used.
Please respond with a helpful opinion, or just bully me and give me a reason to use something else.

Suddenly April has no game left to look forward to.
Well at least there're prettycation and the one from mink. But those 3 delays are really lame, not that I should have expected otherwise.

Does BSZ2 need some kind of online activation?

>>12026139
It's REALLY depressing, I wanted to play houkago for something devoid of gameplay, but not even that. So la dea and prettyxcation for me, probably in that order.

>>12026140
Why would anyone use machine translator?

>>12026148
I implied that I'm reading them in Japanese, just using it for dictionary definitions, you know?

>>12026140
I like ith+jparser, it's efficient.

>>12026140
Personally, I use ITH with JParser + Mecab in Translation Aggregator, but that's probably because I'm so used to it.

>>12026151
Well I googled and got results "automatic translation tool"

I just use denshi jisho and rikaichan, or physical dictionary sometimes. Using anything else would like cheating.

>>12026178
Oh and kotobank sometimes.

>>12026178
>cheating
Sorry to let you down, but this is not competition and there are no "rules". VNs are just entertainment media, they are supposed to be enjoyed.

>>12026178
Cheating in what, exactly?
And
>physical dictionary
Holy shit.

>>12026140
I like my setup. ITH, dual monitor, echo on one monitor for rikaisama, VN on the other. No part of the art gets obstructed. I also used "color that site" to change the white to black so I can play in the dark without eye-strain.

http://isoron.org/stuff/japanese/echo.html

Never tried chiitrans.

>>12026178
Yes, stuff like text hookers and Translator Aggregator are used as guesslators by some people who are too lazy to learn Japanese at all, but you can also disregard the machine translator parts altogether and just use the programs with JParser, Rikaichan etc. as fast look-up for kanji readings and meanings.

I don't really need them anymore, but I like hooking it up just in case some rarer word that I don't know does come up. Much faster than writing the word myself and pasting it to an electric dictionary or looking it up from a physical book. Of course the the fast to use dictionaries can also serve as crutches depending on how willing someone is to actually memorize the new words.

Also I've lost count to how many times we've been derailed with this discussion.

>>12026234
>Also I've lost count to how many times we've been derailed with this discussion.
Because people like to demonstrate their "superiority" by going "HURR MACHINE TRANSLATING!" and ignore the fact that these tools can actually be useful.

I stopped using any tools when I realized actually looking up the words by myself made memorizing them easier.
Tools are just like training wheels, make things easier for sure but in the end you have to take them off one day or another or you won't get better

>>12026267
>but in the end you have to take them off one day or another
Depends on your requirements, though.

This has probably been asked before, but which translation should I read? Granted the right side is only part 1, but its has voices.

Is there a clear distinction in translation accuracy between the two that would make me choose one over the other?

>>12026267
>or you won't get better
Nah, work perfectly, nowadays I only use them for the odd really weird kanji or for an extremely technical compound, shame they don't work for slang.

>>12026273
In my opinion you should stick with the Mangagamer version and stick with the original sprites and backgrounds as well.
It makes shit creepier.

Mangagamer version also has better music all-around.

Don't you guys think challenge of reading literature is part of the fun? By cheating, I meant to break the original challenge of the original work. I enjoy reading the text as the writer wrote, I don't want any machine to give me assistance. If I meet a word I don't know, I'll write the word and look what it means like in any other in case.

>>12026317
Go read a real book please.

>>12026317
>Don't you guys think challenge of reading literature is part of the fun?
These aren't some high class literary works that are a "challenge" to read. It's only challenging to some of us because we aren't native Japanese speakers. To them, there's no "challenge". By your logic, these should not be fun at all to them.
>I meant to break the original challenge of the original work.
The original work was meant to be read by native Japanese, and most of these aren't much of a challenge for them at all.

>>12026326
You know Japanese people aren't normally literati more than anyone else? Most people don't read books, and there are a handful of VNs written no differently from books anyway.

>>12026352
>Most people don't read books
Japan is not America.

>>12026355

It's pretty much the same everywhere.

>>12026359
No. A lot of people read books, especially in Asian countries.

>>12026352
They are literate in Japanese than foreigners. These are challenging only to foreigners, like reading English is challenging to them.

>>12026359
There are these things called light novels, I heard they're pretty big in Japan right now.

The difference in the percentage of boys and girls who read for enjoyment is
smaller in Japan than it is in most OECD countries. Across OECD countries, 73% of girls read for
enjoyment, while 52% of boys do. In Japan, 58% of girls read for enjoyment, while 54% of boys read for
enjoyment – a much narrower gender gap than the OECD average. Korea is the only OECD country where
similar proportions of boys and girls ready for enjoyment

http://www.oecd.org/japan/46623994.pdf

>>12026371
Yeah right I'm totally going to trust these bs statistics because they've obviously surveyed every boy and girl ever.

>>12026374

You are dismissing every statistic ever.

>>12026376
Well, I am.

>>12026379

I bet you still believe in statistics who prove your point.

>>12026383
I haven't made any point yet except that statistics are bullshit.
Let's not go further because this thread is not about statistics.

>>12026326
You know there are different kind of levels written works. For kid you has just learned to read, simple children book could be challenging to understand. Non-native language just brings to bit more spice. There are definitely VNs which are not written like children book. Perhaps you haven't read much or you have read very much that nothing feels like a challenge, but reading advanced text is definitely challenging and meant to be as some sort of challenge, even in for native speakers. And by reading, I mean actually reading and assimilate the content. But note; I never said challenge is the only reason people enjoy reading. Some people of course enjoy content written in simple way, but I would expect people in this thread enjoy more advanced written works.

>By your logic, these should not be fun at all to them.
Seems you aren't very good at logic...

>>12026404
VN language is bottom of the barrel tier. The only things worse than VN are LN and those mobile phone novels.

>>12026404
Point is, we're talking about the "challenge" of porn slideshows here.
When you said
>>12026317
>Don't you guys think challenge of reading literature is part of the fun?
I assumed that's what you're talking about, since that's what this thread is about, and not other works of literature. And most of these (not all, obviously) are average or below average as far as being a literary challenge goes. As a result, to native Japanese who read these, there's no challenge. So they're obviously meant to be enjoyed without that.

>>12026415
Say that too all these native readers who had trouble reading Senshinkan last month

>>12026432
Games like Senshinkan are the exception, not the norm. Hell, even the likes of Asairo and Itsusora are not the norm, and they're a lot friendlier than Senshinkan.

>>12026432
Because the author decided to write Chinese rather than Japanese at some point? Such advanced literature value!

>>12026440
There are more of these "exceptions" than you would think of though.
Most contemporary novels I read are really easy to read anyways, there is no real difference in term of difficulty compared to your average eroge.

As mentioned at the end of the last thread, the 初恋 1/1 Drama CD from C85.

https://mega.co.nz/#!V4ohUR7b!YxpeTtM-Cv0BofNkvyKKXY1nInsUdGmqlZTe5I8MRms

>>12026445
There is no chinese in Senshinkan though?
Stop being such a fucking retard and learn japanese before arguing with adults.

>>12026415
>>12026417
There's still some notable exceptions with differences in writing styles and reading difficulty and there's plenty of VNs I would have probably enjoyed a lot less if I hadn't been able to understand their little intricacies, no matter how low-level they're compared to proper Japanese literature.

But anyways lets discuss actual writers and companies, post cute girls and so on instead of having this kind of fruitless meta discussion. Obviously every person ITT can't read on the same level but that doesn't really bother me if they're at least making an effort in becoming better.

>>12026369
Not just light novels, novels in general are much more popular in Japan. The reason I started learning Japanese was for their novels; their literary culture hasn't been stifled yet due to lack of interest and is still brimming with originality if you look in the right places.

>>12026417
>>12026415
That's definitely not true. Even Japanese person who plays eroge has much wider vocabulary than average people who isn't specially fond to books. And that's even what Moogy has said on his ask.fm. Really nowadays writers want to write in artistic way and try to stand out from mass of games which leads to this. Also I am expecting people on this thread aren't really fond to "porn slideshows" because we have had specific Nukige threads on /jp/. I could be wrong tho.

For personal experience, I sometimes use words I have learned from eroge when talking with Japanese and they have sometimes asked "Where you have learned such difficult words??". Latest I remember was when I used 養生.

Has anyone played Clover Day's? How long is the full game compared to the demo?

>>12026558
Well, did you tell them you learnt them from Chinese pornographic power point presentations?

>>12026558
>that's even what Moogy has said

Will this horror ever stop?

>>12026558
Supposedly Japanese would even be surprised at foreigners knowing common words like 語彙, so I'm not sure if that's exactly a good way to tell.

>>12026680
Average.

>>12026757
I hate how moogy writes as if everything he reads in eroge was the most important and complex shit in the world

Take this for example

>ruitomo is full of just plain weird shit, comyu is literally never ending diatribes on the nature of society and human interaction in groups, and hello lady is crammed to the brim with endless symbolism, analogies, metaphors, and similes (not that his other games aren't, but it's really apparent in hello lady)

>>12026558
>I sometimes use words I have learned from eroge when talking with Japanese and they have sometimes asked "Where you have learned such difficult words??"
I bet they complement you with 日本語お上手 all the time and call you すごい right?

>>12026871

He's just tries to justify his silly hobby by playing a game of make believe.

Anyway, I can't understand /jp/'s obsession with him. Who died and made him the Eroge King?

Why Sora playing Saku is way better than that shit kanasuke? Because of the novel? She was okay in Berry too, but the art made me think I was fucking Asahi and that was weird.

>>12026892
Can you please explain what you're referring to?
I get it more or less, but still?

>>12026900
Sora, the VA, she plays Saku (朔) in HL and Kanasuke in Daitoshokan, also the main girl from the novel Berry's, which I forgot the name, but this novel has two or three different artist and the one who draws her character made her carbon copy to Asahi (trap in paris - navel).

>>12026907
I liked her as Kanasuke.

Sometimes I can't tell if it's just the #tlwiki crew invading, or if you guys are really that ingenuous.

I understand discussion can get stagnating sometimes because some people here take a while to finish eroge, but you guys once in a while pick really terrible themes to discuss about.

>>12026885
Yeah, I don't really get /jp/'s relationship with moogy. My best guess is that it's a "love to hate him" kind of thing.

>>12027036
I like him.

>>12027036
He's basically attained meme status by now.

I'm not sure how to feel about him myself. He comes across as a dick and a massive manchild, but at the same time he's pretty much responsible for me deciding to learn Japanese.

Finished Hikoukigumo no Mukougawa. Reminded me why I love long epilogues at the ends of routes.

Overall a great read, while I didn't like the more drama points of Iroha's route and wasn't a fan of Mina, I absolutely loved Eiri's route from start to finish. Just a nice romance with some comedy here and there, with fun characters and interactions.

Usual reminder on japs literacy.

But I've seen most of these words in my mindbreak nukige.

>>12027241
Thats the point. Your average jap knows less vocabulary than average nukige.

>>12027247
It's just porn-specific vocabulary, I can read those but would be lost in your average office job.
It really proves nothing.

>>12027247
That's not "new vocabulary," it's just vocabulary peculiar to the genre. Nobody in Japan doesn't know what 零れる or 解れる means.

It's like making fun of shitty erotic novels that overuse phrases like "throbbing" and "quivering" and "erect". Every English speaker knows what that shit means, it just doesn't come up very often.

>>12027331
hehe... erect

>>12027331
Did you even read these tweets? Or you cannot understand japanese and made up your own meaning?
They outright state that they cannot READ them.

>>12027230
>>12027331
Well, some things are obviously niche, like 襞, 恍惚 or as has been proposed in retweets 淫靡.
Others are common words which are used in porn too often.
But isn't stuff like 嫉妬, 舐める and 纏う really common? And I don't even know any porn associations for some words like 戦慄 and 脆弱. Those are common vocabulary.
>>12027351
Uh, most of them say they CAN read everything, or everything but one or two words. And that should be expected from native speakers.

>>12027351
I didn't scroll down. And if you're going to judge the whole of the internet by someone named @ailes_1997 - I don't think that's a graduation year.

I feel some people here seriously underestimate the vocabulary of an average educated person.

>>12027230
Oh, I've recalled two more words which can be added to this list: 抽送 and 挿入.

>>12027446

>implying japanese can read as well as a nihongo master like ore

>>12027465
Maybe some japanese people, just like most of the average people nowadays, have really no interest in reading books, and thus their vocabulary becomes limited.

so, how many people here have passed N1 at least?

>>12027490
I dont need any tests to fap to cute girls, why would I do that?

>>12027230
>@ailes_1997
Kinda explains it

>>12027490
I've passed it. Not really worth shit though, I had to learned over 1000 more kanji and the vocab to go with them even after passing to really feel absolutely comfortable reading everything.

>>12027524
it is the basic after all. since we are all talking like the nihongo masters here, I just like to make sure the fundamental is there.

I just started playing chaos;head the other day and I'm confused as hell. So far when I hit the delusional triggers they turned out to all be in taku's head but when I hit the last one rimi appeared and there was no sign it was a delusion. Did she really appear out of nowhere in Taku's house or is it all just in his head? This game is such a mind fuck 8.5/10 would recommend.

Everybody knows what
まとう、せんりつ、ひだ、ぜいじゃく、etc... is but they don't necessarily see it written in kanji too often.

Though, admittedly you're a retard if you can't read some of them, like 嫉妬、舐める、脆弱、though. I remember some newscaster misreading 脆弱 as きじゃく and 2ch was calling her a retard.

I myself met some people that didn't know what 黎明 or 辛辣 meant. I kinda understand 黎明 since it's a bit 文学的 but 辛辣 made me think "fucking retard." These are mostly 留学生 though.

>>12027906

Also ranged sucked against bosses and melee was mediocre against normal fights.

>>12027915

>>12027917
I got too into the story and didn't want to slow down and practice fighting to get good at it, so I ended up just turning the difficulty to easy for the bosses after the first couple chapters (and to very easy for the last boss)

When I do Zero I'll go on hard and try to actually play the game.

Prepare for delays and more missing games.

If you're a HOTDOGGA you can fight the tranquilizer boss fight in the final route by yourself if you're on hard or higher iirc.

>>12027931
Can I be a Hamburglar instead?

>>12027930
Stuff like fun? Me too.

>>12027927
Didn't some of the uploaders start using FN instead of Share? I don't think it's going to cause as much of a delay as last time.

>>12027903
I remember that now that you mentioned it, but can't remember elder sister's name no matter how hard I try.
Why is it that you remember worst girl's name, anyway?

>>12027942
A few of them did, but then they disappeared. Now there's only that Justice guy uploading half of the releases every month.

>>12027942
And the guy in question uploaded pretty much all high profile titles on the release day.

>>12027931
I still don't know what the hell a hottodogaa is.

>>12027786
The Abeloos CG really made me go wtf, how is that going to happen. Don't tell me they are actually going to give him a good end? But that's probably something that happens only in IF-rotue.

>>12027898
>Gameplay is boring as hell
Nigga, Baldr Sky had fucking great gameplay. Just make sure to use different weapons in order to level up new ones and focus on melee as they're easier to combo with.

>>12027955
I recall reading that uploaders would give a one week period for the games to sell before uploading them, maybe that's what urged them to take urgent action?

>>12028141
Is your webm supposed to support your opinion or act as a counter example?

>>12028185
If that looks boring to you, please list some examples of more exciting gameplay because I want to have my mind blown.

>>12027944
Are you sure you actually read it? It was really easy to remember their names after that one scene in chapter 3.

>>12028190
I dropped it halfway through 今、確かに此処にいるあなたと, which I believe was the second chapter. So that's probably why I don't remember their names.
But I'm pretty sure their names were learned before that, cause I remember Kiyo being the spoiled brat's name.

>>12028141
Shit, now that makes me want to pick it up from my backlog now.

>>12028141
I am sorry for not being twelve years old.

>>12028197
At least finish that chapter before dropping it if you're going to make judgements about the characters.

>>12028199
You still think that's an argument, but it isn't.

>>12028200
I'm judging the characters by how they've acted so far. Anyone can have their reasons, but not much can excuse the shit that woman did.

Is Kimi ga Nozomu Eien worth a read?

>>12028246
I fucking hate this kind of question, also "Is [sometitle] easy to read ?" too.
Just fucking read it if it catch your interest, if you don't like it, or you can't read it, just drop it.
Simple as that.

>>12028395
Sorry for asking questions about VNs in the VN thread.

>>12028200
I finished and loved it but come on, it's hard not to bear a grudge against Kiyo.

>>12028397
You shouldn't ask questions here. Just keep saying what VN you played and how it was.

>>12028246
Depends if you enjoy love triangle, ntr and such.

>>12028246

If you don't mind playing through a slut, a weak love triangle (one side obviously backs off via her pure naviety), go for it. Also note it's Age, they like to throw jabbing bits every now and then.

Needed a good read after the disappointment that was Senshinkan.
Hello Lady! was great, too bad about best girls not getting a route, though it's one of those rare games where the protag steals the show anyway.

>>12027927
Oh god no, having to rely on 2DGJF to provide games is bad.

Did anyone here played the new flat "moege" game? Is "rose-colered" as it looks like or is there some deep shit? On egs has quite an high score so I was wondering if it has more to the history that meets the eye

>>12029149
Don't know. I'm downloading it right now since it seems to have a pretty high score with decent sample size.

Doesn't that screenshot belong to 放課後の不適格者 though?

>>12029163
Which screenshot? The one I posted? If that's the case it's code revise from flat.

I want her to die a long and painful death being strangled by her vocal chords.
I think even I'd do a better job at voicing a japanese imouto.

>>12029149
> "moege" game
>moe game game
???

Goddamn this VN, I was expecting something light. What I get is something along the lines of "be careful what you wish for" and RESPONSIBILITY.
Doesn't help the fact that you get a heroine's crying/sad face in the scenario transition screen after you turn them down.
Feels real bad man

>>12029282
Stuff where you have to actively turn girls down always gets me. I like it because it gets me sad, but it gets me sad.

>>12029300
Imoutos just don't work as heroines unless the family is really fucked up anyway.

>>12029305
That is a filthy lie trying to pass for an opinion.

>>12029313
That was my initial reaction, but to be honest, I can't think of any decent games with imouto heroines where the mc's family isn't fucked up in some way.

>>12029313
If heroines of your average eroge have already little excuses to ever fall for the MC beyond 'he's kind' and 'he's cool sometimes', the imouto just has even less 'oh, he'd do for me what older brothers always do for their little sisters, he must love be in a romantic way so much I get wet just thinking of it'.

>>12029319
In this >>12029300 case there's some actual reasons for her to love him, even if they're rather warped and twisted ones.

Perhaps you just don't understand imouto moe.

>>12029325
>you just don't understand imouto moe.
I get it, what escapes me is why they would ever feel attracted to their brothers, the blandest people on earth and part of her family. At least the rest of the heroines don't have the later part.
Really severe traumas? I get it.
Your parents are dead and you only have your onii-chan? Fine.
You didn't even meet till you were older? Okay.
But most of the time it's just a childhood friend who calls the MC onii-chan, little else.

>>12029329
Okay, that I can understand. Most of the imouto characters I've liked fall under the first three.

At least she knows all of his good points and his bad points so there's no inevitable moment when they move in together/get married and they find out all the more unpleasant stuff about each other.

>>12029329
Most imoutos and childhood friends are supposed to be easy. They already have an implied bonding, so there's no need to build up their relationship any further. They are there for the MC, wet and willing to fuck.

In the end, it just depends on the developers/players if they just want a light-hearted incest VN or not. Target demography and all that shit.
Before you ask, I dig it too, with or without dramatic character background. Bonus points from me if it's blood-related and they give society/morality the middle finger

>>12029336
Imoutos are supposed to have that whole oh no, incest thing going on but it's usually sidestepped or just plain ignored. Childhood friends don't even have that much.

>>12029369
I only like imoutos if they're cute lolis. There's nothing more pointless when the imouto is already an old teenager like the rest of the cast.

>>12029380
Love that as well. Dramatic background with them being alone together after dead parents is my absolute favourite.

Looking forward to Rance 9.

Though, why did they abandon Sprites? I loved the sprites infinitely better then the 3d models.

>>12029431
3d models are a lot less expensive to use.

>>12029446
Is Alicesoft in financial trouble?

I missed the Effordom fiasco; what the hell happened with Cutie Bullet apart from the number of CGs?
Did someone read it?

>>12029511
The ratings on EGS are amazing. 10/100

>>12029455
They are, their games gets worst by the release and their almost ten years past their last good release.

I can't seem to find Key's second game, Air, anywhere. Is there not a fan translation of it?

>>12029526
There is. Search for gaogaotranslations.

>>12029526
I'ts on the lewd part of nyaa. Air is an eroge.

>>12029536
>>12029540
Thank you. Btw, is there just one version of Steins;Gate? Or is there a 18+, and a 17 and under version

>>12029540
I'm a retard for spoonfeeding, I guess. It's even on the normal nyaa.

>>12029545
Well, it technically shouldn't be, at least not the original PC release.

>>12029545
>>12029551
So is the Standard edition the 18+ version? Because that's all they have besides a PSP version

>>12029543
I will be shitted on for this but whatever:
SG isn't an eroge. You can check versions at VNDB:
http://vndb.org/v2002
You should go to /jp-lite/ (/vn/ on /vg/) if you have more doubts, really. This thread moves more slowly, and It seems to be more niche and hostile towards new people.

>>12029514
It's pretty impressive. That's the lowest score for a game with over 10 votes since this one from 2009:
http://erogamescape.dyndns.org/~ap2/ero/toukei_kaiseki/game.php?game=12597

>>12029572
Thanks.

>>12029514
The designs are pretty cool, what a shame.

Rumor that Effordomsoft has disbanded.
http://otakomu.jp/archives/83598.html

>>12029620
For putting out a top 3 seller of the month?
Yeah, I believe that, totally.

>>12029514
>>12029574
Is it actually that bad, or it all just anal devastation from people who preordered it for whatever bonuses the shops were handing out and then the lack of content and whatever appeared?

>>12029696
Anal devastation.

>>12029696
The latter

>>12029696
According to reviews, the writing is pretty awful as well. And to be fair, selling a game with 35 CGs for full price is pretty bad under any circumstance.

>>12029694
For their parent company Akabei Soft it's probably a safer bet to dissolve Effordom Soft as a brand considering the backlash and shuffle the staff around into a new brand rather than have the next game bomb.

>>12029706
>the writing is pretty awful as well
Like anyone would have expected anything different. EGS is bunch of nerds anyway - WA2 on top? What a joke.

>>12029620
Hagure deleted that tweet, so seems like its not set in stone yet. Also, that guy is only one in team who made at least some effort, must suck to be on short end of stick now.

>>12029712
Not saying you're wrong, but what would you put on top?

>>12029712
> Like anyone would have expected anything different
There has to be at least something in the game.
Juukishi has no plot, no comedy (jokes are lame), no drama, and even their generic moeblobs come at 1/3 of normal quantity.

>>12029712
>Like anyone would have expected anything different.
Well, see, that's exactly the problem. It was obvious from the trial that the writing was shit, so the only reason people bought it was for the art. To pay full price and then find out you were only getting a third of what you were expecting must have felt like quite a kick in the balls.

Every time I launch Clannad, I see this. Hitting "Ok" brings up the same menu, and hitting "X" closes the game.

>>12029721
The art is godly, just like their previous game. A real shame too, if you look at the OP of their first game, it really gives off the vibe of being a masterpiece.

>>12029715
>that guy is only one in team who made at least some effort
35 CGs is effort?

>>12030080
All of them are of his usual quality, so its not like slacked off. Obviously amount of CGs was set by project manager, not him.

>>12030095
Almost 10k yens for 35CGs and you think that's not worth being pissed about?

>>12030177
Did you even try reading preceding posts?

I only read Reina's route at first and was somewhat confused about the outrage. But the lack of Miyabi CGs is hilarious.

I wonder when Baldr Sky Zero 2 will be uploaded

>>12030024
Then what does cancel do?

Where do you guys get older games (in japanese)?
I'm searching for Angelic Concert Encore and I've found only chinese version so far.

EGS down again?

Is EGS down again?

Does anyone remember its admin's twitter?

>>12030518
It's on Clubbox.

>>12029246
Many characters in Soukoku no Arterial had shit VAs, but Mirai and her 2 friends were the worst. That was the first (and only) time I actually muted someone in sound menu.

>>12030615
https://twitter.com/hiro_in

>>12030681
I don't mind one of them so much, but Shaneorka and Mirai are fucking terrible, the rest I don't mind so much and I like some of them.
The sad part is that the bro has better chemistry with the MC than most of the to-be heroines.

>>12030681
Mirai friend that has an eye-patch also plays the granddaughter of Louie, the other I already played several vns with her, just in this role was kinda awkward I guess, Mirai itself when is narrating the menu is perfectly fine, the problem is in the game itself, so I kinda disagree with you.

>>12030651
Not him. But the Korean filesharing program?
Jesus, Google makes this shit look like pure spyware. Only works through IE, and ONLY with a security exception, while requiring ads to be displayed? What in the world, dude.

And I have little to no idea why that image would exist.

Tomoya, why you still not playing Half-Minute Hero? Do it faggot.

>>12030808
No Ootori fig・・・

>>12030778
It looks like spyware but the files are legit. Just run it on a virtual machine.

So right now I play my vns on XP (I only use it for vns) because the machine I use only has 1GB of RAM. Win 7 32 bit has 1GB required, think I can VN run fine?

>>12030953
And let the virtual machine connect to the internet? I think not. Surely there must be something better for obscure files like old VNs.

>>12030953
I used to run Win7 (and Vista before that) on a system with 1 GB of RAM, it'll probably be fine. Or you could try Win8, since I hear it has better memory management than 7.

Or just keep using XP, because if you're only using it for VNs who cares if it's supported or not?

>>12030953
>>12030961
There's gonna come to a point when new VN's just won't run at all on XP. Unless you just wanna play the ones up to just this decade give or take, he's gonna have to upgrade.

>>12030968
True, but that time isn't yet. Everything still supports XP as far as I've seen, and probably will for some time to come. Japan tends to lag behind on these things.

Oretsuba ps3/Vita in a few hours.
I'm getting the Vita version, can't wait for a few more hours of Jackson

>>12030994
Not everything (but not because of lack of producer support yet, I think).
I've had problems with ojounana. I use VMWare for virtual machines and on XP guest it didn't have videocard drivers with support for AGP texture acceleration, so ojounana gave a warning and didn't show any text. I installed Windows 7 as a guest, and this VN started working out of the box. And I think, Virtual Box had the same problem on XP guest.

Im playing through Ever 17 right now!
Just finished Sugumi's route and now starting Sora
Have to say the game is pretty amazing and I cried at the end of Tsugumi's route twice ;.;

>>12031096
I'm getting the Vita version too! AmiAmi shipped my order this morning. Can't wait.

Are you by any chance the French guy I was discussing Vita galge with on /v/ a few months ago? The one who recommended I play the Kiseki series?

> ■マブラヴ オルタネイティヴ トータル・イクリプス
> 対応OS：Windows XP（32bit）／Vista（32bit）／7／8／8.1 日本語版

Looking back through age's games they generally dropped an OS shortly after Windows discontinued support. Kiminozo got out with W95 support right after, and it took nearly two years for 2000 to get dumped. TE could conceivably be the last thing they release for XP.

Only looking at them in particular because the 8.1 thing caught my eye when I first saw it.

>>12031125
I don't really remember that thread but I'm french and I do try to recommend the Kiseki series whenever I can so that was probably me.

I finished the second chapter of Asairo and there's no obvious way to get to the third. The title didn't change. Do I need to reinstall or some bullshit?

I'm really confused by this.
It says there are 3 appends but lists only 2?
And in what order they should be installed?
I remember GnK2 update and append conflicted with each other, so I had to give up on update and just install append.

I have lunchbox, guidebook, gaiden and update files, but trying out all possible combinations is going to be too bothersome, could someone spoonfeed me?

>>12031835
Apparently Gaiden is stand-alone game. So thats minus one.

Holy hell there is so much stuff to look forward to this month

>>12029981
I think has something to do with politeness stuff. You are supposed to polite to person who is older than you.

>>12029981
It would be a surprise if it was some pipsqueak young looking kid.

>>12031915
Not really, almost all games except Memoria, Rance and Demonion were delayed. Also, guy who uploaded most of march titles got arrested, so its very likely that april stuff will take a lot of time before getting on net.
3Ping and Baldr are still not uploaded.

>>12031938
>not buying rance

>>12031938
Pretty x Cation and Racial Merge, too. I know some people here were looking forward to those. Even with just those five, that's still quite a lot compared to, well, any month in the last couple of years really.

>>12031952
Cation games are best played year after release, when there are enough appends.

>>12031938
I love nukige so I guess that bloats my monthly expectations

>>12031938
>guy who uploaded most of march titles got arrested

Fuck. Another one? I thought they only do these crackdown once in a while for show.

>>12032006
I don't get why all the uploaders haven't moved to Freenet yet. Sure it's slow, but you only have to upload it once and then it can get propagated through torrents or Share or whatever after that.

>>12032010
Or just seed from public wifi or something.

>>12032032
That would require hikineets leaving their house to go to a place with public wifi.

>>12032091
Okay, simpler method: buy 10$ VPS in country like Ecuador (where copyright infringement is not a crime) and seed from there.

>>12031305
Yep

>>12032094
Still not going to be a secure as Freenet, though it'd be better than uploading straight to fucking Share.

Aren't most of stuffs uploaded by the Chinese? 2DG something?

>>12032104
They re-upload stuff from share.

>>12032104

What's with the shitty timing, always getting arrested during the most important months.

>>12032116
http://orenogalgame.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-2992.html
Interesting. So expect a several-week delay for a lot of stuff, at least for a while. To be perfectly honest, I'm feeling okay about that if it means more money in the creator's pockets. Not that I can talk, given that I've never bought a single eroge myself.

I could wait for usual releases, but thought of waiting 5 weeks for Memoria is too painful to endure.
Maybe I should actually preorder it myself, anyone knows reliable and easy to use proxy service who ships on sale day?

Started Verita now. What the fuck is with Louie and Karen side? Tried wandering into 霞の祠B16F, getting insta-killed there. Regular ice queens one-shot Karen quite often as well.
Should I play extra stories first or just grind a lot there?

>>12032163
You shouldn't even touch the first entry to the 霞の祠, you can't take it during your first dungeon.
Later on, it gets easier as you naturally level up.

>>12032163
I believe they even gave you a warning to not go in there.

About Sukoku no Arterial, which could be considered the true route?
I plan on doing just 3-4 across the three alignments but would like to do the 'main' one first. Human Mirai maybe? She looks like a main heroine and neutral is always a winner in this stuff.

>>12032182
Yeah, they should have had a conversation about coming back to it later.

>>12032183
There isn't really a true route, altough the devil route was added as an afterthought so it can be counted as least canon.

The train girl is pretty cute, but I'm going for the teacher first.

What the fuck is that name. Is it explained in the VN?
Because that's the same as naming your daughter "Express Acela" or "Train Eurostar". I mean, even the surname seems very unlikely to be possible, and "Train" or "Express" for the first name seems dumb as fuck too.

>>12032271
Well, during soviet times there were some extremelly fucked up names like Arlen (from ARmy of LENin), so if she is born in 1950s its not that surprising.

>>12032271
Not in the trial. Maybe they'll explain it later. Or maybe they'll just make train puns and leave it at that.

>>12032157
You could use amiami, no need to use proxy as they ship outside of japan too. I personaly use them.

>>12032306
I use amiami for figurines too, but there's no Memoria at amiami. Or any other Eushully titles.

Do they ship on first day of sale like figurines or in advance? Still will take about week with EMS.

>>12032341
No bonus, that's pretty shitty.

>>12032345
Usually ship on release day.

>>12032347
All the pre-orders come with the append-1 disc. Theres also the amiami telecard version too if you want it.

Oh right forgot what the deadline had been. Somethimes you do get the bonus stuff even after that date but sometimes not.

Memoria, Rance IX, Demonion 2 and PrettyxCation are the likeliest candidates to get uploaded soonish over freenet or something, there are more sensible choices if people are going full panic mode and start buying eroge.

>>12032393
Why would I spend money on something else if I can spend them on my most loved company? I didn't preorder earlier only because I didn't want to bother with proxies.

That's some funny slav fanservice. Being a slav myslef I can tell ya there are a few types of "trains", for example "elektrichka" and "poezd" both mean train< but here are some differences:
-Elektrichka works on electricity, hence the name. Poezd uses charcoal.
-Poezd is bigger and is meant to cross our lovely and giantic mother russia - and that's many days of travel. Poezd is made so that there are 4 beds in a room and you can have a sleep. Elektrichka uses just seatings.
-Obviously, poezd works at night since it travels a long distances, elektrichka doesn't work at night.
Elektrichka is more like buses and it is being used to travel among nearby cities. And if there are train otaku, here is some information about Sapsan, there aren't much of them and they use only one route:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapsan

>>12032271
It's a name that can be shortened to Eri in Japanese and that's all they want. They probably look up some dictionary and find those 2 words kind of funny. Of course no Japanese would know the meaning unless they look up on the internet; and even then, they wouldn't know it's a really strange name, because it's a common stereotype that westerners have funny names, like Pig or Orange.

>>12032495
Yeah, I know, I'm Russian myself. And I can't play a game where a girl is named Elektrichka (in English: Electric train) because it sounds too dumb. I mean, can you imagine dating a girl named Electrictrain? (short name would be Elly, I guess) It's legal in Russia, but still incredibly stupid. I understand names like Angel, Princess, Radost (happiness), Beryoza (birch - tree, which is considered a symbol of Russia), even some Soviet ones like Vilen or Arvil sound ok, but Electrictrain? How much do you have to hate your daughter to give her that name? It's retardation on the level of Dazdraperma (Soviet one, means "Hail, Labour Day", sounds like "sperm"), Euromaidan (after recent pro-European wave of unrest in Ukraine, literally "Eurosquare") and Khaleesi.
Sorry for the rant.

>>12032515
It's not random words. It's literally Russian analogue for "Train Eurostar", word usage is semantically a bit off though.

>>12032515
>It's a name that can be shortened to Eri in Japanese and that's all they want.
Not really, unless you consider Eri and Ere to be the same thing. And then they go and call her レーチェ, anyways (how do you even get that from her name?).

>>12032583
>>12032495
If I pointed it out every time Japan got my language wrong, I'd have no time to post about anything else. It's better to dismiss it as "lol Japan" and ignore it.

I've only seen two people who cared enough to get foreign languages right, Ken Akamatsu and Akiko Shikata. Both of which have done some impressively accurate work.

>>12031835
Lunchbox has first append (Deadbeat dungeon, Lily and Tiffana)
Guidebook has all three appends. Second has Sylvia and Rasheena and third updates game to version 2.0 (more diffuculty levels, alchemy shop expansion, additional battles on arena, extra scenaios, Haishera, Saimof, Irina and Famishirasu)
Gaiden is a separate application.
Whatever other updates you have are identical to respective files found on guidebook disc.

>>12032629
>And then they go and call her レーチェ, anyways (how do you even get that from her name?).

Now that' a good question.

Let her tell you.

>>12032676
Eh, I missed one one and I used one other twice. Oh well, you get the idea.

>>12032676
Eh, I missed one line and used one other twice. Oh well, you get the idea.

>>12032676
So she likes to be called Leche? Oh god, I thought her name couldn't get funnier.

>>12032676
So they know normal Russian names and common pet names, but still named the character Elektrichka, and nobody in the game said it's unusual.

>>12032629
ErekutoRICHIka

>>12032687
>Leche
>French for lick
It just keeps getting better and better.

>>12032726
>Leche my leche, Leche
Absolutely perfect.

>>12032700
Honestly I'm more bothered about her being supposedly fluent in Japanese, but still speaking with pauses between every word and using over-the-top foreign accent. I guess it's possible to be like that if she just studied vocabulary and grammar and had no actual speaking experience.

Still, if you know enough Japanese words and grammar, it shouldn't be a problem to chain them naturally in speech.

I guess I hope she'll get better during her route. It would be a good way to showcase plot progression.

>>12032726
Or milk in spanish.

>>12032733
>it shouldn't be a problem to chain them naturally in speech.
It really is, you can read/listen well, but chaining words like a native is complicated. And accents are accents, hard to get rid of them.

>>12032726
>>12032734
This is getting lecherous.

>>12032733
I was applying for summer JLPTN2 at local JP embassy several days ago. Embassy worker randomly started asking questions in japanese and while I could easily understand what he says, it took me quite a while to piece together some kind of reply.
You have to practise speaking specifically to be able to ordinarily talk in jp.

I don't think the writer is too concerned with the sensibilities of some Russian mofos on foreign message boards. Elektrichka sounds "cute", isn't that a diminutive form in Russian anyway? So there you go. People who care this much about nonsensical foreign names are weird.

>>12032745
>isn't that a diminutive form in Russian anyway?
No, diminutive would be "elektrichechka".
And both sound weird as fuck, you'd probably end up in mental clinic if you would go around here calling yourself that.

>>12032741
Hmm, sure. sure, but she doesn't have any problems replying to anything. The protagonist even twice says she seems fluent. It doesn't take her any time to come up with a reply, she just speaks it out broken.

I guess I'm overthinking it at this point. She's the foreign girl the protagonist can aim for, so if she's to fulfil reader's fantasies of a foreign girl, she better look and sound very foreign. And accent and broken speech are meant to accomplish that.

>>12032749
Me, Matrusheka.

Reminds me of the little Russian I've learned years ago.

I didn't even know her name was that bad, thought it sounded kinda cool actually. Leave it to nips to butcher every and any language.

>>12032104
Obviously the first uploads are by Japanese since Chinese wouldn’t be able to buy the original to upload. They re-upload it from Share and then it finds its way to more international waters. Like how comiket upload threads are JP→CN→US/rest

>>12032761
Actually, the first Clover Days was uploaded by a Chinese, living in Japan.

>>12032749
Russian diminutives don’t make sense anyway. Vladimir becomes Vova and Ivan becomes Vanja.

>>12032763
Nothing is certain anymore

>>12032749
>No, diminutive would be "elektrichechka"
That'd be too much, "chk" is already a diminutive suffix.

The only thing that should be obvious here is that densha otakus love Russian trains more than the Russians do.

>>12032771
Umm, chk in elektrichka is not suffix.

>>12032754
I think the actual problems with foreign language speakers should be:
- sometimes making absolutely improbable mistakes, which no native speaker could ever make;
- forgetting a word or a phrase and either stammering trying to recall it, or replacing it with something too simple or too complex for the situation;
- not knowing obvious cultural things.

And the foreign accent representation by native speakers is usually totally different from how the foreigners actually speak.

>>12032766
There are better cases: Veronika becomes Vika, and Vera is a completely unrelated name. Alexander or Alexandra may become Shura. Margarita becomes Rita or rarely Margo.

>>12032771
"Ch" is from "elektricheCHestvo" (eletricity), and "k" alone is not dimunitive. If you want to speak about some small cute elektrichka, you'd actually say elektrichechka.

>>12032779
Russian doesn't make any damn sense

>>12032779
Josef becomes Pepa and Jan becomes Honza. Do you have that in Russian too?

>>12032784
>Josef becomes Pepa
I still wonder why it's like that, Jose becomes Pepe in spanish.

>>12032784
Nope. Those are regular (Josef -> Iosif/Osip -> Osya, Jan -> Ivan -> Vanya). Is it Chezh?

>>12032802
>Is it Chezh?
Yes, Czech.

Played this route twice in a row already. It's just too hilarious.

I've tried everything and I can't run Baldr Force, is there a series of videos, or a summary of the plot I can read before starting Dive?

>>12032939
Oh come on, you can run that shit on w7x64 with little trouble, especially EXE runs great, SE needs one tiny change.
That said, you don't need to read it before Sky.

>>12032943
Well I need to change my desktop's processor before I can use it again, and my notebook is a windows 8. I guess I'll look up virtual machines, because I want to play the whole thing.

Why can't console scene groups like HR or Caravan release eroge? Someone shoot them an email or something.

>>12032939

Force ( & EXE) needed 16-bit colour for me to run, otherwise it runs fine even within a VM or just W7 64-bit.

>>12033046
EXE didn't need the change when I installed, SE on the other hand did, but mainly to avoid being forced to fullscreen.

Is it just me or did MURAMASA and uzuki feel slightly out of place in Muramasa? The singer's voice just seems a bit too high compared to the overall tone of the story (And Kageaki's deep voice). Not that they were bad songs, but I could imagine something else fitting in better.

I enjoyed most of the BGM, though.

Oh, just noticed 終わる世界と双子座のパラダイス was finally uploaded. Neat.

>>12033181
Oh sweet.

Yes, I was waiting for CG like this

Should I just wait for the remake of Ikusa Megami be released, or is it good enough to be worthy of a shot?

>>12032183
Human.

>>12033327
Considering it's two weeks from release, just bear with it and check some of the screenshots of the old game every time you feel like playing it wouldn't be such a bad idea.

How long is Owaru Sekai to Birthday compared to your normal 5 heroine moege? My birthday is approaching and I want to time it right.

>>12033425
about as long as 1 and a half

>>12033425
It's a 4-heroine scenarioge. It's deceptively long though, you can plow through the first three branches in about the time it'd take for 3 short routes, but the 4th one is a two-parter with another side scene and then the true end after that. And THEN the epilogue, which is where the surprise is.

Give yourself 5-7 days? You can always slow down or do something else.

Majokoi trial out any time now.

Oh wow, that Ruie omake second version. Yandere Irina is scary.

Finished reading the novel sequel for Carnival. It was a great read, I recommend it to anyone who read the original game.
Guess I'll now go play Rance games until IX comes out.

Does Tayutama only have a Nue route on the Xbox version?

Downloading from these jap sites is just impossible.

news at eleven

I thought about starting 古色迷宮輪舞曲 ～HISTOIRE DE DESTIN～, because last time I was in Japan the cover really caught my eyes but I eventually forgot about it until now.
Did anyone in /jp/ played it, and if so, was it a tanoshii ride ?

>>12034052
I remember enjoying it quite a bit, but at the same time, I can only remember things about it that were terribly executed and really bothered me.

I haven't read it but I don't want that singers in VNs have similar voice than seiyuus, specially male ones. It would feel unconformable.

>>12034086
>I don't want that singers in VNs have similar voice than seiyuus
How about the heroines voiced by Sakakibara Yui when she also sings for the game?

>>12034052
My opinion is similar to >>12034065
It's a nice title with a pretty interesting plot but the execution at times in the second half of the game can feel pretty rushed.

Actually the Vita version of the game had his price cut in half and is now 3k yens, looks like it's part of a campaign that will last till the 16th this month.
I'm saying this because the Vita version had a lot of parts that were rewritten and a lot of new scenes, supposedly.
I'm interested in seeing what a complete version of the game could be like so I'm thinking of buying it

>>12034138
thanks for the tip, but I'm a no-vita-pleb.
I'm pretty relieved to hear it's not a terrible game anyway, and that it deserves it's EGS score.

>>12034052

I enjoyed it much when it was out, the key words system imo was worth cursing without a guide to follow, felt more as a chore as it goes. I do like how it unlocks the bad ends though, somehow it was more fitting. The story was imo interesting, and I liked they really integrated breaking of 4th wall with serious thoughts than the usual joke attempts.

Well, zap through it, the trial has 3 ero scenes... It seems to hint just a tiny tiny little bit more than standard magic beast / new witch doing cute things. Looks nice though, can't say it had me hooked like say, Hello Lady's trial; the feel isn't quite solid.

>>12034284
Shit, more and more people keep saying Hello Lady is good. I might have to read it.

>>12034284
>Well, zap through it, the trial has 3 ero scenes...
That's not particularly promising if the game has to give sex scenes so soon.
