What are some chuuni games with metal as fuck soundtracks? I want something like Dies Irae where like 70+% of it is full of good riffs.

That's not the official announcement, just a random dude who went to comiket.

Enjoying this so far. Daily life with tsundere loli ghost (tsun during the day, dere during the night). It has perfectly drawn flat chest. Some modern artists have a tendency to call a girl flat and then draw her with B cups in HCG. Heresy, I call that.

>>37949605
Cute size. (both of the girl and the chest size you mention)

I don't why but this song about eroge has suddenly become very nostalgic and I want to share this feeling with you all.

>>37945716
>when attempting to complete every game with misonoo mei in it.
How'd that go?

>>37949605
Those nipples are a heresy on a flat chest, to be honest.
That's pretty much why I can't bring myself to get interested in that game despite liking heroine's design in general.

>>37949605
I love small chest but total flattie is just a big turn off for me. It's no different than femboy chest which is gay.

>>37950377
What do you mean? They are realistic child nipples. From experience when my sister and I were kids, in case mods get mad about that comment for some reason.
Look again at https://imgur.com/a/2qaBp6F and tell me it doesn't look absolutely wonderful.

>>37950788
Not from viewing Japanese photobooks from the 80s?

>>37950788
At least this image from the official site: https://citrus-soft.net/product/hokejyo/images/character/pic01e.jpg left an impression on me that nipples were too humongous in this game.
I guess they are just not very consistent. As I pay more attention now, it's clear that their size changes in different images, with some being much better than others.

>>37950910
I'm no expert, but those strike me as too big, yeah.

>>37950910
That's just a bad angle, I suppose. I should follow that regardless of that, if someone likes lolis who actually act like kids, they should give this a shot. I fully expected her to be like an iyashikei onee-san type heroine going into this, but no, she's just an immature child in both body and mind.
Though she says she's older than MC (early 20s) by counting the time she's spent as a ghost, she hasn't matured a bit. She hides behind the MC when meeting new people, often spewing toxic remarks at them from the safety of cover. She gets jealous easily and lightly pinches him or blows her signature bubble toy in MC's face to grab his attention. She doesn't admit to being head over heels for MC (the game starts with them as a couple), but she insists on taking baths with him, getting carried around, making him dress her, and 仕方なく getting ravaged at night. Man, I grow to like her more and more as I type this.

>>37966754
Somebody will patch the voices into the original anyway but frankly I'm getting pretty dissapointed with some eroge/novels games being released only on consoles and not on Windows, especially when Type-Moon has a history of Windows releases. I sort of accepted it with Tsukihime considering it's only a half of the game and PC version would come in some glorious deluxe edition when both parts are released but now with Mahoyo (which amounts to basically only an) update being released only on PS and Switch I'm sort of losing hope. It's just kind of… dumb, to be honest.

>>37967145
Well the switch port of Kirikiri emulates flawlessly so I don't really care desu. It would bother me otherwise. I probably would have had some kind of autistic meltdown if the new Tsukihime didn't emulate well since I don't own a Switch (and probably never will unless they get to like the $100 price range since I'm a cheap bastard).

>>37969660
>Steam is not that popular in Japan to begin with, especially in otaku circles
True, and that's my point: the Deck is a portable console that, due to also being a PC as well as having Steam's library to back it up, already more games and "PC exclusives" than any other handheld in the market at launch.
It's such a unique opportunity, and yet I'm pretty sure Valve will not bother with the nip market.

>>37969660
Japanese was the 7th most used language on Steam in November according to Valve itself.

>>37970095
With the closest by percentage of usage being Polish at the 8th place, despite Poland having 3 times lower population, despite higher percentage of English speakers in Poland, and despite Japan being the 3rd economy globally.

i called that they'd re-release mahoyo with voices but man is that retarded
>anniversary, so they'll re-release an incomplete game

>>37970519
Just because there's some sequel bait/unanswered questions doesn't mean it's not a complete story. I'd rather Nasu write the next Tsukihime part before a hypothetical Mahoyo 2. Anything is better than the fucking gatcha though.

Is it weird that I only play vns if they have sexual content in them, but 99 times out of 100 I just skip past the sex scenes?

>>37973419
not really
all ages means the entire writing will be affected by age restrictions, not just the existence of sex

>>37973460
Eh not really in my experience. Most scenario games I've played could easily be edited down to 15+ or so if you just take out the H scenes.

>>37973460
>>37973692
Interesting to hear about. Do you have any vn recs that seem to have unaffected writing with some fan-service and implied sex scenes?

>>37973847
Well off of the top of my head, the sequel Demonbane game is pretty much that. It has a few hot CGs/lines and Kurou and Al are a couple that (obviously) have sex. It's not a "fade to black" so I don't know if that's what you're looking for exactly, but they talk about it a few times. I think it's 15+.

>>37970519
Contrary to what delusional bubble sperg believes voices are important in VN and most players listen to them instead of skipping.

Oh boy, some crowds of people would lose their minds. This was cool though. Explaining why you are living your life incorrectly in the middle of a fight will always be one of my favorite cliches.

Higher English speaking population speaks AGAINST what you are trying to say.
I'm using English in Steam myself as well, without being from an English speaking country.

To use an actual different language than English, you either suck at English or see no reason to use English.


Also I don't think Steam is unpopular anyway. There are more and more JP games released on Steam. Both JP only, and JP availability in releases in general. If it'd not work, you'd not see the likes of Touhou Labyrinth 2 and whatnot be released there (JP only at first), or all kinds of other doujin games, VNs and so on.
I don't know what kind of Otaku don't care about Steam, but there must be a lot that do, given all the niche games being on there.

Sure it's still somewhat seen as an international platform (which isn't wrong anyway), but there's more and more stuff sold on there that's (at least at first) solely intended for the local Japanese market. Like everything, any platform needs some time getting used to, but it's been progressing over quite some years now to the point it's definitely established by now. You will be having trouble finding a Japanese game being released on there, that doesn't offer JP text, provided there isn't already such a version anyway (be it region locked or not).

>Higher English speaking population speaks AGAINST what you are trying to say.
Why? For example, there are 10% of users out of Poland who prefer English instead of Polish while there are 5% of similar users out of Japan. Those numbers mean that number of Japanese users counted as using Japanese is 5% lower than total due to their switch to English, while number of users of Polish language is 10% lower than total.
Poland has much higher level of average English proficiency per capita than Japan so it's not unreasonable to expect much higher percentage of those who switch to English from their native language.

And yet Polish is right next to Japanese in the Steam's language statistics.

>>37989429
According to Steam they had $4.3 billion in sales in 2017, while according to DMM.com they had almost $2 billion in sales in 2017: https://dmm-corp.com/company/
It's not a fair comparison because DMM.com is not only games but also streaming, porn, DVD/BD sales, goods, and whatever else, but still DMM.com is very big actually.

If I already have the old releases and they still work, are there any reasons to update to the Yuzusoft Pentabox? Some of the sample sprites and CGs looked different=worse. I don't care about resolutions but if they added flowcharts, jump features and other QoL I'd get them.

>>37991392
DLsite would be a more appropriate comparison, but it's definitely going to be lower since their catalog is universally 18+ and that will always limit your customer base.

>>37993445
Guessing based off of absolutely nothing, but it's probably that the number for Arabic is 0.009% or less (which is still thousands of people given steam's massive userbase), but the system they set up only shows the first two digits. They probably had some internal cutoff of a couple thousand users where it wouldn't even show any languages who had less, and Arabic just squeaked in over the cutoff to show up, but wasn't high enough to actually reach 0.01%

>>37993465
Looks like DLsite had 6 million users total and around 230 million dollars in sales in the 2020 financial year:
>https://media.eisys.co.jp/public/uploads/20210528_27th.pdf
>『DLsite』を運営する株式会社エイシス(所在地：東京都千代田区、代表取締役：明石耕作)は、2020 年度で売上高を 23 年連続で更新し、昨対比 155%成長の 250 億円の売上高となりました。
>この1年で新規に会員登録したユーザー数は200万人と増加。 その結果、 全体の会員ユーザー数は620万人（2021年4月末時点）となりました。

So if that calculation which gives 5 million Steam users in Japan is accurate then DLsite should be around the same scale, with DLsite of course being very otaku-specific and very tilted towards 18+ content.

That's why I asked. I couldn't find anything about that. I think I saw pics of flowcharts added to Tenshin Ranman though so I thought maybe they did more with the older games.
>the only interesting part is the pc version of the psp version of tenshin ranman with the two additional heroines but that one doesnt seem to be included in the torrents
AFAIK they didn't make a PC port for that and the Pentabox includes the R18 PC release and a physical rerelease of the PSP port.

>>38000583
>and the Pentabox includes the R18 PC release and a physical rerelease of the PSP port.
nope
it includes the physical r18 release and a download code for the pc port of the psp version

>>38000849
You're right about the code but I think it's for a digital PSP version not a PC port. But whatever, I don't care about the all-ages version.

I downloaded the Pentabox version of Natsukana and it doesn't have any QoL features at all. On startup there was a prompt for screen resolution so 4kfags get something out of this shitty rerelease. No new options or features, no backlog jump, nothing. A few GPU settings are also gone and in a different tab there's a DX12 thing. The only other change is a new default font and having like 3x more font options available.

This Pentabox anniversary release is a scam. They should've done something like August did for Yoake, adding QoL features in addition to the HD graphics.
Wow, I can't even open the files in garbro anymore. Into the trash it goes. I keep my original release.

Alright, I completely finished the first Senshinkan. Overall, it's pretty fantastic so if you're a chuunitard like me there's no way could come out disappointed. Lots of cool CGs, hotblooded action, etc. So the obligatory question is how does it compare to Dies Irae/shinza? I thought some things were better and other things were worse, so overall for me it's pretty much a wash (AKA it's 9+/10 easily). As it's commonly pointed out, the SoL parts in Senshinkan are shockingly good. It's a step up from KKK which itself was a step up from Dies Irae. The jokes are funny, and the main cast actually feel like real friends. In this regard, Senshinkan is actually kind of the opposite of Dies Irae. There's nothing wrong with Ren & co., but it's pretty much unquestionable that the antagonists were more interesting. Everyone had their favorite nazi or two while reading that. In Senshinkan, the protagonists are much more interesting than the villains. There's nothing wrong with Amakatsu, Keira, etc., but Yoshiya's gang was a lot more fun.

Speaking of Yoshiya, it seemed somewhat common in internet reviews for people to not like him that much as a protagonist. Funnily enough, the typical reasons those people listed were exactly why I liked him.Intelligent and at the top of his class? Responsible and hard-working? Strong moral foundation and firm decision making. Fuck yes, this guy is cool. How often does a character like this even end up being a protagonist and in a chuuni game of all things? I felt it was a nice change of pace from the typical archetypes you get.

Where I felt Senshinkan was weaker than Dies was in the plot. Not that there's anything wrong with it, Dies had a more sophisticated and more developed plot imo. People commonly complain about the couple of fodder routes that Dies has, but Senshinkan pretty much has the same problem but worse. Objectively speaking, it's not bad and they do tie into the overall story, but things don't really get real (haha) until the final route. In Dies, the end of Kei's route is where shit gets real but you lose. Marie's route continues this, and then Rea's route is a clever subversion. In Senshinkan, Akira, Ayumi, and Rinko are all pretty much fodder with the Rinko route being the ultimate setup for Mizuki's route which is the real deal. There's nothing wrong with this, and most writers wouldn't be able to pull off something like this so well anyways, but I simply preferred the plot structure/setup of Dies. Mizuki's route is undeniably fantastic though.

One small complaint I do have is that Senshinkan lacked a grand epilogue chapter. To be fair, Dies Irae and KKK originally didn't have one either, but still lacking that kind of hurts. That was among the best part of those games. Then again, there is a direct sequel to the first Senshinkan so perhaps my complaint isn't really justified. So I'd say that KKK is still my favorite Masada game so far, but this was still perfectly awesome in its own right. You can't really complain.

>>38003226

No worries, it's forever preserved in the archives.

By the way, did anyone check out the RE:D Cherish! trial yet? I guess I should find some time to try it out.

So is there a recommend route order for kunado kokuki?

>>38005502
Really? I thought it was clear.
>Yuuri -> R&B -> Haruhime

>>38005524
I was worried because the girl who overwhelmingly seemed like the main girl in the last purplesoftgame and got like 80% of the screentime in the common route was actually meant to be the first route you read, and the stalker gag character who's barely in the common route is the true route.

Kinda a crapshoot, but can anyone share a healthy link for Doop Advance? The one on AB only has the original PC98 release and I'm too lazy to fire an .hdi file.

>>38005583
And you already tried the hsuki link, correct?

>>37996038
Man I hope someone uploads that one. I don't care if it's all ages, I want to play the new routes in full HD instead of shitty PSP resolution.

>>38005838
It would be great if someone already had uploaded it to sukebei, right?
But surely, that can't be the case...

I agree with most of things you said, except i didn't read KKK yet, so for me senshinkan feels like a huge upgrade from dies. For routes, i don't see much issues with them in senshinkan, because they're simply shorter. Kinda excited for senshinkan fd and kkk now, ngl.

I want to play Magatsu Barai so I'm actually glad it got delayed since they originally were supposed to release in the same week.

Why do nukige suck so much? I just spent 2 hours reading loli rape and vanilla doujins and didn't even touch my dick once. I just read them for the scenario and hot art. I could bust a nut every time I read a doujin but with nukige I more often than not don't find them hot enough. Not enough CG variations and most nukige never make use of cut-ins, close-ups or other visual devices. Voice acting in nukige is almost always bad and weak scripts with stock phrases and goat moaning make it worse. Moege have better voice acting though. And with how much could be done with visual novel style artistically and in terms of scenario just nothing really does it. A 20 page doujin achieves more in every way than a 3 hour nukige with 20 H-scenes. The main weakness of doujin is the short length and lack of buildup and connection with characters. But nukige aren't much better with how rushed the scenarios are and often nonsensical to a point it turns me off. Moege do that better but take too long to reach the payoff. Meanwhile a multi chapter doujin has enough time to develop setting and characters and tell a story I can care about and edge for long enough to bust a satisfying nut. Nukige are bad for edging because if 1 scene doesn't do the job the others likely won't either so you're wasting your time reading bad porn.

>>38009611
In my view, it's mainly just an inherent issue when doing a multi-route mystery setup. When you structure your game like this, the true/final route naturally has to be the best. If it somehow isn't, you're either a goddamn genius or your mystery is actually just shit. So that leaves the writer with the task of making the other routes worthwhile own their own while also revealing some things for the overall plot but not too much. That's hard. When it comes to senshinkan, I say "problem" here in the loosest sense of the word, but I could see how some people complain about certain aspects. For instance, Akira's route is certainly vital and important in terms of character writing, setting details, etc. But it ultimately doesn't resolve anything. Seijuurou loses to Yoshiya + Akira and then amusingly to Gozou later, but it doesn't directly result in anything. Yoshiya's daddy issues don't actually get fixed until the final route. Again, there's not there's anything particularly wrong with this, but I could see why someone may find that lacking when compared to say Rinko's route where both Narutaki and Harumitsu realize their own love interests. Both of their feelings are pretty vital and directly impact the plot so that it feels a lot more consequential in comparison.

>>38009850
yep, every single one of the thousands with several dozen more released every month are bad. Every single one. Thanks for your contribution, anon.

>>38009850
I have the opposite problem desu. My shitty nukige faps are usually better than my doujinshi faps.

>>38009636
Magatsu looks cool but Im waiting for a possible R18 version. Hopefully with new content for a change.

>>38008425
That's some shit zoomer urbanpunk clothing design.

>>37995921
Did no one playing the ??? route other than me?
Do we only get the extra 6+1 reminisce scene at night and the super short epilogue?
Was it even possible to fight against Grim Dragon Leon on this route, cause the limit of the night scene?

>>38010004
If zoomers actually started to dress in some futuristic cyberpunk fashion, they might be alright.

>>38010021
If it becomes a common clothing trend, wouldn't no longer be futuristic because it's just the present now?

>>38010021

Huh. That's really funny, anon.
See, I could have sworn that downloaded a 2.7GB file from there right after I posted that link, so I went ahead to check it and installed it on my linux box then ran it, just to check if I wasn't gone crazy.
But nah, turns out I'm sane. You just didn't even try. I even checked the link after typing the above and it's there, working and all.

>>38005943
You can check ryuugames, anon
I found Tenshin Ranman Happy Go Lucky and even the entire damn Penta Box there

>>38005583
>>38016885
How is Doop? Plot sounds interesting

>>38017152
I have no idea, I'm going to try it later. I installed it out of a rage boner.
>>38017044
Why would I? Like I posted before, I already have the pentabox downloaded from sukebei.

>>38016885
Keep in mind I'm living in a turd world shithole so torrenting close to 0 seeders takes ages for me. But hey, if you're willing to throw a bone could you set it up on anon files or somewhere?

Okay, finally I can get this over with.

For those who switched to W10, are there any VN's that are simply incompatible with the OS?

You liar, they only have the HD version of the original Tenshin Ranman on there. I was talking about the PC version of Happy Go Lucky they just released, the all-ages one with the extra routes.

>>38017225
>>38019966
i love how the pc version of happy go lucky is the only interesting part about the pentabox and yet the dumb chinks didn't include it

did you read this one because of sakurai and mareni?

>game has a brief prologue
>the events the prologue occur again in the main story like 30 minutes into the game
what was even the point

>>38003226
nice to hear that you liked it, i liked senshinkan a lot too
the parts you mentioned about how the protagonists being a step up from dies irae and how the SoL was a lot of fun but for me it felt like senshinkan was a lot more tamed in the emotional aspect compared to DI and KKK - not that senshinkan didnt have any, they just didnt hit the highs that the other two did

>>38022360
It's called retrospective storytelling, friend.

>>38022563
That's fine, but normally you do pull that for a scene that chronologically happens much later in the game. Not something that's practically already at the very beginning.

>>38022683
If you're talking about Sakuretto, it's completely fine there.

This theory was proven wrong decades ago.

>>38024138
Please, no one knows jack shit about if it's true or not. It's just guesswork as is most of the stuff involving space. It's simply something that can't be measured with our tools.

He went completely out for akikururu, didn't he.

I have no idea how you would describe what's going in there but at this point I'm only worried that it cannot keep up to the pace it started, which wasn't really a problem in the others.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLGsh_v_kDw

>>38024257
It's true that there are many unknowns about the universe, but there are also many things we do know with good certainty. It's not all just guesswork.

I'm relatively new, is there a website/resource that has script lengths for VNs in MBs? I'm thinking of reading Nukitashi 2 common route before Hentai Prison comes out, but it might be longer than I'm expecting and I can only read like 600 lines in an hour before my zoomer brain gets tired.

>>38017829
二重影 crashes during the animations without compatibility mode on, and even with compatibility mode on I couldn't for the life of me get the opening to play without crashing, so I had to skip it by mashing ESC when it came up. Aside from that it seems to work.

Finished Tenshi no Inai 12-gatsu before the end of the year.

It was a really nice game and the art and music are quite awesome for a 2003 title. I liked most of the routes aside of Maho and the protagonist had some funny dialogues here and there.

It's a very interesting drama and I liked the atmosphere. Also, Asuna is cute and best girl.

Right now, i'll probably go for Axanael, Tokyo Necro, Omega no Shikai (although slowly) and maybe the Final Complete version of Cross+Channel (I played the original some time ago and I want to replay it now that my Japanese is better)

I've never updated Windows. Not a single fucking byte has changed since yesterday.

If you run Windows 10, and haven't performed the 472-point ritual and sacrificed a goat, it'll get updated automatically.

>>38025335
I'm on Windows 7.

>>38025294
Like the other anon said if you're running Windows 10, it will magically do things by itself.

>>38025335
Look at the screenshot, idiot, that's win 7. You can tell by the window decorations.

>>38024756
Do you use non-standard DPI settings? Those are known to fuck up some game engines.

>>38025743
Does Windows 7 even have DPI scaling?

>>38025776
It does. And it's usually even more broken than Win10 one.
There are also font size settings which are known to cause issues with various software.

>>38021798
nah because it was one of the first vns i coomed to as a kid

>>38024666
By the way when did you play Asuna's route? Did you figure out something was up before you entered her route?

The process of going for 100% completion always feels like something that ruins the impact that the work had, since you're pretty much ripping its guts out and witnessing all of its weaknesses, which inevitably leads you to seeing it in a different light, but I just feel obliged to do it anyway.
That's why I prefer VNs without choices.

>>38028460
Can you really say you love a VN unless you love them at its weakest?

Does anyone have any version of https://vndb.org/v746 from 2008 onwards?

>>38028460
i agree, i tend to just do whatever is considered the true ending for a route if it has multiple endings
just knowing that there's a true ending would kill whatever impact any other ending would have for me

>>38024666
I would recommend for complete beginners at eroge, otherwise don't bother

Reading Zoku Satsuriku no Django as my first true untranslated eroge and while I'm getting filtered hard by The Butcher prose, it's pretty easy to follow. He really went and just took every single plot point from every spaghetti western ever and made a smoothie out of it.

>>38024756
Tried again today and now all three games work again. Only thing I've done is re-mount the image. No clue how that could affect the digital version or the previous games, but I guess I'll just have to keep it mounted.

>>38028460
Only true if you are reading for the "story" or the "plot".

>>38031039
Yeah that happens a lot. I guess it's a form of DRM.

Anyone know where I could download this in Japanese? All of the torrents on sukebei have almost no seeds

>>38038167
Bullshit. A game that recent and popular is well seeded.

>>38038195
>A game that recent and popular is well seeded.
?

>>38038254
There are three different torrents. I didn't say all of them were well seeded, but the 2DGF one is (often 2dgf's torrents have peers that don't show up on nyaa but do after you download the torrent).
Maybe it's your client? rtorrent is fucked for me on nyaa so I have to use a different client.

>>38038281
I tried two different clients yet I still only have 1-3 seeds, I can see the 7 seeds in the trackers but I can't access them all for some reason

>>38038346
Well, 3 seeds is plenty. I've waited days or weeks for a single seed to appear and successfully downloaded torrents, so don't complain about only having a couple.
Could be a port forwarding issue or something on your end, but certainly nothing worth begging about here.

>>38038371
>I've waited days or weeks for a single seed to appear and successfully downloaded torrents
Fuck that, I'm just going to delete it and find another vn

>>38038409
I'm sorry you have ADHD that's so bad you can't start a torrent a week ahead of time, or try some other torrents, or find a DDL.

>>38027027
I did Asuna's route last because she's my favorite. And yeah, I did notice something was up with her somehow.

>>38034691
The torrent in sukebei includes both english and japanese language options, you just need to update to 1.01 manually. No copy protection whatsoever. I would say that is the definitive version of the game, no capsule servant like the Vita release but all the h-scenes and Vita improvements.

Anyone have a download for 肢体を洗う? Ran out of denpa games and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to buy on DMM.

I'm starting to get tired of Kunado. Can someone spoil if the structure of the game is going to be A -> B -> solve heroine's problem -> climax -> resolution -> next heroine, or is there more to it? Doesn't help that the SoL dialogue makes me want to skim.

Hmm, today I'm feeling a bit like eternal suffering with a dash of existential dread

>>38051469
Those sprites look silly like they're dancing around. I take it that wasn't the actual intention.

>>38051589
I guess without context, animation and music I guess it could look like that.
First few hours akikuru spoilers.
Quantum accident rips through a town, destroying all "possibilities" of everything it touches, leaving the town itself looping the same day including interference/shadows of the previous inhabitants given no observers. Outsiders going there after the accident are presumably not affected.
At night a lot of the shadows are seen hurrying towards a shelter. It doesn't look like they had a lot of fun
Leaving out a lot including buildup but you probably get the idea. Granted, the eternal suffering and existential dread is more of a foreshadowed and previously touched upon thing so far.

How do you deal with those games that you left off over a year ago? I'm in the middle of a route but I don't remember everything, which annoys me, but if I start reading from zero then I'll get bored from reading everything again

>>38056214
>How do you deal with those games that you left off over a year ago
I eventually drop them.

>>38056214
i never completely forget anything
i remember the key brushstrokes of previous routes and what not and make an effort to never put a visual novel on pause in the middle of a route - only when i'm done with a route will I put something on pause
the only game that i fucked with this rule and still haven't finished is musicus, i'm 2 years out and i'm going to have to read it from the start

Are truly autistic people this pessimistic?

>>38058552
honestly, i'm not even sure what love actually feels like, so i often find myself doubting its existence and thinking that it has to either, depending on the case, be little more than a dressed up facade for regular horniness or some kind of a thing involving sunk costs for long term relationships

>>38058446
Who cares, I'm never going to be in a romantic relationship anyway.

that's 99% of all media in general. some aspects of relationships are going to be overemphasized compared to others. if you ever get together with someone you just have to keep an open mind, no media is ever going to prepare you for a real person, and that person is usually not going to be the way you expect them to be

Holy shit, Im hyped.

Currently going through Omega no Shikai and wow, what is this game even? Even though i'm getting filtered by the insane writing style and weird vocabulary, it's still captivating and it grabs your attention from the get-go.

I think anyone in here should give it a try, if just for how experimental it is. I don't know what the plot is about yet, but the way it's setting up everything is absolutely awesome (This is from the beginning of Aki Kaketa Shiki no Ai, the second game)

Crap, thread's on its last legs. I'll put in my request when someone makes a new one.
