Been reading Sanoba Witch for a week or so now. Been pretty good so far, but worse than Dracu Riot was. Main issue is that the supernatural aspect, seems like it exists more for the purpose of some metaphor rather than a real interesting part of the world like in Dracu Riot. Other than that it has been pretty fun so far, Meguru is great probably going to do her route first.

I won't say their games are masterpieces or anything, but they have this unique feel that other eroge company games don't have. They make mostly youth stories with fantasy elements that gets introduced at the true route, which some don't like and call it bullshit writing.

One thing they really deserve the praise for are their main heroines, they are always great and worth going all the bad stuff just to do their routes.

Finished Symphonic Rain.

Thanks anons for encouraging me to continue without skipping, I liked it a lot. I thought the strongest element of each route was the melancholy, and I actually enjoyed the story less when the protagonist got over indecision. For the most part that would be forgivable, but it felt rushed at times. I felt that Torta good end seemed out of character because she spent years racked with guilt, but then suddenly has the maturity to face Chris just because grandma stopped her at the door. That decision point should have been a choice for Torta, not for me, and it makes the bad end seem more "true" than the good end.
It was pretty well done in regards to having the puzzle pieces fit in place at the end, although I wish they had gone a little farther. It is wasted potential that there is no way of seeing Fal or Rise ends from Torta's perspective. Fal end, there could be more description about how she was deceitful, and there weren't any interactions shown between Fal and Arsino. I know he gets screwed over no matter what, but a little text about his male partner or how Fal stands him up after the performance would have been nice.

I guess I still have some questions left over though, if anyone who read more finely has any kind of answer.
In Rise end, when Torta says これは贖罪のつもり?, is she referring to how Chris couldn't be by Arietta's side? It seems so bitter, especially if Chris still doesn't remember the accident.
When Chris feels the raindrop at the food stand, is that nothing more than a hint that there actually is no rain?

Any thoughts on さくらのうた? Specifically, how does it compare to suba? I found suba only to be alright, and at times felt like a bit of a chore due to repetition. The in your face philosophy could be perhaps be interesting for a Japanese, but felt obnoxious at times for me personally.
Based on what I could gather it seems さくら is less of that and the "life questions" derive more from the characters and story-telling.

>>20502791
I actually found it pretty tiresome for the exact reasons you describe, the in-your-face philosophy felt a lot more forced and unnatural than it was in Subahibi, which at least had an excuse for being a hivemind. But even some random schmuck on the street in SakuUta can start quoting Wittgenstein like they have it tattooed on the back on their hand. The interactions are just totally unbelievable and lacking in any sense of organic writing, not to mention they also feel quite homogeneous. And I say this as someone whose other big hobby is philosophy -- no one, not even the snobbiest philosophy major out there, could probably get through SakuUta without wincing at at least a few of the conversations. It got so bad that at one point I started considering whether or not SCA-DI was being this obnoxious about it on purpose to mock the psuedo-intellectuals that flock to this kind of drivel. Quotes and references are all fine and good, but only when appropriate in their context, which SakuUta is lacking a great majority of the time.

Disagreed, I felt Yuki was at mary sue levels of bullshit in Golden Hour.

It's not about the pov really, although that's definitely nice in some positions. I mostly prefer how they light H - it has that incandescent lightbulb glow look to it, making it appear far more seedy compared to the fluorescent spotlight you usually see shining on the couple during H.

Also, the pseudo-animation they use during H scenes by alternating CGs back and forth (see pic) is also a nice touch. It kinda bothers me nowadays when the HCG shows the MC's dick is only barely inside and it never moves from that position before he cums, it makes it seem like the guy gets off from just sitting still and hearing the girl's voice for 10 minutes. The pseudo-animted style the More brands use is really great at this, because it can match the pace of the scene - starts off slow, with maybe the CG alternating every 2-4 clicks, but by the end it will have sped up a lot. These little touches are nice and really make their H stand out a lot imo.

The thing is, all but one(1) game I tried from that area were quite deservedly that low.

And it forced you to play it one route. I'll never forget the easy mode final boss of that route, where every attack stuns you for literally 5 secs. Good easy mode where you die in one hit, because you never recover. Yep. Good easy mode.

Then you're going to be really disappointed because it is. The main mystery in C;C isn't very good and the game spends the vast majority of its time with main characters acting all horrified at the "impossible grotesque murders" and slowly finding out the setting related stuff again that are all painfully obvious to anyone who played the first game. As a result even the horror atmosphere building simply doesn't work.

There's some half-decent parts in the later parts of the game, but overall it's the textbook definition of "we want to appeal to both old and new fans" kind of sequel. Playing it really safe in all regards.

Mori Dreamer manages to keep the atmosphere till the very end. Well, if you choose the right ending that is, otherwise you may get a random moege route. And that's because its "super powers" are actually fairly tame. Mostly working in the "dreams" and even there it's just a "did it work or not" thing, no silly chuuni battles. In the real world on the other hand, every "battle" is Resident Evil 1 style. And there's not a whole lot anyway.

It works. Better than C;C for sure. The characters are a lot less interesting though, which is one of the bigger issues Kure has. He writes good insane girls though. Waiting for his next game hopefully starring a full cast of insane ones for the main heroines.
Remember to wait with eating humans until the human is really dead. Wouldn't want to commit some kinda form of assisted murder or whatever. But don't wait too long. Then it won't taste as well. It's like with steak, it just needs just the right amount of time. *eating sounds*

Only a side-character. She is very good though. I generally like how Kure writes most villains. A lot of writers give villains backgrounds to redeem them. Kure doesn't. He does it to explain how this shit came to be. It's not to forgive, it's to understand. And this character fits right in. She didn't get born insane. She had to get insane.

Most of the insane characters of Kure aren't really openly insane anyway. It may take a while till you realize it, as "just a little bit of a weirdo" is hardly enough to call a character insane. And even once you get it revealed it's not your overacted "weird laugh" insanity or whatever. The characters just do something. Something you may have suspected all along. And they do it without thinking that it's weird. You could call it a sickness. Something that could be a thing in reality as well. Something where they simply need help. Not just something that's supposed to be "cool". A reason why I like his villains, which tend to be the same kind of insane as well, female or not.

Mori Dreamers simply has the issue, that it takes a lot of time with fairly random side-stories after the great opening. Tokihate was overall way shorter and as such was a better experience overall. The high peaks of Mori Dreamers may however be better. Dreamers 2 is a lot more of a mixed bag, as it features my least favorite Kure villain, but also one of my favorite ones. I just hope he never goes back to moege. I gave Princess Evangile a chance, but holy crap no. The villain in that was also really fucking awful to the point I started to believe moege have some shitty guidelines on how to write villains: Has to be absolutely bad and in the wrong without a doubt so that the player/protag is definitely right. Also has to be an ass. I've seen this type of villain in a LOT of moege. And they never make sense. How can such unreasonable people get to be school chairmen and whatnot? They behave like raging 5 year olds that somehow got a lot of power at their hands. Oh well.

Can't blame people from wanting to ignore Amazing Grace. It has the typical "awful moege" beginning, and it's even having an amnesia protag. Amnesia in general is to 99% awful and usually just a cheap and weak excuse to hide things from the player or to have an easy self-insert. Even fairly popular games suffer tremendously from it (Baldr Sky Dive, Root Double...), so it does work for the masses, but still doesn't make it less cheap.

Root Double was especially dumb. Protag is 30+. Some kinda chief of rescue operations or whatever, experienced and so on. That's obviously bad for self-inserting. So AMNESIA. Now he behaves like a 16yo idiot, doesn't know anything and so on. Perfect for the audience. But he still gets taken everywhere dangerous, because he has the body of a veteran. Not like that makes sense, as he quickly demonstrates how he knows nothing about what he'd need to do to not just fuck up and make everything harder.
It's so fucking bad. And it usually goes like this idea. Baldr Sky Dive isn't different for example. It just adds a healthy dose of "I didn't tell you because I thought you couldn't take it..".

Well that was cute as hell. Best end is unfortunately where she ends up in a lesbian relationship with her friend from the photography store. Both because she's stuck a girl forever in this route and because the end is a sweet yuri end. Unfortunate because I just didn't like the photography shop girl. I wish that end could have been reserved for the childhood friend route but that was the one where she undoes the effect of the Ai Mai Mist and returns to being a boy again. A shame.

I know exactly how you feel, I've been steadily playing through the writer's other games and similar games in the same genre and while there's other good stuff out there nothing even comes close to Ai Mai Mist. I just reread parts from it periodically and it's completely amazing every time.

I can appreciate your issues with Hikari though, she doesn't have quite the same level of intricate development of her relationship with Ikumi the way Mana does, I think it's just that Mana and Ikumi are such a perfect match for each other so their romance is just the absolute cutest thing ever. But it is thematically appropriate to have Mana's ending be that, if you recall the first chapter of the game with Mana's strong feelings for her Onii-chan, it's the route where he has an actual significant reason to return and fulfil Mana's childhood dreams. Obviously yuri Mana/Ikumi is extremely cute and wonderful so I can see why you'd want it to end like that but this is really great too in it's own way.

Look forward to the last route anyway, you've probably realised this by now but every route is completely unique and special in its own way, the game never stops delivering right till the very end.

I'm pretty certain the writer is a girl (no clues in their name though). Mostly because of the route she ends up with her old roommate. He's such an asshole, the kind of guy girls really like for some reason. Also the details that go in to things like her period and first tampon or going to the bathroom as a girl. As a dude I never would have thought of details for that shit.

To be quite honest though I'm kind of lying. The bad end where she ends up a year later still a girl, can't change back, and she runs into 'the prince of the school' and her heart skips a beat and you know the two are going to hook up because by then she's the school idol. I squealed like a 14 year old Japanese schoolgirl. If only that got a real route.

I have no interest in ever being a girl but I get every gender change game I can. I just love reading them. Thirua Panic is not going well, because she's so feminine at the start there's no different before and after her change. I finally dropped it for the time being but I pick at Ai Mai Mist, I've been going through it for over a year now. It's just that every route I finish I don't feel a need to keep going because I'm satisfied.

Oh and with Mana, my only issue is that I never want him to ever go back to being a boy ever. Ever. It's why Kuru Kuru Coeur is such a waste of space.

By the way, the greatest gender change game of all time OF ALL TIME is the missed opportunity at the bad end of Yamitsuki
https://vndb.org/v778
The one where he ends up forced to trap with the rich girl (I can't recall who she was) because she's afraid of men. In the bad end she talks about taking him to parties to introduce him to the wealthy boys that will court him.

If she forced gender changed him for that ending. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I want to read that one. That's the greatest gender change game we never got.

She certainly was rich enough you could have just had some DNA swapping excuse plot out of it. Make the entire game about forcing him to trap because she's afraid of boys, waking up one day forced gender changed, then as the childhood friend of a wealthy girl introducing her to the rich boys she's expected to marry.

God, it writes itself.

This year was a year of disappointments for me. Several games I looked forward to at least somewhat ended up being just bad. And not just a little bad either.

There was only one game I could consider having given me a somewhat lasting impression, and that Hitotsuba, even though or perhaps precisely because I only played one route that I quite enjoyed. I really like the whole "flying" stuff, and while it definitely could've been more, what I got wasn't bad at all. That's something. Though the beginning has some really dumb scene(s). Also props for the route choice. You better remember more than just the boobs of the girls. (or chicken out and use a walkthrough)

I just can't take heroines seriously when they try to act all philosophical and deep in a nukige, like how Saya was in 95% of Graffiti. Yeah, there was a couple of touching scenes, but Saya reminded me a lot of Yuki from Golden Hour: too damn ambiguous/mysterious.

Akemi being the 'normal girl' was actually a plus for me. I don't read puremore nukige for plot, just the excellent H. As for Nana, well, she was pitiful. Another heroine with a couple of touching scenes but overall Nana was the punching bag.

Absolutely great taste anon. Saya is my favorite heroine of 2018.

I loved how fucking moody she is. She says she hates sex but allow the MC to have sex with her, she says why people have sex besides having babies and still enjoys it, and when you start fake dating her, she acts like your real girlfriend and become jealous of all the other heroines and become aggressive against them. She even tease the MC for having sex with other girls beside her.

Also for everyone who enjoys More brands games or nukige or just the H scene and the art, I really recommend reading シャムロックの花言葉.

One of the most underrated 2018 eroge titles for me. You play with point of view of 4 heroines who are close friends but went to different high schools and each have their own life problems. But this games is not your typical dark nukige where the heroines becomes sex slaves or drug addict or something. Everything will be clear in the true end after finishing the 4 heroines point of view with experiancing all kind of misfortune. The best part for me was actually the fantasy elements and how it was used in a way that don't effect the modern day life. There is something really special about the heroine in the middle too.

This game is good, go read it.

I hope NIKO's writer has improved since Golden Hour. Setting looks like it'll be ripe for romance drama, I just hope there isn't supernatural bullshit again.

As for Sugar*Style it looks promising. I wonder about the protagonist roles though, four types with four heroines implies you'll need a certain background to get a certain heroine. I'd like for it to be more complex like each background being viable for each heroine with different changes based on their compatibility but such a thing is probably beyond Smee's ability.

Finished Amazing Grace, overall it was pretty enjoyable, especially the. Heroines were all really likeable and the twists were cool, one in particular really stands out.
The best part however was Sakura and how you can finish the game while treating her as the main heroine, wrapping up the whole plot and even getting credits. She also pretty much gets THE main heroine confession, a really tearful one while amazing grace plays. The fact that this is a choice makes me like the game more.
