Kiss to Maou to Darjeeling Review

Sarasa has finally arrived and I for one could not be happier! That is until I actually played the game. Not to say Kiss to Maou to Darjeeling (Dear god that is a long name, KissMaou it is from now on) is a terrible game but on the whole it simply lacks the sophistication a game of this type should have, and we have come to expect. Regardless of the disappointment I felt after playing there are still a few things to like about the game.

Natsu no Ame Review

OK! So after an extended absence I have returned to review Natsu no Ame. Amazing as it is that I have actually finished a new game, I was helped by the type of game Natsu no Ame is. To be perfectly honest While the game was certainly not the most amazing eroge I have ever played, there does not seem to be much to gripe about either. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent playing through this game, causing me to often have trouble putting it down for other important things… such as sleep.

Heliotrope Review

Well I am finally getting around to this post. I have finished Heliotrope five days ago but to be perfectly honest I was really unsure just how I felt about this game. In the end I feel the game disappointed me partially from my own expectations and partially because well… it’s a bad game. Being the first game from a company part of me wants to say they made a good effort but really these days there is no reason for a first game not to be at least average. Not to say it was entirely horrible, there are much worse games out there.

Bokuraku Review

Ok, so here I am (Zen) for my first real post. I know its late, I know that at this point it is pretty useless to even post this. Mostly this is something of a proof of concept. I will more or less start for real from the april lineup since I have some time to prepare. Anyway primarily working on the layout and such so lemme know what you think of it so I can change it as needed.

So anyway I have had Bokuraku (Boku no Te no Naka no Rakuen)  sitting there and had planned to play it after cleaning up my backlog a bit. However since I will be writing up such reviews in the future I figured I had better get started.
