June 2016 Eroge Releases

Just a light month of fandiscs and other low-priced games, along with way too many nukige. Palette Qualia’s Otome＊Domain welcomes you to the ojou-sama world as a trap, except all the ojou-samas are pretty useless. Enjoy a heartwarming moment in calme’s KARAKARA or raise your own slime girl in SofthouseChara’s Slime Musume no Sodatekata.

Useless month.

Precious Jewels

Frontwing is one of the prominent eroge companies entering the Western market. Not only are they working on Corona Blossom, but they are also releasing a romance simulation/puzzle game Purino Party featuring the heroines from Pure Girl and Innocent Girl. It’ll be on Steam this June. But both Sora and Hinako are no longer imoutos!? Share the imoutos with us too!

The first chara poll for Clochette’s upcoming title Haruru Minamo ni! runs until June 27th. Miori-chan gets my vote.

key’s HD edition of Planetarian is set for July 29th, while Frontwing’s multi-lingual Corona Blossom is scheduled for August 26th.

The “GWAVE 2015 2nd Colors” CD, featuring 16 OPs from Hatsumira to Fairytale Requiem, will be out on July 29th. It is priced at ￥3000, and the limited edition with tapestry sells for ￥5500.

Dakimakuras are available for Sakuranomori‘s Kureha and Love2Quad‘s Honoka.

Happy birthday Sana! Chie, Chieri and Tina’s birthdays were all this week as well! Congratulations!

Trying to play TOS and Deresute event at the same time doesn’t leave much time for much else… >_> I should really set aside time for other stuff…

Welcome Home

Lovebitch’s second title Imouto Tokku ~Imouto to Kekkon Dekiru Ii Jidai ni Narimashita~ features a world where marrying your imouto is legal. Not that legality has stopped any onii-chan. It is planned for July 15th. I do fancy the youngest imouto, Eri-chan.

The following titles have been delayed:

Bokura no Sekai ni Shukufuku o. – August 26th
Giniro, Haruka – August 26th

CharatWeb has a dakimakura coming out for Rewrite‘s Kotori and Shizuru.

Sana is here with me now ^^ Also, Rorolog has arrived, although I haven’t had time to play it yet since I’m still grinding away at TOS. I’ve reached the cap of level 280 and trying out Earth Tower, but I’ve also started up my dievdirbys alt while working on my priest at the same time. Support for life!

I plan to wrap up the June post by the end of the upcoming week. There’s not many games at all.

May 2016 Eroge Releases

It must suck to be a childhood friend. Either you go missing like in Lass’s Liber_7: Eigou no Owari o Matsu Kimi e or you get murdered like in MOONSTONE’s Sakuranomori†Dreamers. Fortunately, you can escape reality by jumping into the virtual worlds of Heart’s Natsuiro Kokoro Log or mirai’s Hanahime＊Absolute!. Last but not least, Lump of Sugar’s Tayutama2 -you’re the only one- lets you reacquaint yourself with the Tayutai. Maybe you’ll pick up one as a bride!?

Great month in terms of amount of games to write about. Terrible month in terms of games worth playing. Though on the bright side months like these do help us make some progress on backlogs, which is always a nice feeling. It is nice to see some companies trying to spice up the childhood friend type heroines though, now I can’t wait till they start following the trend with those little sisters.
