Romance simulator LoveR Kiss: Endless Memories announced

Does a five-year-old game really need updating? Dragami Games sure seems to think so: it has announced LoveR Kiss: Endless Memories, a “significantly enhanced” version of the 2020 game LoveR Kiss. This version will launch in Japan for PC and Nintendo Switch this November; while there is no Western release, the Japanese version will support the English language.…

I love game remake inception: remakes of remakes of remakes (and so on). That’s what is happening here with D.C. ~Da Capo~ Re:tune. It is a full remake of the 2002 remake of visual novel D.C. ~Da Capo~. Today, a launch date of late October was announced for this newest…

Supernatural otome visual novel 9 R.I.P. will launch in the West this October

July 16, 2024
Idea Factory International/News

9 R.I.P. falls into the category of a supernatural horror otome visual novel. (This is why I have dubbed it a horrom: horror-romance.) Misa Isshiki is struggling under the weight of life’s burdens. She’s heard rumours of prowling ghosts and people disappearing, which she finds strange and a bit scary.…

The key art for The Crush House.

Welcome to The Crush House, a darkly comic reality TV thirst-person shooter launching for PC this year

April 5, 2024
Devolver Digital/News

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: I have developed what might be described as an unhealthy obsession with certain reality TV shows. 1999 was integral when it comes to some of the shows that I’m still watching: it was the year Big Brother was created, and The Real World and…

Otome visual novel Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling will launch in the West for Nintendo Switch this May

March 29, 2024
Idea Factory International/News

Mere days ago, I was whining about how a new trailer for Cupid Parasite: Sweet and Spicy Darling didn’t quite make up for the lack of a known release date. Someone somewhere must have heard my cries, because today Idea Factory International announced the game’s release date. It also dropped…

Japanese romance visual novel Memories Off launched for PlayStation in 1999, spawning an entire series that goes by the same name.

Review: Perfect Gold: The Alchemy Of Happiness (Nintendo Switch)

July 1, 2022
Nintendo Switch/Reviews/visual novel

Perfect Gold: The Alchemy Of Happiness highlights just how mundane love and romance can be. I don’t mean that in a negative sense, though. Far too often in the arts romance, as a subject, either deviates toward smutty eroticism or overly sentimental tear-jerking. There’s nothing inherently wrong with either of…
