Kaeru Batake de Tsukamaete Portable – Didn’t click with me

Kaeru Batake de Tsukamaete is an otome game about a girl and a bunch of her schoolmates (all bishies) who defile a shrine on their school grounds and are cursed so they turn into frogs. A mysterious three-tailed cat turns them back to normal, but under one condition: that they all work together to purify the land. To help them bond and work together more effectively, the cat also pulls a few strings so girl + 5 bishies end up living together in one hostel. Do please go on, this is most interesting

Done with Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Otsu

ore ni hatarake aldebaranSome games you finish, other games you just shrug and go “I guess that’s enough.” I’m not sure Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Otsu even has a proper endgame even if I wanted to finish it. All you can do is unlock all the dungeons and kill all the monsters and that’s the end of that. If you don’t have the stamina to go that far then you pick a good stopping place and stop.

Hanayaka Nari Waga Ichizoku Kinema Mosaic review

I wasn’t too happy with Hanayaka Nari Waga Ichizoku Kinema Mosaic when I did my first route, but I said I would do a few more routes and give my final thoughts, so here we are as promised.

First I do have to eat a tiny bit of crow and admit that the new work requirements aren’t as onerous as I’d initially thought. You do get fired if you don’t help enough before a big event, but if you listen carefully to the dates Chitomi gives at the start of the month and time your helping so it falls exactly on the 7 days before the event (e.g. if the event is on the 9th then you must help from the 2nd to the 8th) you’ll have no problem passing that part of the evaluation. All those frustrating game overs I had were due to me not reading the instructions correctly. My bad. Apologies to the game for docking it points due to my own laziness.

Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Otsu screenshots

ore ni hatarakke start screenOre ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo (“I’m not going to work just because you tell me to”) is a 2012 online-only PSP adventurer management sim made by e-smile. It did well enough that it was remade asĀ Ore ni Hatarakette Iwaretemo Otsu in 2013 and then ported to PSVITA, iOS and Android in 2014. Just because a game gets ported doesn’t always mean it’s good, but Ore ni Hatarake is one of the good ones, so chances are either the original or the upcoming sequel will get localized someday. Wishful thinking? I sure hope not. Do please go on, this is most interesting

Why I put Izuna 2 on hold

izuna 2 coverI got quite far into the main story, I think. My save file reads Mugen City, Izuna level 38. However I put the game on hold a few days ago for a few simple, largely personal reasons.

Reason 1 – My roguelike itch had already been scratched by Dungeon of Windaria right before I started Izuna 2. That’s why I say I2 is only on hold, not dropped, because even though I really really don’t feel like playing it now, I’m sure in another 3 or 4 months I’ll start feeling like a roguelike again and then maybe I’ll go back to it. Maybe. If something doesn’t cut in on it first. Do please go on, this is most interesting
