Minotaur Visual Novel More than Pretty Graphics Available Now
December 18th, 2016 Carl Williams
When you think of visual novels, you probably think of dating sims with very limited actions and storylines. That is most definitely not what Minotaur is about. This release is more of a kindred spirit to the classic Snatcher by Konami than it is a strict visual novel. There is an actual honest-to-goodness adventure engine […]

Falconers Moonlight New Visual Novel for Windows
November 6th, 2016 Carl Williams
Visual novels never really took off in the United States. There could be many reasons for this but I like to think it boils down to how they are presented. While in Japan, gamers are more open to playing various types of games, that is not always the case in North America. Also, in Japan, […]

Preview – Angels and Demigods Visual Novel on Kickstarter
November 5th, 2016 Carl Williams
Visual novels are my guilty pleasure. In my younger days, I scoffed at these types of games. I was a late fan to the likes of Cobra and Snatcher on the Sega CD. That is why when I see a really good visual novel come along, I feel compelled to let others know about it. […]

Beholder Lets Players Live George Orwell’s 1984
November 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams
In 1984 by George Orwell things were rather bleak for the populace. Specifically Winston Smith, one of those people that are just trying to survive day to day life. Anyone that has not read 1984 should do so at their earliest convenience. Beholder is basically 1984 in game form and you are not the good […]

New Psychological Horror Mobile Game, Sara is Missing, Available Now
October 30th, 2016 Carl Williams
Everyone knows about “found footage” horror movies such as the Blair Witch. That is a genre that goes back to the early days of video cameras being cheap enough for the average person to buy them. Sara is Missing brings that idea to the modern age in a “found cell phone” game that is genuinely […]

Alkonah Review Using GPD XD Android Device
September 30th, 2016 Carl Williams
3D adventure games on Google Play, which are not point and click affairs, are rare. Alkonah is one such 3D adventure that gives you a world to explore to your heart’s content. The biggest change that you will realize when playing Alkonah is there is no combat to speak of, at least none I discovered […]

Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters Daybreak: Special Gigs Brings Playstation 4 PS3 and PS Vita Visual Novel
August 28th, 2016 Carl Williams
Visual novels are not known to be hot sellers for game publishers in North America. This is sad news as some of these digital comics can be quite a bit of fun to just relax and enjoy. We had one really investing release in Snatcher for the Sega CD back in the 1990’s and it […]
