3 hours into silent hill f and it already clears the past 2 decades of silent hill games, I'm glad

Skimmed through the Silent Hill f mini soundtrack from the digital deluxe edition to see if any dai/xaki songs were included, and yep, Shichibi no Tasogare is the most dai song ever lol, peak.

Huh, checked the Cartagra Rebirth Switch EN screenshot and it matches up 1:1 with MangaGamer's TL of the original VN. Could just coincidentally be translated exactly the same, but maybe Prototype's reusing the TL and translating only the new content? Need more lines to confirm.

Only 1 more episode of the Summer Pockets anime left, I'm not ready for it to be over, hope we get Reflection Blue OVAs announced at the end...

The Switch version of Innocent Grey visual novel Cartagra will release in English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese on December 25. The game includes new event CGs drawn by Sugina Miki. The LE includes a novel that continues after the Sacrament epilogue. www.gamer.ne.jp/news/2025092...

Nakazawa's made a new blog post for the first time in 8 years, with his thoughts on people's thoughts on Shuten Order. It's a good read, also doesn't have any spoilers. Though he does mention writing a post with behind the scenes spoiler thoughts, that's exciting blog.livedoor.jp/ta5d/archive...

Prototype's announcing a new title at TGS next week, wonder what it will be. www.prot.co.jp/news/2025/tg...

[Official TL] kawaiinium announces Ren'ai 0 Kilometer The first big hit by ASa Project, originally released in 2011 The game will be available on Steam on November 20

Bought a copy of the Shuten Order Special Collection Box!

!!NEW VIDEO!! This time I cover Chunsoft’s Sound Novel franchise, a hugely important series in the history of Japanese video games that served as the progenitor to the visual novel genre and was a source of inspiration for all kinds of developers. WATCH - www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BT...

Skimmed through all the script comments for Shuten Order, and I really appreciate how Nakazawa explains plot points and gives extra world building in the comments. Doubt these were meant to be accessible, but glad they are, as there's quite a few neat tidbits.

[Fan TL] Tsui no Sora is out One of the "Three Great Denpa Games" alongside Sayonara o Oshiete and Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou. It later served as the basis for Subarashiki Hibi A Ren'Py port of the original 1999 game

With Shuten Order done, I'll get back on the Silent Hill grind with Shattered Memories. Paid £70 to play this physically on the Wii, not sure if it will be worth it.

Fate/Strange Fake will start broadcast on January 3, 2026.

Ok it's just another Ai No Sleep deal, Kodaka's barely involved

They really announced danganronpa 2 2 a week after shuten order came out I hope people still remember shuten order exists and is out...

danganronpa 2 remake? why...

Need the Shuten Order OST to be released ASAP, it has some excellent songs. Also this made me realise the Hundred Line OST still isn't out? Why is that taking so long, I'd have expected at least a physical album to be out, even if it's not on streaming.

Barely did anything but read Shuten Order this weekend for 22 hours. It's pretty good so far, Science route especially was amazing.

[Official TL] Restoration Patch for Summer Pockets Reflection Blue is out This free patch restores the original CGs and scenario that were altered in the Steam release of Key's latest full price game

Wonder if the anime Nakazawa Takumi mentioned 7 years ago is still going to happen. Probably not at this point, at least we've got Shuten Order.

One of the reviews for Shuten Order has the list of writers. Turns out when they announced it had 3 writers, they actually meant 7. New ones are: Koizumi Youichirou​ (100 Line, etc) Oyama Kyouhei (100 Line, etc) Mochida Yasuyuki (code_18, etc) Uryu Sei (Couple LNs)

Shuten order reviews are out, but they seem pretty all over the place, maybe it'll be a kamige idk.

Shuten Order famitsu review score is out, 34/40. (typical caveat of famitsu scores are always a bit random)

In the depths of VNDB editing and huh, Interweave is assisting with Heaven Burns Red's localization now.

I'm now up to 400 VNs finished & 6000 hours of reading logged on VNDB. That's an average of 2 hours a day, every day, for the 8.5 years I've been reading VNs. Very sane numbers

MAGES.' horror series Corpse Party returns in the form of a tetralogy pack—four games in one package, all in English later this year on Nintendo Switch via publisher @xseedgames.bsky.social. Read more: www.kirikiribasara.com/2025/08/25/c...

Well LCC Double Pack's going to be MAGES November release, wonder if they'll release Corpse Party II in December or if it'll get delayed again. (steins;gate reboot is 100% getting delayed to next year)

Why is the LCC double pack download edition more expensive than the one for C;HN/C:C?

It's a limited edition, with even more love inside.

getting chaos;head noah switch flashbacks, oh no

funny that mangagamer recognises there's a massive umineko fanbase and is doing merch with the beato fumo and the music box. yet 6 years on we still don't have saku in english officially (or tsubasa/hane)

Last, but not least, announcement #4: Umineko - When They Cry Music Box A limited edition #Umineko: When They Cry music box designed with great care under the supervision of Ryukishi07 and zts featuring the fan-favorite song worldendominator! Pre-order now: www.mangagamer.com/r18/detail.p...

There's been a flurry of info from Key about Loopers Plus, Kousai Toshi, and Anemoi, but no mention of the 3rd/4th Prima Doll VNs. Wonder how those are getting on, thought they might go for a yearly release schedule for them, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Didn't notice when I initially checked but all the minori console ports that Entergram did are part of the whole delisting thing, and they're being transferred to minori. But I thought minori was a dead company, how can they be the new publishers...

Anemoi has 2 assistant writers, Hino Renka & Itsuki, so 6 writers total.

anemoi will be available in English on Steam anemoi is the next full price game from the team behind Summer Pockets Release date TBA. The Japanese version is coming out on January 30

Thinking about the Steampunk series again, Sakurai's magnum opus. Been a whole decade since Hisei no Vulthoom was announced, still not out. People love to bring up Nasu doing nothing but FGO, but Sakurai is equally guilty, hope one day she comes back to this series.
