Review by Matt S. Mirror, a match-3 hentai game on PC, had one thing going for it; it was smutty, and it therefore had a point. Let’s face it, if you are going to enjoy the game, mundane concerns such as a halfway decent narrative or localisation aren’t important. Neither…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Visual novel developers often do like to subvert expectations. Unlike a straight-up novel, the visual novel medium allows for alternative routes and endings, and when you’ve got the option to write “bad” endings, the temptation to use them to ruin everything players had expected to get…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Dead or Alive 6 just got the sexiest DLC drop yet. Koei Tecmo decided to deliver a Christmas present, in the form of the most ridiculously skimpy Christmas-themed “swimwear” costumes yet. There’s also a new character to play with, in Rachel, and she’s great (and a…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. There’s plenty to talk about in this latest Dead or Alive 6 update! Since the last video I did there have been two new sets of costumes dropped – one is a new set of swimsuits, and the other is sporty gym wear. Both are very…

Given that I reviewed the original Mary Skelter: Nightmares, it’s actually difficult to find new things to say about Mary Skelter 2, above and beyond what I’ve already written. The reality is that while the two titles tell different stories, thematically, they tread the exact same…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Yu-No: A Girl With A Very Long And Silly Subtitle is much better experience than its nonsense name. This is seminal visual novel that went a long way to establish the genre as we know it today, and inspire so many of the other big names…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Visual novels that are deeply rooted in some kind of bittersweet nostalgia are dime a dozen. Japanese culture itself is a deeply nostalgic one (to this day the country struggles to resolve its respect for tradition with its love of progress), and there’s an abiding fixation…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. You’ve got to hand it to the development team behind Dead or School. Despite the Indiegogo campaign to fund the game failing spectacularly back in 2016, the small team has persevered and managed to get the thing over the line. It’s not bad, either. Dead or…
