One of the things I’ve learned in making my own visual novel is that scope can very easily blow out. Every new scene, character, idea, and story beat that you add in means more backgrounds, CGs, character costumes and music. Then it all becomes very expensive. And so, in most…
Read MoreJust yesterday I reviewed Demon Sword Incubus. This is a truly terrible “erotic” game that needed to remove the one “quality” it had going for it so it could have a console release. The Nintendo Switch port of Sakura Dungeon has also been released this past week, and while it…
Read MoreMay the great vocaloids above bless D3 Publisher for eternity. Without this company and its love of publishing B-grade aesthetics, we wouldn’t have the likes of Onechanbara, School Girl/Zombie Hunter and Earth Defence Force and the games industry would be a much darker place. I mean this quite sincerely, too.…
Read MoreFrom exaggerated physics and revealing outfits to intimate interactions and suggestive themes, these games push the boundaries of conventional gaming norms without actually slipping into the realm of adult gaming. When you play these, brace yourselves for a journey through provocative narratives, over-the-top character designs, and gameplay mechanics that prioritise…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It looks like EastAsiaSoft is going to kick off 2022 in much the same way it played 2021; where there’s a good dosing of fan service available, they’ll roll with it. Seven Pirates H is an Idea Factory game, with EastAsiaSoft partnering with the publisher to…
Read MoreWe love fan service! It’s fun, it’s entertaining, and we’d be lying if we said it wasn’t aesthetically pleasing. Not all fan service is created equal, though, so we like to give the best examples of this… genre… a nod as part of our awards. This year we’ve got four…
Read MoreIt’s that time of year again, everyone, where we celebrate the best games of the year. Despite being a heavily disrupted year thanks to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, 2021 produced some incredible games, almost from day one, and as a result, our awards this year has the most variety…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Danganronpa has always had a fanservicey edge, but Danganronpa Ultimate Summer Camp, which releases on Nintendo Switch as part of the Danganronpa Decadence collection, really ramps things up to 11 and beyond. In this video, we give you a good look at the board game that…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I really should give this game a 5/5 score and be done with it. After all, it checks off just about everything I like. It has a vampire (sorry: half-vampire or dhampir, lore nerds) that leans heavily into the sexual motif in vampire tradition. It has…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. The Neptunia and Senran Kagura cross-over is actually one of the best-playing games in the series, and the developer, Tamsoft, has absolutely nailed both properties in this fan service-em-up. But it does raise the question: both properties are getting very long in the tooth, and perhaps…
