Neighbor & Lingering Memories Review

Title: Rinjin -Neighbor-
Original title: 隣人 -Neighbor-
Release date: 2008-11-21 (original)
2018-09-29 (remake)
English release date: 2018-09-29 (remake)
Developer: Rosalia (original)
Otusun Land (remake)
English publisher: Otusun Land (remake)

"Neighbor" is a short horror visual novel that came to the Western shores due to a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Otusun Land wanted to remake an old classic Japanese VN and they were really successful in their endeavour, earning more then twice the amount asked on KS. Of course, some people could contest the original VN being described as "classic", as no one had heard of that game before the campaign, which is not what a classic is. But anyway, let's look at the recently released remake and see if it can truly be called a modern horror classic.

Church of Nightmare Review

Title: Church of Nightmare
Release date: 2017-09-01
English release date: 2018-05-05
Developer: akuoti
Publisher: Rand

I hope everyone remembers the "Village of Nightmare" games? I have previously reviewed both the two main entries in the series and the western homage. I have always had a soft spot for those games, as their theme of sexual corruption, coupled with a dash of gender-bending really appealed to me. I was quite surprised to find out that there exists a short side game by the same creators, named "Church of Nightmare" and that it has also been stealthily translated into English by the translator of the second game with very few people noticing it.

Netorare Otoko no Ko Review

Title: Netorare Otoko no Ko ~Ore no Osananajimi no Mujaki na Otoko no Ko ga Masaka Sobou na Taiiku Kyoushi ni Yowami o Nigirarete Choukyou Sarete Itsu no Ma ni ka Kairaku ni Oborete Aheahe Double Peace de Video Satsuei Sarete Yorokondeita Da Nante!!~
Original title: 寝取られ男の娘 ~俺の幼馴染みの無邪気な彼女(男の娘)がまさか粗暴な体育教師に弱みを握られて調教されていつの間にか快楽に溺れてアヘアヘダブルピースでビデオ撮影されて喜んでいただなんて!!~
Alias: Netorare Otoko no Ko -As A Cuckold My Childhood Friend Revealed Her (His) Gapeface-
Release date: 2013-07-05
English release date: 2017-03-20
Developer: Otoko no Ko Soft
Publisher: NTRanon (as a fan-patch)

As I have stated multiple times, I really enjoy erotic fiction that features the netorare fetish or shemale/futanari characters. Now, combining those two in a single visual novel makes two great tastes taste great together. It also proves that there are some folks on 4chan (aka the asshole of the internet) with great taste, because one of them translated the game for the enjoyment of us plebs that do not speak Japanese.

Succubus Tales - Chapter 1: Nicci's Revenge Review

Title: Succubus Tales - Chapter 1: Nicci's Revenge
Release date: 2018-09-09 (Patreon release)
2018-10-09 (Public release)
Developer & publisher: Senryu-Sensei

Ladies, gentlemen and self-aware AIs, do you remember the "Village of Nightmare" series of games? For those who are not familiar with those, they are short RPG Maker adventure games staring a succubus, who infiltrates a human settlement and endeavours to corrupt and turn all the inhabitants into succubi, while having a lot of lewd fun in the process.

Zoe's Temptations Review

Title: Zoe's Temptations
Release date: 2017-08-15
Developer & publisher: Daniels K

Daniels K is one of the better known and definitely one of the most prolific adult game developers on Patreon. Where other creators struggle for years to finish a single game, he has already finished four and is halfway through his fifth foray into the interactive adult entertainment. "Zoe's Temptations" is Daniels K's third game and falls within the adventure genre.

Zoe's Temptations Walkthrough

 "Zoe's Temptations" is a Patreon-funded adult adventure game, released by Daniels K.

This walkthrough is dedicated to two separate playthroughs: one of pure Lust, the other - of pure Faye. It is entirely possible to get most of the content in a single playthrough by alternating one day for Lust and another for Faye, but you will still inevitably miss some scenes and events.

Note: Steps marked by a ++ symbol are parts of two optional side-quests. You don't require to do them to finish the game, but they reveal new scenes and CGs.

The Wind's Disciple Review

Title: The Wind's Disciple
Release date: 2018-01-09 (v1.0)
2018-05-11 (v1.2)
Developer & publisher: Pixel Games

Hallelujah! Can it really be?! Is it really a Patreon-funded adult visual novel that doesn't use a crappy 3D rendered art? Is that even legally allowed? I thought every Patreon creator that tries to make their own art for a video game gets whisked off to a secret government prison and has car battery cables attached to their nads for good measure....

The Wind's Disciple Walkthrough

"The Wind's Disciple" is a Patreon-funded visual novel, released by Pixel Games.
The game is freely available on the developer's blog.
More information is available on VNDB.

This is a step-by-step walkthrough, designed to show you all the scenes in the game, both main and secondary ones, that can be missed. While the game has an in-game hint option, it will only show what's needed for the main quest and won't delve into the side-quests. Additionally, it is not always completely correct.

Anyway, maybe it's possible to streamline the walkthrough a bit and see everything in a smaller number of steps, but I cannot be bothered to try and do it. :-) 

Majority of the choices in this game consist of where you go in the map and who you talk to. Let's begin.
