euphoria review

 

Title: euphoria

Release date: 2011-06-24

English release date: 2015-11-27

Developer: ClockUp

English publisher: MangaGamer

I don't think there is really a need to introduce "euphoria", a visual novel that acquired quite a chatter even before its translation into English, due to its "extreme" sexual content, and supposedly well crafted plot. But does it really deliver on both of these aspects, and is it worth your time? Well, I don't know, but I'll give you my opinion on it, so make of that what you will.

Maid Mansion Review

 

Title: Maid Mansion

Release date: 2020-11-14

Developer: Crazy Cactus Entertainment & Belgerum

Publisher: Crazy Cactus Entertainment & Critical Bliss

The developers of "Maid Mansion" released the first demo for their game back in 2016, gathered some feedback for the game... and then disappeared for four years, letting the people assume that the project simply didn't pan out. They returned in 2020 with a bang, first releasing an updated demo, and then the full game at the end of that year.

Sanguine Rose Review

 

Title: Sanguine Rose

Release date: 2019-05-12 (Lost Chapters DLC added on 2021-06-24)

Developer & publisher: Dusky Hallows Studio

"Sanguine Rose" is a short one-shot visual novel published by a couple duo Dusky and Hallows. It has limited information about the setting, is set in a single location, has a small number of characters, and the events happen over a short time frame, but it is a beautiful and very enjoyable experience nonetheless.

Sanguine Rose Walkthrough

 

"Sanguine Rose" has an official guide published by the developers, and I have used it to play the game, however it can be somewhat confusing, so I have taken my time to write a choice-by-choice walkthrough to get all the available endings and every Gallery item.

Under Control 2 Review

 

Title: Under Control 2

Release date: 2024-06-25

Developer & publisher: Higurashika

"Under Control 2" is a sort-of prequel to the previous game by the developer Higurashika "Under Control", and it basically has the same premise - a setting within a special college, where any and all sexual acts are encouraged. It has a different protagonist and the core cast, but a lot of characters from the first game return in the supporting roles.

Good Girl Gone Bad Review

 

Title: Good Girl Gone Bad

Release date: 2019-12-11 (final DLC issued on 2020-02-10)

Developer & publisher: Eva Kiss

"Good Girl Gone Bad" is a Patreon-funded Western visual novel that started its production when the Patreon VN scene was still pretty new. After all, the very first VN project appeared on Patreon by the end of 2016, while the production of GGGB had started in the middle of 2017. And I have to say, that despite its age, this game still remains the best female protagonist corruption game available on the market.

Good Girl Gone Bad Walkthrough

I have played through the game "Good Girl Gone Bad" using Dundun's scene guide, which while very useful doesn't really work as a walkthrough, as it only shows you conditions for certain scenes, but not the steps how to reach those conditions. There is also apparently a flowchart by MrBubu, but I didn't even know about its existence until after I have finished the game. So I have decided to write a detailed walkthrough of my own.

So, here you go: a choice-by-choice walkthrough how to get every ending and ending variation in GGGB.

Record of Asturion War Redux Review

Title: Record of Asturion War Redux

Release date: 2023-07-29

Developer & publisher: Harold

"Record of Asturion War" was a surprise release for me. I checked it out of small curiosity, me being a fan of sexual corruption genre, and ended up playing through the whole game in a few days. I can firmly say it was worth my time, as the game is not just another short nukige plaguing this genre.

My Dear Wife, Mariko's Report Review

 

Title: Ai Suru Tsuma, Mariko no Furin Houkoku ~Otto Kounin no Gachi Furin Sex~

Original title: 愛する妻、真理子の不倫報告 ～夫公認のガチ不倫ＳＥＸ～

Aliases: My Dear Wife, Mariko's Report

Please Bang My Wife 2

Release date: 2018-11-30

English release date: 2020-09-02

Developer: Atelier Sakura

English publisher: asehpe (as a fan-patch)

"My Dear Wife, Mariko's Report" is a sequel to the 2012 visual novel "Please Bang My Wife", released more than six years after the original. While I wasn't a fan of the prequel, the sequel is an improvement in multiple areas, showing that the interim period did some good to the developers and they managed to improve on their formula.

Please Bang My Wife Mini-Review

 

Title: Ai Suru Tsuma, Mariko ga Rinshitsu de Dakareru Made ~Anata ga Shiranai Koto, Kare ga Takusan Oshiete Kuremashita~

Original title: 愛する妻、真理子が隣室で抱かれるまで ～あなたが知らない事、彼がたくさん教えてくれました～

Alias: Please Bang My Wife

Release date: 2012-04-27

English release date: 2016-09-30

Developer: Atelier Sakura

English publisher: MangaGamer

"Please Bang My Wife", as it is known in the West, is yet another NTR-themed nukige from Atelier Sakura, though this one does something different with its premise. It doesn't really save it from the mediocrity, but I appreciate the effort.

Queen Beast Review

 

Title: Queen Beast

Release date: 2022-12-06

Developer & publisher: envelope

I don't think there are any questions why anyone would want to try this recently released Western VN called "Queen Beast" - it's the art. It took me one glance at the sample screenshots to know I'll be playing this game sooner rather than later, and now that I have done it, I have to say it was all worth it.

One Summer in Loliwood Review

 

Title: One Summer in Loliwood

Release date: 2022-06-19

Developer & publisher: ShinyDevon

"Bernd und das Rätsel um Unteralterbach" was a classic of its time - a social satire mixed with an actual high quality lolicon game, wrapped in a well-written package. Sadly, there were no serious attempts to replicate the winning formula for a long time, until "One Summer in Loliwood". The dev openly admits this game was inspired by "Unteralterbach", and it contains several references to it. There is just one question: Does it manage to deliver on the lofty promise?

Friendly Blonding Mini-Review

 

Title: Friendly Blonding

Release date: 2022-04-08

Developer & publisher: Infidelisoft

What do you think about the following story idea? A guy is unsatisfied that his girlfriend does not want to dye her hair blonde, so he asks his friend for help convincing her. Netorare ensues.

Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story Review

 

Title: Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story

Release date: 2023-02-13

Developer: BP Games

Publisher: BP Games & TinyHat Studios

Some time ago I have tried an early build of the game named "Opportunity: A Sugar Baby Story", and it peaked my interest quite a bit, so when I saw the game finally reaching completion, I took it upon myself to obtain the copy and play through it.

Under Control Review

 

Title: Under Control

Release date: 2021-09-28

Developer & publisher: Higurashika

It takes a very special game to be banned from the den of scum and villainy that is F95Zone, and any title that manages to achieve that should carry it as a badge of honour. "Under Control" is just such a title, which probably deserves to be checked out.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York Review

 

Title: Vampire: The Masquerade - Coteries of New York

Release date: 2019-12-11

Developer & publisher: Draw Distance

I don't think that "Vampire the Masquerade" is an IP that needs a special introduction. Originally a P&P RPG, it eventually bled into other media, including an early computer game "Redemption", which not many people have played, and a much more successful outing "Bloodlines", which was played by everyone and their pet Pomeranian. Somehow, despite being quite janky in the technical department, "Bloodlines" managed to become one of those timeless games like "Deus Ex", which are reinstalled every time someone mentions them on the internet.

Marina's Cuckolding Report 2 Review

 

Title: Kashidashi Tsuma, Marina no "Netorase" Houkoku 2 Case. Moto AV Dan'yuu & Binkan Tsuma

Original title: 貸し出し妻、満里奈の“ネトラセ”報告2 CASE.元AV男優＆敏感妻

Alias: Marina's Cuckolding Report 2

Release date: 2014-08-29

English release date: 2021-07-12

Developer: Atelier Sakura

English publisher: Capu Translations (as a fan-patch)

"Marina's Cuckolding Report 2" (MCR2) is the second part in the netorase-focused Marina trilogy, and incidentally the last in the series to be translated. The latter happened due to the game changing the engine for the second iteration, and none of those who showed an interest in translating it had any know-how of how to crack it. Eventually the problem was overcome, and now the whole trilogy has been translated for the fans.

Marina's Cuckolding Report Review

 

Title: Kashidashi Tsuma, Marina no "Netorase" Houkoku Binkan Tsuma to Zetsurin Daigakusei

Original title: 貸し出し妻、満里奈の“ネトラセ”報告 敏感妻と絶倫大学生

Alias: Marina's Cuckolding Report: Sensitive Wife and Great Fuck College Student

Release date: 2013-09-27

English release date: 2017-08-11

Developer: Atelier Sakura

English publisher: MangaGamer

"Marina's Cuckolding Report" (MCR) is the first entry (not counting the side-stories) in the Marina trilogy - a Japanese visual novel series, which itself is a part of a much larger collective of stories centered on netorase (or "cuckolding", as it is translated in the official English release). Sadly, only the first game in the trilogy (and another title from the larger series) has been officially translated in English, however fan-translators came to the rescue. The other parts of the trilogy recently received unofficial translations, which prompted me to pick up the first title to check it out.

When I Woke Up, I'd Become a Pretty Swordswoman Who Protects My Cousin Review

 

Title: Mezameru to Itoko o Mamoru Bishoujo Kenshi ni Natteita

Original title: 目覚めると従姉妹を護る美少女剣士になっていた

Alias: When I Woke Up, I'd Become a Pretty Swordswoman Who Protects My Cousin

Release date: 2013-01-25

English release date: 2021-06-06

Developer: mille-feuille

Publisher: Espeon & Jumi (fan-patch)

When I started playing the visual novel, called "When I Woke Up, I'd Become a Pretty Swordswoman Who Protects My Cousin", I had no idea it's actually a literary adaptation of an existing light novel series, published between 2011 and 2015. Well, I say adaptation, but I have no idea if the game actually follows the story beats of the novels, or if it's an original story set in the same setting. Anyway, after finishing the game, I have to proclaim it a masterpiece... because these days you can throw feces at a blank page of paper and call it a masterpiece.

Kissing Therapy: Proper Counseling Review

 

Title: Kissing Therapy: Proper Counselling

Release date: 2019-10-19

Developer & publisher: Outbreak Games

As I have mentioned in my previous review for "Kissing Therapy", the game was a short but very well done piece of erotic mind control storytelling. However, its biggest problem was the short runtime that ended up being mostly a teaser, thus it's no surprise that the developers decided to continue exploring the setting in a prequel.
