Cherry Tree High Comedy Club Review

"Cherry Tree High Comedy Club", or CTHCC for short, is a little skit of a game which can be finished in about 4 hours. It's not particularly interesting or particularly funny, but it might just lift your mood for a few hours.

Moving on... (or not)

So, you have probably have heard about the new Google policy. Specifically the ban on adult Blogger blogs, who will be set to private starting with March 23. Meaning that only I and those I share the keys with will be able to enter my blog. It doesn't necessarily mean that my blog will go dark on the 23rd.

As every blog will be checked manually by Google to determine if they are pornographic or not, it might take months or more for them to get to mine and determine if it offends their sensibilities or not. Still, it is a bad precedent and puts my writing in peril. Due to that I have set up a backup website to continue my blogging.

Go to address http://beliar-cos.com/ and see for yourselves. It's mostly set up and running already.

UPDATE: Google recanted and decided not to implement the said draconian measures anymore. That means I won't be abandoning this blog and both my websites will be active as mirrors of each other. :-)

Exodus Guilty Review

Title: Exodus Guilty
Original title: エクソダスギルティー
Release date: 1998-11-06
English release date: 2005-11-28 (Vol. 1)

2006-09-15 (Vol. 2)

2006-12-10 (Vol. 3)

Developer: Abel
English publisher: Hirameki International

"Exodus Guilty" was one of the visual novels released by the dead and buried Hirameki in the horrible DVD-PG format for a supposed compatibility with more devices. That's not unusual of the said company. It wasn't even unusual for them to cut the sex scenes. What is a bit more strange, is that the game was split into three volumes, which were released separately.
