A Dash of Black Girl Magic in Every Review
Game reviews.
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was released in Japan as Wish Room: Angel’s Memory. It’s a 2007 Nintendo DS single-player adventure visual novel developed by Cing, the creators of Another Code: Two Memories (aka Trace Memories in NA). Hotel Dusk was released as part of the Touch Generation of DS games,…
So of all the love interests in Starry Sky in Spring, Suzuya was the one I was least excited about. And after my lukewarm feelings about Kanata and Yoh, I wasn’t really expecting much. Suzuya is the most mature guy in the group and designated Mama Hen. While the others are…
So, for my second route of Starry Sky in Spring I chose to pursue Kanata Nanami. He was probably the character I was looking forward to the most. I love tsundere characters, I find their hot/cold personalities cute. Kanata was everything you’d expect from a tsundere. Like the other boys…
Like the first time I played Starry Sky in Spring, I chose Yoh Tomoe as the first love interest. I guess, he’s the character that left the biggest impression on me in the beginning. While I liked the game overall, I feel like the individual routes were predictable and full…
This is an exciting post for me, not only is this my 100th Post, but DRAMAtical Murder was the first game I ever reviewed on this blog! So this post is a really special post! I actually went back and looked at my review from back then, and I can say…
Let me preface this review by saying that I’m not a fan of the gentlemanly types. I dunno, there’s something wrong about the perfect characters that just rubs me the wrong way. I try to like them, but they can be too perfect at times. Initially it looked like Hidetaka…
My Wedding and the 7 Rings did not pique my interest, at first. My Forged Wedding was one of my favorite games. And the fake marriage premise was a bit played out for me. But, that was before I saw Kai Fujisawa. The minute I saw Kai’s character design, I…
A little over a year ago, Voltage released the English language version of My Wedding and the 7 Rings a spin-off of the extremely popular, My Forged Wedding. The new game takes place in the same universe as the MFW series. And even features two of the love interests from the…
Starry Sky is a series of Japanese PC otome games (has since ported to PSP) developed by software company Honeybee. Starry Sky in Spring released in 2009, is the first game in the series, which centers around Tsukiko Yahisa (name changeable), the first female student to attend Seigetsu Academy. Each game features three love interests, in Spring the…
What if you had the power to change the past with just the flick of a pen? Would you use it? What about the consequences? Are they worth it? These are the questions Ethan Kairos must answer, when he wakes up one morning to find a strange wormhole at the head…
Ukyo is my last route in Amnesia: Memories and it has been a long road to this point. Playing every route in a game is definitely a full time commitment. I have seen good, bad, and just plain ugly in this game. So after watching Ukyo kill the MC with absolutely…
I don’t really like childhood friend stories at the best of times and Toma did not leave the best impression. There is just something off about Toma’s good guy act. Even in the other routes I just KNEW something twisted lurked beneath his big brother persona. But, the first indication…
Over Spring Break, I mangaged to finish, Kent’s route in Amnesia: Memories. Let me tell you, I am so glad I didn’t play him first. He would have spoiled the rest of the game for me. I LOVE Kent, he is by far the best route of the game! I…
Ikki is the typical playboy, good looking and always surrounded by women. But, for some reason he’s dating a normal girl like the MC. Of all the routes available in this game, Ikki’s is probably the one that I was least looking forward to. I really don’t like the flirty, playboy…
So after an unbearable amount of waiting and pinning, Voltage finally decided to release Shinichi Kagari’s route for After School Affairs…Okay, I know I’m exaggerating, but damnit he should have been the first released route to begin with! If you follow me on Twitter or Tumblr you’ll know I was…
I usually don’t go for the childhood friend characters. But I really liked Shin’s character design. From the piercings to the jacket, everything about him seemed to scream bad boy. Plus he’s a bit of a tsundere, which trumps everything. I actually really enjoyed Shin’s route. It had just enough…
I was pleasantly surprised by Zyglavis in Star Crossed Myth! In the beginning Zyglavis felt like a mix of Scorpio and Eisuke Ichinomiya. But the more I played the more I enjoyed the route. Despite his initial coldness, Zyglavis is secretly the most compassionate of all the gods. Plus he’s…
So I finally got around to finishing my first route in Amnesia: Memories! Yay! *throws confetti* As always, I’m a few months behind the rest of the otome community. But I can live with that. I took my time playing this one, and I’m kinda glad I did. There was a…
Scorpio isn’t just my favorite Star Crossed Myth character, but one of my favorite Voltage characters. I fell in love with this dark haired god almost from the beginning. Scorpio’s scowl and brooding expression just set my poor fangirl heart aflame. As I have said before I have a type: cool aloof, tsunderes,…
I usually don’t do this, but I figured for once, why not get ahead of the curve a little…Yesterday Voltage released a brand new game, After School Affairs! Am I excited about this game? Eh, not really, but that didn’t stop me from downloading it the minute it was available in…
A Knight’s Devotion is a fantasy alternate history mobile otome game developed by Voltage Inc. In the game you are a princess who falls in love with one of the knights who are hired to protects you. So with all the hype surrounding the newer Voltage Inc games, the older…
A review of Soryu Oh from Kissed by the Baddest Bidder.
So while taking a break from Astoria, I managed to find time for Voltage’s newest game Butler Until Midnight. I must have died and gone to otoge fangirl heaven! I mean, butlers! Frickin, BUTLERS!!!! *cough* Ahem, *cough* I was excited for this game. Of course, there was one character that…
Because of some impromptu snow days I was finally able to play Astoria Fates Kiss Hades season 1 stories. And OMG, it was everything I could have hoped for and more! Hades is such a gentleman and I found myself swooning over him just as much as the MC (maybe…

Alice in the Heart – Wonderful Wonder World is an Alice in Wonderland inspired fantasy otome game developed by QuinRose. So, I’m about a year late at finally playing this game. I was super stoked when I heard that we were getting an English port of Alice in the Country…
So as many of you may know Astoria: Fate’s Kiss is the sequel/second season of Voltage Inc’s urban fantasy romance game, Labyrinths of Astoria… Now that Season 1 has come to a close, in preparation for our second season, we’d like to announce a name change, from “Labyrinths of Astoria”…
