Melanin Friendly Game – ‘One Thousand and One Days’
Hey Hey! I took an unexpected break this past weekend, I took a blogging break to enjoy my new Switch and do some adulting. I wanna get back into the swing of things with another Melanin Friendly Game pick. This time around I’m covering a game that I’ve […]
Melanin Friendly Games – ‘PAIRS’
Thanks to my mom I’m a casual Trekkie, and I have fond memories of watching a handful of episodes with her during marathons when I was younger. I’ve even gone on to watch through the original series on Netflix and Next Generation whenever I can catch a marathon. […]
Melanin Friendly Games – ‘Magical Warrior Diamond Heart’
One of my first experiences with Japanese culture and anime came from watching Sailor Moon after school. Though the American dub of the series was HEAVILY edited, I was enamored with the series and tuned in every day to see Serena (yes, I know Usagi) and the rest […]
Melanin Friendly Games – ‘A Troll’s Fairy Tale’
Hey Hey!! Day 2 of my “mostly” month long shoutout to melanin friendly games!! It’s Black History Month, so for the remainder of the month, I want to write mini reviews spotlighting games that feature Black and Brown characters in prominent roles! As a Black woman and gamer, […]
Melanin Friendly Games – ‘Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones’
It’s Black History Month, and while I’m a week late to the party, I wanted to do something special to celebrate and what better way to do that than to flood your timelines and readers with Melanin Friendly games?! Diversity in games has certainly gotten better over the […]
Bite-Sized Review – Nightshade
Where to Get the Game: Steam A little while ago I went on a recovery mission into my backlog and I “rescued” a few titles from the depths. One of those titles was Nightshade. When this game was originally released I didn’t have the money to purchase it, so a […]
Love Brings You Home – Arata Yuki Main Story Review
I waited to write this review because I didn’t quite know how I wanted to go about discussing Arata’s route. On one hand, I’m a fan of kuudere LIs, so I had no problem overlooking some of Arata’s less than stellar personality points, however, there were some pretty cringe-y moments in this route that will probably make some folks a little uneasy. So, if I had to sum up my feelings about this particular route, I’d have to say they’re a bit mixed…
I Finally Finished My First Route in Code Realize ~ Guardians of Rebirth~
I’ve been playing Code Realize ~ Guardians of Rebirth ~ off and on for the past five or so years and despite the overwhelming love for the game I could just never seem to make much headway with it. So in 2019 I made a bit of an […]
Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk Otome Review
I just finished my first playthrough of Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk and I’d like to get my initial thoughts about the game down before I get any deeper into the story, because my God was this game intense. I played Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly awhile ago and I didn’t really […]
[First Thoughts] Love Brings You Home
Voltage Inc. games make up about 45% of my gaming backlog. The company was my first introduction to the world of otome games and over the years I have amassed quite a few stories from each of the many, many Otome Romance titles they produce. Because I have so many […]
One Thousand and One Days Game Review – An Enchanting Fantasy VN
For someone that shies away from incomplete series, I’ve been really getting into episodic visual novels. Rather than blazing through a game in one sitting, the plot unfolds over a series of chapters/episodes and because there is usually a bit of a wait between new releases, this gap […]
Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly Otome Review – All Aboard the Feels Train
I am super late to the party with this one since Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly was the first game released as part of Aksys Games’s “Summer of Mystery” otome game releases, alongside 7’scarlet and Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk. Of the three games Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly was the one that got the most […]

Silver:Line – Demo Review
I usually have a hard time writing reviews about demos, since unlike completed games, they don’t always have all the finalized assets that you’d expect from a full blown release. If you’re lucky, a demo will cover the common route or the prologue, which at least gives you […]
My Only Sunshine Review – A Romance VN That’s Out Of This World!
I absolutely love NaNoRenO because it gives up and coming developers the opportunity to make their debut in the game development world and bring their own unique ideas to life. These are usually smaller projects put together by a much smaller team, however, I’ve played quite a few […]

Dangerous Fellows Review – Nothing Says Romance Like A Zombie Apocalypse
It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of free to play otome games, but the premise of an otome game set amidst a zombie apocalypse was so bizarre I found myself putting aside my biases about freemium mobile games. Dangerous Fellows is a 2018 mobile otome game published […]
When the Night Comes Review – A Devilishly Addictive Supernatural Mystery
When the Night Comes is an episodic supernatural fantasy otome game from indie team, Lunaris Games.

Falling for a Cold Hacker: Dangerous Seduction- Yasumi Arimura

Falling for an Arrogant Sniper: Dangerous Seduction- Masaharu Ryuzaki
First I should probably say that I don’t usually go for the arrogant types that Voltage seems to be hellbent on shoving down our throats all the time. In fact I tend to avoid them all together. Full blown jerks tend to rub me the wrong way, but […]
[First Thoughts] Dangerous Seduction
There I was minding my own business, browsing Twitter, when I saw that Voltage had finally decided to release a brand new app, Dangerous Relationship! So I immediately dropped everything and downloaded the game from the App store!! So first things first, the art is a bit different […]

[First Thoughts] This World Unknown
So with all of the Liar! Uncover the Truth reviews I’ve been writing lately, it might be hard to believe that I’ve also been playing another game… Yup, I have been playing Ebi-Hime‘s most recent commercial visual novel, This World Unknown! Shocking, I know, Liar! has literally been taking up all of my time […]
That Guy is a Scam Artist: Liar! Uncover the Truth- 8th Liar

Voltage is really pulling out the big guns with these last few Liars! We’ve had an adulterer, a gambler, a gangster, and now a drug addict?! I’m actually afraid to see what Liars 8 and 9 have in store for us… This time around there were four potential […]
That Guy is a Yakuza: Liar! Uncover the Truth- 6th Liar
*sobs* I’m sorry ya’ll but this liar reveal hit me kind of hard, I really wanted him to stick around a bit longer! *weeps* Give me a moment… *ahem* So somehow or another Liar! turned into an episode of Married to the Mob and as much as I […]

After dealing with the rage-aholic in the 2st Liar arc, I was already on endge when I started the 3rd Liar arc. This time around there were four potential Liars to choose from, Sotaro, Joe, Itaru, and Kunio; and I can say with all honesty, that I did not see this one coming […]

That Guy has Anger Issues: Liar! Uncover the Truth- 2nd Liar Toya Kashi
After the crazy borderline incest in the 1st Liar arc, I had no idea what to expect from the 2nd Liar arc. This time around there were three potential Liars to choose from, Keima Katagiri, Toya Kashi, and Itaru Yuikawa; and I can say with all honesty, that […]
That Guy is a Mama’s Boy: Liar! Uncover the Truth- 1st Liar

My Lover is the Leader of the Shinsengumi-Era of Samurai: Code of Love- Isami Kondo

My Lover is the Master Swordsman of the Shinsengumi- Era of Samurai: Code of Love- Soji Okita
When I first saw Soji Okita in the prologue, he scared me a bit. He just looks like someone who’d kills indiscriminately, but after playing Hijikata’s route my opinion changed. He seemed like a genuinely okay, if not a little too playful, guy, so when Voltage released his story […]
