MYTH (PC)


This one is seems to be a really weird, bizarre doujin VN. Some people label it sci-fi, mystery, horror. A lot of people who have read it describe it as a complete mindfuck. Sounds unique. I'm fascinated.

Release date: 28th October 2016

The MangaGamer version direct from their website... they are describing as the "adult" version. I've seen a review that said there was one sex scene in the VN. And no romance. So I am guessing that sex scene is omitted from the Steam version.

Her and Her and My 7 Days -Seven days with the Ghost- (PC)


18+ yuri VN, originally known as "Kanojo to Kanojo to Watashi no Nanoka -Seven days with the Ghost-". Will be sold through Denpasoft.

Dead End Junction (PC) 


It's already out. I wishlisted it for myself. Really want to read it. Even more now that I read this translator interview and see how much effort he put into linguistic research to get historical American English just right.

Kisaragi no Hougyoku (PC)


You may remember I posted a kickstarter for this a few months ago, to smarten up this mobile VN ready for a PC port? Well, that kickstarter failed, so the PC port is monochrome, unvoiced, and uses serif fonts.

There's a demo available though. It's a school life story where the school has a weird tradition about pairing up students each year - and they need to be opposite sex and in different year groups. Also the protagonist seems to have some sort of magic powers. So - there is perhaps more to this than meets the eye.

Diorama Battle of NINJA 虚拟3D世界 忍者之战 (PC)


I think this one must be Japanese because it's being published by Dogenzaka Lab - but to be honest, I know very little about this game. It's by X-Stream Digital Co., Ltd. and whenever I search for it, I get led back to Steam.

Looking at the trailer, it appears to be a fast-paced top-down action game where you're a shuriken-throwing ninja, and it plays so fast, and with so many enemies swarming in, it almost resembles a top-down shmup.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.4 Himatsubushi (PC)


This was supposed to be released already, but something's screwed up at MangaGamer, apparently.

It's the final question arc of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni ~ When They Cry ~. After this, we will be able to embark on the answer arcs!

Acceleration of SUGURI 2 (PC)


Newest shoot em up from Orange Juice, coming to us via Fruitbat Factory. There's nothing more specific of a release date than "Coming Soon", though.

Love the 1990s style music in the trailer. XD
