Event: VN Overload!

 

Event: Visual Novel Overload (VNO)

October 22 - 23 (Saturday and Sunday)

With my current library of over 200+ Visual Novels and its continued growth almost weekly (yeah I have a bad addiction), I have decided its time for a weekend of self indulgence...so its time for an overload of the Visual Novel variety!

So load up on Energy Drinks, Mountain Dew, 2-Liters and the kind of snacks your parents warned you about...or that you warn your kids about...whatever works and lets get ready for a weekend of adult fun, adult humor, and some smexy time.

Depending on the VN will depend on several things, such as full play time, how many paths there are for us to discover and if they are interactive we may have to play some mini games to get a little bit into it. But hell that is part of the fun!

I will be working out a list of games and will post it soon, I plan on streaming as much as possible and I will also be recording it to post on my Odysee account. I hope to see you there with bells on...or not doesn't matter to me, but bells could make it more fun!

Dream Hacker

 

Dream Hacker is nice little arcade style clicker game. The game was released August 30th of 2022 and was developed by Flying Fish and Published by PlayMeow Games. The game centers around you the protag in the near distant future where you are an extremely smart man with zero social skills. As such you spend your time wasting away in your home doing odd and in jobs. Through your skills as a programmer and what I can only assume as an engineer of sorts you are able to take existing technology and programming and create a Dream Machine.

The Dream Machine in questions allows you to hone in on powerful dream waves then through analyzing them you are able to see the dreams of that person. Just so happens of course your a horny dude and you look for dreams of hot girls that are a bit more...open in their dreams than they probably are in real life.

The clicker mini-game is interesting as it is based on your attempts to hack into the persons dream. To do this you need data keys that you get through a simple English game. It shows you a picture (which is based on the dream and your current data key collection) then you have to click and hold then decide what that item is. Doing this will build up Data Key Points that will allow you to hack the dream once you meet all the criteria.

Once you obtain the Data Key you are able to then hack into the girls dream and place yourself there. In doing so it opens up the interactive h-scene mini-game allowing you to do a number of actions and a few other things. The game is still being updated and new girls are being added over the course of the games deployment. 

The game is short, the music is ok, the graphics are not bad and the H-Scene mini games are awesome. Honestly I can't say anything bad for a game like this, and its priced pretty well at $6.99.

It is a good time waster and a good way to interact with the H-Scenes which we all want to do at some point I'm sure...or is that just me?

Estella's Nightmare: Sealed Space and a Succubus's Curse

 

Estella's Nightmare: Sealed Space and a Succubus's Curse is a short side scrolling fighting game that is very much adult oriented and isn't hard to play through. The game was released August 9th 2022 and was developed by a company that apparently to the store page has no English translation and produced by PlayMeow Games. The reviews for this game are numerous and its listed as 'mostly positive'. 

The story intro is short and the story seems pretty straight forward and is also short in length. Fighting wise the game is very basic with you spending your time learning at what pace to deploy your defense magic to block attacks while also waiting for your action gauge to fill so you can use your attacks.

You play as a cat-eared (Neko) girl by the name of Estella, you decided to help your father by going to gather herbs to help him heal up and cure his illness. In the process of this you run into a crystal that then transports you to a sealed space where a Succubus sits on a throne. She explains you have been transported to a sealed realm and you have a chance to get out if you can find all the portal cores in different area's and bring them back.

The Succubus also provides you with a weapon and a magical seal that allows you to harness 'erotic power' that you can then use to upgrade your stats. There are only three stats you can upgrade and you can literally max them out in the first level if you wanted to.

 To gain 'erotic power' you simply need to let your health drop to almost nothing, then your attacker will try to...take advantage of Estella, and have its way with her. You can quickly tap a button and (depends on if your keyboard or controller) and break the "ritual". Doing this 3 times in a row will allow you to gain 1 point. 

There are only three stats you can update, your attack power, increased action speed, and amount of action points and you can level each of these 3 times. So in total you will need 9 points. Once you have those nine points and you upgrade your stats your pretty much left with your own ability to block attacks and counter attack, you also have a small selection of magic you can use but honestly all I ever used was the heal spell. 

You can also choose not to hit the button and allow the enemy to have their way with Estella, this will trigger an ending H-scene and depending on what level your on and what enemy you are fighting will depend on the ending you get. Even if you let Estella get taken you can simply start back where the Succubus is with no penalty. 

The game is currently on sale for $7.99 which isn't bad though its normal retail is $9.99. I guess its up to you if you want to pay full price for it, I can see where the budget went mostly to the H-scenes as they are hi-res and animated and the voice over matches things to a 'T' . 

If you are looking for a quick, easy, fun, erotic, game that has a little rpg playing elements to it then this would be a good buy. 

Revenge of the Orcs : Flag of Big Green Cock

 

Revenge of the Orcs was released August 11th, 2022 and was developed by Dieselmine and published by Shiravune. Shiravune's link can be found at the side of the main hompage of this blog. Click the link and it will take you to their storefront where you can buy this game or one of many other games that Shiravune has produced. And no they did not pay me for that bit of advertising...though if they would it would be nice.

Revenge of the Orcs is a unique twist to most games of this genera in the sense you do not play as a 'good' protagonist and in fact you play pretty much one of the two main villains in the game. You play as Org the Orc...look I don't come up with the names here I just write the blogs. Org is your typical orc and one day when he's out hunting for some food minding his own business his home camp is attacked and destroyed by three adventures, and upon his return and seeing them slaughter his fellow tribes people he is filled with rage and the desire to obtain revenge.

The three adventures were the Princess Knight Lina, Priestess Artie, and the Half-Oni Warrioress Belka. At this time in their world the human and allied races were against the orcs and wars and battles waged as both sides attacked one another. Princess Lina took it upon her self to destroy 'raiding' tribe camps which led her and her companions to Org's camp.

After the battle Org tried to decide what he needed to do, and to his surprise he gained an unlikely ally. A human named Dominq appeared and offered Org the chance of a lifetime. Dominq was a merchant and one that was well versed in the slave trade. He made a deal with Org to help him claim his revenge and in return he helps Dominq obtain wealth.

With the deal struck the two begin by hoisting the Orc flag of rebellion...but soon it would become the flag of conquest. The game has you play a numbers game of sorts. You start out with a small band of Orc Warriors and Hired Mercenaries. Using these two forces (Orcs making up your Health and Mercs making up your Strength) you attack settlements and towns. Upon winning you obtain a number of slaves which depends on the town you attack. You then go to your Orc Camp where you then train the slaves to become workers. Upon completing this step you can then sell the workers for gold. 

Gold is then used to buy more Orcs and Mercenaries and this process continues until you are able to rally enough to take on the three main "bad guys" one at a time. Of course as you conquer them you unlock larger towns and cities to raid earning you more slaves and therefore more gold. You have a set amount of days to build up your armies to fight and win against each of the three adventures. Selling workers earns you respect from the Nobility and they spread some misinformation to help you buy extending the amount of days you have, this will come to your advantage. 

About midway through the game a fourth woman will be added to your list of people to beat and capture, she is a Demon by the name of Dies...again...I don't make the names here.

This game has 3 main endings and one hidden ending that is based on certain choices you make through the game. There are also 'special' areas that if you raid and win you will gain Gold instead of slaves and you will gain special slaves (though I am not sure what they really do other than add some nice dialogue and CG art...which I'm fine with.)

The game is listed at 14.99$ which I think is a little on the higher end seeing as I played through the game in about an hour to two hours, but it is currently on sale for 11.99$ which is still a bit high but not as bad. The game if purchased from Steam is censored, but if you go to the Shiravune website you can get the 18+DLC for free or you can go to the website direct and buy it and get the complete game without needing a DLC.

While the game isn't long and the story is rather shallow...seeing an elf, half oni, demon, and a human girl get boned by an orc can be interesting...if your into that kind of thing.

Siscon Sister of the Week

 

This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week is Elise Schwarzer from the hit game 'Legend of Hero's : Trails of Cold Steel', a game developed by Nihon Falcom and published by XSEED Games, Marvelous USA Inc. The game has 4 titles in this particular series usually referred to simply as the 'Trails of Cold Steel Saga'. 

The game is a classic RPG style game with great graphics, very in depth storyline, and nice character interactions. You play as Rean Schwarzer the adopted son of an Erebonian noble Baron Tio Schwarzer. You decide to go to the prestigious Military Academy Thor's to get your last couple of years of education in an attempt to decide on what you wish to do in the future. It is here fate puts you as the fore fronted figurehead due to change not just the nation but the world itself. 

Elise Schwarzer is the blood born child of Baron Tio and as such technically she would be next in line to obtain the Baron title. Elize and Rean have been raised just as a real brother and sister and Rean tends to be a bit protective of her. Elise attends the all girl School Astria located in the capital city of the Erebonian Empire. As such she has become great friends with the daughter of the Emperor. 

Elise is timid by nature and very soft spoken. She can be a bit crass when it comes to Rean, and despite the fact that they have been raised as siblings she has a deep felt love and passion towards Rean that only he friend Princess Alfin knows about, though the other girls around Rean have picked up on it as well. Rean in his own right is clueless to the feelings of his female classmates and Elise as well.

Elise from time to time will relay on her older brother Rean to help her along, but other times she's the inspiration for Rean to push forward with his own life. Elise is also adapt with a sword and while not a main character in the party all the time she does join the party on occasion to provide some support. 

I highly recommend this game if you enjoy classic style RPG's with a bit modern graphics. I won't deny that at first I was a bit hesitant about getting it or the others...but I got hooked not long after starting it, and with over 200+ hours in the game now getting different endings and love interests in the first game and porting them to the second game...it is a full time job at this point and at least its one I can support.

Siscon Sister of the Week

 

This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week is  Mizuha Kiryu of the hit anime Hensuki: Are you willing to fall in love with a pervert, as long as she's a cutie?, and yes that is the full title. It was written by Tomo Hanama and started out as a Light Novel before becoming a Manga. Soon after Funimation picked it up and created the anime. 

The anime has 12 episodes and sadly at the time of this post has not been renewed yet for a new season. However, recently there has been a great push in the industry to go back and fill second seasons of many anime that were put to the side for new anime to take place. It is expected that this anime may see a second season but it may not be for a few more years.

The story follows Keiki Kiryu, which for all intensive purposes is an ordinary high school student with nothing that really stands out. That said he's not a slacker or anything, he's average in sports and classwork so he's no hero type at least.

One day when helping to clean out one of the club rooms he finds a letter that has his name on it and with it is a pair of panties. So starts the fun drive to find who it was that confessed to him and left him her panties. 

As the story progresses there are three girls that he believes to be 'Cinderella' as he and his friend has dubbed her and each has their own unique fetishes. And funny as it is as the anime goes the girls find themselves falling for Keiki and in a way he starts his own Harem...without really wanting to or knowing he did.

As the anime progresses a fourth girl is added to the mix though he at first thought there was no way she would have been on of the candidates for 'Cinderella'. That is of course his sister Mizuha. 

Mizuha is a cute, sweet, and innocent girl that doesn't make waves in the slightest. She seems almost fragile and tends to be a bit more submissive, though she can assert herself if need be. She is very close to Keiki and adores him greatly. While she is the last on the list she is never fully removed even though Keiki thinks its not possible.

While I don't want to ruin the anime for those that might want to watch it, I do highly recommend this anime as it is full of comedy and the things that happen to poor Keiki is funny to see. Despite its obvious undertones it isn't as bad as one might think...at least its not a Hentai anyways. 

If you have the time and Funimation (or Crunchy Roll as they bought out Funimation) you can catch this anime on there. You can also purchase it from a place called, 'The Right Stuff' used to be 'Right Stuff International' which is an store dedicated to Manga, Anime, and much much more.

Players Preview: A Housewife's Healing Touch - Prologue

 

A Housewife's Healing Touch Prologue was developed by AliceSoft as well as was published by AliceSoft. Unlike most games I post about this game as far as I know can not be obtained on Steam but instead can be purchased through a third party store which I will link down at the bottom. 

At the time of me writing this I have just downloaded this game as it is free, and will be doing a video and review on it at a later time. Currently I am needing to finish a couple of other games before I play this one. That said lets go over this game.

A Housewife's Healing Touch Prologue is a free introduction to the the Housewife's Healing Touch series. After playing through the Prologue you can then buy the two stand alone games, Pure Love and NTR Route. If your not sure what NTR I'll put what it is at the bottom of the page.

The story takes place in a magical world where you play as Shion a young man that is unable to manifest his magical powers even after he has come of age. Because of this he is left in the care of a family that specializes in magical research. 

At some point he is finally able to unleash his full potential during a terrible incident, at which point he is taken under the wing of a skilled healer named Rui. Rui, promises to teach him how to control his powers, but to do that a man like Shion will need the profound knowledge about carnal matters.

In the end, will Shion be able to save Rui from a terrible fate or will he let her become the villages plaything.

The graphics look pretty decent considering its free, though you will have to pay for the other two stand alone games if you get addicted to this game. With the map I am thinking that there will be some things you can do that involving moving around and who knows what else they have added to this game as well. With it being an AliceSoft game I do have a slightly higher expectation considering these are the same developers that brought us 'Evencile' and 'Evencile II'.

A Housewife's Healing Touch Prologue

Netorare, or NTR is a genre of anime (most commonly found in hentai), with a specific idea at its centre - cheating. The sex in an Netorare hentai/NTR hentai will focus more on the couple that is having an affair together, rather than the married or dating couple whose relationship is being violated.

Player Preview: Aristocunts

 

Starting a new series called 'Players Preview'. Players Preview is a fun little way to get some basic starter information about a game prior to playing it as well as some general thoughts on the content. 

So today's Player Preview game is Aristocunts, developed by Miel and Published by Cherry Kiss Games and released in June of 2020. The game has also just gotten a second game added to it called Aristocunts II. As the name may suggest and the fact it is published by Cherry Kiss Games, it is an adult oriented Visual Novel.

The story goes along the lines that you as the protag wakes up in an Otome Game. It is a game that you have played before and so you know the story pretty much inside and out and you know that you want to avoid the bad ending. To do this you must reform the two primary NPC's which is the Duchess and her daughter. To do this you have only a couple of things going for you, the fact you know this game like the back of your hand...and your dick. 

The game features original artwork from the Japanese version, fully voiced over characters of Elizabeth and Mirza the Duchess and her daughter, hours of story content, music and special effects, and 15 Hardcore scenes of training the two stuck up NPC's to be the ideal pets.

I think my only real problem so far is the fact they don't discuss the fact there is no choice, though straight through VN's aren't bad either its just not my favorite. I more enjoy the idea of having a choice and how those choices affect different parts of the story and characters. But other than that I am interested to see what kind of things they got in here that has made it such a hit that they even just came out with another one.

Siscon Sister of the Week

 

This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week is Nanami Arihara from the Visual Novel developed by YUZUSOFT and published by NekoNyan Ltd. called Riddle Joker. 

While she's not technically the protagonists biological sister (through blood relations). However, they have been raised as brother and sister since both were young. Their father, a man that runs a special organization that uses gifted and talented children and adults with unique powers called Astral Abilities, has always treated them as siblings.

Nanami is a kind sweet girl that excels at every aspect of housework. Personality wise she's placid and subdued. She is shy and reserved, especially when meeting new people, but once she warms up to a person she can be rather friendly.

Being paired with her older brother (Satoru) as his 'Support' and 'Operator' gives them a lot of time together both on field assignments and when they are not working for their father's organization. 

Over time the two begin to bond in much deeper ways than just as siblings and at first they try to keep it a secret from their friends and their father. However, as all secret's do at times, they tend to get found out. Their friends are fine with it knowing they are not blood related, and their father seen it coming a mile away, though he is slightly taken aback by it at first. 

Riddle Joker is a very interesting VN that takes a unique look at a world where due to a unique event the creation of the 'Astral Particle' gives a great deal of people unique powers, and no two powers are exactly the same. I recommend this to anyone interested in a nice thriller VN.

Updating tomorrow

 Good morning everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that I am taking the day off today as we have some friends coming over. However just wanted to let you all know I will be posting the Siscon Saturday Sister tomorrow (yes a day late) as well as posting a blog for the week. Monday after I return from work I will be working up some previews of some upcoming Visual Novels and possible release dates. 

I hope to see you all there!

Siscon Saturday Sister of the Week

Siscon Sister of the Week

Airi

This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week goes to Airi of the Visual Novel 'My Yandere Sister loves me too much!'. My Yandere Sister loves me too much! was released on Steam on October 16, 2020 and was developed by Norn and published by Cherry Kiss Games.

This visual novel follows the adventures of the Yuu who has an older sister that due to circumstances lives with him. Both of them have jobs and while the Yuu works in an office his older sister Airi has made a career out of working from home. Things seem to be pretty normal for them...except they are not. 

Airi has always been very fond of her little brother and takes care of him. However, this behavior didn't stop when they got older. Even at their adult ages she still does things that to others would seem a bit...more than a sister should, ranging from feeding him to taking showers and baths with him. 

 

Airi on the outside seems very generous, fun, caring, and a very beautiful woman to boot. However, deep inside she is dark, borderline schizophrenic, processive, and has a deep desire to be with her younger brother as more than a sister.

Airi shows how far she is willing to go when the Yuu mentions to her that he's been invited to a mixer by several friends from work to meet with the ladies of their office. This sends Airi into a quiet smoldering state that pushes her hand to take matters into her own hands.

After forcing the protag to not attend the mixer she begins to make regular appearances to his office building under the pretense of bringing him lunch or to eat lunch with him. Eventually she even starts making remarks about having to, "remove" certain ones that he associates with. 

All these events come to a head and eventually Airi finally admits to Yuu what it is she wants. At first Yuu is taken aback by this revelation as he knows that what she's asking for is against the law...and morally unjustifiable. But eventually after some...persuading in the lustful and flesh like manner he realizes he has the same feelings for her that she has for him, (at least that is how it is stated). 

With Airi and Yuu now on the same page they start to create a life together that gives them the freedom they need to explore their 'love' for one another while not being exposed. Yuu quits his job and soon finds himself in the same style of work as Airir which allows him to work from home. Thanks to modern technology they are able to do everything they need from their home without having to leave. 

While there is more, I think you get the point, and while this is a very short VN and one dedicated to the more...darker and immoral it still has its good points and one that if your not morally squeamish you could play in an hour or so and not be bothered.

  

Cafe Stella and the Reapers' Butterflies (Mei's Route)

 

Mei's route was the first one I went with, though in all honesty I wanted to go with a different girl's route but I found out that her route was locked until you finished one of the other girls stories...so I went with Mei.

Mei along with Nozomi are the youngest girls that work at the Cafe. Unlike Nozomi however, Mei didn't know the protag until after they were introduced to one another when she applied to get the job at the Cafe. 

Mei's cheerful and straightforward attitude makes her one of the favorites of the Cafe. She's also a quick learner and can adapt easily. She is one of the most positive members of the team and through helping others she becomes a love interest to the protag. 

She really starts to shine during an incident in which a little girl wonders into the shop looking to have a special cake made for her father due to him having a rough time at work. Mei takes care to keep the girl occupied until such time as the mother can come pick her up and even afterword's she keeps tabs on things. 

The Cafe of course takes the little girls requests and when they actually meet the girls dad, Kanna and the protag see the butterflies or 'soul fragments' around him. They help the little girl and her father by removing the butterflies and by helping the father realize just how good of a doctor he was.

It is during this time that Mei begins to have he own troubles from a past friendship gone sour.

It is at this time that the protag and Mei begin to start to get close and their relationship blooms as our protag begins trying to help Mei with her issues with a former friend and former partner on the high school swim team. It is also during this build up that Mei lets the protag and Kanna in on a secret that she's been keeping...she can see the butterflies.

It is her special gift known as the "Bug Eating Eye" that has also been the cause of her struggles through life. Able to see the lights of soul fragments at an early age she told her parents about it as well as some friends. Over time her friends shunned her and her parents grew distant from her. It was at that point she distant herself from others and no longer spoke about her 'gift'.

It wasn't until when she was much older and joined the swim team that she started to use her gift to remove the lights from around her friends on the swim team in order to help them get over fears and stigma's. One such girl began to rely heavily on her 'gift' or 'spell' as the swim team would call it. However, eventually Mei would feel like her 'gift' was more of a curse and soon she no longer provided the 'gift' to her friends. 

This small act left a divide between the team and to ease that Mei left the team.

Eventually, the two former friends and teammates have a final confrontation, it during this that Mei through mental stress begins to draw a massive swarm of butterflies which could cause a huge problem for everyone in the area. It also summons the one person to her side that she has absolute faith in in the world, the protag.

It is during this incident that she is finally able to do the one thing that she's been training to do for a short time, not only can her eye capture the butterflies but she learns how to release them as well. This means she can capture and release the butterflies at will which will help the Grim Reaper Kanna to do her job.

In the end, she makes amends with her friend and she starts to help Kanna with her work not only at the Cafe but also as a helper of the Grim Reaper. And obviously she sticks with the protag.

Mei's route is actually rather long but it isn't bad, and because of her traits the dialogue can get pretty funny between her and the protag. 

Siscon Saturday Sister of the Week

Siscon Sister of the Week

Takanashi Ako

 This weeks Siscon Sister of the Week goes to Takanashi Ako of the Visual Novel 'Making Lovers'. Making Lovers was released on Steam on April 3, 2020 and was developed by SMEE and published by NekoNyan Ltd.

Making Lovers unlike most Visual Novels is a straight up love story between the protagonist and one of 5 different love interests. Where most games tend to focus on the before the relationship starts and ends when the dating begins, Making Lovers focuses on the relationship after dating begins.

To that end Making Lovers protagonist has the ability to fall in love with and date his sister Ako. Even before the two start their more romantic relationship they have a special relationship and even their parents seem to have noticed it early on and played the silent observers.

Ako is a friendly, fun loving and straight forward girl that isn't afraid to work hard and do what needs to be done to get what she wants. She is very supportive of her brother and her family and can be embarrassed easily by talking about the more 'sexual' aspects of life.

Their relationship begins to build steam after they start working together at the same restaurant and as other women take a small interest in her older brother she begins to realize that she has more than the standard 'sisterly' feelings.

Ako is a very reliable and cute girl that its no wonder that the brother could fall for her. 

If this Visual Novel isn't in your collection I do highly recommend it.

Cafe Stella and the Reaper's Butterflies

 

Cafe Stella the Reapers' Butterflies is a Visual Novel released on March 25th 2022 and was published by NekoNyan Ltd. and developed by YUZUSOFT. At the time of this blog the current Steam rating of this game is pretty high with Recent Reviews listed as "Very Positive" and All Reviews listed as 'Overwhelmingly Positive' with over 1K reviews.

Cafe Stella the Reapers' Butterflies follows the story of Takamine Kousei, a college student that lives an average and uneventful life. However, that all changes when one day he tragically dies in an accident. Despite that however that is not how the story ends, through unusual circumstances Takamine is taken back to the day of the accident and given a second chance. 

Takamine is as you can imagine confused and taken aback by this sudden change of perspectives going from person bloodied and dead on the sidewalk to being back to his room the morning of the accident. And it is here that the story really starts to pick up steam. 

Sumizome Nozomi is Takamine's childhood friend and the first girl that is introduced, in Anime Lore this would make her best girl, though as we all know this is a Visual Novel so you get to decide that course luckily...not that I have anything against her or anything.

Nozomi is a very cheerful, kind, and straightforward girl and though she is younger than Takamine, because of their long time friendship since childhood she is more blunt than normal around him. This makes their dialogue sometimes read like a comedy skit though it adds a lot of comedy to the VN as a whole. 

Her family owns a shinto shrine as well as other business ventures such as a set of apartments that Takamine resides in. Nozomi helps her parents with the shrine work from time to time but spends most of her time doing the normal Highschool girl routine of school work and study.

While you meet Nozomi pretty much from the word go, her role doesn't really take shape till later in the storyline. 

After the accident Takamine will later meet a new girl and this one will play a bit of a more vital role...at least for him.

Akizuki Kanna introduces herself to Takamine after they have a run in when Takamine meets Kanna's long time friend and partner who just happens to be a talking cat.

Kanna is a death goddess or Reaper who has lived for over 100 years. Due to her many years of living she has a great amount of difficulty operating modern-day technology, instruments, tools, and her worldly knowledge is at about the level of a grandma.

Even though she has lived for over a century she is a very down to earth person, she's friendly and easy to get along with and at times can be teasing of Takamine.

As a Reaper, Kanna has the job of collecting soul fragments and souls that she then sends back to God. She has the ability to see things that the normal person can't, though Takamine has the ability to see them too thanks to the accident that technically killed him.

After meeting with Kanna who has him accompany her to a small unopened Cafe when they first meet he is then introduced to another possible love interest, one that he knows of but doesn't really know.

Natsume Shiki is a fellow college student that attends the same University that Takamine attends, she also has the nick name the 'Solo Sniper', due to her cold calculating persona that involves her never going out with any of the guys that ask her out.

Though that is what people think of her, despite her cool and calm appearance the truth is she simply has trouble expressing her emotions.

Natsume is rather innocent and with the slightest mention of anything sexual she will blush ear to ear.

Natsume is also the proprietor of the Cafe and it was her idea to start the business venture. She at first has a very skewed image of what she wants with the Cafe, but with Takamine's help her dreams of opening a flourishing Cafe comes true.

Natsume also has a secret that if you choose her route she will tell you...and it is something that connects Takamine to her in a way that none of the other girls have.

Takamine agrees to help with working at the Cafe as part of his agreement to help Kanna and her partner with the soul reaping issues. One of the things he does to help out is seek out hired help. After getting Nozomi to help out he is introduced to a friend of Nozomi's that as you guessed can also become a love interests.

Hiuchidani Mei is a spirited young girl that is full of energy. She is straightforward and her personality type would make you think she would never tell a lie at all. She has some trouble processing complicated things and so she prefers to keep things simple and easy to understand. 

Mei has a very childish side to her and she loves stuffed animals and pretty much everything that is cute. She also enjoys being pampered which is why she hates doing chores at home, and yet she is a hard worker at the Cafe.

Mei also has a hidden talent that should you choose her as your interest, she will show you and it is one that is actually pretty nice.

She used to attend the same school as Nozomi but several years ago she left that school and started going to an all girl school which leads to some interesting ideas and concepts that she speaks with the other girls that makes some interesting dialogue.

Finally, Takamine seeks out someone that can help the Cafe via the kitchen and in doing so he is directed to a slightly older woman that actually lives in his apartment complex and he goes to school with her younger brother.

Shioyama Suzune's route is unique as it has to be unlocked by completing another girls route. Suzune's route is also pretty short compared to the other girls which is kind of sad as I actually did like her route pretty well.

Suzune is the Cafe's patissiere and is the older sister of Hiroto who's is Takamine best friend in collge. She has a friendly, candid personality, but can also be rather lazy. Due to her lazy streak she doesn't tend to take care of her apartment and lives by herself.

Suzune takes her work at the Cafe however very seriously and isn't one to slack off. Her dedication to the art of pastry's makes her very particular about her sweets and she stays true to her methods when it comes to making them. However because of this trait she tends to butt heads with those that disagree with her methods and ways.

Takamine through the story gets close with each of the girls and though you eventually will want to pick one or the other his very helping nature helps all the girls in some form or fashion.

Overall, the story is very well written. I enjoy the dialogue between the characters as they do a good job at keeping the story moving while also adding comedy to the situation. Art wise the VN is well drawn and meets the quality you should come to expect from NekoNyan. The music is also well composed though honestly I don't usually listen to the in game music when playing but from what little I did hear I could see that it went well with the scenes and the VN as a whole.

As that is a new game that just came out a few months ago it is priced a little higher than most. On Steam Marketplace it is priced at $34.99 which is high for a Visual Novel under normal circumstances. However, I can see that with the nice artwork, music, and the 18+DLC that you can get I can see why the price is high. I personally think that it is well worth it.
