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.

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 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. 

My Fair Princess

 

My Fair Princess sounds like something that someone like I would play as far as visual novels go. However, I had seen a few good reviews on this one and after thinking about adding more to my growing collection...don't judge me...I decided to go ahead and add this to my ever growing list of Visual Novels, with quiet a few still not played through. I also saw where Denpasoft had the 18+ DLC patch and went to get it, however, I was disappointed as that even though it showed it they showed out of stock. I still don't understand how a digital copy of something can be out of stock, but whatever. Eventually I found another site to get the DLC and I am glad I did.

My only real gripe this early on is the ratios. Sadly in fullscreen mode it causes some distortions on my other monitor it was not designed for the larger and more powerful monitors. But you can make it work, at least I did. I was surprised that there wasn't that many errors in spelling or missing or misplaced text either, that tells me the translation team did a good job. Musically, it wasn't bad, though anymore I just turn the music off and listen to my own radio on Spotify or Youtube Music...I find you can put your own music to these things and make it better, at least I feel like it does.

My Fair Princess takes place at the world-renowned Ryokufuuin Academy where only the famous and wealth kids can go...or at least that was until Satoshi (our MC in this story) begins to attend. Satoshi isn't rich or famous, he's just a normal low income high school teen that goes to school and works to help support his mother, four sisters, and a sheep...yeah I said what you think I said, I said sheep.

So how does a guy that lives off bargains, recycling, and doing odd jobs for food or other things other than money? Satoshi is extremely intelligent and was able to get into the Academy on an academic scholarship which pays for all of his tuition. Because of this he's able to attend the best school on the island and doesn't have to worry about paying for it, which is good because there is no way they could.

Satoshi has a dream of becoming a doctor like his father was and to reopen his fathers clinic, not only that but he's also hoping to use his knowledge in medicine to one day create a cure for the disease that has plagued his mother for years. Satoshi is very family focused and oriented and places his family above all others including himself. 

Satoshi is quick to realize that he's the black sheep of the school though thanks to a minor misunderstanding in which his last name is the same as one of the wealthiest families in Japan people assume that he's the heir to their Conglomerate. As such the other students treat him as though he's one of them and he does everything he can to hid the fact they are wrong. That said, there is one guy that became his best friend almost instantly when they met and he knows the truth.

The first girl you meet is at a party held at the school, she calls you out to dance with her at the party after seeing you in the corner of the room. While Satoshi knows the basics of dancing he's not the best at it, and he only goes to the formals at school because its required to at least attend for a while.

Maiki Hoshikawa is the daughter of two world renown actors that travel the world. As such she has been raised to be a prim and proper lady and taught how to act in high society. Because of her upbringing however she can be a bit naïve and can come off as being full of herself. However over time Satoshi and her become friends and he begins to realize that behind the glitz, clamor, and refined exterior, she is actually a lonely girl that seeks affection from her parents.

While attempting to leave the party he hears a voice in a room in the hall that he's leaving through and decides to investigate. He runs into Kana Takamine while she is running through versus in a play. She realizes that he's there and calls him out to finish the last verses of the play and he does without hesitation.

Kana Takamine is for better or worst the one that stands at the top of the hierarchy due to her being the wealthiest person in school. Being the daughter of the CEO of the Takamine Conglomerate which is the worlds leading financial group, has allowed her to also take the top spot in school as the schools student body representative.

Kana has a cool demeanor, couple that with her grown up attitude she is seen as the embodiment of prestige and wealth. However all that glitz and glamor has taken its toll, the rumor is that no one has ever seen her smile...not once.

After the party the next day Satoshi upon arriving at school is reunited with the one girl that has taken him under her wing and treated like a friend and brother since he started. 

Ayame Enatsu is the daughter of a world renowned manga author and is interested in drawing manga as well. She is Satoshi's upperclassmen and is extremely kind. She also holds Satoshi very close to her heart. I ended up actually doing her route first, but that is another post.

Ayame is also the student body's second hand woman to Kana and spends her free time helping Kana take care of the duties of the school. While there are others that are above her in the social standings she has earned the respect and friendship of Kana and so Kana trusts her completely.

Satoshi then decides to check in on a friend of his that he met not long after coming to the school. She's a bit of an odd ball but that is only because she's true genius scientist, the kind that comes around maybe once a century. 

Hitomi Miyazono is an underclassman of Satoshi and has her own lab at the school where she spends the greater majority of her time at. She is a robotics engineer as well as studies and develops AI systems. She has created the worlds first complete functional maid-robot Chole. 

Satoshi and Hitomi have a routine where they will meet at his classroom before homeroom and talk, if she doesn't show up by a certain time he's to go to the lab and get her which he does often. Hitomi looks up to and admires Satoshi greatly and dedicates time to helping him should he need it, honestly she would do just about anything for him.

At the behest of Satoshi she created what she calls the 'Mage Club' which is a school club dedicated to the occult such as fortune telling and the like. Satoshi did it to help Hitomi to get friends, as a genius she's treated pretty different from everyone else, though Satoshi treats her normally. 

Lastly we are later introduced to Rin. Rin Washio has two sides, the one she shows at school and the one that she shows on stage as a pop idol. Rin is in the same class as Satoshi and is under the care of Satoshi's friend who happens to be the son of the agency that holds Rin's contract, so technically he's her manager unofficially. 

Rin while at school is viewed by the other students as a pain and a handful. Due to her family circumstances Rin has developed an attitude which makes her impulsive, blunt, and a bit hot blooded. This also makes her keep her distance from the rest of her classmates. Usually she is always by herself and seen alone.

All that said, when Rin is on stage though that's when the other side of her shines. She can woo crowds with her charming smile, cute outfits and charm, and make people sway with an angelic voice. It is this complete transformation that confuses Satoshi the most but its not like he's going to say anything about it.

The story of these girls who end up becoming friends with Satoshi becomes complicated later when they find out the truth about his circumstances. In an event in which the girls knowing he's hiding something decides to follow him. As such they find him living in the low income section of the island and living pretty much just above poverty. 

When they find this out Satoshi believes that they will ditch him and his stay at the academy is over, however he's surprised when they all agree that they don't care about his living arrangements, his caring attitude and kindness overrides everything else.

I won't go into great detail on other things that happen, but pending on the girl you choose your story will follow a pretty normal path until you get the girl you want. Then the VN focuses mostly on that relationship. 

I hope you will consider checking this one out, its a bit dated but even so I can say it was a good find and one that I am glad I decided to get.

Happy Sugar Life

 

Recently I have decided to read the Manga series 'Happy Sugar Life'. I have heard about this series for a while now but I just never really had a chance to really get into it. I have heard and seen where there is an Anime version out now and that it is on Amazon Prime Video, but I also noticed that it is currently only Subbed, and as a person that likes Dubbed I haven't heard if or when they will be releasing it on Dub. So it may be something that won't happen so my only option was to read the Manga at this time. 

Currently at the time of this post I have read 4 of the 5 volumes I have. I have the other 5 volumes on order and they should be here next week. In total there is only 10 Volumes to the series. There have been rumors of a continuation of the story but at this time it is only rumor. I will share what I can without actually spoiling all of it so I'll cover the basics of what I've read so far and give some impressions on the overall story.

For those that have either read it already or have seen the anime, you already know that his story is dark, filled with twists and turns and can be a bit sordid. Despite the name and the great looking characters this story is actually not as happy or go lucky as you may think. I kind of knew this going in, but I can say I didn't realize how dark it could get until reading through the first few volumes.

The story revolves around two central characters, however the main character would be the girl named Satou. She is a high school student that at an early age lost both of her parents in a tragic accident. Since then she has lived with her aunt in an apartment. Satou growing up with her aunt was greatly influenced by her aunts unusual and unique mental stances. Because of this Sato would gain a reputation as being 'easy'. 

Satou is a girl that views life and love differently than most, she expresses this by finding herself going out with different boys and usually ends up sleeping with them before she moves on. Sometimes they won't even be dating but she'll make her move on them and most won't turn her down. She has the looks to back up her unique lifestyle and in fact she even has a best friend that does the same thing but not as much as Sato does. 

This lifestyle changes however when Satou meets Shio, an elementary school student who apparently has ran away from home. Satou takes her back to her place and soon she becomes emotionally attached to Shio and a unique and sadistic love forms between the two.

Shio is an elementary school girl that has ran away from home and was living on the streets of sorts. At least she was when Satou found her. Shio instantly got attached to Satou and the two share a unique relationship.

Shio isn't world wise, though this is due to her young age. She is on the outside a very happy girl who adores Satou and expresses this often through their interactions. She doesn't talk about her previous home or what her parents are like. In some cases it is as if she has blocked out those interactions all together.

However, Shio has some unique circumstances of her own, while I won't go into great detail, we'll say that the home situation is and was less than idea, due to witnessing several horrific events and years of coping with other issues Shio has formed a schizophrenic mental state in which in extreme cases of distress she will see shadow figures and hear voices. 

After Shio meets and moves in with Satou, Satou deciding that she doesn't want Shio to be around her aunt decides to take up some part time jobs and with the money she earns she gets her own place that her and Shio can live in. It isn't easy going to school and working only to return late to take care of Shio, but Satou doesn't mind and enjoys every second of it. 

It is during this time that Satou in her own twisted way finds love for the first time even though she knows deep down that it is sordid and morally questionable at best. But despite that she's the happiest she has ever been. She tells her friends she has a boyfriend and that she's settling down and won't be going out with other men anymore. This catches her friend off guard, but her friend is happy at least she found someone.

However, this love is not just sordid...its deadly. Satou while working stumbles into a situation between her and her boss, a woman who feels she's having her beauty and position threatened by Satou. Sato is then taken advantage of by the boss, but only for a short time before Satou retaliates. Satou makes herself a promise, she will anything and everything she has to, to keep her life with Shio intact and happy. 

There have been a few other characters that have appeared, a teacher that even though he's married is an adrenaline junky and enjoys putting himself into positions that he can get his fix. This even includes have sex with students or random women. He finds a target with Satou, but in doing so he soon realizes he's playing with fire and eventually backs off. 

Enter a coworker who has a thing for Satou and she turned him down. However, after an incident with their boss that led him to leave their workplace he's also obtained a bit of complex. After seeing a missing person poster of Shio he see's her as an angel sent to bring him out of the darkness of his life, though that means he also wants her for himself which puts him at odds with Satou.

Other characters come into the picture...some of them don't make it out alive. While I am not done with the manga yet I can see where all of it is going. With Sato protecting her growing happiness and relationship with Shio, she's willing to use any tricks she knows to keep that from ending. 

The Manga is full of suspense, horror, intrigue, murder, and darkness, it is a good read and one that I recommend to anyone that is into the more...dark side of humanity. There are quiet a few people in the manga that have different types of disorder...honestly I feel like there are less people that are "normal" than those with some sort of mental complex.

That said, I will do an updated review once I have gone through all of the manga's. And I will keep my eye out to see if the anime gets dubbed or not.

Amatarasu Riddle Star - Extra Route Rina

 

Part of the 18+ DLC content package other than adding the much desired H-Scenes for the primary routes, is the inclusion of three mini routes that you can also decide to do. The routes are not as long as the main routes obviously and they focus more on the Sexual relations of the relationship between Takaya  and the other characters but they do end on good notes so it works out in the end.

The first route I decided to start with was Rina's Route. Rina is the older sister of Yua and is also an author of multiple books primarily dealing with fantasy and fairy tails. She is several years older than the Takaya and had helped Yua and Takaya throughout the years. However, she had a secret that she kept from both of them, that as they got older she had a crush on Takaya but she never acted upon it because of knowing that her sister Yua also had a crush on him. She also felt bad that she was several years older and Yua was the same age so she had hidden her feelings for him for many years.

On a particular day Rina invites Takaya over to read a manuscript she had wrote for a new book wanting his thoughts on it. When Rina left her room to get them some tea Takaya accidently knocked over a small box from the top of her shelf and the contents spilled out. As he was putting the contents back in the box he saw that the papers had his name on them. It was after reading the first letter that he realized that Rina had feelings for him for quiet some time. 

Upon returning to her room Rina was surprised to see Yua sitting there reading the letters she had wrote to him but never actually gave him. She was embarrassed and nervous about the whole thing and they played it off for a short time.

Eventually however, as you would expect, the two finally confessed to one another and they started dating. Yua despite seeing her sister ending up with the guy she loved, knew for a long time that Rina also had feelings for Takaya as well, so she supported their relationship. 

The story is extremely short and there is a lot left to the imagination and normally that wouldn't be cool, but I can say that I was ok with this ending. It was meant to be a short story after all so I think ending it the way they did was actually pretty smart. I think the story also adds a new dimension to the scenario and story as a whole. It was a simple story of long unrequited love that finally got noticed, though the down side of this story is that Yua who's ben Takaya's best friend for years and one that loved him for so long, now she is left watching her older sister being with the guy she loves. 

When you think of it that way, even this happy story kind of has a dark spot in it. I will also say that the H-scenes are pretty well done and there were several of them so I was impressed with that. I think the DLC content should be gotten regardless but the added stories make it even more worth it.

Amatarasu Riddle Star - Madori's Route

 

Of the five primary routes of Amatarasu, I truly feel that Madori's route got kind of shafted in a few ways. I feel the route took a great deal away from the MC and her interactions and I feel that compared to a couple of the others it wasn't as long. The only one that I think was shorter in play time to Madori's was Ai's. 

While I do think that they took a way from the story slightly with Madori's route they did at least explain a few things that you witness during the standard route. I am not saying that her route is bad story wise, I just think they could have done a little better with the overall feel and length of the story.

Madori is based off the Mad Hatter of Alice in Wonderland. This is actually a really good comparison. Those of you that know the story of the Mad Hatter will agree that Madori's personality does match his quiet well. The reason for this is based on her history and how it developed her mental state as well as how she views people in general.

She seems very friendly and kind and tends to pick on the MC quiet often, however the reality of her state is that she is simply putting on a mask. While she seems nice and kind she is actually doing what she can to keep people at arm length away from her while living the lie of being something she isn't.

As the MC's and he relationship continues to evolve he begins to pick up on these subtle differences between her true feelings and those that she creates to be seen the way she wants to be seen. It is also during this time that the MC begins to realize that something is different about Madori on a different level.

As their relationship changes from one of physical passion to one where Madori begins to see her walls crumble things start to fall apart around the two, and I do mean literally. It is during this time you meet a omnipresent being that takes the form a small hat that Madori keeps on her at all times. 

Boshi is an agent of a realm that keeps the balance between all worlds and attempts to maintain such balance from going out of control. While it doesn't happen often it can happen and it is up to Boshi to ensure that should it come down to it he is required to separate the two worlds by force before both worlds are destroyed.

Boshi however can not do this on his own so he relies on others to help investigate disturbances around the area to ensure that the two worlds do not become unbalanced. It is later that you find out that Boshi has visited this same town and place at an earlier time and that Boshi was forced to separate the worlds to prevent a collapse of both worlds.

As the relationship with Madori and the MC reaches a climax it becomes apparent that the worlds are attempting to collapse and it is up to Boshi who's been with Madori for a long time now to make a choice to either use his powers to converge the worlds or to separate them, either way there is a price to pay for it and Boshi pays the price.

Despite the sacrifice made by Boshi he does end up being allowed to return to their world and once again becomes part of Madori's life. However this time so is the MC. The MC explains that as their relationship grew, the walls around her heart would slowly crumble and eventually the once false face she showed others would eventually go away.

Madori has several more H-Scenes I feel than the others but that isn't a bad thing considering her story is shorter than most of the others. While I did enjoy her story I do think they tried overly hard to create her character to be a bit off kilter than the rest of them. I also found that there was a lot of back and fourth between them that could have been reduced...then again that would have just made the playthrough shorter.

All in all I still enjoyed this route and enjoyed seeing the big mountains she had as well...yes despite her short stature she had some big ol titties that a Man of Culture like myself can really enjoy.

Amatarasu Riddle Star - Ai's Route

Much like Miu's route I felt that Ai's route was a total rollercoaster ride of emotions. The one thing that I didn't like about her route however was that compared to the other girls route, hers seemed to be very short so I felt she got kind of ripped off in that aspect. That said I am not going to say that her story was bad and in fact quiet the opposite. 

Ai's character is based off the Cheshire Cath of Alice in Wonderland. She is usually heard before seen due to her cat bell that she wears at her waist. She is also very cat like with her whims, desire to nap most of the time, and her inhuman like agility and reflexes. She claims to be Takaya's 'Older Sister' though he doesn't understand why she says that.

It is of course hinted at and later confirmed that they do in fact have a past together and that past is the bases for her story and the plot that ultimately will pull at your heartstrings when it comes to Ai.

Ai at first doesn't see herself as a girl that Takaya would find interesting or attracted too, but after the Culture Festival he eventually comes clean about how he feels for her and that leads them entering into a unique relationship. The moment he confesses she practically does what she can to satisfy him sexually. 

Ai tries to get Takaya to have more fun and to expand his horizon and to spend time with her when possible. Of course these leads to a lot of sexual encounters and also led me to realize that apparently 'tit jobs' are a big thing in Japan...not sure why but I don't judge.

The rollercoaster ride however happens sooner rather than later, eventually Ai begins to fade but only slightly and then goes back to normal, people then also start to forget about her and then remember her suddenly. It isn't until Takaya forgets about her for a moment that he realizes something is wrong and begins trying to get her to tell him what it is. Of course she refuses at first.

The up's and down's continue, but they all come ahead after Takaya forgets about her completely as well as everyone else. It isn't until he goes through his computer drawer and finds a couples rings with the inner band of one having 'Ai' engraved in it that his memories of her come rushing back.

Upon remembering everything he finds Ai at Starfall Hill and it is here she begins to finally fade away completely. Ai believes that she is nothing more than a 'shooting star' that comes in for a short time and then leaves just as fast. Because of this belief she is fading, however she isn't a shooting star. In reality she is the embodiment and reincarnation of Aisha. 

Aisha was a cat that belonged to Takaya and his family for many years and spent most of its time with Takaya due to his frail body and weak immune system. She stayed by his side and was always around when he would tell stories about the stars and many other fantasies and fairy tails. One day Aisha would leave the family home and pass away. She believed that she would be reborn in the stars and so she was.

At the end with the assistance of a Divine Being that had watched over all that had happened, Ai was returned back to the world and allowed to stay with Takaya. The ending of this route has the two leaving Takaya's home as they go to reintroduce her to Takaya's friends. Despite Takaya remember her and everything that happened prior to her fading, the others did not remember anything about her.

Ai's route was shorter than the others, with maybe the exception of Madori's. Despite that and the rollercoaster ride of emotions, I can say that her story was pretty good. I do wish that they could have done her story a bit more like Miu's and push things a little more forward to bring some more closure to their story but at the same time I guess I can see why they didn't.

I also enjoyed how this one does talk more about Takaya's past and things that happened to him to make him lose heart in fairy tails and so on. It also touches more as to what it is that caused the worlds to merge slightly and why things are happening the way they are.

All in all Ai's route was good but short, and full of sexual H-scenes which we all enjoy!
