Review: Nil Admirari no Tenbin: Teito Genwaku Kitan
ニル・アドミラリの天秤 帝都幻惑綺譚 Completion date: September 19, 2025 I started this game and finished Hisui route last year, but for some reason I just abandoned it? Wasn’t even a full drop; I think work just got busy. I have known of this game pretty much since its release on PSV in 2016 – I never had…

Review: BUSTAFELLOWS Season 1
Completion date: July 20, 2025 Along with Gensou Manege, I started this game in early 2025, January to be exact. This is a long review. Quicklinks: Mozu/Scarecrow/Limbo/Shu/Helvetica/Final Thoughts I only played the happy endings for this game. As the game advertised, the play order does not matter because you’re experiencing each character’s individual story and…

Review: Gensou Manège

Review: Birushana Senki ~Ichijuu no Kaze~ (Birushana FD)
ビルシャナ戦姫 ～一樹の風～ Completion date: February 27, 2025 Overall rating: 6/10 Worth the time and money (I’d wait for a sale) if you enjoyed the first game. The highs are really high but the quality of writing in different routes is inconsistent as are the CGs. Shana fortunately manages to slay in all of the CGs,…

トラブル・マギア ～訳アリ少女は未来を勝ち取るために異国の魔法学校へ留学します～ Completion date: February 5, 2025 From Wand of Fortune we dive into Otome Hogwarts but in 2024. Like many, I initially bought this game without high expectations given all the hype last year around new J-otome releases are Uchronia, Matsurika, or Mistonia. I am a longtime fan of the artist Suzunosuke, who is…

Review: Wand of Fortune R
Replay date: January 29, 2025 Given the amount of miscellaneous content this game, I feel obligated to disclose that I did not play Elbert, Ami, Edgar content, but went through all of the main LIs’ stories, liar cards, after stories, and that game where you increase affection. You may notice the screenshots have 2016 or…
