This is an interesting idea for a game genre, it’s basically a roguelite visual novel. If that makes any sense. But not in the Hush Hush sense where it’s a dating sim with NG+ for the true end. It’s a vn with meta progression and short burst gameplay.

Naughty House V.16
H Scene Count- I think it was 175 unique “scenes”.
Created by DrNaughty
Length- 3 hours or so, like 1 if you follow the guide
HTML game with achievement style progression. You basically do a run of events, and run out of options of things to do then reset and try to reach different stat thresholds and relationship statuses to get content and different ending slides.
I know the actual release is at .17 already but I took my sweet time releasing this.

H Scene Count- 25 scenes, 5 ending slides
Created by Sloth Gamer
Length- 3 hours or so for a run
An idol raising sim built in RPG Maker. You won’t notice it’s built in RPG Maker unless you look at the files though. Played because the cheerleader outfit is 100% one of the hottest images I see when glancing through things.

H Scene Count- No idea, it’s hard to get an idea
Created by Lotrum
Length- Varies a lot by your goals. A run by the end took around 3 hours for me.
The first HTML based game for the blog, this game is a dating sim roguelite. If that makes any sense. I kind of got addicted to the game for a bit, I’ll explain the why in the gameplay bit.

H Scene Count- 24
Created by a Chinese group, Localized by Mango Party
Length- a run is like an hour or so, it has 8 required runs to 100%. So around 10 hours if you get through in one try.
Roguelite deck builder with a cultivation theme. Very animated. In battle is just constant bouncing ass.

A flash series that had it’s last game turned into a Non-Flash buyable product released on Steam. No need to worry about backstory or world lore, this is a mostly standalone entry.
Natalie, the girl above, is the poster girl of fanservice for the whole series, though only 4 and 5 really do much other then have her jiggle. She’s the whole reason I decided this got into the ecchi game list, and I’m glad I played this. It was a satisfying turn based RPG.
Continue reading[Ecchi]Yu-No Remake
Ah, yes. Yu-No. it got a remake based on its 15+ PS2 port a while ago and I figured I’d add it to the ecchi game list. Honestly remakes are in a weird grey area when considering how to treat them, is it a censored porn game cause the original was? Or is it all ages since it was designed that way based on an already done all ages port? Meh, who honestly cares? Play your preferred version, it’s not like this and the original Yu-No are actually competing.
This isn’t going to be a standard review post. I’ll talk about my feelings of Yu-No based on my old memories, comment on this remake, then talk about dating sims, adventure games, and visual novels.

1/10. How dare they put Rixia into the post final boss cutscene for like a minute and then not put her in the party for the postgame but give you Fei who also only shows up in that same cutscene.
Ahem. Daybreak 2 is a sequel to Daybreak, but not really to the Trails series. As in it does very little for the overall story, instead giving small character arc steps for the core cast in different ways. It also adds back in a bunch of missing stuff from Daybreak 1, like a card game. And plentiful ingame costumes.
Like the rest of the Trails series, just going to talk through some thoughts and general impressions. No full category talk stuff here.
Continue reading[Ecchi…barely]Death end re;Quest
In my continued quest to get through all of Compile Hearts/Idea Factories fanservice games I finally went through their most serious title. If Fairy Fencer was an attempt at being serious Neptunia with a 50/50 split on silly and serious, Death end is Neptunia if you inverted the tone entirely. 90% serious, 10% silly.
The game is 60%~ VN and the rest is turn based RPG in a similar vein to Neptunia.

H Scene Count- 89 + 6 alternate versions
Created by Alicesoft, translated by Shirvavune
Length- 30 hours or so
Finally finished this. Dohna Dohna is Alicesoft’s 30th year celebration game. It’s a mix turn based and management sim. It’s probably most well known for it’s art style. It’s one of the more recommended games for me to play, so I did it. I… didn’t care for it.
