Pretty awesome stuff, nice to see coverage in the mainstream.

I saw a couple posts about it on Kotaku before, but not an all out review. Nice to see any OELVN getting coverage like this, especially POSITIVE coverage.

The escapist is quite a bit more negative, but it still seems to end on a rather positive note as well.

You see this? Lol. Kenji got his own game. I haven't gotten passed Lilly, don't have interest in the game much to try harder. :o

Never mind this. I replied wrongly since I misunderstood the content of previous post.

I love it! It's fun. Reminds me of Castlevania. But damn, it's almost as hard. I was stuck att Lilly for ages. :lol:

My 1st post. My 1st VN. I must say, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Played just about every scenario available and found myself teary eyed in every one. I'm 62 for crying out loud. While reviewing cetain scenes dialogue could definitely be better but with nothing to compare it to at this point I'm impressed at the amount of work that goes into any VN. I tip my cap revealing lack of hair on top to all you artists both visual, sound, story and dialogue. I am totally jealous of your skills and look forward many more VN's inthe future.
Any suggestions as to what I should play next?

Narcissus is an excellent visual novel. Short, but very moving.

Yeah, it took me until now to finally give the full version of KS a chance. I have now read the bad ending, and I will eventually read at least one character path. It still baffles me that it has a good reputation, for the following reasons...

* It's only BxG. I figured most fans prefer either varied pairings or no pairings.
* It has some NSFW content. I figured most fans were only interested in worksafe material.
* It's just a visual novel. I figured most fans look for gameplay, and have little interest in stories.
* It seems sincere. I figured most fans prefer broad comedy and parody.
* It's written by English speaking individuals. I figured most fans assume that anything tagged as "OELVN" is a cheap imitation with poor art and writing. (I don't personally believe this, but...)
* It's freeware. I figured most fans believed in the motto "you get what you pay for."

You forgot one reason:

It originated on 4chan.
