I think you just got me interested into playing this game.

2024-01-06 12:57:41 +0000 UTCWatched the vid and also looked up the pictures for the fan disc... and assuming I am not wrong (just guessing and I won't say my theory here) I am shocked about the plot twist that we get. For a rather straight forward story, that exploded my mind.

2023-11-13 22:53:22 +0000 UTCFinished the vid, goddess I love your work. None of these VNs are a thing I think I could ever bring myself to play even if I could read Japanese, but you always do such a good job of making me get something out of them. You are phenomenal and I hope you have a wonderful day.

2023-11-03 20:37:43 +0000 UTCIt's not that I don't know that eroge can be emotionally moving, it's just that I didn't expect a guro VN self-describing as trash would move me to tears. Thank you for this incredibly visceral and loving rundown of this game.

2023-10-25 04:31:28 +0000 UTCA friend of mine noted how there were a good bit of horror RPG Maker games that also talk about darker themes that most wouldn't touch. Seems that this game helps give evidence to that point in visual novels as well.

2023-10-25 02:49:40 +0000 UTCAppreciate the goreless option. Hemophobia's a bitch, no matter how much I'd like to see it fully uncensored. Also, Chloe is such a mood. All her stuff resonates too much and is even something that shows up in my writing much too often. It really does feel horrible trying to talk to people who don't have permanent conditions of their own, since they don't quite get that particular experience of not being human.

2023-10-25 01:41:46 +0000 UTCAlways look forward to your video essays. I bought Gore Screaming Show to watch the spoiler section of your video on it and have been a Patreon Sub ever since. While many titles are locked behind a a language barrier, I think that eroge has this special something that no other media has and I'm glad that someone is carrying the torch for it. Thank you (PS, Patreon can NOT stop me, you WILL receive my 5 dollars a month.)

2023-10-25 00:36:17 +0000 UTCWhat an amazing video! I’ve never heard of this game prior, so learning about it was a great. You explain the themes so well, and despite such a heavy topic you have a really wonderful way of handling them while also throwing in some bits of humor! Your writing style for scripts is also just.. 10/10. Thank you for the video!

2023-10-24 21:57:32 +0000 UTCi just finished this video and im amazed as always!!! it must take a lot to relate the darker themes to your personal experiences but you're always so eloquent and it helps add an extra layer to understanding the text so as long as its something you're ok with, its such an enlightening part of your videos. it's a shame im awful at learning kanji and not in good health cause i know a decent amount of japanese when it comes to listening, but reading is still a huge barrier to me and this story sounds SO fascinating and up my alley, even compared to what you usually cover. i hope one day i can learn enough to read all these great VNs, and get the mental space to check out the ones that are already translated. queer stories especially feel really important to check out, and this one seems like it has a lot of interesting stuff to say. (PS. i cant say im making much progress on any big creative projects cause of my health rn, but i have a lot of ideas knocking about in my head and even if it sounds weird seeing your shoutouts in the patron break kinda gives me a bit of motivation to want to create said stuff in the hopes that one day i can make some cool shoutout-worthy creations too haha) thanks as always for the great video! im really glad to be a patron 🙇 this is a super random question but have you ever come across any older eroge of interest with non binary characters? as a nb person myself im interested, i know of some from anime and lots of nb-adjacent characters from gacha games and such but not many.
