Looking back at what we did in July, a lot of it falls under the category of "can't share any details with you right now," but that just means we'll have some extra-exciting updates in the future. As far as what we can talk about, well… The biggest news, of course, was the launch of the Switch ...

Hope you're having a good July. Summer is in full swing here and it's hooooot. So, what better way to celebrate than with a cool visual novel in a snowy forest? Of course, I'm referring to the recent Switch release of "Heart of the Woods," which has somehow already been out for a week. We've seen a wave of...

In hindsight, leaving the train might not have been the best idea. We've been walking for hours now, with nothing to guide us except for the slowly-sinking sun. Under normal circumstances, I'd hardly complain; I'm used to walking for long distances, for one, and the views within this forest are particularly pleasant, but thes...

Of all the buildings I've seen in this country, there are few as far from Streician design as Solais Station. The station's high ceilings, dark colors and recurring use of cubes and rectangles in its architecture put it in an entirely different category from the low, white, circular room I'd found Alessia in, and yet strangel...

Meowdy! Last year, we posted the individual character introductions for the Samayuuni cast. We've now collected them all into one post for easy viewing!
