Eroge minus Ero, take two: TroubleDays

More Switch gaming, this time Qureate’s visual novel “TroubleDays”. No, there’s no space in the name.  Yes, it bugs me too. If I had a nickel for every story I’ve seen where the plot goes something like “Succubus is sent … Continue reading

Eroge, hold the Ero.

Another day, another short Switch game.  This time, Qureate’s KukkuroDays, an all-ages (well, ESRB Teen) version of a decidedly NOT all-ages visual novel the publisher sells in an uncut version on Mangagamer and other purveyors of anime smut. I’ll lead … Continue reading

2017 was great, and I wanted to gush a bit.

I don’t usually do a “Favorite Games of the Year” post, because there really haven’t been a lot of years where I’ve played games that actually came out that year. Usually I get around to titles after they’ve been priced … Continue reading
