Don't forget about the incest bdsm, but not really incest / your daughter is your wifes sister who died and lived in your wife before being reborn as your daughter / and god damn cannibalism. Among other more tame things such as abductions and cheating.

And their next releases went with full-blown biological incest. Still, to each their own.

Outside of the piss scene (which isn't sexual and while weird is strangely uplifting) the first two thirds of the game is a fairly cute story about love and attending nursing school. And 1 or 2 of the endings are perfectly normal. The rest of the game is just batshit crazy though.

what the hell did you just play
Im not sure I will ever know the answer. I may be haunted for the rest of time.


In other news I got my copy of Chasm from EAS finally. Looking forward to playing it. But I will probably knock out some multiplayer trophies in other games first.

People who are hungry for yuri content on consoles. There are some okay routes in these games, but there are some borderline unplayable ones. Wish we could've gotten games like Flowers instead of these.
Maybe if Jast finishes the PC releases, we could get the Switch/PS4 ports someday.

Sounds like it reads like a fever dream lol.

I'm still uhm-ing and ahh-ing about whether I want to play the NLA and YR games. I owned NLA and NLS but sold them earlier this year when I was going through a bit of a clear-out of my collection and thought I'd never play them.

I've loved a lot of visual novels of Vita but those don't sound like my cup of tea at all.

If anybody is even considering Unmetal I'd check out the demo on steam. I was on the fence but I really enjoyed the humor and gameplay of it so i decided to use some of my Playcoins and get it since I don't think there's that many interesting releases left that could happen outside of Timespinner and unless a miracle happens, Prelude to the Fallen, which is a shame since that game seems to be out of print since launch

By the way, have people noticed how it's "possible" for western companies to reprint their titles in Asia? Aksys has since released a reprint for Muramasa Rebirth in Asia without the ESRB logo.

Wondering if anyone can answer this query I have, since I can't find a solid answer online: I've downloaded a few games on my PS3 to transfer to my Vita and remember there was a bug or something when using the 2-step verification that meant you couldn't transfer - did that ever get fixed to allow transferring with it active, or do I need to disable it while transferring? Thanks.

Anyone know of an affordable and good grip with L2/R2 buttons? I've been looking around, but the one everyone raves about from Hori costs about as much as a used Vita.

it says the release date on that was in 2013, sure this isn't just an old release?

Interesting, so the asian print is old and not actually something recent.

Amusingly just after publishing that article I've found out that the devs of Drifter are still claiming it's coming to Vita:



Another one like Heart Forth Alicia which was announced in 2014 and still isn't finished. I was super hyped for this back in the day, but that was when there wasn't much else like it on the market.

Steam reviews say it hasn't been updated since 2017 and is still in Early Access, so I'll believe it when I see it.

The devs still insist it's coming to Vita, and at this point if you were gonna cancel it you'd just do it like every other Kickstarter on the market.

That said, the Heart Forth Alicia devs are saying the same thing and I've little hope that'll actually happen.

What did I just read up top. Like the summary of a Takashi Miike film

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but man it sucks that Sony destroyed their online store. I assume that means Vita games won't ever go on sale again

Upon the heat death of our universe, a new one will take place. Maybe in that one, 14 billion years after its formation, there will be a Sharin no Kuni Vita release.

Today one year ago we last heard about the physical copies of VVVVVV. If they were made why have the not been sold yet? It hurts.

on the subject of this and 1001 spikes, i saw the other day that josh had a theory they don't actually exist and only the samples that they made are the only existing copies because they probably missed out on the 2019 deadline
