A Look Into The House in Fata Morgana

fata-pre

Hey all, editor ritobito again! Last month, I walked you all through the demo content of The House in Fata Morgana––the first two chapters, to be exact. Now, with the game’s release impending, I’d like to show you what lies beyond the next two doors in the mansion. Like last time, I’ll try to touch on only the basics to avoid dropping any major spoilers, but if you’d rather go in blind, it should go without saying that you’re probably better off not proceeding. I-It’s not like I wanted you to read this post or anything. Hmph. Continue reading

Tokyo Babel Tester’s Corner Vol. 2

tokyobabel

Some say that the main selling point is the all star voice acting cast, however Tokyo Babel‘s writing is what sold me on it. There was never a wasted actor who only had a few lines because their character was irrelevant. Sometimes the only thing I feel the characters are lacking are their noses in certain poses and CG graphics. Characters that show up in just one route are fleshed out and at times its hard to tell that major side characters aren’t even considered main characters. Even now I can’t decide my favorite character between the heroine Kugutsu Sorami or the side character Camael.

Tokyo Babel Tester’s Corner Vol. 1

Hello, this is Xarrias, and this is my fifth Tester’s Corner for MangaGamer. Tokyo Babel is our first release from Propeller, and I could tell right off the bat that this was going to be interesting. I’ve always enjoyed seeing Japanese takes on Christian mythology, from Evangelion to Shin Megami Tensei. Notably, this visual novel is written by Higashide Yuuichirou. Why is this name important? Well, after finishing this, he ended up collaborating with TYPE-MOON, writing such works as Fate/Apocrypha and collaborating on Fate/Grand Order. Fate/Stay Night is what got me into visual novels in the first place, so that just made me doubly excited for what lay ahead. Continue reading

It’s been quite a journey, and if you’ve been following my blatherings on Twitter, you’re already familiar with just how much I personally adore this visual novel. But it bears repeating: this is a truly special VN, and there’s really nothing quite like it. Continue reading
