“The Atobe group has decided to sponsor a school festival which involves the local schools’ tennis teams. You are a 14 year old heroine who is in charge of managing a team and the festival. Your duties include arranging activities, and organizing people.
You’ll have to get in contact with the members of the team so they can lend a hand, get to know one another, chat with them, and maybe even develop an intimate relationship with one of them” JJewel (translators of Love Revo! And TMGS series) released the unofficial English patch for Prince of Tennis Motto Gakuensai no Oujisama. Which is really great news because this one is better than the other game (Doubles no Oujisama) since this one is really focused on romance and there’s A LOT of guys to date. I’ve had this game for a while now but I only started playing it today. ┐( ̄ー ̄)┌ I postponed playing this game because I read the plot and I was like () the plot is like a tv drama but hey I might as well give it a try. So anyway upon playing this game I realized it’s not dramatic at all. For most of the game you will spend your time working on raising your stats to get the good ending of the character that you want.
The first route I chose to pursue was Aaron’s since his was the easiest one. So you two were a couple planning to get married when you got into an accident. This leaves Aaron with no memory of his recent life, including you. Here’s the map where you get to choose places where you will go. If you are pursuing Aaron’s route, you’ll have to visit him in the hospital but here’s the thing.
There’s his bitchy ex who clings to him a lot taking advantage of the situation claiming to be his girlfriend. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ So if you’re gonna visit Aaron in the hospital do it early like before afternoon then bitch abby will arrive and your visit will not be successful. Sort of a walkthrough:. Duing the first encounter in the hospital and he doesn’t remember you, say you’re a friend. If you find Aaron’s favorite book in the library, choose to give him the book yourself. In the hospital you will see abby and Aaron’s dad, he blames you for the accident choose to: stop talking about the accident.
In the hospital with the birds singing scene, choose to tell him about the park. In the pub you remember a song which Aaron loved and bought a CD to the hospital, Abby will insist choose to not use headphones.
Choose to whistle the song. From time to time, choose to go to the gym, you’ll get a famous basketball player autograph scene (this will increase his love points by 10). Also, in the mall, be sure to buy the Akinara plushie to increase his love. At home when Nina is missing, choose to look for her.
Do those plus maximize the Romance meter and his love and you’ll get the happy ending. Anyway, final thoughts for this game: I like it. (^▽^) I’m still working on finishing the other guys’ route and getting all the endings but overall, I think this is a good game. Plus, the soundtrack is cute too. If you want to play the game, you can download the free demo or buy the full version. 🙂 (๑・ω-)~♥”.
Lately, I’ve been running out of animes to watch (the ongoing animes that I was watching were all finished now.-) so I’ve decided to download some visual novels & simulation games instead. What is a visual novel anyway? A visual novel is a story with pictures in it in a game-like application wherein the user can choose where the story would go and how it would turn out. Some of these I’ve already finished months ago, some I haven’t finished yet. But I’m just gonna list the once I’ve read/played and I will rate it from 1-10 with 10 being the highest based on my own opinion.
Mobile Games. Outstanding and talented students from around the world have gathered together at Moulin Academy High School, a private institution. Beneath the fireworks at a masquerade party, an unexpected romantic encounter takes place.
ME: Basically you get to choose between the four guys there and get an ending depending on the choices you make. The only thing is, for you to play this you will need 10 Koyon for every scene. You can buy koyon from them but if you prefer to not spend money for this, you can wait for your daily 20 koyon for free instead. You can get it on.
ME: Same as Love Academy, in this game once you choose a character, you will only get to play on his route (meaning you can’t go to another guy’s route while playing your chosen route) and make choices till you get an ending. The funny thing about this is that there are only two types of ending: happy end & super happy end. Yup, there are no bad endings for this game.
So if you like light stories and awesome character illustrations, then this game is for you. Note: Only the prologue is free. You’ll have to buy each character in order to play his route. Though you can get each of them for only $3.99! 🙂 My Rating: 9/10. ME: This game is a little more complicated compared to the first two I’ve listed since this games contains features where you buy dresses for your avatar, decorate your room, etc. That are needed to raise the stats for your character.
Anyways, I was not able to finish this game since it required something like koyons from Love Academy, and I was simply too lazy at that time to play the game bit by bit everyday. Anyways I think this has a nice story, a little dramatic since of course the situation of the characters are a little, you know. You can try it by downloading it from the. ME: First of all, I cannot believe this game is for free. Unlike the My Candy Love game, you do not need points to move whatsoever. However, your star has an energy meter for doing acting/singing/modeling jobs. Also, you have a love-meter which increases if you go on successful dates with him.
I’ve finished Touya’s good ending already and now I’m earning money to get a contract with Ren so that I could finish his ending (the star will be yours once you get the good ending, except for Touya who is initially yours already and whose contract doesn’t expire). You can play the game.
I hope you enjoy. A teenager with no name and no home wanders from one city to the next, burdened by the weight of his extraordinary ability.
When he is accused of murdering a woman that he’s never met, he sets out to prove his innocence and find the true killer. The investigation quickly takes a turn for the complicated when a strange voice appears in his head, warning him to watch his step. Every word has a hidden meaning. Every suspect has a secret. Search for clues, interrogate the witnesses, and unravel the mystery before it’s too late. ME: Another one from sakevisual, this is a mystery game wherein you assume the role of the main character, investigate mysteries, and unravel your own character’s mysteries as well. As the series progresses, the closer you get to finding out who your character really is.
I have only finished Jisei and Kansei yet, and I’m planning on playing Yousei very soon. 🙂 If you love solving cases, then I would recommend this for you. This is not a romance VN though. You can buy the games or download the free demos. ME: Another game by Hanako Games (creators of Magical Diary) however this time, it is purely a visual novel. I played Oscar’s route first, the childhood friend route.
I love how Oscar is such a gentleman. The next route I took was Nazagi’s. I wasn’t satisfied with the good ending though, but I won’t spoil anything for you guys.
Callum’s route turned out pretty good, and I loved his good ending. I am still contemplating whether to play Gaston’s route or not ’cause idk about you guys but he seems pretty old to me. And I don’t generally like characters like him so idk.
Anyways, this is a good game. The story is great, and the script is exemplary. The character designs were awesome as well. You can buy the full game or download the free demo. 10 years ago, Essi’s mother died in a questionable accident. She left a USB flash drive with a locked folder called “X-note”.
Unable to understand the purpose of it, Essi continued living her life as a normal junior high school student. However, Essi is hardly normal, for she possesses power beyond normal human. Essi’s quiet life was interfered by a sudden visit of a young man named Yuon.
He invited her to investigate a murder case and a mysterious disappearance in the Xen Institute, a school deeply related to Essi’s mother. Tempted by the possibility of unlocking “X-note” and solving her mother’s mysterious death, Essi decided to take his request. But what awaited her there was a lot more than what she could possibly imagine ME: If you love solving mysteries, completing missions and stuff, then you would probably like this game since this story revolves around the mystery of Essi’s mother and her connection to X. I still haven’t finished this game though, that’s why I don’t know the mysteries yet, including the identity of X. Anyways, you can buy the game. My only complaint is the system. There is no save function which makes it hard for me since I don’t have that much time to finish a route in one sitting.
My Rating: 5/10. In the far future, people live 1000 meters deep underground.
Technology is abundant, but life is a constant struggle. An organization sought to end this by sending people back in time to recover lost natural resources. Elcia is one of such people. As a Time Negotiator, it’s her job to travel across various dimensions and negotiate with people of the past.
However, in a strange twist of fate, Elcia accidentally stumbled upon an unknown dimension known as “Area-X” during her very first mission. Following its discovery, more bizarre incidents and conspiracies awaited her one after another – all of this eventually led to discovering the uncanny nature of the world and how it all ties to Elcia’s very own mysterious past. ME: Yes, it is from the same creator as X-Note, obviously. Now the story of Area-X takes place years in the future after the events of X-Note, but since the heroine here is time traveling, the events vary depending on the character you’re pursuing. Like for example, in Rexus’ case, the events here happened before the events of X-Note. As the creator said, “The events in Area-X is what made Rexus how he is in X-Note.”.
Aside from Rexus, there are also crossovers of characters from X-Note in here like Yuon. Anyways, I honestly liked Area-X more than its predecessor. And like before, if you love unraveling mysteries, then you will enjoy this game. You can buy the game. Christina was the third princess of Almenan, and born in the era of war against the Demons.
Having the status of a “Champion”, Christina had countless battle victories upon her shoulders and was feared by the Demon race. Being the most successful of her three sisters, her mother the queen sent her on a secret mission to assassinate the Demon Lord Gardis in return for his ruthless annihilation of the Kingdom of Crofts.
Obeying her mother’s orders for the sake of her kingdom, Christina set out alongside with her most loyal knight Lezette to take the Demon Lord’s head, and to bring peace to the land. ME: I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this game. I just finished playing it last night and I loved it already even though I only got to play Gardis’ route yet. But I will definitely play Lezette’s and Jin’s soon. If you like supernatural action dark romance, then you will love this. Another thing I loved about this game is that it’s partially voiced!
Too bad the company who made this had shut down already. 😦 But you can still download the game for free!
That is where I got the game since the creator’s site does not exist anymore. So if you guys want to play this game, hurry and download it now. The english patch is in there already as well.
Also, even though the texts are in english, the japanese voices are still preserved. I love this game.
The art, story, and characters of course. ♥.
