I celebrate White Day with Boku no Shokora, an unofficial English translation of an over-the-top doujin visual novel that comes with an entire “White Day Scenario”

I review Insani’s 2008 local treanslation of Satomi Shiba’s excellent doujin freeware visual novel, True Remembrance.

I rank the top 10 visual novel translations to emerge from the 31 pieces translated for the 2005, 2006, and 2008 al|together festivals.

The second part of my al|together visual novel ranking covers the ten translations I have ranked 20-11.

The first of three legs of my al|together visual novel ranking covers novels 31-21 on my list.

The most difficult part of my al|together visual novel review project was finding what I needed to run Midsummer Haze…

I reviewed Midsummer Haze, the translation of a doujin freeware Japanese visual novel. It took some effort to find what I needed to run it and even more effort to get through a certain random trigger mechanic.

Running the original 2005 Yuuki!Novel version of Tegami on top of WINE (and learning about a defunct Japanese visual novel engine in the process)

Reviewing Collage, a translation of a freeware 2004 Japanese visual novel told from the perspective of three young adults in the city.

All it took was properly configuring and running Fluidsynth and loading three ALSA kernel modules.

A Christmas Eve review of a freeware visual novel localization called io [Christmas Eve].

We review a very pretty gray-scale visual novel set on a nearly empty train.
