It's been a long road, but Ys vs Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga is finally out today.

Thank you for every message, every word of support, and for your patience.

We promised 2025 and we kept that promise.

You might really like Gurumin! It's on 3DS (digital only tho) and is a cutesy 3D action platformer made by Falcom!

"Neko na Kankei" is a galge for PS1 made by Victor Interactive Software with a twist. In the day, you bond with heroines as a human but at night, you turn into a cat! As a cat, you are given a chance to overcome shyness while in turn see the "true", private side of a heroine.

Cola put together a great comparison thread on this demo a couple years ago on the other site so if you're curious about its differences, check it out! x.com/melonc0la/st...

Ohoo I found the "Kanon Demonstration Demo" on a disc from 1999 before the game's release. The demo was included with "Kanowo Magazine" in 2000 & has art differences from the final game.

I don't think there's anything new in this ver. but I'm still excited to have found it! 👀

The download link for the Noemi Itou desktop accessory still works & can be found on the site's "Accesary" page if you want her to sit on your windows! web.archive.org/web/20010223...

"Noemi Itou Chan FC" was a fan club created by "DRA" in 1998 dedicated to the popular "With You ~Mitsumeteitai~" character "Noemi Itou". The site had amassed more than 500 members before closing on 11/2/2001.

8 hours is a long time to get used to something that's for sure. I hope you still end up enjoying it in the end! 🫠

Aww maybe it's just got a steep learning curve? I've heard so many good things about it so it's gotta be worth mastering...

This heroine from the unreleased "Doukyuusei 3" basically feels like my archivist muse so I should really c*mission some fan art of her at some point...
