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.

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! 👀

"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.

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...

(VOLUME WARNING)
Today I'm thinking about the time I tried "Sakura Wars 2" in that new Sega Saturn emulator "Ymir" & its audio issues in it were so funny that it brought me to tears.
