From the New World follows a group of children throughout many years of their lives. Their society is seemingly simplistic, if not intentionally archaic. However, one thing certainly stands out, and it is that everyone who lives there is able to utilize Psychokinesis(PK).

Our story this time is set in a mountain-valley town called Sotoba. It is surrounded on 3 sides by wooded mountains and it is quite secluded. It is a small town atmosphere where everyone knows everyone and secrets and gossip are the main sources of entertainment. However, once a sickness starts to spread around the town people begin to worry. Even worse, the mortality rate for the illness is quite high. Things only seem to be accelerating too.

Shiki is yet another horror series that I picked up. I have been on a horror binge lately and just could not refuse. I thought this one might put me off but I decided on trying it anyways. I am glad that I did! I will not talk too much about the main theme but viewers will pick up on it right away. It is not complicated in the least but I hate giving too much away.

Melty Blood: AACC - Notes

A list of the stuff I wrote down for Melty Blood so I could do a demonstration video on it. It is NOT all-inclusive and exhaustive. However, it's a decent chunk of the mechanics and how different moons differentiate themselves. If there are errors I can easily rectify them. Just let me know!

I have made some corrections as of December 29, 2016

I have never much been one to read for recreation so it comes as a surprise, even to me, that I am here now writing this. Blind purchases do sometimes pay off do they not? This is also the very first Visual Novel I have ever completed. Also keep in mind this is a Kinetic Novel so there is very little interaction with the player.

We open up this story with an assassination attempt by some insurgents against the monarchy of the kingdom. Forced to flee in an unconventional manner our protagonists end up some place that is both unexpected and almost inconceivable.
