I can play. In.

Going to switch my avatar from Secret Game to Raging Loop since one of these has been translated and the other has not.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm working from home anyway...

I played Killer Queen, and I hated it. Is Secret Game better?

Heh yeah Killer Queen is dumb even though I still enjoyed it at the time.

Secret Game is a remake of Killer Queen and it's still not that great, but after that they made a prequel to Secret Game called Code Revise, which I think is actually pretty good, and then after that they rewrote Code Revise and called it Rebellions which I personally think is the strongest title in the series. The problem with the previous VNs is that the director was really bad at writing, but for Rebellions they hired the writing team that did Root Double to "fix" Code Revise. It's more Battle Royale than mafia/werewolf compared to Raging Loop but whatever. I do strongly recommend Raging Loop if you somehow survived Killer Queen.

I'm not sure if Lemnisca has any plans on working on the rest of the Secret Game series after going legit but it would be neat.

Hmmm I don't have anything to do this summer...maybe I'll join a game if it starts...

Nurse Hitomi's Monster Infirmary has a bunch of animal girls, among other things. I just caught up with the Seven Seas publications today.

EDIT:

By the way, @ToonyMan: the team that did Investigations (Takeshi Yamazaki's team) did make Spirit of Justice. They've been responsible for everything after and including Investigations 1, barring Versus Layton and DGS (both of which were projects by Shu Takumi, the series' creator.)

Oh really? I knew Investigations 1&2 and the main Ace Attorney (AA5/AA6) stuff weren't directed by Shu Takumi, but I didn't know they were the same teams. I preferred their spin-off style 2D games.

I'm interested in DGS simply because it's the only one I haven't played.

mwah, hxh has an arc that is genuinely very good somewhere around episode 40(?) or so.
But after that awesome arc there is an extremely meh arc and after that meh arc is an arc that is just plain silly.

plain silly.

I heard that hxh is supposed to be a good show, is it some kind of giant in joke?

I like it.

All the characters are one dimensional, the plot makes no sense and actively contradicts itself, the writing intentionally works against having any kind of suspense and then there's the extremely slow pace,

Slow paced compared to other battle shounens that span hundreds of episodes?

im watching it at 1.5x speed 24 episodes in and it still feels slow. Does it get good later or something?

I feel obligated to mention that YU-NO is one of if not the single best translated visual novel. It's getting a remake release mid-November.

The epilogue spends too long establishing itself before rushing the ending. I didn't find it very satisfying.

On the other hand, the first like 40 hours are pretty good when it's an actual adventure game with divergences and puzzles. Pretty much each "route" had at least one good scene.
