► I’ve been checking out some canons based on the Yuletide tagset—mostly things that were already on my radar/that I already owned, but a few things have been new to me.
I started with her tears were my light. It’s a cute, short (as in, it probably took me about 10-15 minutes to complete it 100%, though I didn’t actually time it) f/f visual novel about anthropomorphic versions of Space and Time. It’s also completely free to download. It also happened to be one of the many unplayed visual novels sitting on my computer, which is why I started off with this one.
It’s a very sweet game (with bittersweet moments), but it was actually the mechanics that caught my attention with this one. ( I don’t consider this a spoiler, but you can choose ) So, yeah. I recommend it.
► After that, I started on Date Warp. Another visual novel, this one made by Hanako Games (the creators behind Long Live the Queen!, A Little Lily Princess, Magical Diary, The Royal Trap…). I actually played the demo quite a few years ago, but I didn’t actually buy it until a year or two ago during… either a Steam sale or a Humble Bundle, I don’t remember which anymore.
Anyways. I’m really enjoying this one! I’m not quite finished with it yet, but I’m close—the only route I haven’t gone through yet is Bradley’s.
( cut for spoilers plus length )
► I also read through all of the manga Gokusen, though I don’t have much to say about it specifically. (This was also one of the canons that was completely new to me—I first heard about it from a rec on coal.) It was really, really good—completely sucked me in, though I’d only started reading it on a whim. ( mild spoilers? )
There's apparently also an anime and a drama? But I'm not sure if I'll check out either, yet.
► I did get a little further on Ocarina of Time, but not much—mostly, I was too busy with the above. I’ll wait until I get further to talk more about it again.
