Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi does an Atelier Totori on PSN!

I think Askys must be having an off day. They released Hakuoki (sequel thing) for PSP/PSVITA in the UK or I'm guessing- Europe.
Not so long ago they released this game on psp in america but people were complaining that they could not get it onto their Vita's.
Now, facing no applause or announcement, what-so-ever, they release the worst of the 2 hakuoki psp games onto the european systems without letting anybody know about it until they scour the new PSN updates. Apparently us in europe don't like reading- pft...
This may have worked out well for Atelier Totori which is part of a series and many of us were willing to shell out £35 for it (insane considering I already own it on ps3) and here they put out a title that has had no release of Demon of the fleeting blossom, which most of us know to be a VN most of us imported, meaning most other gamers will have no clue what it is.
The game play is like Dynasty warriors but, for the love of god, do not set it on easy, enemies just stand still and take it. It has anime cutscenes, it has the original Hakuoki story without all the reading as well as an additional story to entice people to buy it.
The game is just shy of £20. Go watch some videos for it and make your own assumptions before you buy it but if you've been waiting for it? It's here, and they told no one.

p.s I'll probably buy it after payday so I can look at hijikata in hd.

Hadaka Shitsuji Walkthrough- Sakuma Kyoichi


 Well that took longer than I thought. If you've followed my toudo route you will already have some of the endings, feel free to check ahead and avoid redoing the same things. It'll save you some time. Sakuma's story is kind've sweet but kind've dull and doesn't have so many alterations  as Toudo's. Once again though, we're missing 3 panels. If I don't find them by the end but you guys do feel free to put them in the comments.


In my game you can't skip pre watched scenes until ichinose appears. Then you skip like mad.

Day 2 Sakuma's room, sleep (Am I the only one who finds the word butlerliness amusing? Why not                                                                  butlerishness.)

Steams' Anti VN Stance! Or at Least Its' Communities!

A new game has popped up on Steam Greenlight. Steams new service for getting the public to approve niche games coming onto its "network." Basically enough people approve it and say they will buy it, they will let you. This weeks cannon fodder is called- Princess Battles.

You can view the game here and obviously over on steam.

The art isn't heart thumping amazing and it has a card game attribute which could be off putting for many but we all know we are starved of otome games here in the west. The last game Steam let slip through was Cherry Tree High Comedy Club, well over 6 months ago. Each time a VN appears we are greeted with these "swell comments"

"I'm pretty sure the developers would lose more money than they would make with this game. A very small fraction of the steam community plays games like this, not enough to make a substantial amount of money. Just sayin."

"All these japanese pop culture games appeal to only a specific part of the steam community. The rest of us truly have no intrest in game like this, sorry."

"This game should be put into a potato sack, lit on fire and beaten before being tossed into the lake, So no."

On the one hand, maybe they are realistic, and there are many more comments like them, but what we need is to get all the VN lovers and otome fans to migrate to steam and approve as many of these kinds of games as we can. 
There's no reason we can't have our own section on steam and if you get popular on there it can only encourage more people to bring otome games over. They already do the eroge games quite happily but games that are aimed at women with no sex are a no no for some odd reason. 
By no means am I blaming Steam for the way the community react to otome, most often it's their chromosomes getting in the way, but they could help. One day.

Go approve, and in the meantime go check out zeiva's demo for X-note as their next game, Area X, is coming out sometime soon. If this area grows in the west, maybe someone will bring over Uta Pri.

Yattaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! God this VN malarky is alot of hard work, and there are still 7 panels missing. I found the japanese guide and I'm working through it and fixing any errors from google translate so at least now it's easier once I've guessed which option is which. Hope this helps people. This route was bloody tough.

Hadaka Shitsuji/ Naked Butler Walkthrough

I've just started playing the game and decided if I work out any routes and endings I may as well post them here. Be warned, this game is filth, I'm obligated to say this because normal society states that every site should. This game is not for children and you will find no information from me about the extremely perverted contents (except I think women will enjoy it more than gay men).

Moving on-

I'm working on Toudou Aki's walkthrough. To date I have found the routes mentioned below but still no good ending. If anyone knows where I am going wrong please help everyones sanity by posting.

Toudou Aki-

Day 2-Toudou, (Komine and Arisato)
Day 3- Toudou and ichinose, sakuma or bed
Day 4- Toudou, bed, Sakuma or ichinose (irrelevant)
Day 5- Toudou, bath or have fun, Sakuma or bed

If you choose bath you get the bad ending if you select to let him wash you, it continues if you wash him. Save before this so you can go back and select have fun, this gives his loyalty talk which I think may be key.

Day 6- Toudou, boss, bed
Day 7- Toudou, bed
Day 8- Toudou, so embarassing, bed
Day 9- Typhoon day- Toudou, watch him
Day 10- bed...
Day 11- Toudou, bed
Day 12- Toudou, bed
Day 13- let the store clerk pick (to be mean to him?) bed
Day 14- Toudou, butler or boxer, bed

Possible key moment but I've tried both with the same ending
Day 15- toudou, call toudou, weight training

By selecting mountain training you can get the bad mushroom ending

Day 16-Just toudou is enough, toudou, toudou
Day 17- Toudou, shady guy
Day 18- Toudou, Shady guy
Day 19- shady guy
Day 20- Still fail, extended to receiving a job from the shady guy for bad end.

IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....where am I going wrong?

I will play through all the routes and as I get it right I will add the perfect route or edit those already up.

UTA NO PRI TRANSLATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi people.
    Just letting you know that I am gradually going to translate through uta no prince sama for the psp and as I translate new lines I edit this post and add to it. I'm sure it's a bad translation but it's the meanings I got when searching for the kanji's.

Today I did one line that my understanding comes out like this:

Idol:
That absolute hand that can't reach but yearns in their duty to believe.
