The Snowy Owlbear ⛄❄️🌨️🏳️‍🌈3d ago

I... haven't been very active on here today, have I? Well, we got like a foot an a half of snow here today (that's about 45 cm for people using a sensible measurement system), so there's been a lot of shoveling.

Also, I'm tired and grumpy. But not too grumpy to do my game recommendation early tonight!

So, the Owlbear isn't really that into #VisualNovels. I had a lot of fun with Doki Doki Literature Club of course (who didn't?) but it's an anomaly in a couple different ways, not least of which that it's an actual game.

But that doesn't stop me from absolutely loving one with adorable clean art, wonderful characters, and charming stories... which brings us to A Year of Hot Springs.

Actually a collection of three short VNs about friends spending time at a hot spring resort, these tales have charm to spare, and hold a special place in my heart.

Love 'em all. Two Paws Up from the Owlbear.

I have been writing about my play-through of Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE: Encore (see prologue, chapter 1, and first intermisson takes). I am in the middle of chapter two. While playing chapter 2, I completed a side quest for Kiria Kurono. I played White Album back in 2023 (after having watched the peculiar anime adaptation of White Album and the very good adaptation of White Album 2). Kiria and Tsubasa Oribe are starting to remind me just a little bit of White Album’s Yuki and Rina (even more so given that Tsubasa looks a bit like Yuki). Just waiting to meet Yuki’s cousin and Rina’s brother. Things could get interesting here.I will submit for the record that I made an accurate character survival prediction in Danganronpa 3 based on having read the unrelated Umineko: When They Cry. (Note I do not actually think this will turn into a White Album situation).

[Note] White Album Vibes in Tokyo Mirage Sessions

The dynamic between Tsubasa and Kiria in Tokyo Mirage Sessions reminds me slightly of Yuki and Rina in White Album.
