I reviewed the English translation of a freeware visual novel called io [Christmas Eve] on (when else?) Christmas Eve. The original Japanese game was released in 2005 and the patch was released that same year. However, the game was updated in 2006, which broke the patch. In 2022, an independent translation group fixed the original 2005 patch so that it works with the final 2006 version of io [Christmas Eve]. This visual novel is Windows only (written in KiriKiri), but I was able to run it on Linux with the patch -- it requires a Japanese language environment and it works best in virtual desktop mode. I did have a minor font size issue -- but because I could read everything, I did not look too deeply into it.
