A little bit expensive for my tastes.
Pretty cool though that someone who worked with KS is working on profitable projects now

$10 does seem high. $5 I'd consider... but then I'm very picky and kind of a cheap bastard.

Christine Love is also the creator of "don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story", for reference. That VN fell more than a little flat for me, which also has me hesitant to pay full price.

is there any porn in it

[yummines]

technically this has nothing to do with Katawa Shoujo or disabilities though...

is there any porn in it

Sadly, no. Maybe it's preachiness would have been more bearable if there was some.

[Mirage_GSM]

Not much info there...
Anyone who read it? Is it good?
And I mean the story. Sorry, Raide, for me story is what makes or brakes a VN. Nice visuals are an extra, but I can do without.

[Babli]

Yep, its good. Not a typical visual novel, mind you. It has some classic adventure games elements. I had great time with it.

There's also a sequel/companion game called Digital: A Love Story.

I liked Digital better to be honest. Analogue is decent, but I REALLY don't like the themes and preaching. Too ... heavyhanded, maybe. Objectively, it probably is better than digital, but it had a very bad aftertaste for me. I guess it's one of those love it or hate it things.

If only it was free

[Megumeru]

I thought I was drunk when I saw this on steam

I guess not...

[WorldlyWiseman]

It's basically a set of historical documents with a sci-fi framing story. I finished the demo and it was pleasant, if a bit obvious. Then again, I'm the kind of guy who understands (as best I can, at least I hope) that gender roles and notions of acceptable behavior have always been in flux, so maybe I'm not the one that the game is trying to speak to.

I haven't played Digital but that heavy-handed preaching aspect is a big part of what turned me off of "don't take it personally, babe, it's just not your story". Thanks, I'm glad I didn't waste my time and money on it.

I liked don't take it personally babe. It was an interesting look at tough issues and modern techology.

It was really fastinating how facebook fit into the story.
