Written By: JP Developers: Orfeyus Studios Platforms: PC, Mac and Linux Genre: Drama, Fantasy Release Date: January 7, 2014 Official Website | Technically I shouldn't even be doing this, there is a long list of games from 2013 I have to finish before month's end. However, while working on my backlog I have watched and waited for someone to pick up on this visual novel. And waited. And waited. And although I've learned to be much more patient in my old age, I'm out of patience. But to be fair, it's kind of hard to talk about something you don't know anything about. Only available at the Dischan store and the Orfeyus Studios' website, Petrichor mostly slipped under the radar in the wake of more appealing free EVNs like Pyrite Heart. And while there will always be an audience for otome in this community, it is a shame that more people haven't given this particular title a chance. Hopefully that will change after some of you read this review. |

So I walked away from that with my face looking like a tomato BUT also with a new genre of gaming to investigate. I decided to try something decidedly less erotic and was even willing to put up the $15 necessary to play it because I’m a sucker for mystery games. Again, most of you probably figured it out but for the new readers of the site that game was SakeVisual’s Jisei. The rest, as they say, is history.
Considering that history, it was probably inevitable that Master and Acolyte would one day reunite, but the circumstances are extraordinary. From my understanding, Morgan Hawke AKA OokamiKasumi has stuck mostly to her erotica: which isn’t exactly in my range of reviews. However, recently she has delved into some less…er…tantalizing works which makes this reunion possible. So what does The Adventures of Prince Ivan have in store for us? Let’s all find out!
With that sort of pedigree, 2013 looked to be very promising. However, while I don't receive regular financial reports from Celso Riva, critically the chain of sequels we got from the group hasn't exactly been memorable. While I am still deciding whether or not to review Heileen 3 on this website, I did take on Bionic Heart 2. Now the group is looking forward to 2014 with a new slate of releases being led by the sequel to Loren, but before they do we have one more Winter Wolves project to dig through.
Nicole has a good amount of ambition behind it. An original IP, it looks to marry otome and mystery story-telling. A DLC pack, featuring lesbian romances, was announced before release to be written by none other than Hope Chapman AKA JesuOtaku. So with that said, how is the game itself? Well, there's only one way to find out! And for those absolutely dead set on getting this game, there are mild spoilers below so consider yourself warned.
