PLANETARIAN ~THE REVERIE OF A LITTLE PLANET~, is a beautiful short story that carries the same VisualArts/Key cry your eyes out type narrative. There is little world building but it doesn't really need it, nor does it try to lean on any romance or graphics. The story is just an very sweet interaction between the only two characters in the game whilst accompanied by a very fitting soundtrack. There are not choices, no...

planetarian may be a short story, but it is one that sticks with you in the back of your mind for a very long time. I still remember when I first finished planetarian years ago. It is as soul-crushing as it is beautiful, and the impact still holds up against the best of Key's catalogue critically acclaimed visual novels. Thematically, it shares many ties to Key's most recent game Rewrite, which could be interpreted...

A VN by 'key' and one of the leading VN developers in the world makes a VN that will make you cry at the end, assuming you actually cry because this is VN are by the same people who made Clannad, Air, Kanon, Little Busters (All great VNs and animes). It does show its age (this VN was made 10 years ago) when you play the game and the 'save' function isn't great either, you only get 5 save slots, so you have to...

-Finished the game. -Immediately search for Planetarium within the city. -Can't find one... -Looked up into the night sky. -Saw 2 stars. -Start crying. Thanks Key, not only I can't eat dango and watch baseball without feeling sad. Now I can't even look at the night sky the same way. P.S: Buy this game on Steam if it's 75% off sale, unless you want to support the publisher/developer. The game is only 5 hours...

This is the story of a robot and a very small piece of a town, mostly untouched by time while a holocaust has already decimated everything around them. A lone human, a "junker", arrives on the scene, risking his life to find something worthwhile to sell. Well, there isn't a single thing of worth where the robot resides... at least, not from his first impression. And so the story begins. After reading this kinetic...

This visual novel is a conversation with your dog. She's optimistic, stubbornly so, and she wants to play with you and get you in a good mood no matter what. She doesnt have a clue about the world outside nor inside, and views everything through the eyes of a curious child. Even at the end of your dog's life, she'll be thinking of games, you, and the happy moments she spent with you. She will waggle her tail. She...

I got a piece of sharp debris stuck in my eye. I couldn't get it out, and my eyes weren't watering, leaving me only one option. I booted up this game and cried it out. This isn't a joke review, it really did fix my problem.
