  1. Tomoyo After ~It's a Wonderful Life~ has been released on Steam!

    by , 07-02-2016 at 10:17 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    As of yesterday, Tomoyo After has been released on Steam! The price is $20, but right now there's a release sale up until July 8th that puts it at $16.

    Link to the Steam Store Page


    Tomoyo After is a spinoff to CLANNAD, a continuation of Tomoyo's character route, and it's my #3 favorite visual novel, just barely above CLANNAD itself. The original version had adult content in it, but this version is all-ages friendly ...
  2. Tomoyo After is on Greenlight

    So after quite a lengthy silence following the initial localization announcement, Tomoyo After - the CLANNAD spin-off that continues Tomoyo's route - is finally on Steam Greenlight. It's set to be released sometime in Summer 2016. If you're interested in the game or just want to support it, consider giving it a vote

    Seeing as how Tomoyo After is one of my all-time favorite visual novels I'll definitely be ...
  3. CLANNAD Revisited

    by , 02-24-2016 at 03:24 AM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    It seems someone has been hijacking and misusing my blog by making a post unrelated to visual novels, though if Umineko's taught me anything it's not to mess with bored witches, so I'll leave it there...

    As for myself, I've got something bigger to talk about.


    So in case you didn't know, I spent the better part of the last three months rereading CLANNAD, my first visual novel. Technically Ace Attorney was my first, ...
  4. CLANNAD First Re-Impressions

    by , 11-28-2015 at 08:39 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    You know I was somewhat anxious going into CLANNAD. Not too long ago I crowned it my #3 favorite visual novel, but really, it's been two years since I read it by now. It was the first visual novel I had ever read that I truly identified as a member of its medium. So I was slightly afraid that it turns out my perception of CLANNAD was just heavily colored, that since I had no standards regarding visual novels back then, it might fail to hold up now, not actually being as good as I remember.

    CLANNAD has finally been released on Steam! For release week, it's 15% off so if you want to pick it up, you might want to do it now.


    This also marks the beginning of the Kazamatsuri Bookclub. First week is dedicated to the common route and its quirks and eastereggs. We'll get to know all the characters and give some first impressions of the visual novels.

  6. CLANNAD Steam Release on November 23rd

    by , 11-13-2015 at 11:57 PM (Karifean's Blog of Visual Novels)
    The CLANNAD Steam page has gone online and the release date has been revealed to be November 23rd!


    This also means that the Kazamatsuri Bookclub will be starting on that very day. If you're interested in participating - which I wholeheartedly recommend doing - mark your calendars. The bookclub does encourage reading at your own pace, but it'd be nice if you could at least find the few hours a week to read the route we're currently focusing on.

    It'd ...
