Plot Summary: As the heroine, Morinaga Satsuki (name can be changed), is looking through her attic, she finds a ring and when she puts it onto her finger, suddenly a guy with a sword stuck into him appears. After she pulls it out for him, she notices that there is no blood coming out. The guy says that that’s because he is a devil. He forces you into helping him find a different ring which when worn, drives the bearer to insanity.

Okay, just re-reading the summary makes me think that it’s quite similar to Lord of the Rings except that Frodo is kinda pathetic as he can’t survive without Sam.

Himehibi Portable – Hayami Naohito

The main reason why I didnt do it like domshiki was that it was the first post and I hadn’t done any other route at that time.

Hayami Naohito

Okay, he is basically a tennen and I guess thats what TAKUYO wanted to base it around for girls to pick his route. He’s nice and the kindest as he actually knew you before and the only bad part would be that he can’t cook (although I don’t care about that as much domshiki who likes guys who can cook).

Otome Games Intro and HimeHibi Portable – Tenjyouji Masaya Route

For those of you who don’t know, it’s a dating simulation for girls. Otome means girl in japanese so literally it’s basically girl game.

I’ve played quite a couple on the PC but right now i’m more into playing them on my PSP, mainly as i can still play at night and won’t get caught by my parents. =3

As I want to keep my ‘innocent’ mind, i won’t be reviewing 18+ games but I think my friend will. Although, the fact that I actually play dating sims kind of doesn’t make me innocent….

Anyway.

I might as well start blogging one route that I just finished yesterday on the PSP.
