I wrote a piece on visual novel Deus Machina Demonbane over at Games Are Evil earlier today and I would be terribly thankful if you went and read it, even if you’re not a particular visual novel fan. Demonbane, while fundamentally not that different from most other visual novels — you read, read, read, read, read, read and occasionally make a choice — is, as I say in the article, interesting and noteworthy for the fact that it’s not your typical galge/eroge. The main point of the game is not to pursue a particular female character romantically, but rather to work your way through a more “traditional” (for want of a better word — its combination of thematic influences is anything but “traditional”) narrative that wouldn’t be out of place in a JRPG.

I wanted to talk a little more about the game than I had the chance to get into in that article, however, and I’m probably going to get spoilery from this point onwards, so if you are intending to play Deus Machina Demonbane and would like your mind to remain virgin pure beforehand, I suggest you stop reading now. For courtesy’s sake, I shall put in a “More” tag for your convenience. Click the “Continue Reading” link to… you know. Continue reading. Otherwise, I’ll see you tomorrow.
