Togainu no Chi: True Blood NITRO ARCHIVE

THANK U FOR MAKING THE REMASTER. OH MY GOOOOOD. I'd be so, so upset if it didn't exist. This game deserved justice. I knew this game could be good WITHOUT NSFW SCENES. In fact, I'm glad they aren't there if we got a remaster in exchange. ..And an extra route to make up for it. But I will talk abt Yukihito later, m'kay? So, I don't mind the soundtrack being remastered as well.. but I think keeping the old one could be.. better? Nano OST isn't as intimidating as it was. Oh well, these are just details. Back to the topic. The remaster made up most of my complaints I've held for OG. • Akira was mistreated by his own writers, I hate that. I'm glad that we got to see him not only getting beaten up but also actually locking in and being the main character of his own story. Next to remastering, his OG ver was just a Fleshlight. Sorry not sorry, but that's just a fact. A FULL REMAKE OF THE SHIKI ROUTE WAS NEEDED. NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE. • Keisuke. Hm.. they haven't changed that much, and that's okay, tbh. Glad we got to see more combat between him and Akira and not just a few screwdrivers being stuck up someone's ass. Yk what I'm talking abt. I think I've written enough about him in my OG TnC review. • I think it is for the better that executioners endings were just scrapped. They were irrelevant to the story. • Aribito.. His ending was cut short, that upsets me a little. His.. nasty preferences were just heavily hinted. I don't mind writers skipping the fact that he owns slaves and not just Kau. It's understandable. • I like extra lore info in Rin's and Motomi's routes!! I'm at a point where I'm just greedy for more. Their new CGs were... really but really good. • Shiki... THANK U FOR UR SERVICE. This over here was what I've expected from the beginning in OG. MAKE AKIRA STAND UP FOR HIS BUSINESS. His ED 1 was my favorite. 2nd.. definitely better than OG END 1. It makes me hope that there's an afterstory CD or smth cuz it gives bug sequel potential. And.. END 3. YUM. YUM YUM YUM!!!! I'm a little upset how it was cut short in half of the og story.. but next to what we had.. this is fine. Lowkey Madarame from SD vibe, and I love it. • And now to the previously mentioned Yukihito.. he's.. just there? He's like a box of chocolates to make up for lack of NSFW scenes. ..Chocolates that lack the filling inside of them. Yes. He's drawn by a different artist with a different art style, and it's not a bad thing, but it just adds a brick to my opinion that they had no clue what to do with him. He's just aware of his backstory and besides saving Akira.. I really can't think about other stuff. He's flat and rushed; his route is short. Too short. It's unfinished. Yukihito just saw Akira once or twice in his childhood, and there's no bigger connection than that in their past. Main story.. yeah he's kind but.. That's it? Really? It feels like he was supposed to be more than that, but the creators had a deadline and gave him to us as he is. Unfinished. • The best for the last, Nano. I'm going to glaze him, so be prepared. He has had my heart since the beginning. I like a few fixes from his OG story and new CGs.. they make me yearn for him so, so bad. Next to OG, the same ending with few fixed plot holes from the remaster feels right. However, I believe he deserved a bad ending too. It just makes so much sense for it to be there. But it's not.. eh I'll live. To sum up: I love this remaster sm. It was needed. There are still a few things that this game leaks, but if you've played OG you know better than to complain. I hope that I'll find After story DRAMA CD online or smth like that. This series NEEDS IT BAD. N+C/JAST are brands that I will dive deeper into off Steam. There are still a few games that aren't on Steam from them that caught my eye. I plan to catch em all, lol. Thank u for reading. See ya. ♡

Could use more Shiki 🤔

the weird upscaling of character sprites lowk looks like ♥♥♥♥ and the cgs are cropped for aspect ratio. but i only came for english translated yukihito route so if its your first time playing just get lost blood ver

yaoi 👍

great game, honestly the story is so good you don't even need to be particularly interested in BL to enjoy it (like I am), it's a nice change of pace. The third person narrative is also a very pleasant surprise, it makes for better writing and feels more literary than the vast majority of other VN's out there. The music is also very good, matches the tone of the environments and atmosphere perfectly. I still haven't finished the game but I look forward to get all endings and stuff.

plotholes from censorship but yukihito carries
