Virche Evermore - ErroR: Salvation review

System: Switch
Release date: November 9, 2023
Developer: Idea Factory
Publisher: Aksys Games


Curling up with a book is one of my favourite pastimes, and I have always thought that the Switch’s handheld mode makes it the perfect fit for visual novels because of this. Fortunately Aksys Games agrees with me, and has supported the system with a plethora of otome since it first released. With Virche Evermore – ErroR: Salvation, the publisher has brought a noticeably dark story that, although it won’t appeal to everyone, stands out for its exceptional worldbuilding, engaging cast, and superb presentation.

Tengoku Struggle: Strayside

Original: Aksys Games is teaming up with Idea Factory for an English version of Tengoku Struggle: Strayside in the west, the two sides confirmed today. Fans can expect the Switch otome visual novel to arrive in North America and Europe in 2024.

Thanks to Aksys Games, we have the following overview:
