To do this, he abuses the power of his pocket watch – confessing to girls and then going back in time when things do not work out in his favor – until he sees a young girl fall from the roof of his school and die. Instead, Chrono clock turned out to be a bog-standard romance VN focused on a boy named Rei who, too predictably, wants to find love in high-school. Unfortunately, this expectation was not met very well. Based around the idea that a young heir to a company finds a pocket watch that allows him to go back five minutes into the past, the story held a lot of promise and interesting mechanics. While I have played numerous visual novels in the past, today I want to focus on a new-ish one that I recently picked up Chrono Clock by Purple Software. They are a mash between anime and books, and one of the most innovative and exciting forms of media in my opinion. While these types of media often have the reputation of being filled with H-scenes, or being mainly for masturbation (sometimes with good reason) they are also made simply because people love good stories. I know some of you horn-dogs buy these just for the porn (not judging), but I do not. While nudity and H-Scenes do exist in these games, any and all reviews of Visual Novels now and in the future will not focus on those aspects, but rather the art and story (and game play if applicable) instead. That being said, this means that any Japanese made visual novel that I review likely will be the Unrated or X-rated version of the game (barring games that do not have these versions, such as Ace Attorney). A strong and profitable VN industry means that more games will get localized (hopefully). Why? To avoid giving Steam and other intermediaries a cut of the profit. Disclaimer: To support the Visual Novel industry as much as possible I purchase my games directly from publishers such as Denpasoft and Manga-gamer.
