Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is a modern example of a JRPG which challenges the preconceived notions of the genre, and there is no need to wait ten years to retroactively praise it as a good game if we can do so right now: ogrerun.com/2026/10/06/q...

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow and the Weird New JRPG
What makes Qlipah bold is not strictly its combination of genres but how those genres are combined

@pascalsmt.bsky.social I started playing Ghost Gray after seeing your thread. I'm very much enjoying it. I'm still in the very beginning. Just beat Aston and got out of Digglet cave. Did you get the event in viridian forest where you are randomly transported to a strange place?

I need to stress, those big hairclips in her hair? Those are actual alligator clips and at the end of each in-game day (you can see it at the end of the video) they're connected to electrical power so she can charge

Catching up with my good friend and what should be yours: Fire Woman Matoigumi. Still one of my favorite dating sims of its vintage and criminally under-discussed. Just an inventive open-ended school sim with cute art, neat RPG combat, and bite-sized, incidental storytelling. Forever a charmer. 😌

As a “sequel” to 7: Cavalry of Molmorth, this is another “generational change” RPG in the vein of Romancing SaGa 2 and Oreshika. My own review of Molmorth can be read here: ogrerun.com/2026/01/08/7...

7: Molmorth no Kihetai and the End of Childhood
Few games truly ask players to think about the consequences of their own actions in relation to time.

I'd say it's worth playing even just on its own merits, Amagami fan or not, yeah. Tonally, it's a breezier game that's a little more rough around the edges, but it's a sweet cast and you definitely don't get Amagami without it. They also get their own storyline in Amagami's mahjong content, too.

Right now, there’s a trend in Japan where people are choosing their top 9 “Steam games they’d like to see become popular,” so I decided to give it a try by writing an article about it. (I’d be happy if you’d give it a read using this site’s automatic translation feature.) note.com/guiltyjake/n...

#広めたいSteamゲーム9選 by 俺|JAKE
流行りに乗って自分もやってみようと思います。 という訳で、スクリーンショットや簡単な解説を交えながら、9つの作品について軽く紹介する記事となります。 こういうやり方のほうが自分らしいかなと。 また、この企画(?)は「広めたい」「広まって欲しい」という部分が焦点だと思うので、既に十分なレビュー数がある作品は除外しています。 具体的にはこの記事で紹介している作品はレビュー数527件以下の作品に絞らせ...

And so I bring May to a close with two complimentary articles. The first: I reflect on r/JRPGs best game of 1997, the state of the JRPG that year, and how we understand the genre: ogrerun.com/2026/05/29/a...

I just watched a fantastic video about the Jinguji Saburo (Jake Hunter) series by a small channel called Impact Zink. It goes super in-depth into the long history of this adventure franchise and even interviews many people involved with its creation. Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQMt...

Karate Rogue Sol Cesto Cosmic Galaxy Wars Shinonome Abyss The Maiden Exorcist Cosmic Galaxy Wars seems to be particularly slept on. From the original creator of Disgaea, it's a "shooting RPG" with a million floors.

The Hues of These New Colors - What Lessons in Love Means to Me mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2... The ongoing visual novel about a teacher grooming 20 students that made me try my hand at poetry. 10,000 words. I hope it captures a fragment of why I find this game inspiring.
Sensei: Not that. This…bonding thing. Having to open up to someone without envisioning what choices and words will lead to sex the quickest.
