The Messy PC-98 Game That Defined Modern Visual Novels (Kizuato) (Patreon Cut)

A downloadable copy on Dropbox is available here, along with other videos!

While visual novels with grand, thrilling, multi-route scenarios are the norm now, they were once something new and novel: and they began with Kizuato in 1996. The first modern visual novel, and a corny mess that goes wildly off the rails. So... let's talk about it.

Sorry about that one! Besided the Patreon issues with names as usual, the special characters caused font rendering issued and it took me a while to figure out what name was the source of them (it was actually easy to pin point but I'm a doofus sometimes), and how to fix it without making the name look too plain. In the end I just render your name with fake bolding and it seems to work okay.

i’ve been pretty curious about this one for a while so thank you for covering it! and omg i wasn’t going to say anything because it’s really not that serious but i’m relieved to see my name back up on the patreon donor list as it’s been missing for uh. quite some time now. but i knew it had to be an issue with patreon and not you. yippee!

Amazing video! The only thing about Kizuato I knew before was Chizuru being in the Aquaplus fighting game, Aquapazza: Aquaplus Dream Match

Fantastic video as always! Nice to hear the Subahibi track in the background, hope your enjoying it

I read all of Umineko a few years back, and I've seen bits and pieces of various Higu media. Some day I need to read all of Higurashi!

I’ll have to go rewatch some videos and keep an eye out!! And House has been on my to-read list for a minute so I’ll make sure to get on it! :D

I know she’s used Umineko music in previous videos, Suisenka especially, so I’m assuming she has! But if you want something about tragedy and witches… May I direct you to The House in Fata Morgana :3c

A great video per usual! I always love learning about vintage visual novel stuff! <3 Have you read/interacted with the When They Cry series at all? I just finished Umineko and would love to read more like it.
