Set in the same universe as Deliver Us From Evil, Snow Angel is Galen Games‘ first release. It’s a short otome* visual novel created for NaNoWriMo 2021 (that’s short for National Novel Writing Month).
“What if when you wished for something, someone answered?”
Snow Angel is a heart-warming love story between a human and an angel involving fluff, baking and falling snow. Pick your own pronouns and experience a charming tale within the alps.
I stumbled upon Galen Games’ Deliver Us From Evil, the team’s submission for the 2021 Otome Jam on itch.io!
This is a quick and short review 🙂
Mankind has wished since the dawn of time, but when those pleas turn dark, Heaven decides to answer. Tasked by the Archangel Michael to investigate, will our young angel Ariel follow her mission? Or will she stray from the light?
Synopsis for Deliver Us From Evil, from their itch.io page
(throws confetti and has a round of Japanese tea as well as wagashi!)
The new release is completely remade from the inside and out with new stills, graphics (sprites and UI) and best ever, it’s fully-voiced.
Jun Minase (default name, customisable) is suddenly in charge of Shirakaba House, a dormitory full of foreign exchange students after the former manager is unable to resume his duties.
How would all these foreign exchange students manage with each other under one roof? Would there ever be peaceful days for Jun?

The game is suitable for those aged 16 and up (some topics mentioned/referred to in the game will be unsuitable for those under 16) and is absolutely free to play.
Playable on browsers and Windows, the game is made using TyranoScript. There are SIX love interests with plenty of extras, giving it excellent replay value.
It begins with a prologue followed by the choice of a character route. Multiple choices will lead to a good or bad ending. There are also seasonal events where residents of the dormitory would interact with each other.
There is also a tipping function at NovelGame with the use of Amazon Japan giftcards if you are keen to show your appreciation.
Stories from 311 is a series of anthologies that see manga authors bringing stories of their own or individuals who were affected by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami into a visual medium, manga.
I still remember what I saw on the news that day and how the it all unfolded.
It’s been 10 years since and the anthologies are a good reminder, giving a more personal insight as to how the disaster has affected residents of the area.
