Will wait for the last game in development to release, then decide on playing them.

Hope the price is not too steep. Happy to see it has controller support. Some VNs that are also on consoles don’t seem to have it on PC. I like streaming these to my Vita.

Interesting to see what's going to happen with the censorship, likely just straight port from ENG PS4 release.
If not, they got my moneys.

Can't wait to double dip.

Who am I kidding, I'll probably buy multiple copies of it to end up gifting to people when it goes on sale as well.

Both Deception and Truth never had H-content to begin with. Only the original Utawarerumono (2002) has it.

Feels like it has been forever since I played the first Utawarerumono. Nice to see the games on Steam, even if I have no idea when I'd ever get to play them.

Is there any difference between Utawarerumono and Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception other than H content?

Figured this was worth posting. When asked about porting other Aquaplus games to PC, Shira_VN (the company doing the Uta trilogy on PC) responded with the below


Hopefully this means that if Uta does well enough Aquaplus will continue to port the rest of their catalog to PC, and localize games we haven't gotten yet like DT2-2 and WA2.

prudis , I would like to look after the Utawarerumono OT for its Thursday release, if you don't mind. But, if you already have something prepared, I'm open for a collab too. Let me know. :dana_wink:
