At a patron’s request, we checked out a visual novel neither of us had ever heard of, called Ochitsubaki. It’s a quick playthrough, clocking in at 60 to 90 minutes based on your reading speed. We couldn’t have anticipated the strength of its writing, and how hard it would hit us.
If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is @jbu3 and Six is @sixdettmar. Our intro music is Yuugaoshiro, and our outro music is Tsuki ga Daroshima. Both are by FEYXUAN, and are from the Ochitsubaki OST. You can find more of FEYXUAN’s music here, their itchi.io page here, and the page for their artist collective oneiro here.
