Ayakashi Gohan - Stream 5 (Date☆Night: 10/10/17)
14My friend DeviousVacuum and I, in a quest to discover more about visual novels, have put together a stream called Date☆Night, where we're playing through a bunch of visual novels that I haven't had the chance to really sink my teeth into, and that DVac has never seen. We stream on Tuesdays at 9PM Eastern on https://www.twitch.tv/ChorpSaway, so feel free to stop in if you're free!
Our current game is Ayakashi Gohan, a heartwarming little tale about family and the connection between human and ayakashi (spirits). We follow Akane Rin, a young girl living in a small town where humans and ayakashi live together. As she lives her normal life, going to school and working at a cafe, she may find romance with the people of this peculiar town...
Both DVac and I are going into this blind! The fan translation was released earlier this year so we haven't had a lot of time to look at it beforehand, but we're optimistic about it!
Today, we accidentally stumble into an early ending! We put too many points into the true route and were thrust back to the title screen, so we decided to detour a little bit and see what the game was like on the Human Route! We meet a more reserved Rin and see how she interacts with the world in comparison to the happier version of Rin.
