Winged Cloud continued to release titles under Sekai Project, but in 2017, Sekai Project ended their partnership, and later released a statement stating that it was due to Winged Cloud's unprofessional behavior.

However, in 2016 MangaGamer ended their partnership with Winged Cloud citing "intractable creative differences." Īfter leaving MangaGamer, Winged Cloud returned to their previous publisher Sekai Project, to release their next title, Sakura Dungeon. After publishing several of Winged Cloud's titles, Sekai Project and Winged Cloud ended their partnership.įollowing this, in 2015 Winged Cloud partnered with publisher MangaGamer and released Sakura Santa. Their first title, Sakura Spirit was released on July 9, 2014. Winged Cloud began releasing games on Steam in 2014, under publisher Sekai Project. They are known for creating the Sakura visual novel series, mainly of the adult genre. Sadly, the stuff here is fairly generic the scenes usually ending after one act of sex.Winged Cloud is an American English language visual novel developer. Yet at the same time, the world clearly has some technology to it as well, so I thought there would be more unique sex-scenes, both in terms of settings and maybe monsters since there is tentacle rape at one point. The world, as far as I know, features a mix of monsters from a medieval-fantasy such as goblins, slimes, and more. The sex scenes are nicely drawn and even feature voice acting, at least for the female knights, but it never takes advantage of its setting. This confused me as you are presented with choices, though after playing through this game twice the only thing that was different was seeing different dialogue and scenes that are otherwise not important. Gameplay-wise, there are no alternate routes or much in the way of extras. Not once did it never grab my attention, even during the more action-packed moments. The music however is not really noticeable. The character models however are very expressive when talking, with enough detail to show off their emotion, as well as their bodies. The artwork is easy on the eyes, though the backgrounds do feel a bit plain. See this dragon? Never shows up in the game.

And for some reason, during sex-scenes, certain words are bleeped out despite the Japanese dub I don’t quite get why. There is also voice-acting present, though only for three of the girls in the game, which includes the teacher. Even the better plot elements sadly fall apart in this very short visual novel, making it feel like only a fraction of a story. Other elements, like Kaguya wanting to keep her magic a secret, are also left unexplored. Those hoping for that kind of thing will be disappointed. Or maybe set-up a route or hentai scene with her and the main character. Given how the team claimed how much they wanted to be knights, I had assumed the demon seen in one of the screenshots would be the main antagonist. The finale itself is very rushed, and solved with surprising ease. Unfortunately, the story ends before it really gets started, with very little development happening with anyone, aside from Mikage. The art is limited in what actions are shown on screen. At first, it’s fairly okay as the team is slowly built-up into more of a fighting force. Naturally, in an 18+ game, the bonding usually involves sex at random moments while the three live together. The story makes a very big deal about the characters needing to work together, to be more in sync. Kaguya is about one of the only three that doesn’t possess a long-term goal outside of being a knight of tradition, and even desired to keep her magic a secret, for reasons I am not sure of. This usually includes being captured at least three times. Mikage tries his best to distance himself from the fame his dad obtained, and to make his own legacy. All while dealing with the responsibility of being team leader, and nervously working with his fellow female knights. Arise, on the other hand, struggles with trying to help her family at times but is incredibly vocal and emotional, which often leads to her failing at several tasks in combat. The story follows three knights in-training around the same age. The characters get very…friendly early on.
