Ok I really like this game and also I need something to list what all the parody book titles are parodies of, because they are really funny when I do get the joke.

(3 edits) (+4)

Thank you for the kind words :) 

 Most of the in-game books are references to fellow VN dev's games that were in production or recently released when we were making AWKI.
Unfortunately my original list has disappeared, but I can show the in-game list and you can try to figure out the ones I don't remember anymore. In addition a few titles were submitted by backers, while "Sexy Man Man #5" is Jaime's own creation ;)

I was so pleasantly surprised and flattered when I came across "No Alternative Remedy" on one of my playthroughs!

Out of the ones you don't remember, I'm guessing "Sparrow Drue: Clover Counsel" was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and both "When They Laugh" and "When Waterfowl Cry" sound like they could be references to Umineko.

We were hoping devs would notice! :D <3

Phoenix Wright! Of course! You're probably right about Umineko, I just don't understand why I didn't reference the naming scheme they use.
I was very happy some devs recognized their game, it was a lot of fun to make a whole list, and I tried to reference as many lemmasoft ppl I could find.

Woah thank you! I love these! And now I have a new list of vns to look through

PM was so happy someone took notice of the books! :D we're glad you enjoyed that part
