February is here, and that means we’re once again dedicating a month to romance in honor of Valentine’s Day. Celebrating All Things Romantic 2023 has begun!
(While I like the alliteration of last year’s Valentine Video Game Festival, the name didn’t seem as popular.)
As before, we’ve got a month of reviews and a contest with prizes to win!
One day a week will be reserved for a non-themed post in case exciting news arrives (such as the rumored Nintendo Direct I keep waiting for and the possibility of certain rumored remasters being announced).
So, what does this year’s Celebrating All Things Romantic event have in store?
Promotion
While there are no sales for this event, consider checking out the fantasy rom-com visual novel Ascendant Hearts (PC/Switch), the supernatural otome The Last Act, and other romance visual novels I’ve written for, all of which are included on the list here.
Contest
All month long, you can earn points toward winning a prize at the end just by joining the conversation and participating in the celebration!
The following prizes are available:
- Ascendant Hearts (gift sent through Steam)
- The Last Act (gift sent through Steam)
- LoveKami -Divinity Stage- (Steam code)
- LoveKami -Useless Goddess- (Steam code)
- LoveKami -Healing Harem- (gift sent through Steam)
- Nekopara collection (gifts sent through Steam)
- Adventure of a Lifetime (gift sent through Steam)
- Taisho x Alice complete set (gifts sent through Steam)
- $15 sent through PayPal
- You pick a game for me to review!
…and possibly more game prizes to be added throughout the month!
If you choose the review option, your chosen game must be something I either own or is easily obtainable, which you can discuss with me beforehand. It must be a single game, not a collection (although the chosen game can be part of a collection). I will start playing it in March.
So, how do you win one of these prizes? It’s simple! Just leave comments on the themed blog posts and/or retweet them to earn points. If you rank in the top 3 point-earners by the end of the month, you get a prize!
Full rules:
- No purchase is necessary.
- Only comments made between February 1, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST and February 28, 2023 at 11:59 PM EST will be counted.
- 1 non-spam, non-anonymous comment on any Celebrating All Things Romantic blog post earns you 1 point.
- Retweeting any Celebrating All Things Romantic tweet of mine earns you 1 point.
- You must use an email address or website URL (or include another way of contacting you) in your comment so I can contact you if you win.
- The top 3 point earners will win prizes.
- The person with the most points will get their first pick of the prizes, the person with the second most points will pick second, and the person with the third most points will pick third.
- In the event of a tie, tied winners will be contacted at the same time. A tie for third place will allow for more than 3 winners. If tied winners choose the same prize, duplicate prizes will be possible.
- The winner will be contacted by March 2, 2023.
And there you have it. With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, let’s make this a fun month of romance-themed reviews and discussions!
So you’re going with the “Celebrating All Things” theme again this time, eh? Looking forward to seeing what weird games I’ve never heard of that you choose to review this time. Maybe the Dead By Daylight Dating Sim…?
Probably not that one… but we’ll see what the month brings.
[…] Volume 4 is currently the last game in the Nekopara series, although a new game called Nekopara After La Vraie Famille was announced in 2021. And don’t forget, you could win a Steam collection of the Nekopara series by participating in this year’s contest! […]
[…] Alice so much, I’ve added its episodes to the list of prizes you can win in this year’s contest! Meanwhile, Idea Factory has announced an otome live stream for tomorrow, so here’s hoping we […]
What a great time to see some weird games! Can’t wait to see !
Just wanna clarify, by weird games I mean quirky and fun, I love me some interesting games I might be interested in especially if I don’t usually play these types of games, they do look fun!
Thank you for the clarification there. XD
