Thanks­giv­ing tasted like Turkey and cough syrup, so I started up this game…

A Visual Novel released by Suc­cess Cor­po­ra­tion as recently as 2008, Aoi Shiro was trans­lated by Wings of Yuri about two months ago. I was quite excited by this released as not only is the game rather new and thus reflects upon the cur­rent level of the Japan­ese Visual Novel indus­try, it is a com­pletely Yuri Visual Novel — the only one of its type being trans­lated as far as I know (and no H-scenes, which I’m glad about). Unfor­tu­nately, I didn’t man­age to put aside enough time to play this until recently…

The game takes about thirty-some hours of total game­play time. The story is inter­est­ing but not very strong, so the great­est enjoy­ment lay in the game’s art­work and pre­sen­ta­tion which are absolutely gorgeous.
