Purportedly pronounced Hotaru no Nikki, htoL#NiQ is a puzzle platform game with the emphasis on puzzles. It’s brought to us by Nippon Ichi Software (NIS), the same people known most outside of Japan for Disgaea, and recently for the scandalous Criminal Girls game.

With the trailer promising dragons and Daenerys, Game of Thrones: Episode 3 had laid a lot of expectation for another action packed episode. However I’m abundantly aware that often the central part of any story can feel laboured somewhat. It was with these mixed expectations that I sat down to […]
