you think there's someone out there on the internet who's devoted their life to playing every single bargain bin rpg kemco puts out?
those games feel like one of the industry's greatest mysteries
so many questions about them that i think are beyond our means as humans to answers
questions like
how many kemco rpgs are there actually?
do people actually buy them or do they just exist to launder money?
i only know about them because when i first entered loc in 2015, kemco was recommended to me as a company friendly to baby translators
that was nearly ten years ago and by god, they're still making them and people are apparently still out there translating them
true enigmas if ever there were any
I think I actually might know a guy who's played all of them somehow
EDIT: no, I'm wrong, the thread title is only "most of them"
I know this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black when, as the Internet's source of discourse on old dating sims even Japanese players hardly remember, I say I do not have it in me to read a Homeric epic's worth of text on these games, but absolutely more power to this dude for putting in the work and recording this stuff for posterity, because hell if anybody else out there is keeping track outside of maybe Kemco's own press releases.
Skimming through them does answer one of the most pressing questions I've long since had about these games (which OP confirms there are 93 of as of last summer, holy shit) which was, "How long do these games tend to be, really?" and apparently the answer is, "usually 10-ish hours tops," which, fair enough! I kinda figured that was the case, but the fact that you could still potentially get 900+ hours of RPGing out of these games if you committed to them like this person is still tremendously daunting.
God speed to those developers, I know what it's like to be on a particular work grind for years on end and you stick to it because, hey, it could be worse and the paychecks paying for those groceries in your fridge always come when they're supposed to.
