Independent "visual novel" video game. Lacks notability.

  • Most of the references are to things like the dev blog of the developers.
  • gamesetwatch news piece. I am not too familliar with that site. May be another group blog.

In addition, I can find two reviews:

  • Screw Attack - Under the "blog" section and not a formal review section.

I think that there are too few reliable sources discussing this to establish notability for this indie game. Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:01, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep - Eeeeh, with the amount of stuff I have read about this game (which lead me to actually play it recently), I have a hard time coming to the conclusion it is not notable. I can't look at the links directly since I'm at work and I can't be bothered to bypass their firewall, but according to WP:VG/S there are plenty of coverage in reliable sources
  1. Kotaku is reliable for posts after 2010.
  2. GameSetWatch is also reliable
  3. Screw Attack can be used for opinions and reviews per per WP:VG/S
  4. Escapist is, as you said, definitely reliable
  5. IndieGames review
  6. Rock, Paper, Shotgun review
  7. Technology Tell article (this one is not on WP:VG/S but looks good anyways).
So, plenty of significant coverage in reliable media sources. Subject comfortable passes WP:GNG. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 14:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and withdrawal recommended. The sites in the nom (save for perhaps Screw) are vetted at WP:VG/RS. That with Sal's sources put it past the GNG. Should something else be done with it (merge into something else) if the coverage is not substantial? That's a conversation for outside AfD. czar ♔ 22:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep, and WP:BEFORE wasn't followed properly here. A simple Google search would've shown that a large number of sources exist, such as
To name a few. WP:GNG is easily passed here. Satellizer (´ ･ ω ･ `) 01:15, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
