Say It In RedAuthor: Say It In Red
The Podcast version of hanging out with ghosts in a haunted parlor, but like really chill and the ghosts are talking to you about Visual and Kinetic Novels! Join Runa and Sara as they read and discuss games like Higurashi, Umineko, Kindred Spirits on the Roof, Heart of the Woods, and a lot of other VNs. We break down the mystery elements of the stories we read, talk about the implications of ghosts and magic and the tech apocalypse, and swoon every time a handsome woman shows up on screen. For the most part this podcast is entirely safe to listen to around friends and family and co-workers *except* for the moments when we talk about dismemberment or murders since that comes up in some of these games - we'll give you a heads up whenever things like that are on an episode and when we're about to start talking about them in the show!You can follow us on twitter at sayitinredpod and check out our patreon at https://www.patreon.com/SayItInRed for even more content and features!

We follow Asya Shubina, a withdrawn and isolated girl in the strange, isolated town of Vorkuta-5 as her mind wanders to the subject of The World. The world is so cute, because it would give even a moment of consideration to insignificant gnats like humans, and so cute to contain such multitudes each day! Asya's school life is largely rudimentary, apart from the momentary bursts of hope and joy that accompany the rare appearance of Ira. Ira is a delinquent, though, a girl who hardly ever comes to school and even when she does, she skips half of her classes to smoke in the bathroom. She also threw a chair at Vadim, the boy who always bullies Asya (though Asya insists he's just doing his part to remind her of the social order of things). When Ira is declared missing, however, Asya begins to wonder - Should she tell the teachers about what she saw? That she met Ira and might have been the last person to see her? Ah, but what if that's an insignificant detail that would only trouble the teachers and would in fact cause nothing but inconvenience for everyone? so then COUNTERPOINT! What if this information is exactly the detail that would help save Ira from a terrible fate? Doesn't that oblige her to reveal this information? And so, having successfully argued against herself, Asya heads to the staff room, and there she meets Marina.Please join us as we follow Asya on her quest to increase her own signal strength, growing powerful enough to send a message of pure love to the world that can pierce the atmosphere and resonate throughout the cosmos.
