Witch on the Holy Night | Review and plot dump

Of course I got this game. For once in a long time I'm reviewing a game I read in English [flushed emoji] if I have the choice I will always go for my native language because I'm a lazy piece of shit. On that note I'll include how I felt about the translation in my review as well.

Mahoutsukai no Yoru | Witch on the Holy Night
literal tl: night of the magician(s)

Creator: TYPE-MOON
Released in 2022
(Original game released in 2012 and this is an HD improved rerelease)


Aozaki Aoko lives a normal life as a perfect, hot, smart, and widely recognized high school student council president while also moonlighting as the teenage heir to her family's wizardry practice. After her homeroom teacher forces her to become the personal tour guide for a transfer student that has been living under a rock in the deep mountains his entire life, how is she going to juggle that alongside with doing all her wizard bullshit on the downlow?

This story is one of Nasu's earlier thought up stories and takes place as a sort of prequel to all the fate/tsukihime bullshit. Has nothing directly to do with any of those, but acts as a sort of window to more lore and magical nonsense that goes on in Nasu's Grand Plan.
