>What order should I play them in?
IMO it doesn't really matter that much. I would say just play the Old timeline then the Canon. Keep in mind that a lot of people
started with Sengoku and played the older games later. You're fine if you skip Little Princess, Little Vampire, 4.1, and 4.2.
For a quick intro to the series I would recommend
III-->VI-->Sengoku
>POTENTIAL ISSUES
Everything seems to work perfectly fine on Windows 10.
Apparently Kichikuou may have sound issues; I haven't encountered any. However, I have encountered a no sound issue with some of the
games. This is likely due to ny sound setup. I fixed these issues by setting my playback device to the default speakers, then starting
the game, and switching my playback device to my normal device.
Usually malware uploaders do RPG maker stuff under 2GB with a predictable description, this has none of those characteristics and is seemingly uploaded via a US residential IP address. I'm not saying I assure this isn't malware, but there's a good chance it isn't so I'm not doing anything about it for now.
Well, the other one just got deleted and another one before was a game split in 12 parts with way over 2 GB in total, which also got deleted.
But yeah, better be safe with those sketchy anonymous uploads.
I'll wait for verification from others. Didn't know there have been reports of anons uploading malware.
There seems to be fine on images/videos (due to file types), but exes are very tricky.
Rance 4.1, 4.2 and Vampire are showing w32.auto malware from talos... that being said, talos does have a lot of false positives so meh. the others seem clear though
Rance 4.1 - W32.Auto:23a3a2.in03.Talos
Rance 4.2 - W32.Auto:cc6c3b.in03.Talos
Vampire - W32.Auto:8bb2bd.in03.Talos
Do with it what you will
@Shaun
What kind of bullshit are you saying?!
A lot of games I've commented on were deleted because they were infected with malware like trojans and crypto miner.
So where are those "baseless conclusions", hmmmm?
People should ignore YOU, dumbass.
I don't know why you are so determined to protecting those malware uploading anons, maybe you are one of them and you hate me, because I cause people to avoid downloading your malware infected shit?
/e Now that I think about it...are you that crypto miner dude with the tags?
You are quite persistent in shittalking me in every (now deleted) anonymous upload.
It's really you, huh? I'm quite a thorn in your side, hmm?
Don't worry, I'll keep warning the people here about your malware uploads. ;)

Huh, lots and lots of red stuff.
Yep, me and my baseless conclusions.
Yep, just ignore me and download this malware infested stuff. :)
@Shaun
Well well well, what do you have to say NOW?!
I was right again, just like all the other times. ;)
@Mods/Admins
Please, don't delete this one too quickly, I want little Shaun to read this. :D

Ah I see, I didn't had these background informations, I just saw a quarter of them saying the games were infected with trojans and got quite wary of it.
Still, I'd rather download this game from F95zone or fapforfun than from an anon.
Better be safe than sorry.
I'm a rando! Tohhhhhhh!!!!
I've unchecked several files before I begin downloading, namely Rance games I already own or do not have an interest in getting out of this pack -- conveniently on the latter Rance 4.1/4.2/Little Vampire among them because I'm selfish. Also downloading this into my VM.
But for what my word is worth, I'll scan what I have remaining. (Kichikou, Rance 1+2 Digest, 5D, III, IV, Sengoku, and the two Evenicle parodies.) Then I'll report back here.
I admit I don't see the appeal to uploading anonymously so that's dodgy but, if the above all check out and 4.1/4.2/Little Vampire has only dinged a false positive, that'll be a good sign. And if I get fucked, well that's unfortunate.
Kichikou's VirusTotal had just 1 SecureAge flag it, so likely a false positive. Digest 1/2 clean. Evanicle parodies clean.
5D has these detected on the main executable:: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/da4a486ba99af0465d1b90beebf7af72cbd106a9d70fcd7a271935f769077967/detection
Alice.exe: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/4e1cc498241cbfe8aa4372592be1ca1ee1f5fec53a574296993a08f0c365cae8/detection
III is flagged by SecureAge but probably a false positive.
IV has these: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3d9e15ca22173bd07d2e5a2bedd3f5e8892c049bfba380def2ce30fbb0ba1976/detection
Sengoku is clear.
Furthermore ran MalwareBytes on what I have sans VirusTotal (I have MwB Premium). It picked up nothing which is humorous given 5D's main executable pinged VirusTotal's MalwareBytes scan.
None are radioactive like 4.1/4.2 and Little Vampire. IV seems to have a signature that's a common false positive even in Steam release games. 5D seems the most sus of the ones I listed I bothered downloading, and obviously could well be a false positive.
