Moon Archive 115.2: Crying Rules Actually 02 - Toxic Yuri Jam ’25 [Part 2]

welcome back to crying rules actually, a podcast about taking a short break from our extremely important work talking about bb in order to cover the under-examined world of english language visual novels! this episode is the second in our series of deep dives into the 2025 itch.io-hosted toxic yuri visual novel jam. last episode we talked at length about games only one of us had played, this episode we go through roughly half the games we both played before we run out of time. scroll down for a full list of works discussed on this episode, timestamps for when we discuss them, and links to all the available tyj games we cover this episode!

next week, we'll return with even more toxic yuri! our normal schedule is on pause but ccc coverage and our normal yuri teatime segment will return on october 11th.

featuring co-hosts Benn Ends (@bennends.itch.io) and fen (@fenic.moe).
