Angelique: Maren no Rokukishi/Angelique: Six Knights of Dark Love playlog, prelude

Just when I think I'm out, I start another playthrough. And one that's been long delayed, too. Angelique: Maren no Rokukishi - or Angelique: Six Knights of Dark Love, as I am going to be calling it to avoid the thorny issue of whether or not there should be a space after the possible "roku" counter - was, excluding cellphone folderol, actually the last game in the Angelique otome game series to be released, in late 2011. It has a bit of a special place in my heart for a few reasons, not the least of which being that it's the only game of the series (again, excluding cellphone folderol) where I was actually with the fandom on the ground floor from the release announcement and had the small joy of following all the information about character designs, voice casting, and prerelease bonuses as they were brought to light. I actually bought the special edition of the game right at its release date, but...things prevented me from partaking of it until now - over two years later.
