VN Ren'Py Color of My Sound [Ch.3 Finale v6] [Gallant Trombe]

[Toksicz]

Good game. Really love how every character has their hidden motive in the game. It would be insane if Lana was faking it as well, but thats whats fun. I like almost all of the cast, unique characters. I really like Aria, mainly coz of her looks. Hopefully she is Bi (praying).

One big problem I have with the game is that there is no impact on the scenes that need to have that impact. Like the first explosion that happened, I thought that happens all the time or something with how nonchalant it was. There needed to be something else, that truly showed how shocking that was when it happened. And there were some more scenes that I thought had the same problem. Just my two cents. Overall really liked it, and read almost everything. Good luck.

And what if I don't want the throne? Can I only take Elise then take my leave or would Lana hunt me down if I do that?

Well you wouldn't get the throne, you'd just be consort to Elise.

 

[JJ1960]

Well you wouldn't get the throne, you'd just be consort to Elise.

Oh no. Please. Stop. Don't make me do that. Really. I must insist.

Okay.

Ok, if you insist.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but were the NSFW scenes not animated or not working for me on Android?

I'm starting to like the characters less and less, I kind of felt this chapter 3 was significantly weaker than the others.

I REALLY don't care about Lana, and honestly every scene she is in feels forced as fuck. I honestly wish she was the Rebel so she would be out of the story for a while.

Not being able to trust any of the characters is definitely a decision, but just makes me feel frustrated listening to the story because basically everything so far has been just lies, its impossible to get attached to a character you know nothing about and we dont know anything about anyone, even the MC.

this is probably an odd question. Gonna buy this on Steam been thinking about this update for a little awhile now. I'm just not feeling like replaying it to refresh myself on the story or whatever , rather do that later.

Is this update easy to follow if I forgot alot of details about the story or is it like GOT or some other series where you can feel somewhat lost if you forget some of the plot lines.

If you're not feeling like playing from the start, then I would suggest to wait until you DO feel like that. I think it's better experiencing the whole thing sequentially - like a novel, if you put it down for 12 months it's hard to restart from half way through.

kind of what I figured tbh feels like one of the rare games it's important to remember the story haha, just figured id ask anyways

 

[camube]

does the game still have no music or does it have music now?

 

[Kirel]

does the game still have no music or does it have music now?

There is no music, because that is a key plot point.

I'm a bit conflicted about how to approach this one as a player. On one hand, it's great that I've control over an MC that isn't a horn dog. Given the mysterious nature of SOS and the team members being enigma themselves, I've been consistently keeping my distance from the girls. As much as I'd like to pursue one, if not all of them, I still can't yet trust their motives being around me. So I appreciated having agency over relationships. Kept them at a distance as friends until I can figure out their deal. Did the same with Dizzy and even though it hurt seeing her getting evaporated, I still felt it was the right call in the broader scheme of things.

But then out of the blue, Lana's choice just blows up in my face. Initially, I jolted her out of her advances in the bedroom, which felt like the right call as she did have faint smile afterwards. But fast forward to the present, after her little stunt of pulling a gun on a civilian, and I'm forced to make a choice to "kiss or reject" her. I didn't want to, but I ended up turning her down, only for the game to again push her on me after the warehouse sequence. TWICE Eh?

Don't get me wrong, the game might not be perfect, but it has an interesting lore and has me hooked, so it's pretty close to the top in my books. But somehow I'm struggling to insert myself in-between the VN and the AVN aspect of the game. Yes I want to understand the past and what's the deal with the rebels, more so than anything. But I also would like to pursue the girls when the time is right and I have a clearer picture at hand. But this feels like I am being prematurely forced to make decisions that I'm not yet ready to make.

Am I doing this wrong somewhat? Should I just switch my approach to full blown harem chad and consequences be damned? I really don't want to lock any girls out this early into the game, but this feels like I might be burning un-mendable bridges in the long run.[/SPOILER]

 

[tyz96]

My game say click to continue and Start's back at new game where some scenes are not even unlocked in gallery what to do

 

[sosa300]

You're not locked out of a route for rejecting them any point until the "point of no return", and that's still a long way to go. The purpose of these choices is for players to be able to pursue them, or not, at the moment they feel is right. The scenes are very deliberately grey in terms of "romance". Are you pursuing them because you just want to bed them now? Are you doing it because of the mission? Or you're doing it because you want to romantically?

The only choice the game will never offer, at least at this point of the story, is to outright banish a character just because you don't like them or trust them. They are all integral to the plot. if you reject their advances, it doesn't mean they are gone, and the chances to try again later also isn't gone forever.

And finally, I don't think any of the rejections so far have been unreasonable to the LIs. They understand the timing and context might not be right, but they still try one way or another for their own reasons. You're not going to lock them out for rejecting/delaying them, for now.

While I figured that would be the case considering they all have been assigned to the team to work together, it's to good to have confirmation as well. Thank you.

If I may provide some feedback here- While you are not wrong as most choices do give you wiggle room, the nuance felt less evident from the player's perspective when interacting with Lana in her room the first time she tries to kiss you. At least it was for me as terms like "reject her" seem strong for the intent of "nothing is final yet". Perhaps reevaluate the term? While I do like Lana, her possessive nature, and the fact that she is not beyond taking extreme measures like suicide, does give me pause about the implications of choices made in her context.

Generally speaking, the fact that the girls keep coming on to you, some far more than others, for reasons that are obscured to the MC, does feel that some sort of urgency is at play here. Thankfully the game handles the pivotal choices gently, so those who are here for the AVN can dive into action right away, and then those who are here more for the VN aspect, can make more informed decisions down the line.

On a personal note, just finished it and, all in all, a pleasant read. Things do slow down in some places, but never enough for me to hit the Ctrl button. MC is fairly likable as well, though it does seem that he breaks character sometimes. Going from a brooding loner to a playful entity for a while, but never in a glaring way, which I feel plays well into his past and present self. Like he has changed, but his old personality is still somewhere in there.

Will keep tabs on this one, though with the pace as is, guess I'll revisit it in 2027 or so? So many good VNs take a while to materialize to conclusion

After having this game on my radar for a couple years now, finally decided it was time to give it a play and I enjoyed it immensely. I do feel like some of the characters really stretch the limits of my patience, particularly since It seems like the ones listed in the codex do not seem like the main LIs I assumed they would be.

The June/Dizzy/Rose red herring reveal... Miri going off on her own playing lone wolf with her own mission, Safiya and Aria and that weird romantic subtext they seemingly have going on between them (for shame not having a single redhead as a proper LI!), at least I can understand Lana, Blanche and to a lesser extent, Elise's motivations and their own ulterior motives. I do wish Hilde and Mary were added to the codex dossier as well, but since they aren't, I presume there are no more girls being considered as a possible LI at a later time?

Lastly, while I appreciate this is tagged as a harem, I do find it odd just how this harem will work. It appears as if most of the girls are looking for an exclusive relationship and not really open or interested in sharing the MC between them... and don't even get me started on what's the dynamic supposed to be with the MC and Safiya as long as Aria is in the picture. Anyway, just wanted to say I enjoyed this, and look forward to seeing the rest of the story play out!

I think the usual harem you can expect from Anime/AVN/Eroge would undermine the type and tone of the story, but harem can also open up different kind of possibilities for something like CoMS. As you advance with the story you can see how things unfold one after another. The same will happen with the harem aspect.

And I don't see the appeal of a harem if the MC don't have to earn it, the LIs just all predisposed to accept it, and there aren't any conflict involved in the whole affair.
