This short review refers “Fractured Fairy Tales” version 0.3; a VN written and developed by Clever Name Games
First of all, I should say I’m not particularly fond of “Dreams” or “Tales” within VNs, for the reason that it further stretches too much the [imaginary?] reality constructed by the plot itself. Also, the dreams I have are often way off reality — hence, unless VN Dreams have both Vivid and Absurd qualities, I tend to find them a poor writer’s or developers' choice.
That said, “Fractured Fairy Tales” delivers what its title imbues: Fairy Tales (or Dreams) that are — essentially — fractured; the oneiric derived from the already “broken” interpersonal relationships between a father and [his] daughters.
Trying not to extend this much:
• I liked the plot and the way it develops throughout the three short stories. Contrary to some comments in the thread, the tale “The Rustling” was the one I found the most interesting — exactly for permeating that Absurdity Element most of my dreams tend to possess.
• Graphics are fine — even though they feature a “Rush” quality and should be improved in future updates.
• The plots’ narratives are well-structured, and the English is good — meaning: there was no error that really called-up my attention.
I rate it 3.5 (or 4) Stars for now; there’s always room for amelioration.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this review helps.
