Woah
This game is visually stunning coupled with various visual effects, makes it so much better. I played the compressed version and I am already impressed. I think the musics and sounds are good too (if not great) but they are there unlike most VN games (huge disclaimer I didn't really play with sound
but even if I did I am not a good judge for musical score anyway
). The UI and game mechanics are very intuitive and player friendly and focused. All that being said, the overall game production quality is on the next level, par excellence. Well done, kudos to
Qori Gaming.
The narrative (highly subjective) is shrouded in mysteries and can be quite complicated (or even confusing) at times (I have not reached that far only up to the beginning of Chapter 1). The
Prologue was really good, especially the earlier part where the flashbacks focused mainly on 2 characters. Towards the end of the
Prologue and the rest of
Chapter 1 (I guess) it becomes a little bit complicated (and 'chaotic') because it involves so many characters and the player has sort of limited information about anything especially what goes on within the households. More will be revealed later as the game progresses. I can already see that there are multiple routes to choose?
but I am still undecided.
I've read some comments about the game settings like the location where the stories took place but it does not bothers me much. I normally think of most (if not all) stories took place in an alternate universe that bears some similarities to our own. Some pointed out that this game take place in Japan and they are probably right. However, I couldn't help but noticed the scene (in
Prologue) where MC and his sister,
Amber closing in to their residence, the buildings, streets and yellow cab looks somewhat similar to typical New York City apartments outsets depicted in movies
. Anyway, not a big issue for me, for all I know they are not unique to NYC and similar setup can exist elsewhere.
Alas (as a side note), huge shoutout to
Sancho1969 for making a mod for this game, which is another 'plus' reason why I decided to try it in the first place. Using the unobtrusive
SanchoMod helps a lot and improve the gameplay experience tremendously (at least for me).
Thank you for the share. Well done, keep up the lewd work, and all the best
Qori Gaming. Cheers.
