I see that now. I'll be honest, I've never heard anyone call a show in a dance hall/bar a concert, so it didn't even occur to me.
You actually haven't played enough for a proper answer to your first question.
Yeah, everything to this point has just been background info. We still havent even met all the characters yet! We haven't even heard
Not sure if I've ever been referred to as "Too Wholesome" while on a pirate porn site, but thanks!
Max 2, but only specific pairs, which are obvious. All can be romanced solo.
All routes are good. I played this AVN so much that I sometimes can't decide which route I should play. I use
I'm seriously considering using your LI wheel for my next play, but Chris has his assignments: Holly if Lexi only, Robin if Kira only (might be my favorite non-Cece ending), Robin(Kira) if Linda, Linda if anyone else.All routes are good. I played this AVN so much that I sometimes can't decide which route I should play. I useYou must be registered to see the linksto decide which route I'll play andYou must be registered to see the linksto decide if I help Chris and with which girl. This wheel thingy is the best.
If I don't know what I should play I let the wheel decides. It gives you funny times. Once the wheel says Kira and Robin route and for Chris Robin. Sure, at the end it can't happen but it was a nice playthrough.
Yeah, that feels not good at first, but the story is good written and in the end you've got the feel that this was the way it should happen. If you didn't play these paths before I don't want to spoil it. Just try it. The feeling about it is not as bad as it is with Lexi when you go for Holly only.
That's why I had the idea. I just couldn't decide and I played my favourite routes to much. So when the wheel says I should play my favourite route I do this but I play them all. It gaves me back my gaming fun with Leap Of Faith. I do the same with BaDIK and Interwinded. The wheel decides which route I go for and it never has let me down.
I'm not good at keeping track of the time it takes, but I would guess, if you sat down and played straight through, I wouldn't be surprised if it's between 12 and 16 hours (1.5-2 hours per chapter average), depending on how fast you read or how much time you take to enjoy the music. Again, that's just a wild-ass guess based on never paying attention to time and never playing all the way through in one sitting, so hopefully someone with a better feel for that will give a better answer.I've been hanging around here for a bit after following a fan sig, but have yet to download and give a run. One thing I've noticed is the number of people that talk about replays/reruns. I'm presently doing my first voluntary rerun of another title in anticipation of playing its sequel, and, while I'm enjoying that (like watching Tombstone or Hunt for Red October for the 1,000th time), I don't see myself doing so with longer titles: there are too many other things to discover to keep going over the same ground, no matter how much I enjoyed it the first time.
After that preamble, the question: about how long is this VN? Does a single run take 20 hours? 40 hours? Something more/something less? I did a series of related titles a year or so ago that could each be finished in under 8 hours (they were all connected short stories, largely kinetic, but not entirely). I deliberately read these things at a conversational pace, and try to not rush scenes/animations when they come up, so I'm not a flash to the lewds degenerate, but I also don't sound out every word.
I want to give this a proper run, but I need to figure out where to fit it in - I've been doing a lot of "completed" and very mature titles recently and they can take a couple of weeks if I'm giving them good attention and trying the alternate routes. I also need to find some "short stories" or have a bunch of updates come through as sort of a "palate cleanser" so I can take a night or two off from a couple-week immersion in a single title before starting another long run.
Where does this fit in? Right now I have my relatively short (maybe a dozen hours) replay; a sequel that I expect will be about the same length; and, an update to a mature title. So, within the next four or five days, I'll be looking for something else: should LoF be the next thing for me?
So, in the grand scheme, it's a fairly short VN - not a short story, but not War & Peace. Maybe like the Hitchhiker's Guide books: I could sit down with one of those in the morning and finish by late afternoon.
I don't know how fast you read and how much time do you take to look at the screens which are shown. But your first play through could take up to ten hours if you want to. If you want to see all paths you have to do more runs but you can skip many parts. Although with skipping until the big different scenes you'll miss many small details which change from path to path and choices. There's a counter how many screens of this game you've discovered. After every chapter this counter shows up. There's a total of 24461 screens. I for myself have seen 23753 and have played this game and all the routes many times. So there's something to explore everytime.
100% agree with everything you said. All I have to say in reply is, now go back and play it again on another LI path. (Personally I recomend the Lexi path)
