I have come to write my final thoughts on the game. I've only just discovered yesterday that this hidden gem was "completed" (As in a whole visual novel) It has been nearly two or maybe three years since I' checked up on Milky Night. I can't find my post regarding my first impressions of the visual novel, but from what I can recall, it is only good. My inner emotions tell me so! Booting up the visual novel again in so long, I was greeted with the nostalgic opening main title ost. The signature ost. Hauntingly beautiful. Just as I remembered. Legit goosebumps, and I was hurting from the inside. Not physical pain, but more like my soul crying and yearning. (A feeling I get from something that I cherish) "Main title" and "milky night" are my two favorites of the ost. Now that I finished, "Mossland is a sound" and "Daisy in the dusk" are added onto my favorites! Really love those two tracks as well!
Well... unto my conclusion. I can't help but agree with others that the visual novel felt "rushed." After two/three years of realizing that the visual novel was fully "completed" and booting it up again to finish, I was expecting more, but I guess not. I guess it probably depends on who you pursue for the story to be longer? And of course choices would probably be a factor as well. In my case, I pursued the wonderful Octavia! She was my priority. In simple terms, my ending with her got me feeling like the main opening ost, "Main Title" and "Milky Night" The love of my life, Octavia... Why? When? And where? I need you... Please come back, or at the very least, take me with you... How we left things... Heightened the feelings that I have for the osts "Main title" and "Milky Night" even more. I cherish those two specific ost all the more now because of us. I understand them on a whole new level now. I'm left wondering, and wandering aimlessly. "Passing pretty blondes in the streets sometimes even makes you do a double-take, but its never her."
"You know what it is that is absent, just as clearly as you know you'll never have it."
"No amount of cash can ever sweeten your days as much as Octavia's smile would have, and the laughter of women who hang on your words will never be as brilliant or as lovely as that of your math teacher."
"You crave the sound of her voice, the warmth of her touch, and the delicate feel of her breath on your neck."
"Passing pretty blondes in the streets sometimes even makes you do a double-take, but its never her."
"Octavia changed your life for the better. You became who you are because she gave you her love. You keep that feeling of brightness and gratitude inside you still, and no one can ever take it away."
Endings like these... They are the worst. Bittersweet. In fact, I honestly LOVE endings like these, yet I truly hate them too because they hurt me. A lot... You get the woman, yet you don't. No happily ever after, but there is hope... Maybe... I truly am hurt guys. I don't think visual novels are good for my health. Perhaps I should start playing crappy ones instead. Peace and have a great night yall. A bawling me with thumbs up for the visual novel guys. Thank you to all those that made "Milky Touch" possible. Sure it was rushed, but it still got to me.
