VN - Others - Completed - Radiance of Summer [Final] [fujikino]

This game is short, but that doesn't make it worth your time.

In terms of sexual content, the art is fairly high quality, BUT you're only getting enough CGs to count on one hand. You can see almost all of them from the previews on the thread, so the only thing you're really getting by playing the game itself is plot and atmosphere.

Speaking of plot, I feel like this VN just doesn't execute an NTR plot very well, which is the main reason for my low rating. Some of my specific gripes and other thoughts can be found below:


TL;DR the plot attempts to take itself seriously, but the absurdity of its premise combined with a breakneck pace results in it being difficult to understand character motivations/intentions, which in the end makes it less effective than a more cliche plot.

While a lot of these problems could be fixed by giving the story more scenes to build the characters and world more, since the game is now completed it is what it is.

The atmosphere of the game is decent, with some decent SFX and BGM, as well as the fully-voiced female dialogue being a nice touch. That being said, immersion doesn't help much if what you're being immersed IN isn't good.

A short story with "untouchable flower" theme, I think NTR enjoyer will love this.

It has good art and is pretty unique too (it's a shame that there are only few cgs. Also, most of the h scenes is NTR content btw).

The female lead is fully voiced (I think this took a large portion of the game's size). Voice acting is quite well, although there're many times when her voice suddenly get too loud so beware of that.

Story wise, it's decent. It did tell us about the past and how the relationship between the two main characters building up and breaking apart. But as the game is very short, you may not feel related to the mc or be too attached to the fml much.

First and foremost, at the moment of writing this there is no NTR tag, but this IS a netorare game (not netori, your girl is getting violated unpleasantly by another man). If you do not like netorare stay away. I thought it's a netori story so i took an L by playing this, but oh well. It doesn't affect my score but i feel like i should warn others about it.

It's an extremely short, 30-40 mins, kinetic novel with a very pleasant style, decently written dialogues and voice acting and a barebones story that kinda stops in the middle of the narrative (you steal your girl back from the fiance after all but the game ends right there). There is only one animation and couple CG's, and they look nice but it's just too little.

Overall it's a decent short kinetic novel, but nothing more than that.
