v0.1.1
I'm honestly blown away. I don't do reviews for games just starting out(its not fair to devs) but for this VN i just had to because it was masterfully crafted.
Comparing this to dev's other series, this VN is leaps better. Dev's other game feels like a generic incest harem maker. Siren Song though is a beautiful romance film.
The narrative is superb, its organic and heartfelt. An emotionally absorbing story played out by a stellar cast. Characters look stunning or more accurately fitting and they feel real, their personalities, their mannerisms. There's chemistry between them. Helps a lot with the melodious music that compliments the scenes(don't turn off the music, it sets the atmosphere for the scenes). The tone of writing is very personal. Pacing is perfect.
I'm curious about how the other characters, especially the estranged wife, will play into the story. The mending relationship and blooming romance with Charlotte is picture perfect but other women jumping in on the wagon might break the magic. Will there be rekindling of the romance with the wife? Afterall, she fell for her husband the same way her daughter did.
Dev should dump the other series and go all in on this one(kidding, his other works are really good too). It is that good, a masterpiece. And its just the first chapter. Which can be a good or bad thing as pilot episode's primary purpose is to impress, thats where most of the creativity juices, budget and production value goes to. Having said that, i'm hopefully that dev can maintain that level of quality in the storytelling & production.
