VN Ren'Py Strangers on Paper [Ch.2 v0.2.2] [Gloomy Ghost Studio]

[tslojr]

Wow, just...wow. I've had this game on my to-do list for over a year now. I've seen people going on and on endlessly about the writing quality, but I generally don't play these until they have at least a couple of chapters out. The posts I've read (mostly on Reddit) about just how good the writing here is really do not do it justice. It always seemed like they were describing "good for an AVN" quality of writing, but this is just great in general. I just finished Chapter 1, and that bar scene with Amy was honestly the most engaging encounter I've ever seen an MC have with a LI. This will absolutely be a day 1 purchase on Steam for me.

Both of us are from Argentina indeed! There's one or two references to that in Chapter 1, and then for Chapter 2 we may have gone a little wild and threw a bunch of them (some very in-the-nose, some just as easter eggs lol)

Buenisimo! I will make my contribution and support you when I can!

Really liked Becca's path, beautiful romance with history(for the MC), slow build up, flirting and explosion of feelings at the end of the 2nd chapter.
The environment is alluring, captivating, quite amazing how good it looks for a game.

One thing i didnt quite get are two things at the very end of the 2nd chapter.

Spoiler: End of chapter 2

人間失格 - Disqualified from being a human or Failure as a human being.

That's the title of a literary masterpiece by Dazai Osamu. Amazing book, definitely recommend.
It goes by the title No Longer Human in the English translation.

There are no animations in this game.

Yes, No Longer Human is the official English title of the book but the japanese translation of 人間失格(ningen shikkaku) also can mean disqualified as a human or something of the sorts. Weird

Yes but it was not here so I was wondering. Anyway, I got my answer now. Ty.

Good question! The reason why they're not there is because we are currently not interested in implementing them, but we don't want to discard the idea altogether as we may change our minds as development progresses. We are aware that, if we were to promise the animations will be there and end up not doing them, some people will fairly take offense.

Although, sure, they can also take offense without any promises being made, so for now we're choosing the gray area until we know for sure.

Don't know about that, I've heard grandmas are loving it.

In all seriousness, yes, the sexual content is as vanilla as it can get and this is not a game about sex, but a story with some sexual scenes, so that's something to keep in mind before trying it out.

 

[Bnshy]

Damn, good second chapter. Hopefully we don't have to wait another year for the third chapter, but if that is what it takes for you guys to make such great content then so be it.

Oh yeah, disqualified as a human is the more accurate translation.
I’m just curious if the author used that particular expression because he’s also a fan of Dazai’s work or solely because Becca’s a completely lost and disenfranchised individual and it fit well with her theme.

 

[La Dani]

Damn, I lost this game last year!
It seems very good, it deserve to download and play ?

It's only Chapter Two. It is extremely well-written and so perhaps the Dev(s) have some surprises in store? I hope so

 

[ModiThorrson]

Loving the story and art but Is anyone else bothered by the bike chain? I've been fixing a jumped chain since I"ve learned how to ride a bike, it's not difficult to get a jumped chain back onto a sprocket. If it were a bent rim or something with the spokes I could see needing an uber, but a jumped chain? Anyway that's just nitpicky of me, over all I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story.

 

[TheRadiator]

If I'm correct this VN only has 2 LI right? Maybe Eris could pop up as one night?

I think maybe Eris (on Becca path) and Julie (on Amy path) could be potential LIs.
