/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Just finished Sharkge. What a fun game. Not perfect by any means but it has a very fresh feeling to it and I had a great time just immersing and getting swept up in the heroines and the plot. I really enjoyed the island setting and the colorful and detailed backgrounds as well.

I don't think I've ever seen that before and I really didn't think they'd just go for that last part after everything, kek.

The individual routes were all enjoyable but varied a lot. Remi's was the most developed and exciting and really gave that kind of fun B-movie feel I think the VN was going for more than any other route. Kuuko is best girl and her becoming your brocon imouto was way too good.. Amane's was probably my favorite as a romance and really showed her charm (I didn't even expect to like her), but the plot kind of falls off in the second half and felt more like an h-scene marathon with some bits of story in between. Maruri's route was really good but would have benefited from getting a full route treatment with more visuals and actually showing the 3P scene. Touka was the shortest and most underdeveloped, which was disappointing since I really like her as a heroine. Kuuko "helping" you escape by killing everyone in your path was pretty funny though.

Neesan is too much of a hag for me but I did enjoy the story of her route and everything falling apart into the darkest timeline yet as they cling to each other for comfort, it had a unique kind of feeling to it and made me feel more than the other routes for the most part.

I know there's some complaints that the villains went down too easily in the grand route, but I think it makes sense well enough within the logic of the story and there's not that much point in picking at it. They probably should have made more than one backup of their weakest point though. Through the entire grand route I couldn't stop thinking how fun it all was to read. I guess I was the true 野蛸 all along. I think it definitely could have used more CGs, which is something I could say about the whole game really. Though considering how much they emphasized the idea of making something entertaining with what limited resources you have, you could say the parts that are lacking add to the feel of the game in one sense.
