Finished かまいたちの夜 輪廻彩声.
Or at least I think I finally got all the endings unless there's something more after the gold bookmark's sound drama which wouldn't be surprising considering how absolutely ludicrous the requirements for the previous ones were.

I first went in totally blind and if nothing else, this was definitely the most unique VN I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of experiencing. It's difficult to say anything about the game without spoiling, but most likely you'll either find it genius or just retarded depending on how much you like the main gimmick. Either way if you plan on playing it don't break out a walkthrough until you've gotten completely stuck. Personally I'm having a hard time deciding whether to recommend it or not, mainly because I didn't find the actual stories themselves that engaging.

I feel like a fool for expecting the game to make some sort of sense by the end, like a short meta plot wrapping everything up as payoff rather than just more parodies. Even a vocal credits roll would have been appreciated. Or do the non-remaked sequels add something of substance? Probably the closest similar game I can think of is 蜜柑 considering the story structure / meta stuff / reusing characters in different roles, though in its case the stories of different genres were the main premise rather than something that creep up later on in subsequent routes, and it did have a payoff which I would've appreciated in this game as well.

It's the nature of mystery games, but sorry about that. Point is, overall I didn't find the story or characters particularly interesting (unless I'm stupid / missed something and there's still mysteries to uncover) and whether you find the game worthwhile or not depends entirely on how much you like a certain thing the game has going on for itself, which may be clever but don't expect it to lead to some satisfying finale tying all the loose threads together. Saying more would spoil the firsthand experience, reason I'm recommending to dive into it completely blind if you're going to play it at all.

Production values are pretty good: I think the sprites + edited photographic backgrounds work well, and there's plenty of CGs even for things that take only a few lines, not to mention all the characters including the protagonist are also fully voiced. Gameplay wise there's a truly huge fuckton of choices and a convenient in-game spaghetti flowchart scene select, so people looking for more interactive VN are going to probably like that as well.

Having played all of ANIM M&W's titles thus far, they get progressively better as time goes on. The first one is pretty meh imo, and it doesn't really pick up until #3 and the titles beyond that, like Delivery Mama and the newest title Koishiteru.

Mama ja Irarenai! #3 is basically #1 done a LOT better, whereas #2 is good if you like 'tiger mothers' or whatever the fuck they are called, the super strict type.

In the end they are all nukige, so just play whatever scratches your itch. Delivery Mama is personally my favorite of the bunch though, but YMMV.

Now, little sister would be something different. Gotta be a good big brother and bully them into fine young ladies who'd rather not marry their own brother anyway. My eroge knowledge tells me that's very important in Japan. Feels like there's a good 90% chance for incest if the girl has a brother. That's pretty alarming. Of course 80% of that aren't blood related or cousins or whatever.

Kinda done with Astral Air. I could make this short and just write: It's shit. But it's shit in a really unfortunate way.

Basically the whole thing feels like it's written like it's a manga, LN or whatever else linear work. Then they cut the arcs apart and made it into a multi route VN in the worst way possible. The common route choices don't do anything in the common route. They ONLY decide which route you get to. At the same time characters behave entirely different based on the route you are. If it's a character's route, she may serious mental issues because of something specific happening. If it's not her route, that doesn't happen. Even if what caused it in her route happens again, perhaps even worse. The whole multi route system works like that. Nothing new, Hoshimemo did it as well. Common route events caused a heroine to have a major existential crisis. But only if you were on her route. Because that makes sense. I'd say Astral Air is probably not THAT bad, but this made every route past the first worse and worse for me. Regardless of if the route itself could be good or not. The more routes you clear, the more bullshitty and convenient everything looks. Because SOME things ARE consistent. It's a freakin' mess of convenience. And it hurts. I pretty much gave up by route 4.

This isn't all yet. You'll be skipping quite a bit through common for the hell of it. Choices not changing everything in common, with you needing to skip for the heck of it, isn't too rare. Although luckily more and more VN devs realize that if they are lazy anyway, may as well give a direct route selection. But this ends up adding random scenes into the common trunk later on. This is also why a new flag means you need to start from the very beginning again. Who the heck cares about 5 minute long new scenes here and there when you skip through common again and again and AGAIN, not even based on your choices? Pretty pointless looking scenes, too.


I don't think the writer of this should write multi-route stuff like this. I liked the stuff he did that had only 1 or 2 "routes". Everything else just suffers so hard from branching, although if you can ignore that, this may be more interesting for you. The characters are good enough, although you'll probably think some of the heroines should've been swapped with some of the side characters. Can't say much about the story, other than that it's SLOW and doesn't seem very interesting/good, but I could never get to care much with the weird branching anyway. It's just so freaking weird when you see a major story component revealed that influenced several things, and next route all of those things no longer happen which means this story component no longer makes any sense as the requirements for it to exist aren't really there anymore. I know, you can't just repeat major arcs all the time, but this isn't a solution. Gah. I'll probably see how the Hinata route turns out in the FD and that'll be that.

>>18603265
Probably, yes. It's just something that I don't like. Specific events only happening in one route even if they should happen in all of them given that their trigger lies in common or is simply happening all the time. And then what was a major problem before may no longer be one, which made me wonder why the fuck these characters were bumping their heads against each other for hours a route ago. Sure, their problem was solved then, but if the problem is solved in a completely different route within one minute, or doesn't even exist, then I'm out. To me, that's not how branching is supposed to work.
I can accept it if it's just the protag who continuously "develops" during enforced stuff (as a mirror for the player), it's not too much or some loop setting of course, but it can be anything here including important plot arcs involving many characters.

That said, I can't judge the main story of Astral Air like this. Even if you are fine with this weird way of using routes, that doesn't necessarily mean the rest is great. Given that it's the same main writer as in Hoshimemo, so if you like that it should be an obvious choice to try Astral Air. Be careful of Hoshi Koi * Twinkle though. That's pretty turdy in general, EGS agrees with me there.

And this is your sister from the magical world. Although her brother is identical to you I guess random chance caused her to look and act different than your sister from the real world. I guess the sperm which impregnated your mother the second time in the magical world wasn't the same. That actually makes more sense to me than everyone's the same in a parallel world.

So which should I go after? The real sister from the real world? Or the sister from the magical world? I realize that if I go for the sister from the magical world that frees up HER brother to marry YOUR sister. Both imoutos would be happily married to their brother but nobody would look at them funny. But then they aren't the true sister they grew up with. Although they would make both sisters very happy the brothers wouldn't be with their true imouto.

I'm in a fix.

I always find it so weird that in Japanese media (guess it's the same in real life for them) parents are completely fine with two opposite-gendered children being in the same room together, alone. But I guess it's fine, it's probably my personal culture that is more retarded in that case. I find it really hard to stomach though, that in this game, the protag, who is 20-something, gets to go to Yuuna's room while the parents are home.

Of course, it's not like this game doesn't require a willing suspension of disbelief, but this is just something I always notice.

Depends on what you want. Meguru's was pretty fine in Sanoba Witch, even though it's not what you sign up for. The writer does take care to show why it's not what you signed up for and it's probably one of the better showcases of how relationships progress without rushing too much or even forgetting the main plot or other characters. You'd not want this route all the time, as it somewhat doubles as a dating manual in some ways, but it's not like this style is too common. Can be pretty cheesy at some points later on, but that's usually not a big problem if you don't dislike the route already anyway.

Senren Banka didn't really have good stuff though, unless you count the common route as a route. It's fairly standalone. It generally suffers from the girls being the best outside of their own routes.

I know some games use face portraits when the screen is full of other sprites, or even in general to mirror the expression of the bigger sprite. I also know that some games have only one big sprite per character and only shows different expressions with the face sprite. (alice-soft likes to do this)

Only did the prologue so far, so barely saw them. But could be. Otherwise I like Agnes.

So far I'm mostly impressed by the art and such. Sprites can be anywhere on the screen and they play around with putting them on a background to simulate a little 3d effect with different sizes and whatnot. There's also a back-view for them. I also feel like the art is just generally pretty beautiful. Maybe it's just me, but that aspect got a little worse with their newer games, though I didn't play any to see it in action. (some use emote I think)

Anyway, I like sprite usage like in this game. The 4/3 resolution really limits this, but there aren't exactly a lot of games doing pic related style things. Can't be picky.

So far it's just: Do exactly what people tell you. Not sure if this would ever change, as that's probably the idea. The hints are probably just getting a little more obscure as time goes on. So instead of "we should defend!" more like "a strong attack seems to be coming. The enemy shows no obvious opening.".

That said, for that reason as well, I worry that repeated battles may be annoying. It's fine once, but the same battle more than once is probably not too fun.

>>18653172
>not very good
Interesting. It's one of the few VNs where characters actually have different valid opinions without clear black and white and the characters are looked at it in fitting ways. Although if you know your chuuni, it's going to be a bit weird that the typical "super villain" esque crazy shota is more laughed at than anything else, even though he is super strong. Kinda. Till he gets killed so quickly, it's hard to believe he's really gone. But he sure is. Provided you don't go into any of the additional routes added in EXS. Those are shit, and probably by completely different writers.
That additional content destroys so much. Can't enter new routes at first, but you can kinda change some things in the first playthrough, which can mess things up. Hard. Especially Momiji's last major arc can go from being really great to making no freakin' sense at all.

Well, one could also say: It's all a Momiji show. Like her and it's great. Don't and you'll be bothered by how much the other characters get shafted so she can be awesome. You know, for one character to be great, others have to be flawed to an extend so she can tell them to fuck of, laugh at them or whatever.

I just can't understand how. It's not like it's the best thing ever or something, but it's one of the few works trying to actually make sense and give everyone involved reasonable ways of thinking and acting. In other words, it's actually fairly well written. If you can stomach the chuuni battles that are, by themselves, not really interesting. They do have good music and aren't always predictable though, so there's that. And they are more about the underlying clash in opinions and goals anyway, so you have your good amount of discussion as well. In VNs and LNs that's pretty nice for battles, if you ask me. For anime it'd be pretty bad. (looking at you Fate Zero adaption..)

Maybe it was just not your thing. There are a couple of things that are not too common with eroge in general that may rub you the wrong way. For example the constant pov swapping, the MC not actually being in a lot of battles for quite a while and so on. But in exchange it really creates a lot of good characters, with the only real weakness that the game has being by nature of its design. People die. There's only so much room for battles which meant that some characters remain comparatively shallow. Sakura is a good example, where you'd think you'd get a lot more for. But in the end she's simply what she is and little more. A weapon.

Started playing this recently since it seemed like an easy first read. Good Lord am I tired of the 姫野 flashbacks. Even after the common route they still persist. (I assume the MV playing and the introduction of アルファ marked the end of the CR, dunno though since I'm kinda new to VNs). Went with 新堂 first but I've barely seen any of her. Hopefully that changes soon. Hopefully they actually make 新堂 instrumental in 國見 getting the fuck over 姫野 and it's not just "uh I got rejected so uh, please blow me". Also, I hope they stop giving ゆい screen time, I like her more than I thought I would and she's making me want to switch routes.

You shouldn't lump everyone together, not everyone who didn't like it thinks it's "NTR" I think that's mostly a meme who only the most obsessed ones would believe. I personally love heroines who don't give a shit and feel like actual independent humans and I also dislike the obsession with purity because I feel it's been stalling the eroge industry for too many years, but this scenario in a game marketed as 純愛 genuinely felt like an ill-intentioned troll against fans. That said, the writer took an hiatus after this and he seemed a bit shaken about it so I don't think it was his intention to anger readers. He probably just wanted to do something original and didn't pull it off well, pair that with bad coordination with the rest of the team and the result won't look well.

Finished Arcadia no Tomoshibi.

Both stories kind of fell flat towards their ends, and Rakuen no Shugosha felt pretty cliche in general. However it has literally no moe or cute girls whatsoever so there's that if you're looking for a complete change of pace. Despite being entirely different genre, medium and country of origin, the main moral dilemma and religious undertones reminded me the most about the Tom Hanks movie Green Mile, but if you want that sort of thing you're just better off watching that. The page for the game actually mentions Hollywood-like action so it wouldn't be surprising if another film was acting as inspiration as well.

Personally I liked the setting of Marrybell more, particularly because I first thought the story was going to leave people and parts of cities disappearing from real world semi-frequently but no one ever noticing as unexplained plothole considering the scope of the game, but it's actually brought up at the end. However regarding the main story I was expecting more grittier focus on the "in debt in isekai" aspect and stuff like Midori beginning 水商売, but both conveniently get thrown out of the window pretty much altogether later on and the game mostly focuses on the culture shock of the characters. On the other end I didn't feel the game had enough time to develop the stuff with characters using real life knowledge of technology and other shit either, aside from the first protagonist Yuuya and hastily throwing that shit at the very end for all the other characters as well..

I think Rakuen no Shugosha at least nailed its part of the two games' shared title words 「創造するのか、護るのか。」 but Marrybell could've focused on its "creating" part much sooner and in depth, though I guess it could be just referring more to the characters creating their own 楽園 mentally and finding the world fun rather than just Yuuya's more concrete idea of changing the world they live in with science. Overall both stories were playable enough but nothing really managed to stand out.

Done with Campanella. In short: Watching the anime instead is probably better.

It's been a while since I saw this problematic writing. Doesn't show itself very fast, but it gets worse and worse as it goes on. Repetition. It doesn't matter what. Everything gets repeated. Even if you like a gag once or twice, prepare to see it 50 times more. Yes, eroge generally suffer from padding and this kind of repetition, but this game is insane in that regard. The status quo is kept, no progress allowed for a good 10 hours with the characters being shallow as heck. Also giggling. A LOT of giggling.

For example, you've got yourself the princess and guild "leader", one of the main heroines. Think the princess and guild leader part does anything at all? No. You can easily forget that's part of her character. The only thing she does is saying "ikenai", whenever another girl gets close to the protag. If you ever play this and want to get wasted: Drinking game for every ikenai. Needless to say, it gets annoying. The characters all suffer more or less, with the best ones being barely alright.
This status quo also really hurts some characters. The twins are a good example. Kinda side characters, but their antics are fun for a bit. Until you realize, that it's essentially the same thing all the time. At times even exactly the same lines and all. Worst is: Once you've seen this a few times, you'll probably think that one of the twins is really not deserving what she goes through. She gets messed with by her sister way too much, which can be funny for a bit, but if you repeat it 50 times, you kinda need to do a little more so that dynamic works. In fact, it needs to be a dynamic, not just a one-sided assault all the time.

So, when you finally have some plot happening, it comes out of the blue and vanishes 5 minutes later, as if nothing happened. Nice. Also any kind of plot relevant scene sure will still derail and do random things and "comedy" you've seen 500 times before so that it's not getting too boring. My favorite here was a plot letter that was read. Every freaking sentence you had 10 lines commenting, joking and/or explaining this one line. Or how about the epic final battle our heroes just arrive at, the climax oft the plot, just to show what everyone else is up to. For half an hour. Climax? Hah!


I've seen my fair share of padding in this medium. This however was insane. Fittingly the average time people spent on it on EGS is 20 hours, for a close to 3mb unique script. Which translates to people having read one out of the 4 routes on average. For good reason. It's why I think, watching the anime may just be better. The fandisc is something else is well. They decided to make a single player quiz game for it. Which is already VERY questionable, but if you consider how everything in the story and world screams RPG, there are battles in the main game (without stats, just choices) and whatnot, THIS is what they thought they could do as a little bit of "gameplay"? Yikes. Poor Garnet. I wonder how many people bothered with that shit.

You could just do the fandisc routes for them. I only went through one of them, but it wasn't a sequel to the main game's route. If they aren't available from the start for whatever reason, you can use a complete save. You could do that for the main game as well. Not like their stuff builds up on the other routes or anything. It's an extra chosen from the main menu and like 2 hours long.

For the first writer's half you can play them in any order you want, but just picking the obvious branching choices when prompted is the easiest. The order the game presents is Miyabi > Tonoko > Shino.
The second writer's half has semi-reinforced order that saves Yuuna's route for last and lets you pick one of the other two in any order you want, but make doubly sure you play it in Sumika > Misaki > Yuuna order, because Misaki's route casually spoils Sumika's route. It's weird that they didn't just reinforce all three.

>>18664473
I personally found only Yuuna's route from Marutani's half stand out, not that I hated Sumika and Misaki's routes. Overall I liked Takehaya's half more.

Yeah I actually agree, I still thought it was interesting, especially for their first game. I'm not very fond of Shinto stuff in general either but I'm still enjoying it so far.

Because it was the general consensus to read Maruto's older stuff first, so I can see how he borrows ideas from them.

This general consensus is news to me. Read them in whatever order you want. It's not like you can't appreciate the same thing in reverse.

>>18672689
Yeah, but either way doesn't hurt, I think.

On another note, and just for confirmation, the introductory chapter was nothing, right?

I didn't shed a single tear. maybe I should have but idk experiencing a similar drama in rl just recently probably played part.

I guess it varies from person to person. I too didn't really shed much tears or feel very sad for a lot of the VN, the only hard-hitting part of the game is Kazusa true, in my opinion.

Feeling sorta sad because I spent 2+ days setting up clubbox so the piece of shit actually works and now I can't think of anything to actually download/play.

Currently dl'ing D ~その景色の向こう側~ because I'm still salty the Siberian spy train part from Yamibou will never be made into its own game and it seems this is the next similar thing, anyone played it? Is it good?

It's all about the exposition. If it's not a well-lit room even though it has windows, then you'll either get burnt out windows or a picture where the windows are well-exposed, but everything else is (more or less) black.
