>Overall, I thought Fading Hearts was a delightfully strange and addictively fun game. It offered me a visual novel experience that took archetypical Japanese elements and showcased them in a refreshing way that made the familiar seem shiny and new again. It also had a variety of gameplay elements and a solid soundtrack with a sweet opening theme. If Fading Hearts is a hint of things to come from Sakura River, then I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for their future projects. Until then, I'll just play Fading Hearts a few more times because there are still more secrets for me to uncover.

From a reviewer who gave Ever17 a 93/100 three years ago.

Protip: All video game ratings are on a scale of 85/100 to 95/100. An 87/100 is pretty shitty.

Now, where have I seen this before?

Oh yeah, that's right. The backdrop and name are awfully familiar.
This is probably one of those fan-made games that incited some "rage" back when /jp/ played visual novels. Was it the one with the bloggers, maybe?

Someone should upload it. Can't be worse than disney.

The game you're talking about is Fading Hearts Parallel, a Fading Hearts sidestory released before the actual game. It was so bad it was good.

Huh, if it weren't for me checking the site I would never have known that an Atelier game (Atelier Annie) was released on the DS. How was it?

[Anonymous No.]

Oh god. I remember when /jp/ got its hands on the demo. It was a fucking abomination. There was also that video from the Dragon's Den or something where the guy goes on TV and embarasses himself.

It's also on my FTP (ftp://145.120.9.54, Anonymous, /jp/) in case you prefer downloading from there.

It's interesting to see how much they've improved. They've changed from hilariously bad to mediocre for an OELVN (so still pretty bad compared to real VNs). If they make another leap in quality like this, they might actually make something good.

Also, Y2K orphans.
'Rina: "I was really lucky to have Claire as a friend. And you..."
Rina: "...we're both Y2K orphans. I can talk to you about things like that because we both share the same problems."
Ryou: "Y2K orphans..."
Seven years ago, the Y2K bug struck the country of Sorayama.
There was widespread panic because the technologies we relied on failed in the new millenium.
Buses...planes...traffic lights...the economy...all stopped because our computers did not have more than two digits representing the year.
A Y2K orphan is someone whose parents died during the panic.
Rina and I are two of those unfortunate children.'

This same reviewer reviewed Ever17 without even playing the Coco route yet. Obviously the Coco route was god level, but I still kinda don't trust him.

Any other reviews?
