A prequel to 2236 A.D. which features a nonsensical story between man and AI that seems heartwarming but may actually be heartwarming. In other words, it's a visual novel about how Masuko is cute.

The day is January 1, 2236 A.D. and the start of the year hasn't gone as well as it could have.
(*It's a really awesome smartphone)
This is a nonsensical story between man and AI that seems heartwarming but may not actually be heartwarming.

[h1][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34294631/] Follow Far2close - Visual Novel Playthroughs Curator Page [/url][/h1] [b]2236 A.D. Secretary Stories[/b] Developer: Chloro Publisher: Sekai Project [h1]Intro:[/h1] It's a new year and your trusty smart tools P.A.S.S., Masuko, has purchased a three thousand coin balance card to celebrate. There's a problem with it though, you actually received three million coins. Unsure on what to do, you and Masuko not spend it all in case it gets retracted. From here on out, are small events that you and Masuko experience for the year, until things happen related to that three million coin card. This story focuses on characters from the main visual novel, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/800820/2236_AD/]2236 A.D.[/url] It should not be considered a prequel, but more as a comedic spin-off. [h1]Pros:[/h1] [b]1.[/b] The story is light, but it does provide wholesome and funny moments with Yotsuba's P.A.S.S., Masuko. It is a fine contrast compared to [i]2236 A.D.[/i]s dramatic and heartbreaking story. [b]2.[/b] The characters are all the same as I remember, but this story does focus more on Yotsuba, Masuko, and slightly Hime's P.A.S.S., Yoshinaga. Masuko is simply just an A.I., but she is caring and wholesome. As Yotsuba's P.A.S.S., she is loyal and follows Yotsuba's desires and instructions. Yotsuba is more careful in this story as it does show when he first gets Masuko along with keeping Masuko even if she's outdated. Yoshinaga is a more updated P.A.S.S., but she's not as social and not as emotive as Masuko, much likely due to Hime not being so reliant on her. The characters are all great and it is nice to experience more with Masuko and Yoshinaga. [b]3.[/b] The art is great and is much more consistent, the sprites also have more variations and some additions to facial expressions. I also enjoy the CG art of Masuko staring at us as like a callback to Hime and Haru's CG art in [i]2236 A.D.[/i]. I also enjoyed seeing some of the cute diagrams explaining cloud storage and local storage between Masuko and Yoshinaga. [b]4.[/b] The music is excellent again with tracks being composed by [url=https://prhyzmica.com/]Prhyzmica[/url] and [url=https://www.youtube.com/@chloro2236]Mokine[/url]. The theme [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_1crwPfDsc]Juliet[/url] is upbeat and gives a feeling of a new age, a futuristic era. The ending theme [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQne6ip3y4]SOLVED10[/url] is just like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ontC6Kar75M]SOLVED9[/url] but instead of human vocals, it utilizes vocalization using Hatsune Miku. I thought this was fitting for the theme of the visual novel. [h1]Cons:[/h1] [b]1.[/b] The story is extremely light, and is loose on the beginning conflict. If you are looking for a full fledged story, you might be better off playing the original [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/800820/2236_AD/?curator_clanid=34294631]2236 A.D.[/url] This visual novel serves as something if you really enjoy [i]2236 A.D.[/i] and just want to see Masuko and Hime again. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but this is something good to understand. [h1]Conclusion:[/h1] A harmless and wholesome spin-off that focuses on Masuko and Yotsuba's adventures together. Good for its own thing, but don't expect a groundbreaking story. [b]Score:[/b] 7/10 GOOD

無料とは思えないクオリティ。 どうやら本命である有料ゲームのプロローグに当たるのが本作みたいだ。 内容としては かわいいよマスコ 怖いよマスコ ちょっとあれな性格してる主人公 綺麗な先輩 脳を刺激するSF設定 以上、レポっす。
いいスピード感のビジュアルノベルだった 疾走感を感じる
可以作为正作的开胃菜 补全很多设定
I don't even really know what the story was supposed to be about, but it was pretty bad. Any visual novel is probably better than this one, but I have not played a lot so I cannot say for certain.
2236 A.D. Secretary Stories works well as a supplement to 2236 A.D.'s story if you've already experienced that, but it won't offer much beyond what you've already come to understand and know. It also won't entirely prepare you for how deep and complicated a lot of 2236 A.D.'s themes can be, nor how dense and dark its narrative can get. If you don't plan on reading or haven't already read 2236 A.D. there's not gonna be much here, and beyond that it's not entirely needed before jumping into the main game proper. But if you're like me and wanted more time with cute Personal AI Secretary System, Masuko, then this'll definitely treat you well over its 2 hour runtime.
I am deeply disappointed in humanity, the year is 2023 and we still don't have cute secretary A.I. 's widely available. [h1] 天门中断楚江开,碧水东流至此回。 [/h1]
