A Clockwork Ley-Line: Flowers Falling in the Morning Mist

时钟机关的Leyline -朝雾中飘零之花-，时钟机关系列第三部，结束了，主线终于结束了，鼓掌（无感情）。

如果只看最终章，我给90分，但是三部曲一起看，我只能给70分，前面两章实在太水了，支线更是一章更比一章水，第一章的支线还算是完整的小故事，第二章的支线都不知道是什么玩意了。虽说前面的伏笔，后面都有回收，但感官不太好，一是关联性太弱，比如那个束缚道具，第一章主要的剧情道具，但是最终章出现了，但是感觉前面的剧情可有可无，不影响最终章的体验，二是前两章写得不精彩，没意思，这个才是主要问题。 另外就是这个女主（忧绪）的感情线也是有点糟糕，前两章太尬了，要靠H推进，还是基本独立于主线剧情，写得有点失败，但是第三章就好多了，所以嘛，这个游戏的正确观赏顺序为：忽略支线，直接三章一路主线走起，这样最终章后面还是挺感人和激动哒。 中文替换指南 + 攻略指南制作中……

It's an amazing conclusion to this fantastic 3 part visual novel. The characters are really good, yes, they actually have a great chemistry and interesting dynamics together, but what really blew me away was the overall atmosphere and story. This is one of the few stories that managed to actually surprise me in many ways. Sure, it has a few predictable elements and way too convenient elements that just happen to happen at the perfect place and time. But even with that, it's rare that I encounter such a well written and smart writing. This is how you do a great mystery/fantasy story in a modern setting. The translation quality is superb and I haven't encountered a single typo which rarely ever happens (I might've missed them, but I never actually saw one). I'd say it's worth experiencing this 3 part story just for Ushio, the main heroine, but she's just the icing on the cake. If you like visual novels and hungry for a great mystery/fantasy story with actually good romcom elements here and there, this is a no brainer purchase. For everyone else who just likes to read a good story, please, do yourself a big favor and purchase the first part of this series, A Clockwork Ley-Line: The Borderline of Dusk. And if you liked it, which I'm sure you will, go ahead and purchase the second and this game too! The first game has some issues. It's a bit slow to start, but a great introduction to the main characters, setting and generally how things work. The main couple's relationship also starts out abruptly, without much of anything leading up to it. But really wasn't that big of a deal, as the second game pretty much fixes everything. This is one of my biggest 10/10s for sure!

有点失望，怎么会写的除了忧绪和路易之外正派反派全员智商不在线？ 危机临头整个主角团没有一点紧张感，行动犹如大学水课小组作业。反派也像是草台班子，毫无压迫感。 后续接着这么发展的话，花这么久时间来玩这三部性价比真的不高。而且按这个趋势我感觉结局大概率是机械降神然后包饺子了。 ———————————————— 二编，没白玩

This is an absolutely stunning ending to the 3-part storytelling masterpiece. There are lots of big plot twists in between the different 'episodes', initially confusion might start to wound up, however, there is a lot of explanation put into the different twists that will make you think OHHHH WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT EARLIER. The ambient soundtrack, the gorgeous settings and the beautifully constructed mystery makes someone that came from ace attorney looking for a mystery based VN like it cry in tears of joy. It's an absolutely beautiful conclusion to the masterpiece called A Clockwork Ley-Line. It's often overshadowed by the 9-nine series in popularity probably due to the super exaggerated chunnige elements of it, however, I find the mystery element of this game more condescending than it lets off to be. Initial impressions were dull due to the slow start of episode 1. However, as the episodes progress, everything starts to piece together and make sense after a heck of a confusion ride. Overall a 10/10 and highly recommended. Different people has different tastes however it's worth trying the first episode since it's very cheap.

Everything always come to an end, be it good or bad. That being said, Clockwork Ley-Line Flowers Falling in the Morning Mist is the final sequel for the entire Leyline trilogy. Surprisingly, there are no more stupid choices that will bring you to another side heroine's route, but rather they leave it all playable only after you cleared the entire main story. So it's more of a parallel world thing and it's not canon events (thank god cause I still prefer Ushio to be the main heroine as the side chicks are useless as they don't have much uniqueness) and those side heroines that are available to read are Adelheid, Fuhito, Neko, Tsubaki&Kasumi, Rito, and Mutsuki. The main story, of course, continue with what was being left off from the prequel and also continue both Ushio and Mitsuyoshi's relationship. There are no longer nichijou crap going on, every moment are tensed up, things are happening here and there and you can barely catch a breathe. More and more questions from the prequels are answered and you are super close to the motives behind the antagonist. Plot aside, my main motivation to play Leyline trilogy is the relationship between Mitsuyoshi and Ushio and how they gonna get together, which in this sequel I witness a lot of character development between the both of them. Although they said to "hold on" their relationship as they have a bigger issue to deal with, but there were a lot of flirty moments between both of them and it really makes me want to see them admit their relationship and making it official. I almost got diabetes while reading. It does feel a bit rushed if you ask me but I guess the romance part is just not the major selling point for this visual novel but still, pretty well done. Now that I've finished the entire trilogy, I can say Leyline trilogy is definitely worth to read. As someone who isn't a fan of story that contain elements of mystery case solving + detective, Leyline trilogy was able to make me spend my time to finish it due to its simplistic way of telling story, insane plot twist and delivering answers to the mysteries. Overall Leyline trilogy feels like a 24 episodes of an anime that touch on academy with mysterious case solving and time-traveling genre that pretty much any amateur weebs can enjoy themselves.

本以为在玩过第二部后期高潮剧情后，第三部的前期肯定会有一段过度用的无聊剧情，但是没想到很快剧情就高能不断，一口气打通太爽了。

第三作作为高潮与收束，承上启下直接进入正题，主角团解决事件的方法实在巧妙。 三作推完让人印象深刻的除了剧情的跌宕起伏，然后就是学园长的笑声了，其他的语音或多或少都有跳过，唯独她的浮夸、态度轻浮、喜怒无常正好戳中萌点。 ———————————————————————————————————— 再者仔细一想大部分女性角色的立绘都是长筒袜或者裤袜，甚至背景板的路人也是，甚是感动。 嘛就是忧绪的正脸立绘有点残念。

時計仕掛三部曲最終章 整個系列劇情真的神 你媽的各種反轉看的是真的爽 主線在解謎揭密之餘還不忘灑狗糧 看得我都要飄了 故事配合解謎跟推理，帶入感賊強 系列三部是一個連貫故事 一定要一次推完，感覺完全不一樣 是神作嗎? 只能說差不多了 另外打中文補丁會報錯，媽的

非常好玩
