About
As a reserved and unassuming university student in snow-bitten Hokkaido, the personal tragedy which visited Honoka Asakawa would lead to her experimentation in a magical art thought long-lost — blood magic. Unexpectedly able to visit the sealed world of Meiji-era Sapporo, Honoka's quickly taken under the wing of the cheerful and bright Lady Yasue, a powerful mage who's remained in this gilded cage for a century.
As their feelings for each other develop, the true repercussions of Honoka's first steps into the secret world of magic and mages are only just starting to play out, eventually leading to catastrophic consequences.

Wow. Okay, going to avoid spoilers. First, let's get some mechanical details out of the way. This is a novel in which you do not make choices. You are here to experience a story with a single ending, and holy **** what a story. It is hard for me to be objective, having just finished and enjoyed it so very much. Usually I'd wait a day or two to mull things over, but I wanted to get this out there immediately. This is a well-written fantasy with a lot of ups and downs. It left me in tears many times, and had me boiling over in fury just as often. The characters acted in a consistent fashion, their motives were understandable, and by the end of the experience, I found their choices were aligned with their motives. There are some very intense events that come up in this story. As the description so clearly warns, this is not a light-hearted tale. I will refrain from repeating it all, but suffice it to say these warnings are valid. There are people for whom this would be a very negative, triggering experience (self-harm, blood, violence, suicidal ideation). Unfortunately, if those are triggers for you, this is not a good novel to read. The romance at the heart of this tale resonated with me. Anyone who has ever lost their greatest love is likely to appreciate this aspect of the story. There are opportunities where the text could have been edited (particularly in chapters 3/4) to tighten the tale. There are clashes that seem overdone. I believe a bit of that screen time could have been better invested fully establishing Yasue's feeling towards the one who imprisoned her. This would serve the story well in the final chapters. I am tip-toeing carefully away from spoilers, because I do not wish to ruin anything about this novel. The art is charming and the characters are beautifully detailed, as you can clearly see in the samples provided in the game's reel. The music is excellent, too. Both support the emotions conveyed in the text. I would have liked to see a few more images (particularly when characters hold hands or embrace) but that is only an encouragement for the author so they can make even better games in the future. It is not a complaint. To those who can handle the various dark elements, I confidently recommend this. It may make you cry, it may infuriate you as it explores injustice. It is absolutely worth the journey.
美术优秀、设定也足够吸引人、BGM还有音效的也是非常不错的,但是作为视觉小说最重要的难道不是剧情吗? 前面两章吊足胃口突然仓促结束?感情线几乎可以说是没有,后期剧情更是混乱,感觉编剧像是把自己梦到的东西写进了剧本似的。 整个剧情像是沾了番茄酱的塑料袋一样,舔掉一开始的番茄酱后就只剩垃圾了。
Studio Elan как всегда на высоте. Классно нарисованные персонажи, озвучено японскими сейю (Русская девушка Татьяна на русском разговорила без акцента(Они нашли русскую сейю которые озвучивает аниме и она озвучивала русскую девушку) и это круто),в плане сюжета тоже всё норм. Иностранная новелла где действия происходит в Японии где нет лепестков сакуры и духоты. Но... Хотелось бы этого чуть подольше. Хотелось бы чтобы эта история не была такой быстрой. Хотелось бы чуть получше познакомится с Хонокой и остальными. Новелла короткая и это один единственный минус. Рекомендую но лучше брать игру по скидке.
i love this game, please check it out when you have the chance.
這款遊戲堪稱一部關於「純愛如何走向偏執」的教科書式範本,展示感情在錯誤養分下能長成何等離奇的模樣。若要用一個詞總結整個故事,那麼「執著」再貼切不過。遊戲中展示的愛像一條看不見的線,牽引著角色,也牽著玩家,一步步走向錯誤的深淵。 世間對「愛」的詮釋可以溫柔、浪漫、救贖,甚至成熟而克制;而本作則勇敢地選擇了一條地雷密布的道路,將愛拆解成誤解、佔有與自我投射的混合體。它不試圖讓你安心,反而樂於讓你在一次次劇情轉折中反思:原來情感也可以被包裝得如此理直氣壯,卻又處處透著危險的信號。 透過這趟體驗,玩家得以近距離觀察那些理論上「最不值得親身嘗試」的感情樣本。這種安全距離的沉浸,某種程度上就像提前替未來的人生排雷......至少,在遊戲裡踩過的坑,或許能讓現實中的你多幾分清醒。 總評 6分 / 10分
This game is beautifully written, especially with the heavy topics it includes. I also really appreciate the settings to disable visual and auditory depictions of self-harm. Overall an amazing game and I love all the characters introduced so far!

Another quality title from Studio Elan. The premise is intriguing, I enjoy the characters, the CGs are beautiful and there were plenty of moments that put me on edge. I will say the story has some hiccups especially with how rushed it felt near the end. It wasn't enough to impact my enjoyment, but it isn't on the level as Highway Blossoms or Heart of the Woods for me. Still, I had a great time with this game and I would love to visit this world again if I ever get an opportunity.
以下内容存在剧透,请谨慎观看 我觉得这个作品的开篇挺不错的,描述主角在这座雪之城的凛冬中的浑噩生活很引人入胜,看得我北海道瘾犯了,后面画面一转开始血魔法的时候我还很担心是什么异世界转生展开,好在并不是,即使到了另一个领域也还是紧扣在主角的现实生活中的,这点我很喜欢。不过感觉整个故事第一章写得最好,甚至于说故事就这样停在第一章这个部分就已经算是一个比较完整的叙述了,后面解释世界观以及升华主题的笔墨怎么看都有些勉强与匆忙。不过第一章写得真的很美,最终停留在安江与穗花心灵相通的吻上......太美丽了。 后面几章的剧情也不是说很不好,只是我觉得有种想要做成微群像的感觉却没有讲好配角们的故事。第一章一直营造志乃和米原有什么隐情的样子,后面确实也试图去解释她们的隐情,但是有关志乃的动机我一直没看懂,她为什么会加入侦探社来监视女主?因为察觉到魔力波动而觉得女主有意思?可能还有些作者没能写到的前提?(顺便我觉得志乃的人设和定位都很像楢崎小姐)米原的塑造更是可以用“糟糕”来形容,我没看懂她为什么又是厌恶人类又是下命要“保护女主”,搞得我还以为她和穗花之间也有什么故事,结果最后被捅了一刀就破防了,人月代雪至少还能和我们几个主角打几个来回嘴炮呢。就让人感觉她的存在只是作者想要塑造一个作为“反派”的工具,但又不想设计成很浅显的纯粹的恶人,反派必须有苦衷,必须有洗白的余地,可惜这一点并没有写好,用志乃的话来吐槽这人就是“在贯彻自己那幼稚的虚无主义”。另外两个配角安安稳稳地做着剧情推进工具,没那么多糟糕的地方我就不多说了。主要两个配角的塑造就有种作者想要讲好一个故事可惜笔力并不足以支撑美好想法的既视感。还有后面安江被复仇心理吞噬的描写,以及穗花一时鬼迷心窍把身体托付给安江最后又想通了想把安江赶出自己的身体的场景,真的看得我想笑,美女们你们在干嘛,不是说最爱对方愿意为对方献出一切吗,怎么临到关头你们的表现像是一点都不管对方自己是最重要的呢,这种表现就让人觉得她们口中吐出的爱全都是虚假的。不过也能理解吧,毕竟人都是自私自利的。只是我不是很喜欢这种描写。尤其是安江和米原的仇恨还写得这么糟糕的情况,更加难以让人共情。 所以停在第一章是最美的。那种,“虽然这个世界容不下我,但你的身边可以”的氛围就非常棒。不过可能作者还是想写一个更加正向的故事吧,所以必须得把故事拉回到现实中去,不能让穗花沉醉在黄粱一梦中。 美术特别好看,每个cg都很有氛围,尤其喜欢安江和穗花亲吻的那一张。“独献予你的萤火之光,坦白的心意,落在你唇上的吻。”背景美术也很恰当,我还挺喜欢这种实景交融感的美术风格的,有种与现实相连的生活感觉。虽说后续篇章中笔力有些跟不上美术了,但是总体来说两者还是蛮匹配的,共同营造出这个故事的独特氛围感。以及我最喜欢的一点是声音制作,让我很惊喜的是除了普通的bgm,它们还特意做了些声效,比如说写主角在街上闲逛时真的会有街上喧嚣的声音:离得近的女高组合的谈天说地,稍远一点的男生在街头唱歌的声音,更远的没办法听清的声音.......交杂在一起,特别有沉浸感,而且时长应该还不短,我挂着游戏玩手机的时候听到的都没有重复。再配上bgm的烘托与声优的演绎真有种在听广播剧的感觉,体验很不错。还有就是女主的配音竟然是宝生玛格的配音,完全是两种类型的声音,根本听不出来! 还有一点我想说的是感觉这个汉化一会儿神一会儿鬼的,有一些时候的翻译就还挺符合氛围的,有一些时候光看中文根本就看不懂是什么意思,尤其是遇到长难句的时候,知道原版是英版的时候不禁让人怀疑是不是直接机翻了。不过它还会在一些根本没提到人名的句子里加上人名,或者深造一个“亲爱的“出来,所以应该还是人翻的,但是这过度翻译也不太好吧......还有一句话配音原文说的是”我怎么可能忍心干涉相爱的两人呢“,翻译非得翻成”我不忍心干涉相爱的两个女孩子的感情“,原文根本没提性别,非要扯上性别。。。这种细小的偏差就使得原来传递的意思与氛围千差万别啊.....那些听不懂日语的人看来的体验感就又不一样了......
整体来讲不错,但是在打反派那里,操作有点迷人
