AMPLITUDE: A Visual Novel

The moral of the story? haha teenagers go brrrrrr

Amplitude has a really interesting story. You get a bit more insight into the story as [spoiler]Adam/Jon[/spoiler] than as [spoiler]Eve/Katy[/spoiler], though I'm unsure yet how much of each story exposition shifts if you select [spoiler]Adam/Katy or Eve/Jon[/spoiler] as a combination. It seems as though certain elements are tied to Jon, others to Katy, some to Adam, and others to Eve. While the story is great, the text/writing...not so much. I'm not sure whether the game was written in another language and later translated, but many of the lines use incorrect verb tense and other grammatical errors that can sometimes make the conversations feel a bit stilted. In at least one place in Katy's route, there's a response that seems to be erroneously coded as Jon, which confused me, since at first, I thought that Jon overheard the conversation and jumped into it, since Katy had already met him at that point (I think it was a conversation with Cam). Likewise, there's one exchange on Jon's route, where his response is listed as Katy. That said, having read through poorly-translated-but-with-a-good-storyline VNs in the past, this wasn't a deal breaker for me. Crafting....I really like that you don't get dinged for time when you make things. However, the craft mode screen can be really hard to decipher sometimes. You can't hover over to see what the items are (and some items, like the needle, can be hard to see in the recipe list). The window should be larger, so that items don't require the sidescroll (which also isn't visually obvious). It would be nice to be able to see your craft mode window while shopping, rather than having to toggle back and forth between shopping, and your inventory. Missions...I like that these clearly outline the days of the week you can find someone. It would be nice if you could filter out the completed ones and just see pending. Overall, really interesting game - I plan on giving it at least one more run through to get all the [spoiler]creepy dolls[/spoiler] because I want to see what happens....

This game was a complete breath of fresh air. The story is very different from other visual novels you play. You have some stats to build, but they are minimal and by no means take away from the relationships you are trying to build with the people around you. They tie into the entire mystery of the game and actually HELP you solve the various mysteries of the game. You play as a spirit who was murdered and you get to share a vessel with someone else and neither one of you are really having an easy time of things. I am not going to put spoilers into my review so I will leave it at that. Let's just say that you choose your gender, you choose the gender of the person who you want to share the body of (my favorite is the female of both) and once you start this visual novel and actually get into the story- you will be hooked. One time playing is not nearly enough to get the entire story either. I LOVED this game.

Amateur graphic, but music and story are worth the money. I like there is 2 side of story. And that we get some rise stats, stray around city, so it;'s not only visual novel. Hope this group would make another visual novel.
