Andromeda Six

I recommend this game, BUT... I expected so much more from it having played a few other upcoming indie VNs also currently in early access. If you're like me - an LGBTQ+ person, who occasionally enjoys a nice & inclusive dating sim - you might be just as disappointed to learn that this one is very much written with the girlies in mind. By this I mean that while yes, you can pick your pronouns in the beginning and take home 1 of 7 different cis people of either sex, you have zero say over the MC's personality, which, in the broadest possible strokes, I can only describe as "all bark, no bite" with the gusto similar to that of a yorkie whose tail got sat on. [i] She [/i], and I do mean she, will occasionally throw out a random witty quip or a challenge to an apparent authority only to then immediately back down when the big strong man finds it less than amusing, or, altogether, get rescued by said man from a sticky situation. I greatly enjoy a snarky MC. This one... is kinda locked into a Bella Swan-like damsel if you go for the boys; [i] especially [/i] with Damon, who's not beating the wattpad-Edward-Cullen-in-witness-protection allegations. I wish I were joking with the amount of twilightisms in this novel. I haven't gotten the chance to do all the routes yet, though. I will update this, when I've exhausted all available choices. Andromeda Six leaves precious little room for RP, if you care about such things. That said, it's a solid story in an underappreciated niche and I can't wait for it to be completed. I just wish the devs were more honest about what it was and what it offered. My biggest disappointment lies with the stiffness and the overall writing of the MC. Gender stereotypes and conformist gender roles, which this game inadvertently pushes, give me - a literal raging queer - the heebie-jeebies. Our pronouns alone aren't all that makes us.

if you enjoy character driven stories, you'd probably love this game. i love it myself, and am quite fond of a certain assassin. i would overall recommend it, but i'll leave more detailed thoughts below for those who want it. pros: - the character writing is delightful. the interactions feel human, and the romance routes are very well written. if you've been trying to romance a character for your entire playthrough, the culmination of your relationship feels well earned. - unlike some other visual novels, the main character isn't insufferable. - it has a great balance of tragedy and comedy. i've laughed out loud at the dialogue, gasped at twists and shed a tear at a certain cowboys backstory. cons: - there are some overused tropes. the twist revealed in the second episode (i won't spoil it, but it's relatively early into the gameplay anyways) is incredibly predictable, as well as something i find overused. another overused trope is the 'character was secretly alive this whole time!' - the choices don't have as much effect as i like in my visual novels. truly perfect ones will have branching choices with consequences that you can't foresee, which isn't what you get out of andromeda 6. the choices are fine, but they're straightforward and it's obvious which path you're supposed to take the majority of the time. there's also a lot of dialogue points where, if you choose one thing, you'll end up saying the other thing anyways. overall: i don't want this to come across as negative, because i do truly love the game. i just wanted to post something more analytical for fellow people who read the comments for reviews of games before buying. if you love plot heavy, character driven stories with romance, this is for you. if you want something with more mystery, branching choices and consequeneces (while still having the other things), i'd recommend scarlet hollow! (not affiliated with the game, it's just my favourite OAT)

Love it, just a pity how long it has taken to get close to being fully released

gang. I have 69 hours on this on itch.io. I have collected all the gallery images from chapters 1-8 (the free “demo” when it was out). my heart & soul are wholly attached to all these characters!!! love the art style and variety of characters, in terms of not only personality, but also origin and their relationships w/ each other. in replaying it now, I will admit some of the situations that the player/MC is put into can be kind of cliché or fanfic-y, but, honestly, I love a self-indulgent project, so it’s great for me. it might not be for everyone, though, as it does feel as if it is catering mostly to a feminine audience, a common occurrence in this genre. the sci-fi setting is well developed and fun to explore — also the background art is always so stunning??? I’ve enjoyed hyperfixating on this before (march ‘25) and I may very well do so again now and in the future when the full version is out! (p.s. … I have to admit I’m pretty neutral about damon. he’s my least fav of all the romance choices and I KNOW MANY DISAGREE but the angsty and dangerous emo thing is not working for me personally. that said, it will not deter me from trying to complete all the romance routes.)

Finding this relatively newly into my vn rabbithole 2-3 years ago, it has been the one of the only two that has stuck to me years after (with the other being Our Life (PLEASE play it)). I finally caved in and bought this game not only to play it, but support the developers for this amazing novel. The Characters are interesting and the story has many turns both unexpected and expected. Also as a sci-fi/cyberpunk enthusiast, it is somewhat rare to find a good visual novel of this genre. Although, it is not perfect with my personal criticisms being that many of the choices have minimal effect on the storyline, as well as the character art varying too much depending on the angle you see them. However, it is **VERY** important to note that this game is still in beta and far from being finished (in a good way). Despite these negatives, I would still heavily recommend this game to anyone looking for an interesting sci-fi space otome. TL:DR Amazing sci-fi visual novel with good storyline and characters. Could still use some polishing and slight tweaks to choices, however is still in beta. Strongly reccomend 9.5/10

I’m seriously obsessed with this otome game! It’s full of choices (that don’t feel forced at all for example, you can choose to be silent or nod), fun little captions when you save and amazing love interests… not to mention a good story too. It took me a long time deciding who’s route I wanted to purse on my playthrough, Damon or Vexx’s and omg it was just all my favourite tropes (the princess nickname, the touch her and you die etc). I was truly fangirling through this whole game. Took me about eight hours to get through episodes 1-9 for one route. Side note, all and I mean ALL the characters from Cursa are just so attractive… like even the main antagonist Zovack. Look forward to them, especially Zayne and Alisa. My type is indeed people from Cursa.

Damon <3

This games amazing. The Story really good and there's alot of choices and character all of them have rich personalities. I bought this game yesterday, started playing; then was like "gosh" why am I so tired, oh...I relise I spent 13 hours stright; playing the game. Like even was so glued I ate a light meal while playing and only took bathroom breaks. This game, had me really into the story; and character's; and wantting to know what happens next. I love this game's story. It's so emotional and so good. I love this game, I really recommand this game, if you love Novels or visual Novels and story Drama's. I still haven't finish the story but I'm excited to start off where I left off. <3 Update: 31 hours and 30minutes I finally finished the content that was there...What a cliffhanger! Gosh...I can't wait until they release more episodes for this game. It's sooo good! So much Drama and emotions!

I loved how you found out about your companions backstories and I can't wait for the last installments.

Very good story. It ended at Episode 9. I cannot wait until the full game releases. And yes. I'm a big softie and I liked this story.
