The visuals in the game are on fire—clean character designs and chill backgrounds that keep things feeling nice and easy. The audio is on-point too, with soundtracks that match the vibe. It’s low-key and cozy, managing to hold your attention without going all extra. Definitely recommend this game for chill evenings, such and addictive story ^_^
очень классная новелла. гораздо лучше чем другие стимовские новеллы, которые я читала в последнее время. хорошие персонажи, 3 абсолютно разных лл, неожиданная развязка сюжета. прошла на все достижения за 4,5 часа. и учитывая сколько разных вариантов концовок, можно было сделать достижений на штук 10 больше. как студент архитектурного могу сказать, что действия связанные с разработкой их проекта в целом отлично переданы. есть к чему придраться, но это прям совсем мелочи. из минусов могу выделить что Вранеш хоть и была куратором команды гг, но по итогу никаких кураторских дел не делала. ну и вся графика была прогнана через нейронку. я тоже работаю над визуальной новеллой и это для меня табу. я могу понять почему было принято такое решение, но гораздо приятнее смотреть на ручной труд, даже если скилл в рисовании может быть не на самом высоком уровне.
Haven’t finished the game yet, but I already like it. Great story, great music. I also enjoyed the art - although the developer mentioned using AI, the images were clearly heavily refined manually. I’m trying to build a relationship with Lucien, he’s my crush. Learning about the history of architecture is a cool feature.
Новела хорошая, но: проблема многих вн - концовки притянуты за уши. Отказался от предложения - полиция на пороге. Согласился - никого нет. Вселенная меняется, хотя ситуация нет. Любовные линии вообще за уши притянуты и будто с ничего. Советую только из-за тематики, рисовки и ненапряжности. Детектив тут максимально слабый, как и сюжет. Но в целом - неплохо
If only steam had a star-based review system. I enjoyed the game! And it's very impressive from a solo developer. But I'm a huge fan of the genre, and also got the game on sale. I only KINDA recommend the game for most folks. Highlighting some of the potential negatives - don't go into this expecting a mystery or detective game, more of a standard romance visual novel with VERY light mystery / detective elements. There are also many grammatical mistakes in the English translation, and also many plot inconsistencies and undeveloped plot threads. And 1 of the romance choices - he's truly a terrible person. Do his route last so you can appreciate what a terrible person he is. He's so terrible that you'll probably be cringing the whole time, but I love the hilarious way his route ended.
Адекватные диалоги (такое редко встретишь), красивые персонажи, чудесный краткий экскурс в искусство и архитектуру, сюжет, который держит в напряжении (хотя, переиграв столько детективов, уже начинаешь видеть между строк), ну и прекрасная альтернативная версия Питера. Люблю его. И видимо игру тоже, раз пишу отзыв, хотя никогда такого не делаю ;)
Female protagonist, art nerds rejoice, Otome with flair, I DEVOURED my first playthru. I must now go back with the massive amount of save slots they allow to see the other outcomes. 10/10 buy it. Casual and fun.
Очень увлекательная история, которая затягивает с первых минут. Дает ощутить девчачий трепет и романтику. Красивые арты, пусть и с нейросеткой. Интересные и познавательные факты, даже краткое обучение реставрации! Краткое знакомство с искусством. Сама история довольно короткая, но она того стоит
The graphics and drawings are breathtaking! The story was quite good, I love that there's an educational aspect, and the characters are complex and distinct enough to make the story engaging. I enjoyed it so much! There are some grammar issues, but it's only here and there. The choosing our own outfits was a unique touch that I wish other visual novels had.
Loved the multiple storylines, the diverse characters, the art. I especially appreciate little snippets of information about art and architecture, those were very entertaining. I loved it. The story itself is quite interesting, i think i played it 4 or 5 times just to see different endings. Highly recommend for anyone who loves visual novels
