Asphyxia

Не дограв, не планую догравати й загалом графоманія автора мені остаточно допекла, тому ця історія про няшних дівчат, які буцімто написані з відомих поетів (ахах, це на мою думку окремий якийсь вид несмаку, ще й на обкладинці криво перемальована Офелія Мілле, ой-вей) навіть на докладний огляд не заслуговує. Я просто от зовсім все з цими іграми, де автор надихається чужими творами й всюди пхає перебільшення, від яких мені як філологу стає фізично зле. Якщо трохи докладніше, то логіка полишила сюжет ще до його створення, героїні будуть нить й обговорювати все, що спаде їм на думку, а сюжет перші три години нікуди не рухається, крім того, що постійно доводить, яка героїня тюхтійка знедолена. Можна було б зіграти на контрасті мальовки, від якої може розвинутись цукровий діабет, й похмурого сюжету про депресію, але всі хоч трохи змістовні частини в цій новелі аж ніяк між собою не пов'язані. Мальовка окремо, звуки та музика окремо, текст окремо, хоч якась наближеність до реального світу відсутня, все це вкрите товстим шаром по-підлітковому перебільшених страждань та пафосу.

i had to actually mention this game to my therapist.

Asphyxia is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story. The graphics are nice and the soundtrack is Chill and relaxing... I don't usually play this kind of game but the ebi-hime games are really great!!! I highly recommend it. 💗💗💗

一个非常非常有意思的百合视觉小说，高度风格化和优美的语言与故事。游戏流程较短，一条路线大概4小时（我的阅读速度），也就是我评测时只玩了一条线（而且是某种“BE”线，恼）。 这个游戏的背景是neta的历史上英国著名的浪漫主义诗人柯尔律治和华兹华斯的关系，以及他们和其他浪漫主义诗人如骚赛，拜伦，雪莱等等的关系，改成了一个女同视觉小说。游戏的作画我觉得女主角萨曼莎·柯尔律治稍微有一些土妹子的感觉（可能是故意的），但是莉莉安·华兹华斯，拜伦小姐，罗伯塔小姐等等都是绝美。在人物塑造上，每个人物都有鲜明，独特和可爱的性格，请一定要自己体验。 游戏的语言和故事可以说非常优美和“英国式”。作者十分细腻地刻画着抑郁，脆弱和逃避的萨曼莎对莉莉安的情感与她的思想轨迹，用优美的语言刻画着人物，但是在语言与故事中又有一种英国人的那种清晰，疏离与冷酷。比喻起来就像是寒冷秋夜里的柔和的月亮，这也是这个游戏最大的亮点。 另外它都已经10年了作者还在不断修改内容，非常用心呢。 最后，既然我写了这么长的评测就意味着我有汉化它的计划，虽然感觉会很有挑战，但是我真的很想尝试一下。如果在我干完其他项目之前有人打算汉化它，请一定要告诉我我要参加！还有如果开发者知道这个游戏存在汉化项目，可不可以告诉我（If there already exists some Chinese fan localization project of this game, please tell me, I will be most gladly to help.) 补充一句，拜伦小姐真的太可爱了。

one could say this VN felt... asphyxiating 😭

Romance, depressão e muito drama. Amizades sendo quebrada, coração partidos e muito, mas muito lacrolandy. Va passando no skip que sua busca pelo 100% será mais rápida. siga o guia de combinação das escolhas e seja feliz. o game tem cartinhas, terá que jogar mais tempo do que o farm delas.

[h1]A clever VN, if a little gloomy[/h1] (Alt+Enter for fullscreen) I have had this game sitting around in my backlog for years. Now that I've finally played it to completion, I feel enriched. The irony is that I went into the story straight from my library, having no clue of the premise as featured on the store page. After finishing two endings I started reading about the original Romantics the characters were based off in the Extras, and was suitably impressed. So as the store page blurb indicates, Asphyxia is a tale reshaped out of actual history - remoulded and reshaped into a class of high school (boarding school) girls on a geography holiday trip. Thankfully none of that is relevant, or featured. It might also be a bit on the short side, but I also find the novel's length is just about right for the price. It starts and finishes where it should, considering the story it tells. The main characters are based on Southey, Byron, De Quincey, Wordsworth (of course), and Coleridge as the main character. Not being familiar the with famous Romantics besides perhaps a little Wordsworth, I ended up liking the story quite a lot. In truth the only poetry I've read and own is Poe, but it doesn't matter as you don't need to have read any works to understand the relationships presented. You don't even need to know anything about the historic figures to enjoy the story - but if you want to, the information is there for the reading in the Extras. I recommend reading these after playing though, to truly appreciate the similarities. It isn't a perfect VN though. The art is very casual - lots of blurred, out-of-focus scenes, with some images on screen for a long while. As it is a short VN, I feel like the images should have changed a bit more frequently. This is just nitpicking though as the core of the story centres on the people and their relationships. Continuing my nitpicking, I felt the language was overly technical - especially when some of the girls started to argue about their beliefs with each other. There is text in the story saying it is Grade 6 (Year 12), yet the language used by the writer here would be more believable from middle-aged folks. I still remember my own Year 12 experience, and I have to say that's not how people talk at that age. In terms of structure, there are a few choices leading to a few different endings. You shouldn't need a guide to get all the achievements and CG art though. I got the best ending in my first attempt. The choices just made sense to me - other VNs sometimes have invisible and arbitrary choice systems in play, but Asphyxia nailed it. In this instance, I think it worked well without voiceovers too - full voiced bratty teens might have been disastrous. __________________________________ There is plenty of great advice between the lines - whether you look at the story presented in the visual novel, or the individual character bios in the Extras it is loosely based upon. Elements such as believing in yourself, loving yourself, taking action if you want things to change... by playing through all the different endings, you may learn something deeply profound that changes your outlook on life.

没有汉化补丁真是难受了，百合会的补丁打上去没反应
