Autumn Spirit

Autumn Spirit é uma visual novel curta e aconchegante, que aposta em uma narrativa tranquila e reflexiva. A história tem um ritmo calmo, permitindo que o jogador aproveite os diálogos e a atmosfera sem pressa, criando uma experiência relaxante e envolvente. A ambientação é um dos pontos mais fortes, com uma estética suave e uma trilha sonora que combina perfeitamente com o clima de outono proposto pelo jogo. Os personagens são simples, mas carismáticos, e ajudam a transmitir uma sensação de conforto e nostalgia.

This is an extremely well written hidden gem! I found the story moving and the characters extremely likable. I highly recommend a playthrough of this melancholic yet hopeful game.

C'est fou de se dire que les meilleurs VN auxquels j'ai joué sont courts et gratuits. Prenez mon argent !! Non mais, merci pour la traduction en français qui est très bien faite ! La narration est vraiment bien faite, les personnages aussi, c'est autant sérieux, sentimental et blagueur, vraiment tout est bien jaugé. Le jeu est court, mais il n'en reste pas moins intéressant, il en vaut le détour. Que ce soit pour l'histoire, les personnages, la musique, les couleurs, le style graphique ou encore la morale qui s'y trouve ou le point de vue des devs sur le monde ! C'est un bon jeu, je le recommande. Par contre, si vous êtes déprimé, je ne le conseille pas forcément !

至少故事完整，无聊时简单看看打发时间，不过整体水平就像普通杂志小说了，甚至还没故事会有起伏。画风过于抽象，也不算太感人——首先我就不喜欢建立在人鬼情未了（还是半路认识的人鬼情未了）的男女情上的感人要素。可以是一段邂逅，但那么难舍难分的是在…？而且完全不清楚这两人到底怎么喜欢上对方的。作者对喜欢的理解似乎有点浅薄了。下雨天女主就在那儿淋湿着看男鬼哭诉生前没来得及跟家人朋友表达爱这种矫情话，我的天啊

Made me cry like a baby, 10/10 :)

[h3] PLOT [/h3] Somewhat predictable/linear. The ending wasn't very climactic. It's decent and basic. The climax was a completely avoidable conflict if only the protagonist were less self-centered. The pace is not rushed and the protagonist's background is fleshed out. [h3] OPTIONS [/h3] The options are there only to make dialogue exciting. Otherwise, they are inconsequential, except for the final option that determines which ending you get. By 'determine', I mean you literally get to pick. [h3] CHARACTERS [/h3] The protagonist, whom we play as, is not very likeable. She is opinionated and often self-centered with an aura of moral superiority, making it difficult to want to be represented by her in the game. The game is in the POV of the protagonist, so there are a lot of monologues which are hard to relate to because the character is written with highly specific traits - probably the author's own personality, traits, and desires. The love interest was alright. His personality was well-explored. The [spoiler] pet, Ulysses, [/spoiler] could've been more meaningful to the plot. It was emotionally important according to the narration, but it only made occasional appearances and was nothing more than an easy unexplained plot device. [h3] DIALOGUE/NARRATION [/h3] A good portion of the dialogue/monologue was not necessary to the plot. There is a lot to read. Perhaps it was intended to show the characters' personalities, but they were often heavy and boring. You may like the dialogue if you have a similar personality to the protagonist. Like I said, it's highly specific and difficult to relate to. The narration managed to be profound at some crucial parts, but could not redeem the rest of the game. [h3] VISUALS/MUSIC [/h3] Still images of around 3 different poses and 3 different facial expressions. No animations. Only 3 special scenes, almost all of which are in the product description/trailer. A single slow relaxing music that is on loop throughout the entire play. Around 2 other soundtracks for when the mood shifts. [h3] OVERALL [/h3] It's basically a Wattpad romance fiction.
