I loved the characters and the fae lore twisted in the plot
A really well written story. There were a few times where I felt like the story was a bit rushed, and could have benefited from another chapter or two per route, but I was never dissatisfied with the conclusions. There wasn't a single main character that I disliked, and I appreciated Nora's sense of humor. Altogether, reading this was a really enjoyable experience.
Honestly I did this a bit backwards as i stumbled upon Gilded shadows first and completed a good chunk of that game before getting this one. would i recommend it? absolutely 100%, I have only completed Elliot and Marc so far, I am a bit disappointed about the uneven photos from these routes but having played one that has little lore versus one with more i can kinda understand.
The Storywriting is really amazing and routes and characters are very thoughtful created. I was first not sure to buy it because the art level seemed behind but i came to love the art style especially with regard that this is a small Studio. What they did there is really great and for a first game this really is something all who love VN should check out. A big praise to the mythological background. I'm a writer with focus on mythological backgrounds myself and this is a compelling and well researched take on Fae and Changeling mythology.
Amazing game!
Ich war etwas zwiegespalten bei dieser Story Novel: Auf der einen Seite ist es wirklich richtig, richtig gut und einfach nur HAMMERgenial, auf der anderen Seite hat es doch einige Punkte die mich etwas gestört haben. - Pro: Man hat die freie Wahl mit welchem Charakter man eine Romanze anfangen mag (oder auch nicht). Stichwort: Buch-Auswahl. 6 männliche Romanzen stehen zur Verfügung. Nette sehr unterschiedliche männliche Optionen. - Pro: Wunderschöne, fantastische Zeichnungen. Ein sehr ansprechender, etwas "anderer" Zeichenstil. Satte Farben. - Pro: "Tiefe", glaubwürdige, interessante und fesselnde Charaktere. Die Protagonistin, die Romanzen-Optionen, wie auch alle anderen waren sehr gut gemacht. Und auch einfach sympathisch (bzw. manchmal auch nicht). Die Beweggründe und das Verhalten dieser Charaktere wirkten für mich immer sehr echt. - Pro: Die Welt, die Geschichte an sich, die gesamte Atmosphäre packt einen sofort. Die "Magie" wird außerdem glaubhaft dargestellt und wirkt nicht aufgesetzt oder unecht. - Pro: Sprachlich hat mir dieser Story Novel sehr gefallen. Mein Englisch ist nicht top, aber ich hatte den Eindruck daß es wirklich sprachlich etwas anspruchsvoller war, ohne so schwer zu werden, daß ich nicht mehr mitkam. - Pro: Subtiler, feiner Humor. Situationskomik, die aber nie albern wirkte. Echt gut gemacht. Stichwort: Frettchen. :-)) - Contra: Wenn man ein bestimmtes Ende will, dann muss man einen Guide dazuholen. Hier bei Steam gibt es zum Glück einen guten. Das mag ich aber nicht wirklich: Wieso kann ich nicht anhand der Auswahlmöglichkeiten selber ein wenig bestimmen (erkennen) in welche Richtung das Ganze gehen wird. Manchmal wirken die Fragen alle total gleich (!) und sucht man eine Antwort aus und hat ein tolles Ende und wenn man die (irgendwie) gleiche andere Antwort aussucht hat man ein schlimmes Ende. Ich mag das gar nicht, wenn man eine Story Novel so komplett mit Guide spielen MUSS. Finde ich ein wenig sinnlos .... und stört mich persönlich sehr. - Contra: Ich habe nur 2 von den 6 möglichen Romanzen gemacht, da die anderen 4 einfach nicht mein Ding waren. Trotzdem haben mir ein paar "Auflösungen" einfach gefehlt ... z.B. was ist / wird mit der fiesen Kara? Die Eltern hätten zumindest hin und wieder etwas mehr auftauchen können. - Contra: Ich mochte die Protagonistin, ABER hin und wieder war sie mir einfach etwas zu sehr im Zicken-Modus. Meistens ein echt netten, umgängliches Mädchen mit einer frechen Art, wurde es doch hin und wieder zuviel und sie wurde zu einer richtigen Zicke. Da wunderte man sich doch wie die Typen da so ruhig und umgänglich bleiben konnten .... kam aber zum Glück nicht oft vor. Diese Story Novel ist so hervorragend und auf einem so hohen Niveau, da kann man über die Schwachstellen durchaus hinwegsehen und einfach eine tolle Zeit haben.
Unexpectedly fun! I enjoyed the different avenues and the different perspectives it gave.
Haha, like many here, I wasn't super sure about the art and more "high school" setting of this one (so sorry ><), so I got Gilded Shadows instead. And... played it obsessively. For HOURS. Then when I was finally done, even though the Steam sale was but a few weeks away, I immediately got this VN because this author is amazing and I figured even if this was an earlier project, their writing and level of detail and just AMAZING storytelling would probably make this a knockout as well. I wasn't disappointed!! >o< It IS different. This one felt a bit more to me like you had to solve the puzzle of the route to get the best ending (which you CAN do without a guide- the game will give you hints throughout the route), and as mentioned- it's highschool, so the scope is smaller and it's not quite so spicy- more on the fluff side. xD HOWEVER, it's soooooo worth it, oh my gosh. There is a little bit at the beginning that is the same regardless of route, but pretty quickly, you'll find you're dealing with interesting and different problems on each route. PLUS, of course, the characters you interact with are just sooooo lovable. <3 And hilarious! It's definitely a sweet, sappy, romantic romp with a little tongue-in-cheek teasing at some of the tropes it's playing off of, and it's a delight. And despite it being highschool, the characters are actually smart, so you don't have to worry about seeing the same dumb patterns over and over again. They have braincells and personalities! (Shame that's where the bar is, but trust me, it's good. xD) Also, after playing Gilded Shadows, I came over here and loved the art? So I don't know what's wrong with us. xD It's more of a fairytale book style. Maybe it's that it tries to make more realistic-looking people, which isn't the norm? But then once I acclimated to that, I was loving it. The music was also simple, but I found it very touching.~ ANYWAYS, TLDR, get this!!! <3 Let's share it around and give it the attention it deserves. >o<
One of my absolute favourite games, have been replaying it for years so thought i'd get it on steam too to support the dev
Steamberry Stuidos makes some of the best visual novels I've ever played. The writing is amazing and the research and knowledge is just remarkable. I Love them all!
