Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.11/day in the week to Aug 4 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

一款将悬疑 、 战争 和科幻元素融合的视觉小说,游戏背景设定在三战后的近未来,人类靠 “手甲” 技术诞生了一批少年战士 Gauntlet Knights,本来这上面三种元素融合能创造出不错的组合,可没想到竟然贪多嚼不烂了:世界观比较糊涂。全篇只堆砌五大阵营的政治对立,三战起因、手甲来源、社会样貌模糊空白,设定前后略微矛盾,一会儿是反乌托邦高压社会,一会儿又能轻松跨阵营约会聊天,像空中楼阁一样虚浮,上述种种让我在游玩过程中比较难以带入 游戏问题也出在 “格局太大”。Phase1 全程 10 小时左右、无分支,光登场角色就有近 30 位,五大阵营名词绕口,大量势力博弈与设定讲解堆在前期,节奏慢到像催眠。人物塑造更是仓促,多数配角一笔带过,主角团也没立起来,重复的个人剧情看得人疲劳,少年们的成熟感和设定里的 “kids” 也对不上,代入感大打折扣 剧情叙事比较碎片化,思路跳跃、台词偏说教,前半段全程铺垫,直到结尾圣诞之战才迎来高潮。炮火与圣歌交织的场面悲壮又讽刺,把 “少年被当作战争工具” 的内核拉满,收尾冲击力很强,可惜前面冗长的铺垫已经耗走不少耐心。游戏玩完给人种 “戛然而止” 的空虚 画面和演出在在与如今的视觉小说比较中规中矩,标志性的 “龙绘” 画风粉丝能接受,路人大概率觉得普通。全程无配音、PPT 式演出搭配廉价转场,配上百元以上的售价,性价比偏低。唯一值得夸的是配乐,科幻感与悲伤氛围拉满,结尾主题曲更是点睛之笔 总的来说,《白鹳鸣泣之时 Phase1》是一部粉丝向、未完成、优缺点极端的作品。它有宏大的世界观、深刻的反战内核和惊艳的结尾,却被冗长铺垫、混乱叙事、仓促人设拖了后腿,这款游戏给我的感觉偏粉丝向,适合龙骑士死忠粉来尝试 [quote]关注「 [url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//] 鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]

just give us phase 2 already
The best opening chapter to a WTC game to date very harrowing and the most thoughtful highly highly recommend if you're okay with a cliffhanger that will take a very long wait to resolve ♥♥♥♥ you Ryushiki07 for ending phase one like that but also I love you you're a genius
The cognitive dissonance in this is by far one of the most impressive things Ryukishi wrote imo Also, as a Brazilian this is like a rollercoaster of going "omg that's so true" to "omg bro is cooking NOTHING" with how even with the future prediction of Brazil truly becoming an elite it is still too much suspension of disbelief to think no one would be stealing things in a crisis lmao
Even with only one phase released out of the four that were planned (and even with it not being likely any other phase comes out soon), it's such a great visual novel and would still highly recommend reading it. I can't stop thinking about those Walls of Peace.
Минусы: 1) Скучная мейн история. Долгая завязка, много мыслей автора о политике и мало диалогов между персонажами. Развитие очень медленное, а повторение одних и тех же тем автором надоедает уже на 5 часу чтения. 2) Незапоминающиеся мелодии, не сравнить с музыкой в чайках и цикадах. 3) Слишком много главных героев, большая часть нераскрыта полностью, но при этом они появляются сразу всей пачкой, а не по несколько персонажей как в тех же чайках. 4) Новелла вышла в 2019 году, спустя 7 лет на 2026 год нет новостей о продолжении, проект можно считать брошенным т.к. автор занимается другими делами. Плюсы: 1) Техническая составляющая - все выглядит красиво, плавно переключаются сцены, есть анимированные фоны и много разных ракурсов. Крутой движок новеллы. Приятно читать. 2) Дизайн персонажей. Все круто выглядят, но при этом угадывается стиль рюкиши. 3) Если мейн стори была скучной и тягомотной, то после прохождения открывается архив с мини историями про главных героев, вот они крутые, много диалогов и раскрываются некоторые доп черты персонажей. Вот эти сцены напоминают старые работы рюка, в особенности чаек. Я бы хотел чтобы вся новелла была такой. Но по итогу минусов больше, чем плюсов, НЕ СОВЕТУЮ. Основная проблема - мне просто не нравится жанр альтернативной история от рюкиши и его разглагольствование про политику. Если еще вспомнить что продолжения может и не быть вовсе, то лучше спиратьте ХЫЫ. А так получается новелла в раннем доступе ЛУЛ.

Под пиво пойдет. Осты не очень, графика на любителя, история на высоте. Без лагов и вылетов.
