For a free Otome this has easily got to be one of my favourites, all characters (yes even the villains) have their own qualities to love. Each Love Interest has depth and there is no surface level personality to them. Lucette, our heroine/MC, is such a breath of fresh air with a complex personality and questionable likability until you get further into the story, which is incredibly well written. I cannot recommend this enough! <3
:D
Senza ombra di dubbio una delle migliori (e più lunghe) visual novel che io abbia mai giocato insieme a Everlasting Summer, Our Life Beginnings & Always e One Thousand Lies! Spettacolare sotto tutti i punti di vista! Trama altamente focalizzata sulle fiabe, (o meglio, sulle loro maledizioni. Incipit che io personalmente ho adorato per l'originalità!) ma con dei risvolti molto più profondi e cupi. Dialoghi fatti molto bene sia per quanto riguarda i momenti seri e quelli ironici. (anche se vengono usati troppe volte i tre punti esclamativi ogni volta che un personaggio è scioccato o sorpreso per un qualunque motivo) I personaggi principali (e anche alcuni secondari) sono molto ben caratterizzati. I backgrounds, i characters design e le CG sono di alto livello. Le musiche sono tanta roba! (specialmente la opening theme song e quella finale) Mi sono affezionato molto a parecchi personaggi. (più di tutti la protagonista per quante ne ha dovute passare, poverina) è incredibile che in 50 ore non mi sia annoiato neanche una singola volta! Scusate per il mio essere scurrile ma è proprio il caso di dirlo, questa visual novel GRATUITA caga in testa FORTISSIMO ad un sacco di altre visual novel A PAGAMENTO! Complimenti vivissimi a tutti gli sviluppatori! Se proprio dovessi sforzarmi di trovare qualcosa di negativo, allora direi che i bad endings di tutte e 5 le route sono troppo affrettati. Però ovviamente capisco perché l'abbiano fatto. Volevano dare molto più risalto ai good endings. La consiglio assolutamente!

Struggled to 100% this one. Collecting every good & bad ending across all routes was a chore. Sitting through the same overarching story twice per route was a massive hassle. Thank goodness for the skip & fast-forward buttons! On the bright side, it's a free game, the fairy tale lore & the cursed spins were great, the love interests had really distinctive (if highly stereotypical) personas. You get a checklist of archetypes: the haughty tsundere Pauper-turned-Prince (Rod), the narcissist beauty (Karma), the annoying, amnesiac flirt (Rumple), the kind & protective mellow knight (Fritz), the manipulative obsessive villain (Varg) and the cursed witch sweetheart shota with a Peter Pan Syndrome (Waltz). Great concept and nice lore, but a tedious completionist grind.
This is clearly a staple for a reason! I've been meaning to play this for a long time. Played Karma's route first, then discovered the recommended order and played the rest of the routes in that order. I like how much difference there is in each route, how it never felt like a drag to get through any of them, and how there was no ending that felt too perfect; in each route, you have to sacrifice something, be it knowledge or a life. The chemistry between Lucette and the LIs felt real, especially because the similarities Lucette shared with each of the LIs was so easily identifiable and made the developments of their relationships feel completely plausible. (Just how much did some of you guys replay this game!? Those times are so much longer than mine!)
Cinderella Phenomenon — визуальная новелла в жанре отомэ (ориентирована на женскую аудиторию). Сюжет вращается вокруг девушки, попавшей в фэнтезийный мир, напоминающий сказку о Золушке. Игрок принимает решения, влияющие на развитие отношений с несколькими мужскими персонажами, и выбирает путь к одной из концовок. Игра сочетает романтику, драму и элементы фэнтези. Плюсы: несколько романтических маршрутов с уникальными персонажами — разнообразие выборов; атмосферный художественный стиль и детализированные спрайты персонажей; глубокий сюжет с элементами драмы и фэнтези; несколько концовок — мотивация к перепрохождению; оригинальный саундтрек, усиливающий эмоциональное восприятие сцен; возможность влиять на судьбу героини через выборы в диалогах; достижения Steam; доступная цена. Минусы: только на английском языке (нет русской локализации); устаревшая графика по современным меркам; значительная часть контента может быть заблокирована до повторных прохождений; некоторые сюжетные линии развиваются медленнее ожидаемого; линейность отдельных веток — иллюзия выбора в некоторых эпизодах; мало интерактивных элементов (основной геймплей — чтение текста); возможны технические недочёты в старых версиях (вылеты, проблемы с сохранением). Итог: Cinderella Phenomenon подойдёт поклонникам отомэ‑игр и визуальных новелл, кто ценит романтические истории в фэнтезийном сеттинге. Игра очаровывает персонажами и атмосферой сказки, даёт возможность прожить разные сценарии развития отношений. Однако устаревшая графика, отсутствие локализации и преимущественно текстовый геймплей могут не устроить тех, кто ищет динамичного действия или разнообразия механик. Хороший выбор для любителей романтики и неспешного погружения в историю.
A very engaging visual novel with an interesting setting. You can choose to follow the route of one of five characters, each with both a good and a bad ending — so there are ten possible endings in total. Both the good and bad endings are genuinely interesting, and they depend on the choices you make throughout the story. That said, one downside (at least in my experience) is that reaching the good endings without using fan-made guides feels almost impossible. Still, for me the most important part is the story — and it absolutely delivers. For a free game, such a well-written narrative is quite rare. I’d definitely recommend it to fans of visual novels and romance.
good game
Kinda embarassing to admit it, but this is pretty good hehe XD
Beautiful art, compelling story. Getting this for free is like finding a diamond on the street.
