Companion

A kinetic novel, existential but a bit too melodramatic. For me the background story was strained and not believable at all. On the other hand the plot was OK. Both the music and flow of narration complemented each other nicely. Still the title is well done and I am looking forward for checking up more titles from this developer.

A beautiful and special story, which I can only recoment! Well made!

不推荐 作品太老了 视觉小说× 半音声小说√ 字号很小+繁中，看不清字 价格还行

整体评价：72 / 100 等第：中评 简评：以现在的眼光，本作品在GAL里属于差强人意，系统肉眼可见的简陋，CG就那几张，文字部分不是纯对话还带旁白的文字，加上CV只阅读对话部分，非常不符合正常的GAL阅读试听习惯，设定也不考究。CV是台配，看个人习惯吧，听习惯的日配和大陆中配，台配不习惯了。 考虑到是老作品，且整体故事篇幅节奏正常，习惯了整体风格后可以完成内容通读，故打中评。

While the english translation is acceptable, everything else is a massive disappointment. Trash characters in a trash story.

推薦指數 2/5 全作共七章、約三小時可看完，採線性敘事沒有分支。 整體有 10 張人物CG圖、幾張手繪風景圖與約 (10+2) 首bgm。女主角與部分配角提供中文配音。 故事設定在世界末日前的台北，主角邂逅一位未成年出來賣的少女，然後上了她。 接下來的章節描寫兩人的互動與心境轉折。 劇情在現實層面幾乎沒有足夠的反思與處理，轉折大且收尾也不夠乾淨，使得作品難以建立合理動機與說服力。 無論站在男主或女主的視角，許多情緒段落荒謬不現實。 有末日題材與都會場景的野心，也有還算稱職的美術與配樂，但敘事與角色塑造薄弱，情感鋪陳難以共鳴。 看完沒有特別的餘韻或省思，更多的是不合理帶來的出戲，整體來說不太推薦。

I just really regret not checking the reviews. Like, I liked the summary and it had good ratings so I bought it when it was really cheap. So I did not realize that the love interest was a ♥♥♥♥♥/prostitute/etc. That is pretty much it, yeah. I have no interest in a story where some love interest is supposed to make the mc fall so much in love in a week that he thinks about giving up surviving, and then that chick is just straight up a ♥♥♥♥♥. Feel free to bash me for that, but that is my opinion on the topic. I don't like stories where the love interest (be they male or female) are prostitutes.

Companion is a short story about the end of the world. I liked that the premise is somewhat plausible, given that we have already done some things that were laid out in the Companion Star Project, along with other details like loss of technology via war and plague essentially rendering us helpless when the Companion Star begins to come crashing back down on us. The journey of the main character was interesting to watch unfold, as he starts as a rather indifferent and unfeeling person seeing as he's one of the few who knows of the coming end of humanity and is forbidden to speak of it; until he meets Airi and slowly changes, day by day, along with the help of his old friends and their family. It also touched on a lot more adult themes than I was expecting, given the VN's description, which was a welcome surprise given it handled it very nicely. The ending left enough vagueness to give you a lot to think about, but I do wish there was a bit more to it as the final chapter was quite short. All in all, I quite enjoyed it. Art was very pretty, and the Mandarin voice acting was great as well.

末日背景下的大叔和少女的故事，男主30岁有钱人，女主18岁，两人在世界毁灭前相遇。男主本可进避难所，却因女主选择共度最后两个月。设定看似狗血，但情感描写细腻，配角（如NPC夫妻）反而亮眼。可惜结局太仓促，末日乱象和感情升华没展开，戛然而止像被腰斩。流程两个多小时，文本还夹杂小学生级文笔和标点错误，读着头疼。cg精致但数量少（10张左右），场景渲染到位，可惜重复利用多，偶尔还有点崩坏。bgm是最大亮点，10首配乐悲壮感拉满，末日氛围很不错。台配新鲜但水平有待提高，而且也有点喜感，女主全程嘤嘤嘤装可爱，不过湾湾腔刻意到有点尴尬，男配就稍微自然点。还有繁体字小到很难看清，老游戏不适配新屏幕，游戏也禁止f12截图，好看cg不给存，纯纯气人。总之打1折能忍缺点可入，这种短篇末日题材还是比较少的。

故事并不怎么样，没有对话分支选项。从头到尾自动播放像读了一篇电子小说。图片也很少。全收集CG大概也就几张。全屏F12不能截图。也许这就是几块钱的视觉小说质量。立绘跟国产同人似的。全是文字内容。很难消化。
