Criminally Yours

I've been playing a lot of different visual novels and there hasn't been a lot that have sparked my interest, but this one was really good. The playtime is a bit short for my liking BUT I haven't got to all the endings yet so I won't say much about that. This game was quite nice and it left me wanting to play more. I actually wished to get off work earlier so I could go home and finish the story as it really did grab my attention. I am OBSESSED with superhero fiction and this really hit all the boxes for me. The art style is nice, loved the comic style theme, the writing was catchy, and the story was surprisingly great! I knew who Nik was, since the games doesn't really hide that fact but the way the story went on about it, like adding pieces of memories about Nik and the way it led up to the current events really drew me in. I think what I liked most was the depth of the MC's emotions and how they played to the actions of the story. It felt like I was actually her in some parts. The options being ones that I would actually pick in a real world scenario and the way she felt reflected a lot on how I'd likely feel. AND I AM SO GLAD YOU MADE THE MC A STRONG WOMAN. I am so tired of romance stories, especially ones with action scenes, making the MC look weak. Like we can be strong too. Another thing, I liked the path I chose. It was well written and felt like the most realistic ending. I can't tell you how many times I've played a visual novel game and felt so bored with how the story was progressing. How I've tried playing some and gotten completely turned off because the characters felt so damn bipolar and TOO unpredictable. This games choices actually felt like they mattered and every answer FELT like a big one. It wasn't just a bunch of filler questions to make you feel like you had a choice. ----Spoilers for one of the paths and endings---- My first ending felt like an ending that would actually happen to me, which left me a little sad because it all felt a little too real LMAO. Finding out Nik's villain identity would completely turn me away romantically and I was glad that was an option. The idea of still missing that new relationship, despite it being based on lies, felt very human and I am happy to see that was apart of the whole story. Wesley being the second romantic lead, I think the contrast was great. He still awed by the MC and their abilities but wasn't so damn pushy and fast like Nik was. I liked him as the second option and so I did end up with him. I think my ending was realistic to the situation. The whole Nik getting pushed away and retaliating at the end, her killing him and the trauma of that ruining her relationship with the Wesley. It actually felt like something that would happen to me with my sorry luck. My only problem, I think that the ended happened a little too fast. That ending fight where the MC fought Chronos, killing him. It didn't feel as action packed as I wanted it to be and it felt a little weird that he just took it and fell to his death. I expected a little bit of playing around and then a dramatic death. If I was crazy and wanted to scar someone for life because they didn't pick me, I would still stretch it out a little bit. Take in my last moments with them and then let em kill me. Unless that scene was supposed to be the MC finding their GOKU level strength and just overpowering their villain like it was nothing. ---- --------- In all I would LOVE for y'all to make another game like this one. It was a great experience and I WILL be getting all the endings somehow. This was a 10/10 graphic novel and I think it was well worth the price.
