Better than anticipated. The storylines mesh well together and the characters are interesting. I love that you can play different storylines from Chapter 6, perfect way to know when you can start ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up haha! I also love that all of the characters have their own flaws (some undoubtedly worse and more...taboo than others). Having different kind of endings for each character was also a good addition. My only suggestion is to include a fast forward option next time! Would be very useful when replaying different routes of the story. I would love to see a sequel to this, as there are so many questions left unanswered!!! Edit: Forgot to mention I love the voice acting, every character was voiced so well! I think it would have been interesting for Maddy's timeline to have the "good" choices still lead to a bad ending, as I never saw her as the type to see reason much. Could have made for an interesting twist, especially if the "bad" choices led to a happy ending.

The game has a great atmosphere which reminds me of old mystery shows like Twin Peaks. The backgrounds have a VHS filter and the music has this eerie retro vibe which just creates a great atmosphere. The characters and premise of the game are very interesting and I wanted to know what was going on (although I still don´t really know after finishing 2 routes). I was mostly intrigued by Julian and August who are of course very red flags. I thought the MC Erika, who was very headstrong, was written ok (I only wished she had a different hair color). I first played Julian´s romance, and well... let´s say, there are things about him that are very off-putting even if you like darker romance. Imo the romance comes a bit short and I wondered in both Julian´s and August´s route why Erika would even go for them.

跟看了部美剧一样。 新游戏+一旦选择回去与否就再也不能读档重来，慎重。 前4条线的疑惑能在新游戏+得到肯定的答案，只有控制遣返会和火车的幕后没明说。夏洛特和奥古斯特都以遣返会的名义骗过人，只有火车送炸药进来骗14个激进警察去炸塔与其他人无关，证明遣返会确实存在。朱利安感觉是夏洛特他爸为她在外面找回的个漂亮玩物，利亚姆纯血种是他家最正常的人，开朗阳光，可惜立绘是脏辫黑人，差点就弃了。麦迪线可以跳过。奥古斯特各个意义上都是最有魅力的人。整体来说剧情都符合人设的，没有太大bug。解释不通的推给外星科技也行，跟那36个塔一样。

It means whatever the hell you want

Crimson Spires is a breath of fresh air that I really needed! I feel like it's been a loooong time since I found a visual novel that made me feel like this game does. The aesthetics are eye-catching and very cohesive throughout the story, soundtrack sets the tone perfectly, the actors are wonderful, and the story was honestly not what I expected at all in the best way. I appreciate how much focus there is on the mystery, not just on Erika and her love interests. Every little detail I get leaves me wondering more about the worldbuilding and I never felt dragged through the story. I'm so disappointed that this game doesn't have more of a fandom, this is the type of narrative that makes me want to spend hours watching video essays and story analyses' on youtube!

[b]однозначно – да![/b] [list] [*]интригующий сюжет, оставивший после себя приятное послевкусие и пространство для размышления [*]харизматичные и непохожие друг на друга персонажи, к которым проникаешься симпатией по мере прохождения каждого отдельного рута [*]необычный визуал, хорошо сочетающий в себе 2д и 3д элементы [/list] на моей памяти это вообще единственная новелла, которая была пройдена до конца не столько из-за любовных интересов, сколько из-за сюжета, который действительно цепляет с первых строк и держит в напряжении до самого конца.

Great character building and plot. I definitely got wrapped up in the mystery and it will eat at my brain for awhile, even though I've finished all the routes. Also, I was really surprised when [spoiler]I fell for the serial killer - and I would do it again![/spoiler]. I would definitely recommend this game.

Everything I could've asked for and more. Play the demo if you need convincing but just know that the full game highly exceeds it.

It's got a unique storyline. However, if you're looking to get to the bottom of the "Spires" it never happens. You will never understand exactly why. There are resolutions but not about the world, why it's all really happening now, and the mysterious background of certain groups.

I don't think i'll ever find a visual novel with as interesting a story as this one. I would do anything for a sequel. Even anything adjacent to this story i would love.
