我是因参与官方简中翻译而免费获取的此游戏,由于搞翻译的原因我的游戏时长较长,正常的通关时间我想大概在7~13个小时不等。在翻译中,敝人承担了超过一半的翻译工作量,并且这也是我首次参与游戏翻译,我对这样一个付出心血的存在是有感情的,所以,我想我不可能不对此游戏有所偏爱吧。 尽管,公允地说,该游戏并非完美无瑕,比如: ①只有一个存档位而且还是自动存档的机制可能会带来一些麻烦,如要手动备份存档,请找到C:\Users\*用户名\AppData\Roaming\CTB_Test(以WIN11系统为例) ②莲子在疗养院那关有个谜题的难度不合理。游戏谜题难度整体较低,但那道题的难度陡然升高,可能会卡玩家很久,让难度曲线变得很怪(这里给个提示:请仔细阅读找到的每一条笔记并思考其中潜藏的线索)。 ③游戏地图可能会显得有些“空”,不够饱满。 但,我还是想说,我喜欢这个游戏。喜欢它的地图美术、喜欢它的bgm(尤其是对『緑のサナトリウム』这首曲子的惊艳改编)、喜欢它带给我的沉浸感、氛围感、喜欢它花样繁多的谜题……当然,或许最关键的一点是,我喜欢这个故事。以下为带有剧透的个人感想及故事解析: [spoiler] 故事中的梅莉,只因能看见常人所看不见的妖魔鬼怪,而与名为“科学世纪”的现代社会格格不入,这导致她自卑、内向和孤独,使她不被列入所谓“正常人”之列,甚至使她被关进了疯人院。她的身边,只有对超自然感兴趣的莲子不把她视为怪胎,这使她们间的感情极为深厚且自然。我想编剧一定在试图启发玩家去思考:所谓的正常与异常、健康与病态,这些概念属于纯粹的自然科学范畴吗?还是说它们至少在一定程度上是既有的社会规则所建构出来的呢? 对我来说,最使我感到压抑和恐惧的,是游戏中的最后一幕——疗养院地下室。这不仅仅是因为游戏美术与音乐对这一幕氛围的塑造,还因其警示我们:人类有可能以“科学”“理性”的名义去杀死爱、同情乃至一些其他珍贵的事物。这一幕提到的脑叶切除术在历史上真实发生过,而对电休克疗法的滥用,不仅存在于历史中,甚至可能至今仍未被消灭。 [/spoiler]

痛啊太痛了 莲子
在bilibili刷到实况视频于是决定购入,算是秘封启蒙作了,情绪渲染和音乐以及美术都非常优秀,美中不足的可能就是每个章节之间切换得有点生硬,以及关于幻想乡为什么会变成这样并没有明确说明。不过瑕不掩瑜,总体来说质量很棒。 通关之后的后劲好大啊....尤其是最后的选择,我犹豫了好久.....梅莉😭我真的不知道该怎么选啊😭
这部作品真的刻画出了我心中的秘封组,很感动。 虽然是全英文,但查查单词,就当积累词汇句式了。 (而且剧情能打这么久,这个价格真的很值,看出来制作组的诚心了)
My friend is a touhou fan who got me this game to try with him. I have very little experience in touhou and I think my perspective might be valuable as an outsider for outsiders who are considering playing the game. I found the exposition to drag as it is inflated with many lines of dialogue and monologue describing perfectly capable character portraits that I felt already described the character's conditions with no text necessary. I recommend skipping the majority of early dialogue. I did not find much compelling about the main characters. I'm sure there is a great wealth of character mythos that has endeared you to these characters but I - not having known touhou - was not compelled by them. I will play more but I feel the game's beginning drags and you have to be very forgiving of repetition and strange pacing to get into this game.
性价比非常高的作品 不论是音乐还是剧情节奏把控 目前比较可惜的是没有中文 背了四级尝试头铁生啃,但是解谜游戏( 比较胃疼的是DON'T LET结局几乎可以说是BE TE我也胃疼 但多数人应该还好 总之佳作 只是我被刀麻了(梅紫太噩了
人物刻画令人印象深刻,作为梅莉厨非常喜欢 解密稍微有些困难,不过不影响感人的故事 感谢作者的付出
Provided Labyrinth of Touhou 3 doesn't release in the next few months, I think I've found my Touhou fangame of the year right here. Cross the Boundaries is a horror-puzzle-adventure game and turned into an absolute sleeper hit to me. From its presentation, it seemed very quaint at first, only to greatly exceed my expectations in how emotionally invested I would be. I also really appreciated that its horror is very perilous rather than only being creepy and atmospheric. Those usually oh so adorable Gensokyo girls have teeth! And they'll use them if you let them... There have been a few creative redesigns of characters here and they are absolutely fantastic, with my favourite being probably [spoiler]mythologically accurate Wakasagihime[/spoiler] The puzzles were quite good - not too easy but never too illogical - and the game has the perfect, respectable length for what it is. One word of warning and a small criticism at the same time: You can't save during the visual novel sections. The one after the Prologue is the chunkiest with roughly half an hour of length. So if you're in a hurry, try to take a break before the conclusion of an adventure chapter and don't do the same oopsie as I did. In conclusion, within the niche of Touhou horror games, Cross the Boundaries is my new favourite. This niche may be only occupied by three or four games, but I doubt it'll be toppled from its throne any time soon.
玩完了,必須説,是完成度相當高的一部作品 音樂、作畫、謎題設計都可以説相當高品質 我猜這部游戲,把許多熱愛秘封的粉絲們, 所早已想象過的糾結、疼痛和兩難呈現了出來 最後的抉擇,秘封的粉絲們大家,或許多多少少都有料想過吧.... 兩個結局都不能説是完美,但人生和故事,本來就哪會是「完美」的呢....? 正因爲「不完美」,那些愛與別離才會如此的打動人心吧.... 還有就是,是從外界人的視角看幻想鄉角色,加上是有恐怖要素的 所以會和以幻想鄉的大家為主角的視角不太一樣,還請大家注意
