首先,这个好评很大原因是因为前作。先玩了前作品玉庵,感觉本作作品衔接不错,游戏方式和操作都很顺手,配乐和动画效果也还可以,篇幅不长。至于被诟病的人物设定抄袭,还没玩过桥姬,想找人物对比的实锤也没找到有人发,所以暂且持保留态度。不过确实卖腐太明显,和前作相比,完全就是为卖而卖,不过也因此确实招来了一群蔷薇向玩家,然后被指控抄袭,也是自食其果。
nice and chill after work/ weekend horror story
Beautiful game with a touching story, 10/10.

感觉剧情很寡淡吧但是他画得太好了,但是没打折还是别买了吧感觉有点纯花钱看美工并感,打好评纯粹因为他画得实在是太好看了加上希望剧本别被喷得我后面没游戏玩了唉blg产量这一块我真的不要玩水都,希望剧本能真的有活了再好好写因为目前这俩其实都挺寡淡的(剧情)至于人设抄袭我是真没感觉出来()可能就是纯粹撞了吧本泽凛孝子从桥还只有英文版的时候就玩过了,后面出了汉化也又品了好几遍(摸了一百多小时虽然有挺长时间在啃生肉)初见这寡淡的游戏完全没既视感,还是看测评明示才看懂原来是川子哥)有没有蹭就自由心证吧我是真没感觉,只觉得这游戏剧情好无聊
在陳熙的HE線感受到了一絲慰藉,自白也很寫實。 活著的人只能活著。 人都有自己的私心,看著以那種方式離開的人們永遠生活在我們心中。 因為不可能問心無愧,不可能見到逝者。才能以此感到慰藉。 學著有一天將我的幸福傳達給逝者,而不再僅有悲傷。 也喜歡在遊戲中慢慢解鎖主線外的CG,非常可愛又驚喜的設定。
超级好玩画风优美竹马组赛高
This is a BL Horror game that I stumbled upon while looking for a visual novel to play. I have to admit that I bought it without expecting much because of the game's relatively low price and the mixed reviews. But it turned out that the story was much more enjoyable than I expected! Both the illustrations and the characters themselves are beautifully drawn. I love the design of all the main characters. Even though it's a pity that the background uses real images, I understand because it fits quite well with the overall theme of the game. There are points I like where the story takes unexpected turns and characters have unpredictable experiences. In terms of the overall translation, it's quite good (there might be a few bits of Chinese slipping through). In summary, I like this game. It turned out really well. I hope you will translate PinYuAn Tales game into an English version too. PS. I don't know if you have plans for DLC or the next game, but I'm cheering for you!
暂时还没有全结局,只打了竹马线。先说优点:1.画风真的太完美了,当时就是被画风吸引过来的。2.故事流程虽然不是很长但是很完整,可以很流畅的玩下来。然后是缺点:感情线有点突兀了,不过好处就是如果想专心看本篇故事的话还不错,但是如果想看感情方面的真的有点短和突兀。但是总的来说还是值得入手的。
this game is def worth buying. the horror elements were perfect, i loved the story, cgs, and writing but especially the relationship between mc and xia sixian i adore them omg... there are some minor translation issues in the english version but it is still completely readable and didn't affect the story at all!
发小组很好吃,诡秘你最喜欢的男鬼1。 单单作为恐游来说还是感觉差点意思,前期看确实是被突脸吓一跳,后面看就有些想笑了 中规中矩吧,看插画集确实是不赖
