[h1]How to Say Goodbye to a Loved One T_T[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]Dissolution of the Silent Union[/i] is a yuri, slightly psychological horror, visual novel developed and published by Umigame Studios. You're Vera, a teenager who has recently graduated from Velyograd High School. As Vera is sitting in the high school's cafeteria (the school is either abandoned or there are no classes), she reminisces about the time she spent with her girlfriend, Lena, visiting various places in and around the school. Vera's attachment to Lena is very strong, so she has difficulty letting her go... As for the gameplay, there are choices in where Vera can visit, such as the school's balcony or chemistry lab. Also, she can choose to engage in activities via clicking on items. There are a total of 6 heartbreak (yes, bad) endings along with the true ending. Animated scenes and photographic backgrounds are present as well as a varied, emotional soundtrack and full-on English voice acting. In addition, Steam achievements are available, and they count towards a user's global total. [h2]Review[/h2] Continuing to review games for the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46245070/sale/FallinLoveFestival2026]Fall in Love Festival[/url], the developer reached out to me and asked if I'd like to cover [i]Dissolution of the Silent Union[/i]. I was happy to, and gosh, after finishing the story, I just feel way emotional, but I'm getting ahead of myself. XD [h3]Story and Gameplay[/h3] The story's setting drew me in right away. It starts off with a sadder, melancholic tone, with Vera reminiscing about her final days in school before graduation and especially, spending time with Lena. As we're learning about events from Vera's perspective, we get glimpses into her character, and she comes off as being sad and lonely, with the exception of being around Lena. It is an understandable quirk since some people can only truly open up around one or two people. (I sort of get the feeling that Vera is an introvert.) The relationship between Vera and Lena is more on the emotional side, and it can be interpreted anywhere from being very close friends to girlfriends. (Since this is part of the [i]Fall in Love Festival[/i], I'm going to assume that they're girlfriends. ^^) It's quite the emotional journey, from Vera having difficulty letting go of Lena to quietly resolving that emotional turmoil. As for the writing, it's very well done. The pacing feels perfect, and I didn't notice any typos with the English version. Now, I should note that the storytelling can feel cryptic. For example, it doesn't throw it in the reader's face as to whether Vera and Lena are romantically involved or what happened to Lena that makes Vera reminisce about her. We'd have to infer quite a bit, but we can piece the clues together and figure it out. (There's also a post or two on the discussion boards if anyone wants more clarification.) I like that the story is narrated more like this since it forces the reader to think. As for endings, it may be difficult to get all of them unless you use a guide, and there's a wonderful Steam user guide. I was able to unlock all Steam achievements without any problems although the final one might simply take a bit of time to get it. [h3]Art and Music[/h3] With the art, I was floored away. Usually, I'd feel a bit letdown if there are no CGs, and this didn't have any. However, I like how well drawn and colored the sprites are, and there are even animations in pivotal events. The backgrounds generally have a photographic look, which immerses you in Vera's high school life. I should give a heads up that there are parts in the story that have flashing images, which some people are sensitive to, so it's important to keep that in mind if you have photosensitive epilepsy. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3796575224 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3796575340 In regards to the music, the tracks have this emotional vibe, which is perfect for the story that the game conveys. There are bits of horror, too, although it's more psychological than jumpscares. What I was amazed by is the English voice acting I heard. Initially, I thought I'd have to read the text like in a lot of VNs, but I was pleasantly surprised when I heard the VA for Vera, and it gives off that sad, melancholic vibe. Major shoutout to the voice actress. [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Would I recommend [i]Dissolution of the Silent Union[/i]? If you enjoy deeply thought provoking, emotional stories, don't mind a bit of horror, and/or like getting those Steam achievements, then it's definitely worth a look. Granted, it's on the short side, as it took me less than 2 hours to 100% complete the game and get all the achievements. At the asking price, it's a good deal, especially with how much work and passion was poured into the game, but you can choose to wait for a sale. Finally, I'd like to give a major thank you to Umigame Studios for the review key. Thank you for reaching out to me, and I highly enjoyed this visual novel. It left an emotional impression, which will stay with me for quite a while. ^^ [quote]For more detailed, fully complete, high quality reviews like this, please follow [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44702020/]The Introverted Gamer[/url], prioritizing heart and soul always. ^^[/quote]

很神奇的游戏，前大半段看的一头雾水，感觉自己成了只会点击鼠标的草履虫，脑子里的想法只剩氛围好舒服主角说话有种淡淡的死感很安心，到了最后的结局像是突然连接上了频道，一下就理解了之前所有的剧情了[spoiler] 啊什么原来是女同吗 [/spoiler] 电波这东西很神奇吧 但部分cg用了ai且未标注很败好感！！

我喜欢将现实图片、视频、手绘相结合的叙事形式。一开始很惊讶，这个价格居然还有念白。 但是！！！随着游玩深入，越听越觉得cv的口音过于明显（叠甲：非歧视我讲英语也有口音），仿佛有一个完全*现实**立体**不那么美丽*的白人女性在我耳边，对我缓缓道来她的少女心事…这真的很怪异，有人能懂吗。 我一直都认为，LGBTQ游戏和百合游戏是两种完全不同的东西，绝不能仅仅因为角色关系类似就划上等号。正如许多讨论所言：Lesbian是一种性取向，而百合则是一种描写女性之间特殊情感关系的类型传统。本作最大的割裂感就在这里。它采用了日本二次元百合作品的视觉风格，却没有匹配相应的声音表现和角色塑造方式。当然，我不知道这种体系混搭是否是制作组有意为之。如果他们确实想打破既有的审美范式（如同游戏所展示的那样），而预算又比较有限，那么我反而觉得直接使用土耳其语作为原声会是个不错的选择。至少那样的地域性与真实感是自洽的，甚至可以赋予作品一种更加真诚、独特的文化气质。 除此之外，美术质量的差距也十分明显。有非常美丽的画面，但部分“cg&动画”简直就像是通过直接描改拍摄的内容（这扭曲的线条和透视简直）绘制而成并且没有加以修改，但凡有一点美术功底的人都不会画得这么差吧。制作组宣称为作品灌注了大量心血，希望大家能够喜欢——但遗憾的是我并没有从成品中感受到足够的完成度。 最后，我讨厌一切不为游戏主题服务的设计，如《稗子》里硬凑的电波谜题，如本作里的唐突jumpscare.当它们无法强化作品想表达的内容时，带来的就只有割裂和冒犯。

[h3] 亲爱的，不要跨过那座桥 [/h3] “既然我们已经有船了，为什么还要造桥呢？” 船是私人的、流动的，需要两个人主动使用。它属于河边的秘密基地，也属于主角和莉娜共同构成的小世界 桥是公开的、固定的，任何人都能从上面经过。它把原本隔开的两岸永久连接起来 桥的建造意味着私人世界即将被外部世界侵入。它也可能象征成长、社会化、关系改变，甚至某种不得不迈入的未来 “我讨厌那座桥” “那我们永远都不要跨过它” 可桥早已经建好了。她们无法阻止世界变化，只能通过一个私人誓言，假装变化与她们无关。我们永远不要离开现在，也永远不要成为与现在不同的人。但这种约定从一开始就注定无法永久维持。桥既然已经存在，跨越只是时间问题。Dissolution，则可能始于那座桥被建造的时刻 失去莉娜以后，现实对维拉而言只剩冰冷与麻木，维拉不愿意跨桥，也没有返回，而是选择沉入仍然保存着未被带走的共同记忆，允许自己重新被关于莉娜的一切包围。因为唯有沉浸在这些记忆里，才能重新感到一丝温暖

他者是孤独的爱恋与想象。 所以欢迎来到Velyograd共和国，你是这个共和国仅存的最后一人，也是唯一一人。废弃的记忆与永恒爱恋，共同构成了全部的宇宙。寂静的王国。（吐槽：这也是当然的了，就是你一个人脑内的世界嘛） 本以为是ZATO的爱想，结果却是刚开场的不知所云，到以为玩到了《潮汐少女》样的无病呻吟。但坚持看下去，竟然对上电波看懂了。（我的文艺细胞还是太强大了） 但这部作品怎么说呢？只是一封写给想象中旧情人的情书。一封对过去的解散式的告别信。充满幼稚的矫揉造作和想要热烈的爱，却只敢胆怯地在内心世界上演轰轰烈烈的胆小鬼的深情自白。 整个故事很简单，我年少时暗恋过一个女生，我从她爱恋的眼睛里爱上了我自己，我们曾经陪伴，但从未真正有过灵魂上的共鸣，但我太胆小，太寂寞，所以我一直抱着拉康的凝视，只看她一眼就觉得自己会被爱情杀死。然后不断地内心戏中，我一个人抱着孤独走完整个单恋与暗恋的全程。爱情没有发生，她只给我了一个离别的吻。我们毕业了，她去国外留学了，而没用的我，没法出国的我，只能被留在原地寂寞、忌恨、痛苦、纠缠着全部的记忆。（对方实际上早就不记得这段了，而且在现实中估计也搞不懂这个女人怎么自己就演完了一场无人知道的独角戏） 总之就是一个懦弱的文青女孩走完了暗恋女神的全过程，靠想象的爱维持的孤独的宇宙注定崩塌，化为尘埃，作为尘埃的作者也只能叹息着回归现实，继续前进，寄出这封只有收信人，没有收信地址的、无人查收的情书，对自己的感情做最后的道别。 完全看懂了。 正因为完全看懂了。我才觉得，不值得推荐！！！！ 完全可玩可不玩！从虚弱无力的内核出发还是别玩的好。 弱小的自卑所散发的自恋，实在太过空虚，所以主人公就被困在空虚的宇宙。 记住，只有真我里才有真爱。自我都不肯面对的人，注定感受不到真正的爱。 所谓的爱从不是宏大的注脚与情感的支配或占有，那只是一个眼神，一句关怀，一份安静的陪伴。 你以为牵手、拥抱、接吻，都不是真正的爱，只是爱的形式？ 哼幼稚！其实真正的爱，早已藏在其中。 玩完只想大骂： 愚蠢的自恋狂，睁开眼看看吧！多少爱都被你浪费了！！！

If I could give this a neutral review, then I would. The writing is mediocre, and the voice feels too bland and emotionless. I know this story is supposed to be a memory, yet it feels distant, and I can't connect with the main character, Vera. I like how metaphorical the writing is, albeit lifeless. I understand the monologues perfectly fine, and I can tell the developer wanted the story to be denser despite its short length. But unfortunately, it didn't work very well because it is shallow and almost feels like it was touched by AI writing. I don't hate the vague ending per se; the story is just not for me.

I really like the general vibe of this game - the arts and pictures were just amazing, and the soundtrack was very climatic - I very much appreciate the work that went into all of this. However I couldn't shake off the feeling, that the story tries to be more deep than it actually is. The overwhelming amount of metaphores and, I guess, "philosophical/poetic" takes made the narrative overly stretched and simply difficult to follow. I couldn't connect to the actual story and the characters.

[h2] “为了你，我甘愿在这里燃烧千百次”[/h2] 非常感谢开发者在听了我反馈后及时修改bug，这对一个成就党来说真的很重要了。 这个游戏其实我刚开始没有玩懂，因为没有对上电波，只是感觉游戏的文字在我眼前堆砌变成一堆华丽的符号，就像是在看俄式的《“亡妻”回忆录》，但是在慢慢进入制作组线性叙事的逻辑里时好像又读懂了什么，因为整体的表达还是挺细腻的，所以感兴趣的话还是值得一玩，并且玩完会觉得维拉真的很有阴湿女鬼的潜质，这种爱而不得的情感描写的太好了。游戏的底层逻辑是碎片化叙事所以会故意把时间线切碎，把真实的情绪藏在意识流的台词以及隐喻里，一不留神就会跟不上制作组的脚步而脱轨。 喜欢的点也是有很多，一是里面恰到好处的配乐，总是能够随着情绪的变化而表达出不一样的感受；二是美术风格，能将动漫、像素和写实摄影结合得恰到好处也是让人佩服的一点；三是流畅的全程配音与不违和的中文翻译，可以沉浸式的体验小情侣的日常。 [spoiler] 我最喜欢的是锅炉那一段，锅炉是用来提供热量的，在维拉的幻想里，莉娜是要踩着轻盈脚步去往阳光灿烂的未来的；而自己没有能力跟过去，那自己唯一的价值，就是留在最阴暗的底座，把自己当成燃料烧掉，用自己的毁灭，去为莉娜的远行提供最后一点温度，女鬼味简直溢出来了...就像原文说的那样：“这场牺牲被冻结在黑暗之中，裹上了冰霜，但火焰依然在这里燃烧。这意味着被留在地下黑暗中的人可以继续让上面的人活下去。” 还有黑板上的单翼鸟，在游戏里，维拉对着黑板许愿：“一只翅膀飞不起来，拿走我的吧。”随后她的肩膀破裂，长出粉笔翅膀，所谓的“比翼双飞”，需要两只鸟各自拥有健全的翅膀。但在维拉的视角里：莉娜是那只想要飞向外面的鸟；但她们的关系却像是一只“只有单侧翅膀的怪鸟”。而这句“拿走我的翅膀吧”反映了维拉极度自卑又极度依恋的心理。她认为自己没有能力独立飞翔（去外面的世界），所以她愿意撕裂自己的肉体与灵魂，把自己的血肉折断做成翅膀拱手送给莉娜。[/spoiler] 看完我只希望她们俩好好的在一起吧，不就是异国恋吗...小情侣可以做到的！
