Dreamy Planet

我相信会有不少玩家给差评的，因为三观正常的人都会被女主之一春香气到。她很懦弱遇到困难就容易放弃和逃避，碍于世俗的眼光想要妥协但是又无法抵御内心的欲望导致一错再错既伤害了自己又伤害了别人。要是看情节一定有百合粉觉得这是粪作了，但是我觉得在如今这个不安定的世道，现在的年轻人多多少少都能在她身上看到自己的一点点影子，可能不是在感情上而是在工作或者生活上有点像这个女主一样想安于现状但是不甘心，不甘心又没有勇气跨出一步，于是反复地挣扎与痛苦。鉴于最后还是开放性的结局，所以还是给个推荐。

This is a short but still overwritten yuri story about feelings of helplessness, powerlessness, love, and friendship. There are multiple phrases, similes, and metaphors throughout that try to leverage the two characters being nurses by using medical situations or health issues that largely fall flat. As a medical professional myself I thought this story would at least somewhat delve into the interpersonal issues that may have led to Haruka leaving her job, but they're just hinted at. This is genuinely a very deep issue that I've personally yet to see explored in almost any piece of media. I thought with this description talking about the protagonist being worn down by their demanding job that we would get more than just "I wasn't a very good nurse, I quit five years ago" which was repeated a few times. Despite the descriptions of medical issues that I think are intended to appear as how a character sees them, they're simply narration to the reader, sometimes even about the protagonist herself. They were not used terribly effectively either, with one such issue likening a person needing to have sex to a terminal patient clinging to life. And while it's a very real thing for medical professionals to sometimes have flashbacks or see things or compare to work situations in various unwelcome times, it was never leveraged that way, it was simply comparisons, similes, and metaphors that largely felt like they were used to remind you that the characters were nurses at best, and at worst they were very poorly chosen. Past that, the story feels overwritten at times, purposefully utilizing language that - while grammatically correct - feels unnatural, as well as some long-winded descriptions that do not add anything except word count. There is a lot of talk about the characters' pasts, but it's mostly just references to events and descriptions of how the characters feel about them. I think this would've been so much more effective utilizing even short flashbacks, or delving into a few of the more important events more than mentioning a lot of them. There were also quite a few BG's used, but not many CGs and there were no sprites other than the two main characters, which with the story that was present the assets could have been redirected elsewhere. There is a lesson here, and the story takes a decent path through it regarding love, and one's feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness and how a person can get caught up in that. I personally found the ending somewhat lacking, and per the notes the original ending was worse. I do think the story is somewhat relatable for those who feel stuck in life, especially for those who feel like they have no good options to choose from. Last thing I'll mention, the BGM is pretty bad. Some of it is fine, but the majority of it clashes with the writing to the point where it negatively impacts the story. It seems like it's trying to be understated and minimalist, but does not manage to do so, instead feeling like random changes in tone in one song and uneven volumes and tones. It's the only VN to date that at any point I decided to completely turn the music off. I didn't like this visual novel, but I can see how some people may find this touching or at the very least relatable. I can't recommend this though, but admittedly I am sure some people could enjoy it.

I will always defend Angst and Drama. Enough fluff I want to feel pain! xD (fluff is fine too)

Very nice vn. Everything was nice. Now I wish for a tanned friend who can listen to all my problems

My simple review of this game: CONS: The music PROS: Everything else.

Really underestimated this one for some reason, even though I should know better than to doubt the queen of lesbian cannibalism. Save me, mentally ill 30-ish comphet lesbian housewife, mentally ill 30-ish comphet lesbian housewife save me

didn't know what 2 expect going in but was really surprised by how good this was, story is really engaging and the visuals were great. the music scared me at first but honestly it really helps set the atmosphere. i think it's worth full price :D
