美工骑着编剧上班

我想看你们两个亲嘴啊

这部作品好到超乎了我的想象，这已经不是作家了，简直就是魔法师…… 虽然这些年岁数大了一些，时不时会有一些感动，但是很久很久没有这样哭了，我甚至感到自己很难去评价它，尽管现在带给我的感受会渐渐淡化，但是它会在我内心里永远留下记忆。我只希望有更多人玩到它，喜欢它，希望工作室能继续做出好作品~

先说结论，我个人并没有那么喜欢，也并不会推荐购买[spoiler]（注意只是购买，但花点时间简单体验一下还是不错的，不是说不支持正版的意思，只是在下认为这点钱你拿去买点排骨都是不错的，不会烧本人可以飞雷神去你家帮你料理（笑））[/spoiler]这部作品，但不妨碍这部作品本身完成度和质量还是过关的。 本作的最大优势就是极其庞大的cg数量，几乎是可以直接当作ppt式的动画看了。 声优的演出我听不出来，但大抵算是无功无过的。 音乐同上，不清楚，我品位比较低，不清楚牛不牛逼。 剧情算是清水轻百，没什么爆点，比较的平淡。 以上是我对本作的夸赞，接下来是我个人的一些批评，没有什么意义。 [spoiler]首先是剧情，剧情说好听点是平淡，说的难听一点就是极其的无聊，基本就是一个心之壁被打开的故事，角色也没什么太多的个性，甚至直到结尾都没有什么问题真正的被解决，只是女主内心变得坚强了，总体而言就是一个断在了很奇怪地方的故事，有种拉屎但留了一点尖尖在ass里的感觉。可能有个后日谈会好一点？演一演女主在学校里的事情？之前带头蛐蛐她的人给她道个歉然后女主展示个格局或者正面肘击这类的吧。（当然这样就未免有些俗套了，而且本身也非常的无聊。）（我可能有些地方记得不清楚了，有错误请指正） 其次是百合。这是一部不是百合的作品，广义上来讲确实两个女人贴在一起就可以是百合了。那本作的这种百合我在高中便已经见识的够多了。高中时期我曾见过两个女生贴在一起，一个叫另一个“妈咪”，可能这还比本作的百合浓度要高一点，这部作品两个人的关系更类似于挚友，硬要说摇曳百合的百合程度都比这部作品高。[/spoiler] 但百合浓度低并不是坏事，毕竟人和人之间并不只有恋爱关系。但是对于冲着百合来看这部作品的朋友可能就要败兴了，因为本作浓度最高的百合部分应该只有贴在一起挠痒痒和口头上的“想要娶你当妻子了”。并没有关系确认，接吻这类的。 [spoiler]最后是虽然cg数量非常高，但是演出效果却还是中规中矩，有点“功夫钱花在刀把”上的感觉，如此数量的cg配上清水一样的剧情和演出，就像黄金浇筑的皇冠上镶了一颗路边捡的牙石，用俗话讲叫“鲜花插在牛粪上”。当然是不是鲜花也有待商榷，毕竟我也不是艺术专业出身，只是看到了后觉得“哇，好多”，“哇，这都要再额外画一张插图吗”，并不真的知道每一张图的艺术成分究竟如何。 最后游戏时长其实是7-8小时左右，我读的比较快所以用了7个小时不到，而二周目我是直接按了skip，成就让我过一遍二周目我以为有额外剧情，但一路skip畅通无阻，不过也有可能是我设置开错了。[/spoiler] 最后是结语：你想买我也拦不住你，多看一条没有营养价值的评论不如现在去厕所看看能不能尿出来两滴来排空一下膀胱，或者直接赠送一下小丑。但本人认为这游戏个人而言最好的享受方式是你看到了你的steam 家庭里有，然后你也实在是闲的无聊了，可以玩一玩。或者直接上你喜欢的视频网站上云剧情吧，非常喜欢的话就买一份支持一下正版。

有点矫情。演出很精美，我不喜欢。 sprite两大传统艺能之感动自己，另一个是炒冷饭。再这样下去二次倒闭无可避免。

First of all, since most people go to the forum and reviews checking for a certain tag added, not, this is not a romance novel neither does feature yuri nor anything related to those two points. This is a story about friendship, trust, finding your place in the world and overcoming your problems. Props to the writer, they clearly had a message that wanted to convey and boy did they deliver. I certainly would have loved the story to be more expanded, there are a few timeskips in an already short span of time covered (one month from end of prologue to end of the novel) and I really think that, despite watching the changes in Mina along those, watching her grow day by day would have been amazing, although based on her personality, probably those changes wouldn't be significant enough. Also, based on achievements expecting you to play it a second time (honestly I was convinced I was going to reread it without them after I finished it), I would have loved some sort of NG+ adding scenes or even being based a one year later. But things as they are, truth is without even changing, replaying after knowing the truth behind the whole story gives a new light in Ran's actions and show you how many hints were there since the start as to why things were like they were. Price might seem like a bit high considering that this is expected to last around 5-6 hours, maaaaybe 7 if you play it without skipping manually not a single scene. But, the thing is, the production value is damn high, it has over 400 CGI, which is an absurd amount, I'm surprised Sprite went with it after how taxing on their budget Aokana was. Keep in mind that this is one of those VNs without choices, you are here to experience a story like if you were reading a book or watching a movie, no different outcomes nor scenes. I won't write more in the review, since I'm going in circles trying to not talk about the story itself, since I think that going blind is the perfect decision, just take the quick summary: Bullied girl hides from the world, feeling betrayed sees an opportunity to leave behind her home and find her place in a small coast town working on a lodge. So yeah, is a coming of age story at heart but centered about self-care in a world that clearly makes it harder each day. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3558944997 If you are filling unsure because the duration, grab it on a sale, there's always the option to purchase the OST later if you want to show more support to the studio.

A tale of friendship. High quality voice acting. Price is a bit too high.

Note: If you're looking for yuri romance, look elsewhere. This is not a romance story. --- "Where there is a will, there is a way" The subtitle perfectly encapsulates the whole story. Perhaps it's my personal background. Everlasting Flowers moved me more deeply than many famous tearjerker visual novels. There are no world-ending or life-and-death stakes. Not even romantic stakes. Yet this simple, grounded coming-of-age story touches something deeper. The story doesn't rely on drama. The tears come naturally through genuine human connection and healing instead. Like, the swimsuit episode is usually some sort of fan-service stuff, right? Why did this one induce tears instead? The game also does something uncommon in Japanese visual novels: it depicts an elderly person as a fully realized human being. The grandma feels like someone who has accumulated genuine wisdom about emotional growth and healing through a long life. A soundtrack that calms me down quickly. Impressive number of CGs for the length of the story. High production quality also. The story pacing is a bit uneven though. The character growth arc is paced in a way that makes sense to the main character, but feels off on the narrative side. Learning Japanese? This is good reading material. Low difficulty and modern writing. Some internal monologues may require careful parsing if you're unaccustomed to the characteristically indirect Japanese approach to articulating emotional landscapes.

everything is good but yuri bait. it's still yuri in my heart
