Fallstreak: Requiem for my Homeland

Not my favorite vn, but i liked playing it

Хорошее дополнение к fallstreak, примерно 3 часа на прохождение и трогательная история конца мира. Я бы рекомендовал пройти сначала fallstreak, а потом уже этот тайтл.

[Review contains spoilers for both Centicerise novels] A great prequel. It still leaves some things unexplained, though. I wish we knew who the Church was actually fighting against. Did they just kill anyone who didn't support them? There are clear parallels between Velour and Denise, and Amenae and Mallory. I mean, same thing where 'tough orphan protagonist is soulless and unstable unless it's regarding their one only friend who has a soft and kind personality'. I wonder whether the writers did this on accident or on purpose. I do wonder how the Rue twins got into Mr Damalure's possession, considering that in the prequel he only makes a brief cameo inside of the church. Did Velour sip him the tea? They are seen next to each other in that church. So maybe it's meant to imply that they're together? Maybe they married and took the Rues in as foster children? Maybe in Requiem for my Homeland Velour has an offscreen relationship with him? Also, this is more of a technical thing. But I did not realize that the 'overseer' was actually a separate character and not just a renamed Velour, until Velour saw notes from them. I did not even realize that the scenes with the Overseer were flashbacks. It ended up getting me very confused, as you may imagine. I feel like the studio behind this should use a clearer marker to indicate when the perspective is being switched from one character to another, or when there is a flashback. Because sometimes it can be difficult to tell - especially when both take place in the exact same location. Edit: Retrospectively, I also realized that when Velour seems the experiment girl, that is due to the experiment girl bending reality with CD while subconscious in the tube (just like with the calamities).

Worth the Price

Amazing, this is the first visual novel that I ever completed cause it is short. I have other visual novel games but I haven't complete it so this review is very subjective. I like the fact that this is a kinetic novel which mean I don't have to choose whatever decision to get different endings lol. So this game basically is like a light novel or 2 hours anime movie even though I done playing with 0.9 hours because oh well some part with the gun effect or fight scene I just click through unlike anime they will animate those fights haha, the lore is interesting, illustration is good but I do feel like it is not enough. I do understand art is hard to make and budget issue. I don't know about other visual novels but I do prefer more arts. Overall, the story is good and interesting, I do hope for a sequel or prequel.

Incredibly heartbreaking visual novel about a child soldier at the ending of the world. Prepare to cry.

[h1]Steam Deck Experience: Playable[/h1] You'll need to stick with the touch screen or mouse controls. This story was 1/4th the length of the previous Fallstreak, had a quarter of the characters, a quarter of the music, cg, character art, everything. I found the story transitions jarring. I was completely confused and a lot of the story felt unnecessary. It doesn't need saying but this story is extremely dark. It some how was able to be far darker then the first VN. You might be asking why I recommend it then with such a negative review. I don't know. Something about this story just kept my interest the whole time. Maybe it was me hoping that the story had a light at the end of the tunnel. It kind of did. Maybe I was hoping for an explanation for the events in the first VN. I just couldn't stop reading for some reason.

fhe one negative review on this book makes a good point about having the screen shake for dramatic effect . Interfering with the reading did not bother me but there you are in case you are concerned . This vn uses a similar character as in one of the most graphic stories of genuine cruelty in the original fallstreak and and expands on the concept for a very depressing ending . The original fallstreak seemed light and dark to me this this is all dark it starts off with a death march to the end of the world after all so yes it is depressing . you have been warned . excellent writing and character development must like to read zero nudity or sex..

✔️ Tested on Steam Deck, it works fine (12/09/2025). 'A' button to advance text and touchscreen for menu. The story is way more condensed and at least it has a clear direction but it lacks depth. Writing, music and art are still really good and make it worth reading, but feels like there's so much potential unused in this story.

Лучшее, во что я играл за последнее время. Атмосфера безнадежности и неуютного холода передана прекрасно.
