很喜欢这部的世界观和剧情,少见的主线为主感情线为辅的百合游戏。但续作我看我有生之年是等不到了,感觉真的被腰斩了
В fault - milestone one ты не просто читаешь визуальную новеллу — ты оказываешься наблюдателем за крошечной вселенной, где магия и наука сталкиваются так же резко, как мечи в битве на рассвете. Эта история начинается с разрушения: королевство Рузенхайд было атаковано, и принцесса Сельфина, весёлая и светлая, вместе со своей королевской стражницей Ритоной вынуждены бежать — но телепортация переносит их не домой, а в чужой мир, полный загадок и неизвестности. С первых страниц тебя встречает атмосфера тихой тревоги: густой лес, странные растения, никакой жизни — только шорохи ветра и твои самые смутные догадки о том, что произошло с их миром. Там, среди мрака, Сельфина и Ритона не просто пытаются выжить — они ищут ключи к возвращению домой и ответы о том, как вообще рушатся королевства. Игра не предлагает тебе развилок или многовариантных концовок — она представляет собой кинематографическую повествовательную новеллу, где весь фокус на истории и персонажах. Тут нет управления подобно RPG или приключенческим играм — ты просто следишь, учишься, переживаешь вместе с ними. Одним из самых прекрасных моментов для меня стала сцена, когда Сельфина впервые признаёт, что её оптимизм — хитрая маска, под которой таится страх. Вот тут история перестаёт быть просто путешествием героинь — она превращается в размышление о боли, надежде и ответственности, которые приходят с лидерством. Ритона, в свою очередь, — это идеальный контраст: мисантропичная, практичная, но при этом невероятно преданная. В её тихой заботе о Сельфине ты начинаешь видеть, что героизм — это не только победы, но и умение оставаться человеком среди хаоса. Ещё одна тема, которая оставила след, — это лёгкое чувство потерянности в огромном мире, когда герои не просто ищут путь домой, но одновременно ищут себя. Эта внутренний поиск вплетён в каждый диалог, каждый пейзаж и каждый взгляд на загадочный лес, который, казалось бы, живёт своей жизнью. fault - milestone one — это не просто визуальная история. Это поэма о магии памяти, о хрупкой связи между прошлым и настоящим, о смелости жить и искать ответы там, где другие видят лишь мрак.
I've played the demo before deciding to purchase this game, and I found myself really enjoying the novel. After picking up where I last left the demo, I found that a lot of the story is told through flashbacks, but regardless, this sets up for world-building potential. I don't mind this and I'm sure that this is the stepping stone for the second episode. I'm late to the series and sadly, the third game as of writing this review in 2025/11/13 has not been released yet. I loved reading this story line. The story incorporates magic, science, philosophy, politics and fantasy in one world. These five attributes in this game are what contributed to my immersion as a reader, and it manages to blend these subjects in a way that is captivating and emotional at the same time. Furthermore, they've nailed the fighting CGs and art in this game; there's nothing more to say past that. The negatives I've got to point out are that this game ends on a cliffhanger, is quite short for a VN and production time is, unfortunately abysmal. That being said, with how cheap this game is - the price is definitely worth it and I can't wait to play the next subsequent games. I'll definitely take a look at the next upcoming title for this franchise. 9.5/10
This is one of my very first experiences with visual novels. So keep that in mind. Although I have enjoyed anime for a long time I never really have visual novels and chance and this definitely kept me turning the page (clicking the button?) Overall I definitely did have problems at first with how they were displaying mental health especially in such a young child. But I think by the end they did some work to address this and not put all the blame on said child Overall this story has an interesting fantasy world with fun world building and disturbing concepts. A lot of the characters are very young and shown commiting violet acts on other people or eachother. If that doesn't bother you it's definitely worth the read The themes all focus on mortality, morality, emotions and sense of self. Some themes of nature vs nurture. If we can be redeemed for our past actions (especially if we are young with less of a sense of right an wrong.) I'll probably continue reading more from the developers when I have the time.
1和2的配角之间的故事都超级感人
At most, an okay game with some potential (as it seems to be the first episode of its series)? The art style looks quite amateurish, and the story-line jumps around too much, making it feel like some scenes might have been cut due to budget constraints or similar reasons. The BGM is... sometimes it barely matches the plot, while other times it just plays or stops abruptly without any connection to what is actually happening in the story. Honestly, it might be better to just mute the sound... The female lead.... she has such a weak presence that it hardly makes a difference whether she's in the story or not. In fact, if, instead, the third female character were made the protagonist, the story might actually have a stronger sense of purpose and be more coherent. Recommend as it was a gift from my friends, and it offers trading cards and steam achievements... but won't suggest buying without a decent discount.
For a Western VN it gets the aesthetics pretty spot on. Some of the sound mixing is a bit wild- especially the pub music.
Best visual novel I've ever played
超大杯同人
纯看故事游戏。 比较舒适的是本作主要聚焦在亲情和女性情谊上,同时也不乏galgame特有的情感煽动能力,虽然有些地方显得过于天真烂漫,总体游玩的体验还是不错。
