Flowers -Le volume sur printemps-

之前看人避雷这是男性向还以为会有膈应人的剧情，实际完全没有男性向的感觉，描写相当细腻

百合大好，推理的音乐很上头

My First Visual Novel Experience: Flowers -Printemps- ​Overall Impression: A Bittersweet Beginning After spending 30 hours on my very first Visual Novel, I’m left with a mix of emptiness and so many unanswered questions. Flowers provided an incredible first experience, even though I struggled with unfamiliar vocabulary and the vast amount of references the game threw at me. ​The "Brutal" Puzzles: I’ve heard that the puzzles are a weak point if you aren't good at deduction, and boy, did this game crush me! As someone not great at riddles, being asked about things I’ve never encountered was a real challenge. ​Example (The Number 17): I was so confused! I learned that in Italy, 17 is considered unlucky because the Roman numeral XVII can be rearranged to spell VIXI, which in Latin means "I have lived" (implying "my life is over"). It was a "head-scratching" moment for me, but looking back, it was actually very interesting to learn something so niche. ​Story & Characters: The narrative does a great job exploring Suoh’s painful past and her journey to move on while developing relationships with her "Amitié." The game gives us choices on who to bond with, leading to 7 different endings. I hit 5 Bad Ends before finally clearing the last two! ​The Endings: If I had to choose, I preferred Rikka’s ending. Mayuri’s ending felt far too tragic to be a "True End" for me. It’s a cliffhanger that really makes you want to jump straight into the sequel to find out why Mayuri left the school. I feel so sorry for Suoh! 🥹 ​Final Thoughts: This was a perfect first impression of the VN genre. My explanation might be a bit messy, but I’m so glad I discovered this game. Huge thanks to the person who recommended this to me—it truly meant a lot. ​See you in the next season!

im killing myself

在听见真由理谈论起更为中意《飘》里面的斯嘉丽时，顿觉我对夜樱树下的她一见钟情，其实不过是命中注定。

姑且是在春天的尾巴打完了这部，flowers作为以四季为题的四部曲，在一开始我就对每部的叙述风格和主题就有了些预料，春天的恋情嘛，合该是青涩懵懂，有些说不清道不明的。 实际上也大差不差，但真走到有些剧情的时候还是有点迷糊了，可能是已经脱离了青春期的缘故，一些角色的行为逻辑经常让我有点满脸问号，更别提某位还搞威胁强迫别人和自己的在一起意思崩人设的某人，给我难受得她的线都不太想打了，欸......都是编剧的锅，一定是，小女孩们能有什么错呢。 真要说不是特别推荐的一作，但胜在音乐好听，cg好看养眼，看到有些剧情的时候别太动真感情就好了。

I originally began playing this game about eight years ago. I've always been a fan of the concept of visual novels, but I honestly hadn't played through very many at that time. This one seemed sweet, so I decided to give it a try. This story centers on Suoh, a socially anxious girl with some trauma in her past, starting at a Catholic boarding school. Her level of social anxiety has kept her from ever forming friendships, and this school's system of pairing up girls to support each other is very attractive to her. Suoh gets paired with two other roommates and has to navigate friendships and potential relationships with them and the other girls at the school. It is a beautiful and sweet story. But... My one major complaint is that it's just too hard to get the good ending(s) without a guide. The puzzles require you to know a lot about the Japanese names for flowers and their association with classic literature. And I feel like this story didn't need a "game over" just because you get to the end without enough points. [spoiler]Suoh's mistake while playing the piano (after being traumatized) should not make someone decide not to be with her. That feels disingenuous to the rest of the story, and only serves for it to be "replayable", in my opinion.[/spoiler] I eventually restarted the game, following a guide for every answer. It was a bit tedious playing through the whole story again, and I took frequent breaks to play other games, but I really wanted to give Suoh her happy ending. So, here, in spring, eight years later... I finally finished the good ending. Just to discover that... [spoiler]...there isn't one? I knew that Flowers was a series, but I'd assumed the games were only vaguely related, self-contained stories. Turns out, this first story ends on a cliff-hanger. I am actually a fan of cliff-hangers. (What can I say? I'm also a writer.) But after the agonizing process I went through to complete this game a second time, a sad "true" ending was really not what I was expecting![/spoiler] Still, I loved this story too much to not recommend it. I deeply resonate with Suoh, having suffered extreme social anxiety most of my life. Rarely have I found characters I could relate to this much. My advice is to buy the whole set of Flowers and just use a guide to get through from the start. I'm hoping to enjoy the rest of these games, but admittedly, I might need some time to recover from this one.

不推荐。剧情几乎稀碎，感情线也很神秘，冲着音乐和画风唯美给四星，唉但是话又说回来了就算是答辩也要自己赤一次才老实

Pero qué hermosa novela yuri, me va a dar algo de tantas emociones obtenidas al mismo tiempo, 1M% recomendado. Ahora mismo me interno en una academia católica.

[h1]少女心事如花开，春天也藏着未解的谜[/h1] “春天不是答案，它只是让沉默的种子，有了开口的勇气。” 校园，常常容纳着青春、误会、试探、告白和那些不愿被轻易说出口的秘密，而今天要介绍的《FLOWERS 春篇》（FLOWERS -Le volume sur printemps-）恰好是这么一部青涩的校园故事：在一所被森林与高墙包围的宗教女子学院，我们的女主角白羽苏芳，在陌生的春天里学习交友、学习心动，在新环境中建立友谊。 春的故事发生在在圣彗星兰学院——一所教会性质女子学校。我们的主角白羽苏芳从小深居简出，带着对校园生活的憧憬来到这里，并被安排进学院特殊的“Amitié”伙伴制度中。“Amitié”伙伴制度简单来说就是根据每个学生的性格，为她们匹配安排合适的“搭档”，在学校一起学习生活。 我们会见证苏芳上课、读书、参加活动、认识同学，还有她与其他女主角的每一次靠近、每一次主动开口、每一次因为他人而产生的动摇。 本部作品除了我们的女主角白羽苏芳，还有两位与苏芳关系密切的少女——真由理和立花。她们之间的情感像春天枝头刚鼓起的花苞，还没有盛放，却已经能闻到百合气息...... 那些课堂间隙的闲谈、图书室里的相遇、花影下的沉默，都是春天悄悄落下的种子—— 《FLOWERS 春篇》虽然打着“百合”“LGBTQ+”的标签，但它最打动玩家的地方并不是女主角之间的“甜”，而是那种像春雨一样细密的情绪：克制、敏感、试探和少女心事。 除去本作细腻的剧情故事，Innocent Grey的审美就是最大的优点。本作游戏画面有一种非常稳定的“洁净感”，人物立绘精致，背景带有古典学院气质，整体色调柔和但不寡淡，服饰、发饰、光线、花语和室内陈设都刻画地十分细致。本作的音乐也十分契合“春”的主题，旋律轻柔，关键剧情奏响时还带着点酸涩感。 如果说很多恋爱作品追求的是盛放那一刻的灿烂，那么《FLOWERS 春篇》迷人的地方，恰恰在于它愿意停留在花开之前。那是最暧昧、最青涩、也最容易让人心软的瞬间：一句话还没说出口，一份心意还没被确认，春天却已经替少女们吹动了裙摆 春天从来不只是万物复苏的季节，它也是沉默开始松动、孤独开始发芽、心事终于有勇气靠近光的季节 而《FLOWERS 春篇》，正是这样一朵开得很慢、却值得等待的花 [quote]关注&加入∶[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45540934/admin/reviews_manage/]深澜探索者[/url][/quote]
