Harukuru HD. - Spring has come true? -

I REALY REALY LOVE IT!!

・シナリオ ある日、でかい温泉宿で目覚めた主人公＆ヒロインたちは全員記憶喪失。「3ヶ月後助けに行く」と書かれたメモ。周りには田んぼ、海、山、寮、学校しかない。住民はおらず主人公ら5人だけ。そんな状況で90日間という長い春休みを過ごすお話。 はるなつあきふゆあるSF四季シリーズの1作目。原作はキャッキャうふふワールドの存在により、とてつもなく人を選ぶゲームと化していたがsteam版では全カットされたことでサクッと読める神ゲーになった。かもしれない。ファッキン作品の中では一番理解しやすく入りやすい作品だと思うのでSFミステリーが好きな人にオススメしたい。ちゃんと伏線やタイトルの意味もしっかり回収してくれます。最初は「春よ来い」のBGMに恐怖を感じるんだけど、最後には一季の台詞と全く同じ気持ちになるのが凄いね。 ※補足 デフォルトとノーカットパッチがあるが、デフォルトだとキャッキャうふふワールドの導入ごとぶった切っているので最初の説明に理解が追いつかないかも。あと静夏ルートで1枚スチルが描き直されてめっちゃ可愛くなってて良かったです。

It's peak.

For most of human history, winter has been the most challenging season. You could say that it makes you wish for spring to come. I don't really take to like slice-of-life, but I loved Harumade Kururu. At its midpoint I wanted to think of it as a subversion of that genre, but having finished it I feel that it's so sincere that it can only fully embody those themes through darkness. The opening bits are remarkable for the restrained framing of its sci-fi mystery. There are very few visual effects, and it's not a great looking VN in general. Despite surface appearances, the characters are self-aware and introspective—it's almost an "anti-psychological" visual novel in that sense. The game is at its best when it respects your intelligence and allows you to piece together odd details in your head while everything seems perfectly serene. But while it's quite good at leaving breadcrumbs towards its core mystery, it's not subtle about its themes. At first, the most prominent feature of Harukuru seems to be sex, but it after the prologue it becomes particularly invested in the juxtaposition of sex and death. Note: I played the "uncut DLC" where there is no graphic nudity or sex. (below are some content warnings that don't spoil much—but they are bad enough you might need to be forewarned.) [spoiler]There is blood-curdling, graphic mutilation play. There's a stereotypical hot spring fanservice scene where all the characters are trying to wash off the stench of a decomposing corpse, following one of the most ice-cold deaths I've seen in a visual novel.[/spoiler] There's a lot of juxtaposition of a lot of things actually. "Tonal whiplash" is not a phrase in Harukuru's dictionary—it feels like things have to happen so they just happen next to each other. Between this sex-death fixation and scenes of foraging and living off the land, and recurring discussions about the morality of killing another animal, it manages to convey something about human vitality that no 'declining birthrate' scenario ever did. My biggest gripe is that it delivers its strongest worldbuilding in fairly compact blocks that some would call 'infodumping', but they're bad for this game due to its otherwise brisk pacing, and not for visual novels in general. It also feels like it's missing cut-in graphics for these parts, and they would've transformed a 'wow' moment into a '♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.' Maybe read the thing.

前期悬疑后期科幻，少见的强叙事后宫游戏。后宫是设定上必不可少的一环，所以把几位女主的剧情都塞进了一条线不断轮回又不断忘却，剧本的长度也让玩家经历着时间的煎熬。在春天到来之前这无尽的冬天是如此的疯狂如此的迷茫，尽管如此她们还是带着人类的希望踏上了樱花盛开的地表。

このゲームはシナリオが光る部分もあるけど、楽しむにはシモネタ耐性がないとキツイ

シモネタとSFとシモネタとシモネタの寒暖差で脳が破壊される、超名作美少女ビジュアルノベル。10年以上ぶりの再プレイでしたがめちゃくちゃ楽しかった。 2012年発売のオリジナル版と比べ、HD解像度化や一部追加シナリオあり。プレイ時間はきちんとテキストを読んで12時間程度。 sekaiprojectの公式ページで配布のパッチを当てないと、進行不能や一部テキストが抜かれている等あるのでそこだけは注意。 (明らかにセリフが繋がってないのに会話が問題なく進んでる..ウォーーッ！これはきっとデジャビュの演出に違いない！加筆部分！と思って気づかなかった僕がバカみたいなじゃないですか！)

Fuyune best girl

So.....where is the uhh ..... "even more uncut" version? Isn't it supposed to be released on the denpasoft store? Edit 1: Game itself is great tho Edit 2: After actually finishing it, I can conclude that the game is indeed fantastic. Now release the "even more uncut" version, you're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ year late already.

游戏有很多对设定不太靠谱的解释，比如某些时间、记忆、身体状态和世界规则的说明，认真细想会觉得有点为了圆剧情而圆。不过这并不影响欣赏剧情，因为它本质上不是那种靠硬科幻严谨度取胜的作品，而是靠氛围、谜团和路线推进来吸引人。 它比较有意思的地方在于，[spoiler] 有叙述诡计和悬疑要素，并且二者是互相支撑的。剧中经常会用某种看似合理的诡计来解释疑点，让玩家以为自己已经理解了情况，结果后面又发现这个解释本身也是误导的一部分。 [/spoiler]这样一来，哪怕日常部分占比不低，玩的过程中也不会感到无聊，反而会一直想知道它到底要怎么收。 个人认为这是个不错的 loop 系 gal。它的设定解释未必都能经得起推敲，但整体结构和反转节奏是成立的，几条路线也有逐渐揭开真相的层次感。总觉得最后若是 BD，震撼感应该比 HD 更大，不过现在这个收束也算保留了作品本身的温柔。 创新度：A+（21）丰富度：A（20）新鲜感：A+（21）画面感：A+（21） 总分：83
