Her World

Taking the more psychological horror elements from the tail end of Some Some, Her World is a strong VN that showcases one of the genres VNs do really well, horror. Unreliable narrator, untrust-worthy girls, and a world who's rules are consistent in their madness. The gameplay sections are okay, nothing to write home on but are also completely optional. They do reward extra slice of life scenes and some adorable chibi images of the three leads so I felt rewarded.

이전에 미래여친, 넋두리, 산타, 여우를 해봤었습니다 학생 시절 얼마 없던 용돈을 털어서 구매하고 산 작품들은 저에겐 너무나 큰 즐거움이었습니다. 시간이 지나 성인이 되고 많은 것들을 경험하면서 과거의 추억은 색을 바래갔습니다. 점점 더 희미해지는 기억은 저 멀리 머나먼 세계로 떠나갔습니다. 잊고 싶던 기억, 별로 중요하지 않은 기억 등등에 묻혀 날아갔습니다. 부끄럽고, 알려져선 안됐습니다. 그러나 오늘날 이 작품을, 다시 한번 과거를 마주하게 된 것은, 어린 시절을 떠나보낸 바람은 사실 한 곳으로 향하고 있었나 봅니다. 제 마음 속 너무나 깊은 곳에 자리 잡은 저만의 동심이라는 내면세계로 날아가 아직도 놓아주지 못한 채 다시 한번 찾아주길 바라며 붙잡혀 있었나 봅니다. 문득 떠올라 구매했습니다. 재밌었습니다. 의도치 않게 오랜만에 접한 첫 작품의 주제가 너무나 크게 제 마음을 울렸습니다. 출근 해야 하는데 밤을 자꾸 새게 됐네요, 감사합니다.

Love this game, very good story with twists and turns, action, good sound effects and music, great length even if you only read the visual novel part like me, I liked the quests were skippable wouldn't have wanted to miss out on this. It's a beautiful, heartwarming, and complex story that had me in tears over and over. Great game! Worth every penny!

8.5 Out of 10. I liked how the mystery is solvable if you like to solve mysteries before the main character does. Everything else is great the story, characters and music. Now only a few problems which aren't to big of a deal. The translation was good, but had some moments for me where I didn't understand what was being communicated, localization was at times immersion breaking. The mini game seems unnecessary and poses no real challenge or fun, you might get blocked by furniture or a wall which is more frustrating then challenging. It is optional, but if you want to see additional scenes or cosmetics there is no other way. Finally I ended up liking one character a lot more over the one I think the game wanted me to like. A lot of story and emotional moments were devoted to that character.

This is amazing in pretty much all aspects (story, setting, characters including the protagonist, plot twists, atmosphere,...). I also really liked the bonus minigame (because despite being tricky at times, it was still managable to win without being a pro at that kind of games) and the system of collecting shards in order to unlock additional stories and costumes for the minigame is fun too. I found the protagonist really likable (which I initially didn't expect before playing) and I think that his bonds with characters are mostly very well done (especially Yuri and Woobi). The plot itself and the world-building are quite creative as well. Overall I found this to be a very pleasant experience, even the UI/ layout is very satisfying and I'm literally obsessed with the background CGs (probably some of the prettiest backgrounds I've seen in VNs).

first of all, the entire layout/user interface of this game is so beautiful and really easy to navigate! it makes this game feel more episodic rather than one constant stream of information, so taking breaks in between gaming sessions couldn't be easier the creators knew excellently how to explain the 'indescribable' somehow in words and with minimal artistic interpreations, and not knowing what the hell is going on makes me feel truely unsettled!!

이 게임의 단점은 물론 있다. 엔딩을 보고 나서, 단점을 보는 눈이 너그러워진 걸까? 저 단점 때문에 이 게임을 중도 하차했었다면, 분명 후회했겠지. 모든 기억의 조각 파편을 다 모았고, 서브 스토리도 전부 해금 했으며, 스킨도 전부 구매하면 기억의 조각 파편이 딱 한 개가 남는데..? 이 게임을 하면서 느낀 여러 감정들을, 잊지 말라고. 계속 기억해 달라고, 마치 그렇게 내게 말하는 것처럼, 작고 희미한 기억의 조각 파편 하나가. 게임 속 그 자리에 계속 남아 있다.

Only bad thing i gotta say for now is the terrible audio balance on default. The background music is turned off by default (why?) All audios are best at 50%, with background music at about 20%. In about 1.6h, i've completed 2 quests and 3 main story parts (chapter 1), which on the top right of the "main story pannel" it said 4/54 (part i was about to do). Which goes to show how long the story is. about 12-20h to complete, as often, later chapters are shorter because of the story having to progress to come to an end. I might update later down the line if there's anything wrong or great about it, but for now i only got default audio balance to complain about edit: First quest at the school "Finding Yuri" doesn't have good placement of flashlights "hints". Uppon collecting the axe, it gives a prompt about a door being unlocked... What it doesn't tell you is that you gotta go back to the start of the level, which seems useless to go at (2 enemies spawning at the top of the screen, like it's trying to keep you away from that direction. But, you gotta go back the way you came from (top right of the map) And it doesn't have any hint leading to that.---------------------------edit after about 12h reading (about 4h afk time) i've reached chapter 22/54 (chapter 27 is the half point). Which counts for about 22-36h to complete if you don't skip around and read at a medium speed and do all side stories and quests.-----Reviews with less than 20h should be taken lightly, as this is quite long if you don't skip around edit 2: Sub stories 6 of Hyeon-ah and Yuri had to be completed twice to count in the sub stories completion. final quest of the mountain is just trial and errors over and over until you find the correct path, which is not fun to "brute force" a puzzle, trying every posible combination until you finally get it right.---------------------It did took me a bit more than 35h to complete (not including afk time, and adding 3h from steam removing my playtime, for some reason), reviews of less than 20h obviously skipped around or didn't do any quests or sub stories.

A visually impressive visual novel with a deep story and lore about an unknown world and it's inhabitants.It really makes the player uneasy and on guard as it mixes both elements of a visual novel and an isometric exploration game together to bring you a new way of experiencing the story. Each of the story it's chapters give you 2 shards which you can use to unlock either costumes for the exploration or smaller side stories that tell you more about the characters you interact with in the main story.All in all this is a really great read and i am glad that i have read it.
