Heroine for Hire

(Note: I am unable to get the "Pyrokinetic Lovers" achievement... I tried three times... I swear I got the "Perfect Ending" -> It told me so. :> Every other achievement I obtained -> worked just fine. :D) I kept looking at this game, as something about it was drawing me in. Then I had to read it! I was... Super glad I did. This game is... Hilarious... Has really great artwork... The scenes are beautiful and romances... GOOD. No one was annoying! Everything was just right! And! There are pretty good choices, which let you pick if you are "nice", "brave"... Like that. There is nothing confusing about those choices... They all make sense! Love it! I love that bunny chicken bird! ("Bunnywren"), Well, I am not really in love with it, but you know. It's adorable. I can almost imagine the cute "Antoine"... I don't do favorites, as there is always something to be learned and there is always something interesting in a route you take. I do like the picture with "Veris with flowers"... Adorable >:3 Oh and the MC is too and the others and... Okay, that's enough, there is literally nothing to complain about. >:D I am so glad to have read this (If you couldn't tell already) and I give kudos to the Creators and I hope that this will get more attention... Because it is worth it. This just shows you that you don't need Anime-like cutsey stuff to do some darn good writing/storytelling and presentation and goodness. THANK YOU. REALLY. :) =) :>

I would love to see more from this developer in the future. This is a very cute game - The 2 love interests are sweet, the protagonist is fun etc. I can't give this game a positive rating because I found the writing to be missing a big 'something.' I wonder what would have best provided this - an overarching plot? Better characterization? More intrigue? Less linearity? More branching choices? One way or another, a few hours in it was feeling like a chore and I found myself speed clicking quickly through the story just to get through it and 'complete it'. And then unfortunately most of the achievements ended up not showing up in Steam for me anyway and the achievements have falsely stalled at 50% for me in Steam. But it is truly a wholesome and sweet game. If you're interested, try it out - you might get bored but you won't hate it.

Just purchased it today. Only played through it once so far 2.9 hours- going to replay it a more for sure. Hooked. Played Fai's route. Pleasantly surprised with this one. Was not expecting such a well rounded experience overall. The story is solid, cute, and the little details are so charming. The writing is good. Just on point made me literally burst out in laughter at the wit of these lines. Great dialogue, brings humor and tenderness together. The art is fun, whimsical, and endearing. Love that this was not the typical overdone visual novel rpg- Female Protagonist is no wimp. Please make more <3 Jellyfish Parade - Consider me a forever fan of this.

[h1][b] Heroine for Hire [/b][/h1] [b]Summary:[/b] • Out of a job, down on her luck, and certainly in need for a change, Lyre Harmoniel is ready for things to start going right. With two paths for both her career, success, and love, you decide the route to a new beginning. [b] Thoughts [/b] Oh, what a delight! Sweet, soft, and humorous from start to finish! [b]The Good:[/b] - [b] Lyre [/b]: Normally, the very first thing that I dislike about a VN is the main character. However, Lyre is actually my favorite (you read that right) part of this game. Brave, funny, earnest, and likeable, it’s easy to want her to experience the best things. Plus her interactions with her family made her experience even more fun to read. 10/10 for Lyre. - [b]The Romantic Options[/b]: Okay, so I didn’t play Veris’ route yet, but I have finished Fai’s route and thought it was delightful. The two romantic options are quite different, but still have something compelling and sweet about each of them. - [b] The writing[/b] – This game balances so many different hats that so easily and often don’t work. It’s humorous without losing its heart. It’s fantastical without losing emotion. It’s romantic without sacrificing character motivation. I was equally invested in seeing Lyre follow her heart romantically and vocationally. The two themes mixed together in a way that seemed effortless, and natural. ALL that AND it’s long?!?!? Then you incorporate the price and your head starts hurting. - [b] The length[/b] – Good long, not bad long. - [b] The UI [/b] – The UI was really pretty and, more importantly, fully functional lol. [b] I Wanted More: [/b] - [b]Worldbuilding[/b] – I have questions regarding this world! I hope the author chooses to return here because I want to see how this place unfolds. [b] Eh [/b] - A personal gripe: I thought the artwork for the cut-ins and the sprites were both beautiful, but I would have enjoyed seeing the same style consistently. I know that’s not the trend for the genre, just a personal thought. [b]You’ll Like This If: [/b] - You’re in the mood for something soft—no angst here. - Wish-fulfillment for having a job that you love and appreciates you! - You like VNs!

A nice pleasant read with great writing. :)

Удивительно хорошая новелла. Ожидал что это будет что-то посредственное со стереотипными неживыми персонажами, но на самом деле всё очень органично. Читается приятно, есть забавные и просто очаровательные моменты. Никто из персонажей не вызывает раздражения, а наоборот - постепенно они начинают нравиться всё сильнее (даже если в начале были какие-то опасения). Оба рута приятно проходить и всё смотрится естественно. Отличная романтическая новелла, лёгкая и приятная.

"I'm not sweating, you're sweating!" I've been meaning to play Heroine for Hire for the better part of a couple years, and I'm glad I finally did. The dev has a warm, beautiful way of writing family (Timpani and Lute my beloveds), and the love interests are both darlings. I've finished one route so far, and really looking forward to the next!

Lovely story and characters alike! It has only 2 LIs BUT! Each routes has its own story development and it's really good. I LOVED IT. It is not 'we met, flirted and fall in love' or 'we hate each other but decided to love anyway because we're hot' story. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those too. What I'am trying to say is this game focuses really on 'development' side of things. In terms of love plot pace side, I'd say this is a slow burn. It won't show the lovey dovey phase much. But there's lots of character building, I felt like we got to know a person and not just how hot and gorgeous they are. So if you are looking for something like this, I RECOMMEND. 9/10 (-1 for that style gap between CG and sprites)
