[h1]Review at Sinical Network[/h1] https://www.sinicalanimenetwork.com/post/2019/01/27/how-to-sing-to-open-your-heart-review [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i] is an otome visual novel and third title of the Story of Eroolia series as a sequel to roseVeRte's earlier visual novel [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i]. The game features Princess Myana who is the leader of the luccretia (cat people featured in Story of Eroolia series) as the protagonist this time. After the events from [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i], Princess Myana is magically teleported to Eroolia by the black cat from the earlier titles in the Story of Eroolia series to observe the pact between Laarz and Eroolia, and to visit luccretia that are living in Eroolia. Amidst the backdrop of mutual distrust and suspicion between humans and luccretia, Princess Myana is accompanied by her bodyguard Leona, her good friend, and diplomat Regina to work together with King Juli of Eroolia to see how luccretia are doing in Eroolia as well as to learn more about the Inadaptability Disease that is affecting luccretia. During her stay in Eroolia, she will get to know the black queen Ludovic as Juli's guard captain and King Juli's sister Princess Anna while also meeting all of the characters from [i]How to Take Off Your Mask[/i] and [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i]. As with earlier titles of the Story of Eroolia series, the game has plenty of save slots to allow different gameplay and dialogue choices to be made during the game, with a small popup icon of Regina and Leona/Myana to reach a slightly different storyline branch and open a secret unlockable scene at the end of the prologue and the first 3 chapters. The chapter summary is retained in this visual novel, while the story and plot is also written as a romantic comedy with two endings. As a romantic comedy, it retains the charm and appeal in the Story of Eroolia series with cute characters, glittering CGs, and comical light-hearted moments with the appropriate background music [i]Dojikko March[/i] and [i]Haru no Yokan[/i] which accompany these moments. There are also pleasant and tense moments in between. Having a large cast of supporting characters with voice acting and a larger role helps to enhance all these parts out. In addition, the protagonist and a few main characters will also have outfit variety while there are also small variations in the facial expressions and ear movements for luccretian characters which make the artwork stand out. With 14 BGM from Music Atelier Amacha and Peritune, [i]Ukiuki Lalala, Natsuiro no Campus[/i] and [i]Tenshi no Yume[/i] are a few of the pleasant background music which are memorable. The theme song with vocals [i]Kokouta[/i] and the insert song [i]Issho ni[/i] which is also worked into the theme of the story are lively, upbeat and match the happy moments in the story. Having played through earlier titles of the series, I would also give props to the developer for keeping the character mannerisms and way of talking consistent. For example, Princess Myana and Leea would often end their sentences with mya and nya respectively, Regina might sometimes giggle when she's nervous, Princess Myana would tease someone to be her bride again, while Leona and Simon remain brash as ever, and Mars remains as an easygoing person who enjoys teasing people. Overall, [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i] is the largest scale title from the Story of Eroolia series which has the largest cast of characters with a different voice actor or actress for each character. This game is recommended with the theme song DLC for the cute characters and fantasy world in Story of Eroolia as a romantic comedy featuring humans and luccretia with attractive and comedic artwork, pleasant background music, unique character personalities, and great voice acting to make the game feel satisfying after finishing it. Hope this game will qualify for Steam trading cards in future, and the developer will continue to expand on this series with a sequel as the main characters are memorable and consistent to have a long-term impression. I have voted the developer roseVeRte for the Best Developer Award in 2018 for producing three titles of the Story of Eroolia series after several years, and for being very responsive to fan feedback. Keep it up roseVeRte!

Do you like cats? Do you enjoy a sweet love story? Well, How to Sing to Open Your Heart does contain both of them! A story about cat-like humans mixed with romance. As our princess of the cat-like human travels to the world of humans, she meets a mysterious man who is unlike any other guy she met before. I was very excited when I got the chance to try this game out since I always love giving visual novels a try. Some games end up totally surprising me and some leave me back with a sour taste. Sadly, in this case, it was the letter. I really enjoyed this game nonetheless and it had every potential of becoming a good otome game, however, it definitely has its flaws. On the side note, this is the third game of the Eroolia Series. While each game of this series is playable on its own, it's still recommended to play How to Take Off Your Mask and How to Fool a Liar King before starting How to Sing to Open Your Heart to be able to understand the happenings within this game. Myana, the princess of the Luccretia, is visiting Eroolia to form a new pact between Eroolia and Laarz, her hometown. First of all, I’m sure you’re wondering what Luccretia is. Well, they are basically a mix of humans and cats, they’re humans with cat ears and a tail. As you can already imagine, they both don’t really get along, in fact, Luccretias are getting deeply despised by the humans. The mysterious and cold man, Ludovic, is no exception. Still, Myana ends up getting really bothered by this man. They’re getting tangled into each other as the story goes on and start to care about each other more than they realize. First of all, the story was very predictable and you probably won’t keep playing this game if you are looking for a decent plot. In fact, the story tries to surprise its reader but fails to do so. The pacing of the story felt a bit weird as well, while it started very slow at first, the confession of Ludovic was very sudden and felt unnatural. It was a very sweet proposal, but the two of them didn’t really have the time to interact with each other and are in love with each other immediately. They just needed more time to properly getting to know each other and falling in love. Romance definitely needs time to develop. It’s also weird that Ludovic was attracted to Myana immediately, even though he was an Anti-Luccretia. This simply felt off, as he is supposed to hate them, but on the other hand, falls for one of the Luccretias at first sight. He tries to help her with everything as well, even though he didn’t really talk to her before, let alone knew anything about her. Another thing, which really felt weird was that the characters were just overly cute. I usually don’t mind adorable characters, in fact, I absolutely adore sweet girls. They’re just trying to be so cute, it’s starting to get cringy at some point. I know they’re supposed to be cat-people, I just don’t think it’s necessary to add “mya” and “nya” after every sentence. Yes, there are species of the Luccratia who always add “mya” or “nya”, included Myana. That’s why it was especially annoying since she was one of the main characters and this game resolves about her. It made them only seem more childish and immature. I couldn’t understand the actions of Myana at times as well, and she doesn’t seem like she is able to properly make decisions, while you would guess she has to be, I mean she’s a princess after all. It also seems to be like Ludovic is presented as a cold man at first glance, but is just too shy and nervous to actually show his real feelings. The premise of this cold, but sweet man, is very popular and definitely a nice character you will want to romance. I mean, who doesn’t like a man who is cold to everyone but when it comes to the person he loves, he will be the most adoring man ever existed? I just have to critique the way it is done, it feels like Ludovic was a really cool character at first, however, soon you will notice he is not that cool of a man and he really adores collecting plushies. Okay, so now you could argue about that point. While some don’t mind their man being into girly stuff, it definitely felt off that a supposedly cool man is actually just nervous and more importantly into plushies. It didn’t match his personality at all and will only change your opinion of him, maybe even to the worse side. And I can say with confidence, that most of the girls like a guy who is an actual man. If you like girly guys who only look like a proper man, Ludovic is definitely such a guy. As someone, who has read the previous games of this series, it was really exhausting going through the same plot over and over again. The Luccretias are hated by humans and that’s without question a serious topic. Even nowadays we still have a big problem with racists, however, that was always such a big deal in all three games, that at some point I started to wonder, how often do they want to mention it any further? I also don’t think simply wearing a headband with cat ears means that you are not against Luccretias nor that should even be necessary. I wished it wasn’t such a big deal presented all over again, but I doubt it will change in further games. If you’re tired of repetitive content, you definitely shouldn’t play all three games in one go. The graphics were really pretty and we already saw the characters in the previous games. Sadly, the CGs are very limited and don’t often display any kissing scenes. It felt a bit off when they were kissing, but you could only guess it through the sounds of the voice acting. It may be very confusing, but other than that, there are many cute CGs. In How to Sing to Open Your Heart, there are very beautiful soundtracks as well. You can even listen to an actual singer while Myana is singing and it sounds really calm. The singer for Myana definitely did a great job. The characters are voiced and it really matched their personalities. How to Sing to Open Your Heart is completely voiced in Japanese, even the main character Myana and she also sings in Japanese. The only thing I really have to critique about this is, like I have mentioned above, that the “nya” and “mya” sounds were very annoying in the voice acting as well. It just sounded childish and I wasn’t sure if this otome game isn’t even targeted towards younger girls. In the end, would I recommend How to Sing to Open Your Heart? As you have surely noticed, I have very mixed feelings about this game. While I’m absolutely in love with otome games, and visual novels in general, I can not recommend How to Sing to Open Your Heart wholeheartedly. This game sadly does not offer enough positive aspects, since its theme is repetitive after the third game, the character development does simply not exist and the romance was just rushed, even the story was predictable. However, this game contains very cute scenes of our main couple and looks absolutely gorgeous. How to Sing to Open Your Heart also made me chuckle a couple times. I would only recommend this game if you’ve played and really enjoyed its previous games How to Take Off Your Mask and How to Fool a Liar King otherwise, you might want to save your time for another game.

[b]Note: Before I begin this review, I just want to note that I helped edit [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i], so I won't comment on the writing or editing. However, I will still comment on other parts.[/b] [b]Update:[/b] This is a slightly remastered version of an old review. For a review of the remastered game version, please click [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/skyeraye/recommended/1815820?snr=1_5_9__402]here[/url]. [h1]Finding Love through the Power of Music ^^[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i] is an otome (which implies romance, yes), fantasy visual novel and is the third game in the Eroolia series. (If you haven't played either [i]How to Take Off Your Mask[/i] or [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i], it would be a good idea to do so, especially the latter. However, this visual novel can be played without having played the previous games.) This time, you take on the role of Myana, the princess of Laarz, a country of cat people (luccretias). She visits Eroolia, the country of humans, on a diplomatic mission to strengthen the ties between her people and the people of Eroolia. This is a bit of a minor spoiler, so be forewarned. [spoiler]At the end of [i]How to Fool a Liar King[/i], an alliance was established between Laarz and Eroolia, thanks to Regina, the princess of Ozzwa, who served as the neutral party.[/spoiler] However, almost upon immediately arriving in Eroolia's castle, Myana is rebuked by Ludovic, imperial guard captain to King Juli. As Myana finds out for herself, there are humans who do not take kindly to luccretias and Ludovic happens to be one of them. However, it seems that fate keeps bringing Myana and Ludovic together, so we are left to wonder... Will they find in love, despite the odds stacked against them, or will the hate between humans and luccretias end up being too much? I'll stop my story synopsis here to avoid further spoilers. In regards to gameplay, there is just the option of choices. There are two paths you can take: the teamwork and independent paths. The choices you make in the prologue, chapter one, and chapter two determine which path you're more likely to go on. That really is all there is to it. [h2]Review[/h2] Ok, now let's move onto my critique. I've been following the Eroolia series since [i]How to Take Off Your Mask[/i] and I really like the story behind [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i]. I love Myana's character. As a princess, she's a strong ruler and she thinks about what's best for her people. She can be naive at times when it comes to the people of Eroolia, but that's understandable, considering that her exposure to humans before coming to Eroolia was very limited. The chemistry between her and Ludovic is definitely there. There are times when it gets serious between them and other times when it gets downright comedic. They're from different worlds but you can just feel that there's something between them that can't be denied. I love the return of previous characters as well, especially Regina and Lilia. Oh and I have to say that I absolutely love the introduction of Anna, princess of Eroolia and King Juli's younger sister. She is my favorite character in the entire series now. :D I feel that the story is very well-paced and it doesn't feel dragged out. In regards to art, it is beautiful and I totally love the CGs. Myana's new outfits are absolutely adorable. The soundtrack is nice to listen to as well. There are old music tracks from the previous games as well as new ones. Of course, there are plenty of Steam achievements although there are no trading cards. However, perhaps if there are enough sales, we may very well get them. ;) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1632103777 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1633631886 [h2]Conclusion[/h2] Overall, I highly enjoyed [i]How to Sing to Open Your Heart[/i]. Each game in the Eroolia series keeps getting better and better, and I'd love to see more. Oh and yes, I'm definitely biased when I say that I want one with Anna as the main character. XD For the asking price, it's totally worth getting. You'll get plenty of gameplay and I almost forgot to mention but there's Japanese voice acting, too. The voices are a wonderful delight to listen to and make it worth the game's price. If you're especially a fan of VNs, I highly recommend checking this game out and supporting the developer to continue making great games like this. ^^ [quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44702020/]The Introverted Gamer[/url] and [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/7593237/]Otome Rakuen[/url] team up to give readers highly detailed, thorough reviews of hot romance games.[/quote]
I finished the game and i want to say i LOVE IT!!!! it is both funny and dramatic in all the right places. i own and played all 3 now and i can say this series is amazing, definitely a must buy. and even if this is your first one it is still easy to follow as the game explains enough not to be in the dark if you never played the other 2. I am going to play this one a lot more to, even after finishing it. it is one of my favorite games just like the whole series.
The ‘Story of Eroolia’ series, made up of 3 games is a series I would recommend to anyone looking to play something fun and light-hearted. The games should be played in the following order to get the best experience out of the series, as the main character of the continuing games are introduced in the previous game. How to Take Off Your Mask How to Fool a Liar King How to Sing to Open Your Heart All 3 games make up a fun experience, featuring couples with a different chemistry while continuing to further build upon the overall story. How to Sing to Open Your Heart focuses on the love between Myana, the princess and ruler of Laarz who loves singing and Ludovic, the Chief of Imperial Guards in Eroolia who is easily misunderstood for his cold attitude but loves cute things. The game takes roughly 7-8 hours to complete when leaving the voices to run till the end and is split into two paths, the ‘independent’ and ‘team work’ route, affected by your answers throughout the chapters, both which are equally enjoyable. If your someone reading this who is new to the series, I’d recommend you pick up the first game and if your someone reading who’s already played the previous games, then you can look forward to another great game wrapping up the events of HTFALK.
가면을 벗는 방법, 거짓말쟁이 왕을 속이는 방법에 이은 여성향 연애 어드벤처 '에루리아 시리즈' 3편. 번역이 매우 잘 되어 있고 전작에서 스토리가 이어지니 전작 플레이는 거의 필수. 초반의 선택지가 후반 분기를 결정하며, 가이드에 선택지 공략이 있습니다. 다른 시리즈와 마찬가지로 소녀만화처럼 달달하고 부담없이 가볍게 읽을 수 있으며, 도과 올클도 간편합니다. [code] 스팀 큐레이터 : [url=store.steampowered.com/curator/44849820/]INSTALLING NOTHING[/url] [/code]
Polska recenzja + Plusy + Poważniejsza historia, choć nadal urocza i słodka jak w poprzednich częściach Nowe fajne postacie: Ludovic, Anna Całkiem niezły główny wątek miłosny Dwie ścieżki, które naprawdę bardzo się różnią od siebie (rekomenduje przejście obu, aby poznać kompletną historię) Jak zwykle cudowny voice acting Protagonistka wyrazista, z charakterkiem co się BARDZO ceni w tym gatunku gier Żarty, które bawią ( a przynajmniej mnie bawiły ) Bardzo śliczna tytułowa piosenka Gra jest opisana raczej prostym angielskim, więc raczej większość zrozumie czytany tekst - Minusy - Czasem protagonistka podejmuje nieprzemyślane, bądź egoistyczne działania Niektóre wątki w grze wydawały mi się zbędne bądź tandetne Jako fanka shipu Juli x Regina troszkę mi ich tu brakowało :( -/+ Neutralne -/+ Poziom muzyczny i graficzny taki sam jak w poprzednich częściach Taki sam system gry Podsumowując: Jeśli graliście w poprzednie części i wam się podobały na tej raczej się nie zawiedziecie. Nadal jest to urocza i rozcieplająca nasze serduszka historia z nutką powagi i lekkiej tajemnicy. Więc ogólnie polecam :)
天道好轮回,前作Juli拱了Myana的白菜,这次轮到Myana挖Juli的墙角。 画风越来越成熟了,按套路Anna莫非会成为下一作的女主? 本作男主Ludovic上得了厅堂,下得了厨房,[spoiler] 喜欢毛绒玩具的居家好男人。 [/spoiler] 最后Myana直接强硬理由娶路德回家!不愧是猫女王啊….[strike] GB大法好! [/strike]
[h1][b]总评:推荐[/b][/h1](打折血赚,原价不亏) [h1][b]实际通关游玩时间:6小时[/b][/h1] [b]*ルドビク役の声優さん愛音さんのファンなので購入しました 因为是男主角的声优的粉丝所以买了 **日本語版でクリアしました 日语版通关[/b] [h2]【游戏基本情况】[/h2] ①所有角色包括配角[u]全语音覆盖[/u],但声优大多都是同人声优(不是专业商业出道的那种),还请知悉; ②就单条线的文本量来说应该算[u]短篇作品[/u],攻略对象只有一位,CP固定,[u]单线攻略[/u]; ③玩的时候都是按照计量条单色全满来玩的,没有尝试过其他攻略方法,但就全成就达成了来看END应该只有2个,一条线一个END,都是HE,这么看来选项可能只影响最终进哪条线; ④剧情设置上有多视角的描写,主要是女主角视角,但也有男主角视角的剧情来补充内容。 ⑤女主名字可以变更,但考虑到这个游戏给我的感觉,似乎比起玩家的代入感更希望玩家去经历(見守る)男女主的恋爱故事,因此[u]本人推荐不变更女主的姓名[/u],保留默认姓名进行游玩以达到更好的剧情理解&游戏体验。 [h2]【综合评价(无剧透)】[/h2]游戏的完成度还是很高的,并且还是全语音,就独立游戏来说非常难得。rmb只要50(折合日元千円不到啊)我觉得是非常划算很值的,并且有日英双语,看不懂日语的小伙伴也可以尝试一下英文攻略。 攻略难度不高,挺简单。 女主角性格挺讨喜的,身为公主行事风格也比较强势,而且唱歌很好听,外表也很可爱,个人非常喜欢女主角。不过本人平时不怎么玩乙女游戏,也不常看少女漫画之类女性向的NL作品,可能是这个原因本人受恋爱剧情的触动不是太深。个人来说比较喜欢单独篇的剧情。 系统设计上文字游戏该有的功能基本都有了,而且[b]OP真好听啊!!!!!![/b] [h2]【剧情简单评价(无主要剧情剧透)】[/h2] 双线分为 [b]单独篇[/b]和 [b]共通篇[/b],最终都是HE,个人比较喜欢单独篇的剧情。 简单说明,单独篇跟共通篇的区别在于女主Myana在决策时是偏向私情还是偏向理性,如果偏向理性则进入共通篇,偏向私情进入单独篇。 以解决两个国家之间的问题为大主线之下支线来发展恋爱剧情,男女主携手突破难关的感觉,就事件的设置上看得出作者对世界观设定下了不少心思。 本人第一条线走的是偏向理性的共通篇,作者似乎希望建立起男主角反差萌的形象,但在共通篇里表现得有些突兀,有种为反差而反差的感觉,而且共通篇Myana多次压抑自己的感情,导致她前期做出的举动明明基本都没有偏向男主角,而后期就开始谈恋爱了,两个人感情突然好了起来就有些让人有些困惑。 这两点违和感在[b]单独篇[/b]柔化了很多,单独篇里Myana很诚实地表露出自己的感情,加上男主角视角的剧情描写,让整个感情发展顺滑了很多(我觉得单独篇里的男主更可爱:D❤~),反差萌看起来也不那么刻板了。 虽然看故事也是看个人口味以及和故事的相性,不过个人还是[b]主推先从单独篇开始攻略[/b]。 **需要注意** 推荐还是两个线都通完,两条线不仅仅是感情走向不一样,对真相的解明也提供了不同的角度,要完整理解整个故事还是两条线都通了比较好。 另外,单独篇的Epilogue(后日谈)是没有共通篇长的,推荐共通篇的后日谈也去看看! [h2]【最后】[/h2]ミャーナとシモンさん好き~!挺喜欢女主角的,男性角色上综合来看我比较喜欢Simon哈哈!XD 之前在讨论区报Bug还给作者さん添了不少麻烦(鞠躬谢罪x),制作者反应速度也很快,人也很Nice,期待以后能继续带来优质的作品。
