­Into the Deep Dark Green Sleep

[h1]静かな夜、温かいココアを飲みつつプレイしたい作品[/h1] Steamを漁ってて気になったので購入。 "朗読ASMRを聴く"という感じの作品で、ゲーム性はあまり無いので注意が必要です。 [h2]心地の良い雰囲気[/h2] プレイ時間は15分ほどと短めですが、聞こえてくる雨の音と詩的な文章の心地よさは素敵でした。 文章の読み上げは、まるで朗読ASMRを聴いているかのような感覚になれて良かったです。 エンディング曲も雰囲気にマッチしているので、最後まで本作の心地よい雰囲気を味わうことができました。 [h2]絵本のようなビジュアルと詩的な文章[/h2] ビジュアルはまるで一冊の絵本のような感じ。 柔らかな色彩と温かみのあるイラストが、シンプルながらも印象的な世界観を作り出しています。 はっきりとしたストーリーのオチがあるわけではなく、プレイヤー自身の解釈に委ねられるという感じも好きでした。 [h2]静かなひと時にぴったりのゲーム[/h2] このゲームをプレイするなら、深夜の静かな時間や雨の降る日がベスト。 窓際でココアを飲みながら、誰にも邪魔されずにゆったりとした気分で楽しむのが最高のシチュエーションに思えます。 日常の喧騒を忘れ、ただ静かに雰囲気に浸ることで、なんてことない雨の日も特別に感じられるようになるかも。 [h2]好みが分かれる作品[/h2] ゲーム性というよりも「雰囲気を味わう」ことに重点を置いているため、人によって評価は分かれると思います。 しっかりとしたストーリー展開やゲームらしい要素を求める人には物足りなく感じる可能性は高いので注意。 しかし、静かに流れる雨の音と、しっとりと心に沁みるような雰囲気が好きな人には堪らないのは確かです。 [h2]まとめ[/h2] 心地良い雰囲気に浸れてリラックスできる作品。 派手な演出やドラマチックな展開はないものの、落ち着いた雰囲気の中で、美しいビジュアルと詩的な文章を楽しむことができる。 何も考えず、ただリラックスして物語の空気に浸る。そんな贅沢な時間を過ごしたい人には、ぴったりの一本かもしれません。

It says 15 to 20 minutes, but I finished the story in only about 8, making it perhaps the shortest genuine VN that I played, so it seems the vision for this game was just that, like a small poetic experience with cozy vibes. Generally, I don't mind short games, and I actually played a couple of similar visual novels that were under 15 minutes, but those were usually $1-2, not $3.99, which I feel should justify something with a little more context. I do think the game has a compelling idea to it, if I am not mistaken it's about taking a break from the routine to be alone with your thoughts, making time for yourself, and leaving the outside problems behind if only for a day. Unclear if it's happening for real or if this is being used as a metaphor, given the poetic nature of the writing I suspect it could be the case, as well a little hint at the end, perhaps the hidden cafe could be any place you want, if you remember to take time for yourself? Or maybe I am completely wrong. Strangely it has both Female/Male narration and people are credited for it, so I guess they actually narrated the game twice, which is kinda interesting, personally I don't see it done very often, perhaps to make it more relatable (I don't speak the language), soothing voice though, helped with the immersion. The art panels were pretty, but also nothing special if we include many similar games, so I thought overall the game was a little underwhelming, that said, I liked the music during the credits, as well as those relaxing vibes. [h1] Pros: [/h1] (+) A little detail I liked is if you switch voice over, you get a different character male/female. On that note, I kinda wish you modified to show their individual perspective, but I didn't feel like that was the case. (+) The atmosphere was nice and chill, granted you don't get to stay in that for very long [h1] Feedback: [/h1] - maybe if you had more panels focusing on the character, having more close up scenes with his/her perspective, I think that would have helped me enjoy it more. You probably should have modified writing for each character, that would be a lot more interesting - the UI for settings feels a bit off target [b] Overall Thoughts: 4/10 (it's not bad, it's just too short and maybe could use a little more focus on the characters) [/b] I enjoyed the 8 minutes of this game, but you need to give me a little more than that for $4, it's a nice idea for an experience, but if all you can do is 8 minutes, other games can do it better and more of it. I think you should have focused more on the characters and their thoughts, as well as perhaps having some unique scenes for each of them and their unique perspective. So yea, it's like a short poetic experience, not much else to it. [code]Niche, obscure and underrated games: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/ [/code]

Great lil' ambient gem, perfect for guided meditation and relaxation. Both male and female narration available.

与其说是游戏，不如说是电子绘本，全程没有任何交互 适合有时间泡杯可可或是有闲钱买艺术品的人 最上川

本当はないのに、たしかに目の前にある心地よさ…。 真夜中の寂しさ鋭利な刃物の譬えは私の傷と共鳴します。 彼らは「新しい朝はやってくる」を一区切りにしましたが、 私はもう少しだけこの心地よい空間に身を任せてみたいです!

Coziest game i've ever played.

童話みたいなノベルゲーム 読み上げの声を男性/女性で切り替えられるので雰囲気で 男性の声はまさかの…だったのでちょっとニッコリしてしまった

Evocative and delicate storytelling in all dimensions.
