KANADE

一个，很难一句话概括但是又特别简单的纯糖短篇视觉小说。 视听体验也好程序也罢就不谈了，frontwing那自然是没得挑剔的。 我只想说一下这个剧情。 许先生！拿这么B棒的资源，拿来写一个这种剧情，你心里，不会感到羞愧吗！ 唉，但是Kanade写得这么可爱，想了想，算了算了。 「恋は、落ちるもの、理屈じゃないもの」 初见看起来像是一个纯糖短篇，但整体玩下来可以看得出来还是想讲一个有头有尾的故事的。 前面玩得想抠脚趾，但是整篇看完之后，动机、背景都交代清楚了，人物的行动逻辑也能理清楚了，最起码就没有在前面完全没铺垫时看得那么尴尬了。 整体故事线可以说是很简单很常见的了，人物的感情发展也好主线推进方式也罢，基本在看到前面几行就能猜个大概的程度。但是行文本身没有很生硬，也不算很做作，大体上算真情实感，几个配角也都有不错的塑造，所以在我这里整个剧情发展不会算很低分的地方。只是非常可惜，这主角二人的交互就算是写纯糖也不至于说写成这种故事吧，这个真是太遗憾了。 要打个比方的话，就像我想吃鱼了让老板弄个鱼肉料理，老板给我端了个鱼肉派出来。最开始吃还以为是很简陋的鱼+派的组合，但是品尝完之后发现老板还是很用心地把鱼肉的味道和派的味道有机结合起来了，火候也好，口感也好，全部都细细调整过了，真让我说难吃吧好像也不至于，但是你要是把这鱼直接蒸煎炸炒煮了，我觉得肯定都能让我赞不绝口。 当然，私心来说，虽然看起来并不算那么合理，但是那个并不算很好的结局我还是挺喜欢的，另一个大家一起共度困难的结局当然也很好，就我个人的审美来说第一个结局确实是看起来更棒的，让我想起了另一部作品。 总而言之的话，女主可爱基本可以算是整个故事推进的唯一动力。 如果是看中这点的话，我认为这部作品还是有相当的价值的。 如果是追求故事性的话，那恐怕真的会有点失望。

cg很精良，音乐也不错 但是剧情太一般了，一句话“音乐是世界上最初的魔法”便可概括全部剧情，还不如ginka，还是在各种模仿亚托莉。

If I could describe KANADE in two words, they would be “disappointingly plain.” Literally the only reason I read this game is because I got a review copy on launch, but it took me a year to actually get the motivation to read it, despite this only being a 5-hour moege visual novel. If I had to be honest, I’m not sure who this visual novel is supposed to appeal to. The main girl, Kanade, is a decently likable deredere heroine. However, since this game is only 5 hours, there’s really only so much you can do with her, especially since her half-alien origins don’t really matter that much, outside of some (in)convenient plot twists. It’s a pure love story about “A SONG THAT WILL SAVE THE WORLD.” There’s so little going on in the game, this game's story will keep reminding you that this is in fact the final goal multiple times. Sadly, both the pure love story and the end-of-the-world aspects are incredibly half-assed, both in terms of buildup and execution/payoff. This supposed wholesome pure love story starts with the main duo, Yuto and Kanade, being pen pals. That aspect is nice on paper, but you don’t even really get to see much of their letters outside of an unlockable prequel after you fully finish the game. While they do have some cute interactions here and there, since once again this is a 5-hour game where you have to develop both a post-apocalyptic world and a deredere love story, there’s only so much they can do. The romance dialogue boils down to something like this... Kanade: “I am Kanade. I am innocent. I need to fall in love for the plot. It sounds transactional, but since I’m pure, it’s okay.” Yuto: “Okay, I think I will try to fall in love with you, even though we are basically in love because the plot says we are, because we talked in letters before.” Basically, once they actually confess their feelings and don’t just "try" to be in a relationship, I just didn’t feel anything particularly anything, even with some very mild, very quickly resolved melodrama. I’ve seen plenty of decent, actually developed deredere romances in many moege VNs. I guess Kanade could be a starter visual novel for people new to the medium (supposedly that was the goal?), but it’s so shallow I would actually recommend other shorter VNs over this. And then there’s the post-apocalyptic setting with the plants overtaking the Earth, Kanade’s half-alien origins, and the world ending or something. Sounds potentially interesting, right? Well, it turns out that what I said above is true: Kanade’s half-alien origins don’t really matter outside of a plot twist that comes so late with little to no buildup I just didn’t care. The post-apocalyptic Earth barely got any buildup because you only see a few side characters, who are extremely forgettable, interact with said world. And while you kind of explore a few places in this post-apocalyptic Earth, it’s not particularly interesting. By the time you get to the emotional climax with “THE LOVE SONG THAT WILL SAVE THE WORLD” (once again, they will say this phrase many, many times, especially towards the end), everything was just so shallow and hastily thrown together. I just didn’t care. The most praise I can give this visual novel is that it’s kind of like a wholesome feature-length romance anime film, kind of like a Makoto Shinkai movie like Your Name or Weathering with You. But even those movies had more going on than KANADE, and those were less than 5 hours! I just don’t know what Frontwing was thinking with making this VN. I guess it’s nice that they want to make something more wholesome and simple compared to their usual catalog, but wholesome and simple should not mean half-assed, lazy, and repetitive writing. Unless you are allergic to yuri VNs, I think Lilja and Natsuka Painting Lies, written by the same scenario writer and also developed by Front Wing, is a way more memorable story and is only 15 hours long, since it has actual character buildup into emotional moments. Once again, I don’t know who to even recommend this title to. There are so many moege I would recommend as a first-time VN to people. They’re much better short visual novels that are handier with better execution and more memorable development than KANADE. And there are visual novels with actual interesting post-apocalyptic settings. I guess if you are really desperate for more heroines with Kanade’s design in an all-ages-only game, then… sure, read this I guess? Just don’t expect the most interesting or particularly developed romance.

前排剧透警告！ 并不感人的爱情故事，非常不错的作画却搭配上了这个平庸至极的剧本；故事既然选择在近未来废土这个无比宏大的舞台上，我游玩之前还很期待能够看到一些波澜壮阔浪漫凄美的爱情故事，也做好了挨刀的准备（ 结果你从头到尾都在搞什么玩意，叙事节奏也乱七八糟，剧情更是没有吸引力，完全没有什么吸引玩家看下去的动力，朴素的甚至可以说是无聊的日常，趣味和甜度都不够的互动；我期待能看到后续有什么令我惊叹的转折才得以玩到最后；但是最后莫名奇妙的事故，还有匆匆了事的结局，都让我感到迷惑还有不满，你搭建了这个宏大的背景，还要给全世界高唱情歌，结果最后就这么草草了事，你在逗我玩呢，下次求求换个好点的脚本吧，白瞎了这个我非常喜欢的作画 还有这个定价也确实能够说明部分问题了，前一部ginka定价88虽然风评不是很好但也还凑合，这次直接来个48，看来制作人对于这个作品是什么品质还是心里有点数的（

无聊至极 互动几乎没有 花钱买罪受

第一遍玩很懵，而且日常生活桥段的套路过于模板化，看的很无聊，唯一注意到的是女主角的心思塑造的很细腻，非常有初恋的小女生的感觉~但我觉得就算放眼全篇剧本能觉得很优秀的地方也仅仅这一点了，世界观虽然挺宏大的，但各种设定都禁不起推敲，没有合理的解释，都是理所当然，我说什么就是什么的味。 但经过两种结局后，意犹未尽的我点开新游戏，有种豁然开朗的感觉，有了第一遍玩的积累，对角色有了感情，知道了为什么女主开局就满好感后，就能代入进去好好体会剧情了，真的是，搞不懂为什么要这么安排，剧情中男主一开始就跟女主有了很久的书信联系，但是毫无铺垫，一点感情积累都没有，到第二遍我觉得才真正能体会两个人的感情。 不过就算体量短，因为美术确实足够优秀，价格也不贵，作为一款纯爱初恋甜品也不错~

好玩易上手，剧情和音乐都不错，价格适中

答应我下一作写长点，让yusano多画几张好吗

小奏真的太好看了我靠

다른 비주얼노벨 게임과 비교하면 좀 아쉬운 스토리임. 좀 지루하고 유치한 느낌도 어느 정도 있기에 엄청난 스토리를 기대하고 오는 사람들에게는 비추드림. 그냥 대가리 비우고 즐길 사람만 사셈. 그래도 Frontwing 이라는 비주얼노벨 맛집 답게 더빙은 착실하게 넣어둠
