Magical Eyes - Red is for Anguish

[h1] Genre [/h1] Eine Kinetic Mystery Visual Novel [h1] Story [/h1] Wir spielen den High School Schüler Yuu und gehören zu einer Gruppe namens Disobeyer. Die Mitglieder dieser Gruppe haben Übernatürliche Kräfte & helfen der Polizei dabei Fälle zu lösen wo Übernatürliche Phänomene eine Rolle spielen könnten. Genau so einen Fall haben wir hier, denn angeblich wurde ein Ladenbesitzer von einer Puppe angegriffen und diese scheint jetzt unterwegs zu sein um Chaos anzurichten [h1] Gameplay[/h1] Das Spiel hat eine sehr interessante Aufteilung der Story. Zwischen den einzelnen Szenen, kommen wir immer wieder auf die World bzw. Stadt Map. Diese ist in 3 Bereiche eingeteilt und es gibt immer einen Ort welcher mit einem Goldenen Ausrufungszeichen markiert ist. Dies treibt die Hauptgeschichte weiter voran. Man kann zwischendurch aber auch andere Orte anklicken, wo man dann kleine Nebenstories von anderen Charakteren sehen kann. Man kann es sich so Vorstellen das man im Prinzip gerade sieht was andere Charaktere machen während der Hauptcharakter woanders ist. Diese Funktion finde ich sehr gut gemacht und es gibt einem das Gefühl das die Charaktere & die Stadt etwas Lebendiger sind. zwischendurch gibt es dann noch den sogenannten "Reasoning Mode", hier muss man 3-4 Fragen richtig beantworten um dann einen Rang zu bekommen, für einen S-Rang gibt es dann ein zusätzliches, kurzes Story Szenario. Das Voice Acting ist absolut Fantastisch & die Englische Übersetzung ist sehr gut gelungen. Leider handelt es sich hierbei lediglich um den ersten Teil bzw. das erste Kapitel der Story. Ein Zweiter Teil namens "Indigo Blue Heaven" war in der Mache, wurde aber leider dann abgebrochen und man hat bis Heute nichts mehr davon gehört. Hoffentlich entscheiden die Macher sich noch irgendwann mal dazu, es fertig zu stellen [h1] Achievement Schwierigkeit 2/10 [/h1] Es gibt insgesamt 13 Erfolge. Hierfür muss man das Spiel beenden und muss dabei bei allen 6 "Reasoningngs" einen S-Rang schaffen damit man die einzelnen, zusätzlichen Story Szenarios freischaltet. Man kann vorher abspeichern und es so öfters versuchen, bis man S-Rang erreicht, dies ist aber absolut nicht nötig denn die Fragen kann man alle sehr Leicht beantworten wenn man die Story vernünftig verfolgt [h1] Pro/Contra [/h1] + Story ist Fantastisch + Spannend + Coole Idee mit der City Map und den Neben Stories + Sehr Gutes Voice Acting + Gute Englische Text Übersetzung + Die Charaktere sind allesamt sehr gut geschrieben & likeable + Achievements + Sammelkarten [h1] Fazit [/h1] Ein wirklich sehr gut gemachte Mystery Visual Novel mit einer sehr spannenden Story, coolen Ideen wie das Map System & die Nebenstories, sehr gutem Voice Acting & tollen Charakteren. Ich bin ja Riesen Fan von Mystery Visual Novels und suche immer nach Neuen VNs. Ich bin froh das ich dieses hier endlich durchgespielt habe, es ist definitiv ein Hidden Gem im Genre und verdient viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit. Leider wurde der Nachfolger eingestellt, was sehr Schade ist. ich hätte gerne mehr von der Spielwelt & den Charakteren gesehen. Hoffentlich bekommen wir irgendwann doch nochmal den Nachfolger. Ich kann diese Visual Novel definitiv jedem Fan von Mystery Adventures sehr Empfehlen 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀[list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][*] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44688798/] Follow third group [/url][/list]

Magical Eyes - Red is for Anguish é um visual novel como qualquer outro, onde é contada uma história e a única opção do jogador é escolher em alguns momentos o que ele responderá em certas perguntas. Para mim é difícil fazer uma análise de um "jogo" assim, uma vez que na minha opinião um jogo deve possuir alguns aspectos básicos (controlar personagem, puzzles, exploração, pular, andar, etc) e não apenas apertar um botão e ver o que acontece. Não estou dizendo que o jogo é ruim, afinal ele possui uma boa música, bom desenho de personagens e uma boa história. Logo, recomendo este "jogo" basicamente para amantes do gênero. Nada contra, só que para mim não é muita diversão. Nota 4/10. Recomendo!

Magical Eyes feels like it has some strong ambitions but is ultimately just an average Visual Novel that feels like it was made on a very low budget. While essentially telling a complete story, it’s made extremely clear that this was supposed to be Chapter 1 of a larger story, which a couple of years later at the time of this review, has not panned out. That’s not to say there aren’t enjoyable aspects to this story of a murderous doll with motives unknown, and the investigators with supernatural strength- the characters are fairly memorable, and the mystery is interesting, at least for a time. But it feels like we are thrown into this world and story without enough time to get to ease into it and new characters appear fully developed- nobody seems to grow or change much throughout the experience. The characters in the story also seem to know a lot more about one another and their histories than the reader does. There are other issues, like scenes without character visuals, just text scrolling down the screen making it very difficult to tell who is talking to who. We have the main female character who is so obsessed with the male main character that she seems obsessive and it feels like she may turn out deranged- but it turns out that’s just what the writers considered a normal romance angle. While the character art is okay, if a little low res, most of the background art is low budget CG that looks about 10 years older than it actually is and doesn’t match the style of the rest of the game. There is some excellent artwork to be found, but those examples can be few and far between. While feeling low budget, I think a strong effort was made to give the game some extra personality and style. There is a timeline of events showing where the various scenes from each point of view took place, along with a summary of each event. Each chapter ends with a question and answer round with lets you show your understanding of the story so far and unlock achievements and additional scenes. There’s also a glossary of terms that has some charm, and the game is fully voiced. For a serious fan of the Visual Novel genre, this is worth checking out at the right price, but don’t expect to be blown away or to ever see the next chapter. But stranger things have happened.

能更新个中文吗？？？？？？

This is the vestige of an abandoned series; the tiny number of reviews demonstrate why. It starts promisingly enough. There is decent world building and a degree of mystery. Some of the characters are great - Pops and the kids in particular - and the food-based humour made me laugh a few times. Although there's no English voiceover, the localisation of the text is very good. Unfortunately, the core of the story begins to drag after a while. There is no real sense of risk for any established character, and the overall stakes have little substance. There are few significant developments, and they are buried in heavily padded conversations. When combined with the almost complete lack of interaction - occasional multiple choice questions which don't require any thought - it becomes a tedious process. I wound up skipping most dialogue in the final third of the game, and it still felt like it took a long time. I don't know how it ends, and despite spending about four hours going through the majority of the game, I really don't care (though I hope Chiharu turned out to be the villain, though - her obsession with the main character is the creepiest thing in the game by far).

You won't play this for graphics or music, but the story is nice (and I still like some screens with the "culprit", not spoiling stuff for you here). Very little typos and such, which made for a nice reading. Get this for the story if you must.

Decent short novel, good first chapter in the series. The only problem might be that sequel might be never coming out due to the game being a flop. I still liked the first chapter, but if it bothers you, avoid picking it up.

Magical Eyes - Red is for Anguish is an excellent first entry in a series of visual novels. It tells a story of a group of people with extraordinary skills, dealing with trouble caused by human emotion. Instead of disappearing peacefully, the strong feelings of the deceased keep going, haunting and possessing those around them. The first chapter has the characters come across a mystery involving many disappearances and perhaps even murder -- all possibly linked to an ominous doll. Although Red is for Anguish is not very long, it does a great job establishing the setting and many characters with intriguing personalities. The character art is gorgeous and voice acting is also very good. There are a few less than pretty backgrounds, but overall the VN looks and sounds very good. I will be looking forward to future parts of Magical Eyes to learn more about it's fantastic cast.

Meeehhh.... The writing and music are amazing, the graphics are decent, but the gameplay is very, very bland. Even for a VN, the gameplay is lackluster. You don't choose anything! All the player does is freshen up what's happening with unnecessary pop quizzes. But maybe I'm just a VN noob.
