About

This visual novel is an emotional tale about people brought together by rock 'n roll who are questioning the meaning of their lives, struggling to find a place within society, and agonizing over what music truly means to them.

You play as Kei, a young man from a family line of doctors who is forced him to question his path in life after certain events throw him off the rails laid before him. Through rock 'n roll you'll meet interesting people who offer new takes on life and ideals regarding music. Very few approaches you can take will prove all good or all bad, and nearly all will involve sacrificing something.

Will you abandon music and choose another path? Will you try to value each moment as it comes? Will you do whatever it takes to become a financial success? Dramatic stories will unfold as the consequence of the path you choose.

As a Japanese indie rock artist himself, the producer of this game brings a depth of detail into the lives and culture of indie rock artists that enhances the atmosphere and setting in ways that few others can lay claim to.
In addition to the rockin' background tracks used for ambience during the story, this game contains a full CD's worth of original rock songs created explicitly to represent the tones and styles of the different bands that perform in-game.
The decisions you make throughout the game will lead you down one of five potential paths, each fully fleshed out with many hours of content delving into the consequences of each road taken.
Aside from the protagonist Kei, all of the characters both major and minor are fully voiced throughout the story, bringing another layer of richness and depth.

并非王道热血的故事,有的只是一群脱离常轨的同时又有些才华的年轻人们抱团取暖对着这个操蛋的世界留下自己的痕迹,发自己独属于自己的声音,用自己的音乐传递出自己内心的所念所想。 对于个人来说推的挺纠结的一部作品,我讨厌共通线对于花井粗暴的处理手法,在三日月线的变故后这种讨厌更甚,推完BE后算是彻底燃尽了,我讨厌悲剧。 但最后还是没忍住打开游戏把落下的学妹线推完了,至此整部作品算是彻底完结。同时我也很庆幸没有把BE结局作为自己对于这部作品的尾声。 老实说我并不喜欢这个故事,但它整体上带给人的情绪又不得不令我打破个人喜好的主观因素而给予自己的肯定,MUSICUS就是这样一部令人矛盾的作品,它值得被人肯定和赞美。 如果你也对这部作品产生了兴趣的话,那就放心打开游戏吧!只需要坚持到花鸟风月名为ぐらぐら的旋律响起时,整部作品的魅力便在此刻展开,那是真正的能与男主感同身受的体会到来自音乐之神的瞥视。 作为开篇的第一首歌它毋庸置疑会是满分,神中神。
乐队题材视觉小说中的神作
[h1] 摇滚即是人生抉择,用《MUSICUS!》谱写理想与现实悲歌 [/h1] 本该循着既定轨迹安稳度日的少年,偶然被摇滚音乐击穿内心壁垒,从此徘徊在继承家业与追逐热爱的分岔路口。乐队相聚相伴的热血时光、梦想破碎后的沉沦迷茫、人情聚散里的万般无奈交织缠绕,每一次抉择都伴随着取舍与牺牲,在喧嚣乐曲与平淡日常之间,探寻音乐真正的意义,也书写独属于自己的人生答卷。 《MUSICUS!》是由濑户口廉也执笔剧本的音乐题材长篇视觉小说,同时也是经典作品《KIRA☆KIRA 煌煌舞台》的精神续作以及OVERDRIVE社收官之作。以摇滚乐队为主题,讲述了一群人组建乐队追逐音乐梦想的故事。其深刻的音乐故事,鲜明的人物形象以及海量原创摇滚曲目让人不禁为之感染,强烈推荐喜欢音乐题材的玩家细细品读体验。可惜目前暂无官方中文,没有外语基础的玩家只能依靠民间汉化或者翻译软件。 [h2] 让我们组一辈子乐队吧 [/h2] 出身医生世家的对马馨,人生原本早已被规划妥当,只需要踏实完成学业,便能顺理成章接手家族事业成为医师。一场突如其来的变故彻底打乱生活节奏,青梅竹马的意外风波让他蒙受无妄非议,即便并未牵涉其中,他依旧选择主动担下责任,最终被迫从重点高中退学,转入半日制夜校就读。 脱离原本生活圈层的对马馨陷入深深的人生迷茫,看不到未来前行的方向。一次偶然机会,他受邀撰写乐队相关采访稿件,就此邂逅人气摇滚乐队花鸟风月,也结识了天赋出众但性格矛盾的乐队主唱花井是清。那极具感染力的现场演唱深深震撼少年内心,让从未触碰音乐的对马馨萌生向往,执着期盼着能见到这支乐队能够下次登台演唱。 然而花井是清早已在长久创作中耗尽热忱,对音乐与生活双双陷入倦怠迷茫,满心疲惫的他最终选择解散乐队告别舞台。而后花井的骤然离世,彻底成为故事重要转折点,少年失去精神引路人,也正式站在命运十字路口。 在随后做出的不同选择中,将引领男主走入四条风格迥异的人生线路。弥子线归于世俗安稳,主角放下音乐执念,回归行医正轨,收获平淡踏实的日常幸福;轮线沉浸音乐热爱,肆意享受追梦过程,追寻音乐最本真的纯粹模样;澄线走向偏执沉沦,主角彻底被音乐裹挟束缚,舍弃亲情友情,在极端执念里一步步坠入黑暗深渊;三日月线学会与生活和解,直面青春遗憾与病痛桎梏,坦然接纳不完美的人生。 整部故事没有非黑即白的标准答案,乐队解散、友人离世、梦想变质、人情离散等现实桥段接连上演,褪去青春热血的滤镜,赤裸裸展现追梦路上的残酷与无奈,只能说还是那个熟悉的濑户,为笔者展示了一个更加激烈也更加真实的音乐作品。但或许就是这样,才更加让人印象深刻。 [h2] 视听表现 [/h2] 本作的画风有些区别于常规日系萌系风格,角色身形高挑修长,人物神态、表情差分丰富细腻,感觉是融合了些许欧美绘画特点。但CG画面质量还是相当能打的,涵盖舞台演出、日常相处、悲情离别等各类场景,氛围感渲染到位。 作为一款音乐为主题的作品,音乐自然是本作的核心,由御用摇滚团队倾力制作后,收录足足三十余首原创曲目,朋克、抒情、激昂、颓废等曲风一应俱全。每首歌曲贴合对应剧情心境,舞台演奏曲目燃感十足,日常配乐舒缓治愈,悲情旋律压抑深沉,音乐不再只是背景点缀,而是推动剧情、烘托情绪的关键部分,不同线路专属曲目精准烘托故事基调,听觉体验极具感染力。此外配音表现也十分优秀,除主角外,其余角色均配备完整日语声优演绎,声线贴合人物性格的同时情绪演绎也饱满真挚,进一步增强故事感染力。 [h2] 结语 [/h2] 游戏既有撼动心灵的原创乐曲,也有鲜活立体的众生百态,那些热血沸腾的乐队时光,无可奈何的离别离散,以及截然不同的人生归宿,共同拼凑出一段跌宕起伏的成长故事。强烈推荐喜欢音乐题材的玩家细细品读体验。 [quote] 闲暇时光,不妨试试游戏。 欢迎关注[url=store.steampowered.com/curator/45653622/] 闲暇時光鉴赏组 [/url] [/quote]
[h1]《MUSICUS!》:人生是一场真正的音乐剧[/h1] [h2]——没有看过《MUSICUS!》的乐队痴人生是不完整的[/h2] 比起谈《MUSICUS!》有多神作,在各大评分网站上有多受欢迎,濑户口的业界再起和OVERDRIVE社的最终遗作的传奇色彩,我更愿意谈谈《MUSICUS!》对我的浅浅影响,也是很高兴能在开年收到这样一份珍贵的礼物。 男主对马馨是一名定时制(半日制)的高中生,原本就读于当地一所重点高中,却因某事退学转入了现在的学校,在这里他认识了金田、尾崎弥子和佐藤未来几个好友,也意外在小说大赛中获得二等奖,经由这个机会,男主也获得了采访知名乐队“风鸟花月”的机会,故事也由此正式开始。 以上内容是游戏前30min不到即可得知的内容,本着不剧透的原则就暂时点到为止,但是故事却不仅仅只是上述的那点,在跟寻乐队的过程中男主认识了主唱花井和他的妹妹,也见识到了音乐的动人魅力,可“风鸟花月”仍然是别人的乐队,故事也将在乐队和生活这两条双曲线中走向成熟。 可落实到我身上,我感到了和男主同样的人生迷茫,不仅仅在于我也是走向了一条被安排好的医学生之路,而且有着自己的爱好和兴趣,但是我从男主身上看到了我没有的东西,坚韧的品质和追寻自我心灵的勇气。仿佛在那不起眼的故事中,自己成了最闪耀的主角,不顾一切努力活在当下,看不见未来却仍专注地演奏着人生的主旋律,朝着梦想和未来不断前进。 我想《MUSICUS!》其实没有教会我什么,她只是给了我一种感觉,一种朝着生命飞翔的喜悦感和跨越困难的超越感,真的非常美妙,奏响音乐家们的呐喊!

This game is pretty good, following a rock band since its inception to whatever may await them. However, it's not perfect, and there are some points of contention: [b]The protag[/b] Kei Tsushima is a weird guy for certain. It's very hard to move him, but there are instances of this in the game. It's not like he's a full-on psycho either. He's in a weird zone. He also treats people with some degree of kindness (he ignores almost all of the stuff Kaneda does), but that isn't unheard of for a psycho. At any rate, we can safely say that his emotional intelligence isn't that good. The thing that makes him [spoiler]drop out of high school[/spoiler], putting him on a road to pursue rock and roll, is pretty cringe. Only in the true route there's something like an aftermath, and it's mostly handwaved. That he chose that route in high school goes to show how weird he is. It's not that bad that he is weird, but he hasn't a lot of presence. Also in addition to being weird, he's sometimes numb to things happening around him. Like the Kaori thing. [b]The bro[/b] Aww, Kaneda. The man would be a great bro if only he wasn't so pathetic in most of what he does. It's appalling that Kei includes him in the band despite being the weakest part. Do they really need two guitars? I don't know. It's true that Kaneda goes through some development. But most of the time he's a one-trick pony. Anything outrageous or appalling, you can guess it's gonna come from him. They doubled down too much on making him the comic relief. [b]The heroines[/b] Ozaki, the one with the ending which you should play first, is merely okay. She has a bit of backstory with his artist father. But most of it goes in one ear and out the other. At least, [spoiler]Kei chooses to be a respectable adult in this story. But that's not what we are here for, right?[/spoiler] Kosaka, Dr. Flower's bassist, is a strong contender for the dullest of the three. She doesn't project much of a personality. Both in her own route and in other stories, she contributes little apart from her killer playing. Not much of an interesting character. She even times out most of the time, sleeping on a corner, so that she doesn't have to be written at all. Of course, Mikazuki is special from the get-go, being an albino singer, and Hanai-san's (Kei's mentor and main influence in music) "hikikomori" sister. Apparently people go crazy about her looks so yes, she's something else. She has the most time to shine of the three, and even has double the amount of H scenes, lol. Not that you play this game for that... right? So, the balance between the heroines is thrown off, and they're not very interesting overall, but that may have been a conscious design choice. They're mostly there to carry the story, not to be memorable characters, and with an emphasis on being realistic (or trying). These games from the Overdrive brand are known for drama (like Kira Kira), and the drama in the true route is quite something, but it gets mostly forgotten as characters move on from it. The bad ending, however, is pretty interesting and I suggest you play it. Most of the time the choices don't point very clearly to where the story will go, so I'd suggest using a guide. [b]Overall[/b] I'd put it above Deardrops, but Kira Kira was fresher for me. They're all enjoyable and mostly comparable, but this is more serious than Deardrops (Kira Kira has its own heart-wrenching drama). The only gripe is that it lasts more than 40 hours, and it's tempting to use that time to play something else. Ideally you need an interest on rock and roll to play these games.
非常感动😭,旮旯给木太好玩了😭,旮旯给木占领世界😭,我可能一辈子都不会忘记musicus!了😭
[h1] 用音乐奏响人生之曲 [/h1] 《MUSICUS!》是由OVERDRIVE社开发的谢幕之作,这款以乐队和音乐为主题的Galgame作品不仅有着超高规格的配乐,还有着对音乐的深入探讨,对人生迷茫的探索,以及剧情上那对于未来和希望的塑造,可以说虽然游戏题材小众,但在剧情和音乐这两个方面绝对可以称得上是Galgame领域的神作! [h2] 游戏推荐指数:★★★★★★★★★★ [/h2] [h2] 音乐评分:★★★★★★★★★★ [/h2] [h2]剧情简介 [/h2] 男主对马馨出生于一个医生世家,本来着重于学业的他按照家长的安排追求学业,不过因为某件事退学了。现在的他正在上非全日制课程,晚上上课,而同班的其他同学与他不是同一个阶层,要么是因为家庭条件原因,不得不边打工边上学或者照顾家庭放弃本来的学业,比如尾琦弥子、佐藤未来;要么是因为想考文凭的成年人,比如村田龙一。男主在这个班级过得还不错,但对未来的人生还是有些迷茫。 休息日,他接到了一个名叫八木藤的男子的电话,他曾经看过男主在作文比赛中参选的文章,很是感动,期待他能为自己公司的乐队以外行人的视角写一篇报道,男主第一次接到正式工作。在晚宴上,他遇到了一位长相阴郁,性格古怪的男子,和他的对话给他留下了深刻的印象。结果第二天他发现这个男人竟然是他采访的对象“花鸟风乐”乐队的吉他手兼主唱——花井是清。在聊天过程中,是清却吐露处他对音乐的迷茫,他认为音乐就是骗局,这种巨大的矛盾让男主有些不知所措。在演出中,男主听到了乐队的歌曲,深深地被吸引了,甚至留下了泪水,这一刻他对音乐开始充满了向往。 几天后,他从是清那接到噩耗“花鸟风乐”乐队解散。男主久久不能释怀,甚至会劝说是清复活乐队,之后是清却语出惊人,他对男主说:“你愿不愿意代替我,奏响Rock”,男主答应了下来。去是清家里,发现了他的妹妹花井三日月,两人在是清的安排下努力学习音乐,结果在乐队即将出道之前,花井是清自杀了,男主学成后的第一次演唱竟然是在这个教导他音乐能力的前辈的追悼会上,他的吉他水平也得到了圈内人士的认同。 事情结束了,可能自身与音乐的关系就到此为之了吧,男主没想到与音乐的纠缠还会继续下去! [h2] 剧情设计和人物塑造 [/h2] 本作的剧情设计与四个女主线是互相交织的,所以我就放在一起谈了。剧情将音乐与人生交织在一起,通过每条女主线接触到每个人背后的家庭与压力。可以说这些搞乐队的人各有各的不幸,每条线里触痛她们的伤痕时会狠狠地刺痛我,本来以为会好好顺利发展,展望未来的时候,意外又会狠狠的撞痛我。游戏里的刀子很多,很会骗眼泪,尤其游戏的BGM非常精彩,配合这剧情的演出,真的是想不哭都难。 尾琦弥子是个善良坚强的女孩,如果是我的话我应该会选这条线,虽然三日月非常有魅力,但我估计我只想有一段灿烂的回忆,然后继续过安稳的生活。香坂轮则是个一心热爱音乐的女孩,因为对于她来说音乐就是她的全部,但她意外地很乐观,和男主的关系我认为也是把控的最好的一个,两个人的相伴与事业和爱好是共同存在的。来岛澄其实是很后期才出现的女主,这条线其实更多的讲述的是对马馨对音乐的迷茫与偏执,一个一无所有的音乐人最终的归宿。花井三日月,本作的真女主,身患白化病的她有着极高的音乐天赋,这也是她面临的困境,而且这条线也有着意外,还好最后的结局不错,不然我真的想寄刀片了! [h2]顶级的视听盛宴 [/h2] 游戏的画风有点像2015年前后番剧的风格,角色立绘可能有些一般,但是CG表现真的非常精致。本作又是一部音乐题材的Galgame,玩家可以在这里感受到各种乐器的演奏效果,感受到打动人心的歌曲。当演出、乐队、意外事件的精美CG搭配上游戏顶级的符合场景的BGM,可以说让我落泪了好几次,不得不承认,是清说过的“打动人心的是故事,不是音乐”,在我这里变成了“打动我的是故事,也是画面,更是音乐”! [h2]总结 [/h2] 《MUSICUS!》是业界很少见的音乐题材Galgame,游戏深度探讨了音乐和人生的哲理,顺便介绍了一些音乐圈的背景情况,非常现实。游戏里的每个人都背负着不轻松的过去,没有人的生活是完全幸福的,都各自有着自己的烦恼,尤其是音乐人面对人生和事业的困境时,所遇到的抉择更是困难很多,不过游戏也通过乐队和音乐向我们传达了如何乐观的面对困境。游戏目前没有汉化,推荐英语或者日语好的玩家可以尝试本作,另外本作的刀子有点多,请想玩的玩家自备纸巾,不说了,我先哭一会去了!

It's good.
能让尸体温暖到发光的杰作
[h2] This novel is EXTENSIVE. [/h2] Just to get it out of the way, this visual novel is [i] extremely [/i] fleshed out and [i] very [/i] long, which makes getting just one ending a real commitment (this is not a bad thing whatsoever, in fact, it helped the novel's impact). Also just an fyi, I'm primarily focused on the Mikazuki good/bad endings. That being said, I went into this vn expecting an equal balance of romance and music-themed plot. That was not the case at all. [h3] Surprisingly little romance, but it makes up for that. [/h3] Though the end contains a lot more of it, this game overall consists of very little romance, especially when compared to its length. This is coming from someone who really enjoys romance, though, so take that as you will. Despite that, I did enjoy the romance elements that were present toward the end of the game, and other than a personal gripe with how exactly one route ends**, the ending ended up being very impactful after having invested so much time into the vn. The entire rest of the plot (the band's music career, the character development, etc.) is also super detailed and fleshed out really well. Overall I really loved this game and it will definitely stick with me. [h1] 8/10 [/h1] **[spoiler]It's the way that Mikazuki and Kei don't actually end up getting engaged at the end, but still stay together. They do have a very good reason for that, but I just love a good romantic payoff so that left me a bit unsatisfied.[/spoiler]
