No One But You

Excellent and funny game. although stressman. at times. . Should mention in description that this is a tragedy.

The games started as a kickstarter project, with a lot of promises which included voice acting, in the end the director abandoned the project and just gave an unfinished game. The game itself is just a headache for simple minded story and always changing perspective of the story without giving hint to the reader, even the price realese was as expensive as another well known titles of the same genere. Is sad that a game with good art was bad handeled for an awful writing and bad direction.

It's a nice little visual novel for anyone who wants to kill a few hours in their time. I mostly preferred the Yui route because I just love the Tsundere type of 2d girls and to describe how I felt about the journey for that route is rather simple. "It gave me a happy ending but left me a bit unsatisfied" I say "unsatisfied" to express my disappointment on having no more content left on Yui! Because I was entranced with the character and wanted to learn more about her, which is why I wanted to know what happens next after the "holding hands" scene but I just got hit with the fact that it's all over. Although the after story might change that but I think the after story for Yui might be included in the love scene patch? Because there was no indication if there is an after story after the first one (in the steam version). In conclusion, I had fun even though I was mostly attracted to the Yui path but I would still recommend this visual novel for anyone who wants a simple read and love "wacky" characters.

Competent seems the best word to describe this visual novel. It is neither the best nor the worst I have read, nor do I regret reading it. The story is a bit of a cauldron of cliches, with an amnesiac protagonist right off the bat and plot twists I saw coming from a mile away. Despite this, the story was still interesting and I finished all the routes. Some of the events are rather hard to believe, which significantly detracts from any pathos the writers have built up. When I stop reading to google 'can you really die by biting off your tongue?' it's not a good sign. (Apparently the answer is: yes, but very unlikely). Overall though the characters are good, with a decent attempt at creating complexity. The relationships between the characters seemed a but bizarre though - once the protagonist finds his love interest he seems not to care for any other of his former friends, leaving them to deal with their issues by themselves. [spoiler]Poor Megumi, it seems to be inferred, is murdered by her teacher if Hideaki opts for Shiro - and nobody seems to give a rat's backside[/spoiler] It left me with a bad taste in my mouth, particularly on the later routes where I'd already learned most of the character's backstories only to have to watch as Hideaki blithely ignores them, or worse. The choices are fairly straightforward, so there didn't seem to be any way of combining the routes so that going out with one girl didn't entail you being a total git to the others. The pacing feels a little odd in places, particularly with the rather pointless calender system which certainly only confused me. There are surely better ways to show the passing of time? The art is nice, which is all I can really say. Although some of the female sprites seem to lack casual clothes - Poor Shiro wears her school uniform all year round it seems, despite CGs showing that she owns a rather adorable blue dress. Overall, if you really like visual novels, then get on sale. There isn't really anything here which isn't done better somewhere else, but at the same time...it's not bad. Competent, as I say.

This game reminds me of Yume Miru Kusuri. It is a visual novel that deals with dark themes and if you don't make the right choices will end badly for your love interest... and possibly all of them, since without your input most of them will still be in their particular trouble. The only one not so much is Chinatsu, whose issue... well, you really can't help with that one... Anyway, the three other girls are Yui, who has suffered from bullying to an extent where she tries to be a loner. Shiro, who loves music, but whose father... is a bit of a dirtbag. And Megumi, who is dealing with the death of her sister... which she believes she may have caused while trying to save her from a pedophile... who is now free and stalking HER... There is also a failure route, if you don't manage to pursue any of the four girls... and it ends slightly badly... Do try it if you have the willpower and stomach for it. There is a more explicit version out there, and rumors of a patch that may or may not ever come to fruition...

I bought this game on sale solely because of Ryo and I wasn't disappointed. (Although there was still some room for improvement) Of course, I tried out all the other routes as well, and liked or disliked the other characters and their stories to varying degrees. Megumi was my least favorite character of all but the rest weren't bad. A decent game overall and worth a playthrough or two.

I bought this game a long time ago and has just recently started to play it. One of my first VN games. SPOILERS ALERT Pros: - Has some good plot twists. - Storyline is not too bad. - The visuals are quite nice compared to a lot of the sloppy visuals of other VN games in Steam. - Well, the devolopers are not homophobic. - Musics are soothing. Cons: - Sometimes, the story just goes on without explanation or development on other characters. All of the sudden, you are close to this character or know something about this character eventhough you never talked to her or him. Sometimes, that character just disappear after an arc without much proper explanation. - Well, if you are actually only looking for a VN with only girls' route, be careful not to go for a guy's route in this VN. - Stories are kinda short and some of those stories did seems a bit of a rush for me. - No character's audio - Soundtrack are not memorable at all. - Pretty sure some scenes are censored ( as expected from Steam) Conclusion: For me, it is worth the buck for my first step into VN games. I kinda feel that this game has been left to run on itself by the developers and no updates or whatsover to improve the game as there are tons of stuffs that can be done to improve the game. I would suggest get it on sale instead of the full price.

A fun game overall. I picked it up on-sale, and I'd say it was worth it. Decent story with some fun characters, and surprisingly gorgeous sound and visuals. Give it a shot!
