On Air Island : Survival Chat

일단 스토리랑 캐릭터들이 매력있는 것 같음. 라이브 방송이라는 컨셉이라 채팅창이 나오거나 도네이션과 후원 같은 걸로 스토리가 진행되는 것도 꽤 신박하다고 느낌. 캐릭터 선택창? 같은거 있는걸로 봐서 앞으로 다른 캐릭터들 스토리도 나올 것 같아서 뭔가 기대됨.

It's an alright game. I understand translation takes a lot of time and effort, but there are so many mistakes with spelling or pronouns or accidentally mashing words together that it sometimes makes it really difficult to follow conversations. The animations are cute, and the 'live stream' style is fun. The characters are interesting and it does take some time and practice to get all the endings. It's a shame that only one character is available upon purchase, it would have been nice for at least two at base game. Curious when/if the DLC will ever come out. Over all not bad for a $12 price, not amazing, but not terrible. 5/10 rating for me.

不穏な作品が好きなはぜひ レビューの少ないゲームでしたが非常に面白かったです。もっと多くの人に知られてほしい作品。 全ルート、全選択肢、サブクエ回収しました。 [h3]概要[/h3] デスゲームや推理ものではなく、モンスターのいる島から脱出するというパニック系ホラー。プレイヤーは主人公の配信を見ている視聴者でコメント欄形式の選択肢を通じて主人公の行動を決めていくというもの [h3]エンディングについて[/h3] EDは全16種類＋バッドエンドで計40種 文章量的には15時間もあれば全ルート回収できそうなボリューム(私は翻訳を使用していたため時間がかかっていますが) 周回面もサポートされており進捗を見ながらストーリーを進められ攻略サイトを使わなくても全ルート回収可能 [h3]良かった点[/h3] ・イラストが可愛くスチルが豊富。Live2Dで立ち絵に動きがある ・キャラが魅力的。各キャラが個性的なことや、少しNL、BLっぽい要素があったりとキャラ同士の絡みも良かった ・:選択肢次第でストーリーの結末が大きく変わってくるためどのルートも新鮮で面白い [h3]良くなかった点[/h3] ・選択肢を選ぶにはアイテム必須。アイテムが足りないとスムーズに進められない。 ・ストーリーにいくつか謎が残ったまま。 [h3]その他[/h3] スマホアプリ版で読める一部サブストーリーがsteam版では未実装(アプリでは今も読めました) 主人公以外のキャラがDLC表示だが現状未実装。公式に動きがないためDLCや日本語版は期待薄 SNSをテーマにした作風、謎めいた雰囲気、予測できない展開が非常に良かったです。引き込まれる作品でした。DLCと日本語版のリリース待っています！

루트가 생각보다 길고 선택지도 무엇을 중점으로 두는지 모르겠어서 지루함이 큰 듯 합니다 많은 이야기를 넣으려고 하신 것 같은데 오히려 그게 마이너스 요소가 된 것 같습니다 그리고 스팀보다 모바일로 플레이하는것이 더 어올립니다 그러므로 스팀에서는 추천하지않습니다

真的非常喜欢！！求求了后续QAQ！！！！真的好多谜题没有解开TAT！我太好奇他们了！！真的非常带劲的游戏！！！！我喜欢这个游戏！！

I love this game, but I wish I could improve the game interface.

비주얼 노벨 게임이지만 생방송이라는 컨셉이랑 미스터리를 가져간 게임이라는거에 새로운 느낌이 들어서 좋았음 그리고 선택지에 따라 엔딩이 다르다는 점도 좋았음 다만, 처음 시작했을 1차때는 내가 선택한 느낌대로 가고 엔딩을 보기에는 재화가 살짝 부족 (그렇다고 재화가 완전 부족한 건 아님, 다회차 할수록 재화가 쌓이고 기존에 썼던 대화는 재화가 더 필요 X) 캐릭터도 다 개성있어서 좋았음

엔딩이 16개 있고, 스토리 라인도 괜찮습니다. 후원 할 수 있는 비용을 잘 쓴다면 부족함 없이 진행이 됩니다. 캐릭터들마다 각자의 개성이 뚜렷합니다. 엔딩 하나 보고 다시 처음부터 진행 안해도 됩니다. 분기별 진행이 가능합니다. 엔딩이 다르긴 하나 비슷한 느낌의 엔딩이 많아서 좀 아쉽긴 합니다. ;ㅁ; 그래도 스토리 자체가 재밌습니다!

On Air Island : Survival Chat is a narrative-focused survival drama that frames its entire experience around the unsettling idea of entertainment shaped by audience influence. Developed and published by Storytaco, it presents itself as a hybrid between a visual novel and a simulated live broadcast, where the player does not directly control events in a traditional sense, but instead participates as a viewer whose decisions subtly—or sometimes dramatically—alter the course of the story. This perspective is what gives the game its distinct identity, turning passive observation into something far more involved. The premise centers on a group of contestants stranded on an isolated island as part of a televised survival program. At first, the setup feels familiar, leaning into the tropes of competitive reality shows, where participants must cooperate, compete, and endure harsh conditions. However, as the narrative unfolds, the tone gradually darkens. The situation becomes more dangerous, secrets begin to surface, and the sense that something is fundamentally wrong with the show grows stronger. This shift from structured competition to unpredictable survival is handled effectively, creating a steady buildup of tension that keeps the story engaging. What makes the experience stand out is the way it incorporates player interaction into this narrative framework. Rather than guiding a single character directly, you influence events through choices that resemble audience participation—selecting options, offering support, and shaping outcomes from a distance. This creates an unusual dynamic where you are both detached and implicated, watching events unfold while also bearing responsibility for them. The system is simple in execution, but conceptually strong, as it reinforces the game’s underlying theme about the role of spectators in shaping entertainment and, by extension, the lives of those involved. The gameplay itself remains rooted in visual novel conventions, with a strong emphasis on dialogue and decision-making. Choices branch the story into multiple paths, leading to different outcomes depending on how you interact with the characters and situations. While the mechanics are not complex, the narrative gives these decisions weight, particularly when they affect the survival or fate of specific characters. The game encourages replayability by offering alternative routes and endings, though the core structure remains consistent enough that repeated playthroughs may feel familiar. Character writing plays a significant role in maintaining engagement. Each contestant is given a distinct personality, and their interactions evolve as the situation on the island becomes more unstable. Relationships shift, alliances form and break, and individual motivations become clearer over time. While not every character receives equal depth, the overall cast provides enough variety to keep the narrative dynamic. The strength of these interactions is what carries much of the experience, especially during slower segments where the focus is on dialogue rather than action. Visually, the game adopts a stylized, character-centric presentation that emphasizes portraits and expressive artwork. The island setting serves as a backdrop rather than a fully realized environment, which keeps the focus on the characters and their interactions. This approach works well within the visual novel format, though it limits the sense of immersion in the broader world. The audio design is subtle, with background music that supports the shifting tone without drawing attention away from the narrative. One of the more notable aspects of the game is its tonal range. It moves between suspense, drama, and occasional moments of dark humor, creating an experience that rarely feels static. This variety helps maintain interest, though the transitions can sometimes feel abrupt. Still, the unpredictability contributes to the overall atmosphere, reinforcing the idea that the situation is constantly evolving and rarely under control. The game’s main limitation lies in its mechanical simplicity. While the audience interaction concept is intriguing, it does not develop significantly over time, and the gameplay remains largely unchanged from beginning to end. The reliance on dialogue-heavy progression can also affect pacing, particularly in sections where exposition slows the narrative. For players seeking deeper systems or more active gameplay, this may feel limiting. Despite these shortcomings, On Air Island : Survival Chat succeeds in delivering a distinctive narrative experience that stands out within its genre. Its strength lies in how it frames player involvement, turning the act of making choices into a reflection of participation in a larger, morally ambiguous system. It may not fully realize all of its ideas, but it offers enough originality and tension to leave a lasting impression. In the end, it is best approached as a story-driven experience with experimental elements rather than a mechanically complex game. For players who enjoy branching narratives, character-focused storytelling, and a darker thematic edge, it provides a compelling and thought-provoking journey, even if its gameplay remains relatively simple. Rating: 6/10

Still waiting on the dlc for all the rest of the characters, I'll buy it whenever it eventually comes out.
