Perfect Gold - Yuri Visual Novel

[h1]First impressions...[/h1] I will recommend this game as a quick and easy, very wholesome intro to Yuri/WLW visual novels. The story is cute, if not predictable, and the game art is cozy. I was left wishing for a bit more depth of story, as the plot felt redundant and downright corny a lot of the time. However, it was the game art that kept me going. The cutscenes were really lovely. Additionally, whoever did the voice acting for Audrey's character...please consider narrating audiobooks because goodness gracious what a lovely and soothing voice!

[h1]10/10[/h1] This yuri visual novel is genuinely so sweet. I found myself constantly on the verge of tearing up from how moving it was, and also wanting to scream because of how sweet everything is. If you’re still here reading reviews to decide whether to buy it—stop. Just buy it. [hr][/hr] Audrey and Marion are both incredibly lovely in their own ways. They try to navigate the differences in who they are and where they stand in life, each of them flawed, stubborn, and painfully sincere. That’s exactly what makes everything between them so complicated—and so real. As Simone says, [i]“Everyone is not impeccable. We can only try our best in our own flawed little ways.”[/i] And that really feels like the heart of this story. Audrey and Marion are exactly that—they try, carefully and imperfectly, to reach back to each other, to repair what was broken between them in their own flawed little ways. They argue, misunderstand each other, even hurt each other… but you can always feel how deeply they care underneath it all. The way they try to act like it doesn’t matter, while every accidental word and small gesture betrays the truth, is just painfully tender. Bittersweet in the best possible way. Even through all the tension, they still find their way back to each other—choosing honesty, choosing love, even when everything is messy. [hr][/hr] I also really loved Simone and Professor Beaufort. They’re calm, gentle presences who quietly guide the characters and genuinely shape their growth in meaningful ways. [hr][/hr] At its core, this game is about two girls growing emotionally—learning how to love, how to misunderstand, and how to still choose each other anyway. Honestly… it just stayed with me.

A short and extremely cute story. Loved it.

it made me cry worth it

制作非常精良的小甜饼，英配质量高，音乐不错，CG数量多还是全L2D，场景质量也高（除了感觉玛丽恩颜值忽高忽低的hhh，一下让我感觉哇好英气，一下感觉诶怎么画成这样 剧情虽然有点俗但是HE，对角色的心理描写也算能让人共情 想吐槽的就是中间用了大篇幅描写奥黛丽给家族绑架和自己个人意愿的冲突，结果玛丽恩一个Just Fight然后教授开解下，她就真的改了，后续也没聊家族的阻力之类的（虽然感觉自己有这想法应该是给国百害了，原生家庭这一块 Anyway故事还是非常甜的，要是能再长点，角色内心写细腻点就更好了

全流程4h左右，欧美风的小甜饼，全配音（质量一般），剧情虽然俗套但没什么雷点，角色的心里描写的也还可以，有点翻译腔，甜度不错 sd虽然能玩但体验不太好，你可能会遇到以下的问题 1.设置中设置中文后确定界面的窗口关不掉，重进游戏就会正常切换到中文但是会导致没声音，解决方法是设置的时候要看眼下面的声音再点确定然后重进 2.选项和名字以及ui的文字可能会消失不见，但是都能正常点击（我第一次进的时候全是正常的，不知奥为什么后面就都不显示了），不过对话之类的都是正常显示的，倒是没什么影响

个人最终综合评分：8.5/10 喜欢这部作品。玩了两次。 但由于没玩过英配的galgame且画风不算吸引我 所以第一次是下载的盗版，玩完之后就立刻在steam购入了。 我个人本身非常喜欢英配，但同时也较为挑剔。但我觉得这个配音不错，有不错的情绪表达和日常口语化表达，两位女主的口音略有区别。 我认为作为简单的英文广播剧和英语口语化学习都是一个不错的小素材。 有些不足的是感觉翻译稍微有些词不达意。 cg和live2d都很漂亮。主视角时的个人静态立绘也很优良。 背景音乐总体风格统一，切换自然，柔和温馨。 我第一次玩 两位主角视角切换 的作品，这很新鲜，可以同时了解双方那边发生的事，以及更多的人物心情，人物塑造也更加丰满了。 以倒叙的方式开场，有三条时间线来回穿插，可能部分玩家会有点混乱，但因为我看过很多有插叙的小说，所以还挺喜欢的，而且这样逐步揭开过往的叙事比较引人入胜。 全作有立绘的都是好人！ 两位主角的性格差异较大，但十分互补。有选项的单结局。剧情略显俗套，但细节很足，情节处理细腻，有爱情、亲情、师生情、个人成长。 比较可惜的是：一是没有关于西蒙妮和教授更多的故事。二是没有奥黛丽和家长关于职业与择偶的沟通，不过也不能这么快就叙述这些，至少要等奥黛丽本身拥有更多的治疗知识与更深一步的情感发展。但由于对奥黛丽母亲的塑造不多，所以我很难揣测她们的未来。 要是有续作就好了…想看到两位主角将来的故事。以及西蒙妮和教授的一些故事，我想看到更丰满的人物形象，更多的挣扎、痛苦与成长。 不过我相信在奥黛丽下定决心以后，她们的未来会是如同太阳花般温暖灿烂的结局。 暂时想到这儿，以后可能会有补充。

A very cute and well made VN, on the shorter side but the amazing vocal performances make it worth every penny.

The characters and environments in this game look amazing. This is a sweet and wholesome yuri game that's worth your time and money. Yuri is love, yuri is life. <3

This game gaved me the warmth I needed for my cold heart.
