Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk

People said this was a good Otome, so I bought it when it was discounted and I still regretted it. I live in a central European old town, with some old buildings remaining, a castle and some old ugly town trauma. This game uses this setting as a backdrop and main-plot for the "drama", but ends up regurgitating other AAA Japanese Otome games with similar settings (who are also obsessed with something something "Mafia"-clan structures. I guess it's exotic or whatever). And as such it fails in any ways. It trips into all of the stereotypical pitfalls of these AAA Japanese Otome games we see on Steam. Triple incest. Bad logic when it comes to the plot. Needlessly convoluted. Obsessively melodramatic and miserable for the sake of being miserable. It's misery p0rn central. Has a semi-fixed main love interest despite being advertised as being able a choose from 5. So if you don't like platinum-blondie you're out of luck. Yandere visage fest and behavior for the sake of getting that checkmark. An annoying smartass kid character side-kick, plus pokemon.... er animal side-kick that makes annoying "cute" noises. Bad and stereotypical anime slapstick humor we have seen a 1000x times already. A heroine that starts out surprisingly decent, but gets torn to shred by the need of making her stupid and over-emotional when the writers need it. Exhaustively long without saying much. "Brevity is the soul of wit" was never heard by these devs. Did I mentioned incest? 3 out of the 5 love interests are blood related. 2 direct cousins and one uncle, who knew the heroine since she was in the belly of her mother. Just foul- It fails at being a drama, it fails at producing anything romantic, it fails at being a mystery. The "tragedy" comes without any relief or any shreds of conclusion. It's like a giant nothing-burger, that does nothing ground-breaking, new, artistic or thought provoking. If I come off a needlessly caustic and ranty, remember how much time it asks from you for so little in return ( mentioned in other negative reviews). It's extremely tedious and frustrating. And it doesn't help that all these over-hyped, praised to the sun AAA Japanese Otome games on steam are portrayed as the best thing ever. So people like me buy it in hopes to get a high production VN, but always get a blunt. This was the last AAA Otome game that I have bought. I'm tired. Actually good Japanese Otome games get barely ported nor translated. That and Japanese A or AA are picking up the slack (Yukar from the Abyss). If you like these AAA Japanese Otome games then you may, just may, like this game. If you are like me and bought some of them on Steam due to high positive user reviews from fellow visual novel players, then got disappointed when playing them, thinking to yourself that you have played much better Otome games for free from the international crowd (Ebon Light, Cinderella Phenomenon, Parfumare...) - then stay away. Edit: If you want a VN with old ugly town trauma, set in Europe with magic undertones, that knows how to not waste time to reach some max word-count, then play Along the Edge. If it isn't anime enough, then I can't help you. There is a whole world of non-anime style VNs out there that are amazing. You just knee-cap yourself if you can't stand anything not drawn in that style and not hearing Japanese VA work. If my last sentences confuse you, I lurked around long enough in the otome space to have heard this sentiment over and over again. No anime + no japanese VA = automatic bad/inferior product. Sure, individual taste matters, but when it's nothing but a very narrow interest then you are very limited in your choice of entertainment.

能否打开这个游戏看运气，报错我搜了一下是显存不足，但电脑不存在这个问题，其他游戏都能正常运行。好不容易打开也会玩到一半闪退。我搜了下不止我一个人有这个问题。

大量黑泥注意： 一开始还挺有意思的后面是咋了.......[spoiler] 乙女元素很少很迷惑我玩了这么久谁能告诉我灰鹰到底是不是男主。很诡异知道吗，因为两家子伦理大剧引起轩然大波一镇子人都完蛋了。弗朗西丝卡死的莫名其妙的，前面写的好正派后面突然又给反转了真的接受不能。伦理上来说难道灰鹰不是女主她舅吗？那是在吻甚...？那灰鹰的儿子伊凡和莱维不也多少和女主有血缘关系吗？在我已经有点喜欢灰鹰之后给我当头一棒，这是我最恨骨科的一次。[/spoiler]cg有时候真的很崩（休能不能别惦记那唇彩了）[spoiler] 官配哥是最难崩的，约见陪酒女的理由很搞笑，别人塞给他的？这游戏的人拢共没几个比他牛逼的谁敢给他塞人？那么假定确实如此不要太较真，没看清来人就美美吻上打了一巴掌竟然爱上了谁来解读一下子呢？共通塞接吻cg然后个人线潦草无比... [/spoiler]结局竟然都还那么草率...[spoiler] 所以那个双狼结局何意味？劝了莱维半天别杀人别冲动，莫名其妙魔石又取回来了，前面嘴炮了忏悔了全白瞎了，我没时间陪你们闹了。还有休这个强制乙女，突然一句请和这样的我恋爱吧我属实没绷住。灰鹰和休说要带女主走我都同意了，这群镇民让人0拯救欲望，结果老舅给女主弄个沉睡魔咒半死不活的抱着，休直接给弄成人外了，谈恋爱给我个人样好不小哥哥？谁来尊重一下？我也想让女主跑啊？以及中间那段女主扭曲的剧情我真的要不行了，她竟然还会怀疑鹰族兄妹抱一下是在搞骨科我已无力吐槽。[/spoiler]如果是冲女扮男装来的赶紧跑，和大家想象的酷姐应该不是一码事....看到有人说比黑蝶还烂那我觉得还是黑蝶更胜一筹。[spoiler] 最后HE那个包饺砸我真没绷住，这群人凭什么善终。 [/spoiler]最后的最后还我时间好吗

整体而言个人觉得是至今为止打过的所有乙游里面拥有最多正/侧/背面立绘/拆分还有cg的游戏，冲个史低欣赏一下美术是没什么问题，兔兔是真的可爱，我爱兔兔 对于全收集党还是比较友好的，基本上你完整玩下来不会有漏的地方，[spoiler] 地图的商店一定要记得买完啊！ [/spoiler] 有个比较大的bug是这游戏会闪退但也只遇见过两次，一次是第一次启动，[spoiler] 一次是大哥线（严重怀疑是电脑体会到本人对大哥线的无语）当然因为闪退所以流程图也没存上，得从大哥线开头重打 [/spoiler] 前期没什么大问题最多就是小地图收集和切来切去的变装打的有些疲倦，尤其是共通线占比将近全篇的百分之七八十，当然这个能不能接受比较因人而异，好处是它流程图都挺详细的有什么没过有什么过了相对来说都一眼能看得到 也有看人吐槽那个小正太人设和剧情，但确实也算前期比较劝退的点，就看接受不了的人能不能熬过去了 对剧情的无语>吐槽更多一些，以下基本上全是剧透 [spoiler] 感觉剧情整体就是高开低走虎头蛇尾，自姑姑表示她代替女主死掉以后还没让人伤心多久，真相就一坨一坨的全出来了，堪比养殖场养到最后发现家禽重量不够于是疯狂填鸭式增重 因为游戏整体基调其实没有明确意义上的HE，只能说是自甘活在幻想里面，但真没想到真相和后面的个人线真的给人看力竭了，比较主观的几句话总结就是《所有人获得了幸福，猜猜谁没有被邀请》和《孩子们还没逃离原生家庭的痛吗》还有《论原生家庭的痛如何影响两代人》，说的比较难听但其实真相概括下来大概就是《因祖宗辈导致父母辈留下来烂摊子，但现在这个局面是父母辈死的死死的死死的死所以需要孩子们来收拾，且孩子们也因原生家庭没好到哪去，于是一群扭曲的人缠缠绵绵获得“幸福”》 [/spoiler] 以下纯百分百个人纯主观吐槽 [spoiler] 说实话，就算报复应该报复到不归家的自家男人身上，报复到小姐妹身上算什么？ 大哥线剧情末尾还说他恨一辈子的父亲其实是爱过所有人的，女主去找他爸要说法但他爸表示现在说什么都为时已晚，所以说股票见涨你知道买了，汽车撞墙你知道拐了，人死了你知道悔了，那早干嘛去了？ 还有大哥线的解决方案看的人一愣一愣的，就，一切事情你们结个婚就解决了，那之前勤勤恳恳解决问题的行为和其它几条线算什么，算小丑吗？ 休线暂不评价因为真的看不懂，脑CPU在打完前三条线以后已经基本404了 [/spoiler] 综上所述，冲个史低就当买了本美术集，剧情仁者见智，实在不行它史低都这么便宜了你就让让它呢.jpg

推荐玩过前作黑蝶幻境的玩家游玩，里面出现的部分人物和前作有关联，同时剧情个人认为没有前作精彩，没玩过前作就不太推荐了。 主角是一名女扮男装的“魔女”，本身不对周围构成危害，但小镇的人们将“魔女”视为灾难的象征，如果被发现真实身份就会处死，因此主角不得不以男性身份生活。 和前作一样，有大量的小剧场，但这部小剧场有点过于多了，甚至感觉有点枯燥，如果少一点可能会更好。但全部看下来后，能让玩家对剧情有进一步了解。 总的来说，还是挺不错的，和前作比可能没那么好，但画风和音乐我个人还是比较喜欢的，故事中规中矩，不算太精彩也不算太坏，可以在通关前作后试一试。

개인적으로 플라토닉 러브 좋아해서, 나는 당도 괜찮았음. 서브 스토리 읽는 거 지루하긴 했는데 버틸만함. 메인 스토리도 그럭저럭 볼만하고 괜찮음. 근데 조금 아침 드라마 느낌이긴 함. 그리고 메인 캐릭터 밀어주기 있음. 나는 이게 좀 심하다고 느꼈음. 공통 루트에서 밀어주기가 좀 있어서, 메인 캐릭터 말고 다른 캐 개별 루트 들어가면 주인공이 이중 인격이 된 느낌? 그리고 주인공의 여자 추구 사상? 이 약간 구시대적임. 또 주인공 제외 여자 캐릭터 취급 별로임. 쓰다 보니까 욕밖에 안 쓴 것 같긴 한데 나름 재미있었음. 도전 과제도 다 깼고 세일 할 때 한번은 사보는 거 나쁘지 않을 것 같음. 그리고 망사랑, 찝찝한 엔딩 좋아하면 한번 해보는 걸 추천함. 개인적으로 나는 레비 엔딩이 제일 취향이었음.

好玩哟可以哦

It left a lot to be desired. Introduction was solid, middle was great and then the path leading to the end.......? Not quite masterfully executed. If you want depression, play Virche Evermore. If you want more fuwafuwa romance, literally play any other otome game. This is one that makes you yearn for something that will never meet expectations.

非常慢热的游戏，剧本没意思，牢中牢。把黑蝶幻境的毛病变本加厉了。流程里面大量踩地图的设计特别无聊而且麻烦，把我整红温了无数次想弃游。尤其是这个城镇记忆，那么多，一个一个点开，每个就三五句话，特别浪费时间。而且PC移植优化的不太好，鼠标经常点了反应很慢，不如L键好使。短剧情内容跟黑蝶差不多水平的无聊，导致前面十几个小时的内容都稀零琐碎，你能想象一个视觉小说看了十几个小时还没进主线吗？而且东一坨西一坨的支线剧情，你不进主线不跟角色培养感情，有几个人有耐心看他们拉家常的？这个节奏安排的太差劲了，能玩下去的人干什么都会成功的。到第四章第五章差不多才进正篇，刚燃了一会又感觉没意思了。另外女主的性格和一些言行我特别不喜欢。 很讽刺的是我这段时间一边在steam玩灰鹰一边用switch玩共生丘比特，我只能说菜是比出来的，灰鹰跟丘比特比起来简直太拉了。灰鹰玩起来特别坐牢，共生丘比特夜里玩到三点半还舍不得睡，只能说一般般吧
