Red Embrace

I didn't know that I needed this

Visual Novel très sympathique. J'ai fortement apprécié la route d'Isaac qui en plus d'être séduisant porte le même prénom que moi, hehe. La musique et les illustrations sont superbes, j'ai eu un peu du mal avec le sprits d'Ash et Dom autrement rien à redire. L'histoire est simple mais on s'y prend quand même. Pour le modeste prix, ça vaut bien le détour. Petit défaut: incapable d'obtenir les achievements. J'ai essayé et réessayé mais rien n'y fait. Je ne sais pas si cela est dû au fait que je sois sur mac mais rien de bien embêtant en toute honnêteté.

I loved Red Embrace Hollywood so I was excited to play this one. Unfortunately the choices felt too limited which made the story feel out of my control and too punishing. Honestly, I hardly did anything, certainly nothing radical, and then boom, bad ending. There wasn't enough substance to make any of it memorable.

The game is as good as I expected. I was willing to buy it after playing Your Dry Delight. It is a competent visual novel with nice art, interesting story and long enough for the price. Also it makes you want to have the bad and good ending with every character. Some negative things: There are some endings (also achievements) that you only can get with really precise choices. But these choices don't look to have the attitude that you first though. A rude response ends being a nice one, and a kind one could be interpreted as rude by the characters. So you have to guess or try several times.

You're in for the pictures, don't tell me differently. Anime fans will like some of the boys but that's about it. I am not a die hard anime fan and this is more Yaoi and BL than anything else. Your only goal is to get pinned by one of them (And you see nothing lol).

Definetly money well spent. The characters are quite handsome and interesting. Dominic being my personal favourite. The story pulled me in, even during secondary playthroughs. Although I do wish that the endings were done in a slightly more obvious/logical way. [spoiler] Without spoiling anything concrete, being nice to someone and having a really cute story going only to be given a bad ending because of 2 early game choices that don't impact the game/story at all feels quite awful if I'm honest. I guess the endings work with some point systems and if you don't have enough points you get a bad one? Regardless I think the bad endings here could be absent and it would still be a really cool little interractive short story. Or as I stated above, make it more obvious, such as being mean and so on.
