Repurpose

越玩越无语，我很少给游戏打差评，没想到今年结束前终究出现了看完高血压的东西。严谨起见，提前声明一下，下面的描述均针对Ramón线的问题展开。 完全是在浪费很多原本可以很有意思的世界观设定。剧情比白开水还要寡淡无味，肤浅、草率，让人缺乏兴趣不说，更严重的问题是令人感到缺乏尊重。作者似乎认为在游戏里只要给出了足够多样化的性别和身份认同选择（补充：甚至不能自选主控的性取向，怎么，难道这一点又不重要了？）已经完全实现了“尊重”二字，但真正的尊重不是一个标签，也不是作者非常刻意地强加给角色唐突输出的某种大道理，它应该体现在故事情节里某个落实在具体情境下的人际互动之中，而Ramón线的剧情越往后越是一场彻头彻尾的灾难。 文案在对于地狱的剧情塑造中，似乎很想彰显这里的“自由开放”，但与此同时又想保持一种绝对的“道德高地”，在此之上还特别想证明自己的幽默感，时不时加点讽刺段子来“让气氛轻松一下”。其结果是处处矛盾，处处令人匪夷所思。时不时标榜着地狱的“自由，开放，同时也有正义的秩序”，与此同时想达成he的选项里却不该在初见分别时选答应去Ramón的屋子做客，这似乎是在传达一种“take things slow”的保守观念；如果真是这样的话，我请问为什么会有一个毫无必要也对剧情推进毫无影响的，可以选择是否观看某位仅有一面之缘的生理女性角色胸口“风景”的桥段？难道主控是顺性别女性的情况下，盯着别人胸脯看个没完就不冒犯了，因为被看的生理女性的观念相比于因为乱七八糟的心理原因“表面轻浮实则保守”的Ramón更开放？我当年骂某些剧本喜欢“打着充满教育意味的幌子让某些人自以为理解了点什么”，那人家至少还知道对于出现的现象软绵绵讽刺两句；现在这部更过分，文案根本意识不到剧情设计出现了任何问题，在最该讽刺的地方让主控乐在其中，搞不好还认为自己这剧本挺超前跟平等的。 事实上你如果抛弃这些什么道德的条条框框完全开放，那也不是不行啊，开放彻底一点，[b]公平一点[/b]，都打了Ramón的线路了怎么不能早点进入滚床单正题而且获得一个he呢？什么，你说他有心理问题，那关我什么事？他自己都能开脱衣舞俱乐部兼心理咨询会所了，不懂给自己去治一下？怎么Ramón的油就比别人难揩，只有Ramón的心理问题必须被关怀？我甚至都还没提剧情对角色的塑造是如何与介绍角色时提及的性格tag完全货不对板。 相应地，在俱乐部那场拙劣的（我都不好意思使用“致敬”来描述）仿造逆转裁判的辩论里，根据指南，我看到似乎应该存在Shove my face into Ramón’s chest/ Shove Ramón’s face into my chest两种选项，在主控选择为顺性别女性的情况下，我只看到了后一种选项。为了印证我的猜测，换了顺性别男性的档后我重新玩了一遍，变成了只出现前一种选项。也许我应该再试一下trans的，但是我真的没有那么多时间想浪费在这件事上——结论已经有了。在一个标榜着多元与平等的语境下，实则暗戳戳进行着最不平等的选项设计，不是吗？在据说是攻略顺性别男性的单线里花了足足有四个选项的相关篇幅，基本都在竭尽全力的聚焦于该顺性别男性以外的其他人物的胸部相关话题与描述（让他沦为被描述位的方法是玩家是顺性别男性），文案该不会是觉得这是一种很幽默的剧情推进方式吧？ 顺便，在我重开了顺性别男性的档印证的时候，注意到了一如既往存在的、不因性别选择而改变的前期共通线里的一个代表性的冒犯选项，建议一位也就见了第二回面的transwoman去给另一个人blow job，诸如此类的冒犯性选项设计绝对不是个例。真的秉持这种观念的人不会理会文案居高临下的“说教”，认为这完全离谱的人毫无选择它的必要，那么这种设计就是为了恶心人而恶心人，除了满足于文案的自我陶醉外毫无意义。 我不懂文案想要面向什么样的受众，根本也没提供自由选择取向的选项，是想默认大家都能玩吗？那我想说，取向为男的群体根本没道理要被迫观赏这种无端强加进来的糟糕剧情，取向为女的群体完全没必要跑到一个攻略男性的路线里来看生理女性带来的“福利”画面。如果文案认为该剧情面向的是自己心目中的泛性恋群体，那么这种剧情设计完全属于一种对该群体极度自以为是的脑补揣测乃至侮辱。文案在自己剧本构建水平已经如此抱歉的前提下，就更不要再通过无尽的玩烂梗和嘲讽处处彰显自己的ego了，对大家都好。 懒得列举更多了，就这样吧。不推荐。

this game has noel in it. 1000/10. jokes aside, this game is genuinely a masterpiece and is all i could ever want in a visual novel. the character designs are adorable, the partial voice acting is great, and it's just the right mix of angsty and sweet. it's amazing. i would die for noel [strike] but i don't think he'd want that. [/strike] thank you for reading.

i want Ramon.

godzilla lmaooo 😭 and ok gotta admit lucifer does add bonus points but… i dont think ive played a VN in the last decade, so maybe my opinion isnt well formed? but this felt very “i have great lore to tell” (it was an interesting spin) and the impact of mc was minimal, as in i couldve watched this as an animated video for the story rather than click through it. and you don’t exactly have as much choice as you think too especially if you wish you could break off a rship due to…. reasons 😔 anyway, i got this in a bundle so im very proud of the author’s values as show in their development and their participation <3

After playing through the entire game and achieving all the good endings, I think it’s time for me to write a review. Let’s start with the story. (Disclaimer: To avoid spoilers, I will only share my general impressions and won’t discuss specific characters.) First of all, I really enjoyed the routes, especially since you could choose whether to pursue a romantic relationship with a character or just remain friends. The story was engaging for every character, and it felt like your choices genuinely mattered rather than you just being pulled along, as if watching a movie. The choices resonated with me because none of them felt overly dramatic or unrealistic in how they affected the characters. The characters are among my favorites across all the dating sims I’ve played. You can tell that each character was created with care, as none of them felt lackluster—not even the side characters, which truly impressed me. Managing such a large cast and giving each character depth couldn’t have been easy I imagine. Additionally, with such a diverse cast, I feel like there’s someone for everyone to connect with, especially regarding the characters’ sexualities. The art style was another highlight for me, especially the CGs. In my opinion, the price tag is justified. It’s not too high, and you truly get your money’s worth. This game is also an excellent starting point for anyone new to visual novels or dating sims, as it clearly indicates whether your choices affect the characters’ affection or not. The voice acting was also surprisingly good for an indie studio. You could really hear the emotions of the characters, which added to the overall experience. To summarize, I really liked the game, and it’s easily one of my favorites. It offers great replayability for those who want to explore every ending, and I highly recommend it—even for someone who has never played a visual novel or dating sim before (as I mentioned earlier). I also look forward to any future games from this studio, if there will be any. (PS: Sorry if my English was bad at times, as it’s not my native language and I don’t write reviews often.)

The idea itself really interesting, but good idea is not enough.Story mostly boring, characters while fun simply unappealing. There is literately NO any emotional involvement in the story, there are a lot of worse stories, with better involvement. Noel was most interesting in the bunch, but still narrative is unrewarding and cut short. There no development of the MC, feels like choice "interactivity" is like last minute added addition. And if I wanted to read a story I'll buy a book, not a game.

隔壁十块钱入的，所以就这个价格而言我是觉得物超所值的 而且Noel很可爱，所以我会给个好评 首先说画风我很喜欢，而且立绘差分和cg也不少，甚至有配音！给整个游戏流程加分太多，可以说这些是我留下继续玩的很大原因 看得出来很用心 但我还是会说不太推荐，我目前推了有一半的角色线了吧，如果要完全理清整个故事，就要把所有角色的线都推完，每个人的角度都略有不同 这说着挺有趣的，但同样导致有很多重复剧情，我玩到现在其实已经有点不耐烦了，我知道会发生什么，但同样的剧情出现在另一条线里我就要再看一遍，只有微小的差别还不能跳过！ 确实有我比较喜欢的地方，虽然充斥了见怪不怪的致死量对政治的隐喻和对小众群体和多元化的思考，但有关或个人或大众的烦恼写的挺好的，比如rosita个线对平庸的思考 可是！依旧有很多我觉得没什么必要的剧情，比如mc让其他角色给别人嗦●，这种选项很多，如果容易对这种言论不适可以直接跳过别玩 还要槽一句Ramon那条线，大部分时间都是mc和其他配角争论有关女性胸部的问题，此恶魔本人居然在挺长一段剧情里0存在感，我宁可把这段剧情换成更多的和他女儿互动的剧情，而不是讨论胸部 顺着这点还要提一句，虽然这个游戏整体是有个主线的，但有的角色在其中牵扯的不深，所以跟mc互动剧情就更多，而类似dj那种承接了比较重要的剧情点的角色，mc就是纯摄像头，有没有都一样 连着玩时不时会有种深一脚浅一脚的混乱感 暂时先这样，我可能其他线都推完之后再补充吧，总之我处于想安利又觉得不适合安利之间

REALLY fun and entertaining throughout the entire run, no matter how many times you replay; there's always something crazy and new that you never expect, and it always somehow manages to surprise me again & again (in the best way) with the kind of things that happen. /especially/ later on in the story. at one point i was ranting to my poor friends, liveblogging the mind-boggling turn of events that were happening like it was a roller coaster ride. That being said, there's a lot of inconsistencies story-wise, but it doesn't super matter because the game itself isn't very serious to begin with. It's silly, it's playful, and it's free. It will break the fourth wall with ease and make tons of references and all the nods, winks and nudges that makes it impossible to pretend like it's a mature piece of literature, or anything. All the loopholes, and nonsensical writing and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is part of what makes the whole thing so fun. The humor is a bit absurdist at times, so if that's not something you find enjoyable you probably wont have fun with this one, because it is /fuuull/ of the stuff. Even when it does get a little bit more "serious" in the later half of the story, its still dramatic and unbelievable and silly to its core. ...Speaking of fourth-wall breakers. DJ Roadkill is the one to do this the most. i (very personally) think roadkill is the most unlikable, and annoying character by far. For every single part of their personality and demeanor. Their writing is definitely the worst and most strong-armed, with the least amount of genuine thought put into it. I can't really tell exactly what feels so /wrong/ about dj but something just aint right; enough for me to go out of my way to try and ignore them as much as i can. sorry roadkill 💔 And unfortunately, the voice actor for roadkill does very well at awakening the Annoying Sibling Antics sleeper agent in me that makes me fully "UGH" and shut down at every little thing they say. They captured the casual, immature and inexperienced tone of voice, seemingly without trying at all, and that is perhaps what makes them the perfect VA for the dj. I don't think anyone else could really get across this (maybe unintentional? but still charming .... in a way?). So kudos to Kim Gasiciel, you truly brought the dj to life and created variety for my play time. BUT Sooo many of the other characters (even non LI's) are very interesting and likable, so much so; it makes me wish i could be with multiple of them at once (looking at noel, faye & cheri💗). Also hordes is pretty fun. byfar my favorite platonic route was with Rosita. She is just the best written, hands down. Every single line with her felt real, and personal, and i felt connected to her as a person. Her and Noel also have the best voice acting roles and there is no competition in that regard. props to John Patneaude and Josey Porras respectively for their honestly stellar performances (that literally made me look forward to replaying their routes without skipping their dialogue just because of how good it was to listen to). Overall very, very fun, one of the most enjoyable VN's i've had the pleasure of experiencing, even with all its flaws. I will never forget how many times this one made me laugh or smile or gasp. 7.5/10 💗💗💗 P.S. (spoilers for the end of one of the routes kinda) [spoiler]PLEAAASE give me a DLC where we can go fishing with Archangel. I want to hang out with him so badly. I want to do father-child bonding with Archangel. Let me play catch with him and watch the Big Game together pleeeeaaaaseeee[spoiler] 🙏

Sadly not for me.

Found it while randomly scrolling through itch.io games, played demo and it was worth it my money :3. Soundtrack also is amazing I love it edit: the LOOOOORE omg I love it more now
