Salome's Kiss

I swear to god it's not just p*rn. OMG ITS SO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOOD

This was pretty good. But be warned, its quite dark. Ran fine, didn't have any performance issues.

This VN really hurt my feelings. Highly recommend it.

[spoiler] When the last scene dropped (if you have R18 patch) it felt so wrong and disgusting. Also the number of random variables that had to be satisfied in order for Genevieve's master plan to work is kind of meh. That being said I don't mind it as much as negative reviews do. [/spoiler] pretty fun and felt something

I don't usually go for dark stories, but the characters, writing, and art pulled me in quite quickly and kept my interest. I haven't gone through many of ebi-hime's VNs yet, but I did enjoy the few I have. Sometimes I think of myself a bit silly when I 'play' a kinetic (linear) visual novel without any choices; it's more akin to reading an actual novel or watching a show than playing a game, and I relatively rarely read books or watch shows. But I'm glad Salome's Kiss didn't have any choices. The story is powerful as it is, and it would've been weaker if you could make choices that resulted in a different outcome...

跟作者之前的作品黑莓甜心一样的毛病，只有女主的胸部大得离谱，其他女性角色的身材都很正常。我是不知道为什么作者一到英国维多利亚时代的故事就只把女主的立绘画得这么媚男，明明ta现代背景的百合游戏（The Fairy's Song，My Dear Prince，Rituals in the Dark，Dreamy Planet）的立绘都挺正常的。 不谈立绘，光看游戏名字我就是抱着一种警惕的心态去玩的，不清楚名字典故的请去了解一下莎乐美的故事和她的象征意义。有别于ebi-hime其他作品，这部的流程居然有8小时以上而不是以往的3小时左右的小品级作品。我不想太过剧透，我只能给出3个游玩建议，1是记得打steam商店上的免费补丁。2是谨慎站CP，大部分玩家会站错CP。3是不要轻信，玩的时候要有怀疑精神。我认为本作很有教育意义，最后忍不住再剧透一下，如果看过维多利亚三部曲可能玩的时候会更有感触吧。

Warning this is not a game or VN, its a story with pictures. No choices. Its a gotic love story with a surprising twist at the end. And despite what other reviews say, the twist is properly forshadowed, as long as you know what the term "Salome" refers to. My only critic towards the ending is that it invalidates the entire story before. Why listen to 10 hours of inner monolouge of the main character if it becomes ponitless at the end? It just comes to late, ther should have been a bit more after the twist, instead of just a reveal and then over. You need a long breath for this story, but it is still a good one.

Another great title from this developer. Lack of choices allows telling a well-structured, if a mite too long, story. Surprisingly many plot twists. A good read, overall. I enjoyed my time with it.

Back when I was younger, I wasn’t particularly pretty, nor was very confident. I was plain and stiff. Relationships never crossed my mind and the little time I thought about it, it was only with defeatism. When this girl came to my life she made me think I could be loved, adored and enjoyed, I thought maybe that I weren’t so plain after all. It was my first relation, I was not really brazen, but I wanted to do things right, I ended being a laughingstock, misery skidded from my eyes forlorn and puffy. I think it’s around this time I grew myself farther from the others, this girl tensed every of my interaction and to this day I’m scared of trusting others. People laughed it off, calling it a kid's mistake, but is it ? I feel like I’m still the plain old spinster that I was back in the ages. And I think I would still surrender my heart that easily to a pretty girl who does everything to gain it, because why would they do themselves the trouble of seducing me ? I’m worth no penny, I’ve got heaps and heaps of flaws, I just can’t see why a girl would want to play me. So it hurt even more to think that I was played. I felt Letitia, it brought me bad memories up, but unlike me, she won’t get these hackneyed phrases of :« There are plenty o’fish in the sea» She’ll hang, hanged for being played by a mischievously sly fox. Every inches of my body suffer. I would've done every single one of her choices.

Firstly this is a dark lesbian romance and as someone unfamiliar with the gothic romances it was indeed shocking. This ain't for the feint of heart so to speak. I enjoyed it and while the plot is held together by the protagonists own ineptitude it is still enjoyable. I adore Leticia and Jenny is a fun character. While the twist was unexpected it was foreshadowed relatively well
