About


“Onii-chan, you really are a lonely person.”
“Did you lose faith in me?”
“No. I love you, onii-chan.”
Unable to bear the ugliness of the world and terrified of other people, the protagonist develops the ability to read minds.
He shuts himself away and submits a light novel he wrote, which unexpectedly wins a newcomer’s award. But the jealousy and envy that follow only deepen his distrust of the few human relationships he still has. Those around him hurt his fragile heart without even realizing it.
His only remaining comfort is his younger sister, who lives with him.
Clinging to each other just to stay alive, the two sink night after night into a twisted, unhealthy codependency.
―I keep living alone, talking about my own prejudices and cursing the world. Day after day.
I ripped off Dostoevsky, half-assed it into something modern, and turned it into a light-novels.
I mean, I tried. In my own stupid way.
Had the heroines talk about “existentialism” like it was supposed to mean something.
The gameplay is an old-school, straight-up classic visual novel. The text fills the entire screen, so read as much as you want—or just right-click to hide it and enjoy the art. That’s it. Read, click, and vibe.
Live through a gloomy, suffocating real world through an overly sensitive protagonist… then come home and savor the only happiness left in his life: the time he spends with his little sister, his one true comfort.
As the friction with the people around you keeps piling up, there’ll be moments when their petty thoughts make you feel actual murderous rage. And in those moments, you can use your mind-reading ability to drive them to suicide.
That snide bastard. That arrogant asshole. Hit them right where it hurts—right in the deep-seated insecurities they never want anyone to see—and take them out. It’s not like you’re killing them with your own hands, so you won’t get caught. The ones truly at fault are the tasteless, mindless conformists who do nothing but obey society without a shred of aesthetic sense.
…But is that really okay?
What is happiness, anyway?
And in the end—what kind of future will the protagonist and his sister walk into?

本作是一款优缺点鲜明的作品。 在此之前呢,我先说一下本作的缺点吧,仅代表个人观点,有点小犀利,是一个比较挑人的作品,就比如说,玩一个小时的时候,真的就是一大堆负能量,成为了情绪垃圾桶,本文就是纯纯真正的视觉小说,而且很习惯性地一下子全部都堆满了文字,而且文学性也很低,就仅仅纯粹作者沉浸于自己的世界里面,叙事过程很,,而且作为最重要的标题中的妹妹,其次才是他人和妄想症,一点作用都没有,妹妹的人物形象塑造得不是很好,感觉唯一的作用就是把妹控骗进去过来杀。说实话, 玩的过程中我真的感觉特别难受,我本来就是一个很容易抑郁的人,像主角这种人就不应该去折磨那种正常人,你懂吗?就应该去找那种有病的,然后互相折磨一辈子,那么本作除此之外也有很优点。 还是要对上电波,文案如果你能带入到男主的视角来说的话,那么观感会好一点,美术和音乐也很不错,例会以及美术特别好看。偏黑暗的,以及这种文案也给了正常人另一种新奇的角度来看待世界,本作也是一个多结局的,一共有三个结局。流程还可以,两个小时到3个多小时左右。 不是妹系题材的,如果对上电波,那么来体验一番,那还是很不错的.

если кратко, то это просто набор сцен ни о чем. ньярла-сенсей набрасывает так много вроде бы интересных идей, чтобы ничего не развить и слить в унитаз вообще всё. читаешь буквально блог автора с сайта разработчика, чтобы затем увидеть пару CG - и на этом ничего больше. может быть, вся новелла и была комментарием и социальным экспериментом. да, рисунки красивые, но в остальном - просто текст ради текста, чтобы затем внезапно навалить эджа. после NGO выглядит очень жалко. не то чтобы в NGO было что-то такое глубокое или типа того, но сам опыт был уникальным и запоминающимся, а это - что-то очень сырое и недоделанное.

liked the interactive feature to look into a person's mind, i thought it was a kinda cool and wished it could have been explored more in the game, but the game itself wasn't that long . overall an OK visual novel? but won't blow you away with anything special.
I actually really liked it! I was a little disappointed by NSO so I didn't have very high expectations, but I'm glad I picked this up. It's quite wordy, but the visuals are gorgeous and it kept me interested the whole way through even though it's mostly reading. I usually get bored quite quick of these types of VNs. The characters are interesting enough... not very boring but nothing that makes me want to know anything more about them. I did get kinda tired of the constant monologuing/back and forth with criticizing everyone and the self-awareness stuff from MC & Sahana. Not in a character analysis way, they're just tiring to deal with as MCs. He's like Hiyakawa to me, just annoying. I liked Dokudami. Sahana is cute, though I haven't seen much of her yet. I wish there were more imouto games that aren't incest and/or porn. The soundtrack is nice too. I'll make sure to dress up as a gentleman the next time I have a smoke :P
本着想看心理恐怖和可爱女主的心理,实际玩下来的话妹妹戏份太少,大部分是看阴暗男主读心发难杀人这一块,搭配上穿插的文青病元素食用还不错(亲切说是),至于最后的TE感觉莫名其妙(就很随便)
サクッと読めるサブカル文学がお好きならまあオススメ、 ただ露悪的な表現もあるのでそういうの苦手な方にはオススメできないかな
need more sister but it still good
[h1]有点难评[/h1] [h2] 推荐指数:★★★★★★★☆☆☆ [/h2] [quote]买肯定是要买的,玩肯定是不玩的 快来关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38222893/] G胖受害者鉴赏家[/url] 让选择游戏变得更加简单[/quote] 应该怎么说呢?从游戏性的角度出发来说的话,本作是一款相当具有个人素材的一款视觉小说游戏,但绝大部分内容都是伴随着强烈的负面情绪,以及压抑的文字描述来进行,光是这一点就很难想象到它究竟应该推荐给什么人。 首先,这个游戏真正想探讨的,并不是单纯意义上的“丧”,而是一种强烈的自我放纵,以及在这种放纵之下逐渐走向自我毁灭的过程。 先说说男主。他给我最直接的第一印象,便是相当常见的一类文艺青年:敏感、厌世、喜欢思考,同时又带着一种近乎刻意的疏离感。游戏里经常会出现大段大段的心理独白,他一会儿对这个感到讨厌,一会儿又对那个产生厌恶,仿佛周围的一切都在不断挑战他的忍耐极限。 这种表达方式其实并不算新鲜,甚至可以说是文学作品里相当常见的一种“文艺青年”塑造方式。他似乎总是在观察这个世界,又总是在试图从这个世界里抽离出来。他会评价别人虚伪、庸俗、无趣,也会对一些看似正常的日常事物产生强烈的反感。但某些地方他又会表现的如同世俗之人一般,例如在与女粉见面的时候,就产生了生物的本能反应,觉得对方漂亮,可爱,可是他的理智又在告诉他“别忘了自己的人设”,在这样的左脑与右脑反复拉扯之下,让我觉得他这个人又奇怪,又有趣。 他越是喜欢思考,越是喜欢分析,反而越容易陷入“妄想”之中。 接着是妹妹,漂亮,听话懂事却又怕人,最终成为了家里蹲,以及男主在这个世界上唯一的精神食量。时不时便会和回到家里的男主进行互动。不过在我实际体验下来,除了妹妹线以外的内容,她的角色定位比起“人物”更像是渲染“狂气氛围”所使用的工具,为的就是衬托这种强烈的反差。 再来是游戏体验方面,本作采用了一种类似于绘本式、或者说是插画式的画面演出风格,人物与场景被直接绘制进框中,文字覆盖在画面上,外围再配以框架,随着登场的角色,框外的画面也会展现出不同的风格用于对角色的定义暗示。这点我很喜欢,比起视觉小说,它让整体游戏在体验的过程中像是在翻阅一本带有大量文字的画册。 而在章节选择环节,我也十分喜欢,很明显能够看出其对于芥川龙之介《蜘蛛丝》致敬。一根蜘蛛丝从画面中央上方垂下,并以此作为分割线,将左右两侧分别对应男性角色与女性角色的剧情。更有意思的是,这些角色并没有以单纯的人物形象呈现,而是透过男主的视角,被赋予了猴子、虫子、蝙蝠、狐狸等不同的动物意象。 [h2]一些缺点[/h2] 从上述的描述中其实不难看出来,这类游戏比较挑人,如果你对文青感到厌烦,也很不喜欢大段大段的文字,那么也很大概率不会喜欢这个游戏。 而且游戏中的系统方面的内容,是最让我感到头大的地方。由于我不知道哪里可以存档,于是想说试试看有没有自动存档吧,结果就把游戏退了……结果就是一个小时的内容白打了。 [h2]总结[/h2] 本作是一部相当挑人的视觉小说。它不断将玩家拖入男主压抑、扭曲且逐渐失控的精神世界。独特的绘本式演出和充满文学意味的设计确实让我眼前一亮,但大量负面情绪与冗长的文字也注定它不适合所有人。它或许算不上多么优秀,却绝对是一部很有个人特色的作品。如果你恰好喜欢这种阴郁、文艺且带着自我毁灭倾向的作品,那么游戏中有着大量的文学家内容也足以让你感到熟悉。 [quote] [h3] 优点 [/h3] +不错的视觉小说 +压抑的文字描写 +陀思妥耶夫斯基 [h3] 缺点 [/h3] -负面情绪过多 -游戏受众比较电波 加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/GgamePlayer] G胖受害者鉴赏组[/url] 和鉴赏员一起战斗!爽! [/quote]
简评:入坑这类游戏不深,没吃过石的,完全没有得过精神病的人可以游玩 这游戏全程手动存档,做选择时无法存档,ctrl键最好别摁到底 冲着妹妹去的别想了,妹妹的戏份和其他角色持平(也就CG够量了) 3个结局:一周目所有角色都死了(妄想症结局) 二周目可以救基友(他人结局),或者跟妹妹(妹妹结具)(真结局) 男主得了文青病硬说是精神病,内心独白越看越觉得头晕不适 文本的猎奇程度不亚于“欢喜:明末大嫖客”,原生家庭+性+识人术这一块 开头:一来就是大招也是nb 人物塑造:能感觉到角色们都是人类 关于妄想症的描写:给妄想症去掉了也不影响主要剧情 总之游玩下来令我感到气愤
Not horrible but it lacked a lot of depth, if you love nyalras other works you'll enjoy it but if you're looking for anything deeper than a papercut regarding mental disorders and modern society I wouldn't recommend this VN. Double down on the BL bait next time!
