Something To Write About: Unbroken: Book One

This AVN has a strong story, very well written characters and very good renders. You can't help but fall in love with the girls. The lack of music (as at the time of this review) is disappointing and I hope that the developers fix this issue in the future.

R8给我玩爽了，特地过来补个票，如果有官方中文就更好了，希望第二季快些上架steam，我也好支持作者

Consider a well-written story, amazing characters, well-made visuals, and, to wrap all up, the icing on the cake, an outstanding soundtrack to set the mood. Well... the latter isn't here, and it's as though something is missing, something vital to embrace you, inviting you to take a deep dive into it. Man, the lack of audio really makes a difference. It could easily be a masterpiece—10/10. Note: The dev made it clear that he had some PI issues. Observação para brasileiros/falantes de português: A tradução é péssima. Se pretende ingressar na história por esse motivo, esqueça! O jogo usa muitas gírias e expressões idiomáticas do inglês britânico e, se não forem traduzidas com cuidado, toda a nuance do dialogo é perdida. Além disso parece que a tradução nem foi revisada, no mínimo; pois há vários problemas de gênero e coerência, por exemplo. Se depender da tradução, eu não recomendaria essa AVN.

I recommend this game; good story with good artistry. I would play this again, it's been one of the better avn's that I have played.

I absolutely love the overarching story as well as the very deep background stories of each of the LI's. The scenes are great as well, however I'm more enamored with this style of storytelling where things unfold slowly. The only downside is the wait for book 2.

incredible game with rivetting story. very different and very much a true AVN.

There are good visual novels, and bad visual novels. This one is a great visual novel. It uses subtle motion cues to portray the internal dynamics of nuanced characters, each with their own hurts on the inside. Most of the time I end up speeding through boring bits, but this one had me riveted from start to end. It touched on a lot of themes I'm intimately familiar with - self esteem, guilt, trauma, loss, and the desperate desire to be a good person, even though you know you never will be. The characters are authentic, and each one I want to wrap my arms around and hug. I can't wait for the next installment of this series, genuinely.

Something To Write About: Unbroken (often abbreviated, which confused me at first) is a strong addition to the AVN space. Most notable for its story, which was so deep and emotional that I found myself wishing it wasn't an AVN so I could recommend it to family. Those looking for a lighthearted bit of fun will likely find this game too story dense and emotional. It's a solid all-rounder that sucked me in and provided an enjoyable experience. I believe I got 10-15 hours out of it, but had some metadata corruption that lost the proper count. That time unlocked about a third of gallery scenes for me. As this included the Love Interests I was most interested in and all of the story I did not feel compelled to do additional runs for the rest of the content. Note that while the game is completed, the story is NOT. This is book 1. The author was kind enough not to end on a significant cliffhanger. In my opinion anyway. But the game does end somewhat abruptly and without warning, which quite disappointed me. [b]Spice quantity: 7.5/10.[/b] The game certainly has spice, but is very story/dialogue driven and depending on how fast you read you may be going some time in between scenes. [b]Spice quality (animations, length, etc): 6/10.[/b] This is a tough one for me. On one hand, the still renders are very hot as are the characters. Scene writing is decent. But I found the animations to be notably lower quality graphically and somewhat choppy. A number of scenes also felt on the short side. [b]Spice variety: 4/10.[/b] Of the content I have unlocked, things are quite vanilla. That doesn't have to be a bad thing. [b]User experience (graphics, audio, UI, etc): 9/10.[/b] The game uses the standard menus and gallery system. I recall no significant issues with any functionality, typos, etc. Graphics are quite nice, with a few characters in particular being truly stunning. With the exception of animations as noted above. There were some unfortunate copywrite issues with the audio that I believe the author is working on. [b]Story quantity: 10/10.[/b] The story is truly where this game shines. Some players may find it on the dense side. I found it compelling and happily attacked the significant story. It did come out feeling on the short side, partially as a result of me binging it pretty hard. But at $13.99 on Steam at the time of this writing I believe the amount of content is appropriate and the game is well worth your money. [b]Story quality: 10/10.[/b] This story gripped me and took me for a ride. It explores trauma, recovery, and relationship. It offers thoughts and lessons that will stick with you after you've put the game away. It is genuinely brilliant and I can't recommend it enough.

[Part 7 : 24h] Early in the game, there were several technical weaknesses: limited emotional range during dialog, choppy scene animations, and parts with movement in the background where the dialog length didn't match. But as the game continued, these issues went away. I was left with great visuals, good emotional range during dialog, and scenes that didn't get choppy. One of the strengths of the game is the phenomenal asses. If you're an ass-man, this is a chef's kiss. Multiple times I just sat back and appreciated the ass in front of me with a big grin on my face. The story was good, mostly slice of life stuff mixed with a bit of life struggle. There was a cameo of a character from another game; I love it when I see that stuff. It makes me wonder how many of those easter eggs I've missed on my AVN journey. Scenes were ok. They got better as the game progressed, much like everything else. But they're not a strength of the title. I liked all of the girls. Ines was the prettiest, I think. I'm looking forward to the next one. The version I played didn't have much in the way of music or sound. I think the dev is working on replacing/adding it.

When will the second book be published? By the way, this game is something else, and I highly recommend it.
