About

The story unfolds from the perspectives of two women: one who travels through the ruins of a steampunk New York City, destroyed in an unexplained disaster some years before; and one who finds herself in an underground world with a purple sky, where the "vanished" city still stands.

You primarily follow Lily, a girl devoid of memories who sets off through the bizarrely transformed version of New York that lies deep underground. Determined to reach something hidden in the violet sky above, you travel through this dangerous world accompanied by an enigmatic young man known as A. In the course of your long and difficult journey, you'll meet many of the city's inhabitants, and fend off the attacks of strange and terrifying monsters.
What lies at the end of your path? How are you connected to the woman exploring the ruins on the surface? And why was New York destroyed? Your journey will unravel these mysteries and many more...

Enjoy a deep storyline full of action, mystery, and dramatic encounters in this 30+ hour tale written by Hikaru Sakurai, the author of the Fate/Prototype novel series, Satsuriku no Matrix Edge, as well as Fate/Samurai Remnant, and more.
The great tragedy that befell New York City has transformed the residents as well as the ruined city they now live in. The many strong personalities Lily will encounter on her travels have suffered and been altered by the disaster in their own ways, yet still they strive towards their own goals. Some may aid you, some may oppose your journey, and others will teach you valuable lessons along the way.
Immerse yourself in a world full of strange and esoteric steampunk devices fueled by eldritch science and invented by the geniuses of history tapping into things from beyond that were never meant to be understood.

Went in expecting steampunk New York, ended up experiencing Alice in Wonderland meets Nyarlathotep.
补票,小游戏最不难受的一次(勉强)…… 蒸汽朋克系列最“古典”四作的收官作,可以说是整体最为成熟的一部。 其中多个情节十分有亮点,而最终boss的表现,散发的气质意外又惊艳。 不过相比漆黑和白光,故事主线贯穿推进没那么强,单元剧的占比又提高了。 虽然个人还是更喜欢漆黑,但客观上紫影的体验确实是更为顺滑一些。 感叹,在当时,樱井光的才气与优势,以及风格的劣势都表现得淋漓尽致。
[h2] 紫影的索纳尼尔~何等美好的记忆~ [/h2] 《紫影的索纳尼尔》(日文:紫影のソナーニル[1]~What a beautiful memories~)由Liar-soft社在2010年11月26日开发并发售,作为一款恋爱文字冒险游戏,主打蒸汽朋克类型的世界观,这部是非常经典的好作品(只是感觉比较冷门),游戏在PSP和Xbox360都有发行,如今steam上发售,补票的玩家还是非常多的。 [h2] 游戏介绍 [/h2] 游戏是多线进程的,在20 世纪初1907 年,在一个与我们发展科技文明不同的时代,充斥着蒸汽朋克文明的气息,而蒸汽朋克带来的烟雾带走了蓝天,有一个地方常年灰蒙蒙(纽约),天是最黑的地方(星之梦的核冬天既视感),一名丧失记忆的少女莉莉(リリィ)在废墟的地下中与少年A前行曼哈顿寻找紫色的天空,同时在另一边,在地上的艾丽西亚(エリシア)同样在艰难的前行,虽然她们都不知道原因,不知道那里有什么,但,曼哈顿,紫色天空的尽头。 游戏中是有R18元素,虽然该元素比较丰富且吸引人,但我觉得这也不足以掩盖紫影精彩的剧情、细腻的感情处理,以及天马行空的想象,游戏角色形象鲜明,少年A对生活不能自理的失忆少女莉莉细腻的生活照顾和非常甜腻的对话就足以让玩家嘴角微微上翘,同时绝妙的音乐氛围营造,无论是在感情处理还是场景融合都能让玩家感同身受,多线叙事结构在两条故事线在最后贯通在一起后,完成了对自我的认知,反驳了敌人无意义”的观点——只要它真实存在过,进入某人的记忆,它就是有意义的。 [h2] 结语 [/h2] 哪怕以现在的眼光去看待,优秀的游戏都能跨时代得到认可,游戏的文本更像的吟游诗人在歌颂英雄故事那般宏伟,或许可能会有人争议于“乙女”,但归根结底要更加的“少女”。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
What a beautiful, thought provoking masterpiece
This is like experiencing a picture book. This is my first encounter with Liar-soft. I did not expect the full narration, including thoughts. Having voiced MCs is quite rare when taking into account the VNs I've read until now, so that was quite a pleasant experience. Some voices may seem monotone, but it makes sense when taking into account who the characters are, and what they feel. The whole game is gorgeous, no matter what is presented. The dull, grey landscapes? Still beautiful and invoking a melancholic feeling. The colorful, picturesque places? They felt like a dream. The story overall is not too complicated and it surely relies on the characters. And I did end up enjoying them, which further enhanced my experience of the game. I had no idea what is going on in the beginning, and it is specifically made so that you don't know. You know as much as the protagonists. You see what the protagonists are seeing. The game managed to create a cohesive narrative and create a world that made more sense the longer you played and the more you got invested into its characters. Although the game is overall bittersweet, I fully enjoyed it and I am pretty sure a lot of people will find something or someone they like in this game.

[h1]很难相信这是骗子社作品,还是樱井光主笔?![/h1] [h3]——摇曳着的蒸汽朋克电波,奇幻中二且富有魅力[/h3] 《紫影的索纳尼尔 ~何等美好的记忆》是骗子社独树一帜的“蒸汽朋克系列”作品第五部,相比于简明易懂的“现代化”作品,《紫影的索纳尼尔》原首发于10年,距今已有10余年之久,但是其画风具有超越时间的魅力,在现在也颇为奇幻,先说好,《紫影的索纳尼尔》无疑是一部精品文艺电波作乙女向游戏,但是现在来看也无疑是一部“过时”的作品,难以理解,需要从年轻时代樱井光大妈的笔下反复咀嚼,去掉糟粕才知道真实含义。 Emmm,简单来看就是青春文学+双女主奇幻冒险的设计,用奇幻的画风在同类作品中拔得头筹,但是不得不说,在文坛和绘画接近群魔乱舞,诸位大能御剑飞行的当下,已经不是很够打了,但是老作品也确实有他的开拓性在的。 [h2]充满艺术气息,多有遣词造句的童话故事[/h2] 因为不知名灾害而化为废墟的旧重机关都市纽约,这是二人约定相见的地方,然后在废墟的表面之下,有着延伸着紫色天空的“纽约”地下世界。丧失记忆的少女莉莉在化为了异空间的地下国度开始了“以抵达紫色天空的尽头”为目的的冒险。 与她一起的,是谜之少年A,途中她们将与各种人和机械造物相遇,走在一波三折的路上,在充满谜团与危险的世界中遭遇各式各样的的困境,并利用智慧与[spoiler] “比喻”[/spoiler] 奇妙脱离险境。 最终,在少女终点她将见到什么?在另一边探寻地表的少女,她究竟是?各种谜题的答案,一切的一切的答案,将在旅途中揭晓。 这不是很棒吗?在我正式打开游戏后发觉,曼妙奇特的音乐,富有感染力的作画,精美的遣词造句,如同鸟儿般自由的诗韵,“坠落,坠落,直到失去记忆”,非常强悍的配音与画面感,确实是一流的文艺作品,非常棒的艺术体验。 [h1]结语:蒸汽朋克观感最好的一部[/h1] “这一切都没有任何意义,没有任何意义”——游戏中不断重复着这句话,但是在推的途中,我们渐渐的收获了不少东西,其实回过头来,“何等美好的记忆”,这一切路上所见所闻就是最好的意义了。 [quote] 奏游戏之乐章,品人生之绚烂 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45672460/]欢迎加入 『 丰川集团 』[/url] [u][b]以丰川集团之名,行评测鉴赏之事[/b][/u][/quote]
Love the prose, artworks, and the atmosphere. Would love to see more of Liar-Soft visual novels
[h1]支离破碎,若隐若现[/h1] 在这个蒸汽已将天空染得灰蒙蒙的地方,世界被分为了“地上”与“地下”。在这里,你可以感受机械交错的硬核;在这里,你能触到战争残酷的余温;在这里,你能看到那些一点一点挣扎,一点一点跌入现实的谷底的行尸走肉……这里是残酷的。这里是神秘的。 《sona-nyl of the violet shadows refrain》是一款含有成人内容的制作精致的视觉小说作品。在游戏中,你将扮演:地上世界的艾丽西亚,在被灾难席卷的废墟中寻找背后的真相;地下世界的失忆女孩莉莉,在神秘幽暗的地下世界寻找“紫影之塔”,与神秘少年一同踏上危险的冒险之旅。 [h1]幻想与现实,起点与尽头[/h1] 忽然一日,神秘的灾难就这样席卷了这座昔日辉煌的重工业城市,蒸汽朋克的梦幻世界付之一炬,化为了遍地废墟,究竟是什么,使得整座城市从历史上消失……数年后,为了寻找那个重要的人,艾丽西亚在废墟中踏上了征途…… 幽暗的地下世界,失忆的少女在深处苏醒,为了抵达那唯一线索中写着的“紫影之塔”,她踏上了危险恐怖的旅途,同行的神秘少年、危机四伏的地下世界、各种诡异神秘的怪物攻击,怎样才能走到终点?怎样才能找到背后的真相? 作为一款视觉小说作品,本作体量庞大,在内容上,主要以地上世界与地下世界两位女主的故事展开,无论是字数、选项还是结局都十分丰富。游戏的美术风格别致,深紫色的主色调使得游戏风格唯美奇特,艺术感极强。游戏的剧情质量极高,拥有各种代入感极强的氛围描写和很有深度的剧情设计,然而比较可惜的是,游戏并没有官方中文,作为一款需要很大程度需要阅读体会,且内容还不肤浅的视觉小说,没有官方中文,确实对玩家会造成很大幅度的影响。 [h1]成人内容上[/h1] 作为游戏的添头,游戏的成人内容同样优秀,精致的立绘与大量的静态CG,加上悦耳的音乐和覆盖游戏全程的超高质量日语配音,使得代入感极强。不过,作品为全年龄段作品,所以成人内容需要补丁解锁。 [h1]总结[/h1] 总而言之,本作是一款质量非常高的视觉小说作品,无论是从立绘、剧情还是音乐上来看,本作都是一款非常优秀的作品。由于文本深度较深,文本数量庞大,却没有官方中文,使得部分玩家可能会被劝退。对本作感兴趣或喜欢的玩家,在考虑后可以尝试。 [quote]欢迎前来关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45353266/] 𝗞𝗼𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗮𝗼🍁」 [/url] [u][b] 采撷旅途之叶,铭刻生命之诗[/b][/u][/quote]
