作为一款对某些地区上锁的黄油,本作唯一的问题就是一点都不黄,扑面而来的是性冷淡、或者那种充满了理智的男同性恋风格,因为数量少得可怜的成人内容片段。如果作者本意是想制作女性向的细腻情感的故事,主人公却是个抠脚大汉?既然说到了细腻的情感,那咱们聊一聊剧情的沉浸感,如果作者的本意是想制作一部“电影”,带一两个NSFW片段,那么,没有人声配音、需要手指点击的PPT观赏模式,作为一部爱情类电影,在今年已经完完全全的过时了。我可以去Netflix动动手指开个会员,一个月看十部女明星露点的片子,我只需要点击播放,就不用再去伤害我的鼠标。他们的故事性与沉浸感不比本作要强?目前只是抢先体验版,但已足够糟糕,我想不到有什么办法可以欺骗我自己,去相信这款游戏能够起死回生。已退款。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3627343254

And your desire to unlock all achievements) [b]Positive side : ✔️✔️✔️✔️[/b] 1. Story and Writing : To start off, slow burn AVNs like this are way too unappreciated. Its AVNs like this that are often my favorite. The art and characters in Strangers on Paper is amazing. The first few chapters were really good, and the fact that both paths of the love interests, Amy and Becca, are very unique when you put them up against each other is something that I really like about this game. Its like you're playing in two different worlds, meeting different people, and going to different types of events and that's something I really liked about this game. All I can say is that the developer can take ALL the time necessary for the next few chapters of this two in one package. +Great Writing +Everyone is just feels real +Great love interests The dialogue is sharp and insightful, diving into the complexities of relationships. I found myself genuinely invested in the characters’ journeys, as the narrative delves into their backgrounds and motivations. The choices you make really matter, impacting the characters in a way that feels authentic and meaningful. Overall, Strangers on Paper masterfully balances stunning visuals with rich storytelling. It’s a visual novel that invites you to truly connect with its characters, making every moment feel significant. If you appreciate depth in storytelling, this game is an absolute gem! 2. Visual : The lightning and the tone color of renders very good making immersive experience during the game. The art is absolutely gorgeous, with detailed designs that breathe life into each character and scene. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the visual aspects, enhancing the emotional resonance of key moments. The environments are beautifully crafted, creating an immersive backdrop for the intimate stories unfolding within them. 3. Music : Music ? : Don't worry you will not feel alone during play Strangers on Paper. The music is perfect for what it needs to be, Good choice of Music But No ambient sounds effect or Moaning sound 4. Gallery : There are two types gallery, First bonus side story of the game and Unique Moment I guess ? 5. Steam Achievements : Steam Achievements available and not too hard to collected. You can collect most of them when you play the game and figure it out yourself and have 25 in total. But you need more than 1 style playthrough 6. Price : my suggestion wait for 20-25% for current episode (2) 7. Steam cloud support is available. ( because my recent crash PC, then I realize this feature its must and mandatory also carry all your save and gallery progress which is very important )✔️✔️✔️ 8. Bonus free Walkthrough PDF BUT there is point need your attention ⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔⛔ 1. Animation : Even with amazing visual no Animation during lewd scenes really make me broken heart. 💔 Hopefully we can see that in future episode? 2. Short : To me for the price the game play still short, only spent 4-6 hours for launch version, hope we get at least 10 hours gameplay 🌼Congratulations for your release and Goodluck in the future ,and Universe bless you always 🌼 [b]🌟In the end all of us play gaming for having fun and spend our free time, stop hate each others make better community, Enjoy the game🌟 🎀🎀🎀 If you like or feeling helpful or even feeling funny with my reviews give drops comments press Like button👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 And visit my Curator page below : [/b] ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ [h1]________________________________________________________________________________[/h1][h1] Curator Page [/h1][u][b]💜💜💜 If you like my reviews and wanna find out list of my others games review please visit and follow my curator page, Thank you very much that mean a lot to me and really appreciated. 💜💜💜[/b] [/u] [h1] LINK : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43756293-AVN-ADULT-GAME-RECOMMENDATION/ [/h1]
[h1]종합평가 : Tier - A+ (0.5 티어)[/h1] [i]'Fatal Flaws'라는 소설을 히트시킨 작가 Daniel은 차기작을 쓰는 과정에서 슬럼프에 빠졌습니다. 그리하여 친구 Tony는 글쓰기 슬럼프를 해결할 완벽한 방법을 제안합니다. 바로 그의 바에서 일하면서 낯선 사람들을 만나고, 그들에 대한 이야기를 써보라는 것이었죠. 하지만 막상 일을 하며 만난 가장 흥미로운 인물들은 낯선 이들이 아니라 과거에 알던 사람들이었습니다. 가장 친한 친구인 Tony의 누나이자, 과거에 짝사랑했던 Becca, 그리고 고등학교 시절 인기녀였던 Amy. 다시 고향으로 돌아온 Becca는 여전히 무심한 태도를 유지하면서도, 어딘가로부터 당신에게 손을 내밀고 있는 듯하며, Amy는 완벽해 보이는 삶을 뒤로하고, 토요일 밤을 조용한 바에서 술에 취하려 애쓰고 있습니다. 그리고 그들이 보여주는 겉모습 뒤에는 처음 예상했던 것보다 훨씬 더 많은 이야기가 숨겨져 있었는데..[/i] -------------------------------------------------------------------- 현재 Early Access 단계로, 챕터 2까지 제작되었으며 렌더 이미지는 3,066개이며, 애니메이션은 4개입니다. 그리고 저 4개는 야스 씬의 애니메이션이 아닙니다. 야스 씬은 딱 하나만 존재할 뿐이며 애니메이션도 없고, 심지어 옵션에서 NSFW 장면 활성화 체크를 해야 됩니다. Default가 비활성화거든요. 물론 활성화 하나 안 하나 그닥 큰 차이는 없습니다. 이 게임에서는 저의 최애가 무려 둘이나 존재했습니다. 그리고 이 게임의 히로인은 두 명이죠. 네.. 두 사람 다 다른 매력으로 설렘을 선사해 줍니다. Amy는 특유의 사랑스러움으로 다가가고 싶은 매력을 보여주었으며, Becca는 실제로 과거 저한테 저런 연상의 첫사랑은 없었지만 마치 평행세계의 저에게는 저런 첫사랑이 있지 않았을까? 싶은 그런 짝사랑하는 마음이 감정이입이 되었습니다. Amy는 사랑에 빠질 수밖에 없는 여성이었고, Becca는 사랑을 주고 싶은 여성이었습니다. 주인공은 저 둘 중 한 명을 택해 스토리를 진행할 수 있습니다. 그리고 누구를 선택하건 각각의 매력에 빠질 수밖에 없더군요 그렇기 때문에 오히려 야스 씬이 없기를 바라며 플레이했습니다. 야겜의 의무를 다하기 위해 개연성 건너뛰고 일단 박고 보는 그런 무지성 전개가 이 게임의 장점을 훼손할 거라 생각했습니다. 일단 이 게임은 일반적으로 알고 있는 AVN 과는 많이 다릅니다. 어찌 보면 Summer's Gone 과 같은 느낌이겠네요. 하지만 연출은 이 게임이 압도적이라고 생각합니다. 21:9의 와이드 화면으로, 초점을 맞춰 블러 처리하는 방식과 밤에 드라이브하는 장면에서 캐릭터들을 비추는 광원 효과는 마치 영화를 보는듯한 느낌을 주었습니다. 다른 게임에서는 거의 느껴보지 못했기에 더 색다르더군요. 또한 시적인 표현이 자주 등장합니다. 아마 주인공이 작가라는 점을 반영했겠지만.. 정말 각 잡고 하나하나 번역하면서 플레이했는데 이런 시적인 표현들은 단순히 직역을 해버리면 도저히 그 느낌을 살릴 수가 없었기 때문에 챗 GPT에게 그 느낌을 살릴 수 있는 의역을 부탁했을 정도입니다. 물론 장점만 있지는 않습니다. 살짝 핍진성이 어색한 부분이 있었어요. 챕터 1에서 Becca와 시간을 보낸 다음, 챕터 2에서 Amy를 만났을 때의 전개가 스토리적으로 좀 어색함이 느껴졌습니다. 하지만 그럼에도, 이 게임은 플레이 내내 몰입할 수 있었습니다. 예를 들어 바에서 술을 마시며 진행되는 장면에서는 앉아서 마우스 클릭질만 하던 저도 같이 취하는 느낌이었습니다. 또한 취한 사람의 눈빛의 묘사가 너무 예술적이었습니다. 그냥 분위기일 수도 있겠지만, 몰입을 한 상태에서 보면 자막이 아니라 캐릭터의 눈빛만 봐도 '이 사람이 많이 취했구나'라는 느낌이 들었습니다. 신기했어요. 일부러 취객의 흐리멍덩함을 표현한 게 아니고 정말 취한 듯, 안 취한 듯 은은하게 그 느낌이 전해져 왔습니다. 이 게임에는 많은 실제 영화와 게임들도 언급됩니다. 예를 들어 남주는 바이오 하저드에서 에이다를 좋아했다거나, 심지어는 Age of Empire 1의 성직자가 적군을 전향시킬 때 내는 'Wololo'까지도 등장합니다. 그걸 흉내 내는 Amy는 정말이지.. 심장이 발바닥을 한번 찍고 올라오는 느낌이었습니다. 이런 실제 현실에서 존재하는 영화와 게임들을 담아낸 점 때문에 그래서 더욱 픽션이 아닌 현실 같은 몰입이 가능했던 것 같습니다. 결론을 정리하자면, 주의 사항이라고도 할 수 있지만 이 게임은 물 빼는 용도의 야겜으로써는 추천하지 않습니다. 사실상 AVN이 아니라 VN으로 접근해야 되는 게임이며 야한 장면은 그저 덤으로, 육체적 만족이 아닌 정신적인 만족을 주는 게임입니다. 과거의 첫사랑이나 짝사랑의 향수를 다시 한번 떠올리며 감성을 느끼는 게임을 원하시는 분들께만 추천드립니다. Summer's Gone은 야겜의 본질인 야스 씬이 없다고 Tier - A 줬으면서 왜 이건 S를 주느냐 하신다면 제가 전에 Race of Life 리뷰에서 언급했던 제 개인적인 Tier - S의 기준 대로입니다. 위에 언급했던 이 게임의 모든 장점들이 조화를 이루어 '설렘'이라는 독자적인 분야를 만들었고, 애니메이션도 없는 고작 3,000개의 렌더링으로 그것이 그래프를 뚫고 나왔다고 생각합니다. [h1]Besides... A stranger's words can mean a lot more than you'd think.[/h1]
A very small story where it's not the NSFW part that makes this a must read but the writing, and how beautifuly rendered, shot this game is. From a plethora of of Corn Jank, to their numerous obnoxious protagonists, let's be honest just there to play as self-insert of our "interests" tenfold. You aren't the main character, from cliches, to movie cameos, you don't write the story but like any form of media, something linear is just that, it's art. Like any art piece, we experience it when we experience it, every stroke, every imperfection and in the end, we witness it, inspired by it. That's Beth and Amy, so if you're for example naming your white guy, "Jin" or "Tyrone", I see myself as that white guy because not just the girls, the MC is a pretty well written MC, maybe not main character worthy, but certainly someone experiencing the fundamentals, intricacies of romance. My best way to describe it is Life Is Strange with Sex, so Cinema. I'll update this comparison because hell, I may need to see a few more movies so I can go 2 hour video essay on this game.
[b] 有中文,EA,目前更新两章左右剧情。人物建模方面质量不错,两条线路的女主也算各有特点。 你是喜欢活泼可爱的快要结婚的初中同学AMY或是因为性格原因被一群人抹黑的只能用冷漠掩盖自己的朋友的妹妹BECCA? 目前可游玩时间不长,游戏仅有两章。激情场景cg目前看来差强人意,不确定后续的cg质量,顺便提一句想看成人内容的要先去设置中把NSFW模式打开,不然只是18+的情色小说而已。游戏也有提示模式如果对选择路线感到困惑的话直接打开吧! 其实这游戏给我的共鸣感很强,让我想起了很久以前忘记的事情。主角算是一个比较成功的作家。但处女作大获成功反而让他在构思新作步入了挣扎。朋友却劝他先享受生活便有了接下来的故事。 两位女主的性格也比较符合我的世界观和经历,青春活泼的少女从小到大被安排到了人生的结束,也许在真正踏入了婚姻的殿堂中,才猛然发现自己过去的经历算不算活着?[spoiler] 当然本人还是不会接受这种婚前派对、婚后安分守己的剧情 [/spoiler] 性格温柔的少女被看似善良的孩子们用最恶毒的语言攻击,也许一味的忍让只会被变本加厉,于是带上了面具,披上保护的外衣变成了另一个自己。 不过说实话本来我情绪酝酿的蛮难受,但看到背后的《人间失格》后似乎也可以勉强一笑呢。 没啥用的题外话。 [spoiler] 遥想当年,我还是个喜欢读各类的文字故事的人,突然发现自己座位后面的女孩居然和自己的爱好一样,当初我的愿望是自己写一本英雄救世向的小说,她则喜欢奇幻冒险的作品,甚至还互相调笑如果以后写出来的作品没有人看,那我们两个就互相的把自己的作品撰写下来送给对方作为纪念。可好景不长也不知道当时书呆子本身的我究竟有什么魔力,作为我同桌的女生便是班上人缘非常好的人,开始无差别语言上攻击我所有聊过天的女生,一开始年少的两人还不惧些许留言,后来言论越来越过分,或许她才是被攻击的主要对象,而我只是一个被波及的路人罢了。后来她发现当对我恶言相向时,所有的恶毒的言论都满满的消失了。于是这个世界上就少了一个救世的少年和一个冒险的少女,或许多年后我才能明白如果保护不了身边的人那还有什么必要去作那无趣的英雄。或与我该开始写下那奇幻冒险的故事说不定在另一边早就有人写好了英雄拯救少女的故事...[/spoiler] [/b] 关注或加入群组 ,蒂蒂评测,答辩走开 https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43568093/
很好,人物非常漂亮!
In an era in which it feels like every AVN tries to go bigger with more love interests, more content, more things to do and all that jazz, it's nice to see one that takes the opposite route and follows a much more intimate approach to its story. The fact that the game narrows its scope to only have two love interests really plays to the game' strength. Both Becca and Amy are really compelling characters on their own, and I would totally recommend playing both their routes. And if on top of that we add a very characteristic visual style, a nice soundtrack, a story with a proper balance between its lighthearted moments and its more heavier ones, you have a winner in your hands. P.S. I played other versions of this game, so ignore my number of hours played. The fact that I bought it just to recommend it to everyone should really tell you how good I think the game is.
reminds me of my younger years. fantastic and beautiful renders plus relatable plot, its worth a buy, the nsfw content is just a bonus. cant wait for chapter 3....
I’m really enjoying the story and the branching paths, but it felt extremely short—much shorter than I expected. I also noticed there haven’t been any updates from the developers in over a year. It’s frustrating when you find a great visual novel that just seems to stall out like this. I understand that life happens and development can be complicated, but even a small update or communication would go a long way in letting players know what’s going on. As it stands, it’s hard not to wonder if this ended up being more of a cash grab, which is a shame because it really seemed like they had something special here.
