Humanity always disregards other creatures, be they intelligent or not, and there's a great fear of opening yourself to a different, alien perspective. I always thought that was sad. And seeing how our planet is slowly dying because of greed, indifference or willing ignorance.. I really loved how all this reflected in the story. Vivus is so lovely (and rays of love for the 'Janitor', too). The song was great! Achievements bugged, I think, but I never really cared for them in games.
HOLYYY SMOKES THIS GAME IS SO GOOD !!!!!!!!! THE ARTSTYLE IS PHENOMENAL!!! I love Vivus sm!! my fav design of Vivus is definitely the green one :3 I definitely recommend this game this is going on my top 10! the character customization is mwah!! although I wish we could add glasses and a bit more hair options but other than that its awesome! genuinely happy I get to experience something as beautiful as this!!!

Pretty good! God fairly emotionally invested and just played this game for hours straight. Had to do some trial and error to get the ending I wanted though.
Honestly one of my favourite visual novel games that isn't hellish to play. I also know I just love the more "monster" love interests based-games, especially in research settings, so this is basically has been bait for me. I did try out the demo and got addicted so quickly while waiting for the full game. Very interesting and doesn't really hide the fact the Researcher you play as HAS a background you forgot about, and you can find out the history you had through various rounds even if you miss it at first. It doesn't mean you will know all of it in one round. IF you are here to romance VERA, bestie you ain't going anywhere. you get two interests and that's it. But VERA's personality is not pushed off nor are any of the other interests. Everyone in this is so well written and I adore it! only real downsides tho: IF you have the urge to 100% games, listen to me. you will be here for a while. Sadly, Telluricene is somehow a bit more obscure compared to other games so there are no full guides and it is newer atm so glitches do happen. I am still at this point missing 2 achievements out of the 20 total.
Loved it. The premise is interesting, the story keeps you invested, the dialogue is great, and the humor is just my type. The overarching themes are quite dark, and given the way they handle certain scenes, I only went for the good endings because I was afraid of the gut punch I knew the bad ones would deliver. I agree with another poster here that a little bit more of an epilogue would've been nice just to bask in the sun we fought so hard to see. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but I also don't see a gallery of the CG art! It was gorgeous, and I would've liked to go back to look at it some more.
非常好玩!!!!强推!
