Investigate the accident and reveal the mystery. Fascinating anime characters. Nice price. [VN] 257番目の元素を巡る、シャーロックホームズ的SFミステリーもの。高校生を巡る怪異を解き明かせ。各登場人物の絵が非常に魅力的かつ性格の個性も良く出ており、物語に大きく寄与している。将来的にはボイスも実装されるぽいX投稿もあった。
Actually for the time beign, I had a great time playing or actually reading this title. Tokimune is a bit a prick for my liking and his love interest Toka, is just a bit dull, in any case, as weebs would say, she is the goat. I just saw that they might integrate some actual and proper voice acting, not that this game desperately needs, but a welcome addition. Any plans to bring this game to iOS or Android? kinda want to put it as a show while im cooking, and speaking of cooking, Yall are cooking, congrats
Feedback for "The 257th Element": Engaging Storyline: The premise of the game is intriguing, blending elements of science fiction, mystery, and fantasy. The idea of creating new elements to solve real-world problems like food scarcity adds depth to the narrative. Rich Worldbuilding: The setting of Tokyo, post-Araraginium experiment, and the emergence of the mysterious island provide a visually stimulating backdrop for players to explore. The inclusion of futuristic designs, such as the invisible walls on the school rooftop and the Japanese-style space in Cafe CHIENYAROU, adds layers to the world. Character Development: The introduction of Araragi Humans adds an element of suspense and raises questions about identity and existence. Exploring the experiences of these characters and their interactions with the protagonist could offer deep storytelling opportunities. Gameplay Mechanics: The inclusion of elements as abstract concepts rather than traditional atoms is an interesting twist. Players could engage with these elements through puzzles, quests, or crafting mechanics, allowing for diverse gameplay experiences. Visual and Audio Design: Imaginative visuals and immersive sound design could enhance the player's experience, bringing the futuristic world of Tokyo and the mysterious island to life. Vibrant colors, futuristic technology, and atmospheric soundscapes could create a captivating ambiance. Player Agency and Choices: Providing players with meaningful choices and consequences could enhance replay value and immersion. For example, players could decide how to interact with Araragi Humans, shaping their relationships and affecting the outcome of the story. Exploration and Discovery: Encouraging exploration of the game world and rewarding players for discovering hidden secrets or lore could deepen engagement. Hidden clues, Easter eggs, and lore snippets scattered throughout Tokyo and the island could add depth to the narrative and encourage players to uncover the story's mysteries. Feedback and Iteration: Regular updates and patches based on player feedback could improve the overall gameplay experience. Listening to player suggestions, addressing bugs or balancing issues, and introducing new content could keep the game fresh and exciting for long-term players. Overall, "The 257th Element" has the potential to be a captivating and immersive gaming experience, combining intriguing storytelling, rich worldbuilding, and engaging gameplay mechanics. With careful attention to detail and responsiveness to player feedback, it could become a standout title in the gaming landscape.
Me pagaron por escribir esta reseña. No terminé el juego porque la historia se desarrolla muy lento al punto que uno pierde motivación en continuarla y estuve siendo presionado por el desarrollador para escribir la reseña sin tener el tiempo necesario para disfrutar del juego. Y no soy el único: La mayoría de las reseñas de este juego fueron pagadas. Yo jugué 8 horas y me han dicho que no llegué a la mitad. Si se fijan en las reseñas, la gran mayoría apenas tienen un par de horas. Ninguna de las personas que hizo las reseñas se acabó el juego. No recomiendo el juego porque el desarrollador, un japonés que se hace llamar Mr. R., es una persona muy mal educada que maltrata a las personas que trabajan con él. Varias veces me ha insultado a mí y a sus trabajadores, responde sarcásticamente, exige a los demás mucho más de lo que ofrece, además de no escuchar consejos ni entender a la razón. Es alguien que siempre cree estar en lo correcto a pesar de claramente señalarle sus errores. Esta persona no sabe nada de videojuegos y todos los juegos de REAL co.Ltd están hechos lo más baratos posibles simplemente para sacar un dinero fácil, lo cual es una ofensa para todos los gamers y desarrolladores que de verdad sentimos amor por el medio e invertimos nuestro tiempo y pasión por él. Los artistas que ayudaron a desarrollar este juego son excelentes personas que hacen un gran trabajo, pero la dirección es pésima. *Edición* Después de escribir este review, el dueño de la compañía me empezó a enviar mensajes por steam insultándome y amenazándome con demandarme por haber escrito esto.
No me gustan las novelas visuales y esta me ha parecido increíble. Con decenas de giros, el apartado artístico es muy bueno y expresivo, ni que decir del soundtrack!! Así que dale la oportunidad de jugarlo :3
I believe there are many things to improve in the story, some segments of it seem inconcluse, and some of the dialogues feel short compared to what as a player im expecting. In any case I believe there is potential within it. Cant wait to play this game once its finished.
Me recuerda mucho a las historias que ves en peliculas, donde ellos viven en un mundo tan avanzado con fenomenos tan dificiles de comprender en la actualidad que me hace divagar aun mas, pensar en que haria yo en esa situacion tan especial. La musica y las imagenes son muy bonitas, quiero desbloquear el Soundtrack completo :)
Muy buena VN para pasar un agradable fin de semana, me gusto el opening aunque tienes que iniciar una nueva partida para volverlo a escuchar. La música armoniza adecuadamente las escenas y los escenarios favorecen a la inmersión de la historia. Tiene personajes carismáticos aunque algunos no salen tanto como quisiera. Echo en falta que el poder ajustar la velocidad del "Auto read" siento que va algo rápido, aunque creo que la mayoría opta por pasar de el. VN recomendada, buena historia, buena música y bonito arte.
I love the jokes in this game, I noticed that it will be voiced, it true? when can w expect this update?!!
This game is lovely, I just wish this had some lgbtqia+ representation
