Is a beautiful little game.
A beautiful short visual novel that explores Taiwan after a possible war and its impact on the people living there. I played it in German. Pros: - Beautiful story, shining light on the beautiful island of Taiwan - You notice that the author has indeed either lived in Taiwan or talked to Taiwanese people - Beautiful music Cons: - The artwork is sometimes inconsistent—for example, different art styles are used within the game. - I would’ve really preferred if the images of Taipei hadn’t been AI-generated—or at least had been based on real photos. - Some of the AI pictures show two or more Taipei 101s, which is a bit off-putting. - The voice acting could use some work, at least in the German version Overall, I recommend playing it. Although it has some flaws, it is nice to play in one evening and has a nice atmosphere.

good game good story would recommend
A nice and short game. I'd probably rate it about 3/5 stars. It's a nice game with two possible branches. You get to explore the results war has on people from a few angles. It's easy to understand, has a nice soundtrack, and has a peculiar take on war. Instead of showing you the "action", it shows you the effects the war has on individuals who all come from different backgrounds, but the same conflict. Give it a try if you want something to do for the next two hours.
The Beautiful Island is indeed as the name suggests a beautiful visual novel that delivers a deeply emotional experience. Set in the aftermath of a brutal war between the Middle Empire and the States, the game invites players to explore the lingering scars left on a once-peaceful island and its people. What makes this game truly outstand is its storytelling. Rather than focusing on the war itself, The Beautiful Island tells a more intimate and human story. As the protagonist, you return to the island to reconnect with old friends, witnessing firsthand how the war has shaped their lives. One of The Beautiful Island’s greatest strengths is how it handles its political themes. The war may be over, but the consequences linger in every aspect of life. The game doesn’t shy away from complex issues like the challenges of rebuilding, and the moral gray areas left in the wake of conflict. These themes add depth to the story, making it not just a personal journey but a reflection on the nature of war and its aftermath. Overall, The Beautiful Island is an good but short experience. It’s a beautifully written and emotionally gripping visual novel.
great game good story line would recommend
Very political story... not my type. But what really is a no go are that the whole game is made with AI/KI... The Images look sometimes even non-human. The same character can look non human in the next scene and is back again... Even the whole store seems AI-Generated cause it has so many flaws. Really a big NO to AI Games!
visual novel game, good game, good story line would recommend to everyone
It's a cute visual novel. Disregard my time played though, I often forget games are still running in the background XD
Ну скип чё.
