El arte es una maravilla, los personajes están bien escritos y la historia caballeresca aspiraba ser grandiosa. Lamentablemente, la narrativa se pudría a raudales con el pasar de los capítulos. La temática woke y demás aberraciones que la autora trata desesperadamente de normalizar a través del juego es demencial. Una manzana envenenada en toda regla. Si tienen oportunidad de jugarlo, desaprovéchenla. Su salud mental se los agradecerá en el futuro.
Charming characters, interesting worldbuilding and a couple of decent twists on the visual novel formula. I do have to say the final chapter didn't really feel very satisfying to go through compared to the rest of the game.
Un juego interesante y original, además con personajes muy bien logrados. Uno no se arrepiente de jugarlo, es más diría que es un juego altamente recomendable.
Es bonito ver una historia así, sentida, contada desde abajo, que no sólo aluda a la tradición picaresca española, sino que encima vaya con un setting andalusí. Oh, y Sep puede hacer lo que quiera conmigo.
This game is the best visual novel I've ever read - the characters spoke to me on a level I didn't expect going in to it, with their writing bolstered by the fantastic writing and voice acting on top of it. It's a story I'm going to be thinking about for a very long time.
A lot of fun, hilarious dialogue, wonderful artwork, and a good storyline that keeps you going. One area in the game that takes time, and you'll know it when you get there, you have to sift through multiple scenes to find clues. Take your time, it's worth it. Definitely worth the money.
Es de las mejores novelas que he jugado en mi vida (y no han sido pocas), tiene un mundo super desarrollado, personajes con mente, cuerpo y alma en todo lo que hacen y como se comportan, la historia es muy entretenida con giros inesperados. Tiene risas, llanto, acción no se que mas pedir... Tal vez un sistema de religiones estructurado y una enciclopedia explicando todo... Espera, ¡LO TIENE!
这个游戏值得更多人关注。
I typically don't write reviews until I'm finished with the game, but this game (a VN, which I don't usually play) has me hooked and impressed. The art and music are amazing and unique compared to other games, the characters are extremely memorable, and the writing (as of my review) made me laugh more times than I can count. I'm not done with the story as of this review, but I'm going to wholeheartedly recommend this game. It's definitely going to have me hooked for some time.
A really good and fun story, it gets a bit messy near the end but overall one of my favorite visual novel experiences, amazing characters and art, highly recommend
