The Shadows of Pygmalion

This should or could have been an anime with lots of drama and action. Don't be discouraged by the first half an hour of the game trying to be extra mysterious. It needn't have tried because there is a whole lot going on. The world is interesting, the characters adorable, the action satisfying and the mysteries are well done (for me at least). I can safely say I loved all of it.

【可能包含些许剧透】 这部作品对我来说实在是不太好评价，不过我还是决定冲着它大搞世界观设定和还算不错的剧情给它打个好评。首先，刚开始的一段剧情让我大为不解，因为开始的剧情给我的观感就像是“纳粹杀死了懵懂无知的青年的犹太裔初恋情人，还强迫这位青年加入纳粹并一起参加种族迫害”一样。这里这个普通青年就是女主，女主爱上的邻家姐姐因为身份成了某个组织种族清洗的对象而遭到杀害，而女主同样也因为身份被强行赋予了执行种族清洗的“使命”（至少看起来是这样）。这一段确实看得我有点生理不适，都有点怀疑作者有法西斯倾向了。不过推到了一半的时候，我明白了本作说到底还是属于那种“阳光明媚的黑暗风格”，这也就是说虽然表面上有许许多多的伙伴、朋友甚至对手间的友好互动，实际上主角、主角团和主角所属组织的所作所为原本就并不一定是正义或者正当的。本作中，当互相杀戮成了所谓“最高意志”或者神明调整世界运行的工具，个人的意志和生死也变得无关紧要了。这让我想到魔法少女小圆中的“魔法少女的绝望是为了向更崇高的目的提供能量”的说辞。不过让我感到比较满意的是本作并没有出现用了黑暗设定之后却包饺子的情景，真结局看着像是HE，不过死掉的人可是确确实实回不来了，曾经发生过的自相残杀也不只是发生在另一个世界的事情而已，抛弃人性而登神从来就不是什么美好的事情（怎么这里的“成神”又这么像“圆环之理”了？）。而另外三个结局都是清一色的BE，而且并不像很多作品敷衍了事的BE，三个结局各有特色，“各有各的不幸”。总体上剧情圆得其实挺不错的，绝望感也渲染得比较到位。 说几句题外话。本作的金发小萝莉是花泽香菜配音，不过并不是那么标志性的声线。另外本作是有汉化的，可以打上补丁后在启动设置里修改打开路径，这样就能用steam正常打开（英文是真的啃不动，感觉不用中文推至少慢一半）。另外推完3个BE后别忘了重开一遍，一路c到那个唯一的选项再进TE。最后你要是问我到底推不推荐，我只能说可推，虽说神作是算不上，但整体观感还是可以的

I DEEPLY regret buying this so-called "game". There is ONE choice in the ENTIRE Visual Novel. That makes this a book, NOT a game. If I wanted to read a book, I'd buy one on Kindle. If I wanted to watch an anime, I'd watch an effing anime! If I go on a gaming platform like Steam, I expect to play a GAME. And a game have choices that affect the outcome. A good amount of choices even. This is NOT a game. And no amount of story depth can make up for that fact. So I cannot recommend this game. It is not worth the price. It's not even worth having it for free, unless it comes on Kindle. Perhaps the game warns there is no choices, but I don't remember seeing such a warning. Personally I feel a bit cheated.

Maybe showing a teenage girl naked in a bath is pedophilia

劣化版小圆，中期开始疯狂补设定，看的头都大了，节奏很迷 看贴贴的看到璃子给光奈补魔那里就可以了，后面都是泪

wanted real bad to like it but the amount of corny cynicism about Human Nature was so overbearing i couldn't take it anymore. parts of it are cool but there's only so much casting the arab spring as a psyop by dolls i can take before i have to just stop lmao

[h1]Incredible story[/h1] A visual novel of decent length, its only faults are possibly the pacing (can be long-winded or full of tedious exposition) and even though there are no sexual images per se, I found the eidos rituals a little uncomfortable due to (what I thought was an unnecessary) inclusion of a sexual element... not least of which was non-consenting. If you can get past these points, then the game is a blast. Characters are voiced, the background music is decent. I found the story highly addictive - once I started I couldn't put it down. It took me the better part of two days and an afternoon but I feel like it's altered my perception of the world. Yes, it's THAT powerful. Structurally, the VN takes the form of a single story with no choices to worry about. Once you get to the end, there is one choice offering three endings - once you have read these, a fourth option opens the path to the true ending. There is also a 'jump' button in the menu, allowing you to skip to unread or new sections that may have unlocked after reaching the final ending, which is handy for getting those last few images in the gallery. The story centres on Hajiro Mina, a typical schoolgirl with girly friends that stumbles into a strange world of myth and legend, where a secret battle is being fought for the future of the world. It's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster, as is the norm with all the best VNs. She makes new friends, discovers new abilities... and of course people die. I'd love to go into more detail but I don't want to spoil it. What I will do is thoroughly recommend it, and I'd also challenge anyone that reads it all (without skipping!) to not come out the other end feeling something inside them had changed.

打出了三人未来(也就是选最上面那个选项)的结局:这部作品不能说是跌宕起伏,更应该说是一部彻头彻尾的悲剧. 其实也不知道编剧是怎么想的,整个剧情玩下来感觉情绪就是下降平稳再下降,你基本上找不到什么能让你情绪上升的点.所有人到最后都没了,最后真就无人生还了.虽然并不是说这样的剧情有问题,毕竟悲剧的氛围确实也营造得很好,但玩完那种怅然若失的感觉,感觉还是挺奇怪的.游戏的氛围营造的非常好,就是前奏感觉太长了些,而且某些画面实在是有些夸张了(看个人接受程度,见仁见智). 不过这个游戏在设定方面存在着一些问题.就比如光奈的费米简并,既然是拥有着"集合全宇宙的所有思念的力量"的技能,在最后决战的时候光奈一下子就像压根不会这个技能一样愣是不放,讲道理要是放了这个技能J还会就这么死掉吗?但编剧似乎压根就没往这方面考虑.还有关于女主羽白光奈也是,感觉全程就是在不断地被灌设定,13个小时的游戏时长将近灌了4个小时的设定,别说女主了正常人也接受不了吧.杨全程都是一副"其实我早就知道了,但是我就是不给你们说.不要问,问就是时机未到"的嘴脸,每次都在光奈这边形势不好的时候再给光奈一个suprise,什么离谱背刺,队长是这样当的吗,我是光奈我都想砍她了.还有少女A,本来以为光奈会接着当时复活少女A的经历,自己觉醒能够对抗玉体的力量并在最后打垮其它两个玉体,引导世界的发展,结果编剧直接给了我一巴掌,少女A全程词典+转接器,真的把"工具人"给我展现得淋漓尽致了.本来多好一个设定结果变成这样,无语. 最后关于本作"百合"的问题.相信不少人都是看到了一些"百合galgame推荐"的帖子才来的(其实我最开始也是),不过还是要先做好提醒,本作配角雷,且在最后会变得非常非常明显,明显到专门有一张CG(虽然bgm很感人,但那确实就是雷).而至于百合的部分,本作仅限于贴贴,且只有一次,无CG,心理描写非常非常少(少到快只剩下脸红了),基本只能靠脑补剧情(据说女主线会好一些,不过是be).如果是抱着硬百或者高浓度贴贴来的,不建议入手,本作核心还是战斗,最多加一个轻百,需要百合还是隔壁花花聆花等等,浓度比这个不知道高到哪里去了.

boring common route + slow pacing, i was hooked by the opening movie but now i dont know if it better continue reading it or not.
