The Symbiant

I would say, this is one of the most cohesive visual novels I've ever played. Like the story, it was just circling around a spaceship just the three characters managing their bonds with each other until the story ends. I also think this was somewhat unique theme for Boy's Love/Yaoi genre - though I didn't see any sexual intercourse actions (but onto the adult patch) - it's had some supernatural being or alien in their spaceship and one of the character have an intimate-complex relationship with that weird-looking mate of him. When it comes to technicality... Pros: - As I've been mentioned, I loved the theme of the story and it blends out really well on the setting of the game; it compliments in the shimmering yet somewhat minimalistic backgrounds. - I loved the character bonds with each other, very relatable to our current generations with our own perspectives right now about LGBTQIA+ community - no heavy drama. Also, the character designs looks natural not too sharp and shabby on their appearances; not very saturated on colors been picked. I liked each character's traits that really matches their appearances and the like. - The menu and the settings guides the visual reader/player in a simple way that we could understand. No other complicated options that can cause confusions. - The dialogue and how the voice-over actors plays and the way they delivering every word of their role - not bland - it was so natural with so much emotions. - I liked the decent numbers of endings - not so many - just right as this might overwhelmed the players (for me, it would overwhelmed me on how to get each ending), different varieties of endings that I liked, of course the happy and sad endings - the classics. - So genius on how they came up for players to get each achievement. I hope some visual novel game developers come up with this idea, that each dialogue with each choice or option that might be appropriate to get that particular achievement. Cons: - I think this was somewhat a bit short for $10-$12 game with minimum of 8 hours up to 15 hours of gameplay if you do an achievement of playing up screen replays. *But on the positive side, the discount event did the game worth to play as the price decreased. *Now, it is worth the price, but it just to see the sexual action presentation though it's free patch, I hope y'all compressed it in one game. P.S: I just want to commend the background artists behind the beautiful sceneries for the game's backgrounds, they did their job very well. I even picked and display one as my Windows' background as you guys did a great job with those art sceneries. --- Rate: 9.5 (Amazing)
