this is what peak looks like. <3
评分:4/5 评测:一共4个短片小故事,对话框是以气泡的形式呈现的,玩起来有点像看漫画,非常有意思。画风很清新,背景音乐也很好听,非常适合放松的时候玩一玩
剧情很短,感觉只有个开头的样子

Short prelude for a "The Waters Above" visual novel that was never released. The art is very beautiful! It's some of the prettiest art I've seen from Studio Elan Visual Novels. I liked how dialogue bubbles occasionally appear and disappear on their own to create a more natural dialogue effect. From the prelude the story also seemed to inhabit an unusually large-scale fantasy world, where SE Visual Novels typically stay in a small-scale fantasy world. I hope "The Waters Above" is finished and released some day!
I almost wish I had not installed and played through these stories knowing that the full game will never come out, because before I knew it I was in love with the story and setting and wanting so much more. Especially knowing the usual quality of Studio Elan projects, I am sad that this will never become anything more... jk, unless? 🥺
The Waters Above: Prelude deveria ser uma demo de um jogo completo. Infelizmente, o jogo foi cancelado e a demo é tudo o que resta do jogo. Eu estava esperando ansiosamente para jogar The Waters Above antes de ouvir esta triste notícia. Tem muito potencial e acho que, se concluído, o jogo pode ser um dos melhores romances visuais que existem.
It's a shame the project got cancelled. The visual is worth looking forward to. I'll be checking the other projects done by the dev team~
A glimpse at what would have been an amazing visual novel with super cute and fun characters and a really stunning and impeccably done set of visuals all throughout the 4 short stories available. Really bummed upon finding out this project had been cancelled, very much felt like it would have something really special had it been finished :(
《The Waters Above: Prelude》简评 以下有剧透,并且是我自己的理解,可能存在由于翻译引起的偏差 ———————————————————— 1.简介 纯英文视觉小说,无配音,全流程20-40min(取决于英语阅读流畅度)。游戏构造了一个苍穹之上的海中世界,而这个世界正在面临危机。本作则是四个先导小故事,大致介绍了世界观和部分人物 2.音画文 bgm好听,cg不多但质量在线。英文词汇量要求不算太大,我借助翻译器磕磕绊绊基本能读明白 3.由于目前还没有官中(民间汉化不知道有没有),我大概就按自己理解把四个故事描述下 ①海中世界要保护的对象star(原型是海星吗??),这个古老的种族正在消亡。Apple是万年以来第一个有人形的star,Maera(原型是水母)是负责保护star的海仙女(sea nymphs)之一。 ②Clio(原型猜测是墨鱼?)邂逅了Maera ③Clio和Maera交往后的一天(就这个百合爽),Maera突然感觉不到Leannan(没交代,猜是Maera负责保护的star),赶到天庭(star所在的地方)发现Leannan消失了 ④天庭的档案助理和星星的研究人员Iris(原型大概是安康鱼)被“另一个自己”绑架,之后发现自己只是克隆的实验体,并且被注入了star物质,其中包含了star种族的记忆。而故事的最后Iris的本体说了句“我要吃掉你”,故事戛然而止。 4.题外话 个人英语水平有限,如有不同观点欢迎批评指正! 本作上线时间好像是2018年,现在似乎还没出正传…… 通关之后EXTRA里面会解锁画廊、音乐和笔记 画师Namie最知名的角色是二游《明日方舟》的水月、澄闪和佩佩,而水月的原型正是水母,这或许也是一种巧合吧hhh
Absolutely loved the artwork. Would love to see the whole game like this one.
