The Way We All Go

I know that this remake has been exciting for fans of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/352610/The_Way_We_All_Go_2015/]the original version of [i]The Way We All Go[/i][/url], but I also enjoyed it tremendously as someone who came late to the Ebi Party and never got around to playing the original. The heavy and even complex branching makes this a departure from most of her other works, the majority of which are kinetic or have only fairly simple branches. It's something to keep in mind before trying this game out, but I don't think it's a negative thing at all - experimenting with the different choices is incredibly fun! There's some flavor text that changes based on your choices even if you don't end up getting a different ending (and even some CGs tucked away in certain branches!), which makes it rewarding and well worth it to experiment with as many choices as possible to uncover all of the content. The scenes range from uplifting and sweet to utterly sickening, but it all ties together really well without feeling discordant; it makes sense, based on your choices, how things can go so horribly sour. The content itself also expands as you earn more endings. Some endings are not available to you from the get-go, with the choices that lead to these new endings only becoming available after you've seen certain content. It really gives this visual novel a sense of progression, in a way that's more 'game-like' than many of ebi's other VNs and which I really enjoyed. Though I really like all of the girls (there's not a single character here that I dislike), my favorite one was actually buried deep, [i]deep[/i] into a hard-to-get ending, LOL. I really like the cutesy anime art style (you may recognize the artist's work from [url=https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30485/The_Fairys_Bundle/]ebi's [i]Fairy[/i] series[/url], though I think their style has improved and evolved since the early installments!) and there's also a bunch of adorable chibi CGs by a different artist. Chibi CGs are something that I used to see a lot in indie EVNs, but I feel like they've become rarer in recent years (or maybe I'm just not playing the right games?) sadly... the chibis here fill the void in my heart that craves cute little images, haha~ There's a few fun references in this story which tie together some of ebi's other works into a little extended universe; chief of which is a shared setting, but there's some more explicit references to character names and the events of other stories. I won't say which, because I think it's most fun to find these references yourself, but it made me smile to recognize them, and I think it will do the same for other ebi fans! And finally, a brief note to anyone wondering whether it would be better to just buy the cheaper original rather than splash out on the remake: in my opinion, the extra polish and content on this version is well worth the cost. As the store pages show, the art in this version is more consistent and of a higher quality; additionally, between the extra endings and the bonus stories that unlock as you reach new endings, this version has quite a bit more content to explore than the original! Of course, if you're not convinced this version is an upgrade, you could always buy both just to see for yourself.... haha ;)

The new art and music in this remake is really nice. It was nice to revisit these characters after playing the old version. I think I'm more sympathetic to the characters this time around (especially Noelle), not because of a change in writing, but because I had time to think about the reflect on the story between the original and the remake. I got used to them in my head, I guess. I think the added endings, with the new character, gave me an unhappier final impression than the Comiket ending, which used to be the last one you would get. It's a nice ending that doesn't focus on any of the three main girls, focusing more on Paya, but they all get along. Now the fox ending is the last one you'll get. It also has basically an equal balance on all three girls, but you have to mistreat Noelle a little to get it. I had to reckon with the fact that I've gotten so many bad endings because I've favored Amu over Noelle, or because I wanted 100% completion. Noelle forgives Atcchan, because she does, but I'm not sure if he really deserves it anymore. I made Atcchan do bad things in this VN that sometimes feels more like a puzzle than a story, pulling little levers that please or offend the characters, and in the new endings, they're all canon to that. It's like it's my fault that Noelle has suffered so much. I was complicit in the horrors. I think the new endings really suit the VN. Oh, and the fragments (stories you unlock after getting endings), were short, fun little segments. They're just that, fluff. I do appreciate added references to other ebi-hime VNs in the remake, but that's because I'm a sucker for those kinds of things. The references are fanservice that don't really add to the story, so you don't have to try to read as many has her VNs as possible to appreciate The Way We All Go. It's nice, though.

Отличная новелла с разветвленным сюжетом и хорошо прописанными персонажами.

The Way We All Go is a very enjoyable VN with a lot of choices, endings and many interesting characters. I have done multiple playthroughs and something I really appreciated is the big changes that small choices can bring, making it easily replayable with multiple different scenarios. Searching for the various endings is also fun because each one gives you a new view of the characters, letting you see their different sides. I've already read many of ebi-hime's works, and just like the others, the writing is really good. The VN also has great art and music

So after 23 hours and also 23 endings i will write my review, to put it short: Community is nice and also ebihimes who is the dev of it, the game itself is worth the money and at the same level as doki doki literature club in my eyes, everyone who play the game will have a different experience what is a very good thing, you not only have one character to focus on what is also a good thing, psycho horror is available but not absolutely forced so there are many endings without it. Longer version: I personally played the demo version first what is also a plus point of the game because you can clearly know then that you want to buy it or not, then i played the full version and my first ending was Noelles romance ending (i heard that almost or likely no one got this ending as his first one), from that point on i knew that the game is worth playing and i also knew that you are able to focus youself on the character you like the most, i joined a bit later ebihimes discord server to ask questions and stuff what was a really good choice because ebihimes also answer you questions and give you tips even when he is the dev, the community is also nice and almost always help you or answer you with the time, and as the time passed i also got more and more endings until i got to this point now, so yeah i would say that this game is worth buying it.

Amazing visual novel, Ever since I played the original the way we all go its been my favourite visual novel so when the remake released I immediately had to get it. The remake is just as good as the original and improves on a lot of parts of the original. The story is amazing and all the endings and amazing. I 10000% recommend
