University Life Visual Novel

19 minutes for 13.99 not even close to being worth that much!!!

Makin' love for two minutes (ooh, hoo) When it's with me, girl, you only need two minutes Because I'm so intense You whisper something sexy, like "Is that it?" I know what you're tryna say, girl You're tryna say, "Ah, yeah, that's it" - Business time, Flight of the Conchords This 14.99 video is 20-30 minutes long and low quality. I deleted most of my review because, it didn't need to be long, or snarky, and the song sums it up nicely. More review below if you actually want to continue. Observations/Commentary - Hopefully the creators can take the review and do something constructive with it. I'm a bit floored that this was released as a finished product. Inconsistent use of asterix to frame character's thoughts. As it is commonly used for actions, this was an interesting choice. Shortly after the start it switched to the font in bold to showcase character thoughts. Much better. The character thinks a lot and then speaks their thoughts making the text feel repetitive at times. There's telling and there's showing, and the stories appears to be heavy on the telling. "I wonder what took her so long, I had an entire conversation with a person". The MC then asks "Everything okay Anabelle? I was wondering what took you so long". This is redundant. And also… "a person"? The person had a name. Maybe it's just me but I use a person's name when I think about them. I don't call them a person in my head. Which brings me to my next thoughts on the writing. I see the conversation as choppy, poor grammatically, and not natural. The characters don't have a specific voice of their own, but instead all sound the same. An example is "Im gonna head out but I hope to see you soon". To break down my issue here, the first is the punctuation with specific attention to "I'm", "head out, but". While I'm by no means perfect, this is a common issue through story. Punctuation be darned! Additionally, the text doesn't have a natural feel or flow to me. "I gotta get going! See you later!" or "Ugh, I need to wrap up my paper for Sex-Ed 101, see you soon! Both would feel more natural and would provide some insight into the personality of a grumbling complainer (or a bad day), or a bubbly individual. An area where punctuation would be very helpful is the line "hey hey no look at me" No look at me? They meant to say "Hey! Hey. No, look at me". One sounds like broken English that is telling someone to not look, where the punctuation turns the meaning into the opposite implying, you're telling someone NOT to look away and to look at you instead. I'm not a fan of seeing the MC, and they're showcased a bit in the images. Part of the reason is that people are generally going to have an impression of what the MC looks like, and likely put themselves in the MC's place. Making the MC visible can distract from that approach to the visual novel. This is a personal preference, so people should do what they find joy in and hopefully they touch others who share the same preferences. That said, I really enjoyed the renderings, although there is room for improvement. There were some unique looks and flavors that I greatly appreciated, but all the uniqueness was limited to white people, so be aware. There were reused photos for conversations, but I appreciate that as opposed to a screen that is static through multiple conversation lines. A lot of Japanese VN's I've poked at tend to stare at blank rooms for WAY too long. Having wrapped one up recently, I can appreciate the variance even if they cycle through images for the dialogue. It's a step up here. The scene with the "blonde girl", AKA Sam, was too dark and should have been lightened up to make it consistent with the rest of the look and so you could see the model. Still, I enjoy the freckles and piercings. Although the sex scene with Kate… the lighting coloring choices make her look like a greyed corpse, at least on my screen which should be pretty decent for true color. A scene with Kate and the movies was also grainy as F. Kate also had circles drawn on her forehead, like a thought cloud, when leaving after some final Fing. But only in some stills. The game offers up choices when there's nothing to choose from, which I always consider a curious game design decision. There's one option and you HAVE to select it to progress, so… why is there an option? Another interesting choice is that the text for choices is grayed out and when you highlight the text better visible. Greyed out is a format choice used to indicate an option isn't available. So, that's what I got.

[h1]Story[/h1] You've moved out of your parent's house and into your new apartment. You're going to college to become a tech programmer. Unfortunately it is the same college that your ex is attending. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] You start off by setting the name of your character, there is no default. Then you are informed that the game is not complete. This game is not in the Early Access program. The developer states that updates will be released every three weeks. However, it looks like the last update was nine months ago. There is a background for the character names, unfortunately it isn't sized to accommodate Annabelle's name. All of the text looks to have a space at the beginning, so the first letter of the frame is indented. The text frequently overflows the text box. The story needs work, how about a little investment in the relationships? You run into Kate outside the coffee shop and she just says, "Hello Cutie." by the end of the conversation you have her number. By the end of the day she's in your bed. While the English is decent, there seems to be an issue with the word don't, the developer keeps leaving the apostrophe out. Since other words have an apostrophe, even in the same text block, I don't get it. There are also a lot of capitalization issues, words or letters that should be upper case and are not, first letter of names, the letter I, and so on. Right now there are only two, very brief scenes, both with Kate. [h1]The Gallery[/h1] There currently is no Gallery. [h1]Final Verdict[/h1] While I think the art is very good, the story is next to non-existent. The characters are flat. I can't recommend paying full price for the current content.

Не тратьте своё время и деньги. Не покупайте эту игру даже на 90% скидках. Проходите мимо или делайте рефанд пока не поздно.[hr][/hr] Обычно я неприхотлив и не против того чтобы поддержать автора и купить пару мусорных игр на распродаже в надежде что он на этих играх чему-нибудь научится и в будущем порадует более хорошими играми. Я бы может быть даже и эту игру оставил у себя в коллекции если бы хотя бы можно было пройти игру на 100%, но автор слишком безответственно подошёл к данной игре. - В данный момент перед нами просто первый акт новеллы, который можно прочесть примерно за 30 минут. - Техническое состояние. Оно плохое. Мало что диалоги не помещаются в диалоговом окне, так даже имя первой девушки с которой мы встретимся не помещаются в диалоговом окне! - 18+ контент... Выполнен в виде 2 сцен с одной героиней. Покопавшись в файлах игры увидел что вроде есть ещё одна сцена 18+, но как на неё выйти так и не понял. - Система достижений поломана. В ветки обсуждений сообщества автора уведомили примерно полгода назад о том что не получается открыть 3 достижения он пообещал их починить, но пропал так ничего и не исправив. - Персонажи. Ну это просто какой то позор. Сначала главный герой с ужасом описывает как у него не было абсолютно никаких отношений с женщинами больше года и одновременно с этим в первый же день после переезда в новый город к нему буквально все женщины универа сами подкатывают, знакомятся и дают свой номер телефона вот настолько он им всем нравится... При том что наш ГГ особо даже и не старается. - Диалоги. Впервые я наткнулся на новеллу в которой читать диалоги было прям мучительно больно. Может пориджы в Америках реально деграднули и общаются именно так, но я читая это регулярно ловил вайбы Томми Вайсо. И под конец я уже охреневал от происходящего но уже без негатива ) - Дизайн персонажей. Неиронично он неплох! Как по мне у девушек слишком много пирсинга на лице, но в целом всё смотрелось органично.[hr][/hr] Если авторы не бросят свою затею и начнут выпускать обновы на игру и закончат её, то может быть я её снова куплю и прочту этот фестиваль кринжа, но пока что лучше оформлю рефанд и верну свои деньги.

Ryckig och knyckigt, konstiga samtal, kort. Denna Vn skulle ligga i EA men den såldes som ett färdigt spel.. Nej jag kan inte rekommendera detta spel.. Brukar inte be om pengar tillbaka, så jag kommer bara att ta bort denna VN från min samling.. (32 min speltid för 13 eur :( )

Only 2 choices and they don't really seem to have any impact on story Enable SKIP UNSEEN Text and the story plays through in less than 5 minutes. NOT WORTH IT. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GAME.

3/10 Do buy. No choices, no sex, no real plot, it is a dead game.
