William's Love Prelude

As much as I wanted to like this game, it comes up short in too many aspects. First of all, I'll say what I liked. The art style, sprite work and illustrations are absolutely gorgeous, no joke. The characters are adorable but only in the visual department. While the gameplay is basic, it worked just fine for me. Its your typical JRPG turn-based battle stuff. Its functional. Now onto the dislikes. Unfortunately, most of the game comes up short. The writing is quite basic and dare I say juvenile at times, as if this is the creator's first time ever writing a story. The translation into English was, for the most part, alright. However, the overall story, character writing and dialogue left a lot to be desired. It seems like this premise would work better as a platformer rather than a JRPG. Add onto that the overall length of the game. Its barely 4 hours long! It simply isn't worth a full $10.00 with how much you get out of it. I'd say wait for this game to go on sale, but I've had this in my wishlist for several years now and I've never seen it go on sale at all... I didn't encounter many glitches or crashes during my playthrough, but it is something to note. Another thing is the enemy design. They look like they came from a different game! They're drawings while the party characters are sprites, and it clashes pretty badly. Overall, this game feels like what it's title suggests- a Prelude to something bigger that never comes. Its a short little adventure with a bit of charm and some cute character designs, but that's about it. Everything else about it is super basic, cliche, and unfortunately just not very memorable. 4/10

通过时间大约4小时，虽然角色很不错，但是剧情很宝宝巴士，bug实在太多，各种卡死闪退，而且没有即时存档，出问题直接寄

6/10 and the thing is, I think Will and Gustav should be the couple that have been together, since they always sleep together

Best furry rpg maker game that I ever played! It's so cute and lovely story~ <3

An rpgmaker game specifically geared for people who enjoy cute kemono style characters and simple RPGs, not much else to it really. The game is pretty short and the plot is pretty simple, if you have a few hours to kill and the art style appeals to you (honestly if you even found this game on steam I’d say it appeals to you) then you’ll probably want to at least check it out. The combat is simple and the equipment upgrading system is interesting enough but since it’s so short you can pretty much slap attack increasing items on everything and annihilate anything in your way the entire game. The environments feature lush, “default rpgmaker asset” forests and castles but they did a competent enough job with it I can forgive it. The music is pretty good for what it is, but when it comes to the sound effects I swear one of the menu select sounds is a fire alarm chirp. The things I can’t really forgive the game for I’d say is the fact it crashes every 10 minutes or so and the English translation is terrible, it’s not “beautiful duwang” tier terrible (honestly if it was that’d probably make it more entertaining) but it’s just pretty bad. All in all it’s okay and I mainly played through it because it’s just cool to see any kemono style indie games in any capacity come out and I’ll definitely support any I come across.
