Addicting best sums it up
Never played a VN before so expectations
were low, but the voice acting was good but the music 🎶 was superb and there was just enough player interaction to make you feel like you were a key character in the story
Good so far, minus 1 annoyance.
The overall production value seems great and the narrative intriguing enough to make me sant to continue to see where it all goes.
I love the anime aesthetic and (overly, probably) familiar characters/ tropes, even if some of the voice acting could've used some more work or another take or two.
That said, though everything seems great, I still HATE how you have to keep pressing the trigger to keep conversations going, rven if you have it set to your language and have subtitles turned off!
It takes me out of whats going on, and occasionally I accidentally SKIP whats being said due to a pause in the character's line or slip of the finger. I also HAVE to keep subtitles turned on so as to know better when to press the trigger to continue.
THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING FROM NON-VR VISUAL NOVELS THAT NEEDED TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO VR!
Just like in RuinsMagus, there should be an option to make the spoken conversations carry on completely automatically if you want them to (as it SHOULD be), and I wish this team had added it to their titles.
Interesting
The story is really good and interesting. I usually don't play more than 3 playthroughs even though I really like it. This though makes you feel addicted and want to play over and over to get the whole story.
Great game
I love it!
Don’t get the wrong idea.
First of all, this is NOT an action game. This is a VISUAL NOVEL. I can sort of see why some reviewers gave 1 star, but they definitely aren’t appreciating it for what it REALLY is.
Also, if anyone’s asking WHO would even buy this VN for 39.99… ME. I WOULD BUY THIS.
MINOR SPOILERS
I love visual novels. I mostly play them on flat screen, but this experience made me want to only experience them in VR. I really liked the Ariadne feature to go back and forth, and the different choices and endings you could see.
Although it’s more of a “cutscene”, the mech fights were actually epic, having the perspective of being in the pilot seat.
The character models are also really well done, I love all of their designs. The military uniform on all characters is very fashionable.
ALSO MYDEAREST, THE MUSIC IS AMAZING. Absolute peak. I will be adding its OST to my playlist heheh.
Suggestions…
The only thing I have to say that I’d want in any future title is a calendar system, it’s always made visual novels more immersive even on flatscreen. So imagine in VR with characters you interact with…
I loved the story, characters, music, the UI, everything!!! I hope to see more from you guys, MyDearest. See you at the end.. or the beginning?
Not what was advertised.
Not an action game. Wasted my time hoping for cool mech fights I'd actively participate in. Spent 40$ on a "game" that's more cutscene than video game and I can't return it. Really frustrating considering that 40$ could've gone to a VR game I'd really enjoy.
