Clear Skye Thinking

A very nice (but unfortunately very short) story I would be happy about a second part where the two meet again and can live their love together :)

Clear Skye Thinking is the newest visual novel published on steam by Ebi hime. In it, we are joining on the journey of the main Heroine, that is visiting the island of Skye with her father. I quite enjoy the trip across UK, that Ebi is taking us on, with her novels. Unfortunately, the enthusiasm is not shared, by the protagonists of the story. First poor Lillac and now Alice. They hate it. >.< What I do not hate, are the characters of the story. Starting with the Alice, the main character of CST we can see, that the author put plenty of thought, into creating the actors of this “tragic” (for Alice) play. She immediately caught my interest and didn’t dissuade it, further along the line. Taking into consideration, that the story is not that long (50k words ~4-5h of reading), the protagonists offer quite a bit of depth. They are interesting, unique and they play their role perfectly. The story of this novel is quite simple. If you have already read the synopsis, then you know basically what is going on. It doesn’t however make it bad. I would lie, if I said that the story is mind blowing, or life changing, but it’s without a doubt enjoyable and simply fun. That is what games and Vns are for right? Fun! However, it’s not only thing that Visual novels are. They can also be seen, as a kind of art. And speaking of art (Darn I am really smooth with those transitions); The art of the story is amazing, both character and background artist did phenomenal job. It looks professional and pristine. I really wouldn’t be able to find a thing, to complain, if it comes to visuals. Visuals are one side of thing, but the other are of course music and SFX. Those were really pleasing and I would say, that I can see the improvement across the many VN’s, that the author presented before. All of the above mentioned things blend in perfectly and make the story more enjoyable. Simply putting it’s doing it’s job. Overall the story is enjoyable and well deserving of R:80/100
