DEEMO -Reborn-

10/10 ♥️ I went in not knowing what to expect and ended up absolutely loving this game. The story, music, puzzles… EVERYTHING was amazing. The music especially was beautiful and made the whole experience so much better. I genuinely enjoyed every second of it. Such a beautiful game. I’m really glad I played it :)

I remember plsying this game when it first came out in 2-D years ago. It is very realxing and really nice. The only issue I have with it is that the calibration dosn't change the speed to the music and notes line up... the first day it lined up perfectly, and ever since then when I play its whole seconds off and i don't know if there is another way to calibrate it that I don't know about, or if its an app thing, or what. Anycase, I'd still recommend this game and I still play it, I just hope that this sorts itself out at some point.

Casual 6K /w Simple Gimmick Rhythm Game It has puzzles and a story. The story is simple but good. AFAIK No online leaderboards so its as hard as you want to make it yourself. Very chill good vibes game. Do recommend, good entry game for casual players imho. Default keybinds for the rhythm game are a bit sus, recommend asd l;' space or asd 456 if you have a numpad

键盘体验糟糕至极............未能还原出原作的气质

Спустя столько лет, как я купил игру, наконец-то напишу обзор(ну типа). Обожаю эту игру и надеюсь вторую часть тоже когда-нибудь выпустят на пк.

めちゃくちゃ楽しめました。「marigold」が楽曲としてあれば最高でした。

打了20h也算是全成就了。也是致敬雷亚经典启蒙音游了，虽然其实是cytus啦。重生的话场景还是蛮还原的，解密上会有点难，而且不能一次性一个房间全部探索完，还需要后期的道具去解开，就会有点绕。不过还是蛮有意思的。彩蛋也很多。玩法上是下落式6k，如果是4k玩家的话我是觉得可以试试看，熟悉键位后还是很容易上手的。（其实我也是4k入来的）。谱面上的话，主要是原作曲子，但是没有看到《Sakura Iro No Yume》（樱花色的梦）还是蛮难过的。阳台场景还原了原作，还有望远镜配置好道具后能看到粉色樱花树，要是能把这首曲子放回来就好了。（恼）最后，Hans很温柔，Alice也很可爱。哥妹万岁！！！~\(≧▽≦)/~

DEEMO -Reborn- has a phenomenal OST but my biggest takeaway after finishing the campaign was "Who is the target audience?" The puzzles were not in the original mobile game and some of them are rather annoying, it made me quit the game for half a year until I recently came back to it so I could finish the story. The puzzles also kind of spoil the game for you, so about halfway in, you can kind of tell what's going on so the big reveal at the end doesn't really hit hard. The model for the little girl is a bit... well, I'm happy that they changed her face in the movie. Speaking of the ending, right before a certain scene happens, you're prompted to play a very corny sounding original song that wasn't there in every other version of the game. I think this is my least favorite change out of everything they did, and a big thing they did was remove a lot of songs due to either licensing (I'm assuming) or scandals (V.K. was accused of plagiarizing music so he is no longer affiliated with Rayark Inc. and thus does not appear in -Reborn- while being present in every other edition of DEEMO) As for the rhythm game, the charts aren't too difficult. It's a bit awkward to watch the charts have tons of yellow slide notes, they were meant for you to drag your finger around on mobile, but because you can't do that on PC, you're left to stare at the screen while you hold down the space bar until you're allowed to play again. There is a DLC called the Forgotten Hourglass that adds a higher difficulty as well as allows for replayability, but it's also not present in -Reborn-. I think this version of the game needed it the most compared to all of them because of the limitations that not having a touch screen provides. Putting that aside, I wouldn't call it a bad game. It's more of an experience than a game, and I believe I came out unsatisfied because I have played the mobile and PSVita editions rather than because this game alone was lacking. If you can't play the original game, I'd recommend this game but ONLY if you want an aesthetic more than a rhythm game. If you want a game like Dankagu or KALPA, don't even bother with this one.
