Well, it's just the first Episode but sadly the devs abandoned the game. So I guess it's not worth to buy. But I'll leave a thumbs up for the great music, art and short story. 7/10
The first (and only) episode and it's very good. Protagonist is adorable, UI is well done and fluent, music is exactly what it needs to be, eye-pleasing artstyle and I'm in love with the setting of future world non-violence utopia and the idea of 'fixing' foreign worlds. One of few games that I can tell it was crafted with love. It's a real shame it was abandoned

The art and music is wonderful and the premise is very interesting. Unfortunately, it is merely a prologue to what should have been a bigger story, and the story will probably never come to be because the studio is no more. Id say go download Juniper's Knot, which is a free short visual novel made by the same people if you want to get a feel for the art and music in this game which are definitely its strongest points and see if its worth 5 dollars or whatever it might be on sale for another 2 hours of it.
You know it's gonna be wonderful adventure when in first 10 seconds you're assaulted by tumblr artsyle and no-sound no-music pinnacle of renpy engineering.
Гарна і цікава історія яка тільки но почалася, але навіть ні до чого не привела. Напевно можна поставити середню/нейтральну оцінку. Брати й читати тільки на знижках і коли не хочеться занурюватись у щось велике(хоча тут історія має потенціал).
It's not worth $5, I'll say that much. Most of my playtime was from me leaving the game running and doing other things, it's only 1-2 hours. It's basically just the prologue. It's extremely unfortunate this was abandoned. It had so much potential and what little is there is interesting. I wanted to dive deep into this world, but there's nothing more. This is it. I think the company even went out of business? No update on their website since 2020. I'm sure COVID took its toll. I doubt this will ever be finished, but it really is a shame. The main character is cute, and I loved how the relationships were developing. I desperately wanted to see more, especially of how things went with Cyrus, but... Oh well. Guess I'll have to see if there's any fanfics I can read instead.
Chega desses imundos recomendar jogos por conquistas. Esse aqui nem vale a pena. A história é bem tosca e cansativa, movimentos repetidos e falas também, os mesmos desenhos dos personagens se repetem, a personagem principal então, nem se fala. Esperava mais pelos comentários. Se em um primeiro capítulo foram esse tanto de falas, imagina se terminassem o jogo. Deve ser por isso que desistiram.
Abandoned Unfortunately without a sequel.
Верните саундтрэк к покупке! Я брал игру исключительно из-за него. Хорошо, что на старом ноуте, ещё под линем, у меня есть OST в mp3 и flac. Размножил на всех своих носителях, чтоб не потерять: на диктофоне, двух флэшках, двух ноутах, смартфоне. Требую вернуть, оно стоит того! Очень классная музыка, кайфую от неё, под неё и работается хорошо. %) П. С. Оказывается, сейчас мода на впихивание OST прямо в папку с игрой. Раньше это было за отдельную денежку и попадало в отдельную библиотеку стима с музыкой. Я как раз оттуда запускаю встроенным в стим медиаплеером проигрыш музыки. С одной стороны классно, что не нужно переплачивать за OST (хотя какие там переллаты, теперь всё включено %) ), с другой - теперь нужно выдёргивать музыку вручную и запускать другим плеером. Не смертельно, и даже норм, просто внутренние механизмы стима в таком случае не работают. В любом случае отзыв положительный. )
I really want to recommend this, but I can't simply because it will never be completed. I really enjoyed Juniper's Knot and what little came out of Dysfunctional Systems, but it's hard to tell someone to pay for unfinished potential. It's a shame, but it's how life goes. Dischan Games made some beautiful, incomplete games and I'm happy I got to play them.
