I Write Games Not Tragedies

A fantastic game, plenty of nostalgia for us millenials (even if you didn't have a full emo phase!) The artstyle is cute and the story is well written. Plenty of emotionally raw moments and even if it doesn't match your experiences exactly I think it can make you think of similar times and connect. Some very emotional moments which made me pause for awhile which I love finding in games like these. The rhythm game elements were simple but fun and not too difficult to do well on so ideal for someone like me who isn't great at them! Overall a great game, it seems a little on the short side but I haven't tried to get the other endings yet. Easily worth recommending though, great game overall :)

Being a teenage was a simpler time, wasn't it? From the get-go, I Write Games not Tragedies gripped me with it's heartfelt storytelling that was painfully familiar of my younger years. The emo art aesthetic is a real throwback, taking a sort of sketchy style that feels like a personal journal. The dialogue exchanged by Ash and his companions were also reminiscent of the silly banter teenage me would have blurted out among friends. Though half of the time I was going "Ash nooooo" or "Aww, Ash"... The writing made me feel for him and want to be there for him. The songs were fun to engage with and added an interesting interactive element to the gameplay, but your performance does not impact the story too much. I've yet to unlock the endings but I look forward to it!

特别好的一款游戏，剧情立意美术音乐上都是。本人在此之前不是很了解emo kid此类亚文化，性别和性取向和主角也不同，但玩完还是很感动地流下（借用邱妙津的话）如赤子般悲悯无依的泪水。因为说实话一部好的作品是能够重建文化的巴别塔使人类情感回归本真的共情的。再者而言很好地反映了欧美（或者说全球）LGBT+青少年多多少少会遇到的一些困境。把青春的凌乱与真挚也表现得很好，也是很文艺的一种情感基调吧。总而言之非常推荐青少年与文青来玩。

A fantastically unique and poignant visual novel (with rhythm-based mini-games) about a teenage emo's coming-of-age story filled with sketchbook graphics, secondary school drama, and millennial goth angst without going cringe. Overall a great experience, thought it was well-written with satisfying narrative branches!

与音游玩法结合的视觉小说，音游部分用歌词作为音符的展现形式很有表现力，还增加了很有意思的咆哮模式，但音游部分的画面有一些误导，可能玩起来不是特别顺手，打击感不是很强。 故事方面，游戏以“emo”为主题，描绘了艾什这个人在青春期和成年后的生活。我个人对于“emo”文化了解不是很多，唯一的认知是网络用语的那个意思。但是在这款游戏里我通过艾什的生活与朋友音乐接触的过程中，稍微有那么感受到了一点点“emo”文化。游戏的流程不长，一周目大概一个小时就能完成，音游也貌似只有三首，但是有多种结局，可以对不同的朋友展现不同的世界观和态度。在游戏中还有一个调查问卷可以测试自己是乐队中的哪个成员。 整体来看还是一个很有意思的视觉小说作品，对emo文化感兴趣可以考虑游玩。 [code] No Responsibility Review，只根据个人喜好进行评测： [url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36266776-NRR233] 无责任评测[/url][/code]
