About


“Onii-chan, you really are a lonely person.”
“Did you lose faith in me?”
“No. I love you, onii-chan.”
Unable to bear the ugliness of the world and terrified of other people, the protagonist develops the ability to read minds.
He shuts himself away and submits a light novel he wrote, which unexpectedly wins a newcomer’s award. But the jealousy and envy that follow only deepen his distrust of the few human relationships he still has. Those around him hurt his fragile heart without even realizing it.
His only remaining comfort is his younger sister, who lives with him.
Clinging to each other just to stay alive, the two sink night after night into a twisted, unhealthy codependency.
―I keep living alone, talking about my own prejudices and cursing the world. Day after day.
I ripped off Dostoevsky, half-assed it into something modern, and turned it into a light-novels.
I mean, I tried. In my own stupid way.
Had the heroines talk about “existentialism” like it was supposed to mean something.
The gameplay is an old-school, straight-up classic visual novel. The text fills the entire screen, so read as much as you want—or just right-click to hide it and enjoy the art. That’s it. Read, click, and vibe.
Live through a gloomy, suffocating real world through an overly sensitive protagonist… then come home and savor the only happiness left in his life: the time he spends with his little sister, his one true comfort.
As the friction with the people around you keeps piling up, there’ll be moments when their petty thoughts make you feel actual murderous rage. And in those moments, you can use your mind-reading ability to drive them to suicide.
That snide bastard. That arrogant asshole. Hit them right where it hurts—right in the deep-seated insecurities they never want anyone to see—and take them out. It’s not like you’re killing them with your own hands, so you won’t get caught. The ones truly at fault are the tasteless, mindless conformists who do nothing but obey society without a shred of aesthetic sense.
…But is that really okay?
What is happiness, anyway?
And in the end—what kind of future will the protagonist and his sister walk into?

符合我对小众文艺哲学精神病阴湿男的刻板印象
相信我最可爱的妹妹。
Coming with no expectations (not familiar with NSO), I had a good time reading this. The art, audio and overall presentation are of high quality and have a distinctive design. The writing is simple and easy to read, yet thought-provoking and expressive where it matters - a pleasant balance. As many have mentioned, the side chars feel shallow compared to what we're used to in VNs, but I wouldn't necessarily call it a bad thing - the story is focused on the MC, while others mostly drive the exposition, which is justified when the work is deliberately scoped. There are issues with the controls (activating menu items with a gamepad also progresses the text) and UI (sometimes it's not clear who is the author of which text), but nothing too distracting. A solid and interesting work overall - recommended if you're into psycho/dark/existential stuff.

MC wanted senpai`s cookie so bad
牡丹那篇太对电波,可惜结局和其他的几章都差不少意思
세계최고의 도스토옙스키와 회전목마 성애자 냐루라
非常辛辣的作品,nyalra的巨魔人格发力了。虽然文字质量很高,但篇幅太短难以传递观点,不过相对的保证了刺激度也是教人难以割舍。总体来说非常有意思的游戏,nyalra可别把这个称作遗书了(笑),期待下一作
真是一场酣畅淋漓的赤石啊!怎么说呢,您将自己的聪明才智,变成了一部可怕的精神病史,我大概就这个感觉。 如果把几个角色看作是主角分裂出来的自我,每个人都代表他的一部分欲望和社会认同,那我会觉得这个内容其实挺有可取之处的,甚至同样作为一个社会不适者我有时候会很想说一句天哪这sb简直是我,但是叙事和剧情真有点幽默,后期唐突发疯给我看笑了。作者想要做一部优秀的电波作还需要再打磨一下自己的剧本和文字演出,毕竟VN最基本的还是故事要讲好。看得出结局明显致敬素晴,但是因为剧情太短转折也很生硬显得非常割裂,而且妹在本作里根本就是一个几乎0塑造,试图自我博弈但因为太过懦弱所以只能做回血点的存在,救赎感甚至不如黄毛线#烂人真心 当然,我相信您必然能做出成功的第二作的,毕竟您是位大作家呢(
As someone who enjoys nyalra's work I really liked this VN. Though it's definitely NOT for everyone and I can see why most people found this boring. It's more like a collection of author's hatred towards people and how ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the world is, which ends up in resignment. It's similar to what he attempted to convey with the NSO anime. My sole disappointment are that it was really short, and it wasn't marketed correctly. I would like it if we got to know the characters more. Their deaths were also highly predictable. I don't know if nyalra was going for shock value or show us that the MC didn't care about it by the circus-like bgm that played during their deaths. It generally would have been better if the story were dragged on more. About the marketing, the little sister was so hyped you'd think she plays a bigger role in the story. She's just there to show us that the MC has one singular person he cares about amidst all that misanthropy. Not a love interest, and not an object of lust. All in all, it's definitely not perfect as a traditional VN, it's more like a short literary work. Though in the current era no one wants to hear about misery and complaints. Though as even nyalra himself stated this is not meant to cater to the popular trends, instead a completely self-indulgent work. TL;DR if you want to understand nyalra and generally like his work, read it
