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?
Witness it with your own eyes.

最好的结局毫无疑问是被使用ChatGPT炒股赚钱归来的给给包养
某种意义上的满分神作,只能说太敢写了,cg跟故事一样猎奇,没想到画风可爱画这么血腥,完全就是讽刺社会人际关系的黑暗系作品,文笔也很有特色,演出也是算精彩的那一档,每个人的背景都会变化还是动态的很用心啊,把每个人的特征和情感都写的很棒。一开始感觉自己和男主性格差不多,后面感觉还是他更畜生一点,自己爸妈都不放过 不敢说必推吧,因为这游戏先入库的大多数是前作直播女孩那种喜欢萌系带点黑暗元素的人,看到妹妹这么卡哇伊牛魔的不都秒入库,结果一上来就是压抑黑暗看不到头了我草泥马,玩到后面感觉我自己都是只蛆👍确实有水平啊,受众的人肯定会比较喜欢这作 这游戏不火评价又没想象中这么好,感觉完全是因为感觉被欺诈了,妹妹感觉纯纯吉祥物来的,结局妹妹线才稍微有点写妹妹的感觉,结局还有gay线我也是绷不住了,中间也一直强调男主作为作家实在不想写女人,我看是作者自己共鸣了

ギャラリー全開放されてないですがとりあえずクリアしたので感想です。 おすすめしません。 作者の方がどのような方なのかは知りませんが、ゲームの文体はとにかく捻くれていて、斜に構えた嫌な性格の主人公の主観で語られるので合わない人にとってはとにかく不快です。ギフトとして頂いたゲームだったので一応一周しましたが、グラフィック全開放のためにこのゲームのテキストを読むのはしんどいです。自分で買ってたら返金してると思います。 アートの質が高いのが逆に悪質で、悪趣味な本作をそれなりの作品っぽくむりやり押し上げています。 あと妹要素をかなり推しているように見えますが妹萌えとか共依存とかを求めて買うと肩透かしを食らうと思います。
hasuya and hiyakawa yaoi when ... I need my toxic E4 buddies to do something really nice.. really, really nice....
玩了新作现在已经深信这位完全是没有才能的人了 离开了专业公司营造作品氛围,他自己做的东西真的啥也不是,之前被扒的推上的一些言论现在我也是相信这确实就是本人特色了 鬼知道当初这人被WSS踢出去了我还转了很多信息打抱不平,现在都不知道到底有几句真话 男主作为作者皮套,搬运大量文学作品话题展开却离不开繁殖交配,指点资本的同时又嘲笑普通劳动者,认为人这辈子不升华自己的生命就毫无价值,瞧不起普通文艺工作者认为苦难才会诞生文学,却又觉得世间的批评全是人云亦云,高高在上引用佛教概念却知行不一,愤世嫉俗小肚鸡肠。 看不起人类的普通情情爱爱却要把地雷女吐舌头翻白眼漏尿画一个超长CG,完全就是毫无哲学文学功底纯纯乱叫的嘉豪一枚。 隐藏HE突然出国旅了个游就被净化了,狗叫了几个篇幅的资本,很清醒吧? 最后二周目直接被AI炒股的哥们儿接走了(唉,资本!) 妹妹起到一个什么作用?这tm还没有垃圾手游开局屏幕旁边的寻路小精灵有存在感,就只会说我懂你的忧郁深沉我知道你是一个缺爱的男孩儿,没关系哥哥我爱你 呃……你和你笔下描述那学长的区别是? 当然有人会说,其实最后nyalra是在通过暗喻一直骂自己伤害自己呀~大家快来看穿它的脆弱呀…… 我就直说了,去了那么多国家,在向日葵里净化心灵,很神圣吧?但你笔下的普通劳动者一辈子都没有资源环游世界。 市场也是残酷的,同样你文中那些亚文化女粉丝和coser就是不会追随你一辈子的。 哪怕给自己叠甲这也是不争的事实,你就是一个写不出第二本书的东西。 *我也叠个甲,主播女孩没火之前就购买通关,后续DLC成就第一时间补完 国内快闪消费不多但也差不多3K+ 但是就这个东西,玩家付30块钱当nyalra情绪垃圾桶,CG没几个还要看成名赚钱之后的全球旅游照片,何异味? 还好意思和海馆一起捆绑包卖,不要拉低海馆的档次了
most boring vn ive ever played
I wouldn't recommend SOP for someone looking for a typical game experience as the player interaction you see in the trailer is pretty much all of it and it isn't wholly "enjoyable"*, however as a traditional VN I think the game absolutely kills it. The nihilism of the MC is depressing but really helps you empathise with him and contrasts well with the other characters and their various personalities - especially the little sister, who serves as a foil to the MC, and who genuinely feels like a relief to talk to after having to suffer (in a good way) through the equally messed-up characters. I love how her presence dominates the game through the writing, text, and art (you can really feel how much she means to the MC) but I do wish we could've seen more of her. The game is regrettably short but it's easily forgiven as the first game of a new team and for only $10 USD. It feels wrong to praise the music as my favourite thing since SOP is mostly a labour of love from nyalra (creator of Needy Girl Overdose), but Aiobahn's** themes - uniquely dissonant for each character in a way that reflects their flaws - creates the perfect atmosphere and are just earworms in general. Beautiful and confronting art by Ohisashiburi** too. Not for everyone but if you're a VN fan who really wants to get immersed I'd defenitely buy SOP *It's more about immersion than "fun" in the minigame sense, which is fine and works for this game anyway, just don't expect in depth interaction/choice **Also both from NEEDY
[h1]读心本是最温柔的能力,却被开发出最卑劣的用法 [/h1] 明明直面自己的内心是不需要读心的,却还要通过审判他人来为自己获得优越感。其他角色们确实不是正人君子,但他们的内心也并非只有恶意,更不能代表所有人。男主人公偏偏执着于在大量平凡无害甚至善良的想法中精心挑选出自己想看到的恶意,以此证明人类和社会的丑恶,这真的算是高明吗?更有意思的是,其他角色即便没有读心的能力,也能切实感受到来自男主人公的恶意。 本作是和主播女孩一样极具冲击力的的作品,在该同类游戏的表现上已接近上限,但遗憾的是矫揉造作的剧情拉低了综合水准,使其最终沦为一部拉跨的文青作品。剧情向作品一定要有好剧情啊。
Denpa, pure and simple. Go out and face the darkness of the world, then at the end of the day come home to your sanctuary- your little sister. The art is beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised by the detail of the violent scenes. The soundtrack is very fun to listen to, my favorite track being Onii-chan’s Theme
Il faut savoir apprécier le travail d'écriture de nyalra pour pleinement profiter de ce VN. J'ai personnellement adoré de par le fait que j'apprécie déjà ses articles de blog et que ce jeu est un condensé de sa signature. Nyalra sait placer des mots et des images sur la nature humaine et ses émotions, sans hésiter à dénoncer ou extrapoler l'absurdité de notre société. C'est une courte expérience philosophique et symbolique mêlée à de la critique du monde moderne, plus particulièrement axée sur la place des artistes et en devenir. Pour en profiter pleinement je dirais qu'il est intéressant de faire un travail de recherche de par le fait que l'auteur fait de nombreuses références à d'autres oeuvres que soit d'autres écrivains, la religion ou les oeuvres d'art graphiques. Pour le gameplay, on est sur un Visual novel classique, avec des embranchements quasi inexistants (pas que ça m'en déplaise) et à l'exception du fait que chaque segment de route doit être avancé via un lobby (panopticon). Pour les OSTs, notre cher Aiobahn est aux commandes, cela ne peut que être bon. Je trouve qu'elles ne sont pas aussi extravagantes que dans Needy Girl, mais elles ont le mérite d'êtres chouettes et parfois osées (Le theme de Botan si on m'avait dit que c'était Aiobahnn derrière j'y aurais jamais cru) La patte graphique est très jolie et assortie au genre, on voit qu'il y a eu beaucoup de travail derrière les character-designs et les interfaces. Pour ce qui est de bug, j'en ai rencontré un mais étant donné que je ne sais pas où le signaler le voici : Il est impossible de quitter le menu de save lors du monologue de la chrysalide. Pas bien méchant. Pour résumer ce fut un bon mais court VN par nyalra, il faut aimer le genre psychological et la patte de l'auteur (qui vont sans doute ensemble).
