Sona-Nyl of the Violet Shadows Refrain

I think repetition as a stylistic tool can truly have its merit, enhancing the impact of the narration, themes, everything, and offering an experience that could be seen almost as more *kinetic*, I was really reluctant about how Sona-Nyl used repetitions at first because it's like... right at the start, I think it should win you over first before going through text that felt more like... less capable ? Of maintaining a fresh prose. Ah, but thankfully the text itself is beautiful, and with a little push by the wonderful art and soundtrack, it can really win you over. It serves as a reminder of the themes too, every reinterpretation of the words was like a true *remembrance* of, well.. you know. But it can only work because the world, and the words are so full of wonder, of creativity, it's one of these "I want to see/I want to experience what is coming next" thingie, never in a plot-sense (for me) but for the sake of it... I think it can be a big hit-or-miss, but, for such a charming, metaphor-heavy journey, I'm quite saddened by the fact that it only has 20 reviews!!!!

[h2]蒸汽朋克系列的第五作，充满奇幻色彩的伦敦[/h2] 《紫影的索纳尼尔 ～何等美好的记忆》是由MangaGamer发行骗子社制作的悬疑冒险类型的视觉小说，游戏作为蒸汽朋克系列第五作。游戏充满了幻想，奇幻元素，游戏以莉莉和A，还有米莉亚的故事分别推进游戏剧情。游戏目前没有中文，需要我们进行民汉覆盖，实测可以。 第一次游玩骗子社的作品，给我留下了很不错的印象，游戏将角色的心理活动也进行配音，游戏的地方位于伦敦，但如今的伦敦早已变成了异世界的魔都。大量的奇怪元素，豹猫，纯白之物，武装娼女，黑色半巨人，众多的奇幻元素很快吸引住了我。同时游戏中有很多中二的话语，怎么说呢，对我来说游戏的魅力很大，感觉酷炫并且帅气。 主角少女感十足和A天生一对。本作的CG并不色，静态。但是中间有这大量的内容，用来描述角色的内心活动，原本大量的文案可能导致游戏变得无聊，但骗子社前面解决了这一点，用大量的奇幻元素搭配巧妙的叙述手法，反而会让玩家更好的沉浸其中。 游戏采用线性叙事，整体流程20小时左右，游戏前期出现的各种设定可能让玩家应接不暇，但只要度过了前面，就够看到后面华丽的战斗和反转的剧情了。配乐，美术，文本都在线的作品。剧情就看玩家的喜好了，推荐喜欢奇幻战斗类型视觉小说的玩家入手。 [quote] 关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44791929/]游戏好声音[/url]，认真品味好游戏，倾听游戏好声音。 [/quote]

Real reading time: 16:34 - the music is amazing so it was used as BGM while doing some other things on my computer... Review: I'd recommend this to most readers wanting a story based game. This is just a beautiful story. It's emotionally resonant while not being preachy. It's a story of an immense journey through finding oneself. It's a journey to the violet horizon. I do feel obligated to warn you though: this is not a purely happy journey, there is some real drama here. It's a bit of a heavy read at times due to this. Lily and Elysia are both well written characters and both of them are touching in their own ways. I found myself at multiple points through the story wishing for their happiness and the success of their journey. I rarely get invested into stories as much as this one. The art is gorgeous - as is most Liar-soft titles - and the music is atmospheric and wonderful. There is quite a bit of repeated text. It is repeated for emphasis, so it is not without its purpose, and your opinion of it may differ from mine a bit, but I found it to be used smartly, although by the end of the story I was beginning to get very tired of the repeated phrases and text. There are also some minor pacing issues, primarily a few chapters drag out a bit where one in particular feels rushed. Like I said though, it's really minor, and doesn't negatively impact the story too much. Overall I'd highly recommend this visual novel to those wishing to read a touching story. At the same point don't go into this expecting a purely happy story either. So take from that what you will.

量大管饱，要是支持简中更好。

[h1]电波系作品，无中文，建议谨慎！[/h1] 首先这部作品画风确实萌萌的，非常少女梦幻，加上日语配音软软的挺喜欢，但蒸汽朋克的世界观+偏向诗意的文案可能看起来略显催眠（目前只有英文）。乙女向，乙女向，乙女向，重要的事情说3遍。 基本围绕Elysia和Lily的故事，一个在纽约废墟，一个在紫罗兰色天空的地下世界。坦白来说废墟那段有点少女终末内味了.......反正差不多那个感觉吧。 喜欢Fate那种蒸汽朋克的倒是比较值得推荐，开局没多久的几个机械生物那是味盖不住一点，是也，是樱井光的作品。就是比较需要注意文本重复和咏叹调的问题，这部属于无敌量大管饱类型（但英文部分没有刻意用很晦涩的用语也是非常好了 或者不妨等到加入中文看看？ [quote][b]关注→[/b][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/32969453/][b]大众点评鉴赏家[/b][/url] [b]新游速递 | 游戏评测 | 周免资讯[/b] [b]加入→[/b][url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/dzdp][b]大众点评交流组[/b][/url] [b]心得交流 | 试玩资格 | 聊天吹水[/b][/quote]

Absolute cinema

《紫影的索纳尼尔 ～何等美好的记忆～》是 Liar-Soft 蒸汽朋克系列的第五部作品，剧本由桜井 光操刀的蒸汽朋克系列，参与过Fate stay night REMASTERED，Fate/EXTELLA等作品。她的作品风格以华丽的文笔、浓厚的文艺气息、意识流叙事著称，Liar-Soft 的蒸汽朋克系列（又叫“美丽系列” / What a Beautiful 系列）目前正史共 8 部作品，其中 6 部是已经发售的游戏，1 部是小说，1 部是尚未发售的游戏。 [h3] 剧情 [/h3] 5 年前，也就是1902年，纽约消失了。在这个废墟都市，被蒸汽与迷雾笼罩，这里没有阳光，天空早已变得灰蒙蒙，世界被分为了“地上”与“地下”。故事用两个女主的视角讲述，艾莉西亚·温特沃斯与莉莉，游戏文本略有重复，但只要能对上电波，揭开...... [h3] 优点 [/h3] 骗子社向来以雅致的文本和意识流叙述手法闻名业界，在本作中你可以看见诗歌一般的断句，配乐融合爵士、哥特等元素，错综复杂的叙事结构与浓厚的文艺气息，可以说剧情，画风，BGM上比较优秀，质量非常高的视觉小说。 [h3]缺点 [/h3] 全年龄而且无官中，不过倒是可以通过覆盖来解决，把启动程序修改为Sona-Nyl.exe就行，全屏有黑边，也不能使用steam自带截图，因为是2010年的游戏了，23上的steam，这部分可以通过magpie来进行窗口放大和截图 [h3] 总结 [/h3] 本作的游玩时间大概是20h左右，美术风格为紫色神秘幻想，极具艺术表现力，拥有量大管饱的CG和全场景日配，剧情围绕两位女主角——艾莉西亚·温特沃斯与莉莉——展开，她们各自踏上了不同却又交织的旅程，游戏没有选项和分支，为什么要游玩本作？这是找回自我的过程，也是重新理解“人”的意义。 [table][td]欢迎关注鉴赏家[url= https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45519015/]“无趣评测”[/url][/td][/table]

虽然想打差评，但考虑再三，最终还是给个好评吧。 本作有汉化补丁，我用的是汉化版直接替换本体。但因为分辨率过低，文本中诵读的诗篇上的注释大都看不清。 用magpie超分，总体能看清五分之二左右，配合剧情中的文段、章末华盛顿邮报的勘定伪段、绘本，基本能反推注释。 文本存在大量重复的描写片段，即便文辞优美华丽，阅读仍显得极尽繁冗驳杂，中途会感到无聊至极。 至于“蒸汽朋克”这一词条，游玩后发现基本无关， BGM还不错。
