I know that it seems that I have abandoned this blog. But please rest assured, I still need this blog to share my passion about game and other things. It's been a long time since I finished visual novel game. That game is 9-nine episode 1. Maybe from the name, you can infer that this game will have several episodes. But don't worry you can still enjoy this game separately.
You can find about 9-nine episodes 1 summary using wikipedia. Basically 9-nine episodes 1 is game with magic and fantasy theme. It is chunige. The story itself is quite ordinary. But of course like every other chunige game, the point lie in the execution. Personally for me one of the reason that I choose game to play is the art and story. And I can say that art in this game doesn't disappoint. I mean the game really put the efforts to make great arts. I cannot say that it's that "real" but still quite good. The characters itself is quite good. I mean cliche and yet also not cliche. I can say that I like certain characters better than others. The song itself is quite ordinary. I don't remember anything special that I want to download and listen repeatedly. Despite not so good song, I appreciate that you can choose to hear main characters voice. It makes the game more enjoyable.
As with any my chosen visual novel game, the most important part is the story. Personally I really like the story. It was genuinely interesting. It tries to create engaging story that keep our interest. Unfortunately because of the setting, this game only serves as the prologue for subsequent episodes. That's the reason why developer choose that kind of name. So, player will know that the story is not over. They even make third wallpaper for the subsequent episodes but you cannot play the game with that wallpaper because well the game has not been made yet. It functions like teaser. Talk about tricking people LOL.
Anyway, despite all of it, I still recommend this game for chunige lovers. But for people who want to play the game from the beginning until the end of story better wait until all the episodes have been released. I give this game 7 stars rating because it was quite short.
You hurt me and left me behind With life full of sorrows I know I really was broken You broke me Thorough and thorough With nothing but hollow inside Cannot feel and yet full of pain
You warned me
I ignored
I was flooded with my imagination
Beliving myself
that I was living my dream
A dream that lead me to nothing
A void dream that give me
hopelessness
Now I am sitting alone
looking at the sky with contrite heart
realizing I have to live with the consequences
I just finished playing game Island by Frontwing. I can say that I am really happy and satisfied with this game. At first I thought this game is just your typical moege. But it turns out like Himawari Sunflower by Frontwing too. I don't know what kind of genre this game is. It looks like combination between romance and science fiction. Anyway, let start for it.
Island tell the story about a man named Setsuna that washed ashore at Urashima Island without his memory. With him, there's CD with the tittle Island. In that island there's also a girl named Rinne. What's more there's a sad legend about people name Setsuna and Rinne. They love each other. Unfortunately since they are family, it is forbidden relationship. So, witch curse Rinne and Setsuna have to find way to break Rinne from the curse. Coincidence ?! You have to play the game to find the answer for that.
I really like this game because it involved time travel and time paradox. I mean I really learn a lot about it whether it is true or not. Anyway, there are several routes that you can choose in this game. You have to finish the first two route which is Karen route and Sara route before you can play Rinne route. After that you can play Winter route. The last, you can play mid summer route to get the True Ending. If I have to choose I really like Rinne route and Winter route. Maybe because it's the most heartbreaking one.
Anyway, as expected from Frontwing, the story, art, music, and voice acting are top notch. The characters are quite lively. I really like all of them even annoying one like Karen's father. Unfortunately, the ending itself is quite little weak. I mean there are many mystery but at the end there is still things I don't understand. You have to try to understand it by yourself. But maybe it's also one of its biggest strength because it's a mystery. Anyway, I really like this game. It's really heartbreaking and touching. There is one OST I really like. Its name is Power Out of Pain. Unfortunately, I cannot give the link for OST because I cannot find it on Youtube. Hope someone will upload for it soon.
I really recommend this game for people whom like romance and science fiction genre. But it can be a little heavy because it's quite long. So, for newbie, I suggest to find lighter game first. For information, there is also anime adaption for about 13 episodes. But I don't know which route they will adapt for the story.
I want to change fate Break free from the chains of past Even when the whole world against us Shattering me into pieces I only want to see her smile Free her from the curse Wading through thousands of years Searching for happiness My hands were tainted Living an unforgivable life Trapped forever within past, present, and future Still this heart cannot give up Like unreachable stars in the sky Our long journey is beautiful With many precious memories
Transcending time and space
Our feelings cannot be broken
We will overcome these trials We will wait for each other forever and bring an end to this legend Regards, Angela
