When I found this game randomly at a forum months ago I thought it was just a joke. Just a quick money grab with no real unique CBT help, but I was wrong. This game has changed the way I view my life and relations.
I’ve been depressed for a long time. I’ll have short periods of times where I’ll lose hope or the meaning of things and it has affected my personal such as; school, friends, workout etc. After reading and 100%ing this I feel like something inside of me awakened, a feeling I didn’t have before perhaps. First off, Yuuka’s interactions feel very real. The way she presents her CBT tips is as if she’s there right next to you in real life. Her tips also helped me a lot. After finishing this game, I tried the journal writing and it truly does work. I no longer feel sad, depressed or dejected, and I feel like I can finally be myself again. If you’re struggling and want someone to comfort you then look no further my friend. The dialogue, her sprite, the interactions, they all made this into a wonderful game.

Aokana - Four Rhythms Across the Blue
蒼の彼方のフォーリズム
Disclaimer: Everything is based on my opinion. I am not a hardcore VN reader, but I have read around ~20 VN titles. This review contains some minor spoiler hidden behind spoiler tags.
Also, did some translation criticisms. TL;DR at bottom.
Story length: 20-40 hours for all routes (Still depends on how fast you read, but this is a good estimate)
I’ll start with the most important statement of the experience: Aokana is good.

ATRI -My Dear Moments-
高性能ですから！
ーアトリ
The artwork, the BGM, the SFX, the voice acting, they’re all done really well, there’s honestly not much to complain about
And the story is really well written tooー as expected of Konno-sama; I didn’t know what to expect of the ending at first and it was really exciting to read on.
There is a dual language option for those who are interested. However, my only complaint for it is that the text can become too small with the option on, especially the furigana.
Though to be honest, maybe I’m slightly disappointed in the endings. Maybe it’s because I enjoyed the story too much that the endings felt relatively abrupt.ー

What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to have feelings? What does it mean to be alive?
These are often abstract questions that cannot be described with a single definition, because its such a subjective nuance. ATRI managed to capture the themes of humane flaws, the acceptance of one’s flaws, and the co-dependency we have on each other in times of need: simply what it means to be human.
Nothing is masked in pretense in this game: almost all the characters have went through some form of adversity in one way or another, and each deals with them in a different manner. However, as the story progresses, each of them come to terms with the situation they are in, and learn to depend on each other to make a difference in their lives. The way this process is portrayed is with characters perfect in imperfection, and in the many ups and downs they face, with the most raw and relatable emotions that can be expressed in a visual novel format. The astounding CGs and seamless BGMs in the game further compliment the story, making it a very immersive experience for me.

Love Thyself - A Horatio Story
We were “promised” this previously and we received it on the April’s fool day!
Hooray!
We play for newly cloned Horatio.
Horatio is one of the major factions from Endless Space games.
The main feature of this faction is that it consists entirely of clones of the first Horatio guy,
who considers himself “beauty and perfection”.
It was promised to be “dating sim”. Out of joke, obviously (because Horatio can only date their own clones while considering everyone else inferior beings).
I guess, in the end, developers decided to not go that extreme (it’s not full fledged “dating sim” even if the game have this tag).
– Real player with 10.0 hrs in game
Funny and accessible, Love Thyself presents a brief but fascinating glimpse of what living surrounded by identical clones in a futuristic space society might conceivably look like. For a game clearly associated with April Fools Day, the devs went the extra mile in making it something people could enjoy beyond merely a halfhearted “haha, a visual novel dating sim about egotistical space clones, what an idea” chuckle.
The art is colorful and accentuated with the right amount of animation to add interest without being distracting; the writing is humorous overall, befitting the premise, but takes the worldbuilding part of it seriously as well. On a deeper level, I think it also captures that feeling of fear that people have of being secretly lacking or not “fitting in” with the rest of society, and the subsequent choice whether to embrace that feeling, or strive to meet or even excel the expectations of others.

Rose of Winter
This is a perfect little hot chocolate mug of a game. It’s a sweet, short, comforting set of love stories that now lives permanently on my hard drive to replay whenever I need a pick me up.
Rosemary is a goshdarn delight, good at her job but frequently awkward and always adorable.
The boys are fun and varied, and the road to romancing each of them is VERY well written and designed. In most other otome games, the choices tend to be either obvious or frustratingly arbitrary. In Rose of Winter, the choices hit that sweet spot in between: logical but not blatant. I got it wrong sometimes, but when trying again and really thinking over the guy’s values and worldview, in hindsight it would make perfect sense.

This is an adorable romance visual novel. It’s fluffy and light, but still enjoyable.
The art style is damn cute and the protagonist is thick. Like, not thin. THICK. Thick thighs. Thick torso. A nice, round face. For all the inclusion I yearn for, body size variety is particularly scarce in video games. Not just for the protagonists, but for romantic interests as well. Bonus points: there are dark-skinned characters.
The romantic interests are an elf (who’s quite small), a dragon (who has a humanoid form), a beastkin (mostly human-looking), and a human. Unfortunately, they’re all men. Each romantic interest has a good ending and bad ending. It’s quite easy to figure out both. The romance development does happen rather quickly, but I must forgive it, as I know indie devs don’t always have the luxury of making their stories as long as they’d like with limited funds/resources. However, the protagonist and romantic interest characters are developed enough to enjoy the story and experience romantic feelings. Romantic scenes are cute, and while there is insinuation of sexual happenings, there aren’t any adult CGs or even much description. I’m glad to say that, for the most part, there aren’t any problematic behaviors from the characters, and for the times there are, the behavior is corrected by the end of that character’s route.

Hiveswap Friendsim
A surprisingly essential story of love and friendship in our modern age.
Hiveswap Friendsim shocked me with the depth of its characters, worldbuilding, and the power of its message. For those new to the series, Friendsim is a charming and newbie-friendly introduction to the world of Alternia that’s been catching fandom attention for almost a decade. For experienced veterans, this game provides vital worldbuilding detail, crucial context for both Homestuck and Hiveswap, and a bevy of characters to engage with and grow invested in.
– Real player with 35.3 hrs in game
I am a Homestuck fan, by extension a HiveSwap fan, and this game is good supplemental material for before the second act!
Fairly cheap: each installment, two “friend-able” trolls in each, cost $0.99. That’s one $0.99 for the base game, and it seems like an extra $0.99 for each DLC set of trolls. Try the base game and see if you want more. It won’t exactly break the bank.
People looking for a straight up dating sim kind of experience won’t get that here, I’m afraid. The character routes themselves are very short and easy to navigate. It’s more about introducing these characters to us and seeing more of the world of Alternia before the release of HiveSwap: Act 2.

Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru Part 1
In Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michiru, Michiru criticizes Japanese culture as unsophisticated and nihilistic, and shoots some disapproving arrows at key French, British, and Italian cultural figures who represent similar tendencies. In contrast to all these alleged representatives of cultural “decadence”, Michiru applauds Caesar, Napoleon, Goethe, Thucydides and the Sophists as healthier and stronger types. The visual novel states the transvaluation of all values as Michiru’s final and most important project, and gives a view of antiquity wherein the Romans for once take precedence over the ancient Greeks.
– Real player with 140.5 hrs in game
Idol Mahou Shoujo Chiruchiru ☆ Michiru, a spinoff of “Fruit of Grisaia” series, follows Michiru’s adventures in an anime-like format of 13 episodes where as soon as a player finishes a episode they are met with a credit sequence.
There are 13 episodes in total with part one containing 7 episodes and part 2 containing 6 developed by Front Wing.

OLD REVIEW:
So…the moral is….don’t trust lolis with tasers?
关于我被小学女生绑架这件事 or “About the kidnapping of my primary school girl” is a chinese-only anime-based artstyle game that involves the protagonist…identity unknown other than that he’s a teacher (I guess) and a loli that abducts the protagonist in a yandere fashion to ask riddles…
I have absolutely no idea what’s being said in this or what’s going on…so I can’t tell you if it’s any good or not, but it at least looks good. Has a nice background and character design and the music is a mixture of wistfulness and dread. Also, just like in Ambre - a heartbreaking visual novel, pressing ESC takes screenshots, and trying to press your normal screenshot key only makes the game switch from fullscreen to windowed and vice versa.

2236 A.D. Secretary Stories
Short story, interesting world building and deeper than just some secretary dating sim. It’s an introduction to the world and characters of 2236 A.D - it also includes the prologue of the game under “Extras”. Will buy (when in sale).
– Real player with 3.8 hrs in game
The prequel gives depth/emotion to characters and introduces key concepts of the main story so naturally, it should be included as part of the base game in the first place.
The online requirement to play is kinda problematic. I was never able to play the game with network connection in my apartment.
I wish Chloro could make an offline version and present it as a (preferably free) DLC for the base game.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND AS A ACHIEVEMENT HUNTER DETAILS BELOW
honestly this “game” isnt bad but its short and has limited choices that dont really change much… its about two girls who are in love with each other but they dont know how the other one feels yadda yadda….
as a gamer: this game is… too short and theres not alot that changes in this… i suppose that its because a its a prelude to a visual novel game… that im probably not gonna play
as a achievement hunter: the achievements for some reason didnt work… i played the game like 5 times reset it a bunch and did everything apart from downloading things to force it to give me the achievement but nether one popped its strange to me because one of my achievement hunter friends got it not even a 2 weeks before i started playing… but i cant make my set on other people i have to get the achievement… and if i cant get it… something broke which means someone else has to have had the issue… well i looked it up, and some do have a issue, some dont… no one knows how it breaks but everyone kinda irritated
