Ame no Marginal -Rain Marginal-

Ame no Marginal from the author of Narcissu 1st & 2nd.

Ame no Marginal -Rain Marginal. It is a short, serious tale which only includes one ending but does still showcase some branching pathways along the way. The storyline includes many questions to be pondered during a playthrough.

The story

We are introduced to a man who hates his job and in fact seems to detest living itself. So much so, he thinks of suicide on a regular basis but has thus far avoided any actual attempts on his own life.

This non-interactive story is about a suicide-prone white-collar (an unnamed decoy protagonist) who gets sent into a mostly empty parallel world, where he meets this (also unnamed) girl who’s been living alone there for over a millennium. Apparently because people can’t die in it. The rest i can’t spoil, but the story isn’t as lighthearted as the art style makes it seem to be. It’s an amazing tear-jerker if you don’t mind fantastical elements. But it’s still pretty good if you do.

You might first want to try “Narcissu 1st & 2nd”, which’s free on steam, to get an idea on how stage-nana works. And at least Narcissus tries to stay grounded to reality.

In it’s current form, this release is but a preface which simply introduces the main characters.

There is not really any story, although potential for a story to develop. It falls short in all expectations! I would liken it to a sample episode.

If this is the end product there is no way I could recommend this game.
