awesome so awesome game. gorgeous. i have a lot to say but i have to preface it by saying it is so awesome great awesome game. I've only gone through one ending as of now but... wao.... i had to run to make a comment....
Before I get all pensive on the themes and story I will compliment the art :333 So awesome. gorgeous., love your power of. art . gorgoeus. this is such a silly compliment but love your power of color and shadow and light and.... in general i really like how the sprites and cgs are colored!!!!! despite all the backgrounds being very vibrant the characters never do take a backseat and manage to remain a focal point, their color palettes are also very beautiful and work awesome in harmony. i also really enjoy the use of soft and hard shadows . gorgeous... Mentioning the backgrounds I know they're edited public domain photos but. You edited them so well???? They don't ever feel jarring against the characters, and I could see the constant use of certain shapes to keep their stylization consistent. Like really if you didn't mention they were public domain I wouldn't be able to tell because of the care put into making sure they fit the setting and theming of the game...
Talking about the setting and theming of the game :333.... Damn..... Like it really makes you think. From second one I'm sitting here like damn... so scary how technology has advanced in such ways to make AI take over a lot of the tasks that belong to humans. In current times it does hit closer to the fears many people including myself have, regarding how companies have put their sights into finding technology to replacing the work and passion that comes from humans in order to save investments. With the special focus on the entertainment industry in here, it really does reflect those worries well. I was especially shaken up by the segment where you could see an AI short film described... shiver... BUT THAT'S NOT THE MAIN THING ABOUT THIS GAME THAT HAS ME LIKE. DAMN....
What I really did become intrigued by is how this game showcases the concept of: If you were to make an AI designed to be as realistically human as possible and train it to be as genuinely human acting, at a certain point, is that really still an emotionless robot or is that a person? That's the thing that really had me thinking here with the boys of AI-dol. Seeing them further develop their goofy personalities and human quirks really did make me pity them, specially the conversation with Shiyu where he expresses how he imagines a world where he isn't tied to a purpose and being human. Like at a certain point where does the line blur between AI and people when it comes to such advanced technology? This can be highlighted in how the Presevers, who while I completely understand where they're coming from -I can't imagine myself sitting idly while human businesses are being taken over AI, replacing us and the need for education and our passions, as if we were disposable...- attack the Ai-dol boys. The ways they attack them, is not simply how you would hack a computer. They are sent hate letters, stalked... The same attacks that would wear down a human idol and make their mental health suffer. These attacks really leave you thinking about where the line blurs on taking justice on AI taking our jobs and attacking a person. This point becomes specially stronger around the end of the game (at least in the ending i got, i got pacifist because I worried my choices would affect the boys despite Jun's livelihood being on the line www) where rights are introduced for AI bots. I too am concerned about what this implies and does for the humans in the universe, but with everything shown, I can't help but feel bad the AI bots in here, who are so advanced that they might as well begin to be in the trenches with us in a distant future.
I don't know if i was meant to think that deeply about this visual novel but i sure did BECAUSE IT'S SOOOOOO GOOODD...... wonderful game. 10/10 do recommend OH YEAH. THE CHARACTERS!!!!! they're so charming love them i forgot to say that wwww thank you!!! sorry for any incomprehensible text i don't speak English natively ^^; though even then it's not like i took the time to properly punctuate or grammar check this www sorry
So awesome game!!! I really enjoyed it and its explorations of what the aftermath of magical girl life is like, it is not something I see so often explored... For anyone scrolling through the comments, I can't say this won't be a spoiler-free comment, sorry!!
I really love the cast of characters in this game. They have great designs and I was invested in their different struggles as they went through life after being a magical girl. It left me wanting to replay the game more to see all the different routes with everybody and learn more about them... The art of the characters in this game is really stunning. I wasn't expecting the villain to also end up representing a different answer to the question of how life goes after such an impactful and unique position ends. From the start to the finish it all felt like it went full circle to the struggles of it from very different perspectives... so awesome... so ... good and awesome writing...
The music was great and the background work is so well done!!!!!! It pulled me in in such a way I could just visualize the story in my head as if it was some sort of movie. My favorite (both the soundtrack and the background art ww) has to be Glamour Pop... Dunno how to describe it but its so good...
Now this is a sillier comment but the reveal of Anna Lee being the cause for the magic disappearing was intense!!! I was so stunned!!! Like, you could see it from foreshadowing placed here and there, but seeing it getting confirmed even more and more by different things was so cool... It all came together..!!!! When the possibility first came into my mind, i thought it'd be funny if the pretty businesswoman who doesn't seem to have anything to do with the incident was indeed the villain... So when the TV shows of disbanded magical girl teams came in I was like... "yo.... wouldn't it be funny if she was a magical girl lol"... And then I saw the name Avocado Anna, didn't process it for a second and laughed about the silly name, and then was absolutely dumbfounded at the fact it really was true... Such an intense reveal... Even if I had guessed it on a whim it really shocked me, it was so good...
So awesome game!!!!!! Thank you!!!
I have made an account just to post a comment... Truly awesome so awesome game. I was immediately charmed and endeared by the characters, and I was very hooked to see what would happen to them through the story. Seeing them explore the situation in different ways was fun and engaging!!! The mystery of what was going on was so intriguing, and I was on the edge of my seat till the very end. The character development was so satisfying to see...!!! The dynamics and relationships between the characters were my favorite part, it was so nice to see it all connect and to see deeper bonds form. Seeing their sad stories and how they find ways to move on to a brighter future... It was so awesome... The worldbuilding shown within is also so interesting...
Gameplay wise I also really enjoyed it. Usually, I struggle tons with puzzles in RPGs and end up trying to look up the answers, but here I felt I could discover all the answers without whirling my head too much if I looked around enough (compliment). The difficulty was neat and while it does get harder as the game progresses, it does so in a reasonable way and things could be solved eventually once you look at things you first overlooked... In summary, I liked how the game handled puzzles, they were satisfactory to solve. I also do appreciate how you can get hints if you so want to. It does it in a way where you can finish connecting the dots yourself without feeling ashamed about it, and that was very nice.
Awesome game!!! Can't wait to play again and see what I couldn't quite catch the first time. I totally recommend it!!!
