Yo, I’m back with Dynamic Chord feat. Liar-S this time, the second game in Honeybee’s musical trilogy. Band activities are fun, live the K-ON! dream. Though okay, playtime’s over once you make it big in the music industry, something that becomes painfully clear with Liar-S. As usual, spoilers + rough summaries, not as detailed as what I did for Reve Parfait but I ended up writing a lot anyway (cry).
Clover Toshokan no Juunin-tachi (The Residents of Clover Library) essentially allows you to romance book gijinka. The game is split into two parts, with half the cast only being aimable in the second game.
Aikawa Chihiro is an orphan who moves into an old library as its new caretaker, intending to prepare the library for its opening day. It was built by a man for his sick daughter, and has been shut down since a long time back. At the library, she meets with the strict Itsuki first, who accepts her immediately into the position. It seems that the library can’t keep caretakers for very long and they keep fleeing the place. Chihiro, who loves books, is determined not to run away. Itsuki shows her around the place and informs her that the library tends to be visited by ‘frequenters since the old days’ at night. He also introduces her to the rest of the library’s inhabitants and workers…who, like him, turn out to be books.
I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of Honeybee, but I generally REALLY enjoy what they put out. Dynamic Chord feat. Reve Parfait isn’t an exception. I’ve been following the characters on Twitter for awhile and I’ve enjoyed their bonding and interaction very much – Honeybee has a way with writing characters. More than anything, the relationships between each and every one of them is what makes HB’s games enjoyable for me, alongside their KILLER sense of design/typography.
Here, you play as Atano Rio, a girl who eventually becomes band manager for Reve Parfait – four highschool guys with a big dream. This is the story of how they began. I also want to say that Kuon’s route is something that should be read/experienced SOMEHOW, it’s such a good route.
First post in awhile! I power-played my way through Kokuchou no Psychedelica recently because my mood for otome games came back. I also bought Hyakka Yakou, which hasn’t disappointed me so far. In Psychedelica, the main character wakes in a mansion without memories of herself or her life. She meets four others in the same condition as her, and they are joined by a common goal – to defeat the monsters in the mansion, obtain shards to a mysterious ‘kaleidoscope’, and win back their memories and freedom.
I’ve tried to keep my comments during the routes as neutral as possible!
It’s been some time since my last post again! As usual! It’s exams period and I’m crying at them. Since I had an accident where I dropped my phone in the toilet (cry) my notes for Colorful Step’s Culture Side game are gone. （；▽；）
I just finished up the comic anthology for Tsukiuta, an online mixed media project. It brings together seiyuu and members of the Niconico Douga community to create a 2D idols concept based on the ‘image’ of each month in the year! Unlike series like Utapri or Marginal #4, Tsukiuta’s cast (both boys and girls alike) don’t really show us the “idols sparkling on stage” thing. The series seems more like a bunch of kids doing daily-life things most of the time (IMO, at least!).
Important: Each month/character has a different NicoNico Douga Vocaloid composer doing songs for them! For example, August’s Haduki Yoh is assigned to Utata-P (Kochira, Koufuku Anshin Iinkai desu). As each composer has his own style, every month will sound really different! It really helps create a stronger image of each character. The Tsukiuta cast is also divided into sibling groups so there are many different character dynamics in this project (Six Gravity/Procellarum for the guys, Fluna/Seleas for the girls).
The anthology has twelve stories, one for each male character. For those interested but without access to it, I’ll be summarizing its contents here!
イライラする!
