A visual novel blended from pieces of a larger story. Dark fantasy., May 5, 2022This is a game that's essentially a demo for a longer visual novel. It takes pieces of stories of that game and mixes them into one.
This game has quite a lot of visuals, with the snow animations and wintery background being especially gorgeous, and the overall portraits being fairly high quality.
You play as a bartender who gains a mysterious ability: when someone talks to you, you gain the ability to 'replay' their story and make different choices, which can have an effect in the real world afterwards.
These stories involve dark and frightening creatures in the woods, which have become more dangerous ever since the sun disappeared.
Overall, the dark vibe here is good, the stories are detailed, there's more interactivity than most VN-type games. I did have trouble getting a feel for the 'flow' of the game, as there wasn't so much an overarching story arc with rise and fall of action. Since the full game will have an entirely different storyline, that problem may fix itself.
