☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Okay, I did not cry and this was just not very good.
With clunky, almost childlike writing, no real sense of pacing and no real sense of direction, Harmonia is a visual novel that’s ostensibly a spiritual successor to the successful planetarian. You very much should read that instead. Studio Key is usually much more competent when it comes to the, er, vulgarly nicknamed ‘cryporn’ genre, but this just felt very cheap and hamfisted. I dunno, guys, it was disappointing. Anything I can say about this is probably just ‘this was bad, planetarian did it much better’.
Oh, but a special shoutout to this game for deciding the best way to show a character suffering a fatal wound is for her to open her blouse and reveal her bra-less D cup breasts perfectly perky coupled with the fact she just doesn’t wear underwear, I guess, as a really poorly placed softcore pinup image. Bonus: this character has the personality of a young teenager.
This genre makes me so goddamn tired sometimes.
Next up: A freebie otome with stellar reviews! Will I be able to withstand the curse?
See you soon!
Well those last two games don’t sound that satisfying - unless oc one likes to be watched by guys while we puzzle :D
Cryporn? Well I haven’t heard of that one before o.o
Guess it involves cringing and… crying?
Uh, have fun with Cinderella and Aquaworld ;)
Cryporn is like…. you watch it explicitly to feel intense emotions and cry. Kind of like foodporn, about really good food? Idk, I don’t like that term anyway.
Cinderella is actually really nice so far! Great production value for a free game. The MC is really mean and has to learn to be nice, which is a refreshing change of pace.
That’s sounds either mean or like an emotion overload :D
Huh, that sounds interesting, guess I should install it (so I remember it, have no time to play it anyway :D) and give it at some point a go :)
Glad you enjoy it! :)
