Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow- Review
So , i just finished reading Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow- , and here is my opinion about it.
Story:
QuoteThe year is 1905 in the capital of the British Empire, the Engine City London, where the air is so thick with smoke that a mere glimpse of the blue sky is considered a miracle. The protagonist, Mary Clarissa Christie, is a girl living by herself while her mother works abroad. She attends university with her friends, Angelica Derleth and Charlotte Bronte, and lives a peaceful life.
However, through a chance encounter, she finds herself drawn into another side of London- spoken of only as rumors of "Metacreatures" who roam the night and attack people. She forms a contract with a strange man in a black suit, known as 'M', and begins to help him hunt these creatures...
I like how the story begins and i liked some of the characters , the middle part of the story disappointed me , the plot twists were really predictable , and the the ending would be prefect if they had removed just one thing from it ( i will talk a lot about the later part of the story , with a lot of details , so if you still did not read the vn , it will have a lot of spoiler , and i recommend not reading it.) .
I was really liking the later part of the story , i loved the Jane Doe chapter (act 7 and 8 ) , i liked when Mary and Moran were attacked by Ed O'Neal , and later the confrontation between Mary and Charlotte , but the thing that makes me go insane , and does not let me be completely satisfied with the ending is because of the scenes after the credits , when it shows a flashback of Mary and Charlotte as a child , but in the end of it , it appears a red eye , suggesting that its still not completely over, and i love my story having loose ends .
Gameplay:
Most people , i know complained about the mini-game that is in this vn , i actuality kind of did not bother it , i thought it would be a nonsense , but it was so easy that i was like " i can waste 10 minutes on this with no problems".
Art and Ost:
So the art is your typical Liar-soft art from they steampunk visual novels , and i like that art .
I did not care about the ost , the only one i liked was this one.
Final thoughts:
Story-7/10- The middle was really bad , but i feel like the ending was good enough to get at least this score.
Gameplay-6-It was ok
Art-8- I am a fan of Liar-soft art , so its no surprise i will give this score
ost-5.5-Only liked one song of it.
So this vn is a 6.6/10
Thank you for reading this
