Shugaten: Almost forgot


Clephas

Sadly, I couldn't bring myself to finish this one... for a certain type of person (moe-addict plus lolicon) this is a heavenly game, but... it so boring for someone who actually wants some substance under the fluff.  This is one of those cases where there is no possibility whatsoever that an ending could justify me going through twelve hours of torture (four hours was enough for me to want to sell the game on Ebay...). 

The biggest problem was the fact that there is no balance to the reality that the game is almost entirely dialogue, with even less narration than in your standard charage, making me label this as a 'pure' moege, in the old sense.  What non-dialogue lines there are are minimal and immensely frustrating, and the humor is so... fourth-rate.  There are a lot of points where they were trying to make the game funny, but I honestly couldn't laugh, as I wasn't able to care about the characters (again, the sparseness of the narration is the cause).

Sadly, for people who are into VNs in order to be able to read a story, this VN has little to offer that I could see.

Just curious, are you gonna test Clochette's upcoming Harumina? While I heard good things about their titles and they are certainly very popular in Japan, I could never warm up to those strange face designs. However, they somehow fixed that in Harumina and the faces look really beautiful now. I'm therefore really thinking about picking it up and reading it in Japanese this time.

Clochette's games are mostly pretty high quality... Amatsu Misora Ni was the only one I didn't enjoy thoroughly.  So, yes I'll be playing it.
