One year ago, Insync Soft, a newborn company, announced their first work - Mousou Complete!, scheduled to be released in Autumn 2014. However, life is not that simple. The game was nowhere to be seen, and the only thing they could give were delay announcements. One, two, three, four times... Finally, 3 days ago, they officially gave the game the golden status, set its release date on 29/5. And I finally felt like trying the trial version out Now, let see what do we have here...

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILER

SYNOPSIS

This is the debut title by Insync. Seiji sees precognitive dreams from time to time. However, since it’s usually only fragments, he doesn’t pay much attention to them and just lives a normal life. One day, he saw a strange dream in which he was very intimate with a girl who he had never seen before. They were both naked and doing what lovers do. When he awoke the next morning, he was puzzled and wondered if it was a sign from the future. He had never dreamt about someone he had not seen before, so he dismissed it as only a delusion to avoid any weird expectations.

He got dressed, walked to school with his imouto Mari, entered his classroom and greeted his classmates. It was the start to another normal day at school… or so he thought. There was a new transfer student in his class, Erika, and she was the girl in his dreams. While he was still stunned, her gaze fell upon him.

“Ahhhh!!! N-No way… You must be joking…!?”

It seems that a strange love story has suddenly begun, with Seiji squarely in the middle of it.

CHARACTER

1. Onodera Seiji

Protagonist. A not-so-normal high school student with the ability of seeing "precognitive dream" with the accuracy of 50%, though most of them are just about random trivia stuffs. Also, what happened in his dream can happen anytime within one month.

2. Onodera Mari

Seiji's blood-related imouto. A super-brocon and hyper-energetic girl with a loud mouth and weird speaking pattern. She does not mind announcing her love to her beloved Onii-chan in front of everyone. Her annoying level is just about the same tier as Chinami, so be careful if you couldn't handle Chinami She is a crybaby (according to Seiji) and has sweet tooth.

3. Sakurai Kukuko

Nick name Kuuko, she is Seiji's osananajimi and classmate. A shy girl that can easily get flustered when speaking to other people. However, behind her airheaded and innocent appearance is a serious personality that even Seiji doesn't know about. Obvious enough, she has quite a lot of affection toward Seiji.

4. Kasuga Erika

Real name "Elixir.K.Witten" (wth?), she is the half-Japanese transfer student from Australia. She always gives off a "princess aura" so people usually treat her like an ojou-sama, though she really dislikes it. She is really weak against ghost. Nicknamed "Blond Tsundere Nee-chan" by Mari.

5. Myouga Sanaka

A real ojou-sama from an prestigious school. She met with Seiji in an incident related to his precognitive dream. She commutes to school by car, and has her own butler named Jonathan. Just as people can expect from a "sheltered princess", she is completely pure with zero knowledge about ecchi things, or rather, she doesn't even know what "ecchi" is.

6. Kanna Mia

The mysterious stalker girl that just keep following Seiji everywhere. She speaks in monotone with zero emotion on her face (or so the game said. She still smiles from time to time though. Must be my imagination ). She picked up owns a stuffed sheep named "Stuffed Sheep" (totally legit). She calls Seiji's "Sei", and forces him to call her "Mia".

STORY

The game started off with a H-scene a scene from Seiji's wet dream. The detail doesn't matter

Right when he was about to do a tongue-job, suddenly, he heard someone calling him "...-chan! Mou, Onii-chan...!". He "woke up", and found himself in the middle of the road. Oh, turned out he was just simply thinking about his dream last night, while walking to school with his imouto - Mari. While talking with Mari about his "special ability", he warned her about his dream sometime ago, when he saw her tripping on the road. Mari - could not care less - keep running ahead. Just when Seiji suddenly noticed a suspicious girl with short silver-hair hiding behind an electric pole, it happened: Mari tripped on nothing and fell down on her butt.

Having no choice left, after she got up, Seiji took her hand and walked to school. And just like that, Mari suddenly "transformed" from a loud-mouth-talkative machine into a quiet and obedient little girl (no princess-carry this time, no worry ).

To school, after a short exchange with his osananajimi Kukuko and classmate Ichirou, their HR teacher came in, introducing their new transfer student. And the person appeared in front of Seiji's eyes was no one other than the girl in his dream! Surprisingly enough, she (Erika) also "recognized" him and let off a loud scream. Misunderstanding the situation, their HR teacher assigned Seiji to be her "care taker" in one week and gave her the seat right beside him. Whoops.

Break time, while guiding her around school, Erika saw the old school building and asked Seiji to guide her in. He led her to the old infirmary room, which served as Seiji's "base". Inside, she started "interrogating" him about what he might be hiding from her, but got no result. When they came out of the room, Seiji once again encountered that "stalker girl", and learned that, for some reason, Erika also got "stalked" by her.

That night, after having Mari as dinner dinner with Mari, he went to sleep, and another dream came to him. No wet dream this time, but instead, it was a dream about an unknown girl that was about to be hit by a truck on a road with sakura trees side by side.

Awoken by his dream, he decided to go out early to try finding that place, but had no luck.

At school, after most of his classmates arrived due to a train delay and Erika's seat was still empty, Seiji decided to go and look for her. On the way, again, he encountered the "stalker girl", but got called out by Erika just when he tried to go after her. Talking for a while, he found out that Erika knew where that place was, and also, somehow had the same wet dream about him. After school, they walked to the location while talking about his dream and the girl in the accident. And, jackpot. At that exact place in his dream, they met a strange girl. She suddenly saw a cat on the road, and went right toward it, not knowing that a trucking was coming toward her. Seiji acted fast, pushed the girl out of the road, and saved her life. However, his action brought him a big trouble: the girl (Sanaka) thought of him as a "prince" and decided to "become Seiji-sama's possession". Moreover, she then bursted out crying when she saw Seiji's wound from saving her. Seiji and Erika decided to brought her and go back to the old infirmary for Seiji's treatment.

After the hell of a commotion caused by Mari and Kukuko (plus Sanaka) because of Seiji's "mistype dying email" to them, they introduced themselves.

Everything finally got somewhat settled down after Erika's lecture to Sanaka. She then asked Seiji if he wanted her to do anything for saving her life, though he couldn't answer her. In the end, Sanaka "confessed" to him, and gave him a good-bye kiss before leaving, in front of everyone and her butler Jonathan. Mari didn't want to lose either, so later, she also gave him a good-night kiss along with her declaration: "I won't give you to anyone".

That night, another dream striked him. Another wet dream. And this time, the main heroine is Kukuko.

Morning, while walking to school and thinking about all the weird stuffs happened to him recently, he AGAIN saw the "stalker girk" lurking around. He left Mari behind, chased after her, and finally, for the first time since forever, caught her. After a can-not-be-more-awkward conversation, he learned that her name is Mia, and she kept following him just because of her hobby - what she called "human-observation". They went to school together, holding hand (Seiji took her hand forcefully) after Seiji realized they were about to be late for school, but she ran off after seeing Erika coming toward them, leaving him hang there with her word "I feel happy when I hold you hand".

Things get painfully awkward with Kukuko in class. After school, Seiji and Erika talked again about the dream, and she end up "confessed" about the content of her dream, so they could confirm that their dreams were the same. They decided to ask other people if they had any dream, but got a no from both Kukuko and Sanaka. They went to the infirmary, just to see Mari and Mia were already there, eating snacks like close friends, despite being completely strangers. After Mia's introduction and Mari's passionately love confession, Erika started questioning Mari about whether or not she had any precognitive dream (and got another no), then told everyone about her having the same dream as Seiji. Everyone got curious, and Seiji ended up having to confess about their dream. Of course, the only two person that didn't react to this surprising confession were poker-face Mia and pure-girl Sanaka.

That evening, Mari once again declared her will to keep Seiji all for herself. "Affected" by that, you know what happened next: another dream came to him. This time, it's Mari.

Next day, at the infirmary (now had become their "club room"). While waiting for Sanaka and Mia to arrive, Seiji decided to bring out the chair and table, and put on the tablecloth that Mari just found. At that time, both Seiji and Erika realized: in this room, on this table, with this tablecloth, was the "crime scene" in their dream. After Sanaka arrived, and Mia woke up from her sleep from one of the infirmary bed (made Kukuko crawling out crying because she thought it was a ghost), Erika started her discussion about gathering data about Seiji's dream for potential future usage (disaster forecast, for example), and about "synchronized dream". Couldn't believe Erika just from some small fact like they realized the tablecloth and such, Sanaka tried to ask them some question to confirm, but still unable to get any result to clarify their dreams and the reason why Erika was the only one who had synchronized dream.

Suddenly, Mia broke the silence: "Why did Kukuko and Mari lie?" Turned out, Mia, for whatever reason, had the ability to look into other people's heart, and saw through the dreams that Kukuko and Mari tried to hide (to every single detail). Somehow, she also had telepathy, which explained why her voice was so soft. And, right before everyone called it a day, Mia revealed her final (?) ability, allowed her to "relay" dream from one to another person, which she used to relay Erika, Kukuko and Mari's dream to Seiji (yup, they were not his dream, he simply just saw the dream of other people being relayed by Mia). Mia asked Seiji: "Whose dream you want to see tonight?"

The choice came out, but only Kukuko was available in the trial.

That night, just as Mia said, Kukuko's dream came. And it was a supposedly "precognitive dream".

Kukuko's word, resounded inside Seiji's head:

"...I...died...

The day before yesterday...I died right in this place...

Amazing, no one did any terrible thing to my body...

...Thank you...

Thank you very much...for killing me...

Thank you very much...Seiji-kun."

And that's how the trial ended. I have to say, wow! At first, I thought this was just another moege/semi-nukige with pretty much no story, but somehow it turned out to be surprisingly story-focused, and even have the dark smell coming. Yes, there are H-scenes lying around here and there in the trial, but it doesn't seem to be the main attraction of the game. People who love light-story moege may also find this game a bit difficult to enjoy, since it will shove into your mouth a bunch of scientific explanations (which I understand nothing) about butterfly effect, Stockholm syndrome, synchronized dream, blah blah...(yeah yeah, sorry for my low grade in Science ) However, I still find the story pretty interesting so far, especially with the supposedly seriousness coming, though I still sometimes get annoyed with all those long ass explanation. Some places feel a bit rush and illogical, such as when everyone just simply accept the fact that Mia has all those special abilities like nothing. Guess they will explain them later...

GRAPHIC

I have a serious concern about how they used THOSE EYES as "pouting" expression. Nope nope nope nope nope. You also hardly be able to differentiate the surprising, panicking and laughing face in the CGs because they are pretty much the same.

One more thing, does this school even has an uniform? Erika is a transfer student, so MAYBE she hasn't received the uniform yet, but Mari and the rest (except Sanaka from other school) are from the same school, Mari and Mia are also supposedly in the same grade, so why do they have completely different uniform?

Maybe Mari just simply loves to break the hell out of the school rule?

Well, at least the art itself is nice though.

MUSIC

Another of those "nothing special" BGM, that unable to make players remembering any after they exited the game. The OP and insert song is nice enough to listen to, but not something that will go into my music playlist either.

VOICE

Mari's voice is EXTREMELY-UNPLEASANT. Sorry, just have to say that. I have no problem with Chinami, but her is just...no. Her voice hurt my ears hard when she shouts, and sometimes even sound really "off", not go well with the situation. Voice of side characters were cut off in the trial, so I can't comment on that.

CONCLUSION

Mousou Complete! is definitely not your normal type of moege that you can just fap to it while holding Ctrl through the route, and it also won't give you ton and ton of comedy like others either. If you came for a moege/charage-with-plot, you are in the right place. If not, go ahead and enjoy Chuunibyou na Kanojo no Love Equation. Much better.
