Mr Poltroon Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I looked, but I did not see it. I have found no thread similar to this one, sorry if I should't have made a thread about this.Now, onto business. This game... I've heard all about it, so it got me interested. I go and look it up but I find nothing that actually tells me what it's about. From what I've seen thus far, it's about a boy who happens to have gotten some sort of powers somewhere. So it's got to do something with the supernatural. That's fine. Then what? Would it be possible to tell me what it's about without spoiling anything too important? Does it have... romance?Does it have... routes? Does it have... choices?Does it have... action?Does it have... a slice-of-life start?Does it have... mystery? Appreciated if you could enlighten me. Any further details thatn the ones I requested are fine too. Answers (for other people with similar questions and better things to do than to search through a thread): Basically it's a mystery story with supernatural beings, there's some action and some SoL parts. There's drama and romance too. There are 5 routes, divided in 2 groups that have really different stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I heard it has many choices and many bad endings with story as well as unlockable routes so it's by no means a kinetic novel. It has over 7 endings. That's as far as my knowledge goes. Also to change the title of the thread you need to use the full editor to edit your post.

Down Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Does it have... romance? Does it have... routes? Does it have... choices? Does it have... action? Does it have... a slice-of-life start? Does it have... mystery? Yep, yes, yes, yes, not really, and yes. You've probably read a synopsis at least: it's about a guy who somehow acquired that strange power that makes him see the "lines of death" of "things". If you cut something's line of death, it dies. Said thing can be an object, a person and even more abstract things. That powers is hard to bear though: it threatens to fry his brain and make him crazy, so a mysterious person he encountered long ago gave him glasses to repress it. Some day he crosses by a blond women in the street and gets an incredibly strong urge to cut her. Except she's a very special person. Basically it's a mystery story with supernatural beings, there's some action and some SoL parts. There's drama and romance too. There are 5 routes, divided in 2 groups that have really different stories. And it's really, really great if you like that kind of stuff.

monkeysrumble Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I've only read one route but from what I have read it has everything you listed, though the slice of life stuff is very minimum from what I have read. If you can get past the art it's actually a pretty good read and if you are a fan of Type-Moon then I would definitely give it a read.

JustThisOne Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Same guy who wrote Fate/Stay Night however its more mind-screw than action, but I like it more than Fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okami Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 What I alway wanted to know about this VN is how is it conected to Fate series and how simmilar to it is. By the way I don't realy like Fate series a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Same universe as fate/stay night (and mahoyo too iirc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berilium Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 At first it was kinda akward because I am not used playing VN's without voice acting. But I tought "So what?" and now I can say it's one hell of a VN. If you are interested you won't stop reading, otherwise it may take some time. Or maybe I am exaggerating. My opinions tend to be overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnWolf Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 There are several references in Fate from Tsukihime, but nothing too plot changing. As for Tsukihime... yeah it's more mind fuck than action. Interestingly, I think all the routes are really deep and interesting outside of Arcueid's. If you play it, I recommend going in this route order for the full effect (Arcueid -> Ciel (you have to play these two first) -> Akiha -> Hisui -> Kohaku (you have to do Hisui before you unlock Kohaku)). Personally I think Ciel's route and Kohaku's/Hisui's are the best. I really really really like Kohaku's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Poltroon Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Well, do you guys know any visual novels similar to this one? A comparison would be the best method to figure out what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Fate/stay night except darker and less chuu2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnWolf Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Ehh, the atmosphere is similar to Heaven's Feel, but thats about it. Oh, that and the fact that some (most) routes are pretty dark life HF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustThisOne Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Umineko with no mystery and more mind-screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 You should just read it anyway, if anyone ever made a vn canon it'd probably be on it maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berilium Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 This is an off-topic question but I have nowhere else to ask: any news about the remake? Satsuki hype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakamutt Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 make a new thread. But no, if there actually were any news you'd be hearing it. Assume it will be out by 2030 and you might be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnWolf Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Chuu is the japanese sound for kiss. I imagine he was attempting to write "chuu!?", cause ! is right next to 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
