I would have never followed this project to its logical end if not for these 3 points:
1) The main heroine, who outdoes lots of otome MCs. Iāve never seen such a marvelous combination of beauty, intelligence, decisiveness, and kindness. She always keeps her cool, makes rational decisions and, most importantly, fights for her happiness. Shiki isnāt some Holy Mary ā she is ready to kill in the name of everything she holds dear. Sheās neither an ice queen, who never cares about the people around her, nor a damsel in distress, who expects to be rescued by some knight in shining armor.
2) The plot, filled with drama and twists. Based on Japanese folklore and history, the game has many fights, intrigues, betrayals, and deaths. This VN has a very depressive mood. Ā There are dark themes, war, murder, betrayal, crimes. For the soul of each characters lies the sin of varying severity.
3) Thanks to Liz, artist, Shiki Ugaya now has her own sprite in the game. Capturing Shikiās very soul, she created various facial expressions that fully convey Tamayorihimeās personality.
Major advantages of the PC version over the PSP version:
1) While the PSP version doesnāt have the heroineās ā Shikiās ā sprite at all, in the PC version, Shikiās sprite has its own place on the screen. This became possible thanks to two talented artists: Aanu was responsible for Shikiās face and gave her 72 different heartfelt expressions; Aigul created Shikiās poses and different physical states, as well as designed all of her stunning clothes.
2) Aigul created sprites for Shikiās mother, young Akifusa, young Shiki, young Tomonori, and designed different visual elements for other characters.
3) The PC version has a custom design of all gameplay elements ā from the user interface to side frames.
Some bugs:
0) The game is now in open beta testing, but stable performance of all its routes is confirmed. 1) Sometimes the game can just up and freeze on you without a reason, reboot helps. ć½(ć_ć)ć 2) Opening settings on an animated background is not recommended. 3) Too much skipping can result in a crash. Consider saving data every time you get a choice option. 4) The game can sometimes prevent you from creating a new save slot and only allow saving data in an occupied slot, forcing you to rewrite existing save data. I didnāt manage to reproduce the problem, but try to avoid saving in the middle of the action on the main screen and when the āskipā button is pressed (regardless of the route).
