Besides that I think the game is pretty solid for what it is and does everything it wanted to do. The story despite being only an adaptation of chapter one of volume one from a six volume novel is pretty conclusive and the ending feels more or less complete. The horror aspects were definitely one of its stronger points. Despite there being more relaxed moments that let you take a breath the game keeps you alert most of the time. As much as it probably wont scare most, the perfectly time soundtrack made me feel unease more than once especially throughout the second part of the game. The story was short, captivating and intriguing even if predictible at times. Characters don't stand out much but they work for this kind of game and some of them are probably more touched upon in the novel. One thing I appreciate the most is probably the atmosphere. Vague and dark backgrounds, the lack of voice acting, and the soundtrack than only enhances it all not only with music but other sounds as well. Since it's not that long and the game interested me enough I'll be definitely picking up the novel sometime in the future which I hope to make a post about as well. If you're a fan of horror VNs or nitro plus or for some other reason you've wanted to give this game a try I recommend you do, even if it's not the greatest piece of fiction out there it was well written and enjoyable.

Another short nitro plus game I played fairly recently (beginning of July) was Saya no uta, one of the most popular of their works. I'm surprised it took me so long to play it and despite it being so highly rated even by people I know I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did.

I usually prefer longer games since they have more time to develop and expand the story, characters and other aspects and I wouldn't expect something so short to be a masterpiece. One of the things I was surprised the most about were the three endings. I'm most critical about those since it's the last thing you'll see in game and creating a perfectly satisfying ending that makes sense is much harder than coming up with an interesting story. All three endings of saya are amazing. I still don't know which one I prefer the most. Every ending is vastly different yet they're all satisfying in their own way. None of the characters feel out of character and what happens in them isn't abstract from the game and feels like that's something that would happend if it goes certain ways. Despite that they weren't predictable. Again the atmosphere is something I greatly appreciate about this game. It's certainly an experience I'll think about for a long time, despite its short length it managed to earn the title of the best visual novel I read. Not my favorite because it didn't speak to me on a deeper personal level but it's certainly the greatest thing I've played in years.

Good evening! I hope everyone had a great solar eclipse! I definitely felt the effects of it throughout the day.  I connect with the moon much more, so all throughout today, I felt very happy and sensual and ready to be a motherly figure.  Also, the sleep....omg I had the best sleep in a long time because of this phenomenon. When it comes to astrology in general, I connect with different phenomena like this and it goes to show that energy is constantly changing and is universal.  However, some people are more sensitive than others and some people react differently than others.  Let me know in the comments how you felt during the eclipse! Did you watch it?  Did your moods and behaviors change? I love hearing how these sorts of astrological miracles affect others, other than just myself.  That’s all I have for you tonight.  Have an amazing night and Blessed be.
