LINGERING

Pretty good Visual Novel. It has a different format making it very interesting. It looks like a comic book and the story is divided in chapters with each of them having 1 of 6 protagonists point of view. All chapters complement each other and often show different sides of an event. The choices matter and you get 13 different endings divided in 3 main branches of the story. I love the art. The drawing is beautiful and very colorful. The soundtrack is amazing and perfectly complements what's happening at the story. Hope the dev makes another visual novel in this kind of style and genre. You have action, thriller, romance. I liked the characters very much and a sequel would be nice. Goldie is my favorite followed by Angel and Doll. No patch needed. There are a few [6 I believe] sex scenes but they are not explicit. And I honestly think they were done right and fit perfect into the game. Nothing more, nothing less was necessary. Bought on release with 15% discount and don't regret it at a...

This game is weird…most games don't make me feel so torn on my review. I think the issue is so many individual parts in this game are fantastic but the narrative holding up the overall game just doesn't work. The art direction is certainly great, the music is great, over all sound design is fantastic. As far as visual novels go this is a high quality one. However, to put it lightly the narrative doesn’t make any sense. The overall plot is that a secret division of the government handles monsters that are created by people that suffer from depression/anxiety and other emotional issues. So that’s fine…but the game attempts to tell a murder mystery without seemingly any evidence, suspects, or any narrative focus. So that’s a problem. Look, this game has a problem with a lot of murder mystery games, the mystery can only be as good as the writer. This game is basically not a mystery or at least not a puzzle mystery. No clues exist that allow you to solve it. The sol...

This game is so...interesting! It's worth every penny! Pretty arts. The interactive interface makes the game really fun and engaging. It's a Visual Novel, so don't bring your expectation for an RPG into this. The story plot is pretty thick, sewed together nicely, easy to follow, and meaningful, a bit on a heavy side but that's the what the mature tag's for. You get to choose characters and you can see the same story from different people perspectives. Super cool in my opinion. Honestly I didn't expect much when I made the purchase, but this goes above and beyond my expectation, so it's a super nice surprise! I'm not LGBTQ+ but I enjoyed the game thoroughly. It was really good!

This game has a big potential to become something greater than it is, but I didn't feel that got any kind of reward or deep constructive thinking out of it. Just so you know, this is not about romance. This is about mental health. Dealing with mental health is not simple, it's a personal struggle that involves the people who loves you and care for your well being. They did mention about society not caring to take care of people who are suffering (which is not something easy to do), but instead treating them as outcasts, and other super deep stuff, but still, it did not give us a real chance to help those characters in a active way. Only watching as the end arrived in a helpless way. The begining was so cofusing and boring. It took me a while to get used to all the random chatting and apparently irrelevant problems from other people. Finally, all was put together and bam! it's over! At the end, I felt no real interest in looking up all the endings so that could, maybe find something...

My review is pretty much just complain after years of butthurt after all the triggers it given me (well yes, I played this game years ago when it come out, just forgot to give it a review). The only non-spoiler advice I could give you is: if you up for the romance with no happy end then go ahead. Even more so if you have played the dev's preivous games. If you still keep reading to this point mean you ready for the spoiler. I hate the easter egg and the romance in this game, along with the game ending. If you wonder what happened then lets talk about the dev's previous game - Amplitude. Amplitude male protagonist have 3 LI - 2 female and 1 male. The game kinda imply that the male protag canon love the male LI, which that guy also have unavoidable death in the end of the game. Then in this game, you will find out what happen after that: the male protagonist married 1 of the female LI, then she died, he re-married the other female LI and she also died, which left him with 2 daughters t...

This game made me want to be a better person.

I am still playing this game. [strike] I just got the worst ending ever. [/strike] [strike] It was horrifying. [/strike] [strike] I had full body chills. [/strike] Don’t worry babies, I’m going to make sure you all get the endings you deserve ( ˘ ³˘)♥ Right after I go and create each character in sims. Review: As another reviewer noted, Lingering is about mental health and features some dark themes. It has a unique storyline that the player uncovers from the perspective of 6 different characters, which was fun to see. Weeks have passed since I finished this game and I am still thinking about how insane but wonderful the story is. After years of playing visual novels, it can be hard to find something new and feel surprised anymore. Lingering has fresh ideas and is exciting. The characters seem so strong, cool and mysterious but they’re all hiding something, secrets or their true feelings. They are a strong cast with distinguished personalities. I was constantly trying to f...

This was amazing, couldn't put it down! VN with some puzzles and minigames, great characters and story. Gets very emotional at times, cried a few times. Love the look and feel of it, the comic book style. The way you progress with the story chapters for each of the 6 characters is cool and reminded me of Quantic Dream's games (because you do have to play with all chars to get to the ending), though some chapters lock or unlock depending on choices or choice of chapter played. Music is lively and quite fitting, could even run it in the background while doing something else without it getting annoying. There are 3 main 'couples' (2guys, 2girls and a guy/girl one). Almost all characters are gay / bi and you don't really get choices in this regard (except for that one time when you pick between a girl or a guy for a one night stand). Rest of choices in regards to romance mainly lead to whether anything happens with these couples and in what way, but you can't choose a different partner...

I've almost played this to completion now and I would thoroughly recommend it. The plot is unique and the characters are all extremely interesting. The art is gorgeous and the music is perfect for the game's vibe. There are a lot of queer characters too which is swell. Definitely worth the money!

Lingering is a pretty good successor to Freak-quency and Amptitude. The similarities between each game feels like an improved version of each other. Lingering being the more fleshed out. The characters each are well written, the style of the game is much sharper than the last. I really appreciate the evolution this small company has achieved.
