Lurkers

[I] Lurkers [/i] is a historical detective BL visual novel. The story has all the tags I absolutely adore buut...I'm afraid it's gonna be a neutral review. I'm a bit hesitant if I should recommend this game, so let me leave it to your own decision. Again :D Why I choose the thumb up for my neutral opinion: +BL VN. This reason is enough XD More. Please, create more similar content! \o/ So much appreciated. You can't even imagine how grateful I am. (☆_☆) +I was always fond of history. At first as school subject, then reading historical novels. My history teacher was kind to invite me to her house and share her books with me. Historical films, novels... Anything related to factual events is immensely captivating, immediately changing the story to smth so much more impressive. You realize it's not just author's imagination. It actually HAPPENED. Or at least partially. It doesn't matter. It still makes the whole experience so much more immersive. In this case it's British criminal his...

I love Ertal Games stories, and this is no different. This is a little more innocent than the others I've read, but I enjoyed it all the same. Getting the love interest of your choice is pretty straight forward. Finding the culprit is mostly straight forward as well, so a walk through isn't really needed (for those who rely on them like myself). I definitely recommend this game as a good read for a quick break with a cute love story.

It is a bit on the short side, but I enjoyed playing it. The setting, the backgrouds, the characters, all is interesting, as are the romance options. Not much to say. A fine little adventure, I had fun playing it. :)

Lurkers is a cute, fictional story (using some real world names & events) regarding investigating Jack the Ripper. The romantic elements are PG, and quite sweet. One character might be asexual, or maybe he's just not interested due to being traumatized - it isn't clear, but it is a welcome addition. The setting is pretty bleak, and that makes the romantic bits all the more wholesome. The story contains many unpleasant elements (misogyny, homophobia, anti-semitism, etc), but it feels appropriate given the historical setting. I noticed a couple of minor typos and English mistakes, but nothing serious. The character art seems inconsistent between the characters appearance during the story versus during the romantic scenes. It is also a bit short - I got all 10 achievements in 2.5 hours. I don't mean these complains to be harsh. I enjoyed it and offer my recommendation. I only wish I could have spent more time with the characters because I liked them a lot.

Decent story, likable characters, okay music. Not a fan of the art style at all, though, and there are a lot of typos and just poorly worded sentences. So I kinda halfsies recommend and halfsies don't recommend, but eh. It entertained me for (almost) 2hrs and the price tag isn't too high, so no regrets. [spoiler]Also yay, ace character!!![/spoiler]

a bit short but still really good

Lurkers Is a pretty cool little game. It definitely focuses more on the story than the romance, and the mystery is quite obvious. I knew who the villain was from the first conversation I had with him, and it wasn't because i'm good at solving mysteries lol. There were also some typos and grammatical issues, especially towards the end of the game. The game's greatest strengths are it's atmospheric soundtrack, and Jack the Ripper, of course. It helps that I find the Jack the Ripper case fascinating. It was fun, and I enjoyed my time with it. 5/10

My first impression of the game was it was bugged... And I was very dissapointed, because Spanish texts were missing. But after playing it in English I think the minor errors (like an achievement not popping) do not affect the quality of the game so much. The graphics are not that pretty compared to other games (even from Ertal Games), but it does not need it, I think this is a short visual novel where you can experience a good piece of Victorian Age London, so I think this is a 6 out of 10.
