The Evolving World: Catalyst Wake

I came into this game with no expectations, but it was a really fun experience. Extremely solid voice acting, good direction, and a well handled story that would have been extremely easy to overdo, but hit the right notes. Unexpected, but extremely enjoyable.

[b] 7.5+1*/10 [/b] * Bonus point for using [u] OCEAN [/u] traits in BOIS for real science! [h1] I would recommend this VN to anyone who wants to enjoy a complete story with several twists integrated into the narrative naturally, also to you who enjoy ensemble cast (e.g. Avengers!) or are simply interested in character designs. [/h1] [b]PROS[/b]: [list] [*]It is almost an animation [strike] despite needing A LOT of clicks [/strike]. There are many fight scenes that can get your blood pumping with just simple, clear CGs + A1-tier music! [*]All the environment designs are really in place and rendered with full attention. The paper-cut style that strikes the eye is very much enjoyable even surrounded by the rich background.  [*]The story has several interesting twists but not too many to fit in the short time length. It gives a proper ending for the 'The Evolving World' series. [*]Most importantly, you get to see not just the closure of a story, rather the closure of a child's dream...

Short and sweet sci-fi VN that benefits greatly from the full voice acting. Doesn't overstay its welcome but also manages to squeeze in a few twists and turns to keep the reader's attention.

It has a great plot, cast, soundtrack, script, and so much more. While it did take me only three hours to complete, I feel it is 100% worth the mere seven dollars it costs to buy this game.
