Stella of The End

"Is it all right...if I consider you my daughter?" Another masterpiece from Key

This was one of the very first visual novels I've ever played and it completely blew me away. As a huge Sci-Fi fan, the story felt like it was made for me. I went in not knowing what to expect, but what I experienced left me speechless – and absolutely not disappointed. The visuals are breathtaking, the voice acting is full of emotion and the soundtrack is nothing short of a masterpiece with every single track. The story takes you on an emotional rollercoaster and I even found myself in tears at some points. The characters are amazingly well-written and truly grow on you as you read your way through. I can one hundred percent recommend playing this visual novel.

It's a nakige from Key. Without spoiling anything. The characters are okay. The premise is interesting. The story is good and well paced, but not that amazing. Eight-out-of-ten-ish. I hope they make a sequel for this. I found the epilogue intriguing and entertaining.

Pure Peak, great characterization of out characters with our MC Jude through his monologue and dialogues from teaching the ways of the world with philia to always staying on guard while discussing his job with his contractor, each character develops interestingly and naturally while also telling the story of the world. Set in a post apocalyptic earth where land has been taken back by nature, machines roam around being potentially lethal to any human and their own civilization is heavily divided, these characters discuss the places they visit and the different possibilities surrounding the events and machines that took place in the world and still have a lasting effect on it. The presentation features beautiful and inmersing art pieces for backgorunds and the most impactful and emotional moments accompanied by melodies that will set the mood for what's to come. all of this in around 10-11 hours, not too long by VN standards but just enough to hit where it needs to.

I purchased this thinking this would be some kind of anime game. Whatever, was just some PowerPoint with pictures posted on top of some kind of inconsequential story that became addictive all of a sudden. I was hooked and could not stop watching this thing till the end. As a result, I shall say I am still under the charm of it, the details sound credible and the flow is excellent. I can only recommend this if you like visual novels recounted in Japanese while reading the translation below. Incredibly you end up picking up some words and understanding a few sentences here and there.

Ah yes... I see you know your Judo well..

This one was (until recently) my favorite visual novel. It tells a very interesting story, has beatifull art and a very good ost. The whole "living after the apocalypse" setting is always interesting to me (usally much more interesting than storys that use "living while the apocalypse takes place" setting). Sure there are the typical "dumb choices" caracters take from time to time (like in 99,9% of anime/visual novels/games) but all in all its a good read. Im also a big fan of the ending [spoiler] since it isnt a happy go lucky one [/spoiler]. The only problem i have with this one is the choice to place text all over the screen and not (like most other visual novels) to use the generic 3-4 line textboxes. I want to actual see the visuals in an VISUAL novel. Sure it wasnt that much of an problem for like 90% of the text but at times it was anoying to have text over half of the screen in some key scenes or the buildup to a key scene. All in all a 10/10

I originally bought the visual novel because of SWAV's art, but I enjoyed every second of it. A beautiful story set in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by savage humans and evil robots. We accompany Philia, a robot girl, on her journey to become human. A sad, exciting, epic, nerve-wracking journey. Perhaps the robots are already more human than the humans who are still alive.
