dUpLicity ~Beyond the Lies~

weird

I'll open this by saying that this game get's a lot of bad rep that it doesn't deserve. From playing roseverte's games, there's always been an intriguing plot that catches me by surprise, and continues to be memorable. This one is the most memorable for me. If you tried playing the game and found the initial stat raising bit to be irritating, please, follow the guide, the first time you get a characters route, you'll probably never need to read a guide again unless you attempt the harem ending. Anyways. The game starts out as a stat raising game, but once you go onto a character's route, it forgo's the stat raising, so if you don't like the initial part be at ease, as that's only a small fraction of the game that's used to give a variety of endings and ensure you get onto a character route. Each playthrough the story evolves. My first runthrough was Youji's route, and I thought his route was a perfect ending, and that none of the other routes would top his. But I was very wrong. The...

I found myself really enjoying roseVeRte’s games. This one shares a few things with their other games: the art isn’t so good (which is okay because the story IS GOOD. At least [b]it’s way better than a lot of other VNs around here[/b]), and [spoiler]there’s a plot twist[/spoiler]. I must say, I found this story rather intriguing; not sure if in a good way tho… But I played all the routes to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. [spoiler]To be really honest, I thought that it was kinda creepy the relationship between Yukina and Kouichi. I’m not a fan of “replacements” (you know, when someone dies and the other person keeps seeing their deceased beloved one on this new person) so that must be why I didn’t enjoyed his route so much. But that’s just me, other people might like it.[/spoiler] 6/10. It was an interesting experience for me, and I recommend getting this game on sale.

I like this game :) Art style is different - but it isn`t a bad thing. I finished only Youji`s route so far - I'm going to keep playing and see the other endings. Recently I play a lot of otome games, and this does not differ from other titles (except Cheritz games which are the best I've played so far). If you like otomes should play this game too :) For better recommendation for game read post from CallistaWhite - after reading this recommendation I bought this game and I do not regret. thx CallistaWhite :)

Short game you can finish in a night depending how lucky you are choosing options and how fast your read. I highly suggest just... not playing this game blind. úse a guide. Im not sure why but i found it very hard to get endings without following the guides to a T.... AM I DESTINED FOR MISERY..!?!? Anyways after all the media ive consumed it was pretty sterotypical but still fun, i feel like an old bat at this point haaaaa music?: i love it! sounds 2000s techno heh heh art: lacking but its uhh there story: will get you through the night... lol if its on sale? take a swing

I've meant to write a review for this game for a while now. I really was disappointed in it even after I was able to manage to get some of the endings. I wasn't eager to get all or even most of them but the happy ones at least. When I first played it I was done with it in a matter of minutes. Disappointing given the fact that I'm used to much better games from roseverte but not only that but it's really to expensive for that. I either expect a hella good game or at least more playtime. I got neither. The dialogues are basic and dull. If you played the East tower series you'll might remember that the dialogues there were quite simplistic too but it wasn't bad because all the games had a special kind of cuteness to them. I can't claim the same thing about d'UpLicity. It wasn't emotional or cute, it wasn't intriguing or anything like that. Reading all these dialogues with these impersonal characters was just exhausting and frustrating. The gameplay is boring and stupid and not challen...

Overall the story was pretty interesting and unique. I didn't like the grinding as it felt very unnecessary and detrimental to the gameplay. But once you get past that (look up one of the walkthrough guides!) it becomes a proper visual novel. The premise is kind of creepy but not as creepy as it could be. There's a lot of potential for [spoiler]existential crises and identity issues[/spoiler] that gets glossed over in favor of forced romance. I didn't regret the time I spent playing this though - it was quite interesting.

If you enjoy otome games with a dark twist to them, it is a good game and I would recommend it. People have reviewed saying it's really repetitive so here's a tactic: You can hold down Ctrl to skip already read parts, so if you played it at least once, it takes about 2 minutes to skip over the schedule part if you know what you're going to choose, so it's really not that bad. Also, I just want to say it's true that the game is a little creepy and dark at times, so if you don't want that, you probably won't like this game. But if you like darkish themes or a unique game, then I think you'll like it. Personally, I liked it. roseVeRte is pretty good at stories with dark sides to them.

It felt old, slow and just... Stupid (in a way you would see a kids cartoon bad guy almost slip up and make a ridiculous excuse. One that everyone just doesn't question and accepts...) Also there's the art and sound, it jusr wasn't done well at all in my opinion.

it was not fun at all to me.
