Quantum Conscience

A really interesting visual novel with a unique spin on making choices. Rather than selecting choices from a menu, you decide when and how often to make use of an interesting mechanic in which the main character can read the minds of those around him. What he/she learns or doesn't learn dictates how he reacts to different situations. It's a nice change from the usual modus operandi of visual novels. The story's themes are rather existential and interesting, framed in a somewhat typical science fiction setting. The art is rather hit or miss, with some of it being really beautiful and other aspects being rather poor. Personally, I was a little creeped out by the way smiles were drawn on the characters. Overall, it's an excellent entry into the visual novel genre. Somewhat short, but with excellent replay value. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good story and is intrigued by the concept of personal mental privacy.

Kitty robots, queer characters, people of color, and mind-machine interfacing -- what's not to like? Kudos for being able to choose the gender of the protagonist; although, it would've been even better if there was a non-binary option. I really liked the mind-reading stuff through "the Void" because, as unethical as it may be, reading minds is a superpower I wish I had. I think most people wish they had that power at some point in their lives, if not several times in their lives. It's neat the way using that power can affect outcomes so easily. There were romance options, men and women. However, they seemed rather secondary to the story, which is fine. Sometimes romance isn't a person's cup of a tea. So, a person who isn't looking for romance in their story could probably still enjoy this game if they like sci-fi themes. I highly recommend this VN for its unique gameplay and interesting story.

An excellently-crafted visual novel that deserves far, far more attention than it's had. Top-notch.

Disappointing... The Serafina games I very much enjoyed. But this game was annoying, Not very pretty, not many choices to make and also downright boring at times. They can't all be homeruns I guess...

---THIS REVIEW DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY SPOILERS AT ALL--- Quantum Conscience is an interesting visual novel with a twist. It gives the reader the chance to read minds of different characters throughout the game and develop different relationships depending on how you use your gift. The story in itself was pretty decent. Long story short: A guy gets kidnapped, he learned that his society was corrupted, he joined a rebellion, he developed the gift of mindreading, he uses the gift for either good or evil. It isn't the best story but it isn't bad either. Story: 6/10 The background is another story though. There are very few backgrounds throughout the game which is bad in itself according to me, but all of them legit looks like someone scribbled a little on a paper and then just didn't care anymore. You can't even make out what the background are supposed to be, even with the text describing the background. Background: 1/10 The characters all have been made pretty decent according to me....

I'm on the border of recommended and not recommended for this one.... The story is okay, and the main mechanic of this game is quite unique. The main mechanic (mind reading) do actually allow you to do good or do bad according to your own choices (maybe sometimes unintentionally). That being said, the graphics is really not okay for me. This visual novel only have several background images, which are mostly pretty bad or unclear. The character figures are kind of okay. The pacing of the story is pretty fast, but maybe a little bit too straightforward...

Okay, I'd like to start with saying that I absolutely LOVE Woodsy Studios. That being said, this game is really not worth the full price. If this is your first Woodsy Studios game, PLEASE DON'T JUDGE THEM BASED OFF OF THIS. This was their first game, and that fact is made evident throughout the gameplay. I actually couldn't bring myself to finish this game because I lost interest. This review is purely my opinion, but I reccommend buying it at a reduced price if you choose to buy it for yourself. PROS: .Nice soundtrack .Variety of characters .Good overall plan to differentiate it from similar games .Choose whether MC is male or female CONS: .Atrocious illustrations (but you can adjust to them as you play) .Unrelatable characters/character ambitions not explained or given motive, just emotionlessly change opinions .Differences in dialogue dependent on when you choose to look into people's minds - as good as this feature could've been, the MC sometimes acts rude or erratic de...

excellent game with an awesome story and amazing mechanics. 10/10

In progress review. My reviews focus on accessibility and inclusion, any criticisms are made with improvement or learning in mind. :) I've finished 2 of 4 routes, and got a non-romantic end (probably because I couldn't figure out how to romance anyone). For some reason I unlocked a bunch of romance CGs for the character I was least interested in, some of which I didn't even see in my playthrough. Although I did get a random non-graphic s*x scene with them just out of nowhere. Very odd. Accessibility +Press V for self-voicing (Screen reader / text to voice function) +Limited flashing lights (any flashing isn't very bright, is very short too). +Colour contrast for speech text is decent, -but it's terrible in the menus (grey text on grey background!) -Contrast for buttons is really, really bad. There should be a highlight but it's inconsistent within the game; aka if you want to highlight speaking to Shadow, the button goes brighter, but for every other option, it gets darker, making i...

Absolutely loved the mind reading mechanic. But whether to read or not read someone's mind is the only choice you have to make outside of exactly one other choice about 80% through. I didn't find the romantic options very satisfying but, eh. Had a good time, don't regret the small amount of cash I spent.
