This is one of the worst scams that I remember, along with Pregnancy. At least this has cute art. While taking photos of the aurora borealis, you're kidnapped by an Icelandic elf. The game promised before release to talk about Iceland. Probably the writer knows nothing about Iceland, or elves, for that matter. Why my elf behaves like a Japanese waifu? Why would you write about an elf girl if you want to do a generic, trope-ridden story? The elf tells you a sob story of how she was bullied for being different, and bam, the game is over. You won't have time to curse the insipid writing. You will be ejected to the main screen in no time. This isn't even a bad experience. This isn't even an experience. It's over as fast as a car crashing against a wall at 150 mph. Purin, I change my mind. I'm not amused. Even if it sells for next to nothing, that's because the game offers nothing. For 3-4 euros you can get some good deals, on key pages, dealers and even Steam, to grab a game way, way be...

As much as I appreciate the effort that probably went into this novel (especially on the art front), I can't bring myself to recommend it. The art is pretty (although it can be off-putting if you're not into the overly-anime style; also, [spoiler]although the MC says Gryla has remarkably pointy elf ears, her ears are average and human-looking, both in sprites and in CGs[/spoiler]), the GUI and backgrounds are beautiful, and it certainly has a nice amount of CGs in comparison to its length, but it doesn't have many redeeming qualities besides those. The premise could have been interesting, but it is not explored to its full potential and some actions taken by the characters seem random or unnatural due to how rushed the whole thing is. The story is also too short to properly get into or to allow you to be truly involved with the characters. Despite the "Extras" option on the main menu, it is not really available and you can't view a CG Gallery or anything of the sort. Lastly, the end do...

A short kinetic VN. The art style is really beautiful, and the BGM is quite good too. I loved the fact that the story takes place in Iceland, a colleague of mine went there once and said that it was an amazing country. I really wanted this VN to be a bit longer, just when I started to get more into the story, it was over. Hopefully, the upcoming side story will explain more about Gryla. 6/10.

Pros: - Nice, pretty artwork Cons: - Extremely simplistic writing - Simple story - Lack of character development - Confusing ending I can't say I recommend it. It's a pretty game, but so very empty and shallow.

Vision of Aurora Borealis is a bad kinetic visual novel experience that managed to hit all the wrong notes. Besides the art, nothing about this visual novel worked for me. Even then the art was uneven. The writing was poorly edited and the story feels rushed and poorly paced. THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE VISION OF AURORA BOREALIS IS SLAPDASH. Vision of Aurora Borealis is a kinetic experience. I really wish it wasn’t because the writing makes the protagonist come off as an jerk. I really wish I was able to play this and make some choices. Better choices. The story reads as if someone was playing through a visual novel making all of the wrong choices. It sucks and it’s frustrating to read. Check out my full review of this mess on my website where I take this mess apart: http://nardio.net/2016/09/30/vision-aurora-borealis-review/ tl;dr 20 minutes of bad visual novel here... Not worth your time or money.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the story was short, indeed too short that even I had no opportunity to yawn (which I occasionally do while reading any visual novels regardless of good or bad the story). The personalities given for characters were easy to understand, but in term of character development between them, it still has some lacking on it, which I felt awkward at some point thus making the relation felt shallow, felt rushed & not connected deep enough to leave major impact at the end. But still kudos to the team, this novel nevertheless is still good for introduction to those who are new to kinetic visual novel. Light & casual story suitable for everyone, beautiful arts, also nice BGM. Dont bother pay it at full price, wait for the sales instead :)

You've gotta be kidding. This doesn't last even an hour. On top of that, the plot is not coherent. The progress is rushed. It is like cramming a whole year of relationship into a single night. I don't recommend at all. Other free VNs are much better than this.

I found this game while wandering around the Steam store and for the price I decided to buy both the game and DLC, being that I love Visual Novels. First thing I have to say about the game, it is very beautiful and the landscapes and character models are spectacular. The Art style is very beautiful and the music is very soothing to listen to. On the other hand, it does still need some work. The music changes to abruptly and there are constant spelling mistakes. Other than that it is a fantastic game!
