interesting plotAfter completing Cross+Channel it took me some time to move on to this next visual novel, Yume Miru Kusuri. It has been on my hard drive for more than a year but only till the last week I've started on the game. Thanks to my roommate sonximang recommendation, I set up hoping for another unorthodox storyline.
Well I kinda want a change of atmosphere halfway through the game. The plot is...erm unique in its own way, but it doesn't create a story with enough conflict and emotion for an outstanding game. That is to say, but the three main heroine routes are all very interesting and good to play, even though much more predictable than the last games I've played. They included the idea of pregnancy (hell I dont know where this come from), which is good for a H-game. It's not the only one I know of (I'm expecting the other one to come out too ). The story is painfully real, a bit too painful to read at times. Too bad it's a bit short with way too much H-scene. It's a good read in general, away from your typical school life romance, but way below excellence.
The art is quite nice from my point of view. I like the depiction of most characters except Mizuki's sprite, which is a bit emotionless at times. Again too much HCG. It contains about 3/4 HCG, which is useless for a normal playthrough.
The music is not superb, fitting to the scenarios at least, and convey some of the mood. I'm not gonna get the OST for this game. By the way I really hate how AkabeiSoft2 seperate the vocals from their Sharin no Kuni OST. Another way to rip off the fans.
That's it for this week. Hopefully I can finish Tsukihime soon and post some thoughts about it.
