No One But You is a Visual Novel with four heroines to choose from players are given choices to make in the game and depending on your choices it will change the outcome of the story. Developed by Unwonted Studios and published by Unwonted Studios, Sekai Project and can be found on MangaGamer store.

The Story
At first glance looks like your normal typical romance visual novel but, I was so wrong about this when you get into the game you will be met with the “common route” which is quite standard and can be found in many romance visual novel. But once you get into the routes, lets take Megumi for example once going into her route there was an gloomy atmosphere and all around which I really loved.

Upon returning, Hideaki re-discovers a town he knew from childhood, meeting new friends and reuniting with those he had long forgotten. He resumes his high school life in the big city, quickly adapting to the change in pace, and before he knows it, Hideaki begins to think of this city as his home once more.

Hideaki’s life in Okutama is upbeat and fun, thanks to the many friends he makes, including Megumi, an energetic student council member; Chinatsu, a reserved senior in the literature club; Shiro, an unsociable music-lover; and Yui, an obstinate girl who rarely expresses herself honestly.

Surrounded by an interesting group of friends, Hideaki lives out his days without a care in the world, content to enjoy a normal high school life. Whether he’s going out with friends or studying for exams, his new life is truly peaceful.

As Hideaki’s stay in Okutama continues, ghosts from his past begin to come back, increasingly intruding on the new life he’s trying to build. As if that wasn’t bad enough, his new friends all have secrets of their own, and the more Hideaki involves himself with their daily lives, the deeper into mutual despair he sinks.

Will you be able to put to rest the evils of the past and finally live out the normal high school life you crave? Will you be able to put your friends’ minds at ease, erasing the trauma and misery ruining their otherwise peaceful lives?

Audio and Visual elements
Background, CGs art – They are generally good I liked the soft colors being used in the backgrounds as it completely compliments together with other visual factors that can be found in the game like Character sprites and CGs. As for the CGs of this game are very pleasant to look at and the art style is very “charming” with the use of bright colors to depict the mood and environment.

Audio Elements – The music sets the mood for every situation, depicting playfulness, happiness, agony and many more. Overall the music in game is above average and it has 35 music tracks which could be found in the “Extras” area. Among all I loved this track in particular “Don’t Forget” which lasts 5:38 minutes. [This is personal preference mainly because its a piano song and I do like songs like these]

To sum up
I would recommend this Visual Novel if you do like romance, school and obviously Visual Novels themselves. I honestly did not expect it to be so well written where you get too see character development and plot changes here and there. On the surface No One But You looks like a standard romance Visual Novel but I was really surprised by this Visual Novel. Overall I could say I do not recommend on missing out on this title.

yeah i did not bother to get the 18+

i spoke to meru about it too, it seems she did not get the patch too...
Mr. Hugh Mannity Oct 15, 2016 @ 4:16am 
Rather than a patch, you have to buy the whole 18+ version of the game again for a full price from MG. You sure you don't have it? I feel stupid for not reading the forum first and now I'm way out of the playtime to get a refund.
Hskw Oct 15, 2016 @ 4:14am 
no i did not get the key from the KS, I got it directly from the dev.

About the patch and stuff I am no sure what really happen. If you could mind filling me in?

I have read the forums on it but still can't get any clear image on the whole issue.
Mr. Hugh Mannity Oct 15, 2016 @ 4:12am 
Hey man, you got the key from the kickstarter right? Can you help a brother out and provide us the h-patch since the dev doesn't want to do it?

thanks for giving a real review of this game compared to the other people who left their thoughts on the page. Now I can decide a lot easier on if I'll like this or not.

What the fuck is this shit? This is for virgins, nobody else could possibly find this entertaining. Only a socially retarded home-schooled weeaboo... who desperately needs to change his life.
