日本人でないけど、昭和時代の魅了すごく感じられる。今プレイし始めたばっかりだけどすぐにその強さ覚えてる。
ヒューモアやスタイルがすごい気になってる。神ゲーに決まっている。

I don't usually write steam reviews but I kinda just want to write this one because this game is very interesting.
I haven't played much of it yet but just from the get-go I have to say I'm hooked. I've been playing MMOs for over two decades and lately the feeling of community and free-form exploration that older MMOs had felt like it was completely gone in modern MMOs. Modern MMOs are nice (FFXIV, etc) but it is definitely a different feeling.

Adding the spice of VR into the mix, however, felt like it brought back the same mood as those games of old. Maybe it's just a honeymoon phase but being able to free-roam in the game world and meeting random people doing random quests, with mic on, being able to just chat with them, point at things, kill random mobs with some relatively skilled combat system (need to block, parry, attack, perform movements to trigger skills in real time, etc) was really nice.

There were a few interesting interactions, just seeing people not noticing their mics were on and hearing them grunt as they attacked or dodged enemy attacks was super funny in a heartwarming community way. I accidentally waved a tutorial away and I felt lost on how to pick up loot, so I approached a bunch of people chatting and asked them for help. They showed me how to do that, started chatting with me, and even added me to their friend list. Keep in mind that I naturally don't enjoy talking to random people in MMOs (unless I have a reason to) and this was definitely a new experience for me.

It feels like playing VRchat a bit, meeting random groups of strangers, but also have a purpose for doing that (do a quest, party up for a boss, etc).

There is a main story but I'm not really that far into it, I just spent most of my time climbing stuff, exploring the map, and fighting monsters to collect loot in the beginner area. Watching people teach beginners how to use sword skills in the starting area really gave me some actual Sword Art Online vibes... which was nice.

Overall, the game is still pretty rough on the edges, if you expect a triple A MMO full of quality and no bugs this might not be for you, but if you just want to dive into it and explore a world with friends (or strangers), this feels like an amazing choice, especially if you're starved for VR games that are beyond just physics simulators.

- Free game
- Amazing and compelling story
- A lot of replayability

10/10 Would get my heart broken again.

I was very reluctant to buy this game at first, it says episode 01 and I know there are more to follow. I was not sure how long it would be and if the story will end or just leave me hanging for a sequel that might or might not ever happen (been there, done that in the past).

However, I ended up buying it because of steam sales and oh boy was I wrong. Why did I not play this before?
The story is great, the artwork is amazing (aside for some secondary areas and backgrounds). This is not a "choose your own story" visual novel with multiple choices and paths, this is just a story. Do you like reading books? Do you like getting immersed in good stories? Then you will like this.

Do you play dating sims and visual novels with "routes" and choices? Do you just want some h-scenes? Then I'm sorry this is probably not to your linking.

The story is long enough to keep you entertained (I clocked 13-14 hours), it is very interesting and at times not so easy to follow so it will require your attention most of the time. If you think you might not like economics and stock trading... well, you might be surprised because this story really makes you want to get more into it. I myself do not really enjoy stock trading but this story almost made me want to get out of my way try my hand at being an investor,it really is that interesting.

The ending fits well with the story and provides somewhat of a closure so you won't be left hanging in the middle of the plot only to be told "yo sorry, go buy the other episodes". Without spoiling anything, it leaves enough space for the following episodes, but at the same time you will feel content with what you have. Just like reading a good book of a trilogy, so do not be afraid to give this game a go. It is totally worth the money in my opinion.

This game is.. certainly something.

Despite the adult rated scenes (which have been removed from the steam version, but can re-added to the game with some trickery) and the grammatical errors/inconsistencies in the English translation, it is actually surprisingly insightful. The story is interesring, the characters are likeable and each of them has different quirks and behaviors. Regardless of which path you choose, this game will leave you with a bittersweet taste which will make you come back to it just because you want to experience more of it.

It's not terribly long so it's perfect for people who want to get into simple Visual Novels as a genre, it is fun, spooky at times, interesting and a single playthrough won't let you touch all the details and hidden events that happen at the magical Sovionok camp.

I definitely recommend this game, play it, it's free and it will be a memorable experience.
