Gensokyo：Presumption of Guilt~Pansies Before Dawn

The story (from what I can read, anyway) looks pretty good. But there's a big problem: The translation is pretty awful. It ruins the allure of the story big time. The notebook is unusable. The menu, choice, and map options are flat out untranslated. There are a few fullscreen images with text on it (chapter titles and the content warning screen) that are also untranslated. What translation you do get looks like it was done by Google Translate. The lines aren't even edited to keep the English text in the text box. The font size needs to be smaller. I want to recommend this (the story I say thus far seems pretty good), but I can't do that with the translation in this state. Do better. I may change this review to a positive if the translation is fixed.

Barely translated, with relevant parts of the interface outside of the dialogue box like choices and notes being in Chinese. Also some kind of text bug that causes all of the text to no longer display after Chapter 2. As a game in itself, just a weird execution of an obvious concept. The story takes place in the Human Village, and so this Touhou fangame has barely any Touhou girls. Overly wordy and literal narration. The main character is pleasantly crafty and clever, but that didn't help me shake the feeling that this is someone attempting their own Higurashi and not coming close to par.

Gensokyo: Presumption of Guilt ~ Pansies Before Dawn is an ambitious narrative-focused visual novel developed by 戏壤游戏 (Xirang Games) in collaboration with 游戏土壤 (Gaming Soil). The game transports players to the enigmatic land of Gensokyo, a secluded world where humans, spirits, and supernatural beings exist under fragile rules and ancient traditions. Rather than presenting itself as a typical fantasy adventure, the game frames its story around a complex criminal investigation that slowly spirals into something far more philosophical and unsettling. From the very beginning, the tone is heavy with intrigue and suspicion, placing players into a mystery where truth is elusive and every character seems to be hiding something beneath the surface. The narrative unfolds through the perspective of a protagonist who becomes entangled in a case that challenges the social and moral order of Gensokyo. A series of suspicious incidents and crimes forces the characters to confront a troubling question: in a world where supernatural forces distort reality and perception, how can guilt truly be determined? The game’s title reflects this dilemma perfectly, suggesting that accusations often come befor…

无论如何，这个故事值得一个好评 先说缺点吧 1、立绘我看下来最好看的还是阿麟本体，还有就是阿求（但是阿秋色调也太亮了）其他角色说实话质量有点低了，前后画风有些地方还有点不一致，琉璃这个原创女主的脸有点不太行 2、真在剧情里活跃的车万角色有点少了，最多的居然是阿求、大狸子、妹红，不过标题毕竟是夜明前（看到标题就知道肯定要说灵梦登场前的事了，但是人里居然没乡长还是很让人意外啊） 3、信息量炸弹，剧情整体还是挺缜密闭环的，但一下子给的信息还是太多了，权谋起来也很烦人呢，不过故事把控的很不错，只要跟着剧情走，不去思考回看也没什么影响 优点主要还是故事，我最喜欢的就是这样的故事 讲的是一个自愿牺牲的故事，讲的是一个没有人需要牺牲的故事，讲的是一个众志成城的故事，讲的是一个人定胜天的故事 固然，近乎一个童话，但我希望我们同样可以奔向这样一个童话般的结局 这个故事里的很多话，很多内容，很多表达的东西，是中国人所独有的 ”讲好中国故事，不一定要讲中国的故事” 我由衷的希望有更多的朋友能来看看这个故事 Anyway, this story deserves a positive review. Let's start with the drawbacks: 1.In terms of the artwork, the best-looking character is still Arin herself, along with Akyuu (though Akyuu's color palette is way too bright). Honestly, the quality of the other characters feels a bit lacking, and there are some inconsistencies in the art style between different parts. Ruri, the original female protagonist, has a rather unappealing face. 2.There are actually very few Touhou characters who actively play a role in the plot. The most prominent ones are Akyuu, Mamizou, and Mokou. However, since the title is "Before Dawn" (which already hints that the story is set before Reimu's appearance), it's still quite surprising that the Village Chief do…

很好的故事。世界观构架很精彩，人间之里的社会结构和和妖怪的外交关系描写的很好。以[spoiler]人间之里的政变[/spoiler]为主线，所以推理内容不那么多，主要的是看老狐狸在勾心斗角。 阿求，[spoiler]小樱桃（原创角色），文，椛[/spoiler]的立绘很可爱。
