RAKKA: WAKE 01 - SOOT

I'm actually like kind of obsessed with this game I played the demo first and was absolutely stunned. I feel so cool just being the player reading through it. Very stylish visual aesthetic and the music is fire too. As I've continued through the full game, I find the writing is super engaging and the humor is peak. Plus every single one of our main characters has been very expressive, and they each seem to have a lot of depth as well. Every aspect of this game comes together just right to create an incredibly fascinating, immersive, and unique experience. I can't stop telling people about this VN or hype it up enough. No complaints or issues so far. If you're on the fence about playing this, I urge you to give it a chance. Content creator recommendation: makes a great game if you enjoy voice acting characters. The pacing is really good and my chat has really loved the visuals especially.

I still intend to finish the game when i am able but i wanted to drop my thoughts on the game so far! So far i think the game is wonderfully written, drawn and composed. The characters have flaws, vices, but also good points to them as well and that makes them feel human and also can give the player/reader more of a faceted opinion on them. As for my favorite, at the moment it's Sacha, i always like the more serious types and hes serious and snarky at the same time while being one who seems like he doesnt like to ask for help! Music: The music in this game is well done! I like how mulitple tracks use the main theme in different ways ((Cellphone tone, happy tone, somber tone)) it also fits the era and i can tell love was put into it. I def will get the soundtrack at a later date. Art: I love the artstyle, the sketchy stlye reminds me of another VN i played int he day called Hotel Dusk and when i heard the devs also liked that style i was pretty interested. The background art is detailed, and the posters and backdrops are fun to hunt around, ((EX: the cure poster at the aparment.)) The setting is also a setting i dont see too often in games and that is the london rave/punk cult…

I was given a free Steam key for the game in exchange for a non-binding promise of nebulous "some form of coverage". I was not otherwise coached on what to do, say, or expect, and I have not been compensated in any way. Everything below this line is purely my own thoughts. The first thing you see every time you open RAKKA: WAKE 01 is the game's graffiti-style logo unfolding on paper in front of a boiling backdrop of crinkly black paper. The second thing you see is a fully animated opening movie set to an original indie rock song. This intro looks AMAZING - professional quality OP for an especially stylish anime. I know this probably applies to, like, every game on Steam, but seriously, the compressed trailers on the website do not at all do justice to the visuals in the game. GITGOT did not particularly tell me what to expect from RAKKA: WAKE 01 before I started playing, but one vibe I definitely got from our conversations is that this is something an art collective made for the love of art and then found themselves scrabbling to find a way to monetize after the fact. I play a lot of indie art and story-centric games, and RAKKA: WAKE 01 has some of the most focused and stylish ar…

This is an easygoing VN that immerses you in a world of '90s music festivals and friendship, with incredible art and music and hints of something darker beneath that will surely surface in future installments.

I was expecting an average visual novel, but oh boy does this game have personality There's not much gameplay to speak of, but the storytelling, especially the pacing is exquisite A strong 8.5/10 imo, highly recommended for the price point

A truly amazing game, especially, not long after I returned from a big music festival, the vibes in chapter 3 and 4 were immaculate
