This SUPREMELY EXTREMELY NEUTRAL review will be simple and to the point. I don't want this to turn into an essay of a college level that can get into the most prestigious academy of great and talented writers. What I SUPER liked: The "Guardian" by "GentlePunk" soundtrack. It is epic. It's amazing. I think I heard it the most as it is in the menu and it helped me take the necessary breaks. Kudos, kudos and more kudos to ya! What I liked: The artwork/CGs -> Especially the delicious ICE CREAM! The lewd scene! The one and only! It was surprising that it was actually in there! (Don't worry it isn't arousing... I mean it's not 18+) Yoshiro's look. Kinda. His body was the only one of the guys that seemed to have the correct proportions. He is also the only one with the CG of a crossbow... If only he pointed it more to the right and fired... Sigh. What I dislike: MC and Grandma. I first hated Yuki too, until I realized she would be better suited to be the heroine. The MC (to me) comes off a self-centered/ narcissistic / uncaring person who orders... EVEN THE HEIR OF ANOTHER CLAN to do things for her! EVERYONE is a servant for her! She doesn't care about the other…

[h1] IDK What I Read But.. [/h1] This visual novel is a blend of (Imo) love craftian elements, a dash of humor, cute chibi art and sort of doesn't make sense in most of the story. Play it if its your cup of tea, my mind is to not recommend tbh but I feel it's not that super bad also. So it's a bit conflicting oh well. I loved the music and the character sprites above anything. You follow the life of a heiress in Bakuto clan some sort of a Japanese mafia gang from the old times. There are a few other factions to which the Bakuto clan has feuds with. Then out of nowhere you realise the heroine has powers which I don't really see the origin from. It seems to be related to a phantom, a love craftian based monster which seems very powerful. The story is literally about uniting with the other factions and saving the world from this monster. Compared to many love craftian entities, the monster however is not that aggressive or evil and is negotiable I noticed. But I really don't feel the logic behind it. I know in love craftian stories things are a bit messy in general, but I understood naught. The story is also shoujo ai friendly but nothing major happens. The characters are okay, th…

Guardian of the Future is a story-driven visual novel that blends romance, fantasy, and suspense into a character-focused narrative about responsibility, choice, and the weight of destiny. Developed and published by Lotos Project, the game places its emphasis firmly on storytelling, presenting a world where personal relationships are inseparable from large-scale threats and political tension. Rather than functioning as a simple romance or slice-of-life experience, it frames emotional bonds as meaningful forces that can influence the fate of entire clans and, ultimately, the future of the world itself. The story follows Miyuri, a determined young woman raised within the strict traditions of the Bakuto clan, a family bound by martial discipline and inherited power. As the heir to her lineage, she carries the expectations of leadership and legacy, shaped in part by the shadow of her late mother. Miyuri’s personal goals are quickly complicated when she learns that an arranged marriage has been planned to ease a long-standing conflict with the rival Tekiya clan. What initially appears to be a political maneuver soon reveals deeper implications, as the fragile peace between clans is tie…

I Enjoyed the VN :D And would say to give it a go if you like otome VN's

i know there's a lot of mixed feelings on this game, but me personally. i loved it, i have completed all endings and all character routes. Arashi is my favourite, but i enjoyed them all. i really hope they make a series out of this, especially with the way each ending hints at more. the character art is beautiful, and the storyline is actually good. it's certainly different to other visual novels, i could even picture this making an rpg game, although i doubt we will ever see that happen. still i hope they make more games in this world, i would definitely buy more.
