About The Future Radio and the Artificial Pigeons

✦ AI summary

The Future Radio and the Artificial Pigeons is a visual novel set in 2061 where you follow a young tinkerer who builds a mysterious radio that receives broadcasts from his own death three weeks in the future, forcing him to uncover the truth behind a world where artificial pigeons have consumed all radio waves and severed humanity's connections. The game stands out for its blend of sci-fi mystery, time paradoxes, and romance as you work to change a predetermined fate while exploring the ruins of a lost world.

"The Future Radio and the Artificial Pigeons" is a Japanese-style visual novel produced by Laplacian, a Japanese developer of romance visual novels.




July 10, 2061, Sunday. City: Nariyama. Prefecture: Chiba.

Yamanashi Sora designed a new radio using spare parts.

"Phew... Just in time."

That day marked the fifteenth year since the artificial pigeons started devouring all radio waves.
On it, Sora began broadcasting using the transceiver left to him by his father.

The day after his first rocky radio program, the radio picked up a different mysterious broadcast.

This is a follow-up report on the fall of "Blue Sky."
The person caught up in the accident at the former site of Terminal 1 has been identified.
The name of the deceased is Yamanashi Sora. Furthermore, many injuries are being reported at Nariyama Sky Academy."

It was a radio broadcast from the future.

"I'll... die in three weeks?"

After listening to the ominous broadcast, Sora stepped into the terminal for the first time in fifteen years.
It was once the former gateway to Japan and the place where Sora lost his parents.
The building was in ruins, a shadow of its former glory, little more than a nest to countless artificial pigeons.
There, Sora met a silver-haired maiden. She looked straight at Sora, gently stroking an artificial pigeon with her finger.

"...You won't die."

Sora was dumbfounded.

"I won't let it happen."
"Because I want you to look up at the sky and smile."

This is how Yamanashi Sora and Hazuki Kaguya met.



2061, Japan.

Mankind has lost the sky, and with it, its connections.

All of it was taken away by birds...
...By countless artificial pigeons flying through the sky.

The artificial pigeons were initially created as a worldwide wireless network that covers the entire globe.
But one day, they turned and began to eat the same airwaves they were meant to carry.
They feast on radio waves, breeding uncontrollably until they're the only birds left in the sky.

The first thing humanity lost was its communication network.

This caused great turmoil in a digital world that had already transitioned away from analog technology.
All information sent through radio waves was quickly blocked.
Even airplane control systems stopped working, rendering them unable to safely land.

The day the pigeons turned, eight planes fell around the Nariyama International Airport.
With all remaining planes grounded indefinitely, the airport was abandoned.

And so, mankind lost the sky.

But then, 15 years after that fateful day...

In an attempt to reclaim humanity's connection with the sky, a young tinkerer constructs a new kind of radio...

...A radio that mysteriously receives broadcasts from the future.

The story has an interesting premise but poor execution, as a fan of Laplacian’s previous work a.k.a ‘Newton and the Apple Tree’, I truly wanted to like this story yet I couldn’t till the end. Like Newton and the Apple Tree’, Future Radio’s sci-fi gimmick is shallow without an in-depth exploration of the established premise, however, Newton’s characters feel truly developed while Radio’s has none of it. A common rule of ladder structure story is the narrative allows every character to have some form of development and this development persists even if their route wasn’t chosen at the end of the story, Radio’s storytelling fails in this aspect. The common route may bring the whole group together but it doesn’t have enough time to flesh out other members once the main heroine joins in. The romance feels abrupt without substantial intimacy, the humor is cringe, and there are many loose ends that the author blatantly tries to gloss over such as the cause of the first-midnight broadcast that kickstarts the whole story, Kaguya's dad, the breeding feature of the Artificial Pigeon, etc. At the climax of the story and even in the after-story, the author ignores the friend group’s dynamic to…

Future Radio is a game I wanted to read for a long time and finally I gave it a chance. What always drew me in was the art and the opening that can you see on the steam page so I had high expectations. What I really liked was the beginning. It's set in a future where artificial pigeons eat communication waves and it makes you wonder why they do that and how to fight it. Really fast you have a cast of really likable characters that grow on you and that support you. The game looks good, the music is fitting and the common route is really enjoyable. The only problem I have with this game is that I wished the story was more fleshed out. It's never boring and I had long play sessions with fun but I always had the feeling they could have made the story better. The character routes are only okayish and sometimes I really don't like how the MCs friends are pushed aside by himself, especially in Kaguya's route i found it terrible. What leaves me is on one side an enjoyable game that I would recommend for the common route alone but the character routes drag the game a bit down imo. I gave it a 7/10 For the best experience I recommend to get the adult patch from the publisher Nekonyan, wh…

The art was nice. The characters and the humor, mostly OK. Voice acting was alright when it’s there. The story, I can’t care enough to finish it. I suspended my disbelief to the premise of plot, it was hard, but it’s fiction. That wasn’t the main issue for me. Once a certain character joins you in a manner of speaking, I just lost interest.

An interesting premise, the story is good and like how it also feel similar to the Newton and the Apple Tree that I really love. The similarities are from the story involves time and science. One thing I do wish is the story to be longer with mostly having to know more of the other characters since the majority of the story was focusing on the plot that relates to the pigeons. Even when reaching to one of their routes, it does show more on the character but felt short. The music is really nice, I was actually feeling the setting and situation going on when playing through the story.
