Light and Shadow - Doppelganger

Surprisingly Hardcore... i started from Light route to Shadow route and i never thought it will go to that level of extremism... This game is Great and Bad... gameplay is okay and it could be better... progressing and branching can be a little confusing... there is also ingame bug that havent been fixed or patche yet... but the story is uniquely interesting and that part is great. i wont spoil anything but.. things really took a turn... Light was not even close to what happen in Shadow definitely get on SALE if you are interested... --- Nora should have chosen a peaceful life instead... there is nothing good about revenge ..only grief

Light and Shadow – Doppelganger is a story-driven role-playing game developed by Geocentrism Theory and published by Hanabi Games. Built in the style of classic Japanese RPGs, the game combines traditional top-down exploration, narrative dialogue sequences, and turn-based encounters within a linear adventure focused heavily on character development. Rather than attempting to deliver a massive open world or highly complex gameplay systems, the game concentrates on its central narrative themes, exploring the psychological struggle between justice and revenge through the journey of its protagonist. The result is a modest but emotionally focused RPG that prioritizes storytelling and atmosphere over expansive mechanics. The narrative follows a young woman named Nora, whose life is shaped by a devastating tragedy that destroys the peaceful existence she once knew. After being raised by loving adoptive parents, Nora’s world collapses when violence strikes her home, leaving her driven by grief and a powerful desire for vengeance.

This is one of those games tjhat I feel deserves a neutral rating -- it wasn't terrible, but I can't say I'd really run home to recommend it either. While the base story and concept were pretty good and I liked the start of the game, it kind of became overly grindy after a while, being an rpg maker game that seemed to much like an rpg maker game -- to much grinding, to many puzzzles, lots of one line npcs that never change. With the patch added there was the hint of some adult content, though I quickly became to powerful for that to be a possibility. If you looking for a classic adult rpg maker game, its not bad at that, but I can't say I'd really recommend it either, thoiugh I'll give it a vague pass rating as it doesn't really deserve a failing rating either. In the end with recommendations to have less grinding and to have more npcs that are actually reactive and changable with the story and just more for the protaganist to do outside of endlessly grinding, I give it 2.5 out of 5 paths.

I like the Paladin part of the game but wish that there were more CGs. On the Assassin side, the CGs were not my cup of tea even though there were a lot of them. The contents were a bit too strong for me and the whole body frame of the main character was too small. Don't really like a small girl being beaten up.
