7 Lives

It seemed interesting at first but then the story got really weird and felt very forced. It had an interesting premise but I don't think it was developed very well.

4/10 7 Lives is a unique visual novel in terms of story but poorly translated to the point you can barely make the story out. My takeaway: 7 Lives (which has nothing to do with the movie) is a story about a man trapped in a reoccurring curse with his student. Although the story is unique it leaves too many questions and holes IF you're able to make the story out through it's very very poor translated writing. Their are times where you have to use context clues to understand what's happening. That being said- the achievements are easy to get and you only have to endure around 1.5 hrs of game-play.

The summer collapses in the winter, the leaves of the trees go from the ground to its stem, the rain falls towards the heavens and the sun rises in the west. Days of reversal, indecisive and fragile time converging at its beginning and ending point, but, who observes this convergence? Who is the witness of the everything and nothing? In his attempt to change the course of time, a man will give everything to restore the distorted reality that has been created over his life by taking it to the most unthinkable human limit. About the game The average duration of the game is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. It contains 7 different endings. Your decisions matter. The time will flow as you choose.

I have a hard time recommending this VN, although the price is not high it just does not seem worth it in the end. I played through both timelines and I had such a hard time following what exactly was going on due to the poor grammar. I did enjoy the art in the game as well as the music though by the second playthrough I was kind of tired of it. I think if this game were given a proper translation it might be ok, but as it is I can't recommend it.

[Context/ disclaimer: I played it in spanish, its original language] I did not hated it. This is a text based videogame with some auster visual elements to complement the experiencie. I consider that this game overall have a good idea for a plot, but at the end, it is a typical causality loop story, indeed. In a positive note, the story is captivating enough that after a while it makes you forget and forgive that the visual elements are limitated and repetitive. The text is functional enough so the player could imagine the details that are not shown in any capacity. Now, the plot could have benefited from a couple of reads, rereads, writes, and rewrites. Unfortunately, especially at the beginning, the writing feels a bit clunky and unorganic, and perhaps that is a barrier that could prevent players from advancing in the adventure. In Spanish there are a couple of spelling errors, but nothing particularly horrifying. I don't quite understand the choice to set the story in some kind of Japan with access to a New Mexico's Alburqueque. At first I found these geographical and cultural factors extremely distracting, but in the grand scheme they were irrelevant, strange without a …
