A Clockwork Ley-Line: Flowers Falling in the Morning Mist

Having just finished the trio up with this, I can recommend the entire Clockwork series. Magic, mayhem, and everything tidied up at the end ... I enjoyed my time with this cast of characters. It isn't perfect, but it's really good ... and it's hard to find truly magic-themed VNs. Rito's "After Story" was a surprisingly long and detailed adventure, and was a really nice touch. [spoiler] I wish she could have gained a soul, but it was a sweet story anyway [/spoiler] Overall, I feel that this series is criminally overlooked, and is worth playing.

I'm writing this half a year after finishing the trilogy, but I still remember it all. The games are interesting, but they suffer [spoiler]from a lack of real antagonists. There aren't any really ill-willed characters here, when they act wrong, it's because of lack of information or because they were "programmed" to do so years prior to the story, or because they're being controlled by the "baddies" -which aren't so. You uncover the past, and it isn't pleasant, but it isn't really anyone's fault either. This detracts from the impact of the game.[/spoiler] That's my major gripe with the game, otherwise it's enjoyable

Great conclusion to a good trilogy. Ushio peak heroine btw I haven't seen an actually good tsundere heroine for a long while

This game is pure heat. I'd highly recommend this series to anybody even remotely interested in visual novels. It was such a great experience with tons of plot twists along the way. There are some romance elements to it, but it is not the focus of the game, however you can get those types of scenes after completing the main story should you desire it. Do note that this is the third game in the Ley-Line series, and the first game is slightly lacking in context and depth, but the 2nd and 3rd games totally make up for the 1st's shortcomings. The 3rd game makes playing the entire series worth it alone.

Clockwork Ley-Line turned out to be a pretty good series overall. It has a good OST - especially the OP and ED songs and a pretty well-written story if you can ignore some plot holes and inconsistencies that get introduced. For the most part if you're looking at the third entry of the series you know what to expect already. Characters are all pretty well written and are believable. There are 9 ecchi scenes present that are all in the after or another stories. I really enjoyed the story, and it actually managed to surprise me at a few points, which does not happen often. The only downside is one I've complained about before [spoiler] when dealing with any story that involves any kind of time travel, there are almost always plot holes or inconsistencies that end up introduced that you just have to accept, and I struggle with that. [/spoiler] Even with that said, I'd recommend this series to any VN enjoyer who is looking for an entertaining story to read.
