[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34294631/] Follow Far2close - Visual Novel Playthroughs Curator Page [/url] ARTISAN Developer: STARRYWARE, The Order of the Frame Publisher: STARRYWARE [b]Pros:[/b] [b]1.[/b] The story's setting is straightforward; a battle royale. The plot is fascinating being centered on artworks but we the human goes up on display, our life is the canvas. Easy to understand and easy to jump into, however the characters are what stands out the most. Each character and their Artisan are made with so much care, it's amazing to see. For example with Link, his Artisan can't attack unarmed individuals, this goes along with his personality as he is a good natured person and strives to do what is morally right even if the only visible options are wrong. To go more in depth, the following will be hidden to not spoil anything. [spoiler] Link's Great Wave's other ability is Thirty Six Views of Fuji, where Great Wave can take form into entities that can counter the corresponding opposing fighter. This also fits in with Link's moral compass as he truly wants everyone to band together and escape using their capabilities. Ferris' Vetruvian Man's ability to scan othe…3 found this helpful
This is actually just an amazing story, I am shocked that I can't find anything else from Starryware, this does not look like a first project. Artisan does not just compete with the greats, I would say it surpases them. The charaters are amazing, the story is incredibly creative, the writting is masterfull... Honestly I could praise this novel for hours, I hope to read more from the same that crafted this.2 found this helpful
(Insert Night Gallery Intro here) Jesus. Christ. I am EXHAUSTED. I honestly want an adaptation of this now. That's not an easy feat. How are more people not talking about this? I honestly want an adaptation of this now. Would I say pick this up? Hell yes, I would. Art's good, the references I appreciate, the animation is good, but the draw for me are the characters. There's multiple endings to this, apparently, and I'll likely going to see what some of them are.1 found this helpful
Not a bad looking game but would have been better with combat.
This vn deserves a lot more attention. The story, characters[spoiler](Cleo is my favorite)[/spoiler], and art/animation are all great. There are also different endings. I'm really surprised that almost no one has heard of it, with how much work & love was put into it, and that this is the only project that The Order of the Frame/StarryWare has done. I would love to see more from them or at least find the writer or artist.
More of a visual novel than a game, but incredible either way. 10/10 would cry over fictional characters again.
