Black Lilies - Eternal Summer

Black Lilies - Eternal Summer is a visual novel about a group of friends who are trapped in a time loop of their summer vacation. I was interested in it because it takes place more than a decade after the loops began, which is different from a lot of time loop stories. Because the game was made almost entirely by one person, the presentation is pretty basic - each character sprite has a few poses but only one outfit, and there are very few CGs. The music is fine but nothing special. I did like the map where you could choose what you did each day, but I'm pretty sure that until the third section you actually have to do all of the things anyway so it creates a sort of illusion of choice. I noticed quite a few typos in the text, but no real bugs or glitches. The story was fine - I actually really liked the second chapter - but it drags on way too long with the main character doing variations on the same thing over and over.

cute visual novel about a time loop mystery and cute girls~! uwu because visual novels are very story-oriented, there's not much i can say without spoiling it, but i'll do my best to keep spoilers as light as possible (extra important for a mystery vn too). there's also a lot of subjectivity and personal preference involved as to whether or not you may enjoy this, so i'll write about my experiences and allow you to decide if it sounds appealing to you uwu the story is definitely dark, but i wouldn't call it horror (at least not the jumpscare kind). the mature content description by the developer lists potential triggers pretty thoroughly. it's not a super dark story, so it's great for if you want a story that's not too extreme. personally, i think the highlight of the story is the mystery. i ended up buying the game 'cause my sister saw me looking at it, and she's a big mystery fan, so she asked me to read it with her. we had a fun time taking it slow as we tried to deduce the mystery together. it's not an overly-complicated one, and it's very realistic for the reader to figure it out. plus, the developer really went out of their way to cover all the different questions the read…

Not quite finished yet, but it's honestly better than expected. The writing is pretty good, the girls are mostly memorable and the art sorta grows on you after a while

if you are thinking of playing this, go for it. its a lovely game and i am honestly sad at how little attention it has had so far. absolutley loved playing it.
