Bloody Chronicles - New Cycle of Death Visual Novel

I'll start with 'art was good' because this is the only good thing I can say about this game. At first it gave off some [i]Kara no Shoujo[/i] vibes with gruesome murders and all but it all went down the drain with flat jokes, storyline that leads nowhere and supposedly adult detectives behaving like preschoolers. At the point when lily of the valley was stated as deadly poison I almost stopped reading but it all got way worse when I finally did. All in all what you should be aware of: - voice acting. It's flat and most actors struggle with Japanese names so much it's painful; - characters. Their personalities (assuming they had any to begin with) are all over the place, like a bunch of different people wrote lines for the same character at different points in time; - humour. 'This is a chicken. This is a chicken joke. A chicken joke about chicken. Why aren't you laughing?!' - detective work. I don't even know where to start, that's how bad it is. Characters struggle with the most obvious clues, come to random conclusions based on 'I have the main character powers!' magic and could make a chair look highly intelligent in comparison. I'm glad I bought this game on sale and sad I b…

The overall premise and art seemed nice enough, and I like that it had voice acting. Not the greatest acting, but it's easy background noise. That being said, my favorite feature was the skip button, and how it automatically moves you to the next dialogue choice, rather than make you sit a bit while it forwards. I lost interest in the story during the first chapter, and quickly saw it just wasn't going to get any better than this. If you must play this, I suggest waiting for it to go on sale.

A promising VN at its beginning that went south due to developer's shift on other games: That's the title that I'm giving this review, while it may seem bad, I'm going to talk about the positive aspects that initially drawn me to like this game. The start of the game opens up to a [spoiler]horrific accident that causes the protagonist of this game to lose their parents,[/spoiler] already within the first few minutes, we have some backstory about the main character that we play as. As we progress through the game, we become acquainted with a few other characters, Suzumi, Kaoru, Aki, Akito, and a few others that are quite important to the story, but the enlisted ones are part of the detective team that we work at. You work alongside the characters, but at times just get to have regular, outside of work conversations that people would have if they were not dealing with a morbid, out of the ordinary crime scene. The ending of the game is the same, regardless of what choices you make throughout the game, though who comes to see the main character on one of the final days can be different depending on the choices you make, Suzumi, Kaoru, Aki, or Akito. Each of the scenes in their own …

I really enjoyed playing this game for the first time, because it has an interesting story. Also the voice actors did a good job, which makes it easy to feel more involved into whats going on. Another thing I like is the musical support with different soundtracks that make it easy to read but also to feel the atmosphere. What I dislike is the certain amount of spelling mistakes, although the language (I played in english) isn't hard to understand and I learned some more words too. If you are interested in this game, you should consider that this is only Part 1, so the end overall isn't the end of the whole Bloody Chronicles. If there was a Part 2, I would definitely buy that too, because it really got thrilling at the end of Part 1.
