Dear Devere

CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! Dear Devere A short visual novel about a magical creature and a human girl falling in love on a Scottish island in the mid 30s. The game has a beautiful artstyle. I loved seeing the letters whenever a new one appeared. The characters shined through how they styled their letters. From Calwood's empty and soulless letters to Mr. Devere's beautiful pieces of art. I loved the dialogue. It was well written and the voice acting was amazing. I was confused at first when I read the non-love letters but I love that detail. I really liked the plot about the agents who were involved due to the era. I was wondering when I first saw the setting if there would be any war references and there indeed were. Overall this is a great game that I highly recommend. I finished it in 28 minutes but i may have been semi speedrunning it. If you have some free time download it and give it a try. Thank you for the experience Jasmin.

Her routine changes after she sends a letter that unexpectedly receives a response from the mysterious Mr. Devere. From there, the entire narrative unfolds through their exchanged correspondence as the two characters slowly reveal their fears, memories, loneliness, and hopes. The game’s unusual structure works remarkably well because every emotional …

Игра 'Dear Devere' — это небольшое, но очень трогательное интерактивное письмо. Ты погружаешься в историю молодой девушки, пишущей своему другу, ушедшему на войну. По мере прохождения читаешь её мысли, тревоги и надежды, выраженные через прекрасную, словно акварельную, графику и спокойную, меланхоличную музыку. Механика проста: нужно кликать по объектам на экране, чтобы продвигаться дальше в рассказе и узнавать новые детали о жизни героини и её окружении. Ощущение от игры — это тихая грусть и светлая надежда. Видно, что над проектом работали люди, вложившие в него душу. 'Dear Devere' заставляет задуматься о ценности мирной жизни и о том, как война влияет на судьбы обычных людей. Несмотря на короткую продолжительность, игра оставляет после себя сильное впечатление и долгое послевкусие. Это не просто развлечение, а скорее интерактивный рассказ, который трогает до глубины души. Рекомендую всем, кто ценит эмоциональные и атмосферные игры.
