枝江畔之梦 (2022)

⠀

‎

Doesn't seem this has multiple endings, but that doesn't really decline my rating since the story seemed interesting. There are some cliches here and there but overall the writing seems pretty good. The main character's back issues are compelling, it is indeed implied to be psychological which is a known trope idea. "Karol"'s identity crisis is well explored with "the idol image vs the real self" trope, but I think it's still nice to have the short hair vs Long hair difference. I'm not 100% convinced about the idea of the Fan giving up drinking inspired by her, but alright. I'm not entirely sure why Xi Ran was so touched upon meeting Xiang Wan after the statue incident, but I guess reunions are always tearful. Overall so far so good, decent writing and no big complaints here. The cliche of mentioning stars gets a little bit repetitive at the end, and I feel the main character's hip issues are kind of handwaved. But the emotion conveyed is pretty good overall I'd say. (B grade game)

[h1]Before I played 枝江畔之梦, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
