Heileen 1: Sail Away

[h1] Splat of dongo in your library. [/h1]

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

A great visual novel.

It’s a solid visual novel with all the makings of an indie game. I really enjoy the closed proximity vibes where the whole cast is stuck in one place navigating around each other. Just don't expect deep character arcs, you don’t learn much about them beyond Heileen’s own perspective. The endings are quite limited, basically just a slight shift in the final chapter, but having played the sequels, I know it gets way better later on. This one feels more like a prologue for the rest of the series, so I’m not gonna be too hard on it. Suffice to say, It was a fun game.

Average visual novel and the story is really bland, characters lack humanity feels like everyone is a stiff robot. Won't recommended this game to anyone such a waste of time. Protagonist is really weak and meak and her dialogues are dumb af.
