Lilja and Natsuka Painting Lies

I went back and forth on whether to recommend this VN or not, but about [u]80% of it bored me[/u] to various degrees. From a technical standpoint it's perfectly fine, there are some beautiful CGs and the OST is serviceable with a few tracks that stand out, the voice acting is good too, as is the translation. Unfortunately I didn't find it an enjoyable read, which saddens me to say because the main relationship is quite fascinating with really lovely moments (if you treat their [b]incredibly puzzling age gap[/b] as a non-factor, you have to be willing to ignore it just like the game does, the same story could've been told with both of them being of legal age so I don't understand why it's like this). My [b]main issue[/b] is its [u][b]repetitiveness[/b][/u], some concepts really get hammered on [i]over and over again[/i] to the point of frustration. While not being exclusive to it, this issue is felt the most when it comes to the "mystery" aspect of the game; a lot of the time it's clear what's really going on but due to the protagonist's characterization the reader is usually ten steps ahead of her, and even when she finally catches on [b]one has to read through the characters' te…

This visual novel was incredibly lovely! I'm a big fan of Asou Ei's previous work, including Euphoria, and the writing just gets better and better with every release. This is a very emotional story, beautiful in its discussions of themes centering art, disability, and religion. The main characters are incredibly real, very lovable, and I loved witnessing their stories, seeing their flaws, and rooting for them throughout. Their love for each other is beautiful and very realistic. The side characters are all wonderful and get fleshed out well for their time in the story, too, a very pleasant surprise. Overall a very good game, and I definitely recommend it, especially for any big fans of yuri!

pretty good after u get pass first 2 chapters

Such a lovely story. My playtime is not accurate since I let my console running a lot and often read before falling asleep. It was very interesting to read and I loved the character design. It get's very emotional and deep after some time (darker than I first thought :D) and Natsuka is just adorable.

The ups the downs of the story keep you hooked throughout. The characters interactions bring live to this amazing story. Every character brought a different element to the story, and the way it all came together in the end brought even more life to the story. The music and sounds and also more depth to the story. Overall this VN is worth every penny in my book!

good game
