About Night Cascades

Diane Carter never expected her folklore degree to get her a job offer from the local police department, but when a rash of occult-themed fires sets the city on edge, she is called in as a special consultant on esoteric religion to help find the culprit.

There's just one problem: the woman she's assigned to work with. She's cocky, beautiful, and far too familiar.

Can Diane and Jackie overcome the obstacles of their past and find the truth?

Features:

  • The 1980s - This is the Dark New Age, a time when belief in paranormal powers was mainstream and parents feared that their children would be kidnapped by Satanic cults or seduced by the evils of role-playing games.
  • Interactive mystery - Play minigames to search crime scenes for clues or interrogate suspects for insights, accessible either through mouse or keyboard/controller.
  • Multiple Perspectives - Play as both Jackie and Diane to uncover different information about the past and present.
  • Lesbian Romance - Develop a relationship between adult women.

This was cute, but the actual game mechanics are very very minimal. Mostly just involves clicking around a scene until you hit the right spot. The story, however, is great, though quite cliche. The two main characters are likeable and have an interesting history together. I enjoyed my time with the game, but there is no replayability and if you are a fast reader like myself, you will be done in under two hours. I recommend it only on sale.

This game was given to me by my bf!!!! He supports my love for GL 🙂‍↕️ SO THANK YOU TO HIM!! Anyway, to start off, the story is very simple, and I'd say it's not [i]that[/i] long or [i]too[/i] short for a visual novel. It's not the best out there, but it's still a pretty good read! [spoiler]It has a happy ending, so THAT'S A GOOD STORY FOR ME! THEY END UP BACK TOGETHER IN THE END MUAHAHAHA!![/spoiler]The mini games are more like just clicking around and such, so it's nothing worth noting. The art is REALLY REALLY GOOD!! Though, I do have to say, Jackie is beautiful, but there's something with her face that kinda looks wrong, and I'm not sure what exactly 😭 maybe it's her eyes?? I RECOMMEND!! It's a fairly simple one 💝

Two super hot professional women whom we get to play as. The music is jazzy, for that "film noir' ambiance, but some may find it a bit repetitive. There is some interactivity in a feature used to search for conversational topics when interviewing people that's based on the "hot" or "cold" system--curvy lines that are spaced far apart are cold and once they are closer together you are near to the right topic or tone represented by an eye symbol. It's simple and serves its purpose effectively. I've not played too long and haven't come across any risqué scenes, but that's fine with me. I'm in it for the banter and chemistry between the two main characters.

I rarely try out VNs but I thought this one was really well-done. The art is sharp and detailed, and the writing is paced really well. It's wordy but works through elements of the mystery and the relationship, rather than endlessly hinting at stuff (my usual complaint about VNs). The 'minigames' for the two characters are simple, but a nice break from clicking through the story. Really hope there's a follow-up!
