Night Cascades

It's essentially a short kinetic visual novel (2-4 hours for most readers). It's about 50/50 between the romance and the investigation. You switch pov between Jackie and Diane from chapter to chapter. You do have some choices and some things to click on but it's not changing anything about the story. I personally think the story was charming. It takes something that could be cliche on paper and presents it in a way that keeps it interesting and original enough. I was familiar with the satanic panic of the 80s but not with the level of homophobia of the South of this era (my country was not a lot better at the time with lgbtq rights). I hope they do a second game. I also feel it would make a super interesting premise for a tv show. A kind of "Bones" but with lesbians in the South in the late 80s.

The strongest point for this visual novel for me was its setting. It is not too often I can come across Yuri that is set in the 1980s - let alone one with two working adults as the leads. This alone made it notable for me and I enjoyed the nuances the time period was able to inject into the story. The mystery elements were a nice touch, I am a fan of crime novels so it appealed to me. The investigation gameplay is quite minimal however, it just serves as a means to solidify the mystery themes in the plot. How the investigation is conducted and the choices you make in regards to that seems to have little to no impact however, which makes what is supposed to be a key element of the novel feel somewhat meaningless. Although I overall enjoyed 'Night Cascades', given its length (2-3 hours) I believe it would be best to wait for it to go on sale. Timmy's bark made me laugh every time...

Short and sweet, lovely little story, very much enjoyed ❤

Pretty good story, and amazing art absolute yuri 10/10

You love to see a yuri visual novel about grown ass adult women! I highly recommend this game if you are a fan of yuri visual novels, art and writing is great and honestly the music is awesome, really fits the mood of each scene.
