Nusantara: Bermuda

This game really needs more love. This game took the creator 7+ years to complete, and it shows. Full price it is worth every single cent! The music alone can inspire all sorts of emotions while you read. The length helps with its replayability, as there is SO MUCH good stuff. Not to mention you actually start dating your LI around half way in the story, so you can actually see precious moments of their relationship together. I must admit, certain... aspects did make me a little uneasy at first, however they were handled well, and by the end, you can see how much thought was put into each character..... WTH WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THIS, JUST BUY IT ALREADY!!!!

I've been following the Developer for years as she had worked on this project and... I finally got around to it. Was it worth the wait? I mean... I enjoyed it. There were certainly improvements over the previous installment: Far more things to do/read, more pretty things, mini-games and ah... The expansion of the world itself. Sadly, there was no constant presence of half-naked men this time around... And... Somehow... Only Bayu and "The Jester" guy looked good to me. Preferences on top of preferences, eh? As for the Love Interests... I only like the ones that aren't afraid to go for it. I don't get this whole "Oh, can I touch/kiss you?".......... I be like....... "We like each other... Can't you freaking read the signals?" >......> Which is why REKSA and ARYA are my favorites. Reksa is from the previous one, but he will be forever mentioned and brought up at random moments and Arya... Arya is freaking hilarious. He might have "downtime" in his story and yet... It makes up with some really good moments afterwards!! Also, I got so used to his mask... That is was super odd for me to even look at his face. HAH! Ah... I don't know what else. I was definitel…

This game is SO worth it! After devotedly playing this game for a few days, I've finished it and can I just say OH MY GOSH 😭 I love this game SO MUCH! I'll definitely be thinking about this game for a long time. I was already hardcore attached to Nusantara: Legend of the Winged Ones (play that game too if you haven't!), this one's going be buried deep in my heart too >< !!! The characters are so lovable on their own, and their dynamic together are so cute and heartwarming! A bunch of misfits that found friendship (and family) with each other as they traverse through this new world they found themselves in. Prepare your heart for a bittersweet tale! Especially prepare your heart for the hidden route! IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! 1000/10 would let them wreck my heart again

I originally bought this game on itch.io and enjoyed it so much that I purchased it again here just to support the developer and hopefully encourage more people to give it a chance. I liked all the characters to varying degrees, but The Antagonist’s route stood out the most and his dynamics with the heroine was fantastic. The route was incredibly engaging, and I’m genuinely grateful I got to experience it; it was that enjoyable to read and my shipper heart is satisfied.

If you've played the other Nusantara game, I definitely recommend you give a shot to this one as well! As a whole, though, Nusantara: Bermuda holds up even better than Nusantara: The Winged Ones; it's clear that the developer has matured more experience from one to another and the 7 years of work that were put into it definitely show. The story is intriguing, with a twist of a classical fairytale gone wrong at one point; and the three initial bachelors (Arya, Guntur and Khalil) are well designed and interesting. Their routes follow the same direction due to the Plot (tm) plotting away, but the scenes with the various characters are distinct enough. My favorite, however, is the secret Antagonist route that you unlock only after finishing the three other routes. It broke my heart and put it together piece by piece (if you know you know) and it's completely distinct from the three other routes; moreover, story-wise, it's exactly what you need to tie up any and all remaining loose ends. My one peeve is that there's grammar mistakes peppered in all the routes, though nothing extreme.

I've wanted to play this since 2017 because I really liked the first Nusantara game. I've been waiting almost 8 years for this, but now it feels like the only reason I'm still interested is because my younger self was so excited for it. I'm only on Day 1, and I'm already unsure if I should keep going. The writing feels like something from Wattpad, and the grammar sounds a bit childish. I was honestly surprised, she's a tarot card reader during the day, and then at night... a pole dancer?! I'm going to keep playing, but honestly, I just hope I can make it to the end. I recommend getting this on sale, but at full price? Honestly, I really wouldn't recommend it.
