On Earth As It Is In Heaven - A Kinetic Novel

Very short, quite sweet, but there was no real choices or interactivity in the game. There was only a couple of CC arts and those were also not very special. No fast/skip mode whatsoever and the story started to drag on at certain points. I recommend this if you get it for a few euros or so, but its definitely not worth the amount it is sold for currently.

TL;DR: It has some problems, but if you can look past them, you like VNs, and the story sounds intriguing, give it a shot. [b]Pros[/b] [list] [*]Good story and good writing, sometimes rather colorful. Funny at times, heartbreaking at others. Some plot points you can see coming a mile away with the brightness of an atom bomb, but it's still very enjoyable. I don't regret the read at all. [*]The artwork is rather pretty. [*]The music is nice too. [/list] [b]Cons[/b] [list] [*]Typos, missing words, and grammar and punctuation issues. It's not every sentence and it's not [i]too[/i] bad, but it [i]is[/i] noticeable. [*]Problems with characters on screen. This might be the [i]most annoying[/i] problem with the game. People will come in and be added to the story scene, but not show up on screen for a long time into their scene, if they show up on screen at all. Other times, people leave the scene but are still on-screen until a scene change, which can be a while later. Occasionally you'll have the situation where characters keep stacking on top of each other like a messy pancake; not all of them should be there at once.

It's a visual novel. No choices. Just telling a story. There could be a lot of improvements and additions to it. But it's fine as it is.

Let's start by addressing the elephant in the room. This game is definitely not worth the 16€ , has a few typos, and a few bugs here and there. But behind that is a bittersweet story of Life, Death, Love and Compassion who will keep you interested for 3 hours, while giving you insight of two historical moment of humankind. Besides, I admit it made me tear up a bit. This kinetic novel is regularly bundled, so if you have the luck to find it for sale give it a try!

This is a sweet story of a VN game that can be finished in under an hour. I really don't have a lot to say about this short All-Ages Visual Novel game.

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this VN based on the reviews. Maybe it's because I went in with such low expectations that I enjoyed it. Or maybe it's just that I have low standards. (Probably both). On Earth As It Is In Heaven is a Kinetic Novel, meaning no choices are made. It's basically a picture book where the characters can blink at you. It tells the story of a heavenly scribe, life, death, and everything in between. Let me forewarn that the grammar is... sub-par. Nothing horrible, exactly, but also not something that looks like it was read over. However, I enjoyed the story itself, and that made up to it for me. While I think that the price tag of $15 is very steep for this game, it's something that would be worth picking up if you happen across it cheap or free.
