Pawn

I was looking forward to this game, but shortly after starting it I realized, it is not for me :( It's hard to read, I just wish all of those many characters would stop their babbling. And this is a bad thing, because it is a VN. I just couldn't get into it. I don't like the "humor", but this is just my taste. What really annoyed me was the "Japanese setting", while none of this feels Japanese in the slightest. More like Euopeans fantasize and imagine about Japanese culture and life -_- So it would have been much more convincing if the developers just set up their story in a European country. It might be a lot better this way, maybe to the point of slightly enjoyable. Oh well. I'll force myself to play the game though, just in case. Oh, and one thing. This game has no skip function (just like their other game, Final Theosis, where every path except one dialoge is exactly the same... and was still better than Pawn), so this is a real no-go for me. Minizes the replay value, most people don't want to read the same stuff more than once just to get other endings.

NOTE: This game was given to me by the developer for review purposes. This did not influence my review in any way. [h1]========================================================== ---------------------------------------OVERVIEW------------------------------------- ==========================================================[/h1] Pawn is an adult visual novel from new indie developer, ODBear Studios, made using Tyrano Builder. In Pawn, you play Tokunaga Susumu, a young male substitute high school teacher returning to his unnamed Japanese home town after being away for years, travelling through Europe. Shortly after meeting the somewhat odd group of teachers running the school, you take over teaching the 12th grade class in their last week of school. But you'll soon discover that neither Susumu nor the story are quite what they seem.

Character graphics are a mixed bunch. The style is simple and almost childlike …

After my review was a little to mean I removed it. I played some more of it... I was able to complete the game after about a hour (with the best end). Now For $6.99 I do not think this is worth the money. Now i want to point out this game takes place in a high school so there for it is a game about lolis. Right? Wrong. The dev was very mad at me for saying it was a creepy. Not to forget the (High quality backgrounds). The (30 sound tracks) Where only 3 or 4 play over and over again (The bad sound quality) I had to turn the sound off when i played it again, but on the main menu there is no option menu. So you have to do it in game. Don't play this don't buy this

Having been a while since i played a visual novel i decided to Purchase this game as it came up on my wishlist for sale at £3.49 thats 30% saving it met my basic requirements lol steam achievements and steam trading cards. Having the tag with "nudity" did make me think that people may think that i'm some kind of perv but ah well let them think what they will, it also had the tags of horror, violent and gore ..... The introduction to the game could really do with some work as you start the game believing your a school teacher travelling back home who ends up investigating things however that is not the case as you will find out. There is no Nudity other than one split second scene if you blink you will miss it! There's a lot of surgestive themes and wording to make your mind wander however nothng really too direct which isn't a joke. The game feels badly translated a bit constantly mixing up the words him and her and as the scene is set in Japan you really wouldn't expect the people to be saying words like "geezer" and "mate" the tone sounds very cockney. Partially the game feels like it was made on the film SAW Another problem i found was running in full screne mode made t…

A really good game that plays like a movie, I loved its story and the interactive parts when you interrogate people. Good characters, good plot, funny dialogs and suspense really go well together. I played the game in two days and to be honest, I wish there could be a sequel (but that's not possible since [spoiler]most endings don't end well [/spoiler] even the "good ending", that last one takes you on a roller coaster of emotions with a lot of informations to process.). Un très bon jeu qui se joue comme un film interactif (avec les interrogatoires). De bons personnages dans une bonne histoire et du suspense fonctionnent bien ensemble. Terminé en 2 jours, j'aimerai une suite :) Mais bon, c'est pas possible [spoiler]vu comment le jeu se termine (bonnes et mauvaises fins). [/spoiler]

Story's awful and tone deaf. The last chapters of this game are hilariously dumb. Also, screw that main character, he's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moron.
