Princess of Worlds End

Really enjoying the story so far! Play this if you enjoy visual novels that mix a bit of intense action with romantic elements.

This “recommendation” comes with caveats. The game is buggy, all over the place, and not what I expected. I thought it was weird. Even so, I found myself charmed by the narrative of a young, damaged, drug-addicted woman trying to get her life back together and building a supportive friend group of oddballs with her. Therefore, despite its shortcomings, I found myself liking it more as I kept going. But your expectations should be adjusted: it’s not a traditional otome game or dating sim. It has romance, but it’s not ABOUT romance. It was playable on the Steam Deck but I had to navigate crashes and I opted to tap my screen instead of using the controls because it was more responsive that way. I detailed the errors in the discussion board and wrote a guide if you want more information before committing to it. Wacol Studios has released patches for issues regarding playing on the Steam Deck. Based on my testing, the crashes have been fixed. Thank you to Scott for helping me!

games story is pretty good, designs are little plain on some characters but some are pretty good.

What if trying to fix your life meant losing your chance to save the world? Princess of World’s End is a dark fantasy visual novel that combines life-sim management and romance with a story about addiction and saving the world. After the initial story is established, the game settles into a loop of working, spending time with others and managing her cravings until the end of the month My favourite aspect of the game is the voice acting, with the entire game being 100% voiced. I particularly want to highlight the coffee shop customers, as I found their voices amusingly similar to one another despite playing completely different characters. From a sleazy frat boy to a high-strung yoga woman to an older female secretary having an affair with her boss, I could still hear similarities between their voices, which made the variety of characters even more entertaining. Princess of World’s End is an underrated gem. The premise drew me in, but the voice acting, presentation and characters kept me invested. The game has a strong creative vision, and while there were areas I would have loved to see explored further, the care put into it really shines through. For Wacol Studio’s first game,…

Princess of World’s End is not the kind of VN I usually play, but the experience that took me around 15 hours to complete left me feeling satisfied and content, knowing that I love the characters, the vibes, the hilarious dialogs, the soundtracks (banger intro MV omigoooosh), and the way it handles important topics like drug abuse and sexuality with respect. For a game of this price (IDR 90,999 for me, regional-dependent), it has voice-acting, entertaining mini game through the Coffee (yes, that's the place's name) coffee shop, a simple stats management, a number of animated scenes, and a colorful cast of characters worth interacting with, among others. There are notable issues I have with this game, mostly technical but also gameplay issues, and I'll get to that down below, but the quick summary is that it's still worth paying its full retail price. Even for someone living in a country with much weaker currency like mine, the price is stll accessible and affordable enough to me. It's even more important if it means supporting the indie dev. First off, I love the vibes! The story is set in 2004 and the game really enhances it via the soundtracks (very good soundtracks, albeit no…
