Snowdome

[b]Note:[/b] I received a Steam key to help with alpha testing although I had no involvement with the development. [i]Snowdome[/i] is a kinetic visual novel developed by Lunatic Works and published by Lunatic Works and Kikai Digital. You take on the role of Tan Yan, a young adult who works as a convenience store clerk in the city. He lives his life day-to-day, feeling unappreciated and that life will never change. He moved away from the country, as he didn't want to become a farmer like his parents before him. One day, when Tan Yan decides to take a walk on the beach (because his TV is broken, so he can't watch his favorite show), he encounters a teenage girl. She makes him an intriguing offer. [i]Help me save the world.[/i] This piques Tan Yan's interest and thus, his adventure begins. As this is a kinetic novel, I'll stop my story synopsis here to avoid spoilers. ^^ As for the gameplay, there isn't really much in [i]Snowdome[/i]. Since it is a kinetic novel, there are no choices, so you just play through the story from beginning to end. There are a total of 14 chapters and an epilogue. Of course, as this is a visual novel, there are plenty of CGs although no Steam a…

This was my first kinetic novel, no choices to make, just read and think about some of the subjects that are thrown up in the story. The reader can make their own mind about how deep or how seriously they want to take this. I found it easy to get involved with the characters, to understand the frustrations of trying to earn a living in a city where everyone lives the same boring life-style and where young people and their parents do not understand one another. The protagonist, a reluctant hero, goes for a walk and meets a young girl one summer's night when his tv breaks down, and thats when it all starts as he has to grow up and make life decisions that have consequences not just for himself, but other people. I can't say more without giving away the plot. I enjoyed it. I liked the art style and while the music got a bit monotonous, its not intrusive and suits the story. It can be as deep and philosophical as you want, or the complete opposite if you just want an interesting tale to entertain you, and there are enough twists to the plot to do that. For less than the cost of a movie ticket you will get at least a double feature out of this novel, even better if its in a sale! So…

I have only reached Chapter 6 at the time of writing this review, when I started this Visual Novel I didn't expect much but it turned out better than what I expected. It's a Kinetic novel so no choices or multiple endings, the story is not complex but simple and interesting one, players would want to know what happens next, it has a nice music and better English version than most Chinese VNs or FMVs I have played. I am not a true fan of Visual Novels I just play them if I found it interesting this one turned interesting, when I started the VN it was slow paced for me but as the story progressed it was interesting, I liked the presentation of the story, background music is good as well. It's a simple review don't want to spoil the story it's just to mention that the VN is good and English version is better than most Chinese VNs etc, it's nice they added an English. I will update as I finish the VN.

unity做的VN，表现力很不错，玩法也别出心裁

挺好的故事，UI很棒，美术可能缺点经费...

这是我玩过演出最好的VN.
