Sorry! I surrounded beauty!

Story fits so well

dealbreakers on top: [b]single-player games requiring constant internet connection shouldn't exist[/b]. 14gb of videos stored locally, no streaming, so why the need to phone home or keep random crap on a server that will inevitably get shut down and make the game partially or completely unplayable? and the other one: [b]the 'click the flyer' qte in chapter 2 is broken, it's impossible to progress, only responds to alt+f4[/b]. don't even have to wait for the server to go down, [b]it's completely unplayable already[/b]. the save isn't trivial to edit, videos are mp4 but can't be easily viewed outside the game. tried it on another pc and it didn't work there either, had to move on but wrote more while playing, might as well post it all. [b]english menus and subs[/b] got patched in but the game defaults to chinese. click the button on the always unnecessary splash screen, then the flag in the corner to change it. other settings are windowed mode, separate volumes (main, sfx, music) and a toggle for the protagonist's voice, don't see that often. he doesn't narrate everything anyway, talking to himself constantly like a lunatic, some internal thoughts are simply subtitles in brackets, …

If you understand Chinese, this game might be fine for you. However, for me, it's not much fun. The subtitles often go by so quickly that I can't read them completely, and the translation is extremely wonky. Very difficult for me to follow, and often nonsensical. Also, it's all video of real people and places, which I'm not much of a fan of.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 Sorry! I Surrounded Beauty! The story is really well made and a lot of fun. I have to say that this game has some really good endings. A few endings could have been removed or made a little better, though. There are also some annoying scene repetitions if you want to reach 100% completion. After seeing the same scenes several times, it can get a little annoying. But if you don't care about 100% completion, this is not a big problem. The game has a nice mix of dating, mini-games, and key items. The mini-games can be skipped if you can't complete them, which makes the game very beginner-friendly. The key items are mainly important for achievement hunters. The chapter system is easy to understand, and I didn't find any bugs in the mini-games. The English translation is also good and easy to understand. The sound quality is nice, and I really liked the small extra sound effects. The background music also fits the game well. It is not annoying and does not cover the dialogue, which I really appreciate. The video quality is also good. Some scenes were a little too dark for my taste, and I felt that a few special effects were not really needed. But this is mo…

Crap ending

This is another FMV dating sim from east asia, in this case China. There are plenty of these, and they all follow the same format: You spend time with five different girls, and your choices can lead to a loss or gain of affection points. Have the right amount of points with a girl and you can enter their final route. If you don't have enough, you can't access it. Where this game differs is that it's surprisingly generous in the cutoff required to enter a route with a girl in the final chapter. You don't need a high amount of points to unlock their routes, which means the game doesn't require you to replay the game several times to see every scene. I was able to unlock 4 out of 5 girls' routes in the last chapter in my first play through. Had I balanced out my time spent with each girl more evenly, I could have unlocked all 5 routes. This game saves you a lot of replay time compared to other games in the genre (of course you can skip scenes you've already seen and you can also use the flowchart to jump from scene to scene). Spending time with one girl will result in not spending time with another, which affects the second girl's affection points. In other games the cutoff is high, …
