Tyrania - A Kinetic Visual Novel

not a bad story line would recommend the game to anyone

TLDR: It’s not great, but still worth it imo. I like the protagonist—or rather his “archetype.” Being this Lelouch Lamperouge × Light Yagami type makes it interesting to follow his story (even if it’s a bit messy and rushed). The music part, though, is pretty awful… Basically, for most of the game it’s just silence. You can use the “music stop” technique to punctuate tense moments, but having about half of the VN without music just makes it feel unfinished. My guess as to why the music was used “sparingly” is to avoid becoming repetitive, but if you cannot compose enough original songs, there are millions of beautiful (and free/public-domain) tracks to choose from that you could either play yourself or find a royalty-free performance of to use in your visual novel. Overall it’s fine, but it feels unfinished. Hopefully the developer(s) take the feedback into account in their next project. Edit: P.S. The Steam page says that it’s voiced, but it’s actually not. Idk why, but don’t expect any voice acting.

10/10 Would Seek Justice again.

There are things that can be improved, but the game is like totally free, so it's alright.

holy bored omg. I couldn't even get through it because I was dozing off. I'm also not a fan of VNs with one ending because at that point, it's not even a game; just a video that I have to click (and I don't even have to click technically because I can just turn on auto). I find that good games need to provide the player with some agency and show that their are consequences to the actions that they choose (unless, of course, the point of the game is that the player has no control, of which is different). I also just don't like the art, and I'm very picky about that, whether that be a manhwa that I'm reading or a game that I'm playing.
