Untold Atlas: otome sim inspired by expedition adventures

Even though I always try to be nice to indie developers, this game was a disaster. The stories were super boring and no plan on how to get Nova without a walkthrough that is only available for Patreons?!! Also having to play these mini games and weeks over and over again bruh I was so close to screaming. I've quit it because I don't feel like it's worth it with the bad game mechanics AND what's even worse, the bad optimization. I have a 1000€ PC on which games like BG3 run great, but in your game the FPS constantly shoots up to 3000?? That shouldn't and can't be the case. After trying everything, I won't risk anything here anymore, it's a waste of time.

Untold Atlas is a fun otome/amare game where you and your crewmates uncover strange phenomena on a mysterious island. The core part of the game is the “common route”, involving stories with the love interests and your coworkers. These stories are mostly self-contained so you can easily take a break without interrupting the flow of the story. After fulfilling the affection requirement (and for Nova, collecting all the required clues), you unlock the character-specific routes for the love interests. This is where you’ll get the deeper romance and plot reveals 🩵 I enjoy this game a lot!! I highly recommend it for anyone who wants an otome/amare game with beautiful art, fun writing, and lots of slice-of-life moments. (the best part for me is living out my fantasy of having coworkers that actually like me lmaoo) Lastly, Lilith Wren my beloved ☺️🩵🩵

I have only played Lilith's route, the story and characters are insanely good, which is great enough to overlook the kinda weird UI and UX (Instead of just mentioning the name of the speaker, it would be better to use words with colored outlines to imply their dialogue, it is sorta distracting). Also I guess the issues with the mini-game have been fixed. 總結：反正Wren x Riya很sweet就是了.

This game is super fun coworker slice-of-life vn. Someone mentioned it had a terrible FPS so I measured it and it looks like the devs locked it at 60 FPS. I was able to get to Wren’s route following the quest hints at the bottom left of the home screen, which was a nice touch. Though I did also use the guide that’s posted on the Steam community page to make it easier on myself. Love Nochi and their games :)

This game has great worldbuilding that I'm sure nerdy lore people would appreciate! I do however suggest finding a guide in the developer's discord because it would take a lot of running around to get all the endings without it. Though, you could totally try it the old-fashioned way and try it blind!

As much as I love Lilith as a character, I can't really recommend this game. Which is a shame because I truly love supporting indie devs. Most of the characters have no art, the love interests feel hollow as you don't really get to build a relationship with them, the achievements are tedious to complete, and I found the main character to be very ditsy and annoying. There is a lot of questionable dialogue as well. I feel like you kinda get dropped into the world with little to no explanation and stay super confused until it eventually starts to unravel around hour 2-3. Lastly, I absolutely despise the mini game. It's clunky and time consuming, just frankly not fun.
