About Wildfire - Ticket to Rock
Story
Hanako, a teenager with low self-esteem who prefers to spend her days playing games with her two best friends Tarou and Fumitake. She’s kind but a little absent-minded and this tends to cause trouble for her every now and then. Overall she’s content with life, but she’s feeling boxed in and wishes that there was something more beyond the daily routines.
A mistake and a chance encounter forces her out of her comfort zone as she tries to make amends. In the end she finds herself part of a band with people she doesn’t know, with a goal to play in a large festival that occurs every year in their city: the Wildfire festival.
During the course of the game Hanako finds her old preconceptions challenged as she gets closer to the other members of the band and learns more about them. She also learns more about herself as she has to handle various crises that occur along the road.
Over time she learns how to handle problems instead of running away, to voice her own opinions, and that her thoughts are not inherently worth less than those of her peers.

[h1] Fresh experience to enjoy [/h1] Wildfire is a short to medium length coming of age story with a music theme as its main focus. It is a bit similar to some of the other well known music VNs, however only because of the story focusing on them creating a band. Apart from that this is quite its own and unique story. The coming of age focus was quite nice and not something I see all that often. Especially in this way and this genre. The writing was the big positive for me that made this a quite enjoyable VN to read through. The emotions of the characters came nicely across and the pacing of the story was also quite nice. I also really enjoyed the few songs that were made for the bands performances. They arent a lot, but this is a good example for quality over quantity. The background music was also quite nice, however on that aspect it would have been nice to get a few more different tracks as the background music gets a bit repetitive after some time. The only thing that doesnt stand out for me is the art of the VN. It doesnt matter if its the backgrounds or the charcater sprites, the art just isnt the best. The UI on that front is also not the best looking to me, however it is…11 found this helpful
Kinetic school life/rock band VN + good UI + cool music = Slice of life/coming of age themed anime VN. Kind of reminds me of the anime K-On! Follow the main girl Hanako as she discovers herself.

[h2]Wildfire - Ticket to Rock[/h2] [i]If we participate, we don't need to buy tickets![/i] [h3]Preclaimer[/h3] - This game was [b]gifted to me through Curator Connect[/b]. However, this does [b]not[/b] make this review any more biased. I still decided to accept, play and honestly review it on my own accord, and am [b]not[/b] getting anything from doing so. - Since this is an Indie game, developed by a tiny studio, fully comparing it to larger titles would be unfair. This should also affect your expectations as a customer. Hence I'll review this game for what it is in itself. [hr] [h3]Graphical & Technical Quality[/h3] Compared to whatever other "Indie" Visual Novels I vaguely glanced at throughout the times, Wildfire - Ticket to Rock is actually made very well. Especially considering this project was started from just three people "trying something out", what they created over the last 10 years is worth the effort and support it recieved. Having several characters drawn in a variety of poses to bring life to all the scenes in 1080p, accompanied by a diverse soundtrack with a couple really good tracks and running smoothly in the underlying engine is a solid foundation to enjoy.

A positive visual novel about five high school girls who come together to form an unlikely band. Like K-On but with more of a focus on the music and a more realistic high school experience. Features five vocal songs with two good singers. There is a single choice in the game and to the game's credit, both choices feel right and both choices feel wrong. An enjoyable experience overall.
The art and music are very good, and the story has a lot going on in a way that feels refreshing. A story that's more about friendship than romance, and a story where growth and change don't have to be scary. Proud to be a backer <3
