Kindred Spirits Demo Up!

>>1974383
I hope you get beaten for not thinking.
>>1966320

>>1974385
Is there a rule stating that all game discussion needs to be kept to the general thread? There's a lot of meat in the demo, I thought it deserved its own thread.

>>1974385
not everything needs to go into generals miss ocd.

>>1974403
This. Generals are what is killing this fucking site. What are we, rebbit? Some forum? The only theads that should be purged are exact or almost exact duplicates.

>>1974405
Series specific generals being prolonged long past their expiration date are cancer.

But there's nothing wrong with a broad general to cover a similar variety of things that can't otherwise meaningfully sustain individual threads.

Fallout needed its own thread simply because every other post in the game thread was Fallout 4. Or SonoHana which is its own media franchise. Kindred Spirits was never going to choke the game thread like Fallout 4, at least not until the game properly launches.

okay lets all have a counsel meeting to whether this thread should be allowed and if op should be executed for not consulting the counsel first.

>>1974412
Can we discuss thirsty lesbians instead?

>>1974410
Hanabira has 18 games along with short stories, audio dramas, and other related media. Neptunia has 12 games including remakes and the spinoffs no one wants to talk about. Life is Strange is a 5 episode interactive story.

Even these threads can take months to hit autosage. A thread about a demo for a game that might not even have a big following after its actual release? Don't think a dedicated thread is necessary.

A thread about a demo for a game that was just released and no one has said what they have to say about it, rather than rehashing the same talk about the previous dozen games in a franchise that everyone has already said their piece on though.

I'm not bothering to download the demo, but I think it's asinine that you're making a stink about this not going in the general.

>>1974383
It's nothing special. I was excited when it was originally released and started to read the same day. But by the time all the characters were introduced my excitement gradually fell and I dropped it on August.

I'm fearing Flowers threads after Just release with all the "Why is Rikka such a bitch" posts. Hopefully it will be after fuyu-hen.

>>1974383
>No sex scenes
I'm not entirely sure why you needed to mention that. Common sense tells you that they wouldn't put the good stuff in a game DEMO. Because the way you phrased it might make people think managagamer is lying and it's a PG only-game, but it's not (although it's not exactly nukige explicit either).

>>1974434
I liked Rikka, actually.

>>1974424
Yeah. Anyhow, no one can stop anyone from creating threads. Only the mods can do so. Naysayers bitching about it won't change that.

>>1974460
>Common sense tells you that they wouldn't put the good stuff in a game DEMO
It's actually fairly common practice with eroge demos to put samples of H scenes in.

Isn't this shit supposed to come out on steam?

>>1974530
yes

>>1974532
So why the fuck there is no mention of it on their shitty websight? I'm not going to preorder unless I know I'll get the key.

>>1974534
Pre-orders are only on mangagamer, steam keys will show up on premiere, February 12th.
http://blog.mangagamer.org/2016/01/15/kindred-spirits-on-the-roof-now-available-for-pre-order/

>>1974465
Except Kindred Spirits isn't a typical eroge (which is why it's allowed on steam "uncensored", however, it isn't "chaste" either). If you happened to get a peek of a copy of the CGs that are floating around the internet, it's obvious why Manga-gamer would never include any in the demo.

>>1974538
>Kindred Spirits will be DRM-free and all copies purchased from MangaGamer.com will come with a complimentary Steam key when the game is released on Steam.
Well, that's nice.

>>1974538
I'll just wait, gonna buy it on steam probably.

>>1974564
why not buy it on mangagamer and get a DRM-free copy in addition to a steam copy? literally no reason not to if you want the game on steam.

>>1974568
What would you do with the DRM free copy?

>>1974564
>>1974568
I'll probably get it drm-free because I don't want the few acquaintances I have to see I play yuri vns.

>>1974568
Because Steam already has my payment info so there's less bother. I don't even know what kinda payment system Mangagamer uses actually.

I've been dying for a new translated yuri moege for years and years. I hope this sells well.

>>1974598

CC.
I don't have one myself, so -> Steam. You can pay with almost everything there. Mangagamer can't really compete, but that's because they sell 18+ stuff as well. (i.e. Paypal doesn't allow that shit as far as I know)


Anyway, looking forward to this. But I don't think I'll touch the demo. Gotta have some faith? Doubt it'll be on the level of Seisai no Resonance though.

>>1974573
You can also make another steam account to play your chinese lesbian games just like I did.

I played the demo for about twenty minutes before stopping. I just want to be able to read as much as I want and not have to wait a week and a half for more.

I'm really looking forward to the release.

>>1974623
speaking of payment methods: paypal can't be used to pay for pornographic content, so steam would have to use something else as well.

>>1974659

If it ever offers such content, yes. But it doesn't so far. That said I doubt steam would have a problem, because you can just charge your wallet and that's fine.

But that's not relevant right now. Steam doesn't offer that kind of content so you can pay with whatever you want there.

>>1974659
You can get around PayPal in various manners with adult content.
Things that have their own wallet / currency you can buy their currency via PayPal then use that for adult content. This works if they sell sfw stuff as well as nsfw, but not for pure nsfw sites.

>>1974673
but doesn't Kindred Spirits have uncensored H-scenes in the steam version as well?

btw anybody else getting a virus-alarm when extracting the demo?

>>1974683
Define "uncensored H-scenes". They're undoubtedly sex scenes, but they don't show anything more than what you can find in an M-rated movie or even games like the latest Dragon Age or Witcher.

>>1974686
As I have never played the game or read much about it, I can only speculate what they look like.

I was just remembering the huge headlines when it was announced that Kindred Spirits will be the first uncensored game on steam, so I kinda went from there.

>>1974690
I think the CGs just don't show vaginas at all, not even with a mosaic. Steam seems to be okay with boobs, and sometimes butts.

>>1974690

They got you. Steam hasn't changed. It's just that Liarsoft stuff is soft-porn. Though I wonder if stuff like their steampunk VNs could also come uncensored on steam or if it's just ok, because there's no "penetration" in this VN... or so I'd at least assume. I guess they might use toys.. ghostly toys? Well I dunno.

>>1974690
It's not your fault. Anyone reading such a headline would automatically assume "Pron!" is now available on steam. But it's nothing like that. Just imagine romance scenes, that go just lewder, without being explicit at all visually.

>>1974701
>It's just that Liarsoft stuff is soft-porn.
Their stuff is a mix.

>>1974701
>They got you. Steam hasn't changed. It's just that Liarsoft stuff is soft-porn

ah, okay, not that I mind. From what I've seen in the demo so far I'm not going to play it for the sexy bits anyway. Seems very cute.

>>1974704
>without being explicit at all visually
I wouldn't really call pic related "not explicit at all visually".

Oh right, someone who played the demo: How much is voiced?
If I recall it right, this title should be partially voiced. Kinda annoying when that happens, to be honest.

>>1974750
It's just prologue then.

>>1974726
Only CGs are voiced.

>>1974759

So not much at all. Maybe I just disable it completely then. Partial voice-acting like this can be really irritating, especially if the voice-acting is good.

So, I guess, this VN was also on a rather tight budget. Seems to be common with yuri VNs. (even Hanabira is STILL not produced in HD..)

>>1974763
It was especially annoying when you don't see CG yet but hear voice acting already.

>>1974763
Rather than yuri being light-budgeted, this is more case of typical Liarsoft budgeting. For a long time even their Steampunk series(which is pretty much closest they have to flagship) was very partially voiced too.

>>1974763
> Maybe I just disable it completely then.

You won't be able to enjoy the drama CDs nearly as much if somebody decides to translate them.

Wanted to ask, I heard that you can choose between scenes. Is it something like, for example, you are given 2 scenes on a day, and you can pick only 1 to unlock?

>>1974811
There's basically a calendar view of a school year and new scenes are unlocked in the calendar in a logical (but not always chronological) order by watching the currently available ones.

There are typically several new scenes open, but no matter which order you choose to read the scenes in, eventually you'll unlock them all.

>>1974788

This game isn't that old though. But I guess it's right around the time where they transitioned over to "full voice for everything". I mean a short time after it they re-released certain older games as full-voice editions.

>>1974825
Yeah, for some reason I thought this was older. Shame, if they had released it a year later, maybe the game would've been in HD like Gahkthun.

>>1974465
Kindred Spirits ero scenes are toward the end of their respective routes, so they don't want to "spoil the good stuff" so to speak. It's not an ero heavy game at all.

>>1974623
You can email MangaGamer support and they'll arrange for you to pay them through paypal. They give you some kind of code I believe, that way you're not directly buying porn from them, because their site has all-ages games too.

>>1974654
This is why I typically avoid demos unless I'm on the fence about a game.

The Steam page is up!
http://store.steampowered.com/app/402620/
No preorder there, though...

>>1975016

I don't think I like this BIG ORANGE BOX with "Notice:" in it. Nothing else in it so far, but if this is censored after all.. well. You know. One purchase less I guess.

>>1975016
Do they release a Steam-free (DRM-free) download? I don't like Steam.

>>1975035
Yes. On their website.

>>1975029
For the one millionth time, it won't be censored, but the game isn't that hardcore in the first place either.

>>1975029
if you're even worried about that sort of thing, why would you be looking at steam pages instead of buying direct for the vendor, that's incredibly stupid.

i mean, in this case it doesn't matter, but in general... you know perfectly well that any hardcore scenes have to be removed from Steam.

>>1975016
They need to fix the description, since it cuts off.

>Let’s Make This a Yuritopia! Yuna spends her time here on the roof of Kokonotsuboshi Girls' Academy, until one day her lunch is suddenly interrupted by a pair of ghosts. The two haunting spirits enlist Yuna to help them foster more "yuri" couples at the school, to assist girls struggling with their hidden feelings, and

And the Notice doesn't say anything.

>>1975071
High impact sexual violence.

>>1975047

The orange box is usually there for censored products, mostly locally censored ones. There are other reasons that the box can be there as well, and it can obviously still vanish (I mean it's empty), but that's why I wrote "I don't like it". That's all there is to it.

I live in Germany, and while this country is actually one of the most lenient when it comes to video-game ratings, companies still think otherwise and sometimes self-censor because of it. And I'm not supporting that. I'm not assuming it will be globally censored, that's pretty much out of the question.

>each girl seems to have a quote on the main menu
Love that detail.

>can write with blood on chalkboards but can't google how two girls have sex
Makes sense. Ghosts and electronics react poorly to each other.

>>1975175
Why don't they just experiment instead of googling?

>>1975178
Because that's not how ghosts work.

>>1975180
If I'm elected I will make ghosts predisposed towards homosexual experimentation rather than regular haunting.

Vote anon 2016!

>>1974646
B-but that's forbidden by the EULA!
At least I think it is.
Not like I care, but two accounts just so I can play one game seems a hassle, plus I prefer no drm.

>>1974701
>stuff like their steampunk VN
Man those are fucking weird.

>>1975016
>Liar-Soft
>Indie
I'm pretty sure they aren't indie per se.

>>1975340
They didn't even have full voice acting until recently. Their games are much lower budget than other notable developers.

>>1975345
Most of the great VN's that are praised the fuck out of in the genre had no voice acting until recently.

How long is this game going to be? Given it's hefty price tag and the fact that the demo is longer than some visual novels by itself, it's probably pretty big, yeah?

>>1975366
~30 hours.

>>1975366
The translator posted on her twitter that the main game is around 20 hours long, and that the game has unlockable scenes that can add around 10 hours to that. These are estimates though, but given the length of the demo, it is definitely a full-length game.

Could this be the second coming of Katahane?

Spoil me, does the protag have a love interest?

>>1975482
Yes, the childhood friend

>>1975487
this would make sense.

>>1975487
What abou the blond megane friend of MC?

>>1975551
Isn't she with short black haired midget?

>>1975287
Nah, you can even have multiple accounts on the same email, Steam doesn't care. I don't know if there's an upper limit, but you can definitely have 2 accounts.

>>1975551
Have you seen the Steam screenshots? She doesn't do IRL.

>>1975554
The MC is with the short girl, yeah.

>>1975381
Care to elaborate? Never played Katahane so I don't know what do you mean.

I was half-expecting the midget Hina to sound more like Fumi from Yuyushiki, not this high-pitched imouto-like voice with kinda garbled pronunciation

It's teased on several occasions but never goes anywhere. Fuji also has another ship that's teased a few times (and more on the drama CD).

This may be because I'm too used to Sono Hanabira but there's too much brown hair, brown eyes and brown seifuku in the cast/sprite sets. I don't even mind black and white, just some contrast. Some of the height different between the couples seems really exaggerated, like 20+ cm, just eyeballing.

I'm always game for short hair, tomboys and loli/DFC so I'm the opposite of this guy >>1975983

I don't mind her sounding like she's 9 but it's annoying when it's hard to tell what she's saying, my weeaboo-tier Japanese aside.

She's one of the other girl's younger sister. And people joke that the MC acts like her mom.

I think the game"s only partly voiced and I turn the voices down or off anyway.

>>1975950
Did it go nowhere because the MC chose Hina instead. And of glasses' love interest is in the game, the only person that isn't paired with anyone else is the girl that sleeps all the time.

Katahane is a game that follows a group of stage players that travel across the country and is pretty much about their relationships with each other. One such relationship is a /u/ couple. Mind you the game isn't full /u/ but those two have pretty much the best romance of the whole bunch and I daresay the game itself has a better /u/ romance than many of the so called fully /u/ games.

>>1976255
Your description is misleading. Katahane has two couples, one het and one yuri (separate people, not bisexuals). You will see almost no het if you don't go down the het route. The yuri couple is present in both the general portion of the game (kurohane chapter) and the yuri route. The yuri is also the main content of the entire game, both importance-wise and screentime-wise, taking precedence over the politics and the travel adventures.

It's a very well written story overall and every yuri fan should play it.

>>1976271
You're forgetting to mention that the game is essentially also two entire stories, one in the present and one in the past that you have to unlock.

>>1975985
That description does not apply to any of the other characters either, yet they are not bland.

How do you unlock 100% of the unlockable scenes?

>>1976004
I kinda like it

This is probably the only yuri game with "realistic" character designs

>>1974383
Glad to hear it! Very fucking hype.

>>1976271
>It's a very well written story
What makes a story well written? Is it even objective? I see this opinion for almost every vn here. Looks like this and 'good characters' are the only arguments people can think up for stories they enjoy.

>>1976354
Well there are some variables you can use to evaluate the story objectively, like evaluating it's prose. For me, I think it's well written because the characters have genuine characters and not just checking off the tropes. I love the way they handled the characters in the story. Their interaction is believable and not static. The dialogue doesn't feel scripted. And the pacing is great. The MC not being a cardboard cut out of a typical MC also helps. Also puns, lots of puns.

I don't really see the need to for people to justify why they enjoy something. You like what you like, and not everyone are equipped to explain why.

>>1976004
I know there is differences in their faces but when your not looking hard for those small differences you get a same-face feel going. Most likely coming from the fact that they also have incredibly similar expressions in this image.

Anyone else enjoying the demo so far? I can't wait till the full game comes out.

>>1976354
> What makes a story well written? Is it even objective?
I always try to be as objective as I can when recommending something. Of course it will never eliminate subjectivity completely (you might find a VN trash despite its immense popularity, or vice versa), but the keyword here is trying. I'm pretty sure you know there are things that you personally enjoy but don't think many others do, as well as things you personally enjoy just like most people will. My personal judgement for Katahane is that it's the latter.

To elaborate on how Katahane is well written, the characters are organic instead of archetypical like what you would find in an average VN/manga/anime. The verses are poetic, and always have a point so you never feel it's pretentious nor trying2bdeep. Kurohane chapter managed to leave a deep impression in me despite being fairly simple. I never expected a touching story of this calibre and in this direction when I decided to try out Katahane. This is one of the best show cases of how excellent pacing can do magic to a simple tale.

While I never become obsessed with any of the characters, I like them all, including those who I initially thought would be annoying.

Tl;dr: this VN feels more like a mainstream novel than your usual weaboo production.

>>1976354
Explaining what's good or bad about writing is hard. Harder than explaining whether the art is good, and you can't just show an example as giving an extract of text isn't effective (except if the writing is simply extremely poor).

>Kindred Spirits on the Roof
>Okujou no Yurirei-san

Motherfuckers. I mean it's not quite "Bakemonogatari" but that's still punbelievable.

>>1978771
Google tells me that the literal translation would be something like "Yuri Ghosts on the Roof". Not that big a change, and would it really be a big deal if it was? Titles mostly exist to be eyecatching.

>>1978789
Is Kindred Spirits a pun on something in particular as well? I wonder if "Lesbian Ghosts" or "Yuri Ghosts" would be harder to market.

>>1978794
It's a pun on kindred spirits meaning likeminded people, and spirits meaning ghosts.

>>1978789
>>1978794

The joke in Japanese is Yurei = Ghost So Yurirei is, well, lesbian soul (or literally Lily Spirit)

The English title is just "Kindred Spirit: a person whose interests or attitudes are similar to one's own" and the fact that they're ghosts.

I just found both puns pretty groan-worthy.

I only mentioned Bakemonogatari because that's another pun (one that actually works quite well in English: Bakemono = monster, Monogatari = story so the best translation for Bakemonogatari would be "Ghostory")

>>1978813
>>1978807
Though the "Yuri" part of "Yurirei" is lost with "Kindred Spirits".

I don't really mind "Bakemonogatari", or even "Ghostory".

>>1978813

It's not like girls just hide in a vacuum with their lovers all story long. They're not even going out yet at this point. I want them to make out already but I don't want the development to be too rushed. There's a dilemma.

>>1978959
She just like cute things, and cute girls in general. With the Sensei-chan it seems like it's a little more than that.

It's as common as boku. You've probably seen them in manga but didn't realized.

best girl.

>>1978813
Someone translated it as "Poltergays", but I guess that would have been problematic.

>>1978956
MC asked her to

>>1978976
Ore is usually arrogant though. It's a male example now but Vegeta from Dragonball always says Ore-sama when talking about himself.

>>1979203
Oresama is arrogant, but ore itself is actually quite common. It's used by pretty much all the Japanese men in informal situations. The pronoun has more informal connotation than arrogant, something you use with your friends but not with strangers and your bosses.

As for oreon, it is far less common than bokuon both in fiction and real life because of the informal and masculine connotation. Anyway, all of these get lost in translation for English.

>>1978976
> It's as common as boku.

Not for girls though. And for girls and women in real life, using boku or ore is extremely rare, almost exclusively as part of some sort of act.

>>1979222
>real life
Who was talking about real life? Tomboys use boku, hardcore tomboys use ore. Girls using ore aren't that uncommon.

>>1979222
>>1979224
The anon was just trying to say that oreon characters are not as common as bokuon characters, which is true. Also, oreon characters are actually quite uncommon when you're looking at Japanese subculture.

>>1979256
>oreon
>bokuon
Why are you insisting on these non-existing terms?
>looking at Japanese subculture
What does it have to do with anything?

I'm talking about common tropes. Some just used more often than others.

I can see why they wouldn't use it for the official title but speaking as one of the gays I like it. then again I like "queer" as a term too so I'm probably not representative in that regard

Finally played the demo. Goth girl and rocker girl were the best girls MC is supposed to be helping. The white uniform ghost girl is close to being a yandere.

>>1980250
Who has issues with queer, other than butthurt guys on 4chan? Even the tumblrpeople like it.

And poltergays would have been cute as fuck. Might have been too gay for some /a/nons, though.

>>1981439
They are the only ones Yuna could even do anything to help.
Kiri and Tiny Sensei are a lost cause: I don't think Yuna or the ghosts can do anything against the "it's a phase" argument.
The sports girls seem to already be pretty much set. They even have a long term plan. All they need to do is to come clean to their parents, and Yuna can't help with that.

>Megumi is close to being a yandere
I've watched Grave Encounters and Paranormal Activity too many times to know it's a bad idea to annoy a ghost.

>>1981446
Big hoohah on Huffpost atm about changing Gay Voices to Queer Voices. Though it mostly seems to be gentlemen of a certain age. Fuckers should just hurry up and die.

>>1981458
Yuna helped Maki plenty already.

I have to wonder if Aki might misunderstand why Youka is so interested in hanging out with Yuna. For a second, I thought Yuna might think the lyrics were for her.

Youka really resonates with me, man.

So I've been looking around for a OST rip and all I could find was this: http://www.mediafire.com/?5budvoghyboz3o3

Is it just me, or are all the files in that pack corrupted? Or is there another rip somewhere

I can play them correctly with mpv but there's tons of error output on console.

Can't get enough of that "na na na."

Anybody know how fast MangaGamer usually sends out DL codes once a game hits release date? I've had a shitty week and am hoping for some yuri to brighten it up.

>>1982177
You'll be able to download it from their site in three and a half hours. If you're waiting for Steam, that'll be afternoon tomorrow.

The game is now up at Mangagamer's website.

>>1982331
Thank you, aneue. I'm not >>1982177 but I've had a shitty week as well. Hopefully polterdykes will make it all okay.

Remember that the demo skipped certain scenes, so just using skip to get to where the demo left off will cause you to miss some things.

You can still get it on Steam. And if you preordered it from mangagamer's site you can still download it and redeem your steam key.

Is this game steam-only? Or do you get a standalone version if you buy from MG? Their website just says "SteamKey" as a tag, so it's confusing.

>>1982619
You get standalone game too.

>>1982619
You get both a standalone version and a Steam key if you buy it from MG directly.

Nope, I didn't play the demo. It probably had something to do with how I exited or loaded the game.

>everyone in this game is over 18
Sure, MangaGamer, sure.

I know they have to say that for legal reasons, but it's so transparently not true it's hilarious.

I'm curious whether the original text mentions ages at any point. I know I was really surprised when they actually implied Megumi's age at death as 15 in the English version, but I suppose they could get away with that because she's a ghost.

>>1982913
Commercial eroge will generally avoid mentioning ages for students, and tend to avoid terms that make it obvious what type of school they go to (such as whether it's a middle school), but it's implied anyway.

Any beautiful people put up mediafire links or anything for a free download of the full game yet?

My weeabooism flared up when I saw "Bon Appetit" earlier, but I can't help but feel like leaving "takikomi gohan onigiri" completely untranslated isn't much more weeb than leaving something like "itadakimasu" completely untranslated.

Well, at least I learned something about Japanese food. And it's definitely better than whitewashing the whole thing into "jelly donuts" or some garbage like that.

That's your first and most critical mistake.

>>1984019
What can I do? He's old and just wants to play games with me when he gets back from work.

>>1984021
This is why I am extremely glad my dad doesn't use Steam, and instead only uses GoG.
But still, you could just make an alt account and run that with Kindred Spirits, do you really want to give up on the $4 you can make off cards?

>>1984023
My dad isn't freetard enough to use only GOG, even though he's always complaining about Steam's DRM. And I'm not interested in cards, so I will not use the Steam key.

I powered through and cleared absolutely everything, including the extra scenes. My advice is to save on a new file whenever you see a choice, because to get 100% you have to make all choices in the game, and it's much easier to just see what scenes you saved at then having to go through every single main scene (even skipping) again like I did.

Also I added it to steam but am too scared to play my lesbian VNs where others can see me.

>>1984016
Your dad should be glad he raised a lesbian interested in homo girl stuff so that she doesn't get defiled by any dirty men.

>>1983800
Get out. They handled that as natural as they can.

>>1983764
You can't compare them like that because in vns scenes are written and not just few drawn panels plastered together. Basically it's harder to write good scene than draw it.

I'm going through the extra scenes you get after clearing the game now and I'm shocked by just how many there are. I heard about "extra" content after finishing the game and thought it would just be a scene or two per couple, but there's almost 80 of them in total taking place all throughout the year.

This game has about twice the amount of content I was hoping for.

I mean, once you hear her backstory it makes sense, but damn it was cold when I read that the first time. I mean, it's one thing to say "I'm sorry, no, I'm a teacher" and quite another to dismiss someone's feelings as a phase.

Oh sweet, this game finally got released. While I'm just a poor collegefag from a slav shithole, I'm pretty sure I can buy it to support the creators, right?
>30 euro
The fuck.
Do the creators even realize not everyone lives in USA?

My job pays ~300 euro a month, and it's actually fairly decent payment for people my age. Yet they expect me to pay 10% of my wage for a 20h game about girls kissing each other? Yeah, good luck with that. You just cut off the entire middle europe as your potential client, and that's not including the less wealthy USA / west europe anons. Enjoy abysmal sales, I guess.

This is not an indirect way to ask you guys for a steam gift, I won't accept it anyway - I'm just a little bit mad about the price for a game this long.

Ooh, didn't know about this! I thought it was a shame they didn't actually have a song with that CG set in-game, but this is just as good.

Bought it yesterday, been playing it when I could. Love it so far but honestly there's only a few of the couples I'm even interested in.

Like the broadcast group or Hina, they're the ones I'm more interested in learning about and I can't help but wonder if Sachi is falling for Yuna or something.

Why are so many surprised about the price?
The Japanese retail version was more than double that and the JP DL version is about $50 too.

>>1985039
Yuri VNs literally never get released in English, so it's a first time for many yuri fans who would never be interested in a het VN.

>>1985042
Pretty much. The only other Yuri VN I've ever been able to actually buy was Remembering How We Met.

Not that it's a huge deal or anything, it was just about $10 more than I expected. Gladly bought it, no regrets.

>>1985031
Now follow along with the song and recall what Aki said in her narration at the concert.

>>1985039
Because they'er spoiled by a AAA gaming culture that sells games at $60 despite enormous budget costs and have never seen a market that gives way more respect to artists and voice talent than theirs.

>>1985046
>Because they'er spoiled by a AAA gaming culture that sells games at $60 despite enormous budget costs
As if those studios don't make huge profits.

>>1985054
Yeah, I really don't think that's why. I think it's more just being used to buying stuff during Steam Sales, and most non-AAA titles being released in the $10-20 range here.

Either way, it is worth the $30. I'm kinda sad it wasn't fully-voiced, would have paid even more for that.

Somehow, I hope they decide to make more Yuri VNs even if it's not this series. Because it was definitely enjoyable. Or, if they eventually re-release this game with full VA like some other people mentioned earlier.

>>1985046
Mm, I played that part today so that was pretty fresh. Aki is amazing, too. She ended up being one of my favorite characters, even though I don't dislike any of them. She was just so receptive from the beginning, though that might be because she knew she was into girls already.

I like this VN a lot, but it came out just under 4 years ago. If there wasn't a full-voice pack/re-release after all this time, this English release has a massive success for one to come up.

I'm pretty sure those will last you longer than 20 hours.

>>1985182
Well, 6 drama CDs x 90 minutes, tops (http://www.getchu.com/php/nsearch.phtml?genre=all&search_keyword=%B2%B0%BE%E5%A4%CE%C9%B4%B9%E7%CE%EE%A4%B5%A4%F3&check_key_dtl=1&submit=), plus the manga which is 2 x 145 pages (raws here >>1975971), so if you exclude the game the extra stuff might not actually take 20 hours.

Whatever, though. Enjoy the rip.

What track do you locked for the calendar?
Paused in Midsummer looks like the most fitting one

>>1984869
I just finished Confession Concert 2, and at this point I can confidently say that to me this game worth much more than 30 euro. I would gladly use all of my monthly food allowance to buy it if I have to.

It's just that good.

My only complaint so far with this VN is that apparently, every couple has to go through the entire bloody "b-b-but but but we're BOTH GIRLS that's WEIRD, RIGHT???" song and dance routine.

Never noticed it
The just acknowledge the fact that they both girl and yes thats weird, but who cares we love each other!
No usual angst about it at all

>>1985121
I find that the more formal/upstuck the girl was, the better their sex.

>>1985270
They get over it pretty fast though.

My issue is that sorta annoying how the extra stories just go wherever the hell they want. It's hard to keep track of.

>>1985274
But it's not weird.

>>1985121
>Canadaland
Same here. I still feel like it was worth the price I paid, but it would've been nice to have saved that money. I guess we know for next time.

>>1985270
I don't really agree here. How each character handles it varies. Aki already knew she was gay, Youka didn't think anything weird about it until Yuna pointed that out (and then agonized over it for all of about five seconds), Sasa and Umi aren't so much concerned over being gay as they are over what it'll do to their friendship with each other and Nena, Tsukuyo is working through being hurt in the past, Hina's like "oh so that's what it was" and immediately gets past it, Matsuri and Miyu are already a couple when the story starts, etc.

The only characters who really freak out over being gay are Seina, Yuna, and Kiri.

>want to play it
>no dosh
Life is fucking suffering, i hope you are enjoying that shit

>>1985180
I went to sleep, sorry. It's no longer Valentine's Day, but you added me while it was, so in exchange, either a vocaroo recording of your best duck impression or an MSPaint drawing of yuri catgirls.

>>1985270
Agreed. I know Japan is big on heteronormativity and all that, and the game tries to be fairly realistic barring the poltergays, but I was rolling my eyes really hard by the fourth or fifth "but isn't this weird??" Really not fond of that particular yuri cliche.

The track girls were a real breath of fresh air when they showed up for actually seeing their relationship as normal. Was nice seeing Matsuri just not give a fuck and flirt with everyone.

>>1985347
I know how it feels anon, we need to stay strong until someone uploads it on sukebei or some other site.

>>1985422
At least i got Katahane but it's getting boring.

>just realized A. A. is Aki's initials, hence Youka's song being called "A. A. 愛”

God, I'm slow. I thought it was just Youka stuttering like an idiot or something.

>>1985431
Fuck, this is like when you finally see the Fed-ex arrow.

>>1985397
Honestly, I actually like that cliche *because* it feels realistic, at least in Japanese works. Angst is tiring, tho, and I'm glad we didn't really get much of it.

You should read MG's announcement. When their payment processor is back online, they won't be offering Steam keys with purchases from their site anymore.

Some people need to swear allegiance to Emperor Pootin'.

I read it, but I won't be that choked if I don't get a Steam key if I buy if off their site. I just hope the Steam versions of future yuri releases are DRM-free too.

I never asked for these feels.

New thread?

>>1985495
Are the extra scenes mostly good? My favorite couples were Sasa/Umi and Aki/Youka.

>>1985630
Yes they are
Most of them not about pairings but just characters interacting between each other

>>1985652
Basically the characters interacting with characters they didn't talk to much in the main story then?
The broadcasting trio along with Aki and Youka were my favorite characters in the game regardless of pairings.
I finished the main story, but the apples are only showing up for the first few months, so do the other unlock after I complete the first few months worth? I'm pretty sure I went back and picked every option for every choice, so they should all show up.

>>1985656
Yes, you read event for the character in one month and next one(usually in the next month) will be unlocked
Read them all and get nice and heartwarming final event so it's worth it

>>1985658
Thanks.

>>1985658
Thanks for the info about the heartwarming scene. I'm watching them anyways, love the interactions you don't really see in the main story and cherry stories.

>>1984807
Certainly the OST is better than Sono Hanabira's, but most of the time it wasn't good enough for me not to play something stuck in my head from somewhere else, over the track.

so I've not downloaded the CG set and am just kind of trudging through the story still, but do the couples all get 1..I guess nude CG? or do some get more?

>>1985858
yes
1 sex scene with 2 CG

>>1985270
this.

Do any of the choices matter?
Do you get a bad nice boat ending if you pick a wrong option?
If so, is there a walkthrough anywhere?

>>1985939
Choices unlock extra scenes. Just pick each option every time there's a choice and you'll unlock them all.

You mean the one on their trello?

I don't think it is. The cover is different.

>>1986017
Yeah, the cover is from vol 2 of Sayuri-san. But maybe they want to trick /u/s?

>>1985873
Aki and Youka are really an exception to that. I'm glad their relationship didn't have all the drama the other couples had. Aki saying she might've fallen for Yuna if she would've met her before Youka was really surprising, but it just shows how comfortable she was.

>>1985939

You get more CGs and the real ending by playing through all the unlockable scenes.

False or True?

>>1986097
False. Stop posting worst girl.

>>1986097
False

I didn't know about the true ending until I refreshed here. Does anyone know which scenes have the choices by chance? No big deal if not, I'll just skip through everything.

>>1986097
Well if we strictly limit the definition of yuri to follow Ano's explanation there, I suppose it could be not untrue. At least if that's how she define yuri, she's definitely coming up with the right conclusion. Nevertheless her view is still fatally flawed and really can't be applied for real.

What did she mean by this?

>>1986119
Sounds like Youka would probably get carried away and do something stupid.

>>1985948
Dang, please get translated.

Finally fully cleared
Good ending, loved it

>>1986097
False. There seems to be a view among some Japanese otaku where yuri (and yaoi, too) is strictly fantasy and has no relation to actual gay stuff. The problem with this is that such relationships are depicted positively in a lot of yuri media nowadays, rather than the bad ends of yesteryear.

It's argued that such depictions have no bearing on real life and real lesbianism is weird. But that makes no sense. If a creator puts something in a positive light, then the norm is that we're supposed to think the real analog of that thing is good, too. It doesn't take a genius to recognize Narnia's Aslan is Christ and C.S. Lewis wants us to embrace Christian values in real life.

Insisting that the reader does NOT embrace the values put forth by a work IRL is what's unusual. I can't imagine that every single author of every single yuri work is thinking "this has nothing to do with lesbians"!

I spent way too much time thinking up this argument.

>>1986119
Youka's impulsive, and Aki is jealous and would probably go yandere if Youka ever cheated on her.

I haven't finished playing through the extra scenes yet, so I really want to see the rest of this conversation. It felt like alot of Aki's character development came from the extra scenes I've read so far. Her and Nena were two unexpectedly good characters.

>>1986168
Right? At first I was a bit meh on most of the characters, but as the game progressed, I found myself liking Nena and Aki, two who I wrote off write away as not very interesting.

I'm also enjoying the sports couple more than I thought I would. It's pretty great to get both perspectives, although I wish I didn't have to do them to progress the main plot.

I thought of myself as a yuri maniac, but even I'm not autistic enough to consider buying this VN.
>20h long
>average writing (demo gave me a pretty good example of this)
>80 CGs (half of that amount if we exclude the CGS that only differ in some minor detail, like hand placement)
>25% of lines are dubbed, at best
Somehow this is worth 30 euro for you.

A'ight.

>>1986294
If you don't like the characters then it's probably not for you.

>>1986294
Quality aside, translated alternatives do not abound.
