sylvan rated MAMIYA - A Shared Illusion of the World's End - Complete Collection

sylvan rated a game 2 years ago
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS.

I found this game randomly by chance and I ended up falling in love with it! It's worth the price! One of its strongest suit is its fun and colorful cast of characters. Mamiya is a very character driven story and each character are really likeable.  They all have a fun dynamic when grouped up yet also still equally as interesting when you learn about them one by one. There's not a single character that I hated (I see some people hating on Suou Keito and I understand why, but I find him really endearing)

Kenkou Land also never fails to surprise me with their plot twists. I think their previous game, Lemures Blue's 2 AM, had WAY too many plot twists (which are good), but some of them could be executed better I think. In Mamiya, Kenkou Land really handled the plot twists much, much better. Their art is also really beautiful. I keep re-opening the game at random moments just to stare at the art and try to study the details, lighting, etc.

While I think the story is good, there are some choices that can make your reading experience become more confusing than it should be. When I first started playing, I started with Suou's route first... which is the most intentionally confusing and the weakest route out of all the other three routes. I know his route is meant to be like that, but I wish it hadn't been my first route because it screwed with my expectations of the game going in. I'm going to be honest, I almost dropped the game because of it, but I'm glad I didn't because the other three routes and the rest of the game are great! If I have anything to say to people wanting to try the game out, don't start with Suou Keito's route. I think it's better to save it for the third run or the last. Speaking of the story, please heed the content warning before jumping in. The story can get really heavy at times.

TLDR really good game with amazing characters. Do NOT start with Suou Keito's route. Pay attention to the content warning. I love this game and I can't wait for the next part to come out soon.
