I absolutely loved this game, I played ts for three days straight just to get all endings and all cgs and damn I do not regret it. I did have some trouble understanding some parts of the story and miriam's dialogue (but that could be just be inexperience towards vns since i only played around 4 before this) but it was still great. The soundtrack for this game was spectacular, for a VN that is completely for free it honestly blew me away of how high quality everything is, I wouldnt mind if I had to pay an absurd amount of cash for it lol. Im very excited for the side story releasing, I will play it when it releases cuz its just that goated.
--------(this part has SPOILERS)--------
I loved akira's character, not only is she funny as hell throughout the entire game but the fact that her character is js so real! Esp with her dialogues with Lavandula, Adelle and her fight with Celia. Trying to act tough around ppl but u actually care but not in a typical tsundere way but more like a defense mechanism way (is atleast how I interpreted it) and being physically unable to say whatever is bothering u and just sucking it up, I totally get that, and for her fight with Celia saying how she knows even if things were different nothing would really change but u still cant help but wish it was. I do have a couple of questions abt the whole "eventide miriam thing" and why the "for_love" ending miriam's eyes dont have the spark anymore? (As I said, im basically a toddler when it comes to VN's and the only game that has some similarities to this game that I've played is Signalis and even I dont understand that, pls dont flame me for asking such stupid questions..) If someone could clear that up for my 2 year old brain in the comments it would be greatly appreciated...!
anyway this game was so fun to play 10/10 peak
u are not alone ^^ i had trouble understanding the story and miriams ramblings as well.
And some parts of the story didnt make much sense to me because i often lacked the information for the why and how.
Ive read a lot of vns by now and i never had that much trouble understanding the story its maybe intended or my english was to bad for this one because it got a lot of words i really had to google because i never heared or read them before.
When i manage to get the last endings and cgs i will leave a review as well. But i had a ton of fun.
Btw how many endings are there ? I got like 2insta deaths and 2 different endings.
Glad im not the only one who had trouble understanding the story and I am also a victim of having to google certain words despite speaking english my entire life lol. I really do hope the side story clears some of the story up and reveals more of Miriam's past, I feel like the game only went through Adelle's, Celia's, and Akira's.
For the endings im pretty sure there are 3 main endings and 2 main bad endings, im not sure how many death screens there are and which ones u already got so I wont say anything abt them yet. There is a walkthrough file in the game’s folder that could help u with that u just have to open ur downloads > operation eventide (folder not the game) > folder named “game” > “walkthru” then in that file it would basically show u how to get all cg’s and endings, it is a little vague when it comes to the first main bad ending so before u enter the library make sure to unlock all miriam’s dialogues first.
Note: Some cg's and one ending requires u to finish the game to unlock them
Goodluck with getting all endings and cgs!!
Thank you for playing, I'm happy to know this was one of your first VN experiences, and that you enjoyed. :) As for as why that ending is like that I hope you can accept my only answer: that it is largely up for interpretation!! But the story isn't over so maybe things can be resolved in a more satisfying way for her in the future.
well damn...Im not really that good with interpretations but my guess is that it has something to do with the choice with kneeling to Lavandula but that makes me wonder. Are u perhaps considering making either a reddit community or maybe even a discord server? I'd love to see what other theories people can come up with
