NO BUT REAL, I JUST LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.
And now that it's finally complete I can fully disperse my love about this game and its characters. The final part that just got released will not disappoint if you've been following along with the releases so far, and if you haven't played any of it yet.... WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???? Lol I kid (not) but YOU SHOULD PLAY IT ESPECIALLY NOW THAT IT'S COMPLETE.
This game is so polished, so immersive, and so delightful to play. The story is just wonderful! I love the how we're introduced to this mysterious intriguing set of conflicts straight from the very beginning, only being given small tastes of what's going on, to then have more and more slowly be revealed over the course of the game to culminate in this giant clash at the end, bringing both of Q's worlds (literally) in direct conflict. It's got magic!! Secret societies!! BUT ALSO THIS MYSTERIOUS GOVERNMENT PLOT??? You will be on the edge of your seat wondering how it's all going to come together right until the very end. Especially with the whole secret hidden identity thing going on that I won't spoil in case you haven't played any of it yet but GODDDD. Like as soon as you know about that, everything just gets like 50 millions times more convoluted and you're just waiting for it all to come crashing down AND THEN IT DOESSSSS AND I KNEW IT WOULD AND I WAS SO ANXIOUS AND SOBBED A LITTLE BIT but it was so so good /loves pain
AND HAVE I TALKED ABOUT??? THE ROMANCE???? BECAUSE I'TS SO GOOD???? I will die for Q and Milo. BUT THEN YOU THROW THE THIRD WRENCH IN THERE WITH T (wait is that the right analogy...) and you get to explore so much of Q's vulnerability so that by the end of the game you're just hoping to god he can be happy (EXCEPT JOKE'S ON YOU IF YOU GET ANY OF THE BAD ENDINGS BECAUSE THEY WILL STAB YOU STRAIGHT IN THE HEART). Seriously though, I am in love with how Q and Milo's relationship is portrayed and they are just so sweet and I love how it gradually builds over the course of the game and every time something cute happens between them I just wanted to DIE. Which then makes some of the final endings THAT MUCH MORE satisfying and made my heart so happy I seriously love them. (AND OFC THE SECRET ENDING TOO WHICH IS HAPPY IN A DIFFERENT WAY BUT I WON'T SAY ANYTHING MORE TO SPOIL ITTTTTTTTT)
Um what else what else. THE ART OF COURSE. THERE'S SO MUCH ART IN THIS BABY IT'S BASICALLY CHOCK-FULL OF GORGEOUS ART. From the delightful sprites to all the gorgeous CGs! Especially towards the end when they're just coming at you BAM BAM BAM so fast you have to hold your breath! I feel like all of my favorites are the soft dark ones, like the ones in Q's bed or the ones where Q is sad (OR THE VERY CUTE ONES WITH Q AND MILO) they're just so beautiful and expressive and make the characters come to life so much. EXCEPT THEY'RE ALREADY SO ALIVE BECAUSE OF ALL THE WONDERFUL EXPRESSIONS AND ANIMATION OF THE SPRITES????
Then of course. THE MUSIC. THE MUSIC IS AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT. It's all original and all adds so much energy and intensity to every single scene. AND THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. AND THE MINI GAMES??? There's so many unique little aspects in here, like the magic mini games, the parts where you have to walk through buildings with maps. They all add so much and really pull you into the world (and sometimes make you so scared for the chars at the same time laksdjfa).
SOME OF THE CHOICES ARE SO INTENSE like... literally some of the choices you make will send the game down completely different paths that will have your heart breaking ESPECIALLY ONE CERTAIN ONE THAT MADE ME WANT TO LIE DOWN ON MY COUCH AND SOB. I highly recommend after you play through to the end in one version you go back and try a variety of other options, because there's so much other content buried in here and more story to unlock and more character lore and tidbits. From a completely different way path you can take (WILL YOU CONFESS OR NOT??? YOU BETTER CHOOSE RIGHT) to also things like being able to choose a different area of magic to focus on, which will introduce you to new characters, etc. There's just so much!!!
GUH. I COULD TALK ABOUT THIS FOREVER.
But truly. The final part of this game is just like, the final icing on top of this masterpiece. And it brings everything together so well while also introducing all these fun new little paths. I couldn't stop thinking about it for weeks after I played through everything lakdjfasd
SO PLEASE JUST PLAY THIS. IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL GAME. And you can tell so much heart and soul and love and passion was put into it. Its characters are just so wonderful and so complex and make you feel like you want to just dive in and be a part of this world and be their friends. ALSO JUST WANNA DIVE IN SO I CAN DO MAGIC?? HELLO???? Sign me up for a secret society of magic!! (And then I can say hello to Penny lakdjfaksd)
WEEP I'M RAMBLING NOW
But seriously. Just an absolutely fantastic VN and one of my all-time favs!! I'm ecstatic that it's finished now and I was able to see how all these chars that I've come to know and love were able to finish their stories!! 🥰
