This visual novel is so stellar! I played it back in August and was blown away, eagerly anticipating the next update. The new update was as amazing as what I've played before!
My favorite part of this visual novel is the detail and care put into it. For example, how there are certain parts of dialogue with different fonts, which change how you read and interpret it. There is even a part where the text goes outside of the textbox, showing the drunken feelings of the characters in that scene. There are also changes to the previously released updates, encouraging readers to re-experience past scenes. I love this, as it more fully realizes the setting, but it also is fun for those who want to re-read a bit to take them back into the story before continuing with a new update.
The presentation is also out of this world. I love the interface so much, just to see something different than what I've seen from so many other visual novels. I also love how the CGs have motion to them, which adds more immersion to the scenes. The style is also very unique, with me personally loving the character portraits. They clue the reader into the character by seeing the pose and background details, while having a very recognizable style to it.
Lastly, the characters are a treat to see. The dialogue seems so natural, and I love hinting at characters and situations that will hopefully be explored later. I love everybody from the main cast, and am excited to explore their past relationships with each other.
I love Dawntide so far, and I am excited to see further updates!
