So I'm not sure if I can really call this a 'game' since the only interaction is advancing the dialogue and selecting a single choice where it technically doesn't matter either way... but I'll admit I ended up finding myself caught in the story till the end. Even through some screens freezing and needing to reload the page and sit through the rest of the day I'd already seen. But it only happened a couple of times, so not too bad. Other then that, art's fine, repedative but not much to complain about there. Although after three days I found myself wondering if there was some side-boob fetish with the shower scenes every day. Music was nice, especially at the end. I ended up listening to it until it was done with each ending. And I'll agree with some of the others, endings sad. And like I said before, story.. I couldn't even be bothered to multitask while waiting for screens and dialogue to load. I'll be perusing some of your other works after this though to see how everything matches up and together, and I might find myself looking forward to more content as well. Looking forward to improvements and the like as well. Keep going.
Reviews for "Beyond Darkness"
oh my god i read though the entire thing and oh my god the endings were so sad i just want to hug her cause i been there and I'm still crying its just so moving how you actually get to see from the eyes of someone else and in the end it switches perspective
Not bad at all.
I actually liked the story of this visual novel, and the music was fitting and easy on the ears.
Some of the drawings were a bit rough around the edges, but you definitely have potential, and your story telling skills a pretty good.
A few of the things that detract from the experience is/are: the inability to scroll through the dialogue faster (even after holding down the "S" key), and after finishing the game there is no replay button or any other option to go to the main menu etc., so the player is forced to reload the entire game, and, as others have already stated, there are a number of misspellings (but fortunately it doesn't really affect the story telling).
Other than that, I enjoyed this experience, and I'd definitely like to see what you come out with down the road.
Keep up the good work.
I don't really understand why this got 3 1/2 stars. There are a couple of typos and the story is a bit slow in the beginning, but overall i thought this was great. The story was interesting (a bit manga/anime cliche) and the music and sounds fit in nicely. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for more content.
By far one of the worst games I've ever played.
Thanks for the feedback? O:
