Did 1.5 hrs of Home Thread for メモリーズオフ - Visual Novel Reading Club earlier, and so far I’m really unimpressed. Hoping it’s just an “it starts off really slow” thing or something
So I decided to play a bit of 月姫 -A piece of blue glass moon- (2021 remake), and wow I’m impressed. The beginning of the game was pretty identical to the OG, but starting with Shiki’s commute to school, they’ve changed things up so that he meets Ciel on the train, and it feels very organic (in the OG you meet her during lunch - and there’s a kind of “something is weird/mysterious about this, but can’t place my finger on it” vibe, and she feels a bit more lax & goofier). The modern version of the scene was a bit fanservice-y, but it makes sense for the character/story, and the whole scene was well-written, so I’ll forgive it. That aside - the voice acting adds so much, and the backgrounds and models are really beautiful. I can still get the gyst of stuff, even being lazy about lookups - so I’m excited to play more!
