Fun game, great story line, achievements work there was a bug but all sorted now, it's free, go play it

A nice and short game. I'd probably rate it about 3/5 stars. It's a nice game with two possible branches. You get to explore the results war has on people from a few angles. It's easy to understand, has a nice soundtrack, and has a peculiar take on war. Instead of showing you the "action", it shows you the effects the war has on individuals who all come from different backgrounds, but the same conflict.

Give it a try if you want something to do for the next two hours.

The Beautiful Island is indeed as the name suggests a beautiful visual novel that delivers a deeply emotional experience. Set in the aftermath of a brutal war between the Middle Empire and the States, the game invites players to explore the lingering scars left on a once-peaceful island and its people.

What makes this game truly outstand is its storytelling. Rather than focusing on the war itself, The Beautiful Island tells a more intimate and human story. As the protagonist, you return to the island to reconnect with old friends, witnessing firsthand how the war has shaped their lives.

One of The Beautiful Island’s greatest strengths is how it handles its political themes. The war may be over, but the consequences linger in every aspect of life. The game doesn’t shy away from complex issues like the challenges of rebuilding, and the moral gray areas left in the wake of conflict. These themes add depth to the story, making it not just a personal journey but a reflection on the nature of war and its aftermath.

Overall, The Beautiful Island is an good but short experience. It’s a beautifully written and emotionally gripping visual novel.
