After all those chapters, this one managed to not only make Tanako likeable, but also not punish her for that for sake of tragedy. Sparkling magical world full of maids after hundreds years of murder, just what doctor Irie would prescribe.

It won't give you hundreds of hours, but not every game is huge timewaster (it does have arcade mode and to get all achievements you'll have to replay same levels for collectables/score, but that's about it), good things don't last forever and this one will leave you wishing for more.

Game advertised as having 30 different endings, but they forget to tell you that every bad ending is an ending but written as afterthought for numbers/simply having it. If you'll take any good ending and put something being wrong done after MC wrong dialog choice that has nothing really to do with what is being done later (simply because she herself doesn't do anything) and then being cut into "the bad end, boys, go try again".
And while I don't mind game itself not focusing on romance itself at all (there's second game from series for this) but this one is not just simply boring, it insults your intellect with making you play as Yukimura since she cannot figure simple and obvious things herself, so she makes everyone chew an explanation for her, making you as player cringe in convulsions on your chair, hoping that you'll drop on the floor - it'll be more fun than all this on your screen.
Another thing is that game that made with such nice graphics and japanese voiced character's lines (pretty much everyone else other than main character/narration), that you expect them to work on the text as well, but no. You might complete route of one character and while doing so meet someone else, who has this or that text, then you do other route and now you meet this other character earlier than in previous route, and even with him given more information, he still rolls his old text from previous route that now sounds weird and off-place as if they forgot to cut a bit from it.
Characters themselves in this game are so cliche that reading this makes you feel "saw this before, read this before". Or maybe they aren't, but from what I've seen during the novel they are, but keep in mind that most of characters seem to avoid main character as plague that she is.

LoseYourMarbles Simulator featuring:
★ horrendous driving camera
★ going out of your screen mouse (in fullscreen mode) to destroy anything you might have on second desktop (there was something in discussion with developer saying this issue will be fixed in complete game; it isn't fixed in Prologue however, which made my gameplay into "you can turn only left" and it was really really annoying)
★ one of worse fonts that you can pick up for story lines between tasks
★ cleaning in silence (there's no turn on radio in the room with bones and it's hard to imagine anyone working on those with no music)
★ magically flying in air rocks (when you get fossil out of them) and bones (when you assemble them into exhibit) and pieces of wooden models (you can start making model from head which will be literally in air)
★ having to watch animation of putting piece of model/exhibit in place, if you don't watch it will stop and cancel itself and you will have to click it again; there's your speed limit, Sonic
★ weird noise of cleaning spray thing when you spray it on smaller bones, it's getting cut like your character trying to save up on spray since bone is small
★ at one point while chainsawing piece of wood in middle of the road it decided to fight back and sent me flying into the water, never saw a dead tree to perform such trick
★ to top it off you also will have to play it twice if you want 100% achievements (when you get to cleaning bones you have choice to or clean them all up yourself or send all of them to prep room where someone else will do it for you and for both of the choices you get an achievement)
In the end I was both angry, sleepy and had to fix my actual desktop back to how it was.

Weirdest romance simulator game out here. You have choice to play for main character of the game (and you also can choose between main characters, each has their own unique route) or to play for his love option (if you're picking this one you cannot pick who's route you're gonna play, you're just side character anyway).
As main character, your goal is to pick one of the romance options on start of the route and chase after her or him, hoping that once you'll catch up, they'll be ready too hook up with you. You also might spend all the weeks of the route trying to get to one and only chosen one, but never achieve the ending (sometimes they tend to be way too hard to get).
Let's talk a bit about some of the characters.
♥ Trapper: loneliest main character around here. He was not getting any dates that much, that after weeks of not getting romantic dinner by candlelight he lost a lot of weight.
♥ Twins: you get to romance beautiful Charlotte (who's also great at cooking!). Minuses of the relationship with her? At one point she will ask you to watch after Victor, but you'll never will be able to catch him and she might be very sad to hear afterwards that you've lost such an adorable child somewhere in the forest.
♥ Ghostface: it's easy to fall on his bad side. He likes to get to know you before actually approaching and the fact that you never notice his stares does annoy him enough for it to build, which does cause great disappointment in you. He might give you around 3 tries or so to prove him that you do deserve some attention, but after failing to do so, he will move on to someone more interesting.
♥ Nurse: sweetest person around here, very concerned over your health, does not approve self-medication. Before taking any medications, over-the-counter drugs, supplements or herbs, consult a physician for a thorough evaluation.
♥ Deathslinger: cowboy macho with bad temper, might trick you into thinking that you're his love interest, while actually going for someone else.
♥ Trickster: typical default main character of visual novel. Has some interesting voicelines, but prefers to introduce you to his umbrella other than gifting even a single kunai.

ღ Dwight Fairfield: if you're about to pick your love interest, watch out! Dwights are not as cute and not as harmless as they might look. You can also achieve dark Dwight ending where he will suck you into the locker and close you in it forever.

For some unknown reason a lot of people that play as romance interest seem to hate phase when main character asks you to hook up in private zone and in devotion does spend all of his time staring in your eyes. People supposed to be flattered, yet they aren't. Most likely because of lack of the content that is available to you during date.
After 5 years of beta-testing of the game they still haven't added hug emotion to show to main character all the love he deserves.

Flowering Nightshade starts with prologue, starting it gives you a notification that for better experience you're supposed to go and play Blooming Nightshades. Since intro for all routes didn't make much sense to me, so I did exactly what game told me - went to read original story, which wasn't great. After doing so, prologue of this game started to look more than just weak. Our main character acts like she barely knew all those girls, which somewhat fair if you pick one of two of your friends as romance option and stop at it, but if you are going for other routes, it tries to make technique that is way too hard to implement for writer for this story - he's trying to make this fit for every other character as if you were romancing them this whole time, yet you still had to ask for their phone number on the start and act like you met them once or twice before. Any route that will follow this gets only weaker. Not saying how absurd it is to meet all of those people at same day, how they all agree to give you their contact information. This can be compared to going to some location, fast farming pack of the mobs, looting them and leaving.
Flowering Nightshade is even worse than it's predecessor. Why? Because it claims to be better, main character proudly declares that she isn't as shallow as she was before, which isn't true. Topless sprites look worse than character while being dressed, so what's the point of adding them in first place? Whole game makes you scream "why" if you'll stop for a second and start thinking about what's happening. Writing is as poor as in previous one, you not only don't feel anything happening, but you also become quite sure that characters feel the same. Reasoning that you've given behind some of the things makes you question if person that wrote is even familiar with it. Nobody drops university because of GRADES (and because your dog died), especially if character didn't care about them in Blooming Nightshades too.

I have a feeling it plays itself while I don't look, since some stuff that is happening in it goes from 0 to 100 without me realising. It's way too weird to hear that main character did something after the fact of it's happening other than while it was going.
Another thing about this VN is that I felt like someone affected with protagonist syndrome, looking at those character's life simplified to the max, making you question "what year is this?" or "why those rooms are so empty?" or "why those people have no other ideas on what to do that might not suit their basic image that was given you from very start? why your character doesn't actually has anything that she really likes and why sh'es not trying to share it with others?" or "how are you supposed to not die from extreme dullness of this all?" or "are we all trapped in here? where's option to insert your own text to try to talk to some other hooman beings so they could try and rescue me?". Don't get me wrong, I don't expect every dating novel to have funny banani all over it with fat collection of CGs, but I don't want to be getting those "we stare at each other for that long that at some point we're starting to believe that we did way more than that and it was couple of weeks back, so if you don't remember it very clearly it's might be because so much time passed already, but moving on with our lifes, when do you think you can marry me?"

+~ Музыкальное сопровождение/Sound
~ Визуальное оформление/Art
- Неумение автора такста "играть" с используемыми предметами ностальгии/Writer's inability to "play" with nostalgic items
- Нелогичность действий персонажей, в повествовании/Lack of logic in character's act, writer's text
- Речи детей трудно поверить/Hard to believe in kid's dialogue
- Слабый хоррор-элемент/Weak horror aspect of the game

Because original of this novel is written in russian, I will continue this review in russian.

Подробнее:
Текст не вызывает ностальгии (за исключением того, что если вдруг просто список самих вещей, которые представлены в игре и время от времени всплывают тут и там, будет для вас достаточным). И да и нет, с одной стороны те самые вещи не вызывают нужного эффекта если автор их использует одним образом, а вам они знакомы были иначе. Для того чтобы было понятнее, возьму личный пример: банка сгущенки. После того как один раз пробуешь сгущенку и она тебе не нравится, единственный способ это как-то изменить это - варить ее (и то не факт что поможет). И мне куда бы ближе было бы если бы автор писал о том, как он не может дождаться пока сгущенка в банке сварится, как ее достают и потом приходится ждать (опять!) пока та остынет, как хочется ее попробовать и какая же она горячая если потянуться к ней раньше времени.
Здесь они просто уминают булку со сгущенкой. Кстати, я вообще плохо помню именно булку в своем собственном детстве. Черный ржаной хлеб - да, как из него делали сухари в хлебнице или на противне - да, булку - нет. В самой новелле написано "хлеб" и я на это слово опят же представляю именно черный хлеб, но сомневаюсь что автор новеллы имел ввиду именно его, я не хочу думать о том какая это гадость есть его со сгущенкой.
Само описание дальше использования предметов и представления названий предметов не идет. Отчего и эффект слабый.

Теперь по логичности написаного. Да, я сейчас буду разбирать логику в хоррор новелле что со мной не так, но эта самая логика уничтожила мне атмосферу.
Почему они едят манную кашу вечером/ночью перед сном? Каши мне всегда представлялись исключительно утренней едой возможно, здесь что-то не так со мной, я все же люблю манку и в детстве она была тоже любимой кашей, особенно с медом.
Что не так с глазами и восприятием у мамы главного героя? Мы начинаем одеваться чтобы пойти на улицу, нам делают а-та-та и говорят не выходить наружу. Мы идем на кухню (я так понимаю что все еще одетые под улицу, так как не было никакого описания того что мы что-то снимали), мы врем маме про телевизор, она на это покупается не спрашивая ничего о том, почему мы в куртке, после чего мы нагло выбегаем наружу. Опять же не было никакого описания что мы второй раз одеваемся, из чего я опять же прихожу к мысли о том, что все это время мы были в куртке и ботинках в ботинках по дому, мы же не в американском сериале чтобы в кроссовках на диван залезать, в нормальном доме нашего Антошу давно бы уже придушили родители. Более того, по описанию дом небольшой, как мама не слышит как мы хлопаем входной дверью? Почему она не выбегает за нами чтобы дать нам люлей за непослушание сразу на месте? Это что-то вроде "много слов, мало дела" мама?
Клоунфеста продолжается по нашему возвращению домой, мама очень странно реагирует на то что мы в куртке и снегу, как будто до нее очень долго доходит что мы были на улице.
Почему она не забирает у нас варежку? Может, это опять же только у меня такое было, но принеси я что-то с улицы, знай мои родители о том, что это что-то где-то там валялось, у меня бы это мгновенно изъяли с подозрением на то, что на предмете может быть какая угодно зараза, в данном конкретном случае это вообще может быть еще и уликой в деле. Да даже если не отбирать предмет, его надо хотя бы осмотреть лично чтобы убедиться что это безопасно. Самое время добавлять опцию заглядывания игровой маме за спину, чтобы посмотреть нет ли у нее на шее Х.
Второй день по описанию как-то очень быстро проходит в плане ощущения времени/логики того сколько по времени должно было занять это действие.

Привлекло исключительно визуальное оформление (музыка вроде бы ничего, а вроде бы и ничего особенного) и то очки у мальчика странной формы, ни у кого кто носил очки в школе они не были круглыми, поправьте Гарри Поттера на русского ребенка пожалуйста.
Нет спасибо, больше не желаю.

You'll say "unlucky" more times than Forsen does for his unluckiest stream.

In the world where you can donate for:

• subscription;
  
• bunch of resources and currencies such as: gold, gems, ingots, key packs (like Typhoon of Keys Pack with 450 keys for 99.99$);
  
• some kind of Season Pass (called Campaign Pass and does cost 9.99$ or 24.99$ if you want Elite+);
  
• Deathknight Pack with "best armor bonuses in game" (rest of armours can be bought with gems that you can get for daily logins and for doing tasks on adventure board, yet best one is still real money only) that is available only for shy 49.99$

... last thing is that you wanna see is you getting unlucky with skull drops on top of the board.
Game also has story mode, where said "story" written worse than your 5-years old little sister would do. At first you end up yourself skipping all the possible dialogues, smashing your way through, till story enemy cards will outlevel you, while also having traits active, when you (unless you paid great deal of money) will have your troops barely above "not-even-close-baby" and only dreaming of traitstones.
Rankeds also give you opponents without looking at your and their level, you might easily getting matched with defence team of player that is 20 levels above you (yes, you choose your opponent out of 3 that you get, but you have no information about player lvls when you do, just picture of one of the cards that is used in their deck and bounty amount, that does let you assume how easy or how hard it is to win against them).
AI skips 4-match and 5-match only when it's about to cast card's skill instead and it does cast Charm even if there's nothing that this ability can be used on (which just skips their turn).
Game with all those daily deals being flashed right in your face, would suit only person with super abilities of Batman.

Any CL4P-TP fan will recommend this, and I happen to be one.

And if you actually decide to play as CL4P-TP, it will give you lore-accurate experience of your friends saying "I won't play with you", since you pressing F is too annoying for anyone but CL4P-TP-fan to handle.
