**PA FOR THOSE READING FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ EXTRA FIRST GODAMNIT DOING OTHERWISE RUINS THE EXPERIENCE**

Soooo after a fairly decent wait, however not long at all considering how other kickstarters have worked, we finally have the first two (Technically one) VN's in the muv luv triology, since i have read both of these thrice over or so i'll just do a quick review after skimming sumika's route

First up, they have done an excellent job importing this to the Alternative engine, this brings more life to the vn with actual movement and lip animation in the characters and of course a 16:9 resolution over the original 4:3

Along with that they have also improved the translation quality which is amazing considering it didn't take too long for this to be released, they also added an option to switch between english and japanese image text (and normal text) which is also another bonus

Anyway on to the vn itself

Extra:

This is a generic romance, not going to hold anything back because this is my favorite VN series of all time, the characters are all cliche as f*ck however they aren't that bad in terms of writing, the reason why Extra is techinically 'bad' is because the entire setting and such makes the characters act in a typical uninteresting way which is what this triology relies on heavily. You have your main character which can appear as a 'self insert' if you lok at it that way although he generally is a lot more agressive and a lot less, ahem, frgid?, you'll also notice that Extra likes to make fun of typical romance tropes, a lot actually since the bulk of this game is pure comedy which isn't that bad

Overall without spoiling, Extra is a romance with decent comedy, general charcters and settings, nothing is surprising and it's fine that way, how much you enjoy extra will be based on your experience with the Romance/SoL settings in general

Next up is:
Unlimited:

Yes, this is where the story takes about a 90 degree turn (180 is alternative) and thrusts our poor Shirogane in to an entirely different world, or is it?

*SPOILERS START HERE*

This is where everything starts to get interesting, the entire world has been at war for over 50-60 years with an alien race codenamed BETA [Beings of Extra-Terrestrial origin that are Adversarys of the human race) and the town he had lived in was now a crumbled mess and he 'spawned' in his house in the same location as his house in the previous world, a quick walk around town still leads him to believe it to be a dream, it's only when he approaches a seemingly miltaristic base where his school used to be that he starts realising it's a reality, or well, kind of

Unlimited largely relies on your familiarity with the cast as they all appear in Unlimited (MINUS ONE), while yes it does rely on slice of life and romance genres like Extra, the setting and events all push it out differently, All the characters still retain their personalities of the previous world however due to their experiences and such in this world their ideologies and such differ a little and Takeru realises this quickly, however there's no point to dulging in to this quickly as Unlimited just scratches on the surface at what will come in to Alternative

Anyway, Unlimited is quite a bit more enjoyable than alternative, it does delve in to much deeper themes and many serious events occur which start to flesh out these counter-parts of the characters you experienced in the dream world of extra whilst still retaining the dreamish feeling by avoiding any drastic or downright dark events, keeping unlimited still in the realms of a slice of life, it also exists to familiarise you with the BETAVERSE, how the political structure is working, how the civilians and the military think and work, all of this incredibly strong worldbuilding exists here and should not be skimmed over, while it isn't shown a full timeline exists showing every single event since the beta landed over 60 years ago.

The VN ends off at a point which makes you ask questions, i'm not going to lie as this is not a VN with a 'happy' ending, the ending is supposed to make you anticipated for the sequel, in the end there is nothing that could be done and the dream is shattered, it's definitely an ending that will hit you if you have actualyl read Extra + Unlimited

I'll post a suggestion on the routes here:

Extra:
Sumika - REQUIRED
Meiya - REQUIRED
Ayamine - Largely Suggested
Class Rep - Choice, though it's similarity to Ayamines
Tama - Complete choice as this route doesn't explore much
etc

Unlimited:
Complete choice since all the routes are the same except the ending is different
As in it's the same event but different heroine etc
However i suggest doing Meiya's (I did Ayamine the first time around, Meiya second)

Anyway that's my, ahem, quick review of this VN, probably just sounds like ramblings to most people

Suggestion status:
READ IT AND WAIT SHIVERING IN YOUR TSF FOR ALTERNATIVE

Ooooor go read Alternative Projects translation of it, your choice

EDIT:

After finshing the vn 100% (all achievements) i can say they did a great job in localisation, other than renaming Eishi to their proper name Surface Pilots
Along with that they added voice lines and extra animations in as well as additional CG's which bring everything together nicely
No issues with it after being made on to the Alternative engine
Only thing i found weird was that whilst the marimo scene was still in there, there was no 'bad end', also the unlimited
common route isn't there either
Anyway, go read now!

So, after the long wait i got this game (Missed out on the LE which is killing me), going to give the game in some simple points

+Catgirls
+Gorgeous art of Saori
+Emofuri style animation done perfectly
+Good Comedy

-Incredibly Short, even with the 18+ Content added in, though it's only £7 so it's not too bad
-Story is Subpar, usual things
-Characters are the usual, with a Cat part added in
-Writing isn't too great

That's all you need to know really, if you're gonna read this it's going to be for the art, animations and Nekomimi and i'm reccommending this because i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOVE Kemonomimi

>Nekopara
>VN
>English
>Animated

If that's not enough to make me reccomend this... well damn i would be stupid
