Hello there fellow VN enjoyers. I thought 2 share my thoughts and feelings on this game as well. Even if I usually don't do much reviews (compared to how many video games (variety of genres) I've been playing in my life). Also English isn't my native language, so sorry for that.
Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫: Once again the music and the VA in this are amazing.

Graphics ☼: I am kinda torn here. So the Graphics ain't bad. The drawing style wasn't one of my favourites though and I had to get used to it. Backgrounds are neat as always though. Also I liked the "darker" theme of colours. Everything else is just taste.

Controls ✥: Rather simple as always. You have the option to toggle MC Voice on or off. Also the skip read text options that will be really of use in this game if you want to go for all routes.

Story ❀: The Story is interesting. You wake up in a manor with no memory and all. Step by step tiny pieces will come back to you until at the end the whole "truth" will be explained. The road from start to beginning is intriguing and will probably at least make your heart ache a tiny bit as you will "regain memory".

Replayability ∞: I recommend trying to go through every single route to see every aspect of the game and understand some situation way better than one could in a single route.
Furthermore this is one of those games where, once the memory has faded a bit, I would recommend playing again.

My Opinion ❤: So I am happy to have played this game since on the whole it has an interesting story to piece together. I was just kinda "disappointed" with some choices. Let me explain what I mean:
You have 4 "love interest" choices you can decide on a route for. And you will have your more or less romantic ending with them if you pursue that (even if some left me more of a bittersweet taste - but okay).
Beside those you have another 4 "generic" endings one can achieve: Best Ending, Happy Ending, Real World Ending and Bad Ending.
My issue I had with those is that they kinda push the interest bound all towards a certain person as If every other choice taken would not matter at all. Even in the personal endings you get a hint to that. This maybe hit a sore spot since I kinda had my troubles with this character from the start.
Nevertheless in an otome romantic VN one would expect that it is up to you what route u wanna take and whom ur heart will be given.

Negatives ✗: There are some translation mistakes where as a non native english speaker I had to read the sentence more than once to fully get it, alongside with some typing mistakes all along the way.
Besides that I personally had a hard time with the Chart. Towards the end I kinda got used to it but it wasn't really a thing I liked.
The minigame is awful to play on the keyboard. I had to place my controller in to have a chance to get enough points to easily unlock all the side stories.

~ At the End of the day I don't regret playing this game. It has an interesting and intriguing story. If you are here to seek some real romance feelings though it may not be the game I would grab. Still - especially if found on sale - I would recommend giving it a try!

3.5/5 ✮

Hello there fellow VN enjoyers. I thought 2 share my thoughts and feelings on this game as well. Even if I usually don't do much reviews (compared to how many video games (variety of genres) I've been playing in my life). Also English isn't my native language, so sorry for that.
Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫: The music is as before really good and fitting.

Graphics ☼: Graphics are still really good. You have even some improved Character style that shows blinking and a bit of a fitter look.

Controls ✥: You have more or less the normal VN controls. You also have the chance to skip the parts you have already read and stop at the next choice / unseen text.

Story ❀: So after you went through hell *wink* you have a time skip of 2 years (good endings only) to enjoy a bit of the love joy u deserved. Each route had a different outcome and Evermore will continue right with these events.
This time you don't have all that "drama" about making it but it's the simple struggle of love we all know. Relationships are hard to have and so you get more insight in this scenario.

Replayability ∞: I totally recommend going for all there is, good and better. It is nice to see the different outcomes and you could miss some flirty moment!

My Opinion ❤: So when I saw there was some sort of sequel I totally had to go for it. And let me say it was totally worth the money. My expectations for men now are set so high that probably no one will reach that. Thanks for that Rod and Karma ;)
I really enjoyed reading how the future turned out to be, what our favs had to go through and live those moments with them.

Negatives ✗: I can't really think of anything to be honest. I did not have any technical issues, controls were fine. The sequel is still well made.

~ What can I say? If you are still looking for that super rollercoaster kick you most probably won't find it here. But If you need more time with the cuties before you let them go and are in for some bittersweet moments, even only to support the really well made games so far: BUY IT. PLAY IT. Thank me later.

Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫: The music is nice and fitting. There is no Voice Acting though.

Graphics ☼: The graphics are really good and some of the CG are really breathtaking. They're all really good, don't get me wrong - but some are just really reaaaally awesome.

Controls ✥:  You have more or less the normal VN controls. You also have the chance to skip the parts you have already read and stop at the next choice / unseen text.
 
Story ❀: So you have more or less of a similar flow to all the routes even though they kinda differ for everyone one as well. So that going for another route is pleasant and you still find out a lot of stuff that you may have missed on a route before or even get a totally different outcome.
As I enjoyed them the most this would be Rod and Karma in 1st place, Waltz in 2nd place, Fritz in 3rd and Rumpel in 4th.
Every story has something to teach and probably will bring tears to your eyes. Either for the heartbreak or the joy (bad / good endings).

Replayability ∞:  I totally recommend going for all there is, good and bad. This game is just too good for one to not do that. Also once some time has passed I surely will come and enjoy it again!

My Opinion ❤: This was awesome. For a free game I at first didn't expect much. I wasn't thinking of it as to be bad but I was setting my mind on a probably shorter Novel with "not real bonding" (for myself) to the characters. Boy was I wrong!!!
This game got me laughing, crying and being desperate. I was overfilled with joy and heartbroken. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and I was totally sucked into the realm. The characters are well developed, the visuals are neat, the music is just right every time to accompany the mood. This is just perfect.

Negatives ✗: I can't really think of anything to be honest. I did not have any technical issues, controls were fine. This game is well made.

~ So yeah, what to say about it. If you are going for a rollercoaster of emotions I would totally recommend Cinderella Phenomenon to you. It's a must read imo for Otome enjoyers. No really, do it. You have to!

Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫:  I love the voice acting. It is really good and the voices suit the characters really well. Also the music choice is nice and comfy.

Graphics ☼: The graphics are neat and enjoyable.

Controls ✥: Since you have no control of the choices there isn't much needed. You can hide the text to have a better look of the screen though.
 
Story ❀: It feels kinda more of a "Prologue". You have the chance to get to know all 4 catboys a bit better but it is very short. Also you have no choices at all so it's a mere sit and read enjoy moment. It also feels rather "open Ended" as if more was to come.

Replayability ∞: As for now not really. If a longer story with maybe a few choices were to come I guess this could improve the replayability of the VN.

My Opinion ❤: Even though you don't have much to do besides reading I enjoyed my time. The characters seem interesting and enjoyable with very distinct personalities. I really hope that more of the story will come out even if I am not sure if something is in the making. I see potential in this one so I am looking forward to any news that will be shared!


Negatives ✗: It is really short and you have no choices at all. Also it feels "unfinished". But maybe something is in the making, who knows.
You as a MC don't speak and with that I don't talk about voice acting but you don't have a text. The boys will repeat what you said as a question or similiar or the screen will simply share for a yes or a no. It was a bit irritating at some point.

~ Well yeah, If you are looking for a real story or interactive choices this is definitely the wrong title for you. Still If you enjoy reading and want to meet some handsome catboys (I mean who wouldn't want to let's be real here) then I would recommend you to totally give it a try and go for it!

Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫: So everyone beside the playable MC has a voice (Japanese DUB). I don't understand Japanese but even so It was really appealing hearing your sweethearts talk to you. Also the OST of this game is amazing. The soundtracks are  just awesome. Also the fact that almost every route credit comes with an individual song really got me. I can't stop listening to LOVESICK T _ T

Graphics ☼: The Graphics are fine. I needed some time to get into the style of the protagonists but probably because I came from a totally different style before. The Backgrounds are well made and give you a good idea of the ambientations. Also the different route CG and the few animations here are really well made.

Controls ✥: You have the chance to skip already read text if you replay and try to go for a different approach. Especially If you go wrong and have to start over bcs the last save u have bring you to a dead end. Literally lol
 
Story ❀: The romance in this game is more of a sidekick. This game is really concentrating on the mystery aspect. Which is totally fine. The Answer to your questions will be given to you throughout the various routes that you can play.
In total 7 Every of my questions got answered so I was happy about that. The story itself is interesting, even If I couldn't sympathize with every route (I guess personal taste).
Following some thoughts to the different routes in order as you unlock them.

Hino: Your childhood friend. It's clear that he has a crush on you from the very beginning and in every route you take. I liked both endings, but I didn't get as involved as maybe with others.

Isora: Don't ask me why but I love this guy. You don't really learn much about what is going on in this route (also I think because the first 2 are more of a build up) but he totally got me. Also the way he protects you was maybe the most "passionate?" of them all. He is a bit impulsive and sometimes I thought "sweety fing relax oO" but considering it all I liked this character really much.

Toa: He loves cats. A LOT. This alone won my heart! He also is a real cuty and maybe he was the biggest plot twist of them all. Even though his route will give heartache for sure.

Sosuke: He is maybe the one I got less into from them all (beside maybe one other). His character is not that much "appealing" to me, way to rational but I still enjoyed his route and the discoveries you make.

Yuzuki: Ever since his first bad glare he gives you I kinda was hooked. His route is nice, you learn so much about him. Even though the normal end was really heartbreaking. My heart broke a tiny little bit </3

True Route: Okay this was .... the most sad and heartbreaking thing I have ever read. I liked Toa a lot - and he was one of my top 3 I really wished for a happy ending - but even so, this route is really much to go through. In a game where you kinda can go your own way I am not sure why this should be the "true" one but still, stuff hit deep. I think after I finished this, and replayed Toa's route to read the letter I didn't have any words left. I was in shock. Stuff was depressing af. Without any glimpse of hope.

Hanate: This was the most disappointing route. I mean you learn the reason about why you seem target number one and a lot of background story as well. But besides that I couldn't sympathize at all. Hanate seems like a nice "guy" but it felt kinda ... wrong? So I get it that he knows that she isn't related to him, but the love thing got me kinda cringe vibes. Also why didn't he free himself earlier? And moreover he dies and every memory just fades away in an instant? Idk the Background part was good but I hoped for something more. Or something different at least.

Replayability ∞: You will need to play it over to get in some different routes anyway. Also since u can get stuck in a dead end you have to start over anyway. Still I guess once memories fade it is one of those games one can replay.

My Opinion ❤: It's a good mystery that gets you involved to find out more about what is going on. The romantic feelings are maybe not many and elaborate but still sweet. The MC is kinda annoying (super naive and stuff) but once you get into the last route I kinda understood the why of that. I couldn't agree to everything (route wise) in the game but that is only personal taste. All Around it is a really nice game that can get you hooked on the lore for quite some time.
Also the fact that every route is kinda connected is nice. Stuff may be different in some parts but the "story" still remains really consistent.

Negatives ✗: There were some typos here and there but nothing way off. The only thing the game crashed A LOT for me. I tried to save often but even trying to save the game still just crashed anyway. Usually when you see no Background (everything black) you should try to save. Most probably the game is about to crash anyway so with a bit of luck u may manage to still save.
Beside that, the last route was kinda disappointing as better explained above.

~ Conclusion, If you can get past the crashes and are not in search for a mainly romantic game - are prepared for some depressing moments - and like a good mystery to unravel I can recommend that game to you. 24,99€ on steam are rather fine (better than the PSVITA Physical price atm for sure T _ T) but at least If you see it discounted I would totally suggest you give it a try and hang in there. Most information will start to be given with route 3-4 so don't give up hopes at the beginning and enjoy the nice sound and graphics!

Please be aware that the review could contain a few minor or bigger spoilers (those will be marked as spoilers).

Sounds ♫: This game hasn't pretty much any talking beside some sentences here and there. And If you download the free name DLC with spoken names to choose from your name could be said a few times around.
Besides that, the surroundings and the music put me really at peace and let me enjoy the game to its fullest.

Graphics ☼: I looooove the graphics of this game. The Backgrounds, the Characters, the animations. It felt really smooth and really well made. VN are not all about Graphics since the story is the important part about it, but the Graphics here just shows how much was cared for the game and is really appealing.

Controls ✥: You have the chance to skip already read text if you replay and try to go for a different approach
 
Story ❀: It's a multiple choice, built on romance VN, where u follow the story from childhood to adulthood with the boy next door. You decide how fast the romance is gonna build up.

Replayability ∞: I think to get a full sight you need to play it at least 2 times to get every side of the medal. But once some time has passed and my memories start to fade I will totally go for a replay of the story!

My Opinion ❤: This is a romance full dive in story. I could see the developments of the relationship, and the characters growing up during the years. Also based on your choices the characters will handle some different dialogues. There is not really a wrong answer you can give so you can play with the game style that suits more ur self. As the time passes one gets totally sucked into the whole scenario and you really just want to see what will happen next, how everything will bloom in the end. A full pack of emotions will get right to you. I already teared up here and there in various situations, but once I reached the Wedding DLC it was over and I couldn't keep the tears in anymore.
Since it was really like I went through the whole time with all of them, when they stand there in front of you and talk about the years that have been and what you all have been through, Cove's speech at the wedding, really everything filled me with joy and tears.

Negatives ✗: I really don't have anything I could put inside here to be honest. I didn't even have technical issues with the game (crashes or typos I can recall).

~ So, If you are up for some romance VN I can totally recommend our lives beginning and always to any of you. The price compared to other titles is totally worth it and even less than for many other titles out there.

5/5 ✮

Just writing this so u be aware that this game is abandoned and never got elaborated as much as it would be worth any money.

It was just the most awesome game I could play last few years <3

Ich finde dieses Spiel wirklich gut, es hilft mir ungemein zwischendurch um einfach abzuschalten. Habe es auch oft an wenn ich nebenbei was schaue oder einfach ein bisschen ablenkung für zwischendurch brauche,
Empfholen habe ich es auch schon vielen Freunden.
Würde es auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen.
Vielleicht wären ein paar mehr Missionen super, aber kein Grund es nicht zu kaufen <3

Update 2020: Finde es echt klasse das Sie nach all dieser Zeit immer noch Sachen rausbringen und nicht auf ein Houseflipper 2 gekommen sind. Einfach die besten :D

I've kinda loved this game.
If u are looking for an nice and funny Point and click game with a good story The Longest Journey will be surly your choice.
I had 22 hours of fun. The storyline was interesting (always played more and more just HAD to know what was hapenning next).
The chars are well made. I loved every single one u can encounter through the gameplay. Matching voices, funny and well made personalities.
Though the 'riddles' are are not that hard (I dont think if u properly listen to the story and read the Diary u find a part where u rly can get stuck) it is much fun to play.
The music was good and matching.
The cutscences were short but nice (well older game no big grafic over here, but thats not all it is about in games).
Only No-Go so scenes just took to long imo. I know u can just jump them, but who am I to know there is not going to happen somthing important?
I can just say: Go and get it!
Fav char? I would say Bird Bird <3
