Sympathy Kiss review for Nintendo Switch

System: Change Launch date: February 27, 2024 Developer: Thought Manufacturing unit Writer: Thought Manufacturing unit Akari Amasawa is somebody that I’m positive loads of us can relate to: she wakes up within the morning, she goes to work after breakfast, and he or she comes dwelling within the night. Rinse and repeat. Her job is one which might be executed by mainly anybody, and her life is unremarkable. However actually, what else are you able to anticipate? That’s simply life. However even unremarkable circumstances can change, and for Akari, who has been with IT firm Estario Corp. as a designer for nearly a yr, her work life (and, after all, her private life) is instantly turned upside-down when she is recruited as a part of a small staff to avoid wasting one of many firm’s founding apps, which has been shedding momentum as it's pushed out by the competitors. Her new function is unsure, and her new colleagues are strangers. In Sympathy Kiss, a brand new otome title from Thought Manufacturing unit, you’ll be becoming a member of her on her journey to navigate the perilous trenches of labor, romance, and life. The alternatives you’ll make alongside the best way are most likely not what most individuals would do in her scenario, nevertheless it’s definitely a pleasant break from the stressors of on a regular basis life. At the same time as an avid reader of otome visible novels, I typically discover the opening hours could be troublesome to get by means of. Pacing within the frequent route (the occasions shared between all characters earlier than the paths diverge to give attention to people) could be fairly tough, because it tries to each introduce you to the forged sufficient to kind an attachment to them whereas concurrently bombarding you with technical jargon regarding its fantasy setting so that you simply’ll have some body of reference for the occasions to come back. Breaking from that established norm, I discovered Sympathy Kiss to be remarkably refreshing as a result of it has completely none of those pacing points in its opening prologue. As Akari (whose title could be modified for those who so want) you might be an atypical workplace employee thrust into a brand new function that you'll determine the path of for your self, and your colleagues are individuals you could be passingly accustomed to however who're in the end strangers to you. The sport is introduced in a relatable style that's nearly fully true to actual life, and so there isn't any have to bombard you with new phrases to frantically search for within the dictionary each few sentences. This characteristic is used very sparingly, having a meager 62 entries unfold out throughout particular person routes, and are extra a degree of reference for characters, or particular jargon you could not have heard earlier than, however are not at all important to understanding the setting or story. On the contrary, the sport appears as decided to omit the particular particulars of the work the characters do as doable, by no means lingering for too lengthy on them even after they’re truly being mentioned.

With out this have to familiarize your self with an odd new world or be taught an exhaustively convoluted set of latest phrases, you’re free to dive straight in and focus your consideration on the forged. That core forged of affection pursuits is the only real focus of the sport, and though their personalities all fall into some fully anticipated stereotypes, and the dialogue can vary from cliche to downright disturbing when the romance heats up, I discovered all of them to be surprisingly nuanced and possessing hidden depths that I didn’t anticipate them to have based mostly on their first impressions. The cheerful and pleasant Mitsuki Saotome, as an example, is definitely one thing of a closed-off perfectionist, resulting in some very tense exchanges over the course of his route that utterly contradict how he presents himself within the prologue, and he turns into a way more complicated character over the course of his six episode story. In between episodes you’ll get the chance to discover an occasion from their perspective as effectively, which could be fairly enlightening as their view of occasions is usually utterly totally different from Akari’s. This added degree of complexity makes the love pursuits really feel much more alive as characters, and it had me extra invested of their private struggles. It’s all fairly low-stakes drama for probably the most half however unusually compelling regardless of this, or maybe even due to it: the issues the characters have are simple to narrate to and sympathize with, and Sympathy Kiss dives into some emotionally potent matters which might be dealt with with a stunning degree of depth and sensitivity, together with workplace-related stress and nervousness, burnout, and extra sophisticated workplace politics and battle. For those who’ve ever labored in an workplace atmosphere earlier than, numerous what's introduced right here might very effectively mirror your personal experiences at occasions, and I discovered it simple to narrate to Akari specifically as somebody comparatively inexperienced surrounded by individuals who (at the very least at first look) are extra assured and succesful than her. With that mentioned, Akari is sadly fairly underwhelming in the case of her character improvement and development, and though the story unfolds from her perspective and also you get an inside view of her thought course of, she solely ever describes issues, relatively than truly talking within the first particular person. The concept right here is for the participant to place themselves in her sneakers (that is exacerbated even additional by the in-game CGs, which exit of their option to cover her face, and the truth that she doesn’t have a personality portrait) however it could possibly make for some awkward and one-sided conversations because the characters on-screen react to what she has mentioned with out you truly attending to see that dialogue. Given the energy of the writing and the way Akari’s anxieties about her efficiency within the office are sometimes introduced entrance and heart within the narrative, it might have been good to have her as a extra developed and totally realized character.

Sympathy Kiss options branching pathways and a number of endings, and as you would possibly anticipate there are numerous selections so that you can make within the sport, though nearly all of these are extra within the nature of taste textual content that personalize the expertise. With the Emotion Choose system you’ll be given the selection between two emoji to react to one thing in dialog, and your response will typically be famous for future dialogue; for instance, you'll be able to react positively or negatively to a dialogue about siblings to point whether or not you will have a sibling your self. It doesn’t considerably affect the path the story takes, however does add a pleasant private contact to interrupt up the extra scripted dialogue. You’ll additionally often be given a alternative of two minor dialogue selections, each as regular textual content and by way of the RiNG app in your cellphone; Akari has a keenness for utilizing emoji as responses that I discovered to be fairly endearing. The pivotal story moments which come as soon as per episode are extra clearly telegraphed. A vocal observe will normally start to play softly within the background, and also you’ll be introduced with 4 dialogue selections. Two of those will relate to the “Work” ending whereas the opposite two will relate to the “Love” ending, and usually certainly one of every will fill the corresponding meter and produce you nearer to the result you want. Thankfully the sport makes it very simple so that you can manipulate the circumstances to your liking: the “Love Catch” system (which could be disabled for those who’d favor to play by means of blind) will point out with a blue or pink flower which route your alternative pertains to, and checking the Standing choice from the menu will present if that alternative has had an affect or not. This isn't an unusual characteristic in otome titles, nevertheless it’s executed significantly effectively right here and it makes getting the ending that you really want a lot simpler to perform without having to resort to holding a number of save recordsdata at every vital junction. On the absolute most you’ll have to reload thrice to examine the affect of every alternative, though it’s normally pretty apparent which one to decide on for a specific final result. When you’ve accomplished a personality’s route you might be additionally ready to return to any episode in that story from the menu, adjusting each the Work and Love meters to excessive or low, making it very simple to get the opposite endings. The sport additionally has two skip capabilities (one for learn textual content, and one for all textual content) that can assist you particularly pinpoint dialogue you missed, slicing down on time you'd have in any other case spent re-reading issues. This all makes seeing every thing that Sympathy Kiss has to supply a really speedy and nice expertise.

Sadly the important thing story beats don’t change a lot no matter your solutions, which may make the romance parts really feel fairly incongruous for those who’re choosing the Work route. Even for those who choose the entire selections comparable to Work, you’ll nonetheless find yourself going by means of the steamier scenes, and most of the time choosing the Work route will omit smaller particulars of the romance between Akari and the chosen love curiosity because the dialogue takes a much less private tone, which may make it really feel all of the extra jarring if you’re instantly thrown headfirst right into a heated second that doesn’t actually make a lot sense inside that context. With such a transparent distinction between Work and Love, I felt that it might have been extra acceptable to omit these scenes for one thing extra platonic than romantic, to make your selections really feel extra impactful. Though the Work endings don’t really feel just like the customary dangerous endings which might be a staple of the style, they didn’t really feel as satisfying as pursuing the Love endings, and this weakens their general affect. Every route can be just a little shorter than the usual, lasting round three hours apiece and a reasonable studying pace, though I didn’t discover this to be a detriment to the standard of the writing or the narrative pacing. Sympathy Kiss ’ presentation is kind of fashionable, and though among the menu textual content is just a little laborious to learn, being squished right into a small house or in an in any other case illegible font, the in-game textual content is straightforward and cleanly highlighted towards a white background, making simple to learn, though some extra fonts would have been a welcome inclusion. The animated character portraits and static CGs, illustrated by Fujirito (who additionally labored on Lover Faux) are all eye-catching and fantastically introduced, with probably the most outlandish factor about them being the hair colour selections for among the characters. The sport is totally voice-acted in Japanese, with character portraits synced to the voices, and with greater than sufficient totally different facial expressions to match, though only a few totally different poses, which may make proceedings really feel just a little lifeless at occasions. I did discover the odd grammar error sprinkled all through throughout my playthrough, however these have been fortunately few and much between and the localization of the textual content is of an general top quality. The Verdict

The quick route construction and acquainted settings that don’t require you to wade by means of pages and pages of jargon to know what's going on make Sympathy Kiss an excellent place to begin for many who have by no means learn an otome title earlier than, and a very good palette cleanser for followers of the style who need a extra digestible expertise, or only a change of tempo. In a post-pandemic atmosphere the place many people at the moment are completely working from dwelling Sympathy Kiss can really feel nearly nostalgic at occasions, which provides to its allure, and what it lacks in drama it greater than makes up for in emotional depth. The selection between Work and Love might have been made extra significant from extra dialogue – or on the very least, omission of the romance scenes for those who opted for the previous – and it falls prey to some cliche dialogue at occasions, however is nonetheless a strong visible novel that explores some extremely relatable and attention-grabbing themes in a method that many will have the ability to respect. Sympathy Kiss copy supplied by the writer for the needs of this evaluate. Associated Source link Read the full article

"Mommy! Mommy! Tell me that story again!" Hinata jumped and jumped in excitement. His eyes are full of childhood innocence and enthusiasm. Hinata is a 6-year-old lad who lives with his mother, Yui, who is ill. His father works 24/7 to buy medicine for his mother because that's the only thing they can afford. No matter how much they need to go to the hospital, she just stayed at home so that her husband wouldn't exhaust himself from working.

"What story?" His mother asked, messing with Hinata's fluffy orange hair. Her mother couldn't stop smiling.

"The story of the Kitsune princess!" He exclaimed with excitement.

"Alright, alright, calm down, darling," Yui said, guiding the little lad to sit by her side. Hinata sat beside his mother, cross-legged.

"This is the story of the Kitsune princess..."

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Once upon a time, there lived the crown princess of the Inari. Her name was Shizuku, meaning 'relaxing sky'. She grew up with 2 brothers who are twins, but in which they were never found after the Emperor sent them out of the household. This was because of their rebellion against the dynasty. In that time, Shizuku was desperate to see her brothers again, so she rebelled against her family with anger. She broke the rules little by little, but she gets away with it, as she is the crown princess. Then, she broke the golden rule, not to go to the human world.

At night, she swiftly shapeshifted into human and sneaked out of the Imperial House, with her subordinate covering for her. She then found herself walking into a small village in Hyogo. It was nighttime, the cold as freezing as ice, the wind as slow and swift as the cats at night. She strode through the sleeping streets, with her hakama gliding through the concrete ground. She then saw a Cherry Blossom tree, blossoming in the moon's light. She runs towards it and danced with glee under it.

She had a lot of these in the Imperial House, but this one feels different. The peach-coloured flowers gay her in delight, as the moon shone like a spotlight for her. As she didn't notice, a guy stood far away.

He looked at her suspiciously, for she wore a hakama.

"Hey."

Shizuku stopped, she looked at where the voice came from. She flushed in embarrassment.

"Um-hi?"

"Why are you here this late at night?"

"Um..." She couldn't say a word, she can't tell him what really happened or he'll find her crazy.

The guy then walked closer to her, keeping a meter away from where she's standing. He looked at the flowers and held one in his hand. He smiled, she blushed more.

"I remember when I was young, I danced under the tree," He then glanced at her. "Like you did earlier."

"U-um-about that-"

"Don't worry, everyone will want to dance under this tree," He smiled at her.

"What's your name?"

"Um...Shizuku. Ito Shizuku."

"Seiji. Tanaka Seiji."

"That name..."

"Hm?"

"Does that mean 'lawful and just'?"

"I don't know..."

"Well, that what it means," She then stood closer to him.

Seiji then took his hand out for a handshake, Shizuku followed.

"It's nice to meet you, Shizuku-san."

"You too, Seiji-san."

But little did Seiji know, Shizuku found his name...familiar.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Yui smiled, to see her son asleep on her lap. She gently caressed his hair, being joyful that this angel existed in her life. She placed a small kiss on his head and covered him with a blanket. She laid down beside and bid him goodnight.

The moon watched over the two sleeping humans, tears are starting to fall from her eyes.

2.

Morning came, birds singing their endless tune, animals staring to do their morning routines. The sun blinded the eyes of Osamu, who woke up early in the morning to play with Akari, an adopted fox that Grandmama took custody of. Atsumu looked at the sky, covering his eyes a little because of the sun. Akari was sitting beside Osamu, playing with a sunflower.

"Osamu! Osamu!" She called.

"Yes, Akari-chan?"

"Look," she pointed at the butterfly that was sitting on the sunflower she's holding.

"How pretty..."

The butterfly then flew away from the flower, it then rested on Atsumu's nose.

"What's this?" He interrogated, still fuzzy in sleep.

"Good Morning, Tsum-tsum," Akari greeted.

"Mornin'. What time is it?"

"7 am, my darling twin," Osamu replied with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"I'm going back to sleep," he said, walking back into the small house.

"NO!" Akari then stood up from her seat then grabbed Atsumu. "You're not going anywhere..."

"I'm still sleepy, Akari."

"No."

A small chuckle then escaped Osamu's lips.

"Akari-"

"It's already morning. Waking up late are for lazy foxes. You won't have the energy to run and do things..."

"No-"

"NO! Follow me!"

"But I'm older-"

"I'm still more powerful than you," Akari smugged.

"Jeez, yes, God Akari..."

Osamu started to laugh quietly. Things never change, huh, he thought.

Then, someone called from the kitchen.

"Now stop fighting you two and come here for breakfast. Osamu, can you set up the table In the garden?"

"Yes, Grandmama," Osamu then stood up from log he's sitting on and went to the garden to begin preparing.

"Haiiiiii!" Akari and Atsumu answered loudly.

"Now, follow your god," Akari then pulled Atsumu towards the garden.

"You can let me go..."

"All right," But when Akari let go of Atsumu, he ran as fast as he can to his room. Unfortunately, Akari caught him immediately.

"Got ya..."

Akari smirked. She dragged him forcefully to the garden.

"Ow!"

Grandmama smiled.

"Oh, my daughter, looked at how your twins grew,"

She then went back to preparing the food.

3.

"Thank you for the food!"

They all said in unison, while Atsumu said it to Akari. He got a smack in the head.

"Hey!"

Akari ignored him and ate her food.

"Brat,"

"Lazy fox," She replied softly.

"What?!-"

"Stop fighting and just eat," Osamu sternly butted in.

"Yes," Atsumu replied. Then, from the corner of his eye, he saw Akari smirking.

"This brat..."

Their breakfast was still as tasty as ever. And the secret ingredient, the laughs and stories between the family.

Chapter 1 is done! I'm sorry if I took a while...

And tests are done so...I can update as much as I can! I'm already producing chapter 2 so don't you worry!~

But, I would like to self-advertise like a saleswoman here, but please check out my Quotev account. I just like it there than Wattpad because you can make quizzes. And people there find the stories faster than Wattpad. I already have 15 followers there while here, I only have 3 for no some reason. But it's fine, I'll wait!

But I'm really sorry if this is short and all...but I already have the plot and structure of the story. It just might take a while because I still have to search some words from the million words the English vocabulary has to find a good structure to express this story.

But, I hoped you enjoyed Chapter 1! Chapter 2 will be AtsuHina's meeting...

Oof-spoiler.

Bye!

And yes, some notes:

-Akari is two years younger than the twins. Osamu and Atsumu are born on October 5 and Akari is born on February 1.

-Ito Shizuku and Tanaka Seiji are Incarnations. You'll know more in the next few chapters.

-The twins are more than a hundred years old, same as Akari. Hinata is 6 years old, as said earlier.

-Hinata's father won't have that mush storytime here. He'll be anonymous.

-Hinata's mom is made up because there's no much info about her in the manga and anime.

-The gif above is from the Ghibli movie Whisper of the Heart, their appearance will be Ito Shizuku and Tanaka Seiji. The names of those characters are Tsukishima Shizuku (Girl) and Amasawa Seiji (boy). Ito and Tanaka will be original characters based on the movie characters.

-All questions and confusions in this story you have will be discussed more further in the next chapters, also the prologue.

-Kitsune (is a type of Yokai that) can shapeshift.

-Ito Shizuku is born from a dynasty. She is the Crown Princess of the Ito Dynasty. The twins (her brothers) were disposed from their positions as the crown princes.

-Facts: Shizuku's mother is the Emperess, her father is the Emperor. The emperor is the son of the Empress Dowager (widowed), Shizuku's grandmother. The Grand Empress Dowager  (also widowed) is Shizuku's Great-grandmother, the mother of the Empress Dowager. A crown princess could be the spouse of the crown prince or the heir to the throne, or the first-in-line to be the heir of the throne.

(knew this from The Last Empress, what a good K-drama)

-Shizuku's kanji should be 雫, but it's meaning is literally droplet. Changed it into 穏空, meaning relaxing sky. Seiji's kanji 聖司 should mean sacred and precise over, but we'll use the meaning lawful and just for this fanfic.

REMINDER: This is a fictional drama based on the facts of Japanese folklore and the Constitutional Monarchy of Japan.

Sympathy Kiss review for Nintendo Switch

System: Change Launch date: February 27, 2024 Developer: Thought Manufacturing unit Writer: Thought Manufacturing unit Akari Amasawa is somebody that I’m positive loads of us can relate to: she wakes up within the morning, she goes to work after breakfast, and he or she comes dwelling within the night. Rinse and repeat. Her job is one which might be executed by mainly anybody, and her life is unremarkable. However actually, what else are you able to anticipate? That’s simply life. However even unremarkable circumstances can change, and for Akari, who has been with IT firm Estario Corp. as a designer for nearly a yr, her work life (and, after all, her private life) is instantly turned upside-down when she is recruited as a part of a small staff to avoid wasting one of many firm’s founding apps, which has been shedding momentum as it's pushed out by the competitors. Her new function is unsure, and her new colleagues are strangers. In Sympathy Kiss, a brand new otome title from Thought Manufacturing unit, you’ll be becoming a member of her on her journey to navigate the perilous trenches of labor, romance, and life. The alternatives you’ll make alongside the best way are most likely not what most individuals would do in her scenario, nevertheless it’s definitely a pleasant break from the stressors of on a regular basis life. At the same time as an avid reader of otome visible novels, I typically discover the opening hours could be troublesome to get by means of. Pacing within the frequent route (the occasions shared between all characters earlier than the paths diverge to give attention to people) could be fairly tough, because it tries to each introduce you to the forged sufficient to kind an attachment to them whereas concurrently bombarding you with technical jargon regarding its fantasy setting so that you simply’ll have some body of reference for the occasions to come back. Breaking from that established norm, I discovered Sympathy Kiss to be remarkably refreshing as a result of it has completely none of those pacing points in its opening prologue. As Akari (whose title could be modified for those who so want) you might be an atypical workplace employee thrust into a brand new function that you'll determine the path of for your self, and your colleagues are individuals you could be passingly accustomed to however who're in the end strangers to you. The sport is introduced in a relatable style that's nearly fully true to actual life, and so there isn't any have to bombard you with new phrases to frantically search for within the dictionary each few sentences. This characteristic is used very sparingly, having a meager 62 entries unfold out throughout particular person routes, and are extra a degree of reference for characters, or particular jargon you could not have heard earlier than, however are not at all important to understanding the setting or story. On the contrary, the sport appears as decided to omit the particular particulars of the work the characters do as doable, by no means lingering for too lengthy on them even after they’re truly being mentioned.

With out this have to familiarize your self with an odd new world or be taught an exhaustively convoluted set of latest phrases, you’re free to dive straight in and focus your consideration on the forged. That core forged of affection pursuits is the only real focus of the sport, and though their personalities all fall into some fully anticipated stereotypes, and the dialogue can vary from cliche to downright disturbing when the romance heats up, I discovered all of them to be surprisingly nuanced and possessing hidden depths that I didn’t anticipate them to have based mostly on their first impressions. The cheerful and pleasant Mitsuki Saotome, as an example, is definitely one thing of a closed-off perfectionist, resulting in some very tense exchanges over the course of his route that utterly contradict how he presents himself within the prologue, and he turns into a way more complicated character over the course of his six episode story. In between episodes you’ll get the chance to discover an occasion from their perspective as effectively, which could be fairly enlightening as their view of occasions is usually utterly totally different from Akari’s. This added degree of complexity makes the love pursuits really feel much more alive as characters, and it had me extra invested of their private struggles. It’s all fairly low-stakes drama for probably the most half however unusually compelling regardless of this, or maybe even due to it: the issues the characters have are simple to narrate to and sympathize with, and Sympathy Kiss dives into some emotionally potent matters which might be dealt with with a stunning degree of depth and sensitivity, together with workplace-related stress and nervousness, burnout, and extra sophisticated workplace politics and battle. For those who’ve ever labored in an workplace atmosphere earlier than, numerous what's introduced right here might very effectively mirror your personal experiences at occasions, and I discovered it simple to narrate to Akari specifically as somebody comparatively inexperienced surrounded by individuals who (at the very least at first look) are extra assured and succesful than her. With that mentioned, Akari is sadly fairly underwhelming in the case of her character improvement and development, and though the story unfolds from her perspective and also you get an inside view of her thought course of, she solely ever describes issues, relatively than truly talking within the first particular person. The concept right here is for the participant to place themselves in her sneakers (that is exacerbated even additional by the in-game CGs, which exit of their option to cover her face, and the truth that she doesn’t have a personality portrait) however it could possibly make for some awkward and one-sided conversations because the characters on-screen react to what she has mentioned with out you truly attending to see that dialogue. Given the energy of the writing and the way Akari’s anxieties about her efficiency within the office are sometimes introduced entrance and heart within the narrative, it might have been good to have her as a extra developed and totally realized character.

Sympathy Kiss options branching pathways and a number of endings, and as you would possibly anticipate there are numerous selections so that you can make within the sport, though nearly all of these are extra within the nature of taste textual content that personalize the expertise. With the Emotion Choose system you’ll be given the selection between two emoji to react to one thing in dialog, and your response will typically be famous for future dialogue; for instance, you'll be able to react positively or negatively to a dialogue about siblings to point whether or not you will have a sibling your self. It doesn’t considerably affect the path the story takes, however does add a pleasant private contact to interrupt up the extra scripted dialogue. You’ll additionally often be given a alternative of two minor dialogue selections, each as regular textual content and by way of the RiNG app in your cellphone; Akari has a keenness for utilizing emoji as responses that I discovered to be fairly endearing. The pivotal story moments which come as soon as per episode are extra clearly telegraphed. A vocal observe will normally start to play softly within the background, and also you’ll be introduced with 4 dialogue selections. Two of those will relate to the “Work” ending whereas the opposite two will relate to the “Love” ending, and usually certainly one of every will fill the corresponding meter and produce you nearer to the result you want. Thankfully the sport makes it very simple so that you can manipulate the circumstances to your liking: the “Love Catch” system (which could be disabled for those who’d favor to play by means of blind) will point out with a blue or pink flower which route your alternative pertains to, and checking the Standing choice from the menu will present if that alternative has had an affect or not. This isn't an unusual characteristic in otome titles, nevertheless it’s executed significantly effectively right here and it makes getting the ending that you really want a lot simpler to perform without having to resort to holding a number of save recordsdata at every vital junction. On the absolute most you’ll have to reload thrice to examine the affect of every alternative, though it’s normally pretty apparent which one to decide on for a specific final result. When you’ve accomplished a personality’s route you might be additionally ready to return to any episode in that story from the menu, adjusting each the Work and Love meters to excessive or low, making it very simple to get the opposite endings. The sport additionally has two skip capabilities (one for learn textual content, and one for all textual content) that can assist you particularly pinpoint dialogue you missed, slicing down on time you'd have in any other case spent re-reading issues. This all makes seeing every thing that Sympathy Kiss has to supply a really speedy and nice expertise.

Sadly the important thing story beats don’t change a lot no matter your solutions, which may make the romance parts really feel fairly incongruous for those who’re choosing the Work route. Even for those who choose the entire selections comparable to Work, you’ll nonetheless find yourself going by means of the steamier scenes, and most of the time choosing the Work route will omit smaller particulars of the romance between Akari and the chosen love curiosity because the dialogue takes a much less private tone, which may make it really feel all of the extra jarring if you’re instantly thrown headfirst right into a heated second that doesn’t actually make a lot sense inside that context. With such a transparent distinction between Work and Love, I felt that it might have been extra acceptable to omit these scenes for one thing extra platonic than romantic, to make your selections really feel extra impactful. Though the Work endings don’t really feel just like the customary dangerous endings which might be a staple of the style, they didn’t really feel as satisfying as pursuing the Love endings, and this weakens their general affect. Every route can be just a little shorter than the usual, lasting round three hours apiece and a reasonable studying pace, though I didn’t discover this to be a detriment to the standard of the writing or the narrative pacing. Sympathy Kiss ’ presentation is kind of fashionable, and though among the menu textual content is just a little laborious to learn, being squished right into a small house or in an in any other case illegible font, the in-game textual content is straightforward and cleanly highlighted towards a white background, making simple to learn, though some extra fonts would have been a welcome inclusion. The animated character portraits and static CGs, illustrated by Fujirito (who additionally labored on Lover Faux) are all eye-catching and fantastically introduced, with probably the most outlandish factor about them being the hair colour selections for among the characters. The sport is totally voice-acted in Japanese, with character portraits synced to the voices, and with greater than sufficient totally different facial expressions to match, though only a few totally different poses, which may make proceedings really feel just a little lifeless at occasions. I did discover the odd grammar error sprinkled all through throughout my playthrough, however these have been fortunately few and much between and the localization of the textual content is of an general top quality. The Verdict

The quick route construction and acquainted settings that don’t require you to wade by means of pages and pages of jargon to know what's going on make Sympathy Kiss an excellent place to begin for many who have by no means learn an otome title earlier than, and a very good palette cleanser for followers of the style who need a extra digestible expertise, or only a change of tempo. In a post-pandemic atmosphere the place many people at the moment are completely working from dwelling Sympathy Kiss can really feel nearly nostalgic at occasions, which provides to its allure, and what it lacks in drama it greater than makes up for in emotional depth. The selection between Work and Love might have been made extra significant from extra dialogue – or on the very least, omission of the romance scenes for those who opted for the previous – and it falls prey to some cliche dialogue at occasions, however is nonetheless a strong visible novel that explores some extremely relatable and attention-grabbing themes in a method that many will have the ability to respect.

With Suzune collapsing, the pre-finale of Selection Project begins, as the girls try to keep the audience from learning about the situation along with Sumipanda’s montage of cut scenes, only to have to reveal it in the end since SuzuRena didn’t make it in time

With Suzune still unconcious, it seems like there will have to be an extra broadcast later for Suzune’s wish to sing again to come true

Let’s hope that she has a heart-to-heart with her idol Akari-chan as they meet

And that 9-tie does manage to reach 2 million yells so they can debut~!

[tappdancing]

Its nice seeing all the girls get on with each other (only Mako would be in my class)

The only one sticking true to ‘we’re all rivals’ is Rena...no surprise there ^^;;

Revealing Rena as Akari’s little sister sure does bring back memories of IDOLY PRIDE (there was a lot more drama there though huh)

Now that Suzune and Rena are through to the next round, sparks are flying between the dance and band sub-groups...Let’s see who wins~
