original ideas for a visual novel, even if they are pretty short, this one about 30 minutes or so. There are 3 endings with no narrative changes in the middle as usually, two of them were rather similar with no ending panels (again).\nMota reunites with his 2 good friends, but they conspire to get their revenge as they suspect that he killed their sister or love interest. Being faithful to the brand, the story is not truly resolved regardless of which ending you get, as far as I can tell the main \"mystery\" of the game is not contextually supported with evidence, and is left for the player to speculate on. I noticed this pattern with this developer, he loves going for ambiguous endings, which you know, sometimes leaving the mystery unresolved can be a good thing, or maybe not.\nThe writing was a little better than some of the previous games, not nearly as confusing, you pretty much stuck with these 3 characters so luckily the dev did not go off the rails again. I enjoyed the aesthetic as usually, the first half of the game had some nice motion in the backgrounds and enough panel variety. That said, the second half of the game (the interrogation) takes place on one screen, so it can get a little stale.\nI did notice a bit of nuance in the dialogue that I normally don't see from Vainsane, I liked how one of the characters would do the \"Good cop, Bad cop\" routine on Mota, sometimes faking his sincerity to get the answers from Mota, and then being more direct and forceful. I have speculated that any of the other 2 guys maybe was the killer based on their anger, but honestly it's hard to say, I am not sure there is any evidence for that other than their attitude.\nPros:\n(+) I thought the concept was interesting, 2 friends planning to interrogate and kill their friend, but they don't actually know if he did it\n(+) The first half of the game had some nice background art and movement, not so much the second half\n(+) Writing was a bit better overall than a few previous games, I like that the game left a bit to speculate\nFeedback:\nEndings:\n- 2 of them were too similar, and no ending panels again\nLingers too long on the same panel:\n- even though you kept them in the same place for the narrative (during the confrontation), you still need more art panels for so much text, it's like 10 minutes on same image\nOverall Thoughts: 6.5/10\nThe dev now makes these short $2 VN games with strange ideas, so I kinda adjust to the pricing. I liked the game overall, it's better than a few previous games, but as with most of them, the scope is very limited. There was some depth to the characters and them changing their point of view, with some mystery that was not resolved.\nNiche, obscure and underrated games: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/","html":"

Vainsane always finds some original ideas for a visual novel, even if they are pretty short, this one about 30 minutes or so. There are 3 endings with no narrative changes in the middle as usually, two of them were rather similar with no ending panels (again).

Mota reunites with his 2 good friends, but they conspire to get their revenge as they suspect that he killed their sister or love interest. Being faithful to the brand, the story is not truly resolved regardless of which ending you get, as far as I can tell the main "mystery" of the game is not contextually supported with evidence, and is left for the player to speculate on. I noticed this pattern with this developer, he loves going for ambiguous endings, which you know, sometimes leaving the mystery unresolved can be a good thing, or maybe not.

The writing was a little better than some of the previous games, not nearly as confusing, you pretty much stuck with these 3 characters so luckily the dev did not go off the rails again. I enjoyed the aesthetic as usually, the first half of the game had some nice motion in the backgrounds and enough panel variety. That said, the second half of the game (the interrogation) takes place on one screen, so it can get a little stale.

I did notice a bit of nuance in the dialogue that I normally don't see from Vainsane, I liked how one of the characters would do the "Good cop, Bad cop" routine on Mota, sometimes faking his sincerity to get the answers from Mota, and then being more direct and forceful. I have speculated that any of the other 2 guys maybe was the killer based on their anger, but honestly it's hard to say, I am not sure there is any evidence for that other than their attitude.

Pros:

(+) I thought the concept was interesting, 2 friends planning to interrogate and kill their friend, but they don't actually know if he did it

(+) The first half of the game had some nice background art and movement, not so much the second half

(+) Writing was a bit better overall than a few previous games, I like that the game left a bit to speculate

Feedback:

Endings:

- 2 of them were too similar, and no ending panels again

Lingers too long on the same panel:

- even though you kept them in the same place for the narrative (during the confrontation), you still need more art panels for so much text, it's like 10 minutes on same image

Overall Thoughts: 6.5/10

The dev now makes these short $2 VN games with strange ideas, so I kinda adjust to the pricing. I liked the game overall, it's better than a few previous games, but as with most of them, the scope is very limited. There was some depth to the characters and them changing their point of view, with some mystery that was not resolved.
