<report>After completing the story and experiencing all the endings. I could definitely say with 100 percent certainty. This Game is great, really great.
The game contain RPG like combat, reminiscence to Hades. Even tho at the start, the combat feel overwhelming. By the end of the game, it feels really good.
The game is amazing not just because of the combat but also because of the well written character. the character makes choices that are not only make sense to us, as the player. But to the character as well.
The villain makes sense. Its not every day that i see VN with a villain with an actually reasonable and understandable goal. And not just some wacky over the top sadistic villain that... Read more »

<report>TL;DR: I did not expect this read to be this good, Noctuary definitely deserves a lot of love, and dare I say to be talked as one of the greats VN’s that came in the last few years.
Main points that I would love to talk about (SPOILER FREE):
- Soundtrack: The most appealing part of VN’s, at least for me, it is the immersion that it can provide while I play/read it, and there is nothing more important than a great soundtrack (and no, I’m not talking about the “Big and Impactful songs”, but the regular “everyday songs”), and dare I say that Noctuary has one of the best OST I’ve ever play, to the point that in various moments I just stopped playing just to enjoy a little bit more (and it is...

<report>It's rather surprising to me that this game is far less popular than the developer's earlier VN ( while I didn't play it, the ratings here tell for themselves). Plus, this one has actual gameplay, which usually means a more broad appeal. This game reminded me of SEABED in a good sort of way, so those who liked one will likely enjoy the other.
Very good: The world building is interesting and refreshing, some characters could've been developed further but this aspect is still decent, plot is the strongest part of the story, and it will surprise you more than once (though I'd say the author sometimes confuses "foreshadowing" with "spoiling", thus making you see some twists way too early...

<report>Reading this, I recall Utawarerumono. I mean it starts with a pretty novel fantasy setting more typical of games than VNs of an all female race of “illuminators” with light powers who come into the fantastical worldwith light sci-fi elements fully grown made from the wishes of plants who fight monsters created by darkness. The (isometric action combat) gameplay is basic but pretty fun which is fine since it’s only around 20% of the game anyway. While the story is formed around the fact that you’re getting into fights a lot, in turn, various gameplay setpieces really enhances the story. In between main story scenes, there’s various optional side scenes you can view, focusing on a particular... Read more »
