I had just finished playing this game and did all the routes, originally I came here because I *LOVED* both Amos' and Klaus' designs but grew to love all of them individually. If I had to pick a favourite, it'd either be between Amos or Mac, I know for a fact I'm definitely going to return back to this game every now and then :)
This is actually my first time leaving a comment on itch.io, and I just had to say something about Rewritten! I was completely hooked from the start. I loved the art and the characters. I started with Kluse's route, then Amos's, and I was truly surprised by the character development and their interactions with the MC. I loved seeing how their relationships developed in each route. I played through them all, and it was such a fun experience. I think this game is seriously underrated and deserves way more recognition. (English isn't my first language, so please bear with me if my sentences are a little off)
This game is so unbelievably underrated UGHGH. I loved all the characters and how they are written so much! The art style is so cozy, so eatable and the fact that every book has its own unique style of art is so cool!!! I was expecting to love Nightshade the most but Rosamel stole my heart I keep looking at his stupid faceAAAA- You guys are awesome i am excited for future projects!♡
feels both and/or like found family, the description didn't lie, the game was crazy cozy heartwarming akin to a nice soup served in best balanced warmth (made with love that you can feel <3) the alternative versions of music based on the character you interact with too are nice, makes them more alive and with each of their background in the books to flesh them out? endearing, real feels and (dare i mention, caused me to shed tears the most in Nightshade's route surprisingly?) all of them turned to be more, what were once just neutral and from like-to-loveable. It was in this one rare of a gem where the characters are all... I really adored them, including the mc yes... (bless the aunt for granting a true happy ending with everyone). Worth to try and replay!
We didn’t want to give any of them concrete ages since they’re book characters and all, but we consider Nightshade, Klaus and Rosamel to be somewhere around their mid twenties, while Amos is more in his thirties and Mac is the oldest, in his forties. You’re free to put them at any age you like, though!
Klaus my beloved <3
Okay detailed review time:
1. Art style: I love the art style, it's so charming and it gives the game such a cozy feeling to it. The backgrounds were cute, and I loved the CGs! Each of the characters had such a specific style unique to them that I got an immediate understanding of their character.
2. Music: I noticed that depending on who you were with, the style of the music would shift. With Nightshade, the music had a sci-fi feel, and with Rosamel the music would have a light hearted tone. This was a really cool touch and I thought it was really neat, though the start up of the game's interface didn't seem to have any music so I had worried at first that I had the game on mute. So that's my suggestion when it came to music.
3. Story: I love all of them and after doing all their routes, I can safely say I have my favourites (Klaus, Mac, Amos, top three hands down because they suit my tastes a lot) but all of the characters had their merits and tackled their flaws in ways that felt satisfying. Even if they aren't my 'type' I still enjoyed their story a lot! Each of their stories were unique while matching their specific genre.
Conclusion:
This game is cozy on cozy. Turn off your brain and fill it with fluff. If you want to giggle like a schoolgirl, this is the one for you. Each of the romance options had a bright personality that felt unique and three dimensional. The moments they all have together particularly made me smile because it really made them feel lively. One thing I did note though is that when you finish a run, and the screen turns black, it kicks you back to the main menu. This can feel pretty jarring, so making it fade after ending would make it feel less abrupt when it ends. Each of the characters personalities are obvious straight from the bat with each of their genre's reflecting this.
4/5 stars, I had fun playing this! Klaus, please marry me.
When I first started, I already had favorites. Which was all of the characters! I loved each and every backstory. Reading the story pages felt like I was reading a part of an actual book. I'll be re-running this game a lot more in the future! A 10/10 game in my books! Pun was intended! Though I did have a fondness for Amos, not to mention the other characters, they did catch my eye. I did the test and it said Mac, but I was surprised at my likeness towards Amos. He enjoys puzzles, sometimes being childish and silly, and is still smart enough to pick up on clues, even if it's in a silly film. When I read his detective stories I even put on like film noir background music to get in the zone. Despite my fondness for Amos I enjoyed every character. They are all likeable in their own way. I found each one to bring their own level of sweetness and it was adorable. I hope to see more games in the future! (that is if you are planning on making more)
HI ITS IAN (i took your test twice cause i wanted Klaus)
I just finished playing through it and OH MY GOD. I should never have judged any of them by their looks and the little description you gave. My favorite is probably Rosamel (surprise, not Klaus). Spoilers for his arc below.
Genuinely felt butterflies when he asked for MC to take the cherry. AND GIVING HIM THE ROSE??? THE WAY HE LOOKED SO TAKEN ABACK???? MY HEART.
I can honestly kind of relate to him, falling in "love" so fast only for it to crumble and learn that it was never love in the first place. The little piggy part made me giggle a bit. He was so cute.
SKJFAKJFAFHAFHAKLFACAQJLADLA FREAKING 11/10 WOULD PLAY AGAIN AND FEEL LONELIER THAN EVER AFTER THIS
WHAT THE HECK??? IM ABSOLUTELY SMITTEN.mildspoilers below!!!!
.
for me, Amos was the most perfect and beautiful man that my heart instantly skipped a beat as soon as i saw him appear. and all the dorky moments with him????? had me giggling and blushing all to myself (and then being depressed later when i realized that i wont ever meet someone like him ಥ﹏ಥ ) HAVE YOU SEEN HIS SMILE???? WTH. JUST LOOK AT HIM.
Rosamel's route caught me off-guard ngl. the way he turned so genuine and was at a loss for words when he got a rose, im- ugh- he made me stay still on his CG for a couple more minutes than i originally intended to (his lines??? im sorry??? they're literally so beautiful????)
The others were sweet in their own charming way, but Nightshade won me over (maybe at the top alongside with Amos???) i loved the guy's confession when he blurts all his frustration out and then slowly realizes with horror xD he's such a nerd and im all for it
Aside from the sweet fluffy moments, the dialogue had me giggling and snickering at the banter the guys started everytime. everyone has such a good chemistry with one another it always makes it so delightful to read their interactions. (love how nightshade tries to tolerate the gang xD)
guys... ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ when... when is your next work coming out... i need... more... amos...
blegh-*faints*
