At $0.49 cents on sale, I'd say Pastry Lovers was a total steal. While I think the current price of $4.99 is reasonable, I probably would not have bought it in the first place had it not been so cheap. For reference, the biggest issues are the English translation errors. It's not so horrible that it becomes impossible to decipher, but the wording and flow of the sentences are, at most times, pretty awkward and rough. It did cause me to take the game less seriously overall, though most of the time it was harmless and easy to overlook. There is no voice acting, which comes as somewhat of a disappointment due to a large part of the enjoyability factor of otomes coming from the characters' voices - for me at least. But it wasn't too much of a problem since the background music fit pretty well with the mood of the scene, and there were some sound effects. The only other complaint that I have is that the art was very mismatched. The backgrounds were all very beautiful, and while all of the character art was fine, it looked like it was done by different people. It was quite odd and even off-setting to see how multiple characters could vary wildly in art style from each other. Plus, the CG's left much to be desired. Nothing game-changing, however. The story itself was fairly interesting. I'm not a chef nor a cooking enthusiast myself, but I was intrigued by some of the designs of and information about certain pastries. However, if you're like me, you will find that it becomes rather drab and uninteresting (especially during the later half of the game) when they start going on and on about cooking techniques, ingredients, history of pastries, etc... As for the routes, nothing special to be honest. None of the boys stood out in my mind as particularly interesting or memorable. If anything, Christopher DM would have to be my favorite. I do wish Lina could have been a route, since it almost seems as if she was meant to be, but, nevertheless, it was an efficient time-killer. While I do not give this game an enthusiastic reccomendation, I could not find any reason to give it a thumbs-down. It really was a nice, cute little game with a lot of perks to it. I got a good 12 hours out of it, fully completed. If you like slice-of-life stat raising games about making pastries, coupled with a fairly intriguing background plot, then this game is for you.
♥ Cute and engaging storyline. Though it's a bit ironic for a person with massive food allergies (no chiffon cake for me!) to play a game centered around everything I can't have, I couldn't help but love it. The storyline is pleasing, a bit of mystery thrown in, and just enough side events to keep it interesting without taking away from the main story. There is more dialogue than in other games, and the highlight of choices revolve around creating pastries, teas, etc. There seems to be an even split between baking and romance. And yes, you will be quizzed on food. Harshly. I'm lucky that the in-game overlay works (thank you google, lol) and I had a culinary friend to help me. If you're looking for a pure romance game, I wouldn't suggest getting this - you need to be interested in baking, if not love it. ♥ Beautiful details. Despite the problems with translations, it's clear that love was put into the other details. The graphics are beautiful, the pastries look positively d e l i c i o u s, and the music is charming. I usually (if not always) play games on mute, leaving music/movies on in the background. Pastry Lovers is the first game in over a year I can remember /willingly/ leaving unmuted. Wonderful level of detail. ♥ Lots of playtime! I bought the game for 49cents (USD) and spent more than seven hours playing. I earned all the achievements, though I still have 2 endings to explore with the 5 characters offered, along with further in-game achievements to earn. I was pleased about the gameplay offered, especially as the story continues after you've chosen your internship -/- your lover's route. That was a nice change from other otome games that end once you've chosen your lover. I was grateful for the expanded storylines, and the various cutscenes/"secret" things to be unlocked. I would have paid full price. Pastry Lovers is worth it! ✘ Wonky translations. I know that otome games can be a mixed bag when it comes to translations. Some are seemingly translated by Google translate, others more care is put into. While Pastry Lovers has amusing translations and can be fairly well understood, there should have been more quality control. I'm sure that plenty of people would have offered free translation help, in exchange for a copy of the game, a credit, etc. so it wasn't a situation of not being able to find help. I would rather wait longer for a game to be released and have superior quality than a quicker release -/- development shortcuts taken. ✘ Blatant sexism. No, I'm not a cis-scum hating, tumblr loving person. I'm a normal, eighteen year old girl, who loves the romance genre more than she probably should. I'm used to the norm of female main characters, whether in books or games, that lack self-confidence and persue a fast, unhealthy relationship w/their love interest/s. While this game offered more relationship development than expected, there were obvious, even blatant moments of sexism from working as a call girl (forgive me...hostess :') to the fan-service provided in the hot springs. The males offered the usual responses of wanting to protect Sakura, have her help them with /their/ dreams (except w/William's path and the teacher). All of these things are seemingly the standard for otome games, and the romance genre as a whole. While it didn't take away my enjoyment of the game (hello guilty pleasures!) it is a standard that should begin to evolve. ✘ No % progress in the internship path. Once you choose your internship path, a few of the paths will require you to gain certain %'s in different categories to progress. While the menu provides a list of the %'s needed to advance, there is nothing that keeps track of your progress, beyond the chat screen that appears after you make choices. So while it shows you your progress after making choices, there's no log/record you can see of your % progress, before making choices. This can turn into a real pain, especially if you follow the pastry shop internship later on. note: I played this on another acc thru family share -/- low playtime recorded on this one
This otome visual novel by Chengguang Youxi（橙光游戏）, Shi Xiaonan（石小楠）and Forever Entertainment S.A. feature an orphan girl Sakura Asakusa who was raised and brought up at a monastery in a remote island on the western part of the Carseland Kingdom. Amidst the backdrop of pastry making and pastries being exclusive only among nobles and high officials within the kingdom, the emergence of St. Patras College as an academy to teach pastry making to all who enrol at the college regardless of social status with full scholarships being awarded to promising applicants and students who score S in their examinations, a mysterious notebook which details numerous pastry making recipes that was found with Sakura at the monastery and the support and encouragement by Sakura's close friends, neighbours and a visitor at West Island made Sakura decide to pursue her ambition to enrol at St. Patras College. Over the course of this visual novel, Sakura will build up her attributes, learn and discover up to 8 new pastry recipes, obtain up to 4 pets and 10 treasures to help her, gain favourability with 4 main characters and 13 supporting characters, discover 5 clues about Sakura's origins, gain admission into St. Patras College and pass two semester exams and progress along a main character route where she can go on an overseas study trip to East Island with Christopher DM or Henin, intern at a declining pastry shop and turn things around with Henry Yin, intern at the palace as a pastry chef with William and discover more about her past and possibly get reunited with her long-lost father or start her own society(business) with Haonan Ye and have her brush with criminals with good and bad endings in each character route and obtain up to 13 optional in-game achievements. The story and plot is written as a romance visual novel with a share of comedy, tragedy, mystery, drama and thriller. There are dating simulator and stat management mechanics with conditions for progressing further into the story clearly listed out in the tasks section of the menu. The visual novel also has plenty of general knowledge on numerous pastries, desserts, beverages and Eastern mythology references. Background music, artworks and CGs are great with pleasant background music to match the main characters and settings in the game and nice chibi artwork on Sakura's pets and main characters. Highly recommended for those who like a medium-length(Between 10-30 hours) visual novel with stat management and dating simulator mechanics and random facts on a large variety of pastries, desserts, beverages and Eastern culture and mythology. The game is also sometimes at discount with up to 90% off coupons being available from badge crafting, trading section of the game's discussion forums and from coupon gifting Steam groups(eg. Coupon Dumpster) at the time of this review.
I'm enjoying the gameplay, but the writing is terrible. I would happily help the developers with the writing FOR FREE. This game would be SO much more enjoyable without the horrible grammar; it's so jarring and distracting. Developers, PM me - I will help you guys at no cost.
Pastry Lovers is a short and replayable otome that is stress-free. There is stat-raising, but it's not too difficult to work out over. Depending on your choices in game, you can raise a stat or stats 3-5 times in one day. Pros: -Casual and relaxing -Cute Art -Simple and not dark or heart-breaking as ~some~ otomes -Relaxing soundtrack -Cheap -Trading Cards Cons: -Proofreading errors (in my opinion, it makes the game funnier to play. for ex: there is a female headmistress being introduced to and the guy who talks to her calls her Mister) The errors do not deter the sense of meaning or understanding of the game and you can still tell what is going on. -Only 800x600 windowed mode is available if you like multi-tasking -Not very clear tutorials for some parts
