One question why is this not a paid VN? I ask this question because this VN was really good to play through.Let's just say that I loved everything about this VN. I love the characters, art, music. BG, and storyline. Quite honestly it's tough to pick out which is my favorite in this VN. If I had to pick out my favorite it would be the very lovely soundtrack which was very good to listen too. I loved the parts where the music would get creepy as ♥♥♥♥ at times. They did a good job with the creepy soundtrack parts:) As others have said this VN is not for the faint of heart. This VN has a lot of dark themes. I don't usually play sad/dark themed visual novel's a lot but man this VN was just that good even for me to play. Oh I also enjoyed the bonus content in this VN. I wish there was more in the bonus content to play through. There is also a mature filter Off/ON which having in means less and off means more. Actually to unlock all images u have to play both mature filter Off/On. 100% play this VN if u don't mind the sad/dark themes of Cupid.
Ok, I finish the game once and really keep me thinking and meditating about a really broad spectrum of philosophical and life things... This VN is catalogue with Adult or mature theme and not because of a childhood thinking of: "oooh this have hentai or sex scenes and fan service" if not because of what is about. The content is deep, and really dark sometimes, and the topics goes from certain humans ideals to sexuality, friendship, Love and self-conciousness, so this is not for everyone that not have at least a basic responsibility of thinking to explore the game and the differents routes. The english is a fancy and elaborated one, so be patience. The game is FREE so take a hint of culture and deep thinking and read it, because the Music is a classic and elite one. PD1: Don't mind my play time because i finish it in my vacations in off-line mode, like a pillow-book jeje PD2: Para aquellos habla hispana que sepan ingles tendran que poner esfuerzo (o traductor a mano xD) para lograr entender bien esta VN, pero se las recomiendo, en serio te deja pensando hacia dentro. (y afuera dependiendo del caso)
I'm really not sure how to describe my feelings about this game. I guess, at the risk of sounding like a paid "critic" from gaming mags of bygone years, I could only accurately describe "CUPID" as...compelling. It's an odd sort of feeling, playing this game. It wasn't comfortable or enjoyable in the least, but the story that unfolded was interesting enough to quell the repulsion. Fortunately I am down with the Romantic movement and all things terrible and sublime, so this unsettling feeling was right up my alley. Seeing that it has multiple endings adds a bit of longevity to an otherwise extremely short game. The question is, am I enough of a jackass to pursue them all at the expense of the poor protagonist? All in all, a great game for those with a fascination for the emotionally grotesque.
Seeing as how its Valentines day, I felt it was an appropriate time to review this game. I have yet to achieve 100% completion on it, having only played through once so far, but I indeed to do so. For a free visual novel its fairly well done. In fact, if suffers from the opposite problem of most freebies, its too long! The story is interesting, dark, and well done, but it really started to drag on after a while. Playing as "Mother" rather than any of the characters directly involved was a particularly nice approach that I haven't seen before. Give it a try, just be prepared for some disturbing scenes.
