May 2025
At most, an okay game with some potential (as it seems to be the first episode of its series)? The art style looks quite amateurish, and the story-line jumps around too much, making it feel like some scenes might have been cut due to budget constraints or similar reasons. The BGM is... sometimes it barely matches the plot, while other times it just plays or stops abruptly without any connection to what is actually happening in the story. Honestly, it might be better to just mute the sound... The female lead.... she has such a weak presence that it hardly makes a difference whether she's in the story or not. In fact, if, instead, the third female character were made the protagonist, the story might actually have a stronger sense of purpose and be more coherent. Recommend as it was a gift from my friends, and it offers trading cards and steam achievements... but won't suggest buying without a decent discount.

This is one story I continue to revisit many times because of its ethereal atmosphere and magical world with archetypal characters. It’s around a 7-hour kinetic novel (no choices), so for people who want to sit back and relax to enjoy a new story and see where the characters go, this is perfect. Since this is the developers’ first title, it does contain some convoluted science-fiction towards the end (and feels quite shoe-horned), but for most of the story, the writing is quite simple and easy to understand, and may be clichéd at times with a few awkward moments of dialogue (a dozen or so instances). If you stick through the whole of it, however, the climax gives an enormous emotional payoff. One thing to know before buying is if you would be interested in continuing the story because there is a cliffhanger at the end. This is a complete arc, but if you want a complete story, then you’ll have to get the sequels. If you want to get a taste of their style of storytelling, you can get their other cheaper title-- Mhakna Gramura and Fairy Bell , which is a quick 1-2 hour read with a full story arc and equivalent highs on the climax. If you don't mind the cliffhanger (I have been waiting for the 3rd installment of the fault series for years now), then feel free to buy it if you're the type to enjoy feeling the emotions of the story. Compared to majority of English novels around the same price (or more!) that have questionable execution, AiD, so far, have not dropped their quality in terms of writing a good emotional climax in all of their existing titles as of this review. It’s difficult to find good stories, and this is one where I personally trust the storytelling capabilities of the team and don’t mind if they take their time to get it right. Many stories don’t have a climax, and so far, AiD has not missed in this department.

Fault follows the story of Princess Selphine and her royal guardian, Ritona, starting from the night their kingdom is attacked by a cast of interesting characters. While we don't get too much information about Melano and her friends who caused this ambush in milestone one, we instead learn more of the lore of Selphine and Ritona, uses of sediment and mana, how the polar geographic regions differ from one another, and about a mysterious young girl named Sara/Rune and her family's dark secrets. I haven't played many virtual novels and have only played through this game (part one of the overall story) so far, but this is by far the best VN I've played as far as storytelling keeping me engaged. 7/10

So the fault series is a game that is dear to my heart. While my hours don't reflect it, I've played this game and its sequels on other platforms multiple times. The world of fault is amazingly well set-up with the setting for the entire story being fantastic. Its one of the few unvoiced visual novels I've read to completion with a a great set of soundtracks, characters and overall story being great. The story is really intriguing right from the get-go we're sent straight into the middle of the action, we really get to understand the stakes of the story straight away. Following this, we are set up with a really intriguing premise where I felt just as engaged as the MCs in their setting. There are a number of super badass moments and the characters dynamics with each other and others are really nice to see. It also tugs at your heartstrings alot with its stories making it super well-written. Overall, If you want a story with a strong setting, great characters and a intriguing and emotional story, the fault series is fantastic! I will say the greatest weakness of this series though is the hecking release schedule. There was a 7 year gap between the second and third game. These games also tend to be on the shorter side too where while i dont have the exact amount of time, I was able to complete each of the games in a single day. So waiting for more can be quite stressful but I guess if anything though it shows how enjoyable the series is with how much I can't wait to read and experience more of it.
