Return to Shironagasu Island is a special kind of visual novel. It might not have the best art or music and the first impression is a bit mixed, but it quickly turns all of that around with good writing and insanely twisted story. For the first 5 hours I had no idea what to even expect, because everything was so vague. "Is it a death game? Or is it a detective novel?". Turns out, it's neither. It starts off as a detective novel, continues as a death game and the latter half of the story is something else entirely. Despite all that, the story stays very simple to follow and that's what makes it very memorable. And yes, Neneko scores 10/10 on autism test.
It's a great indie VN, especially for the price. There are some rough parts, but overall I really enjoyed the story music and characters. If you crave for detective plot and uncovering convoluted mysteries the game won't deliver, but otherwise - good game. Looking forward to play the next game when it releases. Don`t look at the time played, I used the game as Japanese language learning material. If you want to do the same, this is for you: the game has timed sections , so if you're not fast enough you'll have to restart, so save in stressful situations, you can't save after the timer begins. You can't open the log or save during investigation portions of the game.
I've been putting off this game for a while since i'm very bad with horror, but once i saw that they're going to release another game i decided to finish it. So many twists and turns, i kinda got fooled so many times. and then we get to see stuff from Gisele and it was heartbreaking. at 1st i thought we were dealing with a false hydra moment because a certain character was missing. but it was much worse. people trying to be gods or at least imitate the power if a god. I'm not going to go too much into what has happened, play it to witness it yourself. Neneko is my favorite character, she gets some nice development. onto the extra content, beach episode, i just started it and gob bless the artists *chef's kiss*. Ikeda over here with 3 cute & funny girls. I can't wait for their next game, but I'll have to wait for when an english patvh gets added
good the plot is fine... balanced between horror, suspense and lighthearted comedic moments. though some threads werent fully tied up, left not perfectly sealed. (anyone remember ebi??) extra chapter, compared to the relatively consistent and structured main story... i think authors had fun making this chapter. its got fan service that has author's own definitely totally tame fetishes, along with preposterous clichéd Japanese ghost story/paranormal segment. there are even aliens... all in all a nice little bonus(no it was actually so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ long...) finished this one on christmas night. i had fun.
