量大管饱,花得最值的30多块,玩完一次流程都够我用完所有的存档位了(虽然某些地方略有点拖沓了,但溺爱了),感觉被恋爱剧情淹没了好好吃啊好好吃,群像塑造也不赖 Best 30+ yuan I've ever spent, took me ~7 hours for just one playthrough (although there are parts that are somehow repetitive), and not to mention there are even mini stories after you finish the main game. I feel like I'm drowned in romance and fluff which I absolutely adore. I also love the group atmosphere, their bonds just seem so natural

I cannot count how many times I have played through this game. The story is fun, the art is beautiful, and the characters are so well written. There's an occasional typo, but who doesn't make a few typos when writing SO MUCH TEXT lol

I've actually enjoyed the narrative, with all its turnarounds and twists. The characters were quite charming, and the dlc was awesome, loved the new character.

I've been craving something like The Arcana Game and seen reviews elsewhere that recommend When The Night Comes. Personally, I find When The Night Comes to both satisfy that craving and surpass it. The story itself isn't world shattering, but it is steady and consistent. The world truly feels lived in. The characters, their interactions with another and the playing character are crafted with care, respect and obvious passion. It gives me reason to replay, to want to learn more about the cast. I believe the price is more than fair for the polished quality, even for a single play through. I think my first play through was roughly 13 hours and as of this post, am early into a second play through.

I wasn't prepared for just how much I got into this visual novel. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this, but the story, voice acting, and characters really grabbed me and refused to let go. Jonah Scott and Gideon Emery were a delightful surprise along with some of the tender moments with characters. As with any of these games, it feels like the writers had some of their favorites (which isn't a point against them as it's a common aspect to romance games), but I would recommend this game for those who like supernatural dating sims. Also it's got poly options which more games absolutely need xoxo There are a few flaws with the game but they're pretty small and far between in my opinion. I do wish there was a bit more, but I also understand that small studios only have so much time and resources. The universe they created is vastly interesting and I wish there was opportunity to explore it more (or dive deeper into some of the things that are skirted over quickly). But flaws not enough for me to not love this game <3
