Phantom

To be honest I was exactly the same as you, just came back like a month ago. Welcome back!

I use steam because it's where I store all of my games and easily accessible anywhere.

It graphically looks like Zelda Breath of the Wild (Which is a good thing! ). I may have to check this one out when it gets released in English.

Just about to start playing Sanoba Witch again after finishing Meguru's route and taking a break, I'ma go with Touko next. I hope it is interesting as she had some pretty funny moments.

Sounds like missing sound file (pun intended! ), maybe redownload / install?

Thank you very much to each and everyone of you that took the time to read and respond to my discussion (Over 1,000 people!). It's nice to have some people to relate to that plays visual novels because I don't really have anyone like that at the moment who I could talk to about it and I just had to get my feelings out there. I already said it but happy new year; I'll be on the forum regularly and will be posting again on topics or creating new ones, I'll cya soon!

Don't tell me it's on the level of School Days love triangles? Also slightly off topic but is the first White Album any good? It never got a translation but I found myself wondering why the second did but not the first.

Happy New Year everyone!

Has anyone played White Album 2? I'm interested in it, is it worth the pick up?

I actually liked Runa the best; I heard that Yukino's route is pretty bad so I never played it however I will be replaying the game at some point so I'll see for myself!

What routes in order did you like from least to worse from Hatsukoi? Also I'm curious about how comes you think the game was lackluster. I haven't played Maya's or Yukino's routes yet, I disliked some of the parts in Midori's, Kyou's and Runa's route... What do you think?

I do find it interesting that in most visual novels that involve sex scenes tends to have the 'keep in or pull out' option but there aren't any outcomes from it. I think they do it like this because each route (normally) ends up with the characters loving each other forever onward and staying together until the end.

I wanted to ask everyone what they felt were traits that get you either invested (no serious personal feelings) or emotionally attached (had a real effect to your life, emotion overload like sadness, joy, love, friendship, longing etc) for a character (whoever that may be to you, boy, girl etc)? Like I already wrote in the main topic I am emotionally romantically attached to Meguru because not only are her traits are the same as mine, she is the kind of person that I've been wanting to meet for a long time in my real life; someone that'd would be with me through anything and we'll always have our special time together may it be having fun playing, talking, messing around, going out or just being together. She is also adorable to me and a real looker for me . Obviously she isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea which is perfectly fine but for me she is like my dream girl to find and I'd be really lucky to find someone like her in my life. Having that relatability I think is a key reason and because of this it is likely why I've loved this story the most out of any other visual novel experience. What do you guys find to be the traits of a character that gets you invested or attached into them? Lemme know your thoughts!

Sorry I even forgot to mention this but can I just say she has the best soundtrack in the visual novel by far and one of the best I've ever heard from visual novels in general? It just screams adorable, fun, friend and lovey dovey! I may be a little biased about it but...

Personally, I didn't mind the way she spoke at all. It gives a kind of special charm to her. I could tell that she was speaking in third person in the voice lines at times but the text didn't show this but it was never a problem for me. It's adorable, just like her!
