KARAKARA Demo Release

[littleshogun]

Just knew that we already had KARAKARA demo. Right now I'm using tab so I couldn't give much impression about it. Anyway, is anyone else here already trying it and what's your impression. For last word, you may use this thread for KARAKARA discussion thread later.

PS - Looking from HDD size (1GB only), this VN will be short although it's still too early to tell that though.

[exaccuss]

I've only played like 10-15 minutes so far, but i have mixed feelings about the game so far. It's just not grabbing me at the moment. Perhaps after i play the demo more it might.

[Dergonu]

Do you have a link to this demo? From what I can see, it isn't listed on VNDB.

[littleshogun]

Speaking about link, just go to Steam Store here and you could freely download it. Here's the link below, and I'll write my impression about the demo later.

PS - Well to be honest I just learned how to copy and paste on tab, so my earlier post didn't had the link.

Demo is only for steam?  Fucking pain in the ass to install it

I didn't know that Mizusawa Kei was doing the voice acting in this game, I love her so much I could play this vn just for her 
also having both languages at the same time...I cant resist playing it even if it's not my type of novel and the translation looks fine to time.

[Dergonu]

Damn, both languages on the screen at the same time. That's ... interesting. (Have to admit, it is a bit distracting. I can't decide which line I should read )

Is there an option to turn one language on / off in the demo?

[Vorathiel]

Oh my god.

This is horrible. :v But if somebody love 'cute', then should be in heaven.
I like the setting from vndb page though:
 

Quote

"Let us live on this land so arid."

KARAKARA. It is the sound of aridity. It is the sound of dry asphalt and sandy winds. It is the sound of relentless sunshine, as well as the sound of a withering race.

The "Age of Dusk." It is a time of senescence for the human species, during which hybrids known as the "Others"—those who are human, yet not—exist in great numbers. On the windswept barrens of a land without moisture, a small gathering of people make their living in a world they no longer know. 

Then unfortunatelly comes typical boring trope:

Quote

Down a stretch of highway and far from the heart of the town are two such people who run a small diner. To them, the circumstances that reshaped their world is of far less concern than the number of lunch boxes they can load into their delivery vehicle. After all, leaving customers hungry is not good for business, and business keeps them fed. Day after day, they occupy themselves with the endless work of their store. However, the comfortable monotony of their daily lives is turned on its head when they discover a large suitcase by the roadside on their way home from deliveries. Lying on the suitcase, unmoving, is a young girl with pink hair...

Though parched, they keep each other company, and while hollow, they fill each other's voids.

So shall they live on this land so arid.

But even side character have some nice info about her:
 

Quote

A lady belonging to the town's vigilante corps. Teasing the main character is one of her favorite pastimes. She has been taking care of the main character since a long time ago, and continues to act as everyone's older sister. She is also researching the "disaster" that occurred at some point in the past, and continues to investigate the mystery of the vampires that terrorized the world.

So there might be some value to this.

If I remember correctly it was the third button on the top of the screen and then the lowest one from there.

 

Finished the demo btw. It was great.

[Yuuko]

Haters can go die w

Am I the only one who can't find the game on Denpsasoft?
I can find the patch only through a link on VNDB, but even that isn't featured on the site.

Do I need to buy the steam game + patch?   I want a download edition

*Dergonu throws a tantrum*

EDIT: Just checked, it says the R18 download edition is supposed to be out today! Where is mah porn game!

The 18+ version of the game is not ready.

You currently need to buy the game on Steam and then patch it with this from Denpasoft.

Well, I'll wait a few days and see then. Prefer download editions over steam. Also, the "screenshots will be blurred out" and all that sounds like kind of annoying restrictions.

Guess I'll play the trial over and over until the download edition drops

[XReaper]

guess this marks the date where japanese devs started actively pandering towards western weaboos... =/

This answered some questions I had about the Vn. For those who are curious about the length and content and such.

Expand on this, please? What about this could be pandering towards western weebs, and not japanese moelovers?

Just means you can't use the steam screenshot function to upload porn onto the community section for the game.
