New blog. New blog all ending girl in shell
About the new flour the narration now
In the twentieth song first of the chancend,
Which is about daring in the pumor.
Already watch I was located
In the failure, disclosed before me for the first time
Which is a sorrowless tape;
And saw in the circular rally the crowds are dumb
Survived in tears unhurried way,
As in this world, they lead to Litania.
When I gave an eye on them to slide,
Then everyone turned out to be strangely twisted
In the place where the chest is suitable for the face;
Brow to back turn and silent,
He, the stirmers, directed his step
And to see straight was disappeared.
Hello everyone.
Since once I went to blog such a booze, I want to tell you about one visual novel, which was held recently - "Kara No Shoujo" or "Girl in the shell".
This is associated with the fact that hentai came out relatively recently on this game. No, I calmly treat Hentai, but the screening of visual novels often go worse than the original. These are seagulls, and Fate, and Sakura, and much more. And the point is not even that in the overwhelming majority of the novel, there is an opportunity to choose that affects the plot, but in the loss of the atmosphere. Here and Kara No Shoujo, a chic heavy detective, was shielded as a three-sister hentai. It's a shame. Therefore, I will tell you about the game.
Achtung
The text below is written in Psychic during the period of the spring exacerbation. The game contains scenes of cruelty and violence, and not recommended by persons under 18, as well as people suffering from mental disorders.
Also in the story there is a critical number of spoilers and screenshots.
Released: 2008. Studio: Innocent Gray. Translation: "Our version".
So, the game went and gives a short introductory about the time and place of action. 1956, Tokyo. Official cessation of hostilities in Japan - 1952. Do not forget about the occupation by American troops and numerous military bases. Japan's policy has changed beyond recognition, many laws were introduced. In short, losing war, Japan found himself in a quiet ass. More about these events you can read on specialized sites. And although it is mentioned about it only casual, but it is worth knowing about it, for a better understanding of what is happening - they lost, they were occupied, the constitution was overlapping, to act with a loan to the Americans. The number of crowded finally (both former military and civilians) has grown at times, the city still keeps traces of bombing.
But, as I said, about these events are mentioned only by a glimpse. The main character is Tokisak Reidzi, after the army who went to the police, but after the incident with his bride quit and became a private detective. He has a sister who is studying at the Women's Academy. Academy, by the way, was not very lucky.
So, the main character decides to take a little vacation, but not destiny - not only that cruel murders begin to occur, so also the girl named Toko hires a detective to "find true herself." The detective is taken for both things and begins to investigate. For this, he becomes a temporary teacher of the Academy of Both, where it comes that the girls' girls are too quiet and depressed, and the murders continue, the obvious allusion on Jack Ripper, built in my inflamed consciousness, is immediately scattered by the rush. Dante Divine Comedy.
The relationship between all themella characters is very confused, but the detective has a notebook in which he records all materials in the case, as well as a map with murder sites, the relationship of characters and a dossier on them. And believe me, in this notebook you have to rummage constantly, it is still updated, new facts open, and the amount of eval is horrified.
The killer, however, can be found in the third week of March. Yeah, but the name will not say, because you will be killed. And this is my first passage, by the way.
The detective get acquainted with teachers and students, delves in their relationship and is trying to find the perpetrator. And if you do it from the first time - you can be proud. Sometimes there is a thought about the involvement of mysticism, black Madonna, black fabric, shell, sewn inside the girls. But this opinion is mistaken, all the creation of human hands.
Well, the Academy finds out the savory detail, in which too tough policy isolation of the Academy is to blame. Is it related to business or not? And if so, how? And what wants to say the killer, why is the black shell? Answer all questions? Well done. Because it is only the beginning. And how, damn it, can I find "myself"?
Detective is not one in his investigation - the hostess cafe, forensic examination, an old friend who remained in the police, another detective - they are ready to help. And we smoothly go to the gameplay.
As in most visual novel, there is a possibility of choosing a response or actions, but this moment is weakly expressed, besides, the system "extra barrel" is very often encountered, where different response options lead to the same result. Hrenovo? No. The choice of answers is just a tribute to tradition, this choice is completely different. Firstly, this is an inspection of the crime scene on which you can learn a lot of parts or crawls. In this mode, the interface is hidden, giving you the opportunity to fully consider the place. There is no pixelhanting here, everything obeys the old woman logic. Secondly - the choice of evidence. What is really important, will lead to a killer next? Thirdly - the choice of suspects. How to unravel the tangle of relationships, who was just an ordinary person, and who should pay attention to? And, here's the feature, a private detective is not a policeman, so you need to act with the neighbor's paths. For example, you know that the murderer put a record from the "Divine Comedy" and the handwriting clearly female. And whose is? Do you open all the available characters - whose sample handwriting will you take first? And in the fourth - choice of place. The detective is working as a teacher at the Academy, but this cover, and nothing worth walking. So where will he go? In the laboratory for the details of the case? To the Institute of Pathology? Bunet in a cafe, will go to the museum? Everything depends on you.
Therefore, the notebook is so important, with each new detail of the records, the records are becoming the details and clarifications, new murders appear on the map, all evidence is recorded. After each dialogue, I slept a poor notebook, but still - four passes ended with nothing. Well, the victory ... yes what a victory is ...
The plot and his feed is that it is ideal in this game. The detective without any intelligence of mysticism is very difficult and that is why I dislike this genre, too little good samples. The fact is that there is no such frequent in the detectives of crap, as "the character knows more", no. The character knows the same as the reader or more nor less. All evidence and all dossiers are available to you, so the result of the investigation depends only on you and your solutions. Sometimes the story goes to other characters, but in the investigation it does not help. Rather, it is for immersion in what is happening.
But I would have a beard to the knees acted if I did not find how to get it.
First. This is still a Japanese visual novel. Names and names are not remembered, constantly fly out of the head and have to turn to notebook. It is impossible to call it a minus, but still.
Second. Although everything is happening and is a whole story, but it can be divided into two series of crimes. And the second part causes wild headache, because too many actors, the investigation downloads on timelayin and all the details in the head are simply not held. If you do not turn around at the first passage in the middle of March, then here you are accurately tryndets.
Third ... But it is worth talking about it a little later, as this also applies to the narration.
Thus, I put 8.5 out of 10 for a magnificent story. Tough, gloomy and damn tightening.
Talk about the schedule. The engine of the game can give some special effects and, fortunately, the creators are rarely used. The drawing itself is designed in one manner, the characters do not die and look quite natural. The sprites look great, the backs change, sometimes you can see on the same back and the character itself. In general, the screenshots you see, I don't have something to do. Is that from some anatomical details I would abstain.
I can say a little about the sound too. Music does not interfere and perfectly transfers the atmosphere, rare sound effects do not interfere and even work on the atmosphere - I noticed that he bit the lip with the sound of the ax.
Let us turn to the most optional game element - hentai. Its small and he is not really needed. Yes, some moments, such as a fast friendly frithhead with Natsuma for mutual tension removal - okay, normal. But for the most part, he does not help the game, and no excitement causes. Understand me correctly, I calmly treat it, but look at the scene of sex when I recently watched the scene of dismemberment livest. And this is the third minus game. Fortunately, Hentai is not enough.
Well, in general, "Girl in the shell" is a very strong and atmospheric work, with a good pattern and music. The plot clings and want to go through it, because the ending depends only on the player. It is hard for perception, I spent almost a week to play and still remain white spots. I do not recommend this game, it is difficult to recommend it. It is heavy, gloomy, to achieve at least a little light ending is almost impossible. And yet she clings.
Do you find a true girl in the shell?
Platform: PC.
Developer: Innocent Grey.
Publisher: Innocent Gray, Mangagamer
Release date: June 29, 2011 (Online)
Age rating: —
Language: japanese, English
For three long years, she slept sweet sleep, hiding from the outside world inside a huge black egg, the surface of which was covered with strange symbols - "lunar runes". All this time, people with a thrill were waiting for the day when a thin web of cracks appears on the surface of an impenetrable for the human view of the shell, marking her coming to this world. Finally, the long-awaited moment came - as soon as all the lunar runes were translated, the shell crumbled into small pieces, allowing us to finally see the beauty of its true appeal.
The beauty of pain, the beauty of madness, the beauty of hope ...
It must be admitted, the English translation of Kara No Shoujo was not joking. Three years have passed since the initial release of the game in Japan - at the same time, the translation project itself, began in the distant 2009 year, several times fell into a state of deep coma for various reasons. But, despite long-term delays, in the end, everything ended in safely - and in the summer of 2011, Mangagamer (already known to many lovers of Horror on the localization of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni) finally released the official English-language version of the game.
However, we will not get ahead. "What is Kara No Shoujo?" - The reader will ask, who has not worked for news. "Girl in the shell" (this is exactly what the name is translated) is a new game from the Japanese company Innocent Gray - the creators of the cult visual novel "Cartagra". The authors themselves determine the genre of their creation as "Psycho Mystery Adventure" - in other words, visual novel with elements of detective and psychological horror: For the game, we have to be born into the role of a private detective and investigate the chain of mysterious killings.
Like other Innocent Gray projects, Kara No Shoujo is designed for an adult audience - therefore it should be borne in mind that in the process of passing the players will have to repeatedly encounter scenes of cruelty, sex and other shock content. At the same time, KNS is so permeated by the atmosphere of hopelessness and melancholy, that the game is often ranked to the "Utsuga" category - especially gloomy visual novels that can rape the player's brain and drive him into deep depression (such as SAYA NO UTA or SWAN SONG). I hope, after all these warnings about cruelty, sex and raped brain, you did not spoke horrified by the monitor and still read this review? Excellent, because further we go to the most delicious part - describing the plot of the game. By the way about the plot, it should be noted that Kara No Shoujo is a kind of Sixel Cartagra - throughout the game we can meet familiar heroes, and also detect numerous references, easter eggs and interesting plot parallels. Nevertheless, the stories themselves do not have a direct connection among themselves, so the acquaintance with Cartagro is not a prerequisite for understanding the plot of KNS.
So, the events of Kara No Shoujo are unfolded in the post-war Japan in 1956. Our protagonist is Ridzi Tokisaka - a former policeman who left the service after a loud case of a 6-year old ago - a series of brutal murders, the final victim of which was the bride of Raidzi: her exterpant and decapitated body was found crucified on the cross in the waste ditch. The murderer never managed to find, and the motives of the crime remained a mystery ... Since then, a lot of water has flowed. After leaving the police, Raidzi took up the work of a private detective, mainly specializing in the investigations of cruel murders, and in the depths of the soul of Pellee, the hope ever goes to the trail of the killer of his beloved. Often, our hero also helped her friend to the investigator named Wozumi Kiizo - in the investigation of particularly difficult cases. So now Wozumi appeals to us with a request to help unravel one strange Delz, or rather, even two Deltsy immediately. Recently, two dismissed female corpses were found by the police. The first corpse was found in the Inokashir Park - however, the "corpse" is difficult to call it, as they were essentially found only fragmented remains wrapped in black matter: head, two hands, two legs, and ... nothing else. The victim's body was not detected. Another corpse was discovered on Tama's cemetery - the killer cut off his sacrifice left hand, half burned the body into the ground so that only a bent leg was sticking out of the earth, poured gasoline foot and settled her to burn her leg like a torch, illuminating the shrouded Magnoy Cemetery. But this is not all - as it turned out at the autopsy, the killer also wisers the girl abdominal cavity, cutting out the uterus and placing inside the body cracked egg shell painted in black. Hour from the hour is not easier! Why did the criminal need to cut the corpse, drive him in the cemetery, and even wait for the leg, risking at the same time being noticed!? What symbolism and secret destination may carry all these actions? Are there two incidents together, or two corpses are the work of two different people? And can these strange killings have any attitude towards a 6-year-old rate ...? So it begins our investigation.
But just as a request from Wozuima is not limited to. Along the way, the Elderly Man - Tokyo Saeki, Vice-President of the Local Christian School, appeals to Ridezi, the vice-president of the two missing student: Nichizona Yui and Imamura Haruki. And finally, to top it all, our detective also gets a strange request from the girl named Cucic Toko, student at the same school: "I want you to find my true me" - and after this phrase, the girl runs away, leaving us in bewilderment scratching the head. What could mean her words? Can a request for the search for her "true me" to be somehow connected with the disappearance of two other students ..? Or the girl just read Freud?
And this is just the beginning. But the farther in the forest - the more firewood. Does Tokisak manage to prevent further killings, to endure criminals, find the missing schoolgirls and solve the secret of the tragedy of 6 years ago? Or not in moderation, the inquisitive detective will finish his life path in the form of broken pieces of meat? The outcome of this story depends directly from your actions and decisions taken.
And possible outcomes are a total of about a dozen - and if the player does not carefully think through all its actions, it risks stumble upon a sustainable Bad End and not to get to the truth. Accepted the wrong decision and went on a false trace - and some of the characters may die; I did not notice an important evidence - and you can forever miss the opportunity to solve the mystery. At the same time, the game has more fifty moments when we have to choose one or another option - some elections make it possible to get new information or evidence; Other elections affect relationships with characters; And of course, we have to independently put forward various hypotheses and choose the presumptive candidate of the killer. Also, the player is given relative freedom of movement: we ourselves can choose where our detective will go on - for example, in the park, in the hospital, in a cafe, or somewhere else. Again, being at the right time in the right place, we can learn anything useful. Also, the game periodically switches from the standard mode of visual novels into the so-called "Investigation" mode, offering us to explore the crime scene in the classic quest Point & Click interface - and especially attentive detectives will be able to find not only additional evidence, but also hidden from pryachali eye (for example, In the study of one of the premises, you can stumble upon a secret diary of one of the characters of the Cartagra).
It is worth noting that despite the many opportunities to lock the investigation, the receipt of a good ending from the first passage is not at all incredible. If we think over all the plot parts, carefully search the places of crime and do not make nonsense - it is quite possible to unravel the first time (verified on personal experience). And this will help us a notebook, where the main character records all important information. Character profiles, crime details, found evidence - All these important details can be viewed at any time of the game, just look at the notebook to refresh memory. And considering the number of characters that we have to meet, as well as the abundance of various small details (each of which can be the key to the solve) - Notepad will become our indispensable companion throughout the investigation.
By the way about characters, a total of Kara No Shoujo has more than 30 acting persons - a very significant figure for visual novels. Let's get acquainted with some of the main characters:
Yukari Tokisaka - Ridzi's younger sister is calm, judgment and responsible. After her parents died, and brother began to disappear at work for all day later, the girl had to take on all the household. It is fond of drawing and entomology, often spending free time in a local park for collecting snails and grasshoppers. After the disappearance of two students from her school, Yukari decides not to stay aside and asks her brother to help with search.
Wozumi Kiize - An experienced investigator who has ever had a lot in his age - this person will no longer surprise with dismembered corpses, and a huge scar on his head is a silent reminder of those hazards through which he had to go through. Raidzi and Wozumi were familiar in the times of collaboration in the police, and despite the care of Tokisaki from service, they still periodically help each other in investigations.
Natsuma Takashiro - Eccentric female forescapespert, adore only two things: seduction of men and opening fresh corpses. It has so frozen character that even police officers are afraid of her! But despite the numerous oddities, the talents of Natsuma should not be underestimated - she is really a professional in his field, and in addition to forensic examination also owns the skills of dactylocopy, grapheological analysis and other forensic examinations. By the way, her surname sounds familiar ... Where could we hear her earlier?
Toko Cushika - Pupils of the local Christian school. One day, she suddenly deducts the raid in the Inokashir Park and gives him a mysterious request, the meaning of which remains unclear for a detective. Loves to draw, philosophy and wander around the city at night. It believes that the literal meaning of its name is "trees, fading in winter" - very suitable for her. What can it mean?
Toko Mizuhara - Girlfriend Cuciche Toko. The soul does not make in your master and attend school exclusively to be next to her. He likes to read children's fairy tales and draw. He is experiencing a strong complex of inferiority due to the scarce financial situation of his family.
Orihim Tsukishima - A girl from a rich family, since childhood brought up in strict rules. Orihima was accustomed to always preserve a proud look, never exposing her weaknesses and emotions at the bottom - these qualities, along with excellent performance, allowed her to take the honorable place of the head of the school council of the Christian School and become an example for imitation for many students.
Tsuzuriko Yusomiya - Despite the fact that Tsuzuriko is the best friend of Yukari, the characters of these two girls are diametrically opposed - Tsuzurico always cheerful, Beszhabashna and often behaves like a child. She also loves to write detective stories and, despite the young age, was even able to achieve some success on this field - soon the official release of her first book is preparing! And, of course, learning about strange disappearances at school, Tsuzurico simply cannot resist the temptation to participate in unraveling a real detective case.
Kioko Khuzuki- Mistress of a small cafe "Moon World", part-time being an old friend of the main character. In many ways, their fate is similar: Kioko also had to face the loss of a loved one, when her husband died in a car accident. Since then, she plunged into the work with his head, devoting all his time to the Moon World.
Hatsun ammia - The new waitress in the "lunar world" is a shy and clumsy girl, secretly in love with one detective from Weno. There are rumors that before she worked in a certain institution called Yukshiro, many workers who were brutally killed five years ago ...
Stalla- Employee of the Museum of Fine Arts. Usually Stalla does not talk to distracted topics, limited to only one or two words, and quickly forgets the faces and the names of visitors - but it does not prevent her from remembering all the smallest details from the lives of famous artists and give long lectures on the theme of fine arts. And now, thanks to another thematic exhibition, she had the opportunity to tell the museum to visitors about the life of the cult artist Mama Shinzo and his masterpiece called "Girl in the shell".
Like previous games from Innocent Gray, Kara No Shoujo continues the tradition of using the art theme - this time turning to painting and literature. As you already guessed, the picture of the same name plays by no longer a role in history; And attentive player will certainly notice numerous references to the work of such writers as Edogawa Rampo, Ryunca Akutagawa, Brothers Grimm, Dante Aligiery, Kögoku Natsuhiko, and even allusions to a certain horror manga for the authorship of Eji Otsuki. Of course, it was also not without religious subtexts. But the main topic of Kara No Shoujo is liberation, exit from the shell, which people throw themselves from day to day - putting on the masks, trying to become someone else, pursuing the illusion and crushing about what can not be changed ...
To be honest, initially I had some doubts about the plot of KNS - it was connected with the fact that the original screenwriter Cartagra - Ida Kazuhiko - left innocent Gray and tied with a horror genre, giving way to his colleague named Sudzuk Mia. I think it makes no sense to explain what hell's consequences can entail a shift of the screenwriter in the game, where the plot plays a paramount role. But, fortunately, the concerns turned out to be in vain - the new screenwriter perfectly coped with the task assigned to him, creating a deep and really interesting story from which it was difficult to tear off. Like a card a few years ago, "Girl in the shell" again made me plunge into the world created by the authors, reflect on the plot and empathize with the characters, and also presented a lot of unforgettable impressions.
The visual design in the game was performed by a landline Mika - an innocent artist Innocation Gray, and, as usual, deserves all sorts of praise. The designs of all characters are very realistic (without red hair and crazy outfits), but at the same time have a bright pronounced personality. The arts and boards were also performed perfectly - but the general mood is largely different from what we saw at Cartagra: if the cold tones were prevailed, the constant darkness was prevailed, and the lifelessness of the surrounding world was felt, and through the backgrounds literally missed the oppressive atmosphere of loneliness and hopelessness - then Now, with the arrival of spring (the events of KNS come from March to April), all this gave way to brighter paints. Nevertheless, it is not necessary to rejoice early - after all, despite the spring season, we, as before you have to visit the gloomy inhabitants of psychopaths and inspect the semi-pressed corpses.
It is also worth saying a few words about erotic scenes. From the point of view of artistic performance, they are well done, but in terms of plot validity, they leave much to be desired. Unlike the Cartagra, where the overwhelming part of the H-scenes was due to the plot, Kara No Shoujo will not boast of this, unfortunately, can not. Moreover, some H-scenes are inserted so inappropriate that they only cause a bewilderment and the desire to scream them as quickly to quickly return to the plot. However, for the sake of the truth, it should be noted that "mandatory" bed scenes for the entire game (and this is 20-30 hours of gameplay) only two, which is a record-low indicator by eroders. The rest of the ero-content is preferably Raskidan for Bad End'am, or opens only under certain conditions, being essentially a sort of bonus.
Of course, the voice acting also plays an important role, helping to breathe life in the patterns of characters. And, it must be admitted, Innocent Gray very carefully approached the choice of actors for his brainchild: to select actresses for the role of the main characters, a large casting-audition was arranged, which came more than 250 contenders! Many of them - truly Matte Sayia with great experience - for example, Reno Cavashimi's track record (Yukari) already has more than a hundred visual novel, including Taitla such as Kusari Hime, Aoishiro, Sekien No Inganock, Dies Irae, Shikkoku No Sharnoth, Forest and G-Senjou No Maou; Ishino Hikaru (Natsuma) is also not lagging behind his colleague, in addition to many other games, it has already been time to participate in the Voice Cartagra, Yume Miru Kusuri, Ayakashibito and Yosuga No Sora. However, in the process of hearings managed to find new talents: for Sanma Adi (who performed the role of Cucic Toko), Kara No Shoujo became the first big job - but with the task of a young actress with the task of the task as well that subsequently Innocent Grey even invited it to participate in Voice of their next game - Caucasus: Nanatsuki No Nie.
It is noteworthy that in the English-speaking release with voice acting, a serious snag was obtained: because of the legal linings, Mangagamer could not get the rights to the voice acting - and the English localization had to be released in gell. But the fans quickly corrected this annoying misunderstanding, making a pirate patch that adds all the voices to the game from the original Japanese version.
Musical accompaniment, fortunately, no legal linings touched - all the music remained in place, and perfectly emphasizes the atmosphere of the game, mocking the sad sounds of the piano with the gulling Embiente, from which goosebumps run through the body. According to the good tradition, the composer Manyo was engaged in work on the soundtrack, well acquainted to us on the magnificent OST Cartagra. The singer Haruka Shimatsuki also returned, who performed the title song of the game - Ruri No Tori (azure bird). Angelic vocals and light, almost the air sound of the track contrast with a gloomy lyricity telling about the loss and internal void, creating a feeling of irronyality.
So, the review has already been delayed, so let's move on to summarize. Without any doubt, Kara No Shoujo is one of the main English-speaking releases of 2011, both for lovers of horror and detectives and for fans of visual novels and just adventure with an interesting plot. Beautiful art, excellent music, exciting history, live characters, the atmosphere - all this makes the "girl in the shell" one of the most striking representatives of the genre. In turn, the freedom of choice and a wide range of the endings (many of which allow you to see new scenes and get additional plot information) provide a game with good potential for repeated passages. And of course, the abundance of metaphor, alluzia and shortness leaves space for reflection, interpretations and discussions. In every way I recommend paying attention to Kara No Shoujo, this game will not leave anyone indifferent.
KARA NO Shoujo Prologue
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the game itself there is also a small additional scenario. Initially, it was distributed in Japan as the demo version of KNS, but it was not translated into English - which is quite sad, given that the script is essentially a prologue to history and contains many interesting scenes. For example, here we can take a look at the events that have happened a few months before the start of the game, to meet with Yui by our own person, to solve a small business of murder, to fit into the skin of Cyozo Wozui and inspect the scene in the Inokashir Park, where the wound parts of the body were discovered, And also take a look at the world through the eyes of the killer. However, despite the lack of translation, you can read or play the Japanese version yourself, armed with Agth and an auto translator.
Day?. 23:40
Typical, no noticeable day approached its completion. According to the habit for a long time, I spatched the VK news feed. What for? Apparently, in search of any new classes, because Dota and other mob games have long ceased to bring me to be pleasure. Post with pictures. Post with music. Ski-ko-ta. Although posttoye-ka.
Yg: Hmm, interesting.
My attention attracted ...
Yes, it is this news. Some part of my mind, I anticipated the year, and that it is not worth missing such a thing.
Yg: I hope this time my intuition will not let me down.
It was with such thoughts, out loud to download my new hobby for a couple of evenings. I assumed that a couple. Errors happen. Although, if you think, I'm even glad that I was mistaken only in this.
After a few hours of waiting, the novel still booted. I looked forward to the installation file, then to the label and, finally, was able to plunge into the puchins of a very entertaining text. But ... Sudden drowsiness hit my mind. It is strange, because before I could calmly sit down and until the morning sleep without much desire, but, apparently, not this time.
Yg: What, not fate.
With these words, I blurted out on the already unfolded bed and quickly gave my consciousness to long sleep.
It's time to stop building a nickidal writer from yourself and move a little closer to business. Sorry for waiting C:
But the next day, literally starting to read it at 4 o'clock in the morning, I sat down until 11, having gotten up for another cup of hot drink.
Accurately, so I started my acquaintance with the work, called Kara No Shoujo. or Girl in the shell.
Different description of the game, in order to introduce you to the case.
Action of this detective Novella takes place in 1956. A series of brutal murders is collected on Tokyo, the victim of one of which was the bride of the main hero of Novella - detective named Tokisak Reidzi. Six years later, the story is repeated, and Ridzi appears a chance this time to catch the criminal, which is asking for his old one from the police. In addition to this, two more cases have to be investigated with the hero: the serial murder of young female students, in connection with which you will have to work under cover as a teacher of the Catholic Academy, and the search for the true "I" of one of its students who have become your customer.
A few words about the family of the Russian Federation.
So what is the remarkable in this novel? First, our protagonist is immediately striking. No, this is not another schoolboy-Oyash, from which all female characters crazy (although the last, still, ~ indirectly relates to him), and the most real 30-year-old detective named Tokisak Reidzi. It has a very throwing appearance, for the same 50s.
(as it does not like little detective, more on some businessman / prince, but not the essence)
Smart rather (unless, of course, you will not "pull" during the game), depending on the coffee drink and is absolutely not adapted to the household and, in fact, it does not have time for it. But, whether the glory of heavens, or to developers, he has a wonderful younger sister, named Yukari.
Why wonderful, and with a capital letter? Everything is simple - this is the ideal of the younger sister. I am not kidding. Returning with heavy work - Welcomes you "with a return, will you dinner / dinner? / Do you cook coffee?", Cleaning, gets up before you, caressing, caress ... Eh, in general, not a sister, but the most real perfect wife. Now these sisters will not meet. * Dreams * Although, she has one disadvantage, but I will not say what, maybe he will not be so significant for you (who knows).
About Novella itself.
As already shown above, the main genre is still a detective. Consequently, the game will be a significant number of elections, the most minor of which may be able to influence the plot in the future, or even save your skin. There are, of course, and not at all affecting, such as this (if you know What I Mean).
But this is one of the rare exceptions. And yes, sexual scenes here are not so much, personally, in my first, my independent passage did not get any one. I generally thought, maybe I did not download that version, but soon it turned out that I was still lucky, because these very scenes would be, there would be no fit into the picture of what is happening that very and very sad. But something I fell away ...
First, I will pass on the disadvantages, for their very little. Skipping text (fast reading) disappointed me, because it sometimes misses the not read information, or vice versa - does not want to scroll through the text already seen earlier. I also want to highlight a little boring text file at the end of the novel. In principle, on this, everything is in bad parties, it's time to go to good. This novel can please beautifully drawn CG scenes, high-quality sprites, pleasant hearing music, fully voiced characters (besides our main character, which, I think, naturally), with its atmosphere, changed mood (for example, you just were on a crime, Where in the tension, the corpse of the victim was considered, and the very next day they smile from the behavior of any character. This boasts may not have every novel).
Kara No Shoujo. Makes the reader to think and reflect together with our GG, worry about some heroes. It is read at first, easy, but at the end some may seem tedious, for the thick flow of information about the investigation, a bunch of names, half of which I just don't physically keep it in my head to 5 o'clock in the head. The "girl in the shell" tries to cope with this little disadvantage, by introducing such a column with the mark "Record".
There are all personalities that our detective has met, evidence from crime sites, a city map, in general, a lot of useful information for very forgetful players (such as me: P).
Change the topic as well KARA NO SHOUJO is completely translated into Russian. There are, there are small descriptions or places with English, but they did not influence all the perception of this work, because the text itself is written in a very pleasant literary form, but what is there to speak, translators even gave himself to make a note on an incomprehensible simple man in words that quite Pleases.
Now in time passing. My very first trip on this novel lasted about 7 hours, despite the fact that I went on the shortest branch, which was slightly less than half of the full pass. The complete passage took me 5-6 evenings and nights, which is approximately 20-30 hours listed in the game description. He did not heal, so if you do not want to spend the day of your life on some kind of game there, better and do not download, because if you start - you will already be rejected.
In the game you will meet ~ 10 endings, just one of which is true, she will also open access to the gallery, where you can watch CG scenes, listen to musical accompaniment or run at some moments of the game.
I admit honestly - read, even though there was a later time in the yard, I could not quit this work at half the way. After all, every time, choosing one or another answer and getting on a false branch, in which, for example, you still die, the main character tells his killer: "So it was you!" And he instantly kills him. After this, it is so I want to find out who exactly was the killer of intrigue at the height, in general, immerse yourself in the detective channel in full. And the true ending ... Yes, she does not explain a lot, leaves some gaps, but, as in my opinion, this is her feature. This is exactly what the drama gave the drama that we eventually got. Ehh, from this "painting" just that you will grab your heart, so also warmth in the chest will warm up in such a cold night of passage. I'm serious. In my 19, I almost let a sad lonely tear. So drammatically.
Total assessment
Five cups of hot dark coffee out of five.
Well, I think it's time to say goodbye. I would like to know and your feelings from the game that I liked, but what is not. Finally, I will leave the site with the Russian translation of the game (from there you can download it) and wish you successful New Year's Day. See Ya Next So Dramatical Time!
Having played this at first glance a wonderful novel, reaching to the end and having passed the so-called true ending, I came to the conclusion that the authors of this game are very cruel people. Why? I will try to explain. Throughout the game, the player is waiting for a variety of bad endings, and, very scary and bloody, there is absolutely no wing rating 18 or 21, depending on the country. Throughout the game, a player to inspire the terrible killings of the characters of the novel. Once at once, the player will have to look at the death of the characters that faced the characters, and the consequences of these deaths. Like me, playing a man, push to continue the game in spite of all these deaths, will be a few things, namely, the first thing that is a game, and not a book, respectively, here the player is given limited freedom of action, in other similar Novels, it is expressed in that, you can save certain characters, as well as many novels, unites the true ending, where after a series of bad or neutral, the game ends the most favorable way, but or as closest to this. The second thing that does not give to throw the novel, it is its logicality, the plot and most importantly, high-quality living characters. The third thing is the idea of \u200b\u200bNovella, namely, many options for passing and ending. And now what happened in the end. Despite the fact that this is neither a book, no film, where the plot player does not give, in fact, the player, in this case, can have little to affect, the scripts were given only the illusion that you can save all. But, for the whole game you manage to save only two characters, the first is the wife of a friend of the main character, and the second one ... What the scriptwriters with the second person, whom it is possible to save, it is difficult to express something other than the most rude obscene Brani. I am hit so cruelty. But about the second person a little later. The second and third reasons are combined, communicating and seeing living characters, players are tied to them, and the characters die as already mentioned very cruel and bloody. I personally tried at least ten times to save the Tsukishima Orihim, but what would not do, it was completely useless. Girl in any case dies. This can be matured if you can save someone else to save, or in a true ending it was hope to save her, she did not justify himself. What made so many options for passing if the character cannot be saved? But, it's okay, I have come to accept this as an inevitable milestone of the plot, as I think other players. Further everything is repeated, except for one character, all the others are dying low, and the player cannot do absolutely nothing. From the hero in this case, absolutely nothing depends. This is the meaning of this novel, however, about it later. After a long, rows of deaths, we still get to the true ending. The beginning, quite optimistic, the player still succeeds in saving a friend's wife, the main character. This is like a ray of hope, but, the scripts of it further simply trampled. The further the plot moves, the more events remain the same, the characters are still dying, despite the fact that this is the root of a true ending. Further more, in order to pass on it, you need to start a novel with a charming character, Toko Kuchiki, in all other endings, in addition to one, it dies, but about this ending a little later. Regarding the girl, the dialogues are changing, scenes appear, in each of which, it is increasingly revealed as a character, as well as in each of this scene, passing so many endings, expect the appearance of the dialogue that will be the key to salvation. But it does not appear. As a result, in their true ending, the girl still dies. Now, let's go back to the ending in which it does not die, you save it yes, in quality, hardware. No joke, it can be saved, only in one embodiment in which it will exist without hands and legs. Is it not brutally? Further, in their true ending, in one of the options, you can catch the killer Toko, but only in one. In the true version of the ending, the maniac killed this and other girls, goes traveling with her head around the world. And they feed the painting drawn by her, in which the bird flies out of a broken egg. With the idea of \u200b\u200bwhat, she finally gained freedom. The only thing that separates this ending is from several similar, this is what they show as the protagonist becomes uncle. Well, the picture mentioned is already the picture, and mocking the player, give a choice, watch it or not. Now, about the idea of \u200b\u200bNovels, as I understood it, except obvious, realism, naturally. Namely, the work of a detective is such that, he only investigates the crimes unable to save everyone. Given the recommended age to play this novel, I can not understand why you should shove such an idea? People who have reached 21+ and should understand that life is not a fairy tale, but law enforcement agencies are not a gym of supermen. A similar idea in the novel, not only is meaningless, but also very cruel in relation to the players. Because there are many films and books, with very gloomy contents and viewers \\ readers, helpless, playing the role of only third-party observers. Visual novels, in essence, the same interactive books or films \\ games, in which the player has limited control over the situation. In such things, the screenwriters are not only able to show, dozens of hero deaths in case of incorrect actions, but also dozens of saved lives with the right. However, here, the authors swung all over this, having degraded the player, a decent ending. After all the dirt and deaths that the player had to go to achieve the truth ending, they only laughed at the players leaving them from a broken trough and with thoughts about the inevitability and inability to change something. As if in life, this is not enough. P.S. Another point, it comes out detective novel. That is, the player is investigating crimes. In order to open the true ending, you need to go through all the others as good and bad. In the course of passing, the player opens an increasingly clear and complete picture of what is happening. It would seem possible once a detective novel, where in the idea of \u200b\u200bplayer it is necessary to think, to investigate the crime of the ITD. But in fact, all the investigation that depends on the player is to press the pair of buttons and select a pair of suspects and everything for the one who carefully reads the game, such choices do not make up any problems. The player does not need to think about something yourself, everything goes to her! No matter what theories you build up at the beginning, the plot will go to myself. Even when the player passed everything, he knows who the killer who kill, etc. A player has no opportunity to take advantage of his knowledge to promote the investigation faster the storyline. Similar limitations greatly spoils the impression of the game. However, at the same time, I have no complaints about the plot and secrets of the game, everything is done on a very high level. If you are annoyed, cruelty, hopelessness, many deaths for which you can not affect this novel not for you. If you are not worried about the above, then you should play this novel. Because you are waiting for interesting well-prescribed characters, exciting blood moments, many secrets and mysteries, a high-quality plot, in some way a unique atmosphere of post-war Japan, the main character who is not annoying with its stupidity and bulkiness. "Kara No Shoujo" "Girl in the shell" is very high-quality novel, but at the same time very specific, not for everyone.
