Experimentation

This is a very short and sweet indie visual novel which takes an interesting twist. It's not very long and you can just finish the stories in one go. I loved the artwork and the the last two stories seem connected. I do see that the art is not credited and that's because it's made with AI. But I think the writing could be done by the dev.
But i do wish it was longer, but the writing is good and I hope that there are more work from the developer. There are 5 stories in total about certain topics, I thought some had a very good moral in the story, some were very bizarre especially the last one. For a first time visual novel this is really good. The choice of music is also good. I liked the one about the game dev, I think it accurately portrays the issues, stress, feelings that some developers in the gaming industry might feel. I work partially in advertising and totally it's also a stressful job, and it is right about publishing the game but advertising really plays a major part. the second story I think says a lot about money, we live in a money seeking world all the time and you get a card that buys you anything. I remember seeing a simillar thing from the thai drama "Nano". The 4th one is one talks about AI friendship, today i did watch a news clip on how AI is impacting the world, there are some good benefits but we need to use it carefully and not get lost. The last and final story seem to connect all of the stories together in a way, at least some and connects to an other worldly fashion.
Overall, I really like that the VN tackles deeper themes, philosophy and real life stituations and using a fantastical themes to handle real-life issues. Most of the situations are very relatable and we do loose sight of very important things when we get obsessed with only one thing.

The first time I played this I found many negative reviews, but now I see more positive reviews. The truth is that this cheap game is worth playing as long as you're not such a perfectionist since, indeed, there are some mistakes. I liked some sound effects and music, others I didn't. The Art is good in general, at least I liked the images, you could even use them as wallpapers/artworks.
Sometimes the Russian language is mixed with English randomly. The translation is NOT entirely correct, however the stories are understandable. They're short but entertaining. I liked them all except the last one.
It has 4 interesting and different stories.
Stories about parallel worlds, money and power, virtual world + approach with AI and about failure, depression and disappointment (honestly, I'm glad "J" is dead).
I can't say much about the last story where the previous 4 (or elements of them) are mentioned but they're NOT related at all. There are some things that are NOT fully explained and that's why it makes no sense to me. I didn't like it.
In all these short stories there's a cause with its due consequence, so I'd say in a way they leave you with a moral.
85/100

A linear visual novel consisting of five unique stories, each of which immerses the player in a mesmerizing world of mysticism and dark secrets. The game will show us not only the intricate storylines of the main characters, but also the atmosphere of a light psychological horror, making us think about human nature and its deepest fears. Keep in mind that this game is not recommended for those who are depressed or in a severe psychological state. The graphic design of the game supports its eerie and dark atmosphere, so it feels like we are on the border with the otherworld, where each visual element allows you to feel the depth of the emotional conflict of the characters and their inner torment.

For a less than a dollar, you get five short stories that come with a decent payoff.
This visual novel does exactly what it says on the package. Five stories that you advance through by clicking on the text. There are no character pictures unless they are part of the image, therefore the presentation is only through backgrounds and text. You also don't have to make decisions to move the story along. The beginnings and endings are set in stone.
Stories are experienced in order and you can’t choose. The option to replay a selected story becomes available only after you have completed them during normal play. The topic is science fiction, similar to an episode of The Twilight Zone. Every story is different from the one before it, but they all share a common thread.
The game’s UI should be familiar to everyone because it is built with the well-known visual novel engine. All you have to do is change the language to English; the game welcomes you in Russian.
This original language is the cause for some awkwardness in the text. It still manages to tell a story, but there are certain evident parts where you can see the sentence was translated literary. Some were even left untranslated, but that is a rare occurrence.

A great example of AI being used correctly.
Every art, every character and the dialogue between them is generated by a neural network. But it's done well.
The plot is simple but interesting.
Overall, this game can be called cute. I'm not sure I can recommend you to buy and play it, but as a great example of an AI game, it's worth watching once.
If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;)The further - The better♥️

AI art but stories are not that bad. The content is vaguely familiar and reminiscent of old SF short stories popular 40 years ago. Some parts are missing translation. Hard to say if anything here is original work. Still was OK in the end.

🖤📖✨ “Five short stories. No connection at first… but trust me, the deeper you go, the more your brain starts piecing together the unsettling puzzle. This game wraps you in mysticism, drenches you in a gloomy, eerie vibe, and sprinkles in just enough psychological horror to make you question everything—including yourself. It’s dark, it’s deep, and it’s not for the faint-hearted. But if you love that shadowy, mind-bending ride? Oh, you’re gonna love this.” 🕯️🕷️
⭐ 5/5 — Highly recommend if you’re craving some atmospheric storytelling with a side of chills and existential dread. 😏
