The Neverland of the Mountain and Sea

This game is incredible! The world-building is very intriguing and I'm obsessed with that futuristic yet natural (solarpunk?) setting! I found the relaxing plot to be very enjoyable, I love the peaceful and lighthearted vibes that still include some darker undertones. The characters are lovely and funny, I liked their interactions.
Story aside, the production of this game is phenomenal. The graphics are insanely stunning and I adore the visual details and creativity of the architecture, technology, landscapes, etc. The catchy music is awesome too and creates an immersive atmosphere together with other sound effects.
The only downside to me is the short length which made the plot feel rather rushed, there's so much more I want to know about the lore and I'm really eager to find out what happened to everyone. :( I really hope that there will be a sequel eventually that takes place in the same universe (just like the previous games of the devs are connected with each other).
Overall I'm highly impressed by the game's quality and didn't get disappointed by anything besides the length!

I've now finished all of Magenta Factory's games and hope they release more soon!

The fact that it took me, a non-native who reads slowly in Chinese, less than 5 hours to finish the game is indicative of how short it is, which is surprising because it must have taken a lot of work to develop the 3D models, the music and the concept. My guess is that they will in fact release more related content. Hopefully we also get more Shan Gui II.

Anyway, since East 73 the art and music on MF's games have always been a strength. Neverland is in some aspects the prettiest of their games, although there's something to the way the human characters look that isn't to my liking. The music is the best, Gustav Yu outdid himself.

The story and the dialogues, delivered by professional-sounding voice actors, are well-written enough that I felt immersed and wanted to keep going. The emotional scenes work, but a good chunk of the game is just chill, which is part of what I love about MF. Just hanging out at the outside among friends. Lovely. This time, I haven't found the sense of nostalgia, of something lost due to the passage of time but that remains precious, that is present in their other games.

Fanservice only subtracts from my experience of visual novels, and this is MF's game that goes the farthest, including a few of scenes with full female nudity. If this was a random game I picked I think I'd have just dropped it, as I'd assume it is catered to an audience who doesn't place enough of a premium on good storytelling.

I honestly doubt I'll find anything like their games among Chinese visual novels. This has been quite the experience :)

Story was excellent. The lore is really interesting and I was hoping to find out more about the world. Still, good value although short.
