I decided to pick this up after the Taisho x Alice debacle and I am glad I did. Overall, I've completed all of the good endings for the characters and am about to start the bad endings. Here is a short list of pros and cons I came up with as I've gone through the game. Pros: - Beautiful Artwork. - 7 different enjoyable character paths. (I loved every good path but one.) - Good overarching story about being trapped in an RPG. The concept itself may be a little overused but they added some unique elements that made the game interesting. Cons: - The routes feel a little short, but with 7 different paths I feel like this is to be expected. - Some bothersome plot holes - Can be a little repetitive, especially when you first start a new path Personal opinion: *****SPOILERS***** I will try to keep them to a minimum though. -I hated the Poyo Poyo route. It seemed to heavily suggest that the poor MC was being molested in her sleep, and overall just left me feeling like I should wash my hands after going through it. The good ending wraps up well but I just couldn't shake the creepy, gross feel after everything the character does. However, I have to admit he makes for a damn good villain and I really liked the character in that sense. The best written villains truly believe they are in the right, and I think this game does a good job of making you understand where he is coming from. - Demento's route is also abusive and I hated it at first as well. However, I feel like at the end of his good path he begins to redeem himself by acknowledging that he's done wrong and accepting that because of the things he's done he doesn't really have a place in the real world anymore. Then goes on to tell the MC that she belongs in the real world, that he had fun with being with her, and most importantly thanks her. In the after ending, he's still rough around the edges but I think, thanks in part to losing his memories, is changed for the better. In his perspective bit, he admits to being afraid of remembering since he can tell that he was someone who "lived off the misery of others." He wants to become a better person, and then maybe he can face the truth of the things he can't remember. - Between the Poyo Poyo and Demento route what made the difference for me was that Poyo was unwilling to change and it took a "miracle" that had nothing to do with Poyo's personal choices to make a change. Poyo never really shows remorse for the wrongs he's done, or really even shows that he actually cares about the MC's feelings about everything, instead pushes his ideals on her like they were her own and expects that she will see things his way eventually. Demento on the other hand, as the story progresses, acknowledges his wrongs, comes to show that he cares about the MC, and does what he can to send her back to the real world like she wants. He shows a willingness to change even when he himself acknowledges it's too late for his redemption, and that's what set it apart for me. - I <3 nerdy roll play Astrum. He's such a goober.

Kazuha haven’t heard from her brother for a while. With a childhood friend, Hiroya, they decided to go investigate his apartment, hoping to find clues of his whereabouts. In his room, they find a computer screen displaying “Accessing World V.” Deciding to access the game as well, Kazuha and Hiroya found themselves trapped in the video game! As they try to figure out how to escape and where her brother was, they meet other players that help them along the way. Plot: It was simple and sweet. The story was not as fleshed out but I appreciate that they don’t overladen with details. But instead, focused a little more on the couple. The routes were varied enough but can be a bit repetitive since the final goals ended up the same. But you needed to see them all to get the whole story. The guys were such cuties and there was someone for everyone’s taste. Astrum’s was my favorite. Followed by Radius’s. Then Libera’s. There were two interactions you have with the visual novel. One was when you have to answer to the hero to raise his affection. And the second was when you were in battle. There will be a prompt to ask which action you wanted to take. For most part, there was one correct answer that will raise your Almighty skill. If you don’t have enough by the final chapter, it will be an automatic game over. The best part was the routes were easier and quicker to achieve. In the few that I have played, you have to go through the same 4 chapters, for all the characters, before diverging to a specific route. However, in Period Cube, after Quest 2, you are already in a specific route. For each character route, it took about 8 hours+. And then, an additional 1.5-2 hours for the bad ending. Graphics: I love the character designs and also love the fact that the characters sway back and forth, instead being stationary drawings. My only comment would be that their necks must be killing them, having it at that awkward angle all the time. Technical: The language is in Japanese. The voice acting was spot on as always. I will mention that you can change the heroine’s name, but they will still call you Kazuha. The subtitles are in English. The translation was well done but not always exact to the Japanese. I only found a couple of spelling errors. There were no loading times. And you can easily get 100% completion as long you finish all the character’s routes. There weren’t much extras. The only thing that was unique was the “His Perspective” that can be viewed from the hero’s profile. It was nothing more than a quick snippet of the guy’s feelings for Kazuha (usually on a date). It was very short, nothing detailed and kind of left you wanting more. Note: This was a fairly clean game. However, there was descriptive violence of characters being killed. All in all, I was uber addicted the game. I finished it within a week. This is a visual novel. It is pretty much reading, with a few prompts to gain affection points. So, if you are looking for something that is more an adventure/RPG/puzzle based, the game is not meant for you. But for me, I loved it and I’m sad I finished so quickly. I did go back to replay some routes but other than that, I got my money’s worth. Definitely a must for otome fans.

This game features a person the heroine just met watching her sleep, a scene in which a potential love interest mid controls the heroine to not question him and the language the guy uses sounds like what you would hear in a sexual assault/rape scene, a different scene where the heroine is sleeping and someone changes the nightgown she was wearing, and other gross stuff. If you are looking for an otome game to play, buy Code Realize instead.

Period Cube Type: Visual Novel, Romance, Otome Price: $39.99 Rating: Mature I nabbed this game at a small discount from Amazon with a preorder (with prime you get a discount). Completed Routes: Hiroya, Libera, Astrum, Radius, Demento Happy Ending Route Only: Poyo-poyo The play style of this is pretty typical. Your choices impact which characters you meet and your choices impact whether you get a happy ending or a merry bad ending. The artwork is lovely and there are a variety of backgrounds as well. Each romantic interest has a good selection of CG’s to go with them, but you’ll need both happy and merry bad endings to see them all. As far as the story: You really do have to go through and play different routes to have a firm grasp on what all is going on. Some routes give more background from your past than others. But the interconnections of the stories is great. I gotta confess I really enjoyed some of the merry bad endings. Its kinda satisfying seeing a pretty messed up ending once in awhile. I did really like Sound Of Drop Fall into Poison which is a horror visual novel. The merry bad endings made a great contrast to the happy endings. Because things really could have gone very very badly. The happy endings have more content. Also, you can go look under bonus features to see your romantic interest perspectives. It just reading and doesn’t come with CG’s, but you could get a kick out of them. The main lead is okay. She isn’t overly exciting (except in some of the merry bad endings). I can’t really say what the romantic interests would be all that interested in her as a person. The character development for the romantic interests is on point though. Each one has a clear personality and has their own issues going on in the real world (some more sympathetic than others). You have a range of ages, maturity and characteristics. However, they all are pretty boys and if you don’t like bishounen boys this might not do it for you. Overall, since there isn’t a huge range of visual novels out there I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to add this one to your collection (even with the price tag). If you are sensitive to gore this may not be the game for you. It isn’t overly graphic in the gore department or in the sexual side of things. There looks to be a much bigger push to bring otome games into the USA market and things are looking less stark. I’m pretty excited I already have preordered Hakuoki:Kyoto Winds (I’ve played the prevoius iterations on ps3 and on 3ds). And may end up pre-ordering Collar X Malice as well. I have acquired Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth, Norn9: Var Commons, and DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and may end up writing a quick look review on them as well.

This is an okay vn, that I heavily dislike. Some of the characters are likeable, but the canon end just ruins this game for me. I won't say much about it, but it gets really out there... Let me just say this is some deus ex machina plot in the suggested canon. There is also a lot of questionable consistency in this, whether it be character or plot holes or the world itself. To be honest this game kind of mortally offends me, but I am attempting for a fair review. The good things though are that there are very few grammatical errors in the text, and the sprite character art moves and is extremely appealing to look at. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for any of the CG panels. The character you play just looks like a dead fish in almost each one. Overall, this is just an okay vn. If you're going into the game, don't expect too much so you can be pleasantly surprised.

So the neat thing about this game is also the down fall in my option. It has no common route meaning based on your first few choices at the very beginning of the game, you are paired with some random dude and forced to fall in love with them. The two guys i got... I didn't like. They were well written and well developed, but I had no interest in them. If i knew them in real life they would be that annoying friend that shows up to all your parties regardless of inviting them or not. That said I do really like the setting, and i think it works really well for this type of game. I just wish i got to know them before i was forced into making a relationship with them. Even if i got the choice of simply not liking them and following their story maybe that'd be more interesting, but since this is a Otomate the goal is the shag the attractive anime guys without the complexity of actual attraction. I was thinking about it a lot last night as i was working through Libera and kind of wanting to know the ending but also really not liking being stuck with such an annoying romantic option. I'm straight cis male, but i like romantic stories and these are strangely the best ways to get them on the VITA, but haven't been blown away by this ones ways to meet them since I feel i need to use a guide just to make sure i meet everyone, sample them, then play through a route that hopefully ends out good. a lot of work for a person that's not in love with anime tropes enough to not care if the person they matched me with is a over protective coward. I mean I do like the setting, and the support cast... but ... not sure if i'll go through any other routes.

Almost skipped this one, but couldn't resist that fantasy setting and beautiful artwork. Glad I didn't since this game has easily earned a spot in my top 3 for otome games I've played. There are seven romance options and all of them were enjoyable for me (some much more so than others). The one route I didn't enjoy a lot was Demento, but it's the shortest of all the routes and maybe you will feel differently about him than I did. Fair warning: Demento can be pretty abusive (verbally and physically) so if that bothers you maybe skip over his or just skim through the dialogue using a guide for your answers since you have to complete it in order to unlock the seventh route. This VN is sort of unique in that the common route is really short (prologue and one chapter). Your route is chosen at the beginning based on what choices you make in the opening battle so choose carefully since its not obvious to get the route you want. Also, some routes branch off at chapter 2, but this game has a neat "history" feature that let's you start off from anywhere in the game along any branch after you've completed that specific branch once so it's easy to go back and start right from the next route if you want to skip the stuff you've already seen. Also each route has 3 endings based on the affection levels (choosing favorable responses) and your "Almighty" powers (making good decisions in battle). Overall, this was a great game and easily one of my favorites in the otome genre.

The story has some plot-holes but the characters are lovable and the art is very pretty. The voice acting and lovely art makes this a nice addition to my otome /VN collection.
