Is The Sekimeiya: Spun Glass Worth It?

8:58 xDD tbh I'm not really into novel games but the story of this game really got my interest : ) I think these kind of games needs a specific mood to enjoy them great review Lytane 😃

If you value game time, don't start a family! Word to the wise hahahaha They do need a certain mood, just like any book does. Instead of playing it, perhaps watch a playthrough, that way you still get the story without having to read it all yourself, you can have it on in the background like an Audio book. It does mean answering the questions might be harder but at least you'll get the story!

Great review! I do want to mention regarding the text taking up the whole screen- that's actually not abnormal for a Visual Novel. In actuality, VNs that don't do that tend to be ADV games- stuff like Steins;Gate & Zero Escape. Sekimeiya is more along the lines of regular Visual Novels, like the Fate series

[@Lytane]

I have played quite a few visual novels now and they do use a full screen text thing occasionally but the majority of it is in the lower third and that does include Steins;Gate and the Zero Escape series. But other novels i've read are similar with the majority being lower thirds. Now I haven't read the Fate series, it is on my to read list but who knows how long THAT will take lol, so I can't say anything. I think Seki could have used more lower third with character sprites for emotion in the game. Still, what did you think of Sekimeiya?

@@Lytane I really enjoyed it! I don't disagree that the text can be a little in the way, but I also don't really find it that intrusive. I hope more people play the game and can decide for themselves

Answer: Yes. Done.

[@Lytane]

So how many questions did you get right at the end??

@@Lytane All I can say is: Oh boy! I think about 55% or so, those questions were crazy brutal.
