About
Love is the one thing that will never hurt anyone.<STORY> This is a story of the distant future.
An immense war left the world broken and torn.
Ashes covered the sky, the land was stripped of vegetation, and water dried up.
As a result, the human population drastically decreased.
The remaining humans huddled together to survive.
During this time, an emotions-capable robot known as a Phiroid woke up in a decayed factory.
Prior to the war, science created these human-like robots capable of feeling emotion.
As new partners for the humans, the Phiroids promised better lives for all of humanity.
However, upon waking, this Phiroid soon realized that its emotions were not functioning.
Its right hand lacked artificial skin and the mechanical parts showed how its production likely went unfinished.
This young male Phiroid had an innate desire to be with humans.
And so it began a journey to obtain its lost emotions, and wandered across this devastated world.
One day, the Phiroid was discovered by a young girl.
Thinking he was a human, she began to look after him.
She brought him to a small, but pleasant town.
While living with the young girl, the Phiroid slowly learned about emotions.

This young boy awoke to find himself in the remains of what seemed to be a factory.
His right hand lacks artificial skin as he had been abandoned mid-production. A glove always covers the exposed machinery.
He wandered the ravaged landscape, following an innate desire to be with another human. Until one day, he was found by a young girl named Shiona.
Shiona gave him the name Rei.
“The Girl who Sings her Feelings” Shiona(CV:Kaori Mizuhashi)
Shiona is the young girl who discovered Rei. She lives in a church located in one of the makeshift towns of this devastated world.
Next to nothing can erase the smile from her face, and she is often found consoling others.
She frequently refers to the feelings and emotions of people in terms of shapes and colors, which can be difficult to understand.
She loves to sing and often performs in the church or the town square.
“The Blue Little Lady from the Library” Tipi(CV:Misaki Kuno)
This young girl lives in the town's library. For some reason, she is often found crying.
In age of digital books, this strange place for storing physical copies still exists.
Shiona calls her the “blue girl”.
Although the townsfolk know about her, few venture anywhere near.<STAFF>Character Design & Original Art : Itaru Hinoue.

Harmonia reviews and comments

Without spoilers it makes no sense to compare this visual novel with planetary, has nothing to do or close, is to look for the hair of the egg, the position of the protagonist and the Girl in history, that there are more than 2 characters, it is a totally different experience.
I do not usually buy visual novels, but I have much appreciation to key, and as a thank you for the launch in English before it comes out in Japanese Q I had to do it, so that from this side of the world know that we also support their work feelings is something important in P Lot, it makes you doubt many things in history constantly. If the characters are angry, you feel them, if they're sad, if they're happy.
The protagonist himself, represents very well his feelings and transmits them to perfection with words.
Someone who is always happy, someone who is always angry, someone who is always sad, you cross with characters who seem to be representations of feelings to perfection the kinetic novel plays with your own feelings also, the reasons Protagonist who make him go forward, as a person who knows nothing about feelings wants everyone to smile because he understands that when they smile, he feels good. And that is based on the novel, in him going from character in character doing small actions but very important for the rest to be happy the drawings of the characters, with small black strokes as if they were drawn with pencil (so similar to the game Valkyrie Chronicles) are perfect for the aesthetics of the visual novel, and have movements and are not static also makes the characters very vivid shades of gray, shadow and light is very important in terms of character designs, Madd I do not like , it's not very detailed compared to the rest. But in general they are well the voices are perfect and the music also, Tipi acts very well I had not heard it in visual novels.
Tipi is a character who speaks, the time, and you start to cry, it breaks your soul and do not know why, and that is also a bit the game that makes this visual novel with you, when Shiona is on screen these happy, these cheerful , when tipi this no, the music, the environment and the characters play with your heart has a wave like kinetic novel, not if Garpaba to have decisions I did not find something to criticize, the story perhaps is the looser comparandola with the rest of the sections that T E offers the game but that is not to speak ill of history, which is consistent and firm always kept me trapped, at no time Flaqueo, does not have many goings and turns to fart, everything is well scripted and armed one has more feelings when faced with feelings D and other people.
CGS are cute though scarce much of history revolves around the analogy of "mending what is broken" that makes people happy and about love, the ability to love.
At half Maso less you start to put some situations unlike, with suspense, you start not understand the characters, there are things that hide you, they do not tell you, that makes the kinetic novel more and more compelling.
The story has a quiet pacing, does not present a fixed path to the truth so do not expect to be finished in a coup, the first chapters are much longer than the rest, and really the end I liked a lot, not for the turns if not for how they closed things really
As a person who speaks the 3 languages, English/Japanese/Spanish, there are some things that are lost in the translation, but listening to the characters is better understood.
It's worth a lot.
