True Lover's Knot reviews

Update: an update has improved the user interface, it is now possible to skip the videos, the bugs of the backups seem to be solved. I bought this Visual story at full price because I wanted to encourage the devs and see if they have improved since last days of spring, and the answer is a big no. Let's start with the good points. 1. I do not know how they did it, because TyranoBuilder and all its problems are not solved, but the full screen mode works! There is also the option to see the previous dialogues (backlog). 2. This linear story to videos, which is pretty cool, as well as match-3 games. Now, the bad points. 1. backups are always bogged (o. o). 2. still a mix of photos as scenery and manga style characters. It doesn't stick at all. 3. the characters are supposed to be adults, but their dialogues make teenagers not too mature. Then what are these references to PewDiePie and Facebook??? It has nothing to do with history! 4. the videos, at a small number of 4, often repeat, and it is impossible to jump them. Especially the one showing the boat sailing on a calm sea. I think I saw it five times in all. 5. match-3 games. It is always the same that repeats, I would say a dozen times in all, and their reasons for being? Our heroine works in programming and she has to "repair" all the electronic devices that plant during her crossing at sea! First of all, the server to his work (OK that makes sense), then the tablet of the ship's flight attendant (UH?), then the cell of his friend (really?), the cell of a passenger during the crossing (uh...), still the tablet of the agent (!), still the his friend's cell phone (!!!) and even the electronic system for the boat's engines!!! It's RI-di-CU-Le! The worst part is that we cannot jump them. 6. the story. Note heroine accompanies her friend on a cruise and she can find love. It would be a very interesting scenario, but the dialogues of teenagers, the flat references, the "repairs" to no longer end and its 4 endings (bad end at the very beginning, romance with X, romance with Y, or single) as short as null (they last to barely 10 lines!) spoil the whole thing. 7. its lifespan. I read everything and had all the endings in an hour. For the price I paid, I was expecting a minimum of 5-6 hours of reading. To tell you the truth, I had more fun doing match-3 games than reading the story... I will not ask for reimbursement because I really want to encourage the devs and have the cards + the badge. It must be said that the game is recent, so it will take some time before finding it on sale, but I do not recommend it. I will not buy any other Visual stories from them, unless a big change in their graphic and writing styles.
