Large spoilers ahead, so be warned. - The language came across as overly poetic to the point of being purple prose. For example, we get lines such as "The precious fabric was a rich shade of turquoise which transformed the glaring sun into a thousand stars." There's nothing wrong with clever metaphor, but it should be handled carefully, not swung around willy-nilly like a sledgehammer. - A great example of…

It is a visual novel with choices with 2 endings 1 being a bad ending and the other being a good end. Players are given choices to make in the game and depending on your choices it will change the outcome of the story. The story You play as a thoughtful young soul, bumbling your way through late adolescence; you’ve been through a lot for your age and consequently are a little numb. This is why…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is fine & sad, more endings would be great to get every personal (happy) ending, but 2 need to be enough. The grahpics are unique & good to the rest of the game. Sound is okay. The game length of playing 2 walks is okay, but sure could be more, if you play only 1 walk you better buy this game with 33-50 % discount. For achievement hunters its very good, sure could have a few more, but its really good. For Visual Novel fans with no high needs for a great story/ graphic i give 83 %, for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. - Jacques Yves Cousteau Well... Always The Same Blue Sky... is the first visual novel from NeoNight. It is short, somewhat charming with marvelously beautiful art style and alluring soundtrack, but also with a problematic story pace and plotline revelation. With a bit more elaboration and some more content, it would have been something gorgeous. At the end of the day, it is a short charming VN, with a great deal of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This VN was very short but very enjoyable. The art set itself apart from most other VNs I've played this year. I also liked the soundtrack quite a bit. It sounded fresh and relaxing. Whenever I closed my eyes I could almost see myself at the beach. As I've mentioned, the game is short and you basically get what you pay for (length-wise). It's not much of a downside though as this VN ends at just the right time. It does not drag on. It was a nice experience and I would definitely consider…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great Visual Novel by Crimson Night and published by Flying Interactive, on steam. This Visual Novel was very short but very enjoyable with choices with 2 endings 1 being a bad ending and the other being a good end. Another Visual Novel with easy achievements.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always the Same Blue Sky is a short (30m - 1hr) visual novel with a lovely aesthetic and a nice if simple soundtrack. Well written with interesting characters, it's biggest issue is perhaps that it's a little -too- short. Character relationships progress in between the scenes and it feels like it's missing some of the content that would really pull you into their interactions and give them more weight. It's lovely to see more original English language VNs on Steam, and for three bucks you…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one's an awesome indie visual novel from a small European studio that well, I enjoyed months ago and of course I forgot to review. It's definitely quite short, but on the other side it's well worthy to be played in my opinion. That's why I'm replaying it after many months right now :P And while it's true that often a game with lots of endings is usually lengthier and more developed, with many characters and so on, it's never automatic the connection between many endings and a beautiful…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Consider this a thumbs halfway recommendation. Do look into the game if you're interested, but if the descriptive text above doesn't draw you in, the actual game is unlikely to change that. Terrible sales copy aside, Always The Same Blue Sky does in fact present nicely detailed art and a fitting soundtrack, both of which are used to good effect. It's easy to see the effort put into making things look and sound good, and Crimson Night’s team clearly have a good eye for what works, particularly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Русский язык добавили!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Sun, seawater and stormy nights" Beautiful drawn solid VN. You make your holidays at the Mediterrian Sea and fall in love with a long haired beautiful girl. She fishes you out of the water and loves diving and swimming - obviously she's a mermaid.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, let me get this straight: Always The Same Blue Sky is one of these games you can't decide between good or bad. It is one of these you think Steam should have a neutral button. Unfortunately we still don't have that, but I'll just recommend it because the game weights more in the good parts. If you are interested in Visual Novels, keep going for a more in depth view about the game. No spoilers, rest assured. Story The foundation of a Visual Novel is more than anything, the story. Some…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I felt my heart explode in real life, and she was the last thing i saw 10/10 would play again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Extremely short, but interesting. I do like how the story surprised me a bit. I thought it was just going to be a slice-of-life story, but the ending(s) changed that. I do wish it had been longer and that the choices didn't just lead to two different endings (a good and a bad one). Overall, it was enjoyable but could've been better. The artwork was very pretty. I recommend it as long as you're okay with short VNs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little visual Novel that offers 2 endings as well as 2 hidden achievements one of them including a small childstory Each run takes about 30-45 mintutes, the price of 3€ is totaly okay i think Pro: - Story is quite enjoying - Hiddencontent - Music - Backgroundpictures - Achievements - Cute character - Short - Choosing between Boy and Girl - Name yourself and get to choose whether you are shy or not by telling your name ^-^ Con: - Girl / Boy makes no difference what so ever - Can't find…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To come right out with it, Always the Same Blue Sky is, in fact, a typical visual novel. It's a bit shorter than most, and the different paths are barely any different from one another, but it's not the atypical visual novel that is "a gripping tale with no filler" that it claims to be. A lot of the filler that this game decides to cut out is things that help develop the characters and make the things happen to them affect you in some way. The game covers something like three months of being…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros Small price tag. Several different endings, has replayability. Easy achievements and nice cards. Colorful and fun artwork. A very soothing musical soundtrack that is easy on the ears and fits the theme of the game very well. Features no nudity or foul language. Appropriate for those who prefer a softer VN. Cons Choices seem to matter very little. You are given a lot of choice in the game, but the main love interest (Kira) seems to adore you regardless of what you do. A bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this mainly because of the promise of "breathtaking artwork and an addictive soundtrack", I figured that, as a person who adores VNs, and it being only £1.69 at the moment, I had nothing to lose... ...yeah, I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, the story is okay (although honestly I was more interested by the "hidden" side-story) and the artwork and soundtrack are also okay, but that's it. Just okay. Nothing special, nothing that made me feel like this was different to other VNs I've…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I believe that the user 'Finn Kaenbyou' summarized this VN the best so allow me to borrow a short expert from their [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198024505662/recommended/363410/]review: “Always The Same Blue Sky is wonderful to look at, but absolutely miserable to play. Those hoping for a quick VN fix should look elsewhere. Consider the freeware game Voices From The Sea instead.” Pros + Several language choices + Beautiful watercolor-like art + Possibility to choose your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Why you should buy this: The visuals and music alone are worth the meager asking price. The review: You don't really get to know Kira (the only character besides you) very much during the short 30-45 minute story and the ending, while it seemed rather rushed, was quite emotional for me. You do get a few choices during the story which will ultimately determine whether you get ending 1 or 2, but they don't really change the rest of the story much. All in all, its a good visual novel that maybe…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very short yet lovely VN about love and it's got quite a story twist at the end! Beautiful visual with even more grand music playing in the background. By finishing the game the game will hint on what you still need to do and do better each time. Takes actually 2 full complete and polar oppsite games to get 100% achievement ratio. Since single playthough is 15 minutes, This game will take a total of 30 minutes to finish and 100%. Very enjoyable but a bit too short. A very good VN to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always the same blue sky is a short but different Visual novel. Meet the mysterious Kira and learn about her as you play through the story. Unfortunately, Always The Same Blue Sky is rather short, but that also means that it's fairly easy to complete. Achievements are not hard to get with playing for either of the endings. Problems: Few endings, which is a little disappointing. Very short I couldn't figure out how to initate skipping without going into the menu and pressing it there.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even if I finished this VN and its two endings in only 15 minutes (the rest of the time was for the cards and for a hard to find achievement), I still recommend it because the drawings are beautiful and the story is nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the background artworks are very nice, and there's potential in the story idea. However, I felt that the actual story is too short, with abrupt transitions between scenes. Elaboration of the plot points, as well as addition of more "intermediary" scenes will probably help here. The language also felt too flowery at times. In addition, the endings felt jarring because it's suddenly implied that Kira has killed many people prior to her encounter with the protagonist. Overall, I think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even the "good" ending made me cry. I did not sign up for crying. :( (This was my first foray into the genre, and it was wonderful. If a game can make me feel, then it's a good game, in my opinion.)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You play as a foreign student in some oversea college, where you meet Kira, the blonde, green-eyed chick. The remaining of the game spins around your relationship with her. As usual, no spoilers shall be given. The art is kinda subpar, though you might be into it it if you enjoy 90's shoujo drawing style (e.g. Sailor Moon). The writing is good and has the correct amount of verbosity. The plot is confined to its realm a.k.a. no teenagers saving the world through the power of friendship and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short story that will stay for a long time in hearth and mind. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Switching over to Always the Same Blue Sky.... It's summertime, so what better time to read a short summer themed VN, right? www.twitch.tv/starrybunnie... 🎨soro__
unlabelledView post →Always The Same Blue Sky... is a very good visual novel game with a beautiful story. The graphics are nice and the soundtrack is Chill and relaxing... I highly recommend it. 💗💗💗
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not very good, if you get the wrong ending, nothing makes sense. Also, the backgrounds were sloppy and did not match. It looks like a splattering of free resources.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A pretty short story with 2 separate ending but very little difference due to the few choices you make until the ending part. The game is also stretched out a little bit because the prose used is a bit much, in my opinion. I've read hundreds of novels, and I can't remember any single one of them that used quite so many words to say so little, and most of it was in overly describing things that in reality didn't need quite so much of a description. The art was nice to look at, but with a few…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was not a fan of this game it reminded me a lot of Voices from the Sea which is a free to play game here on steam and a lot better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and sweet VN. Great soundtrack, pretty art, touching story. Writing's a little too flowery, but it doesn't get in the way of the narrative.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall rating: 💛💛💛💛🤍 (good) Story Experience a light romance as a ♂️ or ♀️, with a ♀️ from your new class. Let her show you around the small city, close to the sea. It turns a bit philosophical from time to time. :b The story is very short and doesn’t get much longer with the extra endings. The tempo lays a bit high, but the well structured plot makes up for that. It had a nice twist in it. Gameplay There are multiple choices that have an influence on how much the girl likes you and so,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The art was pretty and the music was nice. The game took me about 15 minutes to finish and didn't seem worth the purchase price. The writing was a bit pretentious and the story ended completely abruptly and was really unexpected. There wasn't enough play time to be able to be invested in any of the characters and it felt very underwhelming overall.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont let the "Very Positive" fool ya, this visual novel is way too short to even become a game. Pros: Its pretty cheap Has a nice background music Good graphic Cons: About 10m gameplay, 15 if u want to get both endings. If u get the good/bad ending, just reverse all the choices and u get the other one. Lacks content, its way to rushed to even have a story. Only like 2 choices affect the outcome of the ending ( less then 20 option of choices to pick in the entire game ) The emotes and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always The Same Blue Sky is a very charming visual novel. My only real complaint is that its pretty short, only about 30 minutes, but when you consider the price, thats fine. And it may just be me but I actually preferred the "Bad" ending over the "Good" ending
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very short - each individual playthrough should take you around 20-30 minutes, depending on how quickly you read. The art isn't bad and the dialogue is decent. It's three bucks, but you'll put a few hours into it if you play both genders and take multiple paths. The music is pretty darn good, it must be said.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game left enough of an impression on me to want to review it. That's not to say it's good or amazing, but to say that I think it's worth the play for what it is. It presents itself very well with charming art and an equally charming soundtrack, the writing isn't going to blow you away but it wont leave you disappointed either. The reason I have difficulty saying this is a good game is that the writing leaves a lot to be desired and in a VN, writing should be your star point above all…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and charming little VN with incredible art, glad I picked it up. I only wish it was a bit longer and deeper characters but considering it's length it was quite enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Presentation and Atmosphere The breathtaking artwork is rich, vibrant, and consistently beautiful and marvelous, creating a serene coastal atmosphere that is easy to admire. The seaside setting complements the reflective tone, resulting in a fairly unique and memorable visual novel experience. Ideal for short, relaxing gaming sessions that can be completed in just 48 minutes, it serves as a relaxing escape that emphasizes atmosphere and reflection over gameplay complexity. Someone who wants to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always The Same Blue Sky...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short story feels a bit disjointed, but it’s still worth the low price. The text boxes perform their purpose, however they should be much larger. The same applies for the typeface, which is difficult to read because it is jammed into little boxes at the bottom. Visual novels are sometimes criticized for having text bubbles that conceal half of the image, but there should be some balance. The images are great. There is only one character to interact with, but you travel through a variety of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is this weeaboo ♥♥♥♥? 0/10- ign
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personally, I enjoyed this visual novel. I bought it despite some of the bad reviews, as it was cheap, and was pleasantly surprised. The writing does lean towards excess, and could do with some editing - for example, a lengthy description of Kira's appearance is not necessary, as we see her sprite and already know about her apple-green eyes. I loved the odd sense of place this game had. It felt somewhat familiar, yet alien. I also liked the way the story emerged as a series of vignettes - again…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute, short story of spending your time with a cute girl by the beach. Who might be a demon or something, I'm still not quite sure. I don't remember if this has a gender option or not for the protagonist, but even so it's pretty good for all types of people.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always the Same Blue Sky is a short game, but this is not a mark against it; it tells its story in a succinct and satisfying way that certainly doesn't drag on. I would recommend this game primarily if you are interested in a visual novel that lets you role-play the main character a bit; there are many opportunities to decide how you want to handle a situation, even if these don't always wind up too differently from one another. Although I put in multiple playthroughs, I believe it would be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well it's hard to vote down but since there is no "neutral" button i tend more to negative then positive... PRO: - Nice Art - Lovely peaceful Soundtrack CON: - Several decisions but effect only two events - Some decisions doesn't make much sense - German translation is full of mistakes - Very Short Story - Not very suprising ending - only two of them - Sometimes Kira looks like an Figure of Paper So lets get some text. Always the same blue sky is a little VN wich plays on an island somewhere…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Review Always The Same Blue Sky... is a beautiful seaside adventure VN. Although the story itself is rather short (less than an hour for both endings), and the fact that it is essentially a dating sim, the gorgeous pastel-like artwork really is something to behold. I really would have hoped for a more fleshed out and prolonged ending, but it's hard to complain since this VN is priced alongside traditionally average/disappointing VN's. I'm definitely biased towards aquatic related/adjacent…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always The Same Blue Sky is a nice VN, but for me it is too short with too few Endings and Possibilities. It is basically just a Story about one Character you meet with either a good or a bad End. Compared to other VNs it seems to be unfinished, which is a bit disappointing. But if you want a quick 100%, really like VNs and found a Bundle or Discount for this Game go and get it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a bad VN I'd say. Short, sweet, to the punch. Think my favourite thing about this is the hidden story about the owl. Anyway, the story is a little vague especially the ending but I think I like it that way. There are 2 achievable endings and the music is quite good. I like leaving it on when I'm in a particularly peaceful mood.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would like to give neutral review... but since there is not option like this, I will go down. (Since "recommending" should be really for expectional things). 2 endings. 70 minutes. + Sexy graphics + Most of them are high quality (some expressions or girl's arts are kind of weird for me) + Good quality music, however, not felt too good in this VN for me + Short and easy achievements - I was confused by story... maybe didn't payed enough attention? Or wasn't well written for me - Didn't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, I really enjoyed this VN. It's quite short but I thought it was sweet. The soundtrack is amazing plus the art is lovely! 8/10.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this game to try something different. I must say it was quite different an interesting story reminded me of being out in greece
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: +absolutely beautiful art and soundtrack +story premise and setting is wonderful +the secret story is worth it alone cons: -pretty short -ending seems a bit left field, especially the bad ending -not much difference between gender choices -a bit of purple prose here and there -no CG archive, some of the art I would just love to look at forever This VN isn't without it's flaws, but I don't care, it hit me and it moved me. Absolutely love it, for the price I felt it's worth it. I had it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoyable, short (took 80 minutes to complete all achievements), branching visual novel. Although it was short, it's inexpensive and the story it tells is really moving. It revolves around the MC who has moved to an island to attend college and his interactions with a girl he meets in class his first day there. The choices you make throughout lead to one of two outcomes at the end. I'll leave it at that to avoid any spoilers. The artwork was beautiful, though at first I thought I was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Woah this game was crazzzyyy short for the price tag. BUT I can tell that alot of effort went into this game. The art is really beautiful and the music is good (I consider purchasing the music pack.) There are really only 2 endings but I do like the story either way. Overall I enjoyed this game but it is too short for the price tag. If it's on sale or in a humble bundle thing, I recommend picking it up for a short VN.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i would say 50/50. it was definitely not bad! the music was good, it was cute, etc. but for me, i guess it was tooo short to really get attatched, or go in too deep. if its on sale, get it.
