12 of 12 · most liked firstThis was a chore to read. This is one of the least professional translation jobs by Sekai Project (they were involved with the Kickstarter, despite not being listed as a Publisher here). There are several instances of untranslated text, many instances of debug code ( <center>, <align>) in the text, some voiced lines that don't actually play voices, and typos, missing words or just general wonkyness/confusion otherwise. The biggest slap in the face for PC players, for whatever stupid…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As I write this review, the look on my face is like a little girl trying to make sunny-side up eggs in the microwave only to have them explode in my face and break my spirit. I have been down here reading this long enough to laud an ant as a hero, is what I'm saying. Maybe I can just feed you some malarkey and get out of this. Mm-hmm. Science is progressing at a dizzying pace, so I doubt a little fib like this would be too far-fetched. I shall leave a trail in my wake with this review. The…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this during a sale so it was like... About a dollar or less give or take and it still feels too expensive. The translation was extremely amateurish, with many "(?)" in the lines that gave the script an rather childish air, there are debugs and typos aplenty and in many moments I was asking myself if the original text itself is horrendous or it was the bad translation. There was also a lot of nonsensical meandering, untranslated text (including menus), steam screenshots won't work and I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story is quite simple and the character development is quite good. However,it's lacking mystery atmosphere and the decision of choices seems rushed. Maybe if they could deepen the relationships between the characters and the mystery, it would be a really good VN. Overall OK to me
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Booring story line. Too simple dialogues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Maybe a bit pricy for some people but the story is interesting so far
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →She is Mermaid is a heartfelt and whimsical visual novel developed by COSEN in collaboration with TALESSHOP that combines fantasy, romance, and a nostalgic slice-of-life atmosphere. Set in a quiet seaside town shimmering with the warmth of summer, the story follows Hiroto, a young man who returns to his rural hometown after years away in the city. What begins as a simple homecoming quickly turns into something extraordinary when he discovers that his childhood friend Ion has become a mermaid.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not your Otosan's Ningyo. No eating it and staying alive for 800 years and apparently they do not eat people anymore. The backgrounds were wonderful. The characters were beautifully done. Voice acting was good. The music was not so great. The narrator was definitely on the spectrum. I know the MC's of most VN's are usually dumb and can't read social situations but this narrator takes it to a new level of stupidity with his long drawn out autistic rants. Not sure who this game was made for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →She is Mermaid was a fun little read about a stereotypical science nerd coming face to face with a fantasy mermaid in the form of his childhood friend. While the games characters are heavy with normal stereo types which may feel over done and shallow at first; the novel does a great job at keeping their consistency throughout so that rather than being trope-y esque the characters end up feeling more fleshed out due to how consistent they are with their stereo types, and how they react to events…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't put much time in, but I'm feeling kind of infuriated. The game crashed within the first 5 minutes, the achievements are not even translated, not to mention some of the text within the game itself. The dialogue that is translated is insufferable, and you can't take screenshots or probably use any other Steam functions. Don't settle for this.
