I like the amount of choices in this game. Pretty cool and different story. I also like the music.. Felt like a cast member on the OC\u2026 or a white Tyler Perry movie, your choice.
Would be a white Tyler Perry cast member again.. Do i love it.. not really. But it demonstrates the regrets you have when you make a choice to take one path in life instead of another. Can you redeem yourself? I found in this game you aren't automatically pigeon holed into a story direction, which was not what i was expecting. There are some common options and settings which were missing, which is fine. There is however no auto read function which makes getting all the endings a bit tiresome. Well.. can Love in the Glen redeem itself.. I would say what it loses in in its artwork it makes up for with earnest storylines.. Only a handful of visual novels have made me cry before: Clannad & Planetarian. Now I must add this game to the list. At the beginning it seems very lighthearted but depending on your choices you can end up with a very serious story. This is what happened to me and at the end I felt kinda heavy at the end. I know for some that may be a bad thing for some but it\u2019s what I look for in a VN, an emotional response. I liked it; I may try to go for one of the different endings in the near future if I have time.. This is an interesting game. The backgrounds are beautiful, there are cutscenes which show real locations (or close enough), and the plot is... different. The main difference is that the protagonist is a woman who may have fallen out of love with her husband, and gets a divorce (I think two of the endings does not involve that plot point).
There are seven endings in total, so find your own way through love, work, and everything else!
There is a Match-3 element, but it is rather simple (and does not have the limiting factor in True Lover's Knot, which I believe is another VN created by this company).. This game was so disappointingly bad that I had to write a review about it. I was really hoping it would surprise me, but it really didn't. It just bored me. This isn't "fun bad" or "so bad its good." This is just bad.
- All of the dialouge in this game is mundane and boring. Would you like to hear small talk for around an hour? No? Well that's what you'll get from this game, so buckle up!
- Every character is either written poorly or do things that make no sense. Characters either bore you to death, talk about one subject and only one subject, and\/or have no unique voice. The fact that your assistant tells you all about his dating preferences and how he likes "cougars" even if<\/i> you don't follow his route is both stupid and highly inappropriate. If you don't follow his route, that comment just comes out of nowhere. Also, the fact you get a divorce from your husband just because he gets a job opportunity in Norway is just silly. It also makes, like, 90% of the dialouge at the beginning of the game super boring because all anyone talks about is the divorce.<\/span><\/span>
- It feels like characters have bad things happen to them out of nowhere. I'm not sure why Michael has to die if you lead him on. It adds nothing to the story and comes straight out of left field. I just don't get it. <\/span><\/span>
- The mini-game is pointless and lazy. There are no instructions. There is no fail-state. The game is pretty minimally animated, and there's a jarring transition going into and out of the game. I love a good match-3, and I love when VNs have some actual gameplay mechanics, but this changes nothing. There's no point in it being in the game.
Honestly, this is not a good game. Just don't waste your time with it. Seriously.. This was a very surprising VN. \u201cLove in the Glen\u201d is about an interior designer called \u201cZoe Richardson\u201d, who the player controls. Like most visual novels, you go through the story making choices and decisions for her and then watch her destiny unfold in front of your very eyes. In that sense there is nothing new and it\u2019s what you\u2019d expect from a Visual Novel. Not that that\u2019s a bad thing, if you buy a chocolate cake you do expect it to taste like chocolate, do you not?
The surprising thing about it is the storyline. It really doesn\u2019t feel very anime at all. Which does come as a surprise as one does expect a VN to somewhat have an anime feel (remember my chocolate cake reference? Well that applies here too). That being said, it\u2019s not a bad story, the writing is actually pretty damn good. Granted there are some odd moments where you get a surprisingly short storyline, if you embark on one of the long ones you\u2019ll definitely get your money\u2019s worth. Especially if you\u2019re like me and have already read many VN\u2019s and are looking for something different. If you haven\u2019t ever played a VN before then I wouldn\u2019t recommend this game as it is in so many ways not like other VN\u2019s and you might get the wrong impression of the genre.
Other aspects of the VN were rather good too. I liked the cute little mini game and the music was always very nice and fitted the mood really well. Of course it had it\u2019s weak points too, there are no game settings and there are some bits in the story that felt a bit odd.
All in all a good VN with an entertaining story! Chocolate cake!
TL;DR A good all-round VN but rather different to most. I wouldn\u2019t recommend this to someone as his or her first Visual Novel, but for anyone who happens to like them, this is a must-have.. A good improvement compared to the previous titles released by these developers. The art style is simple, and the only thing that bothered me was the lack of expressions on the characters (they usually have all the same face, sometimes it might change just a bit). But that\u2019s a pet peeve of mine, maybe other people won\u2019t see this as a flaw.
The soundtrack is really good. It was what made me buy this game at first!
Also, this is probably the longest game by these devs. It didn\u2019t felt rushed, the routes were more elaborated and the characters were more likable. Get it on a good sale!
5\/10.. I really wanted to say I liked this visual novel but it just can't. The story to me was just too bland and the choices were almost always picking between two extremes. Maybe it was also weird because you play as a 30 something year old woman, or I went down a bad path but this game was definitely not for me.
