So, this game is not out yet but I decided why not review the demo for those who maybe haven’t played it but are considering buying this game, or just for those who are curious about the game in general. This is obviously not the actual review of the game yet since it releases on December 19th. This is also based on the mobile demo since there is no Switch demo as of yet.
The heroine is a girl named Kotone who inherits her grandfather’s cafe after he dies. Upon entering it, she looks over the entire cafe having nostalgic feelings coming back from when she was young and lived with her grandfather. She then finds a strange room with “staff only” on it. When she enters it, she finds a huge extravagant door that has a “closed” plate next to it. After changing it to “open” an other-worldy man appears and says he finally found her and embraces her closely while telling her he’s been waiting for her.
I know this game is coming out in English, so you can use my skip to non-spoiler thoughts if you don’t want to spoil anything.
Oscar Yamada is an otaku obsessed with a character named ‘Hikaru’ from a series called ‘Romakoi’. Her mother named her Oscar after Rose of Versailles so she has a complex with her name. Since her mother is a famous actress, she attends a rich school called ‘Bellrose Academy’ which is known for having a popular theatre department. This game is loosely based on the manga Rose of Versailles which it takes many elements from the plot & inspiration for the characters
Nayuta (CV: Shimono Hiro) is the youngest of the group but also the most naive and literally the most like a loyal dog. He often gets tricked into buying things for the sake of making Hibari happy or just because he’s gullible which is why he’s in debt. He likes to be bossed around which is why everyone orders him around.
Shion (CV: Nojima Kenji) is one of the more mysterious guys of the group who is described as a gigolo. He loves beautiful/clean things which is why he doesn’t like animals. He’s usually looking at fashion magazines since he loves fashion and looking good.
Taiga (CV: Okamoto Nobuhiko) is one of the suitors with the least amount of motivation to actually try and win Hibari’s heart. He loves to gamble and his favorite saying is to “win it all in one go”. However, his bad eating and sleeping habits don’t bode well with Hibari. He also goes out a lot which annoys Hibari even further. In addition, each time Hibari interacts with Taiga, they always argue.
Ichiya (CV: Toriumi Kousuke) is the so-called “flirt” of the candidates that continuously comes up with cliche catchphrases that don’t effect Hibari whatsoever. He is the most skilled in cooking and continuously conjures up special menus for Hibari for her every meal. He’ll make her something exotic or super fancy according to what he believes her tastes are. However, this ends up driving Hibari nuts when all she wants to do is eat normal food rather than this fancy stuff that Ichiya comes up with.
Hibari lives in a rich household and is close with her butler who is basically her caretaker. She starts her first day of school at an all girl’s academy. After school, she encounters four mysterious men that all ask her to marry them. Super confused, Hibari is sent back home with her butler, Kasuga. She talks to her strict grandfather who tells her that he decided on these marriage candidates for her so that they have a man worthy of taking over the Tojo name. Hibari is completely against it but her grandfather is relentless and tells her she needs to face reality. So she’s taken to a villa where the four men are staying.
This is a sequel that takes place after the first game (not the FD) with the addition of a new fighting system and a new route.
The fandisk for Shiro to Kuro no Alice. I delayed this long enough… While I semi-enjoyed this at first, it really just dragged on and I started to get bored of it. This is more a of a short summary than anything.
