About This Game Last Stanza is a slice of life, dramatic kinetic visual novel from developer Innocenceイノセンス!StoryDecember, 2009. On a day in the last week of that month, I realized how slowly dripping tears had a shivering yet uneasy feeling. The coming of winter turned the air thin and cold. The clouds blocked out the sunlight that normally reached the ground making it seem as if the sun was absent.Many days passed and life seemed to return to normal as if nothing had happened. To conceal my anger and confusion and slowly regain control of my thoughts, I opened my heart up to friends old and new to try at any cost to find a new place for myself.But it is in peaceful moments such as these when even a single seemingly inconsequential action can set up a chain reaction like the endless waves of a once calm ocean turned violent, bringing to the shores of my mind the emotions I had thought were long locked away.Key FeaturesLinear route, visual novelA short but impactful story written in almost 70,000 wordsStory brought to life with 12 unique characters, beautiful backgrounds and a wonderful soundtrack. 7aa9394dea Title: Last StanzaGenre: Casual, IndieDeveloper:InnocenceイノセンスPublisher:Sekai ProjectRelease Date: 9 Nov, 2018 Last Stanza Download No Crack This game is about people who are dealing with recent loss of a person. One becomes depressed, another have guilty pleasure, and so on. While the premise is unique and refreshing, unfortunately, I can't say the game successfully delivered its message.First, lots of character behavior seems either weird or poorly explained. For example, a male friend of male protagonist doesn't seem to care about the suffering of the protagonist. I guess the reasoning behind is that he is too obsessed with sports to notice it. However, if that's the case, he shouldn't be given the friend role anyway, Another example is the transfer student. She had abruptly rushed her romantic feeling toward the male protagonist, but the female protagonist doesn't seem to care much about her even when she is also hiding romantic interest for male protagonist. There should be more interaction between those two.Second, the time interval between scenes were too long. Whenever scene changes, at least one month passes. I understand that writer wanted to deliver only impactful moments to players, but it made characters very distant that I felt like reading newspaper, not novel. In other words, characters seemed to serve as mere components of story, nothing more.Third, too many characters have been mentioned before they actually appear in story. For example, the lost person of story is Charlotte. Her name appears early on whenever character talk about their inner feeling,but the actual information of her is revealed a way later. It was very hard for me to sympathize with protagonists since I had no idea about the lost person until the end. Several other character name also come to dialogue a bit early without any formation, making me confused as well.In conclusion, I don't think the story has delivered its message effectively. I think it would be better if the story focus on a few character instead - twelve seem to be an excess. However, at least the art itself was nice and the idea was unique, so I think the team has potential. I hope their next story would have improved quality.. A kinetic novella dealing with the tragic loss of a friend. And how those who continue on cope with the loss.. This game is about people who are dealing with recent loss of a person.
