MIRAGE NOIR

RATING: 4/5 | FAVORITE L/I: JEM | FINISHED OR DEMO?: DEMO

STORY

a story about yunie, a detective girlie who has been a detective 2 yrs but hasnt been on any cases. the day of the story, she finally gets into a crazy ass case she has to solve.

CHARACTERS

there's yunie, the mc. jem, the cosplaying streamer. alexei who is a "gang boss" but is extremely nice somehow. sami is a gamer. (why the hell would i wanna date that he's not even funny-ish like 404 from mystic messenger....) then theirry. hes got long hair and its pretty normal. so.

jem > theirry > alexei > sami for me!

YAPPERONI AND CHEESE

things i Didn't Like:

  • there was some weird... fatphobia in the beginning. it wasn't game breaking or EGREGIOUS but I did pick up on it and just was like Okay Girl. it wasn't even that funny you just being weirdt. the comments being made towards the boss would not happen if he weren't fat lol. but anyway.
  • the text during the prison escape scene was so slow. they forgot to account for bitches with adhd (me). SPEED IT UP, SOLDIER.
  • the UI is GORGEOUS (sitraxis knocks it out of the park everytime!), but i just find the animations to be a little annoying at times. like EVERY page has to move and bounce around, every single time? a way to maybe turn it off and have it be static would be lovely.
  • i also find the use of sfx w/ dialogue to sometimes be a little excessive. especially when i read fairly fast, it can get irritating quick LMFAO. imagine you speed reading and in twenty lines of dialogue like 7 got noises attached to them. Enough.
  • there also wasn't many options in the story in which i could rly.. have any say. i went back and checked and there was like 5 options Total, and they were all options to move left or something inconsequential. its only one half of the prologue so i Get It(tm)! but girl i wanna click shit that Matters...
  • i like jem but i also dont want to date a streamer. what is with modern otomes and making me date streamers. do i look like i wanna date dream? or jerma? <- has no mf idea who popular streamers are
  • listen. i get it. mc's dont have to be 100% like me. However. yunie bout dumb as hell. SPOILERS I GUESS but at the end one guy knocks her the hell out and kidnaps her (for her Safety, I Guess.). and when she wakes up she's like. not even mad this happens..? idgaf if my best friend of literally 12 yrs did this i'd cuss her OUT lmfao
  • WHO TF IS SAYING PWNING NOOBS IN 2024 ?!

things i Do Like:

  • everything's very gorgeous! fine enough logo, gorgeeoussss UI, pretty BGs and sprites! all in harmony truly. professional grade!
  • im putting this in likes because i dont hate it, but i cant say i love it. but the prison break minigame Was interesting! they also are looking for feedback on the game so i wont even be rude!
  • the writing doesn't annoy me. besides sami.. he's just truly Existing.

im sorry.. i hope this doesnt make me seem like im a hater, its VERY pretty just not all that memorable for Me, Cinni Mani.

i may or may not keep up with this but it isnt... bad.... just. meh!

4/5 because it's nice looking. competent. etc. but i dont personally care either way. love to the devs though!!
