This story is about a young boy named Tohno Shiki who, after experiencing a traumatic accident, wakes up in the hospital with the ability to see lines and cracks in every surface and being. These lines, when traced with any sharp or blunt edge, will be permanently cut. As he is forced to see these lines everywhere, Shiki is distraught until he meets a mage girl who gives him glasses that allow him to live a normal life. Years later, after living in a relative's home, the death of his father has him summoned back to the mansion he left years ago. There he must learn to live with his younger sister and two maid girls. One day Shiki's life takes a turn for the worst when, on the way to school, he meets a blonde woman and he's overcome with the urge to kill her.

While I loved the story and the characters, going through the game itself was kind of tedious since the engine Tsukihime was built is incredibly dated, it doesn't even have thumbnails for save files, nor does it tell you where you saved (something that's standard for visual novels), just the times you saved. So if you want load to a specific point, you gotta remember where you saved.
Playing with the original music can be annoying, since one of the songs is like 10 seconds long but gets repeated for like 10 to 20 minutes.
Also this is a minor thing, but this VN doesn't track the endings you got like Fate/Stay Night, so it's hard to know which Bad Ends you actually have missed since there is many in Tsukihime.

Still, it's a great visual novel worth experiencing, most issues I have are technical issues.

A serious mixed bag. I liked a lot here. Arcrueid and her route were fantastic, and Kohaku was a great character as well, but the H Scenes were generally both not well written and had no business happening in the first place, and the Akiha route made me uncomfortable enough to nearly drop the story. There's a lot to like here however and I'm glad I read it, it's just definitely a product of the time.

i need to replay this game i kinda rushed through it and i havent touched arc's route since 2022 before picking it back up this year

Podéis venir a mi casa a pelear conmigo, pero Fate es peor que esto.
