Best otome game of all time. to me
This review contains spoilers
The game has its good points but there is a bug that can prevent you from platinuming the game and not getting the last ending which really sours what already is a rocky story at its best. Also it claims to tie in with the other Psychedelica game but it does so very poorly. What a shock, the sequel is actually a prequel to some characters and a sequel to others? Whatever
I like the first half more than the 2nd half
The true ending was so good
Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk, how to describe this? It's marketed as an otome game and while it does have otome elements, it's way more story-driven than romance-focused, but there are elements of romance in it. This game does have a bit of a slow start, due to chapter 2 having a butt-load of side content, but when the story gets going after that, it gets going and really quickly too. The story is fantastic, it has multiple twists and turns and I even found a second character in gaming that I hate, only one other game ever did that for me. I won't name the character for spoiler reasons. Then the truth of the story and the multiple endings, but what really sealed the deal as the best visual novel I have ever played was the heroine ending. After what happens in the story, I cried so much because the ending was so sweet and heart-warming. The game as an entire story and visual novel is amazing and has far surpassed the cute catgirls, (which is also pretty good) that I was used to before in the world of visual novels. Psychedelica of the Ashen Hawk is an easy 10/10 and I would highly recommend it as a visual novel to play for anyone looking for a really good story that gets you thinking about how every piece of the puzzle fits together. It has rightfully earned a spot among some of my favourite games of all time and is the first game I have ever completed 100% for achievements.
