(Archagent) The Silver Case is undeniably idiosyncratic. It
has a visual style that no other game has ever
really attempted. (Aside from its sequel, I
assume.)
(Archagent) There's something inherently compelling about
that. Even if I don't find it that appealing, I find
the unique nature of the piece, presentationally,
fascinating.
(Archagent) With that being said, the visual aspect isn't the
only part of a visual novel. There's also the
novel half to mull over. I simply find that
suda51's writing is unappealing.
(Archagent) His characters all speak the same way, and
there's an incessant amount of swearing to
sound cool. Everyone feels like they're trying
too hard to come off as edgy.
(Archagent) That would be tolerable, if it weren't for the
slurs that are present in the work dropped
absolutely casually and the way it treats
women.
(Archagent) Granted, I don't know how Ayame's
story ultimately shakes out - I couldn't find
much about it online after I had decided to not
finish the game - but the way that the game
constantly reiterates the idea that women are
temperamental creatures who kill over
romantic jealousy is frankly gross.
(Archagent) Knowing how women will be treated in
suda51's later projects, it's hard to give him
grace here.
(Archagent) I wish I had more positive things to say, but
my experience with this game was simply
negative.
(Archagent) Fuck...
(Archagent) I hope that's not too disappointing. I never like
when I don't have a good time with a popular
game.
