About This Game

Overview:

It's been a year of hard travel, but finally, the young mage Kymil arrives at his destination.

He's a Cyromancer - a spellcaster who wields the power of ice to smite down his enemies. Kymil learned how to harness his power thanks to his uncle, a well-renowned adventurer who hunted down treasure on every corner of the continent.

But his uncle was murdered in his home by an unknown assailant, and Kymil is driven to uncover the mystery behind his death. The only clue he has is an unfinished entry in his uncle's notes about a mysterious cathedral in the middle of the sprawling Dead Plains...

When he arrives at the cathedral, Kymil has no idea what he's searching for or where to go. But something in him presses him forward, and he's determined to figure out the cathedral's secrets, no matter how dire the cost.

About:

Requiescence is a visual novel - a 2D narrative-based game that presents the user with important choices to alter the story's path. Primarily a story of action and adventure, Requiescence features three prominent romance routes that significantly change the later portions of the game.

The game is also a BL (boy's love) game, which means both the main character and the love interests are male.

If you're familiar with Nitro+CHiRAL games (Togainu no Chi, Lamento, DRAMAtical Murder, Sweet Pool), then you know how amazing a story can become when you mingle an epic adventure with intricate character relationships. Requiescence is heavily inspired by these games and aims for a similar style, while still putting a fresh twist on the BL genre. 1075eedd30

I didn't expect a game about uncovering someone's murder to be so terribly boring. Like sure, it's a game about Repose but it felt like pure tedium. There was nothing relaxing at all about it.

From the intro sequence, I thought this was going to be a game about you being the king that stopped everything from going bad; or going back in time and being a political drama. My fault, I just kind of bought the game without looking at the details and there were no reviews (for understandable reasons). So I was a little disappointed when it was literally just a story about wandering around in an ancient cathederal. It's like a labyrinth game without actually having the option to choose which direction you get to go.

If this sounds exactly like your cup of tea, go right ahead.

Pros:
* There's voice acting
* The soundscape is pretty immersive
* There are branching paths. I think. Maybe even four love interests, if not more.
* The fashion is pretty great.
* There's magic

Cons:
* Limited choices. Painfully limited. There's actually a good\/evil choices and you don't get to make them depending on the love interest you select. I don't care if I've made good choices up 'till now maybe I want to be EVIL at the end.
* The voice acting is... for some parts and not all of them. And also the best voice actor is a side character (who seems to be the only girl in the game) who has like 5 lines. Everyone else sounds about the same.
* The MC seems to have no actual character, and their character is wholly defined by the love interest they choose. Which is terribly boring to deal with.
