Refraction Reviews

Refraction is a good visual novel with an interesting story line and a unique art style. The game has multiple endings and branching pathways throughout the game. This visual novel didn't contain any voice acting and while that wasn't an issue for me I know some players are picky about that sort of thing so I figured I would mention it. The game has icons at the bottom of the screen for saving loading and that sort of thing that initially had me confused but fortunately there is a help section that will tell you what the buttons do. I'm a bit surprised this game hasn't gotten more attention. Hopefully people will read this review and give the game a chance like I did.

[h1]Quick thoughts with accompanying screenshots and video in Sinical Network[/h1] https://www.sinicalanimenetwork.com/post/refraction-quick-thoughts [i]Refraction[/i] is a free-to-play supernatural student life visual novel with romance by [i]Universe Zero[/i]. It features Jackie Shields, a female student at Big Lake University where she attends Intro to World Religions classes with her best friends Jun and Paul. She is also a member of the university's Journalism department and has an ambitious plan to do an exposé with her fellow department members on the university's president for corruption. Jackie wakes up one day to find herself in an alternate reality in which her friends, and the Journalism department's plans may have changed. She also has to deal with her double Jacqueline Shields who is taking her place and doing some things without her knowledge. After spending over 2 hours to read through the visual novel and obtaining all the achievements, I can confirm that [i]Refraction[/i] has interesting modern pop culture references with some choices that lead to 4 different endings. A Steam community guide is also available to help players get all the endings and achievements. In terms of artwork and background music, they are nice enough in bringing out the humor in the story, and I hope this visual novel will qualify for normal Steam profile features in future. On the other hand, the short length of the entire visual novel cause the romance routes to feel rushed with little time to develop the character relationship properly. This is a bit of a pity as the characters have interesting personalities, backgrounds and hobbies that makes it worthwhile to try every character route and ending. Overall, [i]Refraction[/i] is an interesting supernatural student life visual novel with some comical artwork, background music, and pop culture references. If you like the genre and the story description looks interesting enough, this is a nice free to play game to read for a few hours.
