When The Night Comes Reviews

It just wasn't for me. I didn't find the characters particularly interesting and the main plot didn't keep my attention.

Good story, amazing voices, lots to discover~

I've played one route so far, but this story is the best visual novel and dating sim I've played! The music allows for immersion, the story is gripping (albeit there are a few typos here and there), and the characters/voice actors are excellent! I can't get enough of them and love that it's so rich!

Unexpected find for me! Went for August's route first because I was like "well they're the person Hunter is gonna be with most of the time" and was pleasantly surprised haha. I love their character! Want more of this series :D I got the DLC but I want more haha. The voice acting in this game is superb too! The writing is very smooth good to read as well. Love the humor in the game too. Played August's route twice before trying out Ezra's. Will go for Finn's next. I find myself very amused by Ezra and Finn because they somehow feel inspired by Good Omens' Aziraphale and Crowley? Even if they're not, they remind me of the two a lot haha, with some traits of what I love about those two characters leaking to the other characters as well haha. Anyway, those who are interested by the theme of this visual novel would probably like it :D The main plot is mostly the same in all the routes I heard and so far it seems true. But it's still very much fun learning about the different characters in their own routes, and learning about the characters you "left behind" in their routes it seems. Still a lot of funny August moments in Ezra's for example. The VN also has a form of the "found family" trope that otome VNs like Code: Realize and Cafe Enchante have so it's quite nice that way. Another thing that's somehow different for me at least for this VN is your choices don't really matter. Even if there are hearts next to them you can choose to not choose them, there doesn't seem to be an internal plot meter etc deciding your route. It's just about choosing which route you want to head to eventually and then at the end a choice that's pretty much obvious deciding for when you're going to the bad or good end. So in effect it's low pressure and just have fun reading, choosing the conversational choices that you want to pick :D (though in the end you'll probably go back for making the different choices too to unlock more lines, is very easy to go back to a prev choice too). One thing's that kind of weird with the Steam version is if you get the DLC, the option to play it separately doesn't really work. On mac at least Idk about others. It's kinda bugged. So if you install it you need to load the main game and it would load the DLC. But in order to play the main game again you have to uninstall the DLC. Is no biggie really but just might help others who are confused what's happening.
