IdolDays Reviews

Beautiful character design and a pretty good story behind it. alot of ecchi content with a simple love story, and it's rather short unfortunately. There is a nice music video in teh game as a plus. There is some fun humor but cliche AF in anime terms. Though most of the publisher/developer uses the same backgrounds, I like the cameo shots of other titles. Offsite R-18 patch, steam version is censored.

Started out a bit slow, but in the end I very much enjoyed it. The story was nice, and the song was also very enjoyable. Recommend.

Story quality is pretty much the same as any other Qureate "days" visual novels out there. I must say, the Live2D here is surprisingly bad compared to the previous games. The FemC's mouth opens wide whenever she speaks but her speaking tone doesn't align with it except when she acts all delinquent. Giving it a positive review but this is pretty much mid status for me.

Overall it is a decent game, maybe a 65 out of 100. I liked the game mainly because of the two leads progressing relationship and interactions, but often the gamplay is just boring. And I've played "fun" and "interesting" visual novels before with the standard click through dialogue. A lot of my gripes about it is just that for me it's not very engrossing as a story. Also a little too cliche. That along with the limited variation in the art. Mainly the backgrounds, will not change until the next scene/chapter. If the other characters had a face as well it would help. Still I liked the premise and the main characters themselves. It gets through a good amount of idol stuff for a short story. I played with the r18+ patch, and it was definitely worth it, even if the h-scenes sometimes seem random. Both of the good endings were great, the bad ending sucks as you would expect. Also, having the character you play as quote manga as a quirk, did not work too well. Especially when you get the references lmao.

[b] I recommend this game but first, just before you buy it, take in consideration these features: [/b] * The story of the game itself is short. I would say that I would like more drawings from other characters besides Tsubaki. * The story is very beautiful, but if you have just a little experience watching anime then you'll find a lot of clichés here which, maybe, would make you feel like you are watching just another random anime story. * The drawings and the animations are very beautiful and well done, but hey, take in consideration that even patching the game with the R18 Patch on the game site, you will find some H scenes with some kind of censure (I didn't like that at all). * I loved the music a lot. The singer of the introduction of the game is the same VA from the protagonist. * I bought this game because I played Escape from Hotel Izanami and Prison Princess from the same studio Qureate, which both I consider to be a very nice experience overall, so comparing them with this one (which is not a puzzle game) I'd say that those titles seems to be more polished than this one. * There is a part on a dialog that I didn't like. I'll mark it as a spoiler. [spoiler] So the thing is that the protagonist that you incarnate, in a moment, he has the feeling that he is not the only man with whom she has shared her intimacy and he feels dissapointed about that (he found out later that he is her first), and hey, in real life that doesn't matter at all; she is a super hot girl, awesome attitude, beautiful feelings, among other positive features... I think that kind of thinking comes from a child with 12 years old. [/spoiler] Having said that, is the only real negative point in the narrative.

What a disappointment this was. I read the reviews, seen the very positive overall score and went sure lets go experience another story. What I got instead was a "game" where 2/3 of the text (not exaggerating) is exposition where you watch a story that makes very very little sense of a strong extremely talented extremely skilled woman become an idol and fall for a guy who in reality they wouldn't bother looking at twice. I found the entire thing to be extremely boring, poorly written and just uninspired. Most of the filler text is describing something they could have done by simply drawing another picture of the main girl, instead of only having about 14 different ways for her to be shown for the entirety of the game. It just feels extremely lazy. Overall -Poorly written -Very little actual interaction within the text, mostly just describing things that could have been done with an extra frame or two of pictures. -Story doesn't make sense for interactions -The art is quiet good though -Voice actor and the song are enjoyable

Pro -CG was good -I like Tsubaki Akanesaki character delinquent turned idol -Story wasn't bad -Voice acting is good Con -Idol Song should of been used more or their should of been more songs. Some spots just don't have music for the concerts. Really only think that killed the game for me. Mixed on recommend or not to recommend(Neutral)

Kind of boring, which made it seem excessively long. I'm writing this only a few weeks after I've finished it and I'm struggling to remember it. Like other games from this developer, despite feeling long and drawn out, the writing is lacking and fails to make the relationship building feel natural and gradual. The girl's supposed to be a tsundere or a tough tomboy-ish type, yet she does things out of character or changes character without much hesitation. Or in other words, the writing failed to give her much personality. The whole 'new girl underdog becoming an idol' story-line seemed like an afterthought. It just happened without much conflict. Forgive me for wanting a little more than just big tiddies.

What an amazing game i never thought i was into games like this where you read and choose the path kinda thing but after playing this i gotta say i really enjoy these games i mean the story was so good i really enjoyed it and i think my money was very well spent here it even gave me a sense of joy and hope all at the same time i really think this game is very good and would highly recommend it To The Developer Just wanted to say BIG Thanks for making this game had an amazing time playing and ill being coming back to play more of your games so if you make anymore games id be happy to play them

It's honestly not too bad, but they just don't do enough with it. The premise is interesting, and the characters have interesting base point, they just never develop it much and rushed through what developments there are. Linux player note: the game crash on start because one of the logo is in .asf. I have made a report on ProtonDB with a config file that enables the compatible movie display mode, allowing for them to be skipped, but it's a shame that there's no auto-setting when they have the workaround, it's just that it's one of those "the key is behind the locked door," type of situation. The Heroine is a tsundere delinquent who happen to be good at singing, but she has strong opinions about a lot of things due to her background, and it could be pretty interesting had there were more downtimes not involving her slowly becoming an idol. She's just no Tsujidou replacement. The MC, at least, have a dream and have some personality quirks, and god is it depressing that that's enough to make him stand out. It's really not much, but it's something. The story is interesting in the beginning but gets boring once the heroine agrees to be an idol as it just becomes a "Newbie somehow becomes winner" type of story without even the meat of, say, Love Live's progression. And the H and relationship isn't great. They didn't give it enough time, and even if you're just a complete coomer, they only have like 3 softcore scenes before the ending and each of the 2 good ending only have 1 insertion scene each (bad ending not even having any) so they're just meh. Overall, it's really not much, and I legit spend more time (3 hours, so twice the amount I actually played) trying to figure out a workaround for the game and then reporting to ProtonDB and the devs.
