Nameless - The Departed Cycle Reviews

Good story and I loved the art. Can't wait to go and get the other endings!

Fantastic artwork and really engaging soundtrack. The game has a great eerie atmosphere and engaging premise!

Nameless is a beautifully written story with genuinely impactful choices, a lovely soundtrack, and a colorful cast full of secrets. I believe I got through all branches within two hours, though while concisely told, it definitely didn't feel lacking. [spoiler] Israh and Vermillius's often emotional natures make the dramatic path branching read very naturally and convincingly. I felt pretty bad about filtering through some of the bad endings. The writing is rather poetic, but never in a way that takes away from the experience. I found it particularly interesting how Israh appears to fit into the Umbral Forest better than Vermillius; I felt it alluded to the true nature of the latter's relationship with it. [/spoiler]

This was amazingly written. The influences from ttrpgs and crpgs is very apparent in the world building, character and background designs, and unique choice of voice direction for a visual novel. In fact it almost feels like an rpg on pure story mode, no fighting or adventuring to get in the way of a touching tale of two tortured souls and love, in all its forms. While that could be seen as a drawback, its pulled off incredibly well, and leaves me wishing to hear more tales of the stars.

Gorgeous art, great writing, haunting music, adorable redhead. what's not to enjoy?

Beat it in 69 minutes (nice) getting one Bad End naturally The choices for True End are fairly obvious, but it doesn't make it bad. The writing is fantastic, has great humour, and it really let's you sink into the mystical world letting the characters feel human. There are some loose ends, so I'll have to go through again and try to get the different bad endings to see if any extra lore ties those up.

Dark and handsome, and doesn't waste your time with meaningless fluff. Nameless is a gorgeous fantasy VN with colorful characters and hints of an expansive magic world full of awe, wonder, and all sorts of horrors woven together into a grand tapestry, accentuated by the visual effects and stellar OST. Both protagonists, Israh and Nameless, are such deep characters with their own motivations and history. Nameless truly is a story full of heart. You'd be remiss to pass up on it.

A wonderful fantasy that reminds me of a fairy tale, dark but with a heart of kindness! Short but rich, strong characterization and good chemistry. I got the true ending first try and it will absolutely break my heart to go back and try to reach the others. What if I just don't. They've Earned This. love to be queer and read queer visual novels

A very sweet and gripping story! The art was unique and well-done, I loved the character designs in particular, and the music was incredibly good. The writing is easy to read and as I said, the story was gripping. If you enjoy fantasy visual novels, definitely give this one a go! You're in for a treat.

Nameless - The Departed Cycle is a great story with beautiful art, a lovable cast, and a sexy furry man. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys visual novels. Also the sound track is an absolute banger. Definitely checking out their composer's soundcloud and picking that up as well.
