Luna's Twilight Steam Charts & Stats

In [i]Luna’s Twilight[/i] your grandmother has passed and left you a secluded mansion in the middle of a mysterious forest. Inhabited by four unique and charming potential romances. Thank you Grandma :) [h2][u]The Story & Spice Level[/u][/h2] I have to say the start of the story is a bit humorous to me. You come from a well-to-do family with maids, butlers and all the luxuries. Your grandma has passed on and left you the key to her luxurious mansion in the middle of the forest. A forest with many rumors of witches and mythical beings. A place shrouded in mystery where few are reluctant to go. But one letter from your dear old deceased granny and your parents are more than happy to let you go. No objections and no hesitation. [i]I am not sure if your parents were aware they are sending you ALONE to a luxurious mansion in the forest with four handsome suitors?[/i] So you end up being the new caretaker of the mansion and allow your four esteemed guests to remain. The novel starts off with a prologue. You start off getting to know all the characters and setting up the story. From there the story branches off with each of the four potential romances having their own routes and storyline. ❗[i]Once the prologue is complete the game makes you choose one of the four routes to pursue. From that point on you're committed to that character's story.[/i] Two endings are complete at this time in early access (Tyrineon and Raul’s). Each character has 3 endings, good, bad and true. The four strangers you meet at the mansion are; a vampire and noble named Shade, a small enduring boy named Al (who just appears as a boy at first glance), a closed off yet loyal and straightforward werewolf named Raul and an elf named Tyrineon who despite always smiling it never reaches his eyes. 🌶️ The spice level in this novel is very mild. The characters kiss but there are no graphic scenes, nudity or anything lewd. [h2][u]Settings, Features & Gameplay[/u][/h2] Settings & features include; Screen mode, resolution, language, text options, and audio controls including the ability to adjust voice volume for each character or mute them. Text is easy to read and the text box can be hidden for screen captures by clicking your right mouse button and clicking it again to bring it back. There is a gallery that unlocks as you play for each character including the main character that houses not just the cg arts but also cut-scene animations and cute chibi moments. The story for each character is divided up into chapters and the game will prompt you to save before the next chapter begins. Each chapter is pretty short so I stuck to just saving at the prompts. [h2][u]The visuals are beautiful…[/u][/h2] The artwork is gorgeous, and the games biggest strength. Vibrant palette, attention to details and lighting and done in a beautiful anime style. The main characters are animated to a high degree. Beautifully done with different poses, hair that sways, eyes that blink, and movements that mimic breathing. A lot of love went into the artwork and presentation of this novel. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3426234636 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3426234799 [h2][u]The writing…is a struggle[/u][/h2] The writing is [i]not[/i] fluid in this novel, this is something lost in translation. Some conversations will seem odd or it will take a moment to figure out what they are trying to say. It happens enough that it is very noticeable. The grammar and sentence structure is often incorrect with some words just not being used properly to describe actions or feelings. The artwork and the presentation of the novel is really well done but being a visual novel where reading, for most of us, is a critical component (since we rely on the subtitles), it would be remiss of me to not point out the state of the writing. [h2][u]Overall Experience[/u][/h2] The artwork and animations are the strength of this novel, the writing is it’s weakness. The story itself is interesting in parts and I really do enjoy all the different characters. I did manage to complete both Tyrineon and Raul’s endings to completion however not all achievements are available at this time as it requires you to finish and view all of the endings for all characters and two are not available yet. I highly suggest anyone who is interested in this novel to try the demo and pay attention to the writing. I never played the demo so I cannot say how much exposure you will have to the novel overall. I feel a lot of effort went into making this novel so I do recommend it (on a steep sale). I do not think the core writing will change from now to full release. Hopefully my experience will be helpful in what to expect if you are interested. 🌹 [i]This game was purchased by me for my personal library. On occasion I share my experiences with the groups I write for to help bring attention to games I’ve personally purchased and wish to give more exposure too.

The English translation is AWFUL, a lot of the sentences are just a word salad of nonsense.
