Vision of Aurora Borealis Reviews

I felt like this was a VN I wanted to like but couldn't. I completed it in 48 minutes, which isn't too bad considering I only paid $1.99 for it, but just about every minute of it was forgettable. The dialog feels very awkward and unnatural, the music has no fade in or out which makes the transitions feel very abrupt, the story was dull and lacking in detail, and the bond the main characters had felt so forced and unnatural. I will give it one thing, the art was awesome. I really liked all the scenary, and the girl and fox looked great... but even that falls short because there are a few 10 minute periods where you're staring at a black screen and reading dialog one line at a time. I hope the team that worked on this uses this as a learning experience, because while Vision of Aurora Borealis isn't great, it certainly isn't bad. And even though I would not recommend it, it still feels like a good beginning, and I hope they continue to make more.

This kinetic novella is nice, if a bit sad. the protagonist meets a mysterious young lady while he is out trying to find himself. They have a connection, but he is... unsure what it is. Quick and powerful as it may be, and cheap as it is... I might suggest getting it on discount. That said... there might be more coming...

I'm gonna start by saying Vision of Aurora Borealis is a short story. And by short, I mean 40~50 minutes short. The pacing of the story felt fast and a little bit choppy, almost rushed at times. I can't say that there weren't any scenes for character/plot development; there were plenty. However, they were all rather short and I felt each scene had much more potential for detail. The soundtrack didn't feel nearly as dynamic and ambient as all the other visual novels I've read; this is primarily due to the long silences (that felt unnecessary at times) in sequences where the light piano BGM set the mood perfectly, and the abrupt BGM change during certain scenes of the story that could use some sort of fading transition. I really enjoyed the soundtrack itself, but I can't help but feel like it wasn't implemented to its full potential in this VN. As for the story itself, I'd call it a short, relatively open-ended speculative fiction revolving a cameraman's trip to Iceland, and a mysterious girl he meets there. I will say that I enjoyed the story very much; I decided to read it after having a bad day, and I don't regret that decision. It was the sort of light immersive escape I needed, which is one of the primary reasons I enjoy visual novels.

A short kinetic VN. The art style is really beautiful, and the BGM is quite good too. I loved the fact that the story takes place in Iceland, a colleague of mine went there once and said that it was an amazing country. I really wanted this VN to be a bit longer, just when I started to get more into the story, it was over. Hopefully, the upcoming side story will explain more about Gryla. 6/10.

Another VN game ^^ Loved this one Had to deal with Chris Lived in IceLand and Met this girl Grsyla who App Looked like an elf and everyone in her school Mocked her and Never Played with her again. Not gonna spoil the rest but Ev She Vanished Into nothigness Cause she was Spirit Form then she Thanked Him for believe in Her and now she has Friends and can PlayFootball etc. Very Touching Story VN game I loved it not bad Very short too but hey It was good.

You've gotta be kidding. This doesn't last even an hour. On top of that, the plot is not coherent. The progress is rushed. It is like cramming a whole year of relationship into a single night. I don't recommend at all. Other free VNs are much better than this.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the story was short, indeed too short that even I had no opportunity to yawn (which I occasionally do while reading any visual novels regardless of good or bad the story). The personalities given for characters were easy to understand, but in term of character development between them, it still has some lacking on it, which I felt awkward at some point thus making the relation felt shallow, felt rushed & not connected deep enough to leave major impact at the end. But still kudos to the team, this novel nevertheless is still good for introduction to those who are new to kinetic visual novel. Light & casual story suitable for everyone, beautiful arts, also nice BGM. Dont bother pay it at full price, wait for the sales instead :)

Pros: - Nice, pretty artwork Cons: - Extremely simplistic writing - Simple story - Lack of character development - Confusing ending I can't say I recommend it. It's a pretty game, but so very empty and shallow.

As much as I appreciate the effort that probably went into this novel (especially on the art front), I can't bring myself to recommend it. The art is pretty (although it can be off-putting if you're not into the overly-anime style; also, [spoiler]although the MC says Gryla has remarkably pointy elf ears, her ears are average and human-looking, both in sprites and in CGs[/spoiler]), the GUI and backgrounds are beautiful, and it certainly has a nice amount of CGs in comparison to its length, but it doesn't have many redeeming qualities besides those. The premise could have been interesting, but it is not explored to its full potential and some actions taken by the characters seem random or unnatural due to how rushed the whole thing is. The story is also too short to properly get into or to allow you to be truly involved with the characters. Despite the "Extras" option on the main menu, it is not really available and you can't view a CG Gallery or anything of the sort. Lastly, the end doesn't make much sense, and given what the story provides you with, you're not really sure whether there is an unspoken explanation for it or just a gaping plot hole. Considering the existence of free VNs out there that last up to 10 hours and have more captivating characters and complex storylines, I sadly cannot recommend this one.

This is one of the worst scams that I remember, along with Pregnancy. At least this has cute art. While taking photos of the aurora borealis, you're kidnapped by an Icelandic elf. The game promised before release to talk about Iceland. Probably the writer knows nothing about Iceland, or elves, for that matter. Why my elf behaves like a Japanese waifu? Why would you write about an elf girl if you want to do a generic, trope-ridden story? The elf tells you a sob story of how she was bullied for being different, and bam, the game is over. You won't have time to curse the insipid writing. You will be ejected to the main screen in no time. This isn't even a bad experience. This isn't even an experience. It's over as fast as a car crashing against a wall at 150 mph. Purin, I change my mind. I'm not amused. Even if it sells for next to nothing, that's because the game offers nothing. For 3-4 euros you can get some good deals, on key pages, dealers and even Steam, to grab a game way, way better than this fail.
