I've only played a little bit, but I'm enjoying this game.

super nice anime pc game! I realy like it! top libra vampire anime cute feelings for top libra vampire anime boygirls like me!! Im realy in love with this game! you can play/buy it! =) <3

These are a pair of prequels to Libra of the Vampire Princess. They can serve as back story for those who have read that, or an intro to three of the characters. While I would suggest waiting for a sale, these are actually well-done, so I can recommend them.

First of all, I’d like to point the fact that this kinetic (there are no choices, you only read) visual novel is [b]very expensive[/b] for such little content¹. I still haven’t played the original game, and I bought this title since in the description it says that it’s a good introduction of the world of [i]Libra of the Vampire Princess[/i]. I’m very interested on that game, but since it’s expensive as well, I’ll wait for a sale. This title consists in two short episodes: two girls called Lycoris and Aoi who are agents of an organization called Rubina. The girls dress as nuns and they kill vampires, in order to protect innocent people. [spoiler]Aoi is kinda of an a.s.s to Lycoris sometimes, trying to prove herself by saying some disrespectful things about Lycoris’ late partners.[/spoiler] Then there’s a few semi romantic scenes and dialogue between them, both characters insist that they love each other, but “not like that”. There’s some fanservice because of it, which I liked. The ending was pretty abrupt tho, things were getting cute and it ended faster before I could even say “Aww—“. lol The second story is very different, some sort of sci-fi mixed with an occult group trying to take over the power. A woman called Iris together with her colleagues, Aconite and Galega [spoiler](he’s weird as f*ck but I liked him?? He has a fetish for Iris’ legs because he thinks they’re perfect but it’s not like he loves her. Just… her legs. lol[/spoiler], take down these crazy guys that are part of the occult group that want people to get infected with an impure life force. Wow. [spoiler]And it ends up being something totally different.[/spoiler] 5/10. The art style together with BGM and VA are pretty good, but honestly, the price tag bothers me a lot. Lycoris and Aoi’s story where a good introduction to the original game (at least you get to know a bit of the plot), and Iris route was basically for fanservice. Which is fine, but just… If you haven’t played the original game yet, how can this second story be considered a “good introduction to the original”? Even so, it was fun. The ending was unexpected at least. Overall, I recommend to get this title AFTER you read Libra of the Vampire Princess, and only if you liked the story a lot in order to pay an absurd amount of money on two short kinetic novels. You can always wait for a good sale too, it’s up to you. [b]¹ There’s an achievement that requires 10 hours of gameplay. So I let it idle in order to get it. I finished the whole game in 2 hours or less.[/b]
