May Reviews

May is a yaoi Visual Novel with extremely mild sexual content. I wasn't sure what to expect when playing this game as it has very few reviews during the many years it's been submitted to Steam. The reviews did look promising so I decided to play this, well they were mostly right! The game starts out somewhat lighthearted, but the deeper we delve into the emotive side of things, it takes a darker turn... that's just how I like my Visual Novels though! The game has 4 different routes and 2 bonus chapters (which are short), assuring you get every outcomes possible of the story and end on a good note (the bonus chapters are unlocked only when you finish the 4 base routes.) The graphics are really, really nice. I do not know if they're assets or not, but if you don't care for that the world of this game is immersive and beautiful. The characters are great, they have well-crafted personalities and I can finally give credits where is due to keeping true to the characters' personalities throughout the whole game. The music is nice though I wasn't personally a fan of the soundtrack, it's a bit too 'ambient' to my liking. The story is just the right length (if a little short perhaps in some parts), clocking in at around 2 hours for a normal-paced and complete playthrough. I am not a fan of some of the endings, but the plot twists and the dramatic moments are nicely done. The writing is good and the translation is better than most games which are not originally written in English. The game ends on a good note overall and I did not regret playing it whatsoever. It is definitely a surprise to see a game with such a low amount of reviews be this satisfying to play honestly! Overall, absolutely worth to play through the story!
