Artificial Mansion Reviews

Decent VN, really reminds me of Rozen Maiden. The two disappointments were no [strike]BaraSuigintou[/strike] Adelaide or [spoiler]harem [/spoiler]routes.

Sorry~ I'm fond of this developer but this doesn't quite do it for me. The girls are likeable and, even though the art isn't the highest grade, the art style is nonetheless pretty nice (I like the garden and the designs of the girls, but sometimes a CG can look a little awkward to me.) The antagonist is threatening, especially in the later days. Some of the earlier fights don't seem like much at all, while the later ones feel much more substantial. It's interesting learning the backstories and philosophies of the girls. That said, there's quite a lot of talk about friendship and the strength of a team, and while I get that it's thematic, it gets repetitive. It's worth noting that at the time of writing this review, I only got one real ending: the friendship ending, so things may well have been more substantial - or I might have had fewer complaints - if I had focused on one of the girls. From what I saw, though, I found it very strange that the characters didn't entertain the idea of attacking their enemy while she was asleep? Or entertain the idea of waking up significantly later in the day, so they'd have more of their energy around night time without having spent some of it staying awake all day? Things are done well and I like some of the plot points, themes, and stories relating to the girls, but I found that there were a few glaring things that I needed to overlook. Not a bad game, but I don't feel the urge to replay it and it didn't quite seem 'fully baked,' from my perspective. 4/10
