This horror game that voltage is advertising... Will I be able to date the ghost? Lmao

[miamei]

Shun's married in paradise comes out this month!!!! I have low expectations seeing as how the reviews for the other two guys said the story felt rushed, plus we never even got a season 5. BUT I'm going to reread all of the main story and side stories so that I can be up to date and have my memory refreshed. Also I hate when my favorite things end so it might be a while anyways before I read it lol, I don't want to say goodbye!

At least they're offering people a refund. I don't think I've seen that before with any of the other games I've played. It sucks that it's ending though

Uploaded this a bit earlier since i won't have time on Halloween.

It's been a while i spend my time for paintings. I had much fun with this. Might do some more in the future but not as much it's just super time consuming but would love to explore this more🫠

I tried to leave a review on the app but I kept getting flagged for random words (what’s new) so I’m going to air my thoughts out on here instead. I’m sure I’ll have other things to say about this story as time passes but the only way I can describe this right now is that it felt mediocre. The pacing is a mess. To be fair, it always has been - I remember 5 years ago complaining about pace to my friends in this community when Voltage first introduced the 2 part format so I understand if I appear fickle.

It starts off with a time skip and a brief explanation that Kiyo’s old agency has been struggling it, we meet his grandma, whose sprite is clearly recycled from an older title (which already feels like foreshadowing for how this story will go). They finally achieve their goal, only for it to be snatched away almost immediately because Kiyo gets affected by his old agency's prostitution scandal. Then they have to meet the MC’s parents to convince them that the MC won’t get hurt again and before you know it, it’s wedding day and that’s it.

Speaking of the wedding day, it’s just a montage of his old CGs while the other characters talk amongst themselves before the screen cuts to the new CG. You don’t even get to see all of Kiyo’s outfit for the wedding because they didn’t create a new sprite.

You skip ahead again to a few years in the ending set when the siblings finally get onto that billboard in New York, MC tells Kiyo she's pregnant, cut to her struggling during the first trimester so Kiyo decides he's taking a break and then MC gives birth to their daughter who you don't get to see. His mother never appears at any point throughout this story and I feel a little disappointed by that because Kiyo once said the MC and his mother weren’t alike despite both being divorced so I thought it would have been an interesting interaction.

The pregnancy could’ve been a story on its own. Keep the time skip and show Kiyo and Hikari doing well when the MC discovers she’s pregnant. Rather than having Kiyo announce a hiatus and skipping straight to the baby’s birth, they could have explored the tension of this period further:

Kiyo becomes too busy to notice how much MC is struggling, while she tries to quietly deal with the symptoms on her own. Maybe she tries to prove that she can handle managing his and Hikari’s careers because she’s afraid of holding them back when their careers are thriving. Her parents could’ve reappeared to say “we warned you this would happen,” pushing that emotional conflict even further.

In the unlikely event that Voltage is reading this, they’re probably thinking “Damned if we do, damned if we don’t 🙄”. But they’ve had three years to put something together and THIS is what they came up with. You can tell that Voltage just wanted to get this title done and over with.

I’m just baffled how the writers managed to miss the mark with Kiyohito here. I said in my post from around New Year’s that I thought Kiyo was going to be the easiest character to wrap up. I’m guessing that the stories for the other 4 characters will be going in a similar direction.

I think a part of me knew that Kiyohito's finale would be rushed as hell and from what I've seen in the comments of his finale, that unfortunately seems to be the case. And it sucks big time because he and the other guys deserve a big send off before the title officially ends. Instead each of them are only getting the equivalent of a Part 1 Main Story but everything is crammed into a short finale. The boys really got screwed over big time. Especially Tsubaki and Blood Moon. And even Kaisei as he has the shortest story length.

Even though I stopped playing KoP a long time ago, a part of me was still invested because I genuinely like Kiyo and Kaisei but was completely turned off with how Voltage abandoned it for so many years.

Can we even call it a happily ever after if the story was rushed just so Voltage could end this title and continue with their other ones?

[miamei]

This is such a vulnerable moment. Shun thought that she cheated on him and she rushes to explain to him before his mind wanders. She vehemently apologizes over and over and they cry together, seeing the extent of each others pain. The mc feels extra guilty because she knows what being cheated on feels like and saw that shun was a copy of her past self. They make up the same way they always do but different. This is more raw than ever before, seeing sides of each other they've never seen.

[miamei]

They freaky as hell and I love it
