The continuation of the same flavor

Although it's not like those GALGAME manufacturers that focus on the theme of cute girls, it has such an exaggerated spread of works, well, after all, Cerse has always been the biggest driving force for human progress (?), but it must be no problem to say that Innocent Grey has a special status in the minds of many students.

Take myself as an example, although the contact time is not very early, but after entering the pit, I quickly became a loyal fan, and I really love their "Flowers" series, and the delicate feelings of the girls who alternate with the seasons are easy to arouse the complex emotions of players, and people unconsciously follow the perspective of the girls and immerse themselves in it. The level of each part of the series is quite online.,It's a recommendation index of five stars.,As long as you have a preference for the theme of pure love lily.,You might as well try it.,There should be a good experience.。

As for the rest of Innocent Grey's work, I'm a little hesitant. One of the most famous is definitely the girl series.,Heavy taste of the name must have heard of it.,I don't know if the tolerance matches it.,Who makes people generally stressed now.,The pursuit of excitement doesn't mean that you want to find yourself unhappy.。

However, after Shiravune Baizhou brought the official Chinese version of "Shell Girl" to steam in 2023, I still couldn't hold back my curiosity to play, and all kinds of worries disappeared before, and the attraction of the script was there and I couldn't refuse it. I'm eager to know what the follow-up development and the truth is.,And the heavy taste also takes into account the player's ability to bear.,There's no overly disgusting performance.,On the contrary, through the artist's exquisite painting skills, it's also dyed with a bit of bewitching beauty.,Sure enough, there's no vanity under the fame.。

And the sequel "The Girl of the Void" didn't make everyone wait too long, and it was only half a year, while everyone hadn't forgotten the plot, the experience was well continued, and it can only be said that Bai Zhou is really powerful. It's still investigation and reasoning as the main theme.,It's just that the mystery of the previous work is equivalent to leaving a tail.,There's just an extra worry.。

Delicate and demonic fusion

The first time you see "The Girl of the Void" or the previous game "The Girl of the Shell", I think players will be caught by its excellent artwork. The presentation of the specific post-war development period of the Showa era alone is enough to arouse a lot of interest, after all, even if it is placed in the entire AVG category, it is very unique.

Although the background may not be the focus of everyone's attention, the depiction is still quite careful, especially some small objects and small details full of the atmosphere of the times, many times after being captured by a casual glance, the sense of atmosphere is immediately in place.

And the depiction of the characters is particularly excellent, both male and female are impressive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it perfectly fits our reverie for the image of ordinary people in that era. The femininity of female characters is often expressed through the slender figure, and the changes in uniforms and kimonos are undoubtedly highlights, just as the glimmer of light in the dark night brings a different charm, and often plays a role in changing the tone and relieving the sense of oppression.

In addition, some of the characters who appeared in the previous work will have a slightly more growing posture, for example, my sister Xiaozi feels that as she grows older, the childishness between her eyebrows and eyes is a lot less, and she is developing in a more dignified and peugeot direction, which should also make everyone quite happy.

In terms of art, there is also a point of praise for the depiction of the victim's remains (?), although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, but the combination with the limbs and blood is indeed strange enough, and there is a sense of perverted aesthetic charm, which makes people can't help but want to explore the murderer's way of thinking, and may be able to understand the murderer's aesthetic pursuit to a certain extent (?), well, this idea is very dangerous or stop there.

In short, with the help of the artist's skillful brush, the sense of instability that diffuses in the overall atmosphere is well expressed, and a solid artistic foundation is laid for the storytelling.

Events that are reopened

"The Girl in the Shell" begins with a strange commission from Fuyuko Kuchiki, who entrusts private detective Reito Tokisaka to "find her true self". At the same time, Reito also received an investigation commission from the Metropolitan Police Department's Search Division for strange crimes, as well as an investigation commission from the director of the private Sakura Hawa Girls' Academy, where her sister Shizaka Zi studied, for the disappearance of two female students. Everyone must have guessed where such seemingly unrelated commissions would eventually lead, but the amount of information brought was enough for players to digest for a while, not to mention what Lingren himself was carrying.

At the time, it reminded me of watching "True Detective Season 1" starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson a long time ago, which may be a bit slow but really enjoyable. In "The Girl of the Void", the technique has changed, because of the correlation of the plot, there is no need to foreshadow so much, but after a short period of seemingly inconsequential daily life, the incident was directly put on the table, well, the victim has adhered to the consistent principle of surprise, and it can only be said that the script teacher is really merciless when he sends a blade, and the fate of various characters is exquisitely manipulated.

And Lingren naturally participated in the investigation of the case, and it is difficult not to think about the ritualistic techniques similar to before, whether this is a parody crime or is there another reason, can we really look at this incident in isolation? Even though there is little hope of solving the unfinished business in the previous part, he has not given up and has been trying to pursue it, of course, we players also have obsessions.

As in the previous game, the seeds of tragedy have been planted behind the seemingly peaceful everyday scenes, which is one of the sources of the series of instability that I have repeatedly highlighted. Suffice it to say, as long as you can read it with your heart, the experience is particularly fascinating.

Have fun reasoning

Players who are haunted by mysteries will eventually need to rely on reasoning to solve them, and through point-and-click investigation of the crime scene, we can gain a lot of clues, which are crucial for subsequent analysis - but in many cases, there will be no obvious clues to collect clues, so you need to be patient and carpet to check all kinds of places.

And there are quite a lot of occasions for you to match the evidence, so it is quite necessary to have a general understanding of the case as much as possible, and it is best to be able to form your own rough line judgment, otherwise it will be quite a headache when the follow-up Q&A form of evidence is used, and it will take time to re-sort out the information.

"The Void Girl": Continue to move forward in this gloomy world

Sometimes the Q&A in the previous work feels quite inexplicable, and at first glance it may seem that there will be multiple pieces of evidence corresponding to the question, and even if the scope is further narrowed down, there will be at least two or three that look like that. It's not easy to figure out the only right option, and if you don't want to exhaust it, you need to think more and find the most directly relevant ones as much as possible, so that you can feel a stronger sense of accomplishment.

It's OK to save a file if necessary, but it's definitely not okay to archive one step at a time, after all, there are too many variables in the process, especially when it comes to choosing the place you want to go to on the map, it's completely up to your own judgment, and if you really want to read the file once a day in each location, the game experience is absolutely poor, and whether you can insist on completing the game is a problem.

Therefore, I would also like to remind new students that when playing any of the works in the series, you may wish to change your mindset and move forward in a more positive "curious baby" mode (?), and try to exert your subjective initiative after encountering setbacks. Don't read spoilers, guides, or anything like that early in the game out of curiosity or something else - although this series is really complicated, and it is indeed necessary to read the guides, it is recommended that you at least push it yourself first, whether it is good or bad, and then reach an ending first.

Knock on the bowl and wait for the girl of the sky

Like the previous work, there is nothing to find fault with the graphics of "The Void Girl" and the script, and if you have experienced the previous work and feel very tasteful, then there is nothing to say, just continue this detective process in the Showa period. After having experience with the previous game, everyone should be familiar with this rhythm and be able to maintain enough patience. As for the new students who are interested in this work, they still have to evaluate a little whether they can accept the more heavy ketchup and hunting plots, and whether they are suitable for the plot interpretation of group dramas.

Although we're controlling Lingren, it's not always around Lingren's perspective to play the game, and the narrative of other characters and events is quite long, and there are many characters on the scene, and you need to look at the "relationship map" from time to time to straighten it out, and each chapter also has an insertion of the Riddler (?). Especially at first, it must be confusing, but when the puzzles are gradually revealed, I have to sigh at the genius of the script teacher, there are many things that are predestined at an earlier point in time, and what we see is more like a fateful and exquisite performance, I think this is the charm of the series.

In addition, because the correlation between the works is still relatively strong.,So no matter how anxious the new students are.,It's recommended to start with the first "Shell Girl".,Otherwise, it's really a big loss if it's spoiled.,In fact, this work has the plot of the previous work.,Well, although it's just a relatively brief word, it's basically all that should be said.,I believe you regret the probability of 100% after reading it.,You'll be eager to have an initialized brain (??)。

"The Void Girl": Continue to move forward in this gloomy world

After the end of "The Void Girl", I look forward to Bai Zhou being able to arrange "The Girl of the Sky" as soon as possible, and the remake of "Prison Moon Mania" can also be put on the agenda. In the impetuous moment, Innocent Grey led by Mr. Shancai Mizuhime still adheres to the concept of slow work and meticulous work, which is really commendable, and I hope that the Steam version can help them expand the influence of their works and bring enough benefits.
