(Spoilers down below.)
That was the most tragic, dramatic, and heartbreaking otome route I've ever played. It would've made a great conclusion, I should've left it to last.
Hikage's backstory was so sad and even though he became a crazy murderer, I still felt pity for him because of what he went through. Then poor Usagi died, and it was also really depressing. Whilst I was playing it I laughed and acted normal and happy to everybody around me, but inside I was a bit sad. The voice acting was really good in this part, you could really feel the emotion whilst the characters were talking.
I still expected a happy ending, but no, Hikage shot himself. I was in shock. I didn't cry, because I don't cry for fictional characters, but during the credits I had my head in my hands. I felt a bit like how I did when I got the normal ending the first time I played Hakuoki, when all the Shinsengumi all died. You just feel shocked and a little bit awkward.
Then there was something after the credits. The last CG had an image of a boy and a girl who looked kind of like Usagi and Hikage, so maybe they're not really dead? There's no sequel or fan-disc, so we may never know the answer.
We never learn their real names, either. Unless Hikage is really called Hikage. But I wonder what Usagi's real name is?
What a tragic love story. It still wasn't as dramatic and crazy as the new Riverdale episode I watched earlier. That series is just so weird now.
Hikage might even be my new favourite character, or my favourite route. It's weird, I went from liking him to kind of hating him to loving him again. He's the main love interest of the game, so it is very strange that Otomate decided to kill him off.
I've officially decided that this is now my favourite otome game. That means it's even better than Code: Realize and Hakuoki. Everything's just so amazing. It's funny because I was a bit skeptical of the game at first.
I'm still a bit shaken up over Hikage's death. I suppose he did need some punishment for doing what he did, but I wished that we'd at least get another kiss CG out of him before the end. Now I have all of his and Usagi's CGs, but not of the others yet. Tomorrow I'll get to completing it all!
See you tomorrow!
