My Child is Online!

I didn't really have a child, don't worry, but this project I've been working on is basically like a child to me. If you've been reading my previous posts, you may have heard about this Period Cube fansite I've been working on recently. After spending many, many hours on it, it's finally online.

I had been planning to upload it to Neocities from the start, but then when I went to put everything on there, it told me I couldn't upload my custom font unless I paid, which I completely understand. It was hard breaking up with the font, but in the end, it doesn't really matter. It was only used on the navigation bar and the title. Plus, I can't really complain because Neocities is such a great service.

The site doesn't really have too much on it to be honest, but I just wanted to be the one to make a fansite for an otome that isn't really too popular in the West. It was never my favourite game, but I had so much fun reviewing it that I wanted to make something for it. Also, I just needed an excuse to make another website. It's fun making something for a franchise so niche and unknown!

I'm typing this so fast, there's going to be loads of errors. Oh well.

That's me done blogging for today. All I wanted to do was advertise this new site. See you all later!

A Journey Through Period Cube's Bad Endings: Part Three

This will be my final post on Period Cube, unless a fan-disc ever comes out and I review that. Like the title says, I'll be going through the last two bad endings I have and basically just writing my thoughts on them.

Let's get started, shall we?


(Oh yeah, beware of spoilers down below!)

My Last Period Cube Review

Previously on Misty's Blog: I completed all of the Period Cube routes required and wrote long reviews on them. Eventually, I managed to unlock the final one, Poyo-Poyo's. Will this one be better, worse, or as good as the other ones? Read the review below to find out, and like always, beware of spoilers!

A Rubbish Review of Hiroya's Route

Previously on Misty's Blog: I went through two more Period Cube bad endings, and they weren't as interesting for me as the ones I had done first! At that point, I had only two more routes to go, Poyo-Poyo and Hiroya's. I was actually quite excited to play both of them, and not because it meant that the game would be over.

.............................................................................................................................................................

I finished Hiroya's route, but I fear that my memory of the plot is going to be as bad as it was in the last review I wrote. Ouch, my cat just bit my arm whilst I wrote that. So, let's get into the review before I forget everything, shall we?

(Don't forget to watch out for spoilers!)

A Journey Through Period Cube's Bad Endings: Part Two

I'm back on my journey through Period Cube's interesting bad endings! This time I'll be reviewing Libera and Zain's endings only!

I don't really know what else to say before I start, except to beware of spoilers!

Zain's Route: A Crappy Summary/Review

Previously on Misty's Blog: I played about four Period Cube routes. That was all I did. Oh yeah, I also did some bad endings too. Now, as you all expected me to, I started my fifth route.

...................................................................................................................................................................

Hello, everybody! I've just come back from finishing Zain's route. It was... interesting, I suppose. I started it on Friday and then took a break from it for most of the weekend, so the first few chapters aren't that fresh in my mind anymore! The route summary I wrote down turned out to be a bit jumbled up and out of order because of this. Also, if there's a bit of a disconnect with the screenshots and what's written, it's because I'm writing the post first because I can't plug my PS Vita into my PC at the moment, and then adding the images later. Sorry about that.

Don't forget to beware of spoilers!

This Could've Been Better, I Suppose...

Previously on Misty's Blog: I completed my third Period Cube route, Libera's, having very strong opinions about it. Next, I decided to make our MC fall in love with a very trashy angel boy with absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It sounded like fun, because I usually quite enjoy characters like that...

..............................................................................................................................................................

Yes, I decided to do Demento's route.  I had heard some very bad things about him in the past, so naturally, that made me very excited. But it was so short, it only took me around an hour to finish it! It feels like he was never meant to be a proper LI in the first place and was just added in as a hidden extra route just because. Oh yeah, I also somehow got the bad ending even though I tried really hard to get affection points for him. There was one time where I didn't get any and I thought that it wouldn't matter, so I didn't bother correcting them or nothing. I'm going to be writing about both endings in this post instead of saving the other one for my bad ending reviews. It's just so that I don't forget what happens by the time I go to write it.

So, are you ready for the insanity that is this route?

(Oh yeah, there's spoilers down below so don't look if you care about that stuff!)

Libera's Route: A Very Long Review

Previously on Misty's Blog: I made my way through two of Period Cube's bad endings and discovered that they were actually quite a bit more interesting than the happy ones. Then I began the common route again and landed on Libera's route. I had absolutely no excitement for it whatsoever, but could it turn out to be actually interesting?

A Journey Through Period Cube's Bad Endings: Part One

Yes, I know I literally wrote my last post an hour ago, but there was something really cool I wanted to write about!

This is technically a companion piece to my other three Period Cube posts, so if you haven't read them or played the game yet, I would highly recommend that you do!

I decided to go through the "Merry Bad Endings" for the two routes that I've already completed, because they come with CGs and trophies! They were both a lot longer than I thought, and a lot more complex than the simple "you made one wrong choice so now you're dead" endings. I wrote "Part 1" in the title for this post, because I'm planning to go through all the other endings like these later on. I used this walkthrough for these, in case you were wondering. Each one requires low affection to land on and they branch off from the normal story at Quest 7.

So, what did I think about them? Scroll down below to find out, and beware of spoilers!!

This Review is Very Long....

Previously on Misty's Blog: I pulled out my PlayStation Vita again and started to play a very interesting otome game called Period Cube. After breezing through the common route, I some how managed to land on a route by only making three choices! After completing the first route (review can be found here), I went back to the common route. Guided by the "skip to next choice" feature, I made some random dialogue choices until landing on the route of another attractive love interest...

Now, after spending a few days completing it, it's time for the final review. Beware of spoilers!

Hmmm.....

Well, I just finished my first Period Cube route. It was good, but I feel like it was too short. I'm not really sure if that's criticism or a compliment. I did read before going into this game that it each route doesn't take long to complete, so maybe I wouldn't be feeling this way if I hadn't have heard that first.

What If Sword Art Online Was an Otome Game?

I know I promised in the last post to write my final thoughts on Diabolik Lovers once I had completed it, but I really can't be bothered. I really enjoyed the game, but it feels like I've been playing it for years so I'd really like to move on now.

Today I started Period Cube. It's basically almost exactly the same as Sword Art Online, but instead of having big breasted anime girls as characters, there's just a lot of bishounen instead. Even though it sometimes seems a little bit too similar to SAO, I'm actually really enjoying it.

I'm actually halfway through a route even though I only started to play it today. It's probably because I was playing it without the sound in public most of the time and because the common route is super short, probably the shortest I've ever seen. I'm a bit sad that I've missed out on some of the voice acting (I hardly actually know what my chosen love interest's voice sounds like!) but it's like that with other games, I can't listen to the voice acting 100% of the time, because I don't like carrying headphones around. If the game's completely in Japanese though, I'll bring my Earpods and listen to the voices because it helps me understand it better.

Period Cube just happens to be based off of a drama CD series that I haven't listened to. I think that I might be tempted to try them out, maybe on YouTube or I could just buy them. I dunno if there's a fan-translation for it though, so I might not be willing to spend money on them until my Japanese improves.

Anyways, since I've played enough of this game now to form a basic opinion on it, what do I think so far?

Keep in mind that as usual, this post is just going to be a random dump of thoughts.
