Description
- Let’s Make This a Yuritopia! -

Kokonotsuboshi Girls' Academy of Commerce, a school built on the site of an old castle, known as "Shirojo." Toomi Yuna spends her time here on her own, until one day her lunch on the roof is suddenly interrupted by a pair of ghosts.

Enoki Sachi, who died in an accident before the war, and Nagatani Megumi, who died of illness thirty years ago. These "kindred spirits" died with unrequited feelings in their hearts, met, and fell in love. They hold an ardent wish to experience their "first time" together before their eternal rest...But they don't know how.

The two haunting spirits enlist Yuna to help them foster more "yuri" couples at the school, to assist girls struggling with their hidden feelings, and with the hope that their successes will help them glean the insight they need.

Kindred Spirits

Kindred Spirits is a very light read compared to most games in the genre. The main narrative is of a loose-structured format. After reading a set of main event scenes, you have to backtrack chronologically to see that same time period through the perspective of the different secondary characters. I found this format to work well to flesh out the characters. You often get to hear their own thoughts, and see new, or parts of existing, events in which the main character never took part. Unfortunately, the loose format also brings out my main negative of the game: there is a good amount of shared text and dialogue. I am not very fond of re-reading scenes in visual novels. In other games, with a more common narrative, different game routes often share complete scenes with the exact same text. This makes it easy to simply skip the entire scene. But this is not applicable to Kindred Spirits as the shared scenes contain new content based on which character's perspective it plays from, that I would not like to miss. I very much enjoyed the artstyle. The characters and CGs all look amazing. However, the character sprites are mostly fixed and lack the expressive variety seen in bigger titles. The music begins to feel repetitive quickly, but I never found this to be a problem as the two main background tracks, in addition to being very catchy, fits the game well enough that I started looking forward to them starting up again. The story and reading experience of Kindred Spirits can only be described by me as pure joy. I was hooked from the start and had a blast playing through it, even with the shortcomings. I think the low-budget feel even enhances the immersion. I doubt the game would have been as good if it had the same budget and quality as one of Liar-soft's mainstream titles, like Gahkthun.

Let's Make a Yuritopia!

In Kindred Spirits on the Roof (KSR), your main character is an everywoman named Toomi Yuna. One day, she realizes that she can see two spirits atop the roof of one of the buildings at her school. They talk, and she learns that these kindred spirits cannot move on until they solve their last regret: they have never had sex. Oh, and -- being two women -- they don't know how. Your task over the course of the novel is to make a yuritopia by indirectly helping a number of your classmates explore their feelings and desired, in the hopes that these spirits will learn what they need and be able to cross over. Mechanically, KSR is a very interesting take on the visual novel genre. The game has you select scenes from a day planner, and saves automatically after each scene. First you go through the main scenes in an arc (marked by bears), then go through supplemental scenes dealing specifically with the girls you are helping from their perspectives. Once you've gone through all the supplemental scenes, you unlock another main scene. Repeat until the game is over... then you unlock extra scenes which flesh out the characters and their motivations more. Being a yuri visual novel, KSR has a number of sex scenes. These scenes are uncensored, but note that they are softcore in both their illustration and their narration. You get a couple illustrations for each of the seven couples in the game. Also worth mentioning is the sheer amount of food porn; even though the food is not illustrated, the descriptions of the various items were making me hungry as I played the game. There are a few drawbacks. KSR was originally released in 2012, and so the resolution of the images is low compared to more recent games. The game is notoriously laggy after it's been open for a while, and (unless you go for the Full Chorus DLC) it's only partially voiced. That being said, it is still well worth your time and money. I'd say 4.5 stars out of 5, for sure.

It's been about time...

...that GoG started to expand their portfolio of visual novels. That's still a genre where it's hard to avoid steam if you can't read Japanese. Idk the sales numbers, but the audience is there and it's very active considering the many projects on kickstarter etc. Good for the quality of new games. That said, there's still a long way to go until GoG catches up. @elmusafir: This is supposed to be the mangagamer version, which I own. It is voiced. @prudes&homophobes: just go where you belong.

Loved the characters, not the plot

Being a visual novel, it's hard to review this in detail without spoilers. I wanted to like this game. I thought the concept was interesting, and after reading reviews elsewhere, I decided to take the plunge. The characters struck a chord with me right away, and for the first two-thirds of the game, I was enjoying it. However, the last act lowered my opinion of the game. I'm not sure that one of the later relationships was seeded well enough, and the ending seemed... a bit weird. I don't regret my time playing it - and I bought both the drama CDs and the manga so that I can spend more time with these characters - but I'm not sure I can recommend it very strongly.

Quality SoL visual novel

Very simple and cute but good. I hope the full voiced version is uploaded too when it gets released.
