In fact, I could even say that it heavily inspired me once I got done reading. The key word in this route is perseverance and it presents itself so beautifully. Despite having no plans whatsoever, this girl goes out there with a smile on her face and ready for all sorts of opportunity. Diana seamlessly stares at what she’s done so far and says to hell with it all. What’s interesting to note is what happens once the floodgates open. You know how these stories go - they’re always complacent until the bubble pops. With Diana, she isn’t the only one embarking a journey: you’re coming too, as you witness a girl go from just your average fangirl into something more precious and down to Earth.ĭiana’s route in particular intrigues me because of what’s presented in the Aquadine common route: a girl who metaphorically is in the trenches and dealing with a very strict parent. Jokes aside, Diana is the life of the party and beyond all emotional struggle, she always seems to put a smile on your face. But is that all there is to it? Being the heir to the most popular café in town comes with a price, you know? Follow along for a journey of self-discovery a journey that details the grueling pains of uncertainty and self-doubt - otherwise known as your traditional high school years. With her you’ll see the story of a hard-working schoolgirl just trying to live her best days while she can. Here we are with Diana, whom you’ll first meet as an adoring fanatic to Robin’s more cheerful personality. He has a wonderful supporting cast by his side. However, like I said, Robin doesn’t grow by himself. There’s very few main characters that fascinate me to a similar degree. No matter how silly or serious, it’s like his two personalities are finally blending and make him a tremendous overall character.
Just as you think you’ve seen all of him, the writing continues to make him grow with every interaction. Throughout the story, I see a man constantly dealing with his own emotions. Think about it: how would you feel to know you’re both the most popular man in town, while also being the city’s biggest disappointment? While I’ll omit the details for the sake of a spoiler-free review, he’s got more to worry about than just public opinion. Robin’s a very peculiar main character for many reasons. However, before we continue, let me enlighten you with thoughts as to our dear gondolier. Interesting to say the least, but we still have more stops on this trip. For now, you’ll enjoy a story of a man both living as a commoner and the city’s most popular celebrity. The roots of his story go rather deep and hit you in the feelings quite severely. But to clarify, it’s not as simple as dodging the fans. But what brought about such a confusing lifestyle? Why, it’s nothing illegal or shameful to be giving tours, especially when you have a majestic voice. Our main character doesn’t have it easy, masquerading as a nerdy student by day and prominent tour guide in the evenings. The first on our list shall be the man with two lives to live, Robin. So sit back and relax as I take you through the city’s vibrant personalities. The information can get a bit overwhelming, so I will be your tour guide. Just as you learn about the characters, you’ll come to see that this background is more than it seems. The city bears many mysteries and folklore that’ll intertwine with the fate of our characters. But Aquadine isn’t just a stage for characters themselves to shine. Drawing clear inspiration from the wonderful city of Venice, readers will quickly find themselves in love with the scenery before the characters get a chance to speak. For you see friends, Aquadine is the name of the beautiful city where it all takes place. The first thing that’s going to capture the eyes of the reader in this story is the setting. Now it’s time to answer the age old question: How does it hold up to such expectations? There’s several reasons why Aquadine sat at the top of my most anticipated visual novel list. I’ll finally see for myself what kind of story will await me. Honestly, opening this game for the first time in a year is surreal.
#Aquadine shower parts full#
I remember all the magic from the demo and the juicy information from the interview that filled me with hope for the full release. Hard to believe that such an amount of time has passed already.
To clarify, I interviewed the head of the studio about a year ago. The extravagant project from the team at SoftColors is finally here after so long. When you live in times like these, you look forward to many wonderful things like Aquadine.
