Una pequeña historia que me flipó
Sunshine in a bottle.
Rarely you spot a game that looks really different, a real-time rendered visual novel, each dialogue made into its own scene, a little diorama for each moment, it really sticks with you and makes reading it a joy.
I would say that some times the way the anime style is adapted into 3D can make the faces seem too long, Ashley's being the most obvious. Despite that it manages to create amazing and beautiful scenes with its tools.
The writting is generally excellent, you feel a voice here, these characters breathe more than you expect them to. Biggest issue is probably all the "quirky" moments, I have no issue with pop culture references or a small derail in the tone, I would say these "cringey" moments don't feel enough like part of the characters themselves but the writter getting bored.
But it doesn't happen often, and the rest of the experience is something that sticks with you, I know it will stick with me.
"It might not be good enough for heaven, but it's good enought for me".

"Não é tarefa fácil ser crítico de uma Visual Novel. Tendo em consideração que o género gira à volta do enredo torna-se complicado criticar sem estragar a experiência. Dito isso Necrobarista – Final Pour é dotado de uma história excelente, atingindo notas muito altas na sua discussão filosófica sobre a morte, atenuadas pela leveza da excelente escrita humorística que acompanha o prato principal. Ainda assim, apesar de não ter destacado na análise principal, Necrobarista tem alguns problemas (não críticos) de desempenho em modo consola. É também de lamentar a ausência de vozes, assim como escolhas no diálogo ou finais diferentes, qualidades características do género. A juntar-se a isso estão os extras interessantes mas pouco cruciais na decisão de uma compra. Porém não faças confusão: se gostas de uma boa história, Visual Novels e um estilo que transpira animação japonesa então Necrobarista – Final Pour é compra obrigatória."

the only thing this game made me (metaphorically) cry over is the fact that i didn't understand what the fuck was going on at any given time. great visuals though
this is the most australian hipster ass video game ive ever played and im fucking here for it
I'm excited to see what this team puts out next. This was messy, but interesting. Could've cut down on the "quirky always online" jokes. Honestly, the "Walk to the Sky" DLC was the best part of the game, the part where I actually felt deeply. Still though, this dev team shows so much talent, and I am excited to see what they do next!
