Ha sido una exploración rápida y sencilla. En un primer momento me impactó el hecho de que se realizase en mitad de la pandemia que estamos viviendo actualmente, cosa que en un principio no me agradó del todo pero al final las obras se influyen por momentos drásticos en nuestro día a día y es una experiencia que estamos viviendo.

A veces tememos por perder a nuestros seres queridos. Nuestros familiares, amigos y lo que más apreciamos, nuestro supuesto verdadero y único amor. A new life no te meterá embrollos como el cortar una relación por engaños amorosos o por dramas, es más una exploración en las preguntas que nos hacemos con el y si no habría conocido a esta persona o hubiese hecho esta acción. Se nos presentan al principio un enamorio adolescente del cual depende qué palabras y acciones tomas que acabaran en un matrimonio feliz con una amarga despedida pero con rayos de luz en el túnel. Puede ser depresivo para algunos como he leído, donde quieren jugar a algo que les anime, no que les deprima. ¿Pero acaso no hay juegos donde, aún habiendo partes felices, también tocan temas delicados o tristes que nos hacen reflexionar? Soy una persona que le gusta experimentar, a veces quiero desconectarme jugando a juegos que no le tengo que dar mucho al coco y otras veces quiero ver cómo un grupo de personas dedican su talento en crear una obra para recapacitar y pensar sobre nuestro entorno.

Puede aparentar bonito porque su arte y su banda sonora sea cuqui y bella, pero no quita que en la realidad, aún creyendo que es bonita, puede abrir un lado con tonos grises y apagados donde tenemos que soltar nuestras lágrimas. Es un juego que te consigues los cinco finales más o menos en una hora dependiendo de si lo estás haciendo rápido o lento pero el mensaje sigue estando ahí. Hay que afrontar algunos dilemas como la muerte o la posibilidad de perder a alguien que podría ser la persona perfecta como amiga o como pareja, hay que seguir adelante y luchar por lo que queremos. Es bueno llorar, es bueno pensar dos veces en x situaciones y replantearnos si lo que hicimos estuvo bien, mal o como todo hay una variedad de grises en donde no se puede juzgar tan fácil. Lo recomiendo sobretodo para aquellos que quieran investigarse a unos mismos, no creo que sea de mis juegos favoritos ni por asomo, pero por la época en la que estoy pasando ha aportado su granito de arena y me ha hecho ver la vista atrás y animarme en seguir en adelante.

Angela He is probably most known for missed messages. (another novel in a similar style). Before playing a new life., check this one out — it's free and will give you an idea whether you will enjoy He's works.

a new life. is an emotional story about a relationship and learning to let go. It's very short, so don't expect any serious character development or anything deep, but you still should be ready for heavy feelings incoming. I went in sceptical, as I always do, and at some point found myself almost crying. And just as the previous work, this novel's art is gorgeous.

If you like novels, especially about wlw, this is a must-have! Since the price is low enough, you don't even have to wait for a sale.

I liked this better than missed messages, if only because I felt like the characters had more time together (because they did) they were introduced better and their relationship felt more developed than before with the protag and the roommate who I had no prior knowledge on and kinda felt like I was forced to accept they knew each other while also the in game story was like, a day long?

I liked how this game showed you where you 'messed up' with the highlight on the chapter select, which made it easy to try again instead of having to replay the entire game. I also kinda wish the art for the hospital scenes scaled with their ages, but I also understand that making more and more assets for a game with this detailed of an artstyle is difficult.

Life can be cruel and unfair. Things sometimes don't go as planned or you constantly feel like you're running out of time, never getting to experience the life you planned out for yourself years ago. However, your choices, regardless of how small they might seem, have some sort of consequence, good or bad. And some of your choices can make life seem just that much more beautiful. There's that one song you have yet to write, the foods you still haven't tried, the friends you still haven't met who will stick with you for a lifetime. Love especially shouldn't be rejected out of fear you'll eventually be abandoned no matter what you do.

Love is worth experiencing despite the pain it might bring, so cherish the time you have together, be it platonically with your loved ones or with a romantic partner, for as long as possible. Sure, you may not hear these things for the first time, perhaps you're sick of being shoved poetic euphemisms down your throat. But these are all things a new life shows effortlessly with such beauty and authenticity, you can tell it was made with the experiences we've all been going through since last year in mind. It's precisely because of this that playing through it may serve as a much needed reminder to some of us that these things do in fact matter and we'll all have to confront them eventually, so why not go about it the right way?
