Is it not a galgame?

The game officially starts, and the opening is an animated CG.

In the warm dim light, a girl in military uniform followed another tall young man, walking in the market one after another.

However, the girl stopped when she passed a roadside stall.

After walking a few steps, the major noticed that the girl beside him had not followed, so he turned around and asked:

"what happened?"

"It has the major's eyes," Violet raised her head, "the same color as the major's eyes."

A turquoise brooch, as deep as the sea, was lying peacefully on the stall, but when it was taken in a close-up, it was refracted by the light and showed a gorgeous color, which was a bit dreamy.

The next moment, the major's face appeared in the camera.

With the same deep green eyes.

After hearing Violet's words, the major's eyes changed slightly, as if he couldn't help but want to cry the next second.

Violet gently held her chest with her hands and said uneasily:

"What should I call the feeling that emerged when I saw this?"

……

The music flows slowly,

The color of the brooch is like a whirlpool, gradually changing.

Then an emerald green forest formed, and above the dense jungle, there was a clear blue sky and beautiful clouds.

……

The camera suddenly turned. One second it was a peaceful and lush forest, and the next second it turned into a battlefield filled with artillery fire.

The bullet hit the metal car shell and made a crisp sound.

A group of soldiers are charging into battle.

Among them were Major and Violet.

Soon, this group of soldiers fell into a dangerous predicament, and the major, Violet and others were surrounded in the cathedral.

The bullet hit the major's abdomen, and blood spattered.

In order to rescue the major, Violet killed an enemy soldier with her left arm as a sacrifice, and then she had no bullets to shoot; in order to avoid the enemy's grenade, she used her right hand to protect the major and was blown into the corridor, thus losing her right hand.

The start was so tragic, and it was just an opening animation. Yamada Masaharu was completely shocked.

isn't it?
Is this really a game?
Who wrote this script?
The heroine lost her arms at the beginning?

Oh, he suddenly remembered, no wonder Violet in the initial main interface and official PV was a pair of robotic hands.

Everything is explained now.

but……

In such a short few minutes but full of infinite tension and drama, Masaharu Yamada saw the major's concern for Violet and the bond between the two.

Even a little worried.

War is indeed cruel, and this is not the first time pokeni has made a war-themed game, but it is really rare that it can reach this level in the beginning.

Good thing...

The major should be the male protagonist, right?
Yamada Masaharu breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he is the male protagonist, he will not die. Otherwise, how can the story continue in the future?

This is just the beginning.

It should be that when making pokeni, some difficulties should be deliberately created so that future games can continue.

Hmm, that must be the case.

After dealing with several enemies, Violet carried the major's body and walked step by step towards the passage of the church.

At this time, it can be described as despair, waiting for reinforcements for a long time, not even knowing whether he will die next moment.

Even Violet was bleeding without an arm now.

If this continues, both of them may fall here.

but……

The major's body was too heavy and he tilted sharply to one side, falling to the ground.

"Major!"

Violet shouted.

The major forced himself to sit against the wall, his fingers hanging down, and he looked at the blond girl in front of him with difficulty, "Run away! Leave me alone...run away!"

"I will definitely! I will never let the Major die!"

Even with her teeth, Violet bit the major's clothes, trying to drag him to a safe place.

Seeing Violet biting the major's clothes desperately, Yamada Masaharu almost burst into tears.

Do you want this, pokeni?

Was it so sensational from the beginning?

Thinking of this, Yamada Masaharu quickly climbed to the side and picked up the game disc and took a look.

Sure enough, the supervisor is [Qing Zhiyuan], actually Qing Zhiyuan?

No wonder I said it looks so familiar?
It turned out to be the producer of "Mushi Master", and it was precisely because of the "Mushi Master" series that the name Qing Zhiyuan was brought back.

Now when we come to "Violet Evergarden", Mushishi's sense of déjà vu is too strong.

Violet let out bursts of impotent rage, biting at the Major's clothes, but couldn't move them at all.

However, the blood on the major's chest had soaked through his clothes, and he looked like he couldn't survive.

"enough."

Major whispered.

"no!"

"That's enough!" the major roared.

Tears flowed down his face, fell to the ground and mixed with blood, and then crawled down the steps.

Under such circumstances, Violet also burst into tears.

"Major..."

"Stay alive!" The major raised his head with difficulty and looked at the beautiful little girl with long golden hair in front of him.

"Violet, you have to live...live freely."

"I truly love you."

"Love...what is love?!"

The girl cried sadly, repeating the same words over and over again, "What is love?!"

"I don't understand! Major!"

Artillery bombardment caused rubble to fall from above the entire church.

The major summoned up his remaining strength and rushed forward to hug Violet.

Earth and rocks flew.

The screen suddenly went black.

The music stopped abruptly.

……

"What the hell?!"

Yamada Masaharu's heart skipped a beat.

isn't it?
Major is dead?

Did he die in the opening CG?
The hero is dead?
Can you believe this? !

What the hell...

Yamada Shoji fell into a huge shock, completely stunned by this wave of operations by the old thief Qing Zhiyuan. Isn't the old thief Qing Zhiyuan too inappropriate?
Good guy, how could anyone issue a knife at the beginning?

Moreover, this knife is really extremely sharp and can catch people off guard.

……

what is love? !

pokeni did not give a clear answer. After that, there were only a few gorgeous transitions:
In the starry sky, the Milky Way shines with charming light.

Time flows, shining like a river.

The person's green pupils have the same charming whirlpool-like light...

It felt like I was back at the beginning, telling Violet that the brooch looked like the major's eyes.

……

Beauty is quite beautiful.

And it’s particularly artistic.

But Masaharu Yamada really wanted to hack Qing Zhiyuan to death.

……

Then, the girl with long golden hair slowly opened her eyes.

The camera zooms out to reveal Violet lying on the hospital bed.

There is a white light all around.

The girl's long golden hair was spread on the bed like seaweed, and her whole figure looked like a blooming flower.

Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw her appearance.

The pokeni drawing of girls is really amazing, and the brushstrokes this time are obviously more delicate.

He feels that with this kind of picture quality and style, he can watch it for a year, and he can enjoy it even if there is no plot.

Clearly seriously injured, the girl raised her hand and let out a low moan.

It was only when her hand was shown on the TV that Masaharu Yamada noticed that it was completely wrapped in gauze.

……

"Major Gilbert, today is the 102nd day of hospitalization."

"My physical strength has mostly recovered."

"Even with a slight mobility impairment, you can still perform your mission."

"Requesting immediate return to mission."

……

At this point, the scene has switched from the opening CG to the real-life game.

The transition is quite natural, which is also the animation rendering effect that Pokeni is proud of. After two generations of Mushishi's continuous progress, it can now be done quite delicately.

Yamada Masaharu controlled the heroine to sit up from the bed, walked around the hospital for a while, talked to the nurse next to her, and roughly learned that a man named Hawkins would pick her up today.

People who know Violet habitually call her "Weapon". She is a girl with the appearance of a girl. She fights when ordered and has no emotional experience. It can even be said that she is just a "prop" used in fighting. .

And just after she got better, a man with red hair found her.

Lieutenant Colonel Hawkins, a former soldier of the Redding Scheftrich Kingdom, is currently the president of C·H Postal Company.

He is also Violet's guardian.

……

Violet was wearing a light blue European-style dress, which was completely different from her original image of a soldier.

At this time, she showed the unique side of a girl.

Although she still didn't know what human emotions were, in terms of the appearance of the girl herself, Violet was too outstanding.

I don’t know why, but Masaharu Yamada saw the shadow of my king in her.

But there is a big difference.

If the two are similar, they probably have a cute image with blond hair and blue eyes. Coupled with the light blue-based clothing and pokeni's usual painting style, it gives people a special impression.

However, if you want to say it is different, the difference is quite big.

Violet was obviously taller, and the expression on her face was different from her usual habits.

There is a lot less of my king's unique determination, and a little more confusion.

But sometimes she is very determined. Violet's determination is reflected in her obsession with the major.

In Qing Zhiyuan’s game settings:
No matter what, I want to return to the Major. The meaning of my existence is to find the Major and complete my mission as a [prop].

More importantly, the Major was the one who gave her new life on the battlefield.

Before the major was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he shouted "We must live and find the meaning of existence." 】

I hope she can survive as a new human being.

This is the major's love for her.

I also hope that Violet can find the meaning of love so that she can respond to herself.

……

After that, Violet followed Hawkins to his postal company. There were several girls in this company who were called "Automatic Note Dolls" and specialized in helping others write letters.

When I first arrived, I happened to meet an illiterate guest who wanted to send a letter to the girl he loved, so the automatic diary doll Cattleya Baudelaire wrote a letter with it. Letters that have a friendly tone but also have deep feelings [expressing thoughts and love].

The letter ends with "I love you".

Upon hearing this, Violet was suddenly shaken.

She said that she also wanted to find out what love was, so she hoped that Hawkins would let her stay and become an [Automatic Memoir Doll]. She hoped that in the process of conveying love like this, she could understand what the love that the Major said was.

So under such circumstances, Hawkins agreed.

The game can be regarded as opening a new chapter.

……

Violet Evergarden gameplay,

A bit like the future "Dave the Diver",
It's just that "Violet Evergarden" replaces fishing with collecting entries.

It is equivalent to turning Violet's thinking process into a boundless ocean of entries.

This is also based on the Japanese drama "The Story of a Boat".

In "The Story of a Boat", the male protagonist played by Ryuhei Matsuda is an editor who devotes his life to compiling a new dictionary "Daduhai".

Searching for terms and sorting them into dictionaries, my whole life has been spent doing this kind of work.

One person's life is one dictionary.

There is no limit to the word sea, but he and his fellow editors have to compile a boat that can cross the sea in such a vast ocean, so one of the scenes is——

Matsuda Ryuhei felt overwhelmed by the vast ocean formed by countless entries, and was completely out of breath.

The inspiration for the entry is "The Great Crossing the Sea", but Qing Zhiyuan used the expression method in "Chongshi".

This mischievous style of ink painting has entries with distinctive personalities swimming around like fish soaked in ink.

It is in this sea that Violet does her fishing work.

It can be said to be quite poetic and romantic.

There is no need to manually type the process of collecting entries, writing letters, and writing letters. Instead, it will be automatically activated after the entries are collected. If the entries are not collected enough, the activated letters will also change and the evaluation will be different.

While writing letters, you should also deliver them so that each other's feelings can be conveyed to each other.

The main body of the game is divided into two parts:

One is to capture entries, and the other is to earn rewards by writing and delivering letters, and then continue to upgrade through the money earned.

After playing this, Yamada Masaharu couldn't help but admire him.

I originally thought it might be a boring game, but I didn't expect it to be quite interesting.

More importantly, in this city, it is up to the players to decide what kind of commissions to accept, what kind of people to find, and to discover their respective stories. Only time is passing by.

It has a high degree of freedom and openness, and at the same time, everyone has a touching story.

This makes Yamada Masaharu very satisfied.

what……

Except pokeni.

It’s really hard to imagine any other game company being so bold and making games to this extent.

This is probably what Qing Zhiyuan calls a slow game, right?
