Dec. 2024

as someone who got all the endings and read all the logs and hyunae/mute dialogue, this game is a mixed bag. hyunae is a beautifully written character and her struggles are realistic and make you feel for her. the gameplay is unique and fits the sci-fi atmosphere quite nicely. it deals with so many important themes such as patriarchy and the way it affects the small community on the spaceship, dooming them all in the end and causing their downfall. however it is not without its issues, especially considering how flawed every single ending is. it fails to deliever its final message the way this game deserves, throwing it all away to turn it into a dating sim. it feels disappointing after such a compelling story to just end it with dating the ai waifus. the odd homophobia of mute is also interesting, especially the way the game critiques the relationship between hana and oh sojin, who suffered so much only to keep getting disrespected by both ais. I liked that it made sense for mutes character but also the game allowing you to date mute and trying to justify her words feels rather icky. not saying the game is fully homophobic, after all it allows you to date hyunae as both a man and a woman but I dont think the story of oh so-jin got what it deserved. it is not a bad game, just a bit confused on the direction it wants to take. if it just concentrated on the lore and the story it would be amazing but who knows, maybe we can get something like that from the developers in the future

Is like watching a traditional Korean drama, but is set in the future. The story is fictional, but the setting is based on an actual historical period in Korea, which is the Joseon period. It was not a great time for women to say the least, and the story got that part perfectly. You will experience two female perspectives in the game, one represents the modern/contemporary way of thought, and another the traditional/obedient way that women were subjected to in the Joseon period. Is quite a contrast to see the two perspectives, and through each side you will slowly uncover the truth and backstory behind the characters, and eventually all the pieces will connect, and the shocking revelation will leave you speechless. It might not be a best-selling novel, but is certainly a worthy read. Without spoiling anything, like any VN there is a true ending, and is kind like cheating to get it in game(but is totally worth it), please do experience both 'normal' endings before trying the last one, you would feel much better afterwards. The story continues in Hate Plus, and it reads your final save file from this game, so the ending actually 'carries' over to the new game, is a very nice touch by the developer, so get Hate plus if you can for the full experience.

Great story, really showed me more than I was expecting it to. I'd recommend having a notepad open for this one if you want to really get the full story, but I managed to eventually connect everything without taking notes, by the end.

I quite enjoyed the story. I don't have a lot to say about it, except that going through the logs and discussing them with the AIs was a great vehicle to control the flow of information. Quite good.

Analogue: A Hate Story impressed me with it’s depth but at the same time that was almost it’s undoing. The two main things you will be doing is interacting with one of the ship’s AI and going through records and diary entries of various people trying to piece together what happened onboard. The AI were both great to deal with and my favourite part of the game was chatting with them. The logs and other entries had incredible depth and even included detailed family trees. They were very dry however and by the end I was just skimming them for important bits instead of reading every word like I started out doing. In visual novels I prefer to move the story forward and to be interacting with people through dialogue so this part of the game was a slog for me even though i can appreciate the effort put in by the developers. It’s not like I don’t enjoy similar concepts. For instance I enjoyed Her, Daemon 9, Jessika and others which all included going over logs as part of the main game mechanic but at the same time these were video logs rather than written. There was one more area of the game I didn’t like and that was a timed mission. The game gives you what I felt was a good length to complete your tasks but still I have never, and will never, enjoy timed missions. I also didn’t enjoy using the terminal. My main issue with it is the lack of realism. One thing I like about using the terminal every day in real life is that I mainly use the same commands and can use the up arrow to simply cycle through past commands but the in game terminal lacks this feature and I have to type the commands in full every time I have to use them which made it more of a chore. I played Analogue on Linux. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any spelling errors. There were however other issues. The game would not work properly with more than one monitor. If I chose full-screen mode the game would try to stretch across both of my two monitors. I had to run the game in windowed mode to be able to see everything properly. I suspect if the developer upgraded to a newer version of the Ren’Py engine this may have been solved. You can manually save whenever you want and there are sixteen save slots. Game Engine: Ren’Py 6.13.11.1715 Graphics API: OpenGL Disk Space Used: 132MB CPU Usage: 3-8 % RAM Usage: 3.5-3.9 GB It may sound like I hated the game but that actually isn’t true. I really enjoyed the story and the AI characters. So much so that I was willing to put up with the things I didn’t like to push on. It’s tough to say I recommend the game because that is borderline but when it’s good it’s really good. I finished the game this play through in two hours and thirty six minutes. My first play through lasted three hours and fifty four minutes. The current normal price for the game of $12.99 CAD isn’t bad although an even $10 would be better. My Score: 7/10 My System: Intel i5-12600K | 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15 | Intel UHD 770 | Mesa 23.0.4 | Western Digital Black SN850 500GB | Trisquel 11 | Mate 1.26.0 | Kernel 6.7.9-gnu
