8.7/10 A little bit cringe in happy end of CASE 0 for my point. But voiced 4 characters by 1 CV was absolutely crazy. Steam edition added extra CG and tips system..., but deleted some loving scenes, because of the audit system. Great character building and music, love "いつかの白昼夢" BTW, is a nice story in the big picture. 世凪ちゃんスキー

Finished Cyanotype Daydream around 3 months ago and I realize I'm kinda late to the party. Nevertheless, if you haven't checked it out yet I implore you to go give it a try yourself, it's hands down the best VN I've read in at least the last 5 years. CD is unique in its storytelling as it features an overarching narrative and three sub plots that could all be smaller VNs of their own (I heared they were at some point). The sub plots are self contained stories that are also very significant to the main story's plot. I really don't want to spoil anything in this short evaluation but the many twists and turns towards the later half of the game (in the main plot) hit me at least as hard as a lot of the VisualArt's/Key works I've read. It's a nakige and plotge for sure but hands down one of the best I've ever read. The writing is superb and the two main characters are some of the most fleshed out and most human characters I've seen in a long time. They way the 4 stories interact with each other is nothing short of amazing. There's a good amount of genuinely funny comedy, heartwarming moments and drama that I am sure anyone can find something to like about. Something that really stuck out to me personally and elevates immersion and impact was the absolutely stellar voice acting. As the main heroines across the four stories share certain features they're all voiced by the same VA but are so distinct from one another that I could barely believe they share their VA. I hate giving ratings to things but this came as close to a 10 as it reasonably could have so... 9? 9.5/10? You get the gist: Go check out this absolutely phenomenal work of art!

ngl, i played this game on the restored ver till I had played it to completion before buying. first, i played it because I just curious about what's the fuss was in my friend group. i am skeptical about it but i wanna at least give it a shot. and what happened next was a beautiful experience, one of the best VN I've ever read. the story was not a complicated bullshit that you may or not experience in the average visual novel that over-explains a lot of unnecessary detail. it was a straightforward one I could say, yet the execution was on point. but at the end of the day, the localization was quite underwhelming in my opinion. So buy this game and apply the restoration patch to it. both the localization and the restoration version were good though. Neither of them is the best experience to play. it depends on your preference, so suit yourself which one you would prefer

I think Cyanotype Daydream is good... but with A LOT of asterisks. On a technical (I guess what some might call "objective") level it's pretty solid with likable, developed characters especially around the main protagonist and the main love interest of each of the 4 linear romance stories. The way everything is tied together, especially the setting, is pretty cool. CASE 1 through 3 are generally above average pacing wise for unique interesting love stories. All of them plus CASE 0 are interesting tragedies that are in some ways an improvement over many popular emotional nakige. Unlike titles by KEY, Cyanotype doesn't go too hard on being overly melodramatic to try to make the reader cry, with better proper buildup on having the characters' emotional scenes be more authentic and less "anime-like". While all the main heroines are interesting, Yonagi is pretty easily the standout, but it's admittedly unfair since she by far has the most amount of screentime. But when the "genki nice girl" can be popular even to people who don't like that archetype shows what happens when, once again, emotions are more authentic instead of just trying to be a bunch of anime archetype checkboxes. So where do all these "asterisks" come from to 'only' give this supposed masterpiece a 7/10? I'll use literal asterisks to explain: * Two of the cases having age gap romances made those stories more uncomfortable AND predictable, and therefore less personally enjoyable. It's especially bad with CASE-1 with a 30 Year age gap, and it got WORSE when you realize the context of it in CASE-0. * Some of the humor (what little there is) was pretty lame and repetitive. No, a femboy asking people to touch his weewee, a busty woman "femdom slapping" you and calling you a slave, and a 30+ year old woman calling people candy, peaches, and bitches isn't funnier the more you use the joke. * While I did mentioned Yonagi is the standout character her personality sadly got slowly shafted to be more and more of a plot device so it made her not as great as I'd hoped. * While I did mention it didn't fall into the trap of other nakige of being overly melodramatic... many times the emotional moments didn't hit as hard as they could have? Many times my reaction was more "oh that's interesting" instead of... feels. ** So while the characters' emotions I said are authentic, sometimes the emotional scenes end a lot quicker than I was expecting despite all the buildup. ** Similarly a lot of the emotional scenes don't hit for me since... a lot of the scenes were told through narration and monologues instead of... character dialogue. When all the main protags are not voice acted that also hurts. * Speaking of the writer Ono Wasabi relies too often on pace-breaking monologues, narration, and exposition in general. You have interesting characters, why not do the worldbuilding more though show over tell, instead of paragraphs of boring lifeless narration? * It's especially bad with a character called Asama in CASE-0. Any time he wanted to do his long sci-fi 'lessons' I wanted to be like Michael Scott from The Office (US) and yell "AAAAAhhh I'm gonnna KMS!!" It's unfortunate, I wanted to consider this a masterpiece like many do. It does a lot of unique things, has likable and/or interesting and authentic main characters, actually properly explains "nakige magic" in its own sci-fi way so the latter twists don't feel cheap, and overall has a solid message. It's just too much of the actual storytelling techniques annoyed me enough to only consider this a "fine" VN but nothing great. Still something I'd recommend but I would have include all the caveats I mentioned above. On a meta note, I think Ono and Laplacian got a little too much of a rush and arrogance trying to go all-ages as a company after this 1 title did pretty well. They should probably make another masterpiece title before trying to be the next modern KEY.
