A heart shattering masterpiece of it's own kind. A story that you won't easily forget. That is the story that awaits you.

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!

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.

It feels criminal how underrated this game is, it really is something that everyone needs to play. It's three visual novels in one, all of them with the overarching theme of a taboo romance. They're all classified as cases, and when you first open the game you'll be thrust into a random one until the story progresses further - where things will start to be explained. Each case is amazing in their own right, with stellar art, music, and voice acting. It'll hit you in the feels over and over, before dragging you right back into another story to start again, it really is something special. As for the localisation and censorship, I didn't notice anything weird with the translation - which makes me think that they fixed it after its initial release. The lack of H scenes, and the revision to character settings and ages during case 1 is a bit jarring, primarily because you can tell it was revised. It's definitely not enough to hamper any enjoyment from it though, and there's an unofficial restoration patch you can find online if you want that. I played the game with it but it didn't make big enough of a difference for me to say you need it. You seriously won't regret reading this, it's an incredible experience that I'm glad I stumbled upon. It'll definitely stick with me for some time after this.

This game probably surprised me the most out of any VN I have ever played. If you think this game looks boring or stupid you're wrong. It was masterfully written in a way I haven't seen before, in that it isn't a game about "getting the girl" or anything like that. This is a story about humanity, and the will of a girl. It takes you through 3 "cases" or different stories as you slowly figure out what is actually going on. Incredible storytelling, music, characters that feel so human and real, and all of the heroines are voiced by the incredible Yuu Asakawa, the voice of plenty others in the game/anime world, with my favorite performance of hers being Rider in Fate/stay night. You will love the heroines, unique stories, and the atmosphere and science fiction elements it creates. Don't sleep on this game. If you hear bad things about the localization, just download the restoration patch.
