I love this game!! 🥹 - The voice acting is GREAT, not only the love interest ones, but all the characters too! To be honest, I bought this game just because I saw that Kenjiro Tsuda was voicing one of the LIs, heh. - The art is GORGEOUS; I couldn't help but screenshot every CG I saw even though all of them were in the gallery after seeing them once. - The soundtrack is good, but to me it wasn't memorable apart from the good ending song (絶えざる花 / MAKOTO), which I listened to way too much... - I liked the bad endings way more than the good endings (I yearn for angst) , because they were all GREAT and well written. Nightshade's story basically branches to two slightly different storylines ("a" and "b"), so my route order recommendation to avoid major spoilers is: a) GOEMON > HANZO > KUROYUKI b) CHOJIRO > GEKKAMARU And lastly, my thoughts about the routes without spoiling it too much: Hanzo's route: Slow burn and healthy relationship! What I like the most here is how both of them learn and grow with each other, all that made love flourish in their journey, making them better individuals. Enju's character development here was really good; this is the only route she fought and stood her ground; in the other routes she was just there to be protected by the LI. The way they fell in love with each other felt so natural, I loved it so much :> Goemon's route: Super fun, cute and wholesome! Goemon is too sweet, I felt warm and fuzzy inside and couldn't stop smiling at his good ending. I wasn't expecting much cuz flirty LI love interests aren't my first choice, but Goemon's actions made the romance in this route feel really mundane, I enjoyed it very much! Gekkamaru's route: Filled with angst and devotion. I felt so emotional throughout the whole route (I cried a lot) and by the ending, I just couldn't feel much, I was numb even to the good ending, which was bittersweet because of everything that happened. Everything was just so unfair. Kuroyuki's route: Yandere. I'm not into characters with this type of personality, but his background for explaining why he became obsessed with Enju is just tragic and well written, that made me sympathize with Kuroyuki. The route is very enjoyable and heartbreaking, it has a great finishing to one of the branching storylines. I especially liked his Bad Ending just because my heart was destroyed when I realized what was happening :') Chojiro's route: I don't know what to talk about this route, I do understand the struggles Chojiro went through, but I didn't sympathize with Chojiro at all, the story felt bland to me and I basically played through with my mind blank. I don't really know if this route didn't really add anything to the plot (apart from a bit of info on the other characters) or if it was because this was my last route. But yeah, this is the only route I didn't like playing.

I really enjoyed this otome. It's one of the better ones I've played imo. I'm not an otome connoisseur by any means, but I've played my fair share. Cons: 1. WHY DOESNT TOKUGAWA HAVE A ROUTE??? These devs really put this beautiful man in this game with the sweetest voice just to tease us. I played through all the routes and unlocked everything in the hopes it would unlock a Tokugawa route. Massive disappointment. 2. Writing: The MC is the typical lame damsel in distress the majority of the time. She has her moments of being a hard worker and sucking it up, but for the most part she's weak, in the way and winy. I dislike MC like this. I love being saved by a knight in shining armor as much as the next girl but I hate when the main character is a burden the whole time -_- 3. The choices don't really matter much. Either you pick the right one or you don't. Not much else to it. This is a minor con for me though, as I feel like most otome are like this. 4. A little uncomfy: (Trigger warning) Kuroyuki's route is a bit intense and really sad. I didn't dislike it. I like when games have dark/sad themes. But dude was just creepy imo. By far my least favorite route. Also, lots of age differences that could be potentially grooming? Idk I tried not to think about the older cousin thing too much with Chojiro lol. Or the fact that Hanzo is probably twice MC's age. Tbh Gekkamaru was the least problematic. So if you're sensitive to anything like that, just be aware. I still think the game was a lot of fun and this wasn't a big enough issue for me to not recommend the game. Pros: 1. Artwork is beautiful 2. Voice acting is impeccable. By far the best I've experienced playing an otome. Hanzo alone had me swooning fr 3. Writing: Each route is similar but different enough to make it worth playing them all imo. I also liked that this was pretty tame. Nothing spicy. I like a slow burn with low spice and that is also hard to find sometimes. 4. UI / options: The skip and quick save/load features are so good. A lot of these games don't implement them well or usefully so you still end up having to re-read stuff you don't want to and wasting a lot of time. After I finished the good endings for all the routes, I was able to plow through to the bad endings within an hour using these features. Overall I highly recommend the game if you like otome. I think Hanzo and Gekkamaru have the best routes, so if you only want to play a couple, I recommend those.

Excellent production with good art and story writing. The heroine was however very frustrating for me. The male characters really are the stars of the show.

i love Nightshade, but i'm also ridiculously frustrated with it as an otoge. i've played a few routes on Steam and a few routes on Switch, enough to get a sense of the overall storyline, and i've never played an otome that frustrated me equally as much as it endeared me to its cast and characters. the good: teita's art is absolutely gorgeous and all of the characters, including the side characters, are so well designed and have so much personality and effort put into their art, concept, and voice acting that it's impossible not to smile when playing this game. i laughed out loud at a few of the prompts and scenes that weren't directly related to the MC and LI, just the side characters getting up to antics that made the overall storyline feel much more cohesive and alive. the writing in some routes is just astonishing; Hanzo's route made me giggle and kick my feet and i don't usually like kuudere LIs lmfao the bad: what is this plotline ??? why is it so convoluted ??? why won't Kuroyuki stop talking about how we shared a breast ?!?!??!?! Gekkamaru's route (which, arguably, is the canon) reads like a bad melodrama and i love him so much but i can't get over the constant plot twists and sudden events going on everywhere. at this point Goemon is my favourite just because you don't have to get involved with whatever is going on and can just skip town with a cute boy. overall still a really worthwhile otoge to play, with lots of cute scenarios. please let me date Ieyasu i am begging please

Beautiful game. There's a good variety in the routes with some being more sweet and others more tragic. Enju is a great protagonist and I love seeing her develop along with the love interests in each route. Hanzo is the best <3
