Another Visual Novel? Western?

Beautiful art, Amazing music, Unique gameplay, and on top of that, A FEMALE PROTAGONIST?!?! Full of win. Seriously

Shikkoku no Sharnoth -What a Beautiful Tomorrow- came out last friday and thanks to Panda (yes i did call you Panda) he introduced it to me and i gotta say, its awesome. Sure its not translated and yes i don't know the whole plot of this game (yet) but its just simply mind boggling (?). I mean im making a post dedicated to this. Thats gotta mean something right? >.>

All i know is theres a Black World, main character, Mary Clarissa Christie (the one with the mixed colored eyes), has a golden eye which appears to be very important, "The M" is interested in Mary, and the whole world is covered in Clouds. Yep thats all i know. Good thing there is voice dialog in the visual novel so i can understand a little on what is going on but other than these points, i have no idea whats the point lol.

And also Sherlock Holmes and Winston Churchill are also characters in here but i have yet to encounter Sherlock yet.

Whats unique about this visual novel is the gameplay like i mentioned earlier. Instead of fighting enemies, u're actually running away from them. weird isnt it? u have to find 4 fragments in order to pass the stage and theres 4 counters A/B/C/D which tell you have many spaces u are from each fragment. Its also turn based. To me its pretty fun since its a new concept plus running away from enemies is kinda of a challenge if u dont move in the right spaces.

Well thats all i really have to say about this game. Love the art (they need to make wallpapers), the music is awesome, and seriously...a female protagonist!


Baron Munchhausen. He just look badass.
