※This review contains some spoilers.

Another domestic visual novel new release that fits the trend has been released.

It is <My Unique Streamer!>, which is about internet broadcasting.

To briefly explain the synopsis of the game,

It depicts the story of a job seeker protagonist who actually meets a small-time VTuber he enjoys watching.In the process, the protagonist meets other internet broadcasters, and each of their circumstances are gradually revealed.

그 과정에서 주인공은 다른 인터넷 방송인들과도 만남을 가지게 되고 각자의 속사정이 점점 드러나게 됩니다.

I played the game with the cheeky imagination of what the realistic appearance of my favorite streamer outside of broadcasting might be like, something I might have imagined at least once,

and a secret relationship between me and the streamer that viewers don't know about.

The visuals are a pass!

Basically, the Live2D (Spine animation) effect makes it feel lively, which was good.

I especially liked that the effect was applied not only to general standing illustrations but also to CGs.

It was easy to immerse myself in the game because the characters' expressions, gestures, and outfits were diverse and changed to suit the situation.

And personally, what impressed me was that the production is unique.The point is.

The above is a scene from an episode in the game where the streamer female lead participates in a large Minecraft server.

It was nice that the actual background was filmed directly in Minecraft and inserted into the game, making it look like you were watching a real game being played.

I liked that even the mini-games were designed with the screen configured to match the concept of each game.

On the other hand, while most existing visual novel games tend to consist of point-and-click mini-games,

this game was fun because of its active nature, where users can directly control the character and play.

In addition, I liked the details such as decorating the main screen like a computer wallpaper and the chat going up like a broadcast screen when the characters appear to be broadcasting.

But the most important story...

*From here on out, there will be direct spoilers about the story, so if you haven't played it yet, we recommend going back.

To put it bluntly, the story is very, very disappointing.

I'll break down the reasons into three main categories.

1. Incomplete stories of each character

First, let's summarize the background of each character.

Protagonist - Job seeker, succeeds in getting a job in the middle of the story, but is worried because people in the department ostracize him

Ha Eun-bi - Small-time VTuber, started broadcasting to practice conversation due to her timid personality

Cha Eun - Streamer who used to be successful in the past, on indefinite hiatus due to some incident

In this situation, if you think about the story development or ending of these characters, which is obvious but generally expected,

Protagonist - Overcomes the ostracism of people in the department, shows his skills, is recognized, and succeeds, or moves to another company and does even better

Ha Eun-bi - The number of viewers skyrockets due to participation in a large server, and gradually trends upward, and her conversation skills improve.

Cha Eun - It is revealed that the incident was unfair, and interest in the comeback broadcast increases, and then maintains hot popularity

That's the standard and neat way to go, but when you actually play this game,

Protagonist - Romance ending with no mention of the company story at some point

Ha Eun-bi - Romance ending without any broadcasting narrative following participation in a large server

Cha Eun - Even though it's been a long time since she's been on the air, she broadcasts as naturally as if she's been broadcasting all the time, and the incident is resolved like a happening, and then a romance ending

Because of this, I felt strongly that each of their stories felt incomplete, the ending of the story was not clean, and only questions lingered.

2. Sudden romance narrative

Of course, if you look at the beginning and middle of the story, you can see that there are many situations where the protagonist and the female lead accidentally have skinship, which lays the groundwork to some extent,

but as the story progresses, there are more blatant skinship situations or a sudden expression of affection for each other, which felt rushed.

The titles and honorifics for each other were also described as changing like lovers at some point.

Especially in Eun-bi's ending, there were episodes and CGs that were too focused on that, which made me feel repulsed.

Overall, it felt like they became lovers without the common stage of flirting, so I think this part needs to be supplemented.

3. Some skipped settings

While playing the game, I strongly felt that some story-important parts were skipped or missing.

Even though I didn't skip the story while playing, there was a line that the protagonist was suddenly caught faking a headache,

or you could find out on the in-game SNS that the protagonist's workplace went on strike,

or Cha Eun suddenly reveals why she left the broadcasting industry at an unexpected time, etc.

I wondered if I had missed something in the story, and there were many parts that made me wonder.

On the other hand, Cha Eun's conflict episode was an incident that caused her to take a break from broadcasting for several years,

but she happened to meet the perpetrator in the game and fought, and another broadcaster broadcasted it, causing the other person to fall from grace and resolve... well,

I think the conflict appeared and was resolved too weakly.

As such, regardless of whether the story is good or bad overall, I got the impression that many parts were empty, and as a result, I felt that the completeness was very lacking.

And to add one more thing, the story in the large Minecraft server was the main focus in the mid-to-late part, and the pace was long, which made it boring.

Conclusion

"If it's a visual novel but the novel is disappointing, hmm..."

The visual aspects were really good, but I was disappointed that the story became disorganized and unfinished as it went on.

The developer has announced that the story before the ending is being supplemented,

and I think the evaluation will change depending on whether the story is completed to some extent when I play it again at that time.

let's play CF!
