You can help these people or you can destroy them. Do The Right Thing!ĭramatical Murder has some great characters that you will encounter as you progress through the game.
You are also coming to terms with this power and trying to find your place in all of this. So while you are trying to find out what is happening to people on the island, investigating this strange game called Rhyme. Aoba has this ability where is able to get people to do things just by the sound of his voice. I really did find myself liking Aoba and once you find out that he has some kind of power, he becomes even cooler. I really do think that the writing in Dramatical Murder is great. Not only that the ones that do return are “changed” this drags him into this mystery to find out what the heck is going on. This leads him on a journey where he finds that people in this place he lives are going missing.
While he is a nice guy, Aoba finds himself pulled into a game called Rhyme. He lives on a strange island that is owned by a corporation and unless you are one of the elite you have to live on the outside in really lame conditions. This has all the base content, however, it also has extra story content along with a fantastic back story for Aoba.Īs is the case with all visual novel style games, the story is the main focus here. However, while there is the base, Dramatical Murder game out there, you want to get the Dramatical Murder re:connect version. Pick The Right VersionĪs I mentioned this is certainly a game that is not safe for work and it has a mature rating for a reason. For example, the first time I played the game I went with Noiz and the setting of the game was drastically different from the next time I played through it and chose Mink. I think that this adds a lot of replay value to the game and it is interesting to see how the story changes depending on what you do. These people that Aoba comes across he can either help or destroy! The choices that you make will steer you in a particular direction and will end up with you pairing up with a particular guy. Like all other visual novel games, Dramatical Murder features a compelling cast of characters. It is also a case of finding out about Aoba himself. It is not just a case of finding out what the deal is with this game Rhyme and what is happening to people. He starts off as what feels like an average guy, but you learn that he has an “ability” where he can manipulate people just by the sound of his voice. The storytelling in Dramatical Murder is fantastic and I found Aoba to be a very interesting character. Aoba gets pulled into this mystery that lets him not just find out about what is really going on, but also meet interesting people.
People in his town start going missing and when they return they are very strange. As a result, the residents like Aoba are forced to live in extremely cramped conditions.Īoba is pretty easy going, but he gets drawn into this extreme game called Rhyme. His world is made more complicated by the fact that the island he calls home has been bought by a corporation who have privatized the island. Aoba is your typical guy who just wants to get by. The main character of this visual novel game is Aoba. I will say that there is a version of the game for the PlayStation Vita that has a lower age rating and has the sex scenes removed along with the violence and blood toned down. It does not hold back either and if you are put off by homosexual love scenes or love and sex scenes in general. Let me start by saying that Dramatical Murder is a boys love game.
