Spring Breeze

Curses are a known concept all over the world and many people believe in them even today, amongst other things. In short, a curse is like casting a bad spell on someone, except it has repercussions over longer periods of time. None only that, but they also seem to transmit from one generation to the other, depending on what the person casting the curse intended.

Spring Breeze is an interactive visual novel in which you play the role of a young boy trying to sort out his life, except that his life is much tougher than you would expect. The game allows you to make many decisions over the course of the story, decisions that affect the ending and even a few events before that. Hence, it’s more like a role-playing game than a regular visual novel.

The story is pretty intricate as well, because it involves multiple characters and it combines events from both the past and the present. In essence, the main character tries to break a curse that affects three different families, but he can get severely hurt or even killed in the process. Not only that, but you also have control over his romantic options, as well as his future career.

Besides the fact that you can make different choices and watch the plot go in a different direction, the game also provides you with an extra main character you can play with after you finish the game once. Thus, you can see the events in a different light and even enjoy other side stories at the same time, given the fact that the other character is a girl from a wealthy family.

As for the graphics, the artwork is actually quite impressive, especially when it comes to the backgrounds and the landscapes. Every detail is beautifully drawn, and you can really let yourself imagine the story through your character’s eyes. There are multiple songs to choose from in the music room, although not all of them are unlocked from the start.

In the end, Spring Breeze is quite the surprising game, especially when it comes to the amount of content it provides you with. The graphics are beautiful as well, which is a very important element in the genre.
