Infinite Game Works Demo

Visual novels give you the chance to live someone else’s life and control it fully, especially when it comes to the big decisions. Hence, whether you help your character choose his or her life partner, or change careers in the blink of an eye, everything is up to you. However, some background intrigue is required as well, otherwise the choices don’t really mean anything.

Infinite Game Works is one of these visual novels and it aims to provide you with a fascinating story about a high school student and his hobbies. Just like in most other games in the genre, your job is to engage in repetitive tasks, talk with other characters, and try to increase various skills along the way, in order to unlock certain options and advance the plot.

Story-wise, you play the role of a young video game developer who wants to release his first creation, but a lot of creative work is still required, not to mention programming. You have to help him study more and choose between work or pleasure, in order to respect the deadline and achieve your character’s dream. As it happens, two girls join you to take care of different parts of the project, including art and music.

There are various skills you can improve along the way, such as programming, music, and drawing. You can practice them during the week, but they take a toll on your social life and on your health. However, it is also possible to buy books and use various other methods in order to increase your abilities, although they are pretty rare.

Visually, the artwork is about as colorful as you would expect, with the usual anime-style graphics and drawings. Big eyes, crazy hairdos, and interesting outfits are all part of the deal, which should please the oriental culture fans. The music is a tad annoying and rather repetitive, but you can get over it with ease.

Infinite Game Works may not constitute brilliance in storytelling, but everything about it is just good enough to be enjoyable. Hence, if you are a fan of the genre and you do not mind the rather slow game pace, the title is definitely worthy of a try and at least one playthrough.
