  Bloody Chronicles is a muder-mystery/thriller visual novel and certainly delivers on that part. The mystery is well written and the religious influence and symbolism well researched. The big twist towards the end however was forshadowed a lot, so that if you aren't completely new to mysteries, you're gonna see it coming a mile away. That said, this game is only the first of a trilogy, so the kinda obvious twist might not be what it seems to be, since the story can change in the following 2 games. The characters are all well written with their own personalities and quriks, so that the slice of life and comedy part of the novel is also very entertaining. The soundtrack is also really good and fitting for every situation. The only complaints i have are, that the novel does not have a backlog (or i was too stupid to find how to open it...), meaning that if you click too fast or want to re-read a line, you have to either reload a prior savegame or just continue without it. Also it does not give a notebook. This can sometimes lead to confusion, since you investigate a serial killer and obviously a serial killer has multiple victims. So when the cast talks about one of the victims you may sometimes find yourself wondering wich of the victims they are exactly talking about. A notebook with some notes to the cases/victims and maybe other characters you have met could've prevented that. HOWEVER i will also say that this was only an issue at the beginning for me and the more the story went on the more you got used to the names and everything. The third and last complaint i have is, that the game ends on a cliffhanger. I know it's a shiity complaint to have and yes i knew beforehand that this is the first game of a trilogy, so it's also kinda unfair to complain about but still... It does end kind of sudden in the middle of the climax and there is no release date for the second act yet so only buy this novel if you don't mind playing the waiting game. All the complaints are just minor though. Overall the game is really good. If you are looking for an engaging mystery with well written characters that keeps you entertained all the way through, you found it. I will also say that i played a lot of time in offline mode so steam didn't count the correct time, it takes longer than 18 hours to finish, probably more between 25-30.

  First, I will say this game has its good points. The music is decent and the UI is well-designed. The background and main character art is nicely done. It's clear that a lot less effort was put into secondary character art but since we don't see it much it's not a big deal. However I think that it really suffers from poor writing, and I'm not talking about the grammar and spelling problems because I know that they're being fixed. The plot has potential but the writing just seems really amateur to me. The dialogue doesn't feel realistic but I didn't find it interesting or entertaining either. A lot of it is corny and many of the emotional scenes feel shallow or contrived. I also feel that the writer really underestimates the reader at times. There are things that are evident but that are explained in detail. For example there is a "secret message" found at a murder scene that I think almost anyone would understand at first glance, but one of the characters explains how she figured it out as if it was a super complex and clever puzzle. There's another part where a character has to explain to the main characters, who are detectives, the difference between knowledge and wisdom. And like other reviews on here mention, the twist is heavily hinted at even from pretty early on. I think that they drop far too many hints, some of them really obvious. Maybe it's intentional but it takes away the best part of a murder mystery. And overall I think that the writing and presentation in general is lacking in style. Being that this is a text-heavy game, all of this really ruins it for me. It's not a terrible game but I don't think it's a good one either. If you want a great serial murder mystery VN just play Chaos;Child.

  Bloody Chronicle - New Cycle of Death is the first episode of a three part interactive story. The first thing is that graphic work is on point ! Characters are beautiful, so are backgrounds. This is excellent work of prime importance for an interactive story. In addition, Igrasil has some talent for writting good characters and bringing them to life ! I spent 18h on the game and felt really attached to them. Their psychology and dialogues are excellent making me really tried to learn more about each of them. Everything is not perfect, of course. Some moments are quite unexpected for a story taking part in a realistic world, and the fact that the protagonist already has a decided personality prevent the player to have as much influence as you could wish. But the more we progress, the more the story intrigue... In the end, I was really hooked by the plot ! And if the dialogue choices are not as numerous as one could wish, the actions we choose have a real impact on the story and uncover entire new chapter from romance options (well written again !) to entire new scenes. To sum up : this game has great graphics, intriguing story, various content and very well written character bourght to life with an excellent voice acting ! For a first work, Igrasil show real promises and I am eager to discover more about this game and their future work ! So yes, overall, I recommend it ! good job here ! =)

  PROS: + Interesting and well paced story with nice mixture from Detective and murder-mystery, to comedy and slice of life; + Characters you'll love to interact and have a fun time with; + Choice making: . You will see different cutscenes and learn information you wouldn't get from other option; . You raise affection with characters, later in the game you get a bonding event (safe content don't worry) with the character with highest affection [spoiler] (i got Akito on my 1st playthrough, not even mad) [/spoiler]; . All decisions and affections carry in next games (ACT 2 and 3). + Good voice acting (my personal favorite is Akito bro); + Good art style and cute chibis; + Nice Soundtrack fitting the current cutscene; + Backlog to re-read dialogues; + Rollback button, i really like this one because having an option to go back to previous dialogue, if i happen to skip it by accident, is more convenient than loading a save file. CONS (The game is in Early Access so it's mostly bugs than issues): - Minor wording; - Most lines from 3 side characters aren't voiced later in the game; - The OST goes silent for a bit in the last crime scene in the story, it returns after a while though. First playthrough of the game goes between 25H to 30H if you're curious. However i suggest you do a 2nd playthrough (you can skip dialogue towards next choice making) and check out the other choices you didn't make. It's interesting discovering information, which i did not get to know on my 1st playthrough. Another note there is upcoming content on the way including Adult Content [spoiler] oh my how lewd [/spoiler], and DLC that will come out when it's ready. Overall i really enjoyed Bloody Chronicles and i'm looking forward to how the story continues, and i definitely recommend it if you're looking for a great visual novel.

  Painfully Childish, if you expected something a little more dark, intense, serious, interesting. You'll be disappointed. If you expected a cookie cutter anime like setting, with 4 kids playing detective. You've got exactly what you are looking for.

  If you like awesome characters with unique characteristics and love breathtaking Detective/Mystery stories, then this is the right game for you. But like every game there are some cons. But first to the positive points: [b]Pros[/b] + interesting story + well designed backgrounds + awesome and good looking characters + amazing design + choices that have an impact on the scenes you see + romance + great soundtracks + wonderful voice acting + side stories [b]Cons[/b] - some minor bugs are present - Aktio showed too little reaction at the end To sum up I think it's an awesome game that is worth it's money for everyone who likes exciting Detective/Mystery stories. However you shouldn't expect too much action in this VN.

  Came back to write a short review because the overall review of this game has surprised me. I was looking forward to this game before its release, being quite a fan of VNs in general. The game was a disappointment. I have to admit I didn't play through it. The writing is really bad. The language is rather... amateur and the structure isn't great. The game just drags and drags and can't get to the point. I started skipping a few hours in, hoping it will get better, but it didn't. So I stopped playing. Can't remember much of the plot but I don't recall it being anything stunning. Certainly not enough to make this game playable despite the writing. Can't recommend.
