Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 333 237. Because I don’t have it, I long for it

In the latest issue of Famitsu's new game review, the editors commented on "Proposal Battle" like this:

"The game continues the tradition of Pokeni, with excellent painting style, exquisite picture quality, ordinary but distinctive character settings, and gentle and sad music, which together constitute such a unique game work.

In terms of quality, pokeni's games deserve to be of the same high standard as always.

The reason why I say it is strange is because this galgame is different from the previous one.

It almost puts the ending at the very beginning of the game, and then allows players to change it by going back to the past.

I believe that players have all had similar experiences. When they reach the ending of BE, they are always reluctant to restart the game and try it again.

This game directly amplifies this psychology and makes it the main line of the game.

So in the game, what we will experience is a process of how to change the ending of BE.

It's like playing a game within a game, which is actually very interesting.

From a structural point of view, the heroine is very distinct, and there is only one. This can be regarded as an old tradition of P. In pokeni's previous works, whether it is Mermaid Heart, Reverse Degree, Your Name... basically Very clear single female protagonist.

Games with a single female protagonist are actually quite suitable for girls to experience, especially this "Proposal Battle", which is highly recommended for female players.

Because what you will experience is not just a game, but also our youth.

From a large-scale perspective, this work seems to be just a typical time-travel game.

However, I feel that splitting the time-travel into sections that aim to reverse the heroine’s feelings at a certain point in time makes people look forward to each time-travel.

People are constantly curious about what event will they travel for next time?

Moreover, unlike other time-travel works, the time-travel in this work can be said to be a 'failed' time-travel in a sense, and the specific content will not be spoiled here.

In short, after experiencing it, I myself was moved countless times.

You can always find traces of your student days in the game.

Those scenes that are similar but slightly different are really like rewinding our memories.

Finally, I think it is the game script author and the director of the game, Mr. Qing Zhiyuan, who wants to convey to us the most.

That is, ‘We can only change so much of the past, and changing ourselves now is the most important thing’.

It is a very meaningful, positive, yet touching youth inspirational work.

Hope you all like it. "

"First-class picture quality, first-class music, first-class storyline... This is pokeni's galgame, and "Proposal Battle" is also such a work.

The companionship and love between the hero and heroine's childhood sweethearts are very touching.

Another thing I like about it is the resonance it brings to me about my boyhood in the ordinary.

I don't view this game entirely as a pure love game.

Because in addition to the emotional line, there is also the friendship and family affection of the protagonists in their childhood.

Sometimes, when you look back and think about it, you find that it is not just your lover, but also your friends who accompany you.

Friendship is also something worth cherishing. "

“The plot setting in the game may seem ordinary and everyday, but it makes it easier for people to immerse themselves in it, because it represents the youth of most people, and there is some liveliness and surprise hidden in the ordinary and trivial.

Just like the teenagers in this game, they, like most of us, have things they love at that age.

Take baseball, for example, but their results were mediocre. They even failed to pass the preliminary round of the Koshien qualifying tournament, but this did not prevent them from pouring all their enthusiasm into it.

In the world of teenagers, there is no question of worthiness or impossibility, only whether you want it or not.

This is what this game shows us as youth.

Although ordinary, it is full of hope and longing for the future without losing motivation. This is the greatness that an ordinary person can achieve.

The same goes for love in the game. The male and female protagonists are ordinary high school students, neither academic toppers nor scumbags, famous student union cadres, or maverick and unconventional troubled teenagers. They are extremely ordinary. So ordinary that we seem to see our own shadow in them.

Cherish the present is the most sincere advice Mr. Qing Zhiyuan conveys to us through this game.

In short, after I finished playing this game, when I opened the window and saw the sunshine outside, my heart was filled with infinite power.

The past is beautiful, but tomorrow is also worth looking forward to.

However, you still have to grasp the happiness of the moment.

I hope players can also benefit from it. "

…

Although several editors gave it high ratings, indicating that the quality and plot of this game are indeed good, the final score was only 27 points.

Not even qualified for the Platinum Hall.

But this is also an old tradition of P Club.

Without gameplay, you won't get high scores just by acting.

Players actually don’t care much about this anymore.

Seriously, pokeni is the first person to change people's inherent understanding of Famiton scores.

Although Famiton's evaluation is very representative, the rating seems to be not that important to P Agency.

…

After the release of "Proposal Battle", the sales volume in the first week was less than 50,000 copies.

For pokeni, this is a decent result, and I’m not sure whether it can break the million mark.

It is very likely that it will eventually fall on the order of 600,000 to 800,000 copies.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's estimation, there may be a huge wave of popularity after the follow-up TV work of the same name to "The Proposal Battle" is aired.

The reason why the sales volume this time is not so good is not that it is not good, but that it has not become a hit. The reasons analyzed by P agency's operating department in the questionnaire are nothing more than the following reasons:

First, Qing Zhiyuan's supervision and script are definitely not as appealing as Furuhara Chunqiu or Ma Zedajun.

Fortunately, Ishino Mika is the producer, so the basic results are guaranteed.

Secondly, when I saw that the PV was about marriage proposals and it was a very typical single-female protagonist model, I actually conducted a certain amount of player screening.

Many galgame players are actually quite young and may not have experienced such a beautiful love time.

The consumer group is still mainly office workers in their 20s and 30s.

These people have the deepest feelings about the game, and thanks to their high spread, the game eventually achieved good results.

For Qing Zhiyuan, this result is actually very satisfying.

He didn't panic at all.

Because the real king is TV works. As long as the new works of Takashi Kashiwahara and Yuki Uchida are broadcast, there will be a wave of fantasy linkage, and sales should increase by a big wave.

Even if the game fails to break through the 1 million mark, success in film and television works is still acceptable.

Pokeni is meat, and moon river is also meat.

You make money no matter what.

Winning twice is a huge win.

…

"Proposal Battle" is a galgame that is loved by players. Although it may not be the most outstanding work of P Company in terms of sales performance, it is undoubtedly one of the most topical and discussed games.

The game has attracted such widespread attention and resonance in large part because it touches on a deep emotional pain point for many people.

Who hasn’t had a crush or two during their school days?

Who doesn’t have fond memories of childhood sweethearts?

Who has no regrets in life?

I believe everyone has thought about these questions at one time or another.

And these regrets will eventually turn into a cup of fermented old wine, which will only become intoxicating after being opened.

"Proposal Battle" is just such a work that can arouse people's deepest emotions.

In the game "Proposal Battle", there are many female players.

Although sellers currently do not have statistics on the number of men and women, judging from the number of female players speaking in the official forum, this ratio should not be small.

This also reflects the appeal of this game to female players.

Because of this, many people say:

"Proposal Battle" is not only a galgame, but also everyone's youth.

This youth is the same for men and women.

It reminds people of the good times and also makes them think about their emotional lives.

They hope that through this game, they can regain their original intention and find their true love.

Of course, everyone's emotional experiences and stories are unique.

Some may find their answers in the game, others may keep looking.

But no matter what, pokeni provides a platform for players to talk about their emotions and share stories.

This is also an important reason why this game has become a topic of discussion.

Many players even started to contact their first love after playing "Proposal Battle"...

Even if it’s a former crush.

The main reason is that I don’t want the regrets of the past to become eternal pain in the future.

It may be more of an impulse, but it is also the result of being moved and stimulated by the story of Ken Iwase and Rei Yoshida in "The Proposal Battle".

As for whether they can finally find their original intention and find true love, that is their own story.

…

"Huh? I didn't expect pokeni to unlock a new mode of galgame."

After playing "Proposal Battle", the president of the Elf Club, also an imitator of pokeni and a little fanboy, Hiruda Masato once again gained new insights.

It turns out that the touching galgame can win the hearts of players, but this time it goes in the opposite direction and "Proposal Battle", which changes BE into HE, can still win the love of players.

To some extent, "Proposal Battle" resonates more with players.

In other words, even if it is a sweet love story, from tragedy to happy ending step by step, such a game is actually quite suitable for galgame.

"Maybe this little sweet galgame model will become mainstream in the future!"

…

At the same time, at Nao Tsuda's home.

Tsuda, who had just cleared the level, stood up silently and looked back at the man behind him with a smile.

"Jiyuan-kun, thank you for producing "Proposal Battle" for me."

"Hehe, as long as you like it."

"To be honest, I was very touched. Especially the part about Mr. River and Miss Moon." Nao Tsuda said.

I don't know why, but when Tsuda spoke, Qing Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat.

I always feel like my tone is a bit unkind.

Moreover, the other party's eyes were extremely sharp, as if a sharp knife was going to cut Qing Zhiyuan open and analyze him carefully.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but take a step back.

"Um...really?"

Why don't I believe it? If you were moved, wouldn't you shed a single tear?

Next, Nao Tsuda suddenly changed the subject.

"But...why do I always feel like it's not a story between the two of us?"

Isn't that right?

These are all copied from other people's "Proposal Battle".

But does Qing Zhiyuan dare to answer like this?

He didn't dare.

And took another step back.

"Um...listen to my explanation."

Qing Zhiyuan broke into a cold sweat.

The original intention was definitely to make a proposal gift for Nao Tsuda, but if you press me like this, it makes me panic, okay?

"I think so."

Qing Zhiyuan thought and responded, "Everything in the game is actually what I imagined——

What would it be like if Nao and I knew each other since childhood. "

"Really?" Tsuda Nao tilted her head and put a finger on her chin in a cute way, "But why do I think you are recalling your childhood sweetheart?"

"Really," Qing Zhiyuan raised his hand, "I swear to God, I am really not writing about my childhood sweethearts, and I don't have any childhood sweethearts."

After traveling to this world, the student life the original owner experienced was actually quite ordinary. Even if he did have a female classmate, there were also similar childhood sweethearts.

However, those memories lacked reality for Qing Zhiyuan.

When I traveled through time, I was already 26 years old.

What Qing Zhiyuan did before this has anything to do with me.

Nao, you are the first and only woman I came to this world.

All my memories of beautiful love are created with you.

"What would happen if Nao and I could have known each other since childhood? What would happen if we went to school together? How to express my feelings to Nao... These are all things I have thought about seriously."

"It's precisely because I haven't experienced this with you that I look forward to it." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Really?" Tsuda Nao looked at Qing Zhiyuan seriously, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Good guy, I'm breaking out in a cold sweat.

Qing Zhiyuan felt that his back was wet.

Is that the expression on your face that clearly says "I believe you are a ghost"?

However, Tsuda Nao did not continue to ask, she just came over with a smile and kissed Qing Zhiyuan on the face.

"Okay, let's eat."

"Really." Qing Zhiyuan said distressedly as he followed behind her.

"I know, I believe you." Tsuda Nao said with a smile.

What a fox!

…

In the evening, Nao Tsuda took a shower, put on her pajamas, and lay on the bed reading.

After Qing Zhiyuan finished washing, he climbed into bed silently and sat for a while. He said to his wife next to him:

"Everything I said this afternoon is true."

"I know." Tsuda lowered his head and turned the pages of the book.

"I'm not lying to you. If I could do it all over again, I would like to spend my school days with you and be together very early."

"I believe it."

"Really?"

"really."

Tsuda Nao put the book aside and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in a funny and angry way.

Then he reached out his hand and gently touched Qing Zhiyuan's face.

"I have believed you for a long time, because I feel that if these contents are what you have experienced, then they cannot be done so blatantly.

No matter how generous I am, I will definitely get angry when I see my husband miss his childhood sweetheart in this way. "

"Yeah." Qing Zhiyuan nodded sharply.

"So," Nao Tsuda smiled and looked at him with blurred eyes, "then what you said is naturally true, Mr. He, you really want to create a memory from scratch with Miss Moon.

This really touched me. "

"Really?"

"Really." Tsuda Nao nodded.

Unknowingly, there were tears in her eyes.

"Then let's create some beautiful new memories." Qing Zhiyuan rushed towards her.

"Never."

Tsuda Nao's faint laughter could be heard in the room.

"Turn off the lights first!"

"Never!!!"
