Misadventures of Laura Silver is a good virtual novel detective game, alrighty then let's get into the story. The legendary Vodnik a terrifying creature from Slavic mythology said to drown its victims before taking their souls and putting them into jars, this creature has supposedly been seen in Pilsen and has killed a fisherman and almost killing another before being stabbed and that other fisherman getting away.
So that is why Lauren Silver and her partner Orewell Cooper are here in Czechoslovakia these two work for a paranormal bureau dealing with dangerous supernatural creatures, but is the Vodnik really dangerous or is there more to this mission then it seems.
Okay let's talk about the likes, the story is very good it has a good mystery with nice buildup with some good twists and turns, made even better with a delightful set of characters, there is an obvious twist but it's well written and I do love the don't judge a book by its cover theme and there was also another twist I didn't expect, I also like how the story it iscontained showing you who the main characters are and what is their world like, but also giving hence to a much bigger story.
The gameplay was okay it's your standard virtual novel as you pick different dialogue options to get the different endings, but what helps this to stand out is the murder minigame that reminded me of the minigame from the series detective grimoire. The graphics are good it has a nice classic anime kind of look to it with bright character color designs that makes you just want to look at it then and with the soft color backgrounds that really helps the character stand out, I especially like the art and look of the murder mini game was pretty cute. The levels were good each background was visually distinct that was nice to look at and I especially like the soft colors to them.
The characters were really good each one was quite well written I liked Lauren Silver I liked her sarcastic wit that is mixed with her sincerity and kindness, I was quite fascinated about her, especially her past and what wish she made to the wish granter, I also liked the Vodnik and his daughter, the Vodnik was a big sweetheart and his daughter was very adorable in a sweet yet bratty kind of way.
The animated intro was very good, I particularly like the jazzy theme song and getting to see all the different characters for this game and the sequel games The music was good with plenty of nice songs to listen too, I particularly like the song for the animated intro it had a nice jazzy feel that fit with the world so well.
The animation was good pretty simplistic with little touches that helped make the game not feel so stiff. The unlockables was very good like getting to see all the characters as well as backgrounds and art for cutscenes was very good and quite enjoyable.
Okay let's talk about the dislikes, there are some bugs in the game, nothing really noticeable except for one big bug and that's for the achievement Why, basically an achievement called why doesn't unlock even though I did what it asked me to apparently everyone's having trouble with it and the reason for that is the game had an update and for some reason the achievement is now broken and the creator hasn't fixed it yet.
Okay now that I'm finished with that Misadventures of Laura Silver is a good virtual novel detective game, with a pretty good story, okay gameplay and really good characters, so I definitely recommend getting this game if you're a fan of virtual novels and mystery games with a supernatural theme this is definitely for you.
Also I'm sad that the creator had to cancel the sequel to this, I really hope they can make a sequel with the help of a kickstarter or patreon, I also hope they fix the bugged achievement for this game or they get rid of the achievement altogether.
Really good VN. Hilarious story, nice visuals, well-written characters. Here you perform real investigation and collect evidence to uncover the truth. You choices really matter and affect the story in multiple ways, so it has a lot of different endings. It has some bugs and minor issues but overal impression was very good...
But hey, something must be wrong here. I said so many good words about this VN, but review is red, so you may reasonably suspect that there must be some catch, isn't it? And you are dаmn right! You see, this VN is a scam. Initially this product was called Misadventures of Laura Silver: EP 1. Yes, it's not a full VN, not even a half of VN, just an episode 1. One day developer simply decided to change the name and sell single episode as a full VN.
Do you see any such information on the store page? Maybe in the description on the right? No? Maybe in the description below? Also nothing? How sad... Ahh, yes, you can find some old announcement on the Steam forum. Unfortunately I discovered it too late. And many potential buyers will miss this crucial info as well.
You know, it is not in my rules to buy story-oriented games in parts. I had EP1 on my wishlist for a long time, waiting for that day when it will be finally finished. So when that 'EP 1' part finally vanished from the game's name - I grabbed it right away... only to discover much later that, in fact, nothing was finished. Developer just changed the name and called it a day.
Look, I understand that it sucks to lose publisher's support, just because he lost interest in the game. It's really disheartening for me that this story will never get any more development. But the work is not done. You can't call it a complete product and sell it as a complete produc, just because you have no means for further work.
On top of that, with a 'farewell patch' developer ruined one of the achievements. There is no way to get it at this moment. The game still has unfixed bugs. Developer is totally silent on forum, but he is still selling the game on Steam and clearly getting money for this unfinished product. I'm honestly surprised that so many people here just swallowed this blatant scam and didn't downvote it into oblivion.
