JGames - Shikkoku no Sharnoth (What a Beautiful Tomorrow) (PC)
It been a long time since I played Japanese visual novel games. I started after a while with Shikkoku no Sharnoth and I must admit that I was blown away by this game. The story was immensely interesting and intense when I round it all up. The art was really nice to look at and even when the same images repeated it wasn't boring at all. The three main characters are all girls in a world still ruled by men. The story is set in London at the beginning of the 20th century even though it wasn't really a typical industrial revolution society, but a much darker version of it especially in the background of it all. Also, there were quite a few mini games all throughout the game which were pretty fun and relatively easy once you figured out how they worked. It's a pretty long-ish game and everything is pretty much detailed, some parts even necessarily so, but in the end there were some unanswered questions too for us who like everything explained. Despite that, it's was the best visual novel game I ever played. I totally recommend it!

Shikkoku no Sharnoth is set in 1905 and takes place in London.
It has two modes of gameplay. The first mode, like other visual novels, requires little interaction from the player as much of the player's time is spent reading the text that appears on the game's screen which represents the protagonist's thoughts or the dialogue between the different characters. The second mode occurs twice every chapter. In this mode, the player is presented with an isometric view of the protagonist and her surroundings and is tasked with guiding the protagonist to certain spots in the map while avoiding the monsters in the area in a turn-based system. This secondary gameplay feature is rather unique to Shikkoku no Sharnoth as the player's interaction with a visual novel is usually isolated to the graphics and audio.
The player assumes the role of Mary Clarissa Christie, the protagonist of Shikkoku no Sharnoth. Mary has heterochromia eyes, her right eye is gold while her left eye is blue. She originally had blue eyes but her right eye changed colours one year ago prior to the game's events and she has been seeing strange visions since.
