Masterpiece 10/10

♡
While I normally don't write reviews, I've really grown fond of Cinderella Phenomenon that I had to share my thoughts. When I first played the original "Cinderella Phenomenon" few years back, I absolutely loved it. It always had that sense of nostalgia for me. It was a huge source of comfort and refreshing enjoyment for me. Visual novel games always helped lighten up my stress, and the game surely didn't disappoint, it was an absolute masterpiece <3 The story was original, unique, and very refreshing. It was also the very first visual novel game I've played on laptop, making it all the more special to me. The bad endings took me by surprise, needless to say I was sobbing. It was heartbreaking and beautiful.
Later on, Dicesuki announced "Cinderella Phenomenon: Evermore" I was delighted and super excited--I definitely had to play it no matter what. Unfortunately, I didn't get the luxury to until much later in 2025 when I was finally able to purchase games on my own (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ It definitely didn't disappoint, if you liked the original game, you'll definitely love to see the happily ever after of your favorite characters! I only wished, we could have also seen the aftereffects of the bad endings :(
Don't get me wrong, Evermore was beautiful, but the original had its own magic. They cannot really be compared to each other because it's basically ehm... similar to an epilogue rather than a full story. You can't play Evermore without playing the first game. Nonetheless, it's still definitely worth every penny of its price! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ I'm definitely glad I got to play it after waiting for so long <3
Waltz's and Klaude's routes were my absolute favs..my shaylas <3
All in all, I highly recommend it to anyone who loved the first game. If you’re looking for a sweet continuation with a satisfying story, you’ll get just that with Evermore (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹𝟹
