aeri reviews “7’sCarlet”
—DISCLAIMER—
whatever you read in this post, take it as a personal opinion of a single individual. in other words, only you can form your own conclusion about what you thought of this game. also, this might look like an informal review more than anything (or rant bruv), so there’s that lol
images used in this post came from their official website (as a promotion) or their official X account
now that’s all said, i’ll get started:
—DESCRIBE WHAT THE GAME’S ABOUT—
so there’s our main character named ichiko hanamaki who’s wondering where her older brother— and i squinted suspiciously, yes— could be as he disappeared one year ago— yes, you read that right, like why did it take so long— when he went to a place called okunezato and her childhood friend slash best friend named hino kagutsuchi proposed that they should investigate behind it, and thus begins a premise of mystery and questions— a scooby-doo otome, finally?
—INCOMING SPOILERS AHEAD—
—HINO KAGUTSUCHI—
hino, oh hino— another childhood friend, and why yes, i did had red laser eyes on this dude from the beginning because i couldn’t count on fingers how many times have childhood friends acted trashy towards MC? well, if you played long enough, you can sympathize with me, ig?
but surprise, surprise— he’s alright, fine, sane, and normal LI— if you’re thinking, “eh, maybe he’s an ass towards MC”, but nope, i couldn’t call that ass since he’s just bantering towards ichiko, and funny asf too in other routes, especially his banters with isora— but unfortunately, i didn’t feel anything special with this route, i was like, “yeah, this is mid”
—ISORA AMARI—
why? i dunno, maybe because no spicy plot reveal yet or he’s not my choice on ichiko or those two mashed reasons altogether lol
and him being inconsistent in other routes is just so jarring??
this dude— like this dude— i really want to finish this route quick because it’s insufferable
now, now, about the “insufferable” word that i used, it’s not that bad as you think— like there’s countless of garbage you can think of that’s trashier than this dude pls this dude’s not at least harming ichiko in every route possible— unlike poyo-poyo, tomomori, yang, sanan, toma, etc. coughs, but why though?
simple: i’m not fan of his character— weeps, when will you voice a cold and blunt LI again, tetsu-kaki— his backstory is so?? i had enough of a childhood friend plot again, like tf— and i’m not sold on why he’s a controlling and possessive freak with anger issues all of a sudden— it doesn’t make any sense— i mean, maybe you can argue that he lost his father and he saw their restaurant fall apart ig, but i’m not sold lol— he feels like a lifeless food that you can get in the convenience store— which i find ironic since he’s a chef lol
a totally forgettable trash LI, that’s for sure
—TOA KUSHINADA—
an LI where he had a reverse charm to him? yes, baby, bring it on!
yes, he’s that kind of LI— and i’m shocked that happened because i never saw that coming— at all
he’s this dude that’s like everyone and their moms bullies in school or whatever place there is because he’s a weirdo in their eyes— socially awkward, scrawny, clumsy, and maybe unattractive to their eyes, again, charismatic aura is also a game changer in terms of becoming a famous person besides being attractive— and surprise, surprise, who would’ve thought the loser is an idol— yes, you read that right
i was also like ichiko’s reaction— i couldn’t believe it
i love his backstory and how his good experience with ichiko just erased the bad experiences he’d been through with his bullies and that actually helped him to be a better person, in his own will
... and yeah, about the true route— ahaha, let’s pretend this didn’t happen, yeah?
what it feels like to play the true route if you’re a toa fan:
—SOSUKE TATEHIRA—
ngl, i’m not interested in him, although his appearance nailed exactly what’s attractive in my book— glasses, raven hair, and oceanic blue eyes lol— i dunno why
but as i went with his route, i became interested— i siked myself there for a moment lmfao
he also has a reverse charm to him, not exactly too gap like toa’s but it’s present there— in the general route, he’s all aloof— you can even describe him as a jerk, but i believe this is just him being logical, and that’s not a bad thing when he first met ichiko— and talks like a walking encyclopedia lol and it turns out that he must be all that busybody to the point he never had experienced fun in his life— which at first, i find ridiculous ngl, but looking at his backstory, it makes sense, really— and ichiko going through his life made his world upside down— su-weet lol
—YUZUKI MURAKUMO—
i think newcomers would 100% think that he’s an ass at the beginning, and tbf, i agree with it lol
he’s much closed off more than sosuke, like at least sosuke instantly warmed up with everyone, but what about yuzuki? he remains an enigma, truly making me curious about what goes on with this dude
well, ofc, as expected, it turns out that he cares a lot about things more than what meets the eye— his backstory is fantastic as well— he guards his heart well, but ichiko succeeded in trespassing that lol
the amount of times he goes “HUH??” with ichiko’s words or action is so hilarious— daaaawg
yuzuki’s sealed it for me as my favorite 7’sCarlet LI thanks to his BE#3, well, it’s more like a continuation of NE, or an alt NE—
PLS I FIND IT HOT THAT HE LOST CONTROL OF HIMSELF SINCE HE BECAME A REVENANT WHILE ICHIKO’S FINE WITH THAT AS LONG AS IT’S HIM 🥵🌶️
PLS HE WAS SO DOWN BAD WITH ICHIKO
i want this ending too since both of them were shish-kebabed in the hands of ensepulchers while hugging each other— it’s better than ichiko herself would survive alone without her LI </3
—SECRET ROUTE—
unfortunately, i can’t paste the secret route’s image here because duh, a secret’s supposed to be a secret lol
i’ve already raised an eyebrow towards ichiko’s motivations of going to okuzenato, and knowing how oniichan mostly had an infamous reputation in this niche genre, i was bracing myself to remove my brain in case brain-dead stuff happens— which to my shock, that didn’t happen, or it wasn’t bad, and i find it good
still, i won’t blame others if they go full: “wtf???” at this route since there are still moments that would go people like (myself included):
but i’m a fan of plot where a character is an immortal being and then develops feelings for someone— in the case of this game, others might criticize its writing, and i don’t exactly blame them because it feels like it’s rushed, well, i just think it’s all a flashback to the secret route’s perspective since secret’s explaining to ichiko, not exactly diving into the past fully
i still think it’s pretty neat that the true route foreshadows this one
the ending’s so bittersweet, and realistically, people would find ichiko and the secret route weird (or even immoral) to be together since she knew the secret route as her oniichan ever since she was a kid, plus ichiko would move on to hino as her romantic interest instead— even the secret route relied on hino to take good care of her hihi—
but there’s hint that secret route might be coming back, like it’s up to our interpretation ig
—SYSTEM—
since this is a visual novel, of course, choosing choices is the staple gameplay of it, but i’d like to point out the beautiful background/s since there were times that it was dynamic and that sound effect whenever there’s revelation unfolding makes me jump ngl lol
—OVERALL THOUGHTS—
ichiko might be criticized of “wtf girl??”, but i’d say she’s not that bad as what people tend to say (just take their opinion with a grain of salt, ALWAYS), but i think she shines the most with hino, sosuke and yuzuki’s route because she’s funny and has comebacks of wits lol
the game’s really good at foreshadowing what would happen in the next route, like a lot of it, if you pay attention
however, i still find how the game is written odd, that’s all i have to say
not a smooth experience, that’s for sure, but i didn’t regret playing this game even though it’s not the very best out there since i finally satiated my curiosity about it— and shinichiro miki and showtaro morikubo and me and my rotted braincells thinking of only hakuoki thoughts lmao
—LI RANK OF MY CHOICE—
👑 YUZUKI 👑
🥈 SECRET ROUTE
🥉 SOSUKE
4️⃣ TOA
5️⃣ HINO
💩 ISORA 💩
—RATING—
plot: 3.5/5
characters: 4/5
overall: 4/5
