Planetarian ~The Reverie of a little Planet~

Filed under: Games

This game is a Kinetic novel, made by Key. You play as some guy who lives in a world where it doesn’t stop raining, because of a biochemical war that started 30 years ago. You are in a town, but noone is there but enemies. When you decide to hide in a building, there is someone there, Reverie. She’s a robot who has been waiting at the planetarium for a customer to come visit them and doesn’t understand you when you try to explain her that she has been waiting for nothing, because the world has changed and noone will come any more. You end up trying to fix the machine to look at the stars, because it’s broken after 30 years without maintainance. After you fix it you get to watch the stars and it’s really worth it ^_^ Anyway, after that, you want to leave, but Reverie insists on going with you (she wants to accompany you to your car).  But it’s very dangerous outside with old robots who don’t know the war has stopped and they are still trying to protect the city.

I won’t tell how it ends though; because otherwise it’s no more fun to play (or read if you want, because you don’t get to make any choices).  I really liked this though, it’s like a book on your computer.  The art is really nice too and the story was good, although it was rather short.  Another good game by Key ^_^
