The weirdest case about this is when I first met one of the guys and realized he was a jerk. then why cards with them on it? It just doesn't make much sense to me :/. they're not actually the ones teaching my kid?. that's when my mind goes "how the hell can they teach something to my kid if I don't know them?". you have *no* idea who they actually are until they appear. but while you see the guy in the Produce sequence (all pumped up, says something cool while the kid reacts and the points go up), that's it. Of course they boost related stats, and often 2 of them, and a lot more than the Mother cards. then, you get a random set of cards from the guy's series. but it could be about ethics or fashion or whatever?).Īnd then. but it's still not *obvious* (the traditional guy is actually about handwork and niceness. You can somehow guess a bit about them because they're really "logical" (muscular/silent/tough guy?. now that the Produce part is done, you get a map. cool abstract sequence where the mother appears, all pumped up and points go up, along with voices of your kid going all "eheheh! so fun!" and stuff like that. Once you've picked up to five cards, you get to see a rather.

So you pick some that fit the stats you deem interesting (teach some ethic, make some handmade stuff, teach how to be nice.). At the very beginning, you only have "Mother" cards. But after the intro and first VN part, representing the first school days, you get to the Produce part. It's all about preschool and stuff, which is fine. What I didn't like in Dear My Sun is that the story starts with you and your son and some female friend. in regular VNs, I tend to be the undecisive one because 1) I just can't be mean 2) Being friendly is considered as hitting on someone 3) Having to decide on a girl when you haven't even met the others is. I actually like the idea that you could meet characters more before making a choice. I don't think they're the same at all ô_o. Why don't they translate such games instead of bad H?. Ĭonclusion : while I'm a bit disappointed by the steep separation between the game system and the story, it's still an interesting game, though I really don't know if I'll have the courage to finish it. If it was in english, it'd probably be hard to stop playing/reading ^^. Oh and it's a made up example to avoid spoiling ^^.įortunately, the main story is rather interesting as it follows your son's life, along with his friends, a few men you meet, etc. if weak but charming, he stays on the benches, chatting with some girls). Something like "mom and son go to pool" is the theme, and half of the scene will always be the same, but then, depending on his education, you'll get a specific variation (good at sport, he beats some guy who was boasting. Variations do happen in the first half too, but they're always based on mandatory scenes. You also get more specific scenes depending on your son's education (good boy, bad boy, charmer, sportsy. It seems the second part of the game is different as you start seeing more of some characters depending on how you raised your son. This means you get to use someone's card even when you have no idea who they are, and using a card doesn't seem to mean anything except "Force + 4000" for example.Įveryone gets introduced throughout the first half of the game but you really don't see much of them :/. but it's actually a bit disappointing : the card system is totally unrelated to the story. I guessed each card, being related to one of the other characters (male or not), gave a scene when they were used. And after all this, you get to the "produce" part where you pick cards to raise stats. You follow preset events showing the growth of your kid (you pick one of the two brothers at the beginning, and it's explained why) and for each year quarter, you get a rather long VN scene, then sometimes additional scenes (introducing characters or your husband). at first I felt I was following a very linear story and. As said above, it gets *really* frustrating after a while because, unlike Princess Maker, it's mostly a VN before being a SIM (which makes me somewhat reconsider the idea that a VN stops being a VN once a game system is put in).Īnyway.

tested the game out because it made me really curious. Yeah, total pain that it's in japanese ^^.
