Okay okay okay… so imagine this: You wake up in Tokyo, no memories, surrounded by teens who are just as confused as you are. There’s neon everywhere, the air feels like static, and someone’s clearly hiding something as the unfolds.
Type-Noise: Shonen Shojo... is a visual sci-fi novel that’s part point-n-click, part detective drama, and all kinds of anime chaos.
Gameplay
You’re not just reading dialogue and watching pretty cutscenes. You’re solving puzzles which I was trying to get to based on the lack of voice overs. You also collecting clues, and piecing together a mystery that’s got layers like a digital onion. (And yes... it might make you cry a little.)
The game plays like a visual novel with branching paths, but it throws in interactive segments that feel like classic adventure games. You’ll scan environments, interrogate characters, and unlock memories one fragment at a time.
And just when you think you’ve got the rhythm down... (BOOM) action sequence. The pacing shifts, the music spikes, and suddenly you’re dodging lasers or hacking a terminal under pressure. It’s like the game knows when you’re getting comfy and flips the table.
Visuals
Visually? It’s anime eye candy. Think Ergo Proxy meets Steins;Gate, with a splash of Tokyo Revengers drama. The character designs are sharp, and the backgrounds feel like they were pulled straight from a cyberpunk artbook.
The writing leans into emotional tension and philosophical questions... like what makes you you when your memories are gone? But don’t worry, it’s not all heavy. Expect awkward teen moments, and enough twists to keep you guessing.
If you like your games smart, stylish, and slightly unhinged (in an interesting way), this one’s worth diving into for the visual novel fans. Just don’t expect all the answers right away and... go in prepared to get your read on. I'm not crazy about visual novel games, but what would help make a nice impact would be voice overs. Requests have already been make and that's for good reason, it would amplify the experience.
