Review Detail

Synopsis/Review:
Story: Ok, nothing special but I enjoyed the hidden chara
Art: Cute and bright
Sex: Explicit enough but not a lot of CGs. Light BDSM, threesomes etc. Catboy and dogboy for those who like them.Certainly not my fav game smex.
Music: forgettable
Fully-voiced
Gameplay: A bit complex though it's the usual clicking but easy if you follow the capture guide.

Basically, you have to visit the four countries in turn and in the right order so that no country feels slighted if you pay too many visits to their enemy or you risk being made to pay a visit to the country you slighted or getting a bad end. If you click on the status button, you can find out if things are good politically (green is good, red means danger) and romantically.

You make 2 visits per month and at the end of the year if you make all the right choices (I followed the Japanese capture guide), you will get New Year invitations from the countries in question. You can choose which invitation to accept and then it's a piece of cake to get the endings you want. Each country has two charas for you to have sex with, one will be the crown prince plus one extra character. If you follow the guide I used, it will tell you when to save. Just follow the charts. I recommend getting all the crown princes' endings first by choosing to meet them when you visit their countries and saving when the New Year invites come the first time round.

You will have to play through the year again to get the endings with the secondary characters, this time choosing to meet them when you visit their countries and again saving when the invites come so that you can backtrack. You play through a third time, this time choosing to meet the princes to get the normal ending (where Kurt get crowned) and Stellan's endings. In between, there are some special choices to make e.g. going to Stellan's room but it's all explained in the guide. My explanation's kinda complex.

After you get all the happy endings, you will be able to unlock the hidden character. From the title page, go to Goat's Diary and you will see a new character. You can get the hidden character's endings by clicking him.

Charas:
Kurt: Innocent, a bit annoying. Brown hair and green eyed uke. Our protagonist. He loves to eat, especially desserts and hates the homework Stellan gives him.
Kurt is the ultimate uke! When I saw Fifi, I thought Kurt might be seme for once seeing that Fifi is both girlier and shorter than he is but...lol

Stellan: Bespectacled loyal tutor. Serious personality. Green hair

Candy: Kurt's white pet kid (goat). Loves to eat.
---
Yes, Candy is an enchanted prince. White hair and red eyes! Very cute. You will visit all four countries and if you make the right choices you will free him and get the happy end. Also, after you have gotten the happy ending with Candy, you will be able to understand his bleating. I guessed that he was a prince even before reading the capture guide.

The 4 countries:

Celestine: A pseudo-Western European country like Kurt's. Culture is supposed to be close to K's and the arts are flourishing.

Reinhard: Crown prince with blond hair and blue eyes. He's a great cook and dancer. Kurt thinks he looks just like a storybook prince. Has a older half-brother Julius who was born of a different mother

---
I love the endings for the Celestine charas best. Reinhard has an incestuous love for his older brother in some of the endings. Yes, being the twisty person I am, I enjoyed the messed-up 3 p bad ending plus the slave ending in which R loses all contact with reality and keeps Kurt as his sex slave thinking K is his older brother. Scaryyyy....
---

Julius: Long white hair, white cravat, a bit feminine. When K finds him sleeping on a bed of roses, K thought he looked like a sleeping princess. Not on good terms with his brother plus the succession is an issue ‘cos Julius is a bastard.

Hinomoto(another way of reading Nihon really): as the name suggests, based on Japan. Decor and architecture a mix of Western and Japanese. People have black hair/eyes.

Shuuichi: Crown prince, a bit unfriendly, likes to wave his riding crop around. Sexually frigid because of his bad relationship with his licentious father whom he despises. Hates being touched and has no interest in either males or females at first. His butterfly collection is creeeepy...I thought the scene where his father gives him "the joy of gay sex" book was funny...


Kiyoharu: Emperor? King? Shuuichi's father. Unlike his dutiful son, likes to spend his time in teahouses. His wife died giving birth to his son. Likes cosplay.

Chalcedony: Sort of Arabian Nights desert country.

Naseeruddin: Crown prince with a lot of tattoos. Spends his day lounging on his bed and has a harem. Is under a curse because he was born at the wrong time.

Fifi: His servant. Looks like a harem girl except for flat chest. Shorter than Kurt and keeps coming on to Kurt but Kurt is totally clueless. Knows magic. Wonder if he’s a bellydancer like moi!

Fenrir A troubled, new country that's still quite savage. Populated by half-beasts.

Wind: Dogboy and crown prince. Has two tails!

Katze: Wind's childhood friend and right-hand man. Leather-clad Catboy.

Overall, this isn't my fav but still worth a play I suppose.
