Review Detail

You will be impressed by all the good seiyuu in there. There are so many famous seiyuu in it and they really did a VERY GREAT JOB! For those who can not understand Japanese it is also simple to know what is happening with the persons.


The best in this game is the multi-viewpoint system of it and cafe lindbergh provides the game with lots of different couplings and endings, improving on the standard ADV setup of a single main character. However, this also creates so many different options, that trying to get specific endings without the aid of a guide can be extremely difficult (picking the wrong character or the wrong option on just one day could spoil your chances for the entire route). Expect to have to use a guide if you plan on getting 100% of the scenes and CGs, and even with one, still expect a fair amount of frusteration trying to unlock everything. A multi-viewpoint system is both a blessing and a curse: it creates lots of replayability for a multitude of endings and CGs, but also makes it more difficult than your typical ADV to get all the endings and CGs.

For those who love or like TAKI from MAIDENROSE, those would be very happy to hear that the character named Tsukasa is the same Seiyuu as for Takis voice. Also the moods are nearly the same. ^^ Therefore I just love Tsukasa.


Cafe Lindbergh offers quiet a few high-points for the BL gamer. The main one, of course, is the ability for multiple pairings that is available because of the multiple viewpoint selection system. It is always a refreshing change when instead of just having one protagonist that you may pair with any of the sub-characters, you can instead pair any of the main characters with each other. This is quite a rarity among BL games, with only a few other games offering multiple pairings, such as Angel's Feather and the first game in Ein's Bokura no Ren'ai Shinrigaku series, Birdie. This point alone is reason enough for most gamers to give it a play.

Playability-wise, Cafe Lindbergh made one huge improvement over its predessor Birdie: dialogue is now contained in a dialogue box, not written over the entire screen. I was especially happy with this, because I'm not fond of the "novel-dialogue-display" sticking words over the entire screen. Also, Cafe Lindbergh has made some improvements over the internal workings of the multi-viewpoint selection system as well; like in Birdie it still uses a "points" system, where scored points based on character and option choices are used, but there are no longer separate types of points and they are now used not as a requisite to a love ending, but instead to award bonus scenes or CGs on a love ending. And it still has 200 save slots -- hat's off to Ein for that.

Another high point is the game offers a large selection of CGs with nicely-done artwork by Kai Asou. There are 84 CGs, with an additional 5 in the bonus scenerio, leaving the game with a fairly high CG count. there are a nice assortment to be had; vanilla, lime, or lemon, you will probably find something that appeals to your taste buds. And another, of course, is the sex -- there is no denying it. If you are looking for a boys' love game that is high in adult content, then Cafe Lindbergh is a good choice. A very large portion of the CGs are sex scenes, with a nice variety of different positions and situations. Deep kisses, masturbation, hand jobs, oral, anal, non-consentual, you'll find it all. The game is full-voiced and the seiyuu over-all do a nice job.
