Your "friend" and even some of the side characters have more depth.- The city "tours" are very basic outlines of culture, cuisine and economy, over a single static screen, reading a bit like Wikipedia summaries.- There are very few meaningful decisions. In the end, I think, only one.- After that particular decision, the ending is staggeringly short.- The puzzle minigame does add variety, but because the game is quite short you'll only actually play it a dozen or so times.- The puzzle game really feels tacked-on in any case. It adds relatively little meat to the game, while interrupting the (minimal) plot.On the plus side, the art is nice, as is the concluding song.A thorough waste of US$7. Get Clannad or Fruit of Grisaia or something instead. Costs more, but the amount of depth bears no comparison. If you want an otome game... maybe hatoful boyfirend; it shouldn't be hard to find something better, in any case..

If you want an otome game... maybe hatoful boyfirend; it shouldn't be hard to find something better, in any case.. Ok, I love visual novels. But this game♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥me off. First of all it's linear, and when I say that I mean your choices don't mean anything (you can't even decline a date...seriously WTF?!?!). Also you go on a cruise with Lucas and you can't romance him. Are you serious?!? This a romantic novel and I can't get together with my best friend!?! And to rub salt on the wound he always marries another girl. So that made me mad. Plus the two potential lovers are boring and creepy. One of them is a creeper who doesn't take no for an answer and the other can't shut up about his work. Also why only guys? Us lesbians and bisexuals play these games too. As a bisexual myself I have to say that I'm qute dissapointed. I mean you had three female charaters you could've easily made love interests. Overall this game felt empty and lazily made. So I suggest that you save your money and go for a game that doesn't feel incomplete.. In this visual novel, you play the part of Emma, a tech genius who can't help herself in offering to help anyone with any tech-related problems (seriously, she offers and fixes quite a few issues while on a cruise where she should be relaxing). On this cruise, she meets Santi, a Spaniard who is passionate and sweeps her into at least a couple "liasons". As well, she bumps into her old flame Scott. In the end, will you choose either, or go back to your London-based job?. Well, this game is (very) short compared to what I've played so far. I finished it in about 1.5 hours, unlocked all the 3 endings, and cleared all the 4 achievements.The story is below my expectation. Like, 1.5/5, sorry to say.The match-3 mini-game, while the idea and the gameplay is good, become repetitive near the end of the game.The video? It surprised me at first since I haven't played other visual novels that use video like this. The second and the third time, I skipped the video.So, to whoever read this review, I suggest you to buy it during a sale. And if you're a game developer, you can use this game to learn what's good and what's bad (and also figure out how to fix the bad things).. Ugh. Where to begin?The stock images as backgrounds was jarring. Worse still, were the videos of the cruise ship. We get it. You're on a boat.Story and characters not interesting, but by far the worst part was--THE ♥♥♥♥ING MINIGAME.You're supposed to be on vacation and people are chasing you around the whole time to fix their♥♥♥♥♥♥ The game is so boring and gets really irritating after the billionth time someone breaks their tablet, and as it has been stated before, is not important to the game. It's not even a fun minigame. There's no option to skip it.Just...no. Full Screen support for Windows and other bug fixes: We have made a couple of improvements including:- Full screen button.- Save game fixes allows use of all slots.- small tweaks and minor fixes.Keep being awesome!Sapphire Dragon Productions Team.

Good bye TLK: Hey Everyone,There is no easy way to say this so we’ll just come out with it. We’re retiring “True Lover’s Knot” and taking it off steam. It’s received too many negative reviews and we feel that it truly does hurt our portfolio by having it around. We know that we said that we would attempt a re-write last year but we found that it was simply not economically feasible (it would involve very nearly making a new game and many of those that had bought and played True Lover’s Knot would have never even known about this). We would like to extend an apology to those of you that were either looking forward to the re-write or simply found the game disappointing. True Lover’s Knot was only our third title (and 2nd Visual Novel) and we were not yet so adept in the craft of making VN’s so we do understand why the reviews were so negative.Anyway as a final hurrah we’ve decided to put a 66% discount on the game for this week. After that we will begin the process of retiring True Lover’s Knot!Thank you so much for your support with everything!The Sapphire Dragon Productions Team. Raffle Giveaway! Thank You Everyone for your support!: Hey Everyone!What can we say? You guys are incredible!This week has been an absolute rollercoaster for us and we are so touched by all the support and love that you guys have shown here on the discussion boards and also for those of you that just wrote reviews for “True Lovers Knot”! You guys are absolutely awesome and we have no words to express how grateful we are to everyone!Until now the vast majority of feedback we had gotten for the game had come from reviews and YouTube Let’s Plays. While the YouTube Let’s Plays were really good and we got tons of positive feedback from those (from both the players and the viewers on the comment section) the reviews were rather negative which made us feel so bad about the game and made us want to retire it!One other thing we would like to clear up is that Sapphire Dragon Productions is NOT out of business and we are definitely very much alive and kicking and working on quite a few games that are set to be released in the summer, fall and winter of 2017. As a matter of fact we just got greenlit for three upcoming Visual Novels and have a lot more stuff in the storyboard section! We merely wanted to pull “True Lover’s Knot” as we didn’t want it turn players off our other games! But with all the support you guys have shown it looks like you’ve all changed our minds!So with that we’ve decided to leave the game up for now! As a big thank you to those of you that bought “True Lover’s Knot” we are going to run a raffle of 10 free copies of our newest title: “Fix Me Fix You”.Furthermore, if over 100 people enter the raffle then we will add a further 10 free copies into the draw!To participate just type in the name of your favourite character from “True Lover’s Knot” in the comment section below and after one week we will choose ten winners at random who will be awarded a free copy of “Fix Me Fix You”!To see what the game is about check out the link below.http://store.steampowered.com/app/601570/?snr=1_7_7_230_150_1Remember only those with “True Lover’s Knot” in their steam libraries are eligible to win (we WILL check haha!)Good luck and thanks for being awesome!The Sapphire Dragon Productions Team..
