Optic Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I must admit I don't normally go out of my way to play VNs but I saw this recent release whilst browsing through the Steam holiday sales and was impressed watching the trailer: the animated expressions of the two characters (Vanilla and Chocola) are really smooth and diverse (normally the expressions in many VNs are static). Just wondering if anyone has tried this one out? Steam link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/333600/?snr=1_5_9__205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I watched the trailer for this back when it was first announced, and if I remember correctly, I even played the demo for it. But to be honest, I kinda forgot about this game due to fault milestone one coming out around the same time. I might get the game considering it has a score of 8.53 on VNDB. But it will have to wait, as I will be starting my Steins;Gate VN soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 @FearInCube - how are you finding this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If you like dying from cuteness overdose, then I'd definitely recommend Nekopara. I'm not too big into VNs but I really enjoyed this one. The character portraits are absolutely wonderful, especially the fact they are always animated and animated very well at that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Well just got done with this soooo I thought I'd share my thought about it So while playing the first thing that struck my eye ofc was the new dynamic animated character models , wich Is pretty new beautiful to say the least because most of VN's just have standstill characters but in Nekopara that little bit of animation makes it so much cuter and just more lively , as for the character cast , well it wasnt too bad ,personality wise it kinda lacked depth , excluding the main character , he's a passionate guy doing his dream job while trying to care about his catgirls (and can't forget Vanilla , she is love ) So until now everything seems great cute animated catgirls with their cute little voice , heartwarming and beautiful right ? Well I encountered one problem with this game , the gameplay , yea well idk if I even should call it that because its non-existent pretty much , I know its supposed to be a kinetic novel , but that for me takes out all of the fun of a visual novel , whats the fun when you cant actually interact with the story and have influence over it ? well this is just a personal taste , somebody might enjoy it but thats me . All in all Nekopara is a cute and fluffly VN , so if you like catgirls and dont really mind the static somewhat dull story then you might have a good time with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It just occurred to me perhaps I should mention there's another little thing for Nekopara out on steam, I think it was called volume 0. Not a full game, just sort of a silly little side thing. I got it on sale for a dollar or so some time back, but have yet to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Nekopara Vol 2 was released just recently, I bought it but haven't played it yet. As I understand, this time there is also a bit more focus on Coconut and Azuki~ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optic Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 Oh I COMPLETELY forgot about this game. Still on my to-pllay list. ...interestingly it has also come to my attention there is also an 18+ version with eroge scenes which were cut out in the steam version.

SanguineTear Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Did I forget to mention that...? Oops... Yeah there are 18+ versions of both volume I and II which you can find on sites that sell other Japanese VNs and the like. However, there also are patches which add that content into the Steam version. For Volume 1 there is a free patch, and for volume 2 there is a patch made available that costs $10 (which combined with the Steam price equals out to the cost of the adult version FYI). There IS a free patch for the second one, but since they made a paid version for it, it may or may not be unethical by some standards.
