The game "Red Line" Yuri Xiang's
Red Line
Original name: アカイイト
Produced by: SUCCESS
Release date: 2004 /10/21
Original painting: Hal
Script: Tomoyuki Lucawa
This game is a Japanese-style fantasy lily game launched by Success Company in 2004. The platform is PS2, the person responsible for the script is Tomoyuki Lucawa, and hal serves as the original artist and character designer. In general, "Red Line" is undoubtedly a masterpiece that can enter the palace of Lily. Whether it is music, original painting, system, or plot and Lily, it has reached a certain height. Luchuan's beautiful description also gives players an immersive feeling. The beauty of it is as if one can see through the words the rain of locust flowers that looks like blowing snow in the vast darkness, the dancing moonlight butterflies with phosphorescent light, drawing illusory tracks in the silence of the night; the clear and sweet ringing of bells before the Japanese visit; the smell of summer. The smell of green grass in the secluded countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle, directly brings people into that beautiful Japanese-style fantasy world. The person responsible for the music of "Red Line" is MANYO (little Wing), who has composed the music for three of Innocent Gray's projects and often collaborates with Shigezuki Yuko. The OST he created for "Red Line" has received unanimous praise from gamers and music lovers. , even if many people have not played "Red Line", they are still fascinated by the artistic conception conveyed in the music that is filled with a touch of nostalgia and the fresh breath of summer. C73 Shang Shuoyue also released an impression album "いつかのひかり", which has also become a classic album treasured by many fan music lovers (Editor's note: The OST of "Red Line" is one of Manyo and Shuoyue's highest-level works, especially It's the opening song "贴る世で" sung by Shigetsuki and Riya. I highly recommend it!).
In addition to these selling points, "Red Line" has also made innovations in gameplay. Even when compared with other ordinary beautiful girl games, it still has many merits. For example, the differences in the game are extremely complicated, and there are as many as 32 endings. The plot has been chopped into fragments and scattered in the strategy process of each character. The strategy process is actually the process of collecting fragments to piece together a complete plot.
Although the details will be slightly adjusted depending on the different characters to be defeated, the main plot is roughly the same. You must defeat all the characters to understand the plot. Although there are many games that require you to complete the entire storyline to know the complete plot, they are not like "Red Line" which limits the order of the characters' strategies. To achieve the strategy of some characters, you must first play the True End of another character before you can unlock the ending. Seal, otherwise you can only Bad End again and again. In fact, this also indirectly limits the direction of the plot and provides players with a fixed clue to piece together the pieces. The order of character strategy in "Red Thread" is roughly as follows: Senba Karasuki → Wakasugi Kuzu → Hato Yuaki → Asama Sakuya → Mochi. There are ambush lines everywhere, and many places echo each other. Every time you complete a line, you will get closer to the truth. Until the five characters are complete, a CG of Katsura Hato holding a bouquet of flowers and smiling happily will appear. The title screen of the game will change from the original deep woods to a reddish orange color rendered by the setting sun, and the BGM will also be changed to The ancient and distant "EiるLife" symbolizes the end of this thousand-year reincarnation...
Strictly speaking, "Red Line" does have the shortcomings of too much research and insufficient emotion. Many long paragraphs of folklore statements are obviously It is imposed according to the author's preferences, and it seems relatively rigid when placed in the plot. The depiction of emotions always ends abruptly at critical moments, leaving a sense that the intention is not yet complete.
However, judging from both Lily and Folklore, "Red Line" is undoubtedly the palace level of the former. As a Japanese style fantasy game, it is also above the recognized masterpiece "Suigetsu" (the highest point of this type of game in the author's mind is "Suigetsu"). Kagami's fan game "Lamp Spike Story"), and there is never an overly cruel scene in "Red Line", and it can always be kept above a certain bottom line. This also limits the direction of the plot to a certain extent, and uses breakthroughs Do you need to give detailed examples when the bottom line is to earn tears and deceive feelings? In any case, "Red Line" is a game worthy of strong recommendation. After the whole line is over, I listen to the song "Ei no Life" and recall some of the plots in the game. I can't help but I was so moved that it was hard to express it in my heart...
◎Plot Summary
In a summer that was no different from any other, the protagonist Hato Katsura’s only mother passed away, and she lost her only mother. relatives. Although he hired an accountant for help, Gui still decided to go back to his hometown to see the family property left behind by his father - it was a quaint mansion built at the foot of a secluded mountain. Ten years ago, Gui and his father My mother lives in this big house. A sudden fire took away his father's life. Gui also lost his memory before he was 6 years old in this disaster. After that, his mother moved Gui from her hometown to the city. Ten years have passed, and this is the first time Gui returns to the Jingkan Tomb. She sits alone in the tram filled with the afterglow of the setting sun, and begins a long journey. All the luggage was a canvas bag filled with daily necessities. Looking out the car window at the scenery of my hometown that was passing by, I felt a mixture of uneasiness and longing in my heart. This was a premonition that some story was about to begin...
The tram stopped at an inconspicuous station. A girl with long straight black hair got off the train with Gui. The other person was an elegant and gorgeous Japanese-style beauty with a classic atmosphere, wearing clothes from a prestigious girls' school. Wearing a pure black uniform, he also held what appeared to be a Japanese sword sealed in a cloth bag. She took out a photo at the ticket gate and asked the uncle in charge of the flight if he had seen the young man inside. The uncle shook his head and said that this was a small station with very limited visitors. If such a person came, he would definitely remember it, okay? After receiving a satisfactory reply, the girl turned around and disappeared into the night. Gui learned from his uncle that the last bus to the Kyokan Tomb had left and checked into the hotel he recommended. In the hotel, as expected, he saw the girl he met on the platform again, and the two entered the hotel together. During dinner, during the chat, Katsura learned that the girl's name was "Qianba Karasuki" and that she had some work to do when she came to the Suikan Tomb. After the pleasant dinner, Gui returned to the room to rest. While he was sleeping, he heard the crisp ringing of bells, and in a trance he saw a butterfly shining with blue and white light. After waking up, Gui walked out of the room to confirm, and saw Wuyue again at the door of the room. Wuyue reminded her that she felt a demon nearby and asked her to deal with it carefully.
The first night back in his hometown went uneventfully. Early the next morning, Katsura took a bus to the place called Kyokanzuka. The Hato family’s mansion was built against the mountain. , it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. In the courtyard of Hato House, Gui met a cute and energetic girl. She told Gui that her name was Ge, and that the little white fox tail flower next to her was her friend. After bidding farewell to Ge, Gui went up the mountain along the hiking trail, as if being pulled by some force, passing through a bush, and suddenly in the open field of vision, a tall locust tree stood quietly, full of white flowers. The sparkling light under the sunlight seems to be a scene that does not belong to this world. A beautiful young man stood under the tree. The young man told Gui that his name was also ケイ (the same pronunciation as Gui, which is the key to the subsequent plot, so I won’t forcefully translate it into Chinese characters here). The breeze blew and the locust flowers were scattered. Flying like butterflies in the wind, Gui looked at the locust trees all over the ground and told Gui locust that when broken down, it means "wood ghost". It has been a sacred tree with spirituality since ancient times. In Chinese legends, people will plant locust trees in front of tombs. The petals of the Sophora japonica flower resemble butterflies. Butterflies are used as "ghost vehicles" to transport dead souls in the mythology of any country. "Sophora japonica" is always related to things like ghosts and souls. After saying this, Yuki suddenly His expression changed and he warned Gui not to come near this place again.
After going down the mountain, Gui remembered that the boy was the character in Wuyue's photo, but he couldn't care about that much now. Going to the shopping street to fill his stomach was the first priority. At this time, a cool sports car drove over from the opposite side. The owner of the car was Sakuya Asama, a good friend of Katsura's late mother who was very familiar with Katsura. After hearing that Katsura returned to her hometown, she also drove to Suikanzuka and later lived in the same house as Katsura. Home hotel.
There is a good hot spring in the hotel. The next night, Katsura, Sakuya and Karasuki enjoy this wonderful hot spring together, but for some reason, Sakuya and Karasuki seem to have a close relationship. Tonight is destined to be uneventful. The supernatural beings that appeared last night finally reveal their prototypes. They are twin sisters Wang Mikage. Their goal is to use the blood of Hato Katsura to resurrect the master who was sealed thousands of years ago as the god of the mountain. Nozomi and Mikage told Katsura that her blood is pure and thick "Zhi's blood" that has been passed down for thousands of years. After drinking it, whether it is a ghost or a demon, it can multiply its power and exert miraculous power (this setting makes "Red Line" justifiable) Ji has drawn many YY CGs in the name of vampires, and the game also directly states that Gui is equivalent to Tang Monk, who wants to eat both humans and monsters, and is always accepted in the harem openly)... Just when Gui is about to fall into the hands of the twin vampire sisters At that moment, a group of blue-and-white butterflies appeared in the netherworld, drawing elegant trajectories in the dark space. In the center of the group of butterflies stood a girl wearing a light blue kimono decorated with butterfly patterns. With the help of the girl, Gui got rid of Nozomi and Mikage. She felt inexplicably familiar with the girl named Yuming, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
At this point, all the keys to unlocking the truth of the story have been gathered, and the choice of which direction to take depends on the player’s spokesperson, Katsura Hato
