Planetarian Review

Alright, some of my friends know that I'm known to play a lot of doujin games. (Small Japanese games little under or over 200 MB.) So I decided sometimes I would review a few or not. As for this one, I wanted to review this before I shoved it off my HD since it was so hard to find. This game is called a "kinetic novel" (a visual novel that's suited for under 18 and only has one route.) It was developed by Visual Arts Key, the same people who created Air, Kanon, Clannad, Little Busters!,  Angel Beats!. and the upcoming visual novel, Rewrite. This game is called "Planetarian -The Reverie of a Small Planet- (Chiisana Hoshi no Yume)"

In Planetarian, you are known as the "Junker" in a post-apocalyptic world. Trying to survive on your own in this always-raining world from robots like giant "fiddler crabs" that shoot lasers. One day, he enters a rundown building which apparently is a planetarium. Surprisingly to himself, there was an active android there (which he was about to shoot.) She called herself Yumemi (but I remember it as Reverie, but it doesn't matter anymore.) And that's when there's odd story unfolded.

The game is all about those 2 trying to get to cope with each other and trying to fix the planetarium. And since the Junker has never seen anything outside the rain in his life (born in the rain as well,) it gives amazing detail to what happens when the planetarium is actually is fixed as well as in the ending of the novel. I would've been nicer if it were longer. I give it an 8/10
