Amazing

What an amazing VR visual novel. The story was what you hope for - equal to or greater than PC or console visual novels - and I massively enjoyed it. The one caveat is an important character is introduced halfway through, but that doesn’t detract from the novel. Character models were extremely impressive. One thing I love about VR is that characters can get right up next to you, making hugs feel intimate and scare scenes terrifying (the game has one or two). Besides that, it played great on my oculus go, music-wise it’s on-point, and even with my speed-clicking extreme reading speed I still took 10 hours to complete it. I very highly recommend this game and hope to see more VRVNs in the future.

A whole new way of experiencing a story

Tokyo Chronos is a visual novel in VR. I don't usually like reading texts in VR because it hinders immersion, but Tokyo Chronos did a great job of making reading in VR great fun. The way they show texts in VR is really cool, and they have cleverly combined the first person and the third person views to help you to understand the situation without having to rotate your head too much. The voice acting is also a top-notch, played by strong voice casts including Yūto Uemura (Hiro in Darling in the Franxx) and Yui Ishikawa (Violet in Violet Evergarden). A must experience.

Waiting for this experience.

I have experienced many experimental VR games so far. This game is a highly recommended experience for everyone. -Experiences unique to VR. Dramatic rendition with sounds with an orientation that matches the scene and animations that are used effectively. Everything is designed for the experience. It's not flashy at all, but it's a great match for the experience. -A system that supports the experience. The most time spent with VR mystery visual novels is reading. The system of this game is devised for comfortable reading. Words, sentences and images are effectively placed. -Great performance. I would like to send praise for enabling this experience with Oculus Go. The city of Shibuya and the nine-human model are shown statically, sometimes dynamically, and maintain performance. You will not feel VR sickness. -Attractive character. You can experience the story with a character designed by LAM, literally with a unique color. In addition, in the experience, you can taste the story with a sense of presence from the viewpoint of the character. I especially like Togoku Yuria. I think the game will to carve the name in history of VR. Thank you. Thank you very much.

It is dead. Who killed Battery?

Even if the battery is dead. Even if you feel sad inside. You will surely come back. Stand up again and again. Please see until finale. When the story comes to the end. What remains in your mind? Thank you for the valuable experience. My favorite VR game “東京クロノス”. My favorite character “YURIA TOGOKU”. 百聞は一験にしかず。
