Code Realize: Part 1 (Prologue and start of Chapter 1)

Masterlist of Code Realize posts

So for Christmas I got a copy of Code Realise :D :D

This is a Steampunk dating sim by Otomate, creators of Hakuoki, about fictional characters like Dr Frankenstein etc in Victorian London. I'm enjoying it so far!

Playing on the couch requires a little more energy than lying in bed, so this will probably end up being a bit spread out. Plus I'm still poking at Nameless to write some fic.

Code Realize: Masterlist of Reaction Posts

A dating sim about a young woman who destroys everything she touches teaming up with a group of men (loosely based on fictional characters like Victor Frankenstein) to save Steampunk England from her mad scientist father.

Overall I really enjoyed it, and it's a wild, romantic, and well-made ride. Lots of completely ridiculous sexy science and scientists :D Some parts didn't click for me but generally for reasons specific to my tastes (eg I'm not a fan of serial killer plots or love interests who are sure the heroine is into them from the start) I have very mixed feelings on the treatment of trauma and genocide/war crimes.

I'm playing Code: Realize ~Bouquet of Rainbows~ for the Playstation 4, which combines the original "Code: Realize − Guardian of Rebirth" and the fan disc "Code: Realize − Future Blessings". I've finished all the True Ends and extra scenes for Guardian of Rebirth.

The main summaries all include the True Ending. You can skip the bad and normal endings without missing much. I would otherwise recommend reading everything in order, or at least reading the whole common route before any of the paths. Future Blessings is set after Guardian of Rebirth.

Facts of Interest About Dreamwidth

A nice set of posts about dreamwidth for tumblr users which inspired me to actually fill in my interests in my profile and poke at the interests search.

Because it turns out you can combine tags to get things like Queer + jane austen or dragon age + femslash. Feel free to insert your own niche combinations of interests as appropriate :)

Downside: I was going to add one of those kudos polls to this post and it kept breaking for no reason >:(
