alias_sqbrA 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.
I try to give content notes for each post but here's what I remember: genocide, familial abuse, mild gore, romantic partners hurting each other, tropey depictions of mental illness and trauma
Guardian of Rebirth:
Victor Path:
Saint-Germain path: (I started this after the Van Helsing path but this order avoids spoilers)
Van Helsing path:
Impey path:
Lupin path:
Future Blessings:
