Un:BIRTHDAY SONG – Review & Thoughts

A fandisc of the original series titled Re:Birthday Song. It’s an otome game from honeybee(The Starry Sky series, Dynamic Chord, etc), and I wasn’t really expecting something “ground-breaking” even though it’s a plot-heavy game(or at least that’s how they tried to present themselves…) based on my pure judgment of the original game which I have lots of mixed feelings in, but the final “true” route in particular exceeded my expectation and by all means was this better than the original series. Let’s get into it, then.

Summary: you play as a highschool girl called Kanno Hotori, who has 2 shinigamis called Zen and Rikka visiting her then telling her that she’s going to die in 30 days – 25th of December. Before she dies, Zen and Rikka want to make sure that she’s able to pass on without any regret so that she won’t end up in the Netherworld – where dead souls left with regret end up in. She tells them that her only wish is to confess to her crush Shizuru, and so begins the days where Zen and Rikka would help her with her confession.
