Before we start this Onii-chan Asobo review, it is important to know that this is a kinetic visual novel game. This means that this is all about the story and you are just along for the ride and you do not get to make any decisions as it goes. I did enjoy my time with the story and felt that the developer really had some good ideas. However, when you look online, this is a game that has a really mixed reception. People either seem to enjoy the experience or they flat out do not like it at all!

Gaming In The Family

The premise of the story that Onii-chan Asobo is telling is certainly one that I felt was good and had me interesting. Our main character is called, Koichi and he is a game developer who is just trying to get by. His younger sister Ai comes to see him one day and she tells him that she also wants to become a game developer and learn from him.

While this all sounds great and could be a good bonding experience for the two of them. Ai wants to make hardcore hentai games! This, of course, puts Koichi in a bit of an awkward position. Add to this another girl entering the picture and you do have a lot going on here as the two of them try to figure out how to write hentai stories together.

The Art Of The Story

While I found the premise of the story that Onii-chan Asobo was telling interesting, it was the art that actually grabbed me and made me want to keep on playing. I thought that Ai was super cute and I wanted to see what kind of positions she would get herself into. There is not all these animated sex scenes, voice acting, or stuff like that. However, what is here does move the story along and it certainly kept me invested. The art is probably my favorite thing about the game.

The Box Cutter!

Now, the biggest problem that some people are going to have with Onii-chan Asobo is the fact that this is a kinetic visual novel. There are no choices to be made here, you just read the story and go with it. This means that the game 100 percent is relying on you being hooked by the story. While I liked the story that the game was telling, it felt like there were many paths the writer wanted the story to go, and plot points were just dropped or resolved in the very next scene! There was a part with a box cutter that I will not spoil which I thought was going to take things down a darker path.

I do have to say that a game like Onii-chan Asobo is certainly an acquired taste, but I did enjoy my time with the game and have no regrets seeing it through to the end. You are probably looking at about the same time you would spend with a movie to sit through this.

7.5

If you want a visual novel where you just get to kick back and see the story unfold, you can do a lot worse than this. If you want a story you can interact with and move down a different path then you may be better giving this one a miss.

Pros:

  • This game has some great looking art
  • I liked the premise of the story
  • Ai was a cute and interesting character
  • Sometimes it is nice just to go along for the ride with a story

Cons:

  • There is zero interaction from the player here
  • Some of the plot points feel like they go nowhere or are resolved too quickly
