Known info (basically i'll quote what my friend said):
Publisher: グラフィティジャパン (Garfiti Japan)I recently came across a strange game that is similar in description to (game) Serial Experiments Lain.
It is called "MARINA".
The bottom line is something like this: one fine day, the main character meets a girl on the Internet named Marina, who exists only on the Internet. The fact is that due to some incident with the experimental equipment, Marina's consciousness separated from her body - and was locked inside the network.
As far as I understand, during the game we read Marina's diaries and try to help her by hacking different levels of protection in some system on the computer.
I didn't manage to win (at the auction) the disc, but can anyone find maybe an image? Well, or at least a video or screenshots from the game (I could only find a text description in Japanese).
Artist: ヒキタクニオ (Kunio Hikita)
There is also a REVIEW found, or i would say "review"... Judging by it, it is NOT just some hentai, but something more interesting.
Spoiler
MARINA is an 18-year-old girl with long hair that is rich in ink, with clear white skin and rose-red lips. The big eyes are big and the long eyelashes are impressive and very beautiful. However….
<Warning>
If you want to see MARINA's nakedness and sex scenes, or if you want to enjoy it like a so-called AV, don't buy this title.
Well, to be honest, I can't judge at the moment whether this is really naughty.
The reason why it is designated as X is that a little bit of male and female Karami (not MARINA) is inserted like a collage?
Or isn't it for youth because it's a story of a crack-loving hacker who forges identity cards, scams cards, breaks into corporate computers, leaks data, and tampers with files?
Perhaps it may be a strategy that if a girl is the main character, it will sell better if it is released as an adult.
Well, I'll explain the story anyway.
Suddenly someone accesses your computer network as a player. For some reason, a girl appears on the monitor. Her name is MARINA. It seems that only your voice has reached her, but she enjoys talking with MARINA, who talks over the monitor, whether she was bored by herself in a white, empty room. However, her appearance is strange. The condition of the computer. Mostly why are you there?
MARINA says that when she was playing with a medical system built by her brother to connect and operate brain waves and a computer, only the conscious body was accidentally trapped inside the computer. .. Is the occasional noise mixed in because the system is malfunctioning? And "my brother was killed," says MARINA.
MARINA longs for you like an "older brother". And you promise to "get it out of there" without knowing why. There appears a person who prevents you from copulating MARINA. After a warning of "Watasanai", a system trap obstruction, and a persuasion by the man who calls himself "Cloud Ten", communication with MARINA was cut off and you were left as a fragment on the network. Read the diary.
"Onii-chan" was actually a hacker. And MARINA ... However, you don't know if what is written in your diary is true. The only way to know that is to jack in to "CL10" as "Onii-chan" did. Can you really give out MARINA? Who is MARINA in "Cloud Ten"? You start removing the plethora of security one by one ...
Hmm, it was long. But it doesn't end there. I still don't know what the identity of "Onii-chan" is, whether it is possible to remove all security and confront "Cloud Ten" who is the main body of "CL10". Because ... I just can't solve the security number (crying). I'm stuck here, so I can't really guarantee that MARINA will not come off in the future. I'm sorry.
However, as you can see from the story, the well-developed development is very interesting. It's not a novel story, but it's a computer screen, so you can get into the game smoothly. Along with alerts similar to the system, dialog boxes (warning windows) are displayed, and tricks that make you surprised are also effective, and the coding work in the second half makes you feel like a hacker.
Anyway, Hitomi Nikaido, who plays the role of MARINA (a name that seems to be heard or not) is very beautiful. It's a beautiful girl who thinks that this alone is something you can see. And I think that the director Hikita's love for her will be transmitted to her. Isn't it a movie in which the director uses his lover as the leading actress, which is always filmed at the university's Eiken? A work that is low-budget, shot in the inner circle, sometimes antisocial, or SF. That's exactly what the atmosphere is.
Perhaps the director, Mr. Kunio Hikita, created the CD-ROM for the first time because he seems to be a graphic person and how to get excited! That's crazy. I was interesting with its shiroto-ness (excuse me!) And enthusiasm, but there are some difficulties in authoring, such as a screen design with a B-class feeling, slow click response, and slow loading. So, well, there may be likes and dislikes.
Well, even though it's not erotic, I personally want to strongly recommend it. How regrettable it was to write a manuscript without being able to clear it ...
