    Code: Realize Guardian of Rebirth is a solid visual novel with a unique steampunk setting and a bunch of well-written and pretty likeable lead characters. The mystery surrounding Cardia's bizarre situation combined with suitors based on well-known 18th-century literary characters is an engaging mix and, even if you're not really all that bothered with romancing a bunch of lads, there's plenty here to keep you reading and exploring the various routes and scenarios until you've seen everything this one's got to offer.

    I'm loving this game. Beautiful art, good music, all the guys are super hot and all are wonderful characters. The common route is kinda longI'm loving this game. Beautiful art, good music, all the guys are super hot and all are wonderful characters. The common route is kinda long (10 hours) but it's worth it as it's a whole story in itself. Plenty of romance in the character routes as well as in the common route. I'm genuinely looking forward to the next two games in the series to spend more time with these guys. There's the usual tropes: flirt, cold/stoic, uwu boy, mysterious white haired guy. I personally always like the flirty guys, and fortunately there's two here, as both lupin and impey are wonderful. The overarching story is pretty interesting and it's woven through the routes pretty well. I thought the premise of the mc being unable to touch people would hinder the romance, but fortunately that wasn't the case at all. I'm having an absolute blast with this game, and had a huge smile at parts, and some parts really pull at your heart. My only complaints keeping this from being a perfect 10/10 is perhaps that the common route is a bit too long, some of the glossary entries seem entirely unnecessary (who doesn't know what an automobile is?), and the character portraits are static (not animated like I've seen in some games). All in all this is a game I'm going to treasure for a long time.… Full Review »

The story is a bit silly and the common route was too long, but I started enjoying the game once I got through it. The LI routes are fun and so well written. I didn’t feel the roller coaster of emotions that I was supposed to (except for Saint-German route which was dark and pretty intense), but I still felt compelled to play it until the very end.… Full Review »
