Trianthology’s website has updated with a PV and tons of other stuff, including character portraits and bios. The VN will be coming out just next month, on August 28th.
Let me try my best to unpack this:
- 0:10 The “reflective shards” visualization is very reminiscent of Higurashi Hou’s OP. I imagine this will tie into the whole “Sea of Kakera/Fragments” world view of the When They Cry games.
- 0:25: Chess pieces? Could this mysterious Alice be engaged in another meta-world game?
- 0:45: OK, so it looks like all these stories are gonna get pretty dark. Even the harem one.
- 0:51: Gorillas making peace with man-kind? What sort of Planet of the Apes scenario is this? From the Gallery section of the site, it looks like this is an actual plot point from the sci-fi story.
- 0:56: And then, random Bernkastel. The character Saijyouji Karen also looks a lot like Beatrice Some other characters not shown previously flash by the screen in a blur after this, as well.
The song is pretty sweet, and it’s good to see we’re still keeping composers from Umineko and Higanbana (xaki).
All the English text is from “Alice in Wonderland”:
All in the golden afternoon …
How doth the little crocodile …
Fury said to a mouse, That …“You are old, Father William” …
Speak roughly to your little boy…
“Will you walk a littler faster?” …
Twinkle, twinkle little bat…Tis the voice of the lobster, …
Turtle Soup
The Queen of HeartsThey told me you had been to her…
