Review with accompanying screenshots and video at Sinical Network
I recently got a key of this game for free from Narrator. Lingua Fleur: Lily is a kinetic slice of life visual novel with yuri themes by Narrator and STORIA. This novel features two female university students Yuyi Wu （吴羽仪）and Yile Lin （林以乐）who attend the same courses in university together. Yuyi is extremely introverted and hardly got along with anyone throughout in her life and has always disliked sports. Yile is an energetic and optimistic girl who excels in volleyball, yet she is poor in her studies and fashion sense. Through their personality differences and matching strengths and weaknesses, Yuyi and Yile decide to learn from each other and know each other better.
As a slice of life kinetic visual novel, it has an interesting storyline where it starts with the two main characters working out a deal to learn different things from each other. As the story develops and they get to know each other better, the characters will have different events occur in their lives where they will learn to appreciate each other better. The voice acting and background music by Oli Jan and Sorato help to highlight the various feelings both characters feel towards each other and on events in their lives. The game also has a variety of great and cute artwork in the sprites and CGs.
One minor complaint I have is that one scene in the visual novel is showing a basketball hoop instead of a volleyball court or net in a volleyball game. After reading the free short comic that is available online in a recent announcement, I would have also liked to see the game expand more on the relationship between Yuyi and Sis tutor. The first DLC Diary1 continues with Yile and Yuyi's lives together in their new apartment as a comedy drama, and there is a reference to Narrator's earlier work Koi Musubi.
After spending around 4 hours to read and listen to the storyline in the game, comic and DLC, Lingua Fleur: Lily is a cute and enjoyable slice of life visual novel with yuri themes that does not contain any fanservice among two girls in a modern Chinese setting. It has a decent open-ended ending for the additional storyline content that are planned to be released in future. At the same time, the ending in the game which may feel unfinished, together with the game's lack of trading cards at the time of this review means it's also fine to wait until more content is released or when the game is discounted further.

There aren't many achievements with this one, but I have to say I really enjoyed the story between Yuyi and Yile. It was sometimes quite complicated and definitely challenging for both characters to navigate their differences. Overall, it’s a fantastic visual novel and a really good read.

Beyond the Curtains, a cozy idle game about watching the world through a window, is officially participating in the Steam Next Fest! Thank you so much for following our progress — we've been working hard, and we're excited to share what's new. Demo Update We've pushed a major update to the demo just in time for Next Fest: ・Theme 1 — The Last Leaf: Most of the main content is now available, including several story phases and an ending. ※ Some events and sound effects are still works in progress. ・Theme 2 — Scenic Tour: The opening section is now playable, along with an original track composed by artist Oli Jan specifically for this theme. If you've played a previous version of the demo, there's a lot of new content waiting for you. ─────────────────────── We'd Love Your Feedback Beyond the Curtains moves at a very different pace from most games. There are no tutorials, no objectives, just a window, some time, and whatever you make of it. That's exactly why your reactions matter so much to us. We'll be updating the demo throughout Next Fest and using your feedback to fine-tune the final release. Did you accidentally discover something was clickable? Did the waiting feel a little too long? Whatever you felt, please let us know in the comments — we're reading everything. ─────────────────────── After Next Fest Playing and leaving a review during Next Fest would be a huge help to us — but no pressure if you're busy. The demo will remain available after the event, so feel free to come back whenever you're ready. ːkoimusu4ː See you in the next update. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/33017256/04c81e510aae8a0e3cdf77dfaa950ffdbe94c1b9.gif
Hello everyone,Some of you may have noticed that the Steam store page for "Lingua Fleur: Lily - Initial version" was closed on January 2nd.Don't worry—this doesn't mean we've abandoned the feature!Here's what happened:Lingua Fleur: Lily underwent a visual redesign at one point. We wanted to give players the option to switch between the new and original art styles, so we initially planned to offer this through a free Steam DLC. That's why we created the "Initial version" store page.However, we realized this approach would create version management issues and potentially confuse players. So our development team went the extra mile and integrated the art style toggle directly into the main game.You can now switch between the new and original character designs anytime through the Config menu (SWAP IMAGES button).While the button placement might look a bit cramped, it works perfectly fine!Since this feature is now part of the base game, there's no need for a separate store page that was never going to be released anyway.Thank you all for your continued support!
