Story - Ah, the heart and soul of any visual novel — the story! *Strangers on Paper* serves up a beautifully crafted blend of slice-of-life goodness and artistic expression. Picture this: you’re guided through the mundane yet profound experiences of a writer’s life, full of awkward encounters, poetic musings, and heartfelt dialogues. The narrative cleverly reflects the beauty in the ordinary. - 96%
Visual - Now, let’s talk visuals. Some players have raised eyebrows at the character designs, calling them 'ugly,' but, hey, beauty is subjective! While the art style may not cater to everyone's tastes, it carries an authenticity that complements the narrative’s embrace of life's imperfections. The absence of animations might be a letdown for players used to the more dynamic offerings in the genre. - 70%
Engagement - Here comes the fun part: engagement! This is where *Strangers on Paper* truly captures your attention. With stellar dialogue and meaningful choices woven throughout the narrative, each decision feels significant. Whether you're sharing an awkward moment with a friend or pondering life’s big questions, every interaction draws you in deeper. - 91%
Core Loop - Lastly, we arrive at the core loop of gameplay — how you engage with the narrative. The structure of the game encourages exploration through thoughtful decision-making, beautiful prose, and the occasional poetic flare. Each chapter leaves you wanting more, demanding you to actively participate in shaping the story. Yes, some will note that the pacing can feel a tad sluggish at times. - 80%

  1. good writing animation renders storyline. but still need to wait more updates years. to get atlease hot scenes one by one of girls.

  2. Very well written story, the dialogue is very fluid and well thought, the characters portray their emotions in a seamless way that makes you connect/relate with them. This is not a game to fap to, it is a game to enjoy the story and reflect about it, I haven´t finished it yet but it seems the choices are important and force you to choose a path (no harem) which makes the story more believable and real.
    Enjoyed this a lot and hope to see updates for it.

  3. Dont listen to the faggots they just want porn and want to fap this game is good but yes there is no sex scene bc the game is in early access.

      1. Yeah faggots only see porn and you are one of them Fact:- Faggots become mad and blue balled when they see a adult game without gay porn

    1. Faggot content with Tony unavoidable.
      You need love your male love interest Tony “because” another WOKE queer DEV.

  4. Base for the story is that young writer is trying to get life experience from listening other people problems. This is not adult visual novel, just visual novel. MC is intellectual, shy and a follower. This is those games that is trying to tell really deep and meaningful story, but does not have a hook to keep us interested. Other main girl is depressed introvert who posts artistic ass pictures on internet and other one is ADHD extrovert who is getting married. It does not help that both are plain/average looking. There are some side characters that did look good. It is sad, as the game does look really good, that there is no tits and asses to keep us entertained. Writing isn’t that bad, i just didn’t care about any non-sexual target (so anyone). Story could be good enough, but i personally don’t like the idea of forcing to choose what main route to follow from the beginning. After that the conversation options don’t seem to matter that much.

    That is pretty much the game. I did read chapter 1 fully, but after some more useless yapping on chapter 2, i fell asleep on skip button. 1/5

      1. Is this a joke? This has to be a joke. Read what you said a few more times until you get why it’s stupid. With any luck, you’ll be reading it forever and not bother anyone else with your dumb.

  5. The rest of the “Not Planned and Will Not Be Included” I’d understand; but BDSM isn’t that harmful if done right, and I do not see a reason it couldn’t be a harem, or inlude pregnancy content at some point. Those are literally the most ‘tame’ tags that you can have. Just for the point you straight up say they will not be included; as the two tags I actually find a draw to play any of these kinds of games, I would not bother downloading it. Because you’ve straight up denied the two things I’d actually want to see by the endgame. At least I can say thanks for the warning beforehand, and helping me not waste my time and gigs on a pointless download. Rather than some games that don’t specifically add Harem/pregnancy to either the direct tags or the planned ones – or some do – and then blue ball you into eternity about whether the game will end up that way or not.

    1. You are strange, if another game doesn’t have the harem tag and you played it, you get angry because there is no harem in it.

      1. Game have doesn’t virgin tag. And MC is a virgin/incel/gay.
        Interesed in sexual life of male love interest “in the past”.

        1. Not changed; survived something that could have killed me this year, and realized I have no patience for dealing with 99.9% of you anymore. If any of you actually wanted to legitimately debate my points with your own as to having played the game through, or actually offered your own opinions as to what makes the game good rather than straight up posting TL;DR or calling me insane, strange, weird, retarded ETC, then I’d bother posting civil responses and openly debate or encourage you all. But you don’t, so I’m done commenting. It’s no longer fun for me, and the devs don’t give a fuck what some random guy on the internet thinks. They’ll get paid by their simps either way.

          1. You were offered that once. You failed then. The increased self-awareness and judging what is important in life (not this shithole) is welcome.

  6. 1) The complete absence of sex scenes! 2)The most boring and stupid plot of Santa Barbara! 3)Graphics why darken the top and bottom of the screen looks terrible, apparently the developer didn’t have enough brains or money to draw the rest! Bottom line- I do not recommend even downloading this project because there is simply nothing here!

    1. It’s boring and you can fuck the friend sister, but a handjob would be as exciting as that fuck scene with her.

  7. Ye after recommending finally dik game moderator bring this game . But i am still unable to find ch 5 of the grey dreams pls fix it and update the sancho mode of the grey dreams

    1. Sancho is unfortunately missing. Nobody have heard of him almost two months now. That’s actually not typical for him…
