about finding love while juggling the struggles of everyday college life in Vibrant Frame.\nThe Story\nYou play as Ari Seong (you can change the name) but for the review I will use the default, Ari after all is a sweet name. Ari is a college student in her final year majoring in Theater and Film. She works hard to maintain her studies and like most students worries about tuition and managing day to day struggles. Her life has taken a turn with a series of disasters one after the other when she meets Hanjoo. A mechanical engineering major who hails from a prominent family and has a pretty carefree life and dashing good looks to boot. He sees love as a game until he meets Ari.\nYou only have one love interest in this game so it is more the unfolding of a romantic love story between our main character and Hanjoo.\nSettings, Features & Gameplay\nSettings & features include; display and text options, the ability to adjust the text box opacity, the ability to turn on or off the heroine's face in the text window, audio controls and language. You can unlock a cg gallery as you play the novel and there is a separate album for when you take photos in-game. Extras also include an episode list (7 in all), music and movies (opening and ending) that all become unlocked as you play.\nThere are lots of save slots so do not be shy about saving if you wish. With a lack of choices on the players' part, slot space is not as much of a concern as just saving favourite moments.\n❣️ To hide the hud for screen captures just hit your right mouse button to hide the hud and click it again to bring it back.\nhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3422346423\nThe way you progress through this story is by taking photos when prompted (the game has a tutorial to show you how). There are two endings. One is achieved by taking photos when prompted and the other by taking none. There are no choices to make so largely this novel is kinetic and more just a great read as opposed to engaging the reader as an active participant in what happens.\nThe Visuals & Audio\nI LOVED the cg art in this game and took many screen captures (the hard part was choosing which ones to put in my review)! There are a lot of gorgeous cg’s to enjoy and I have always seen these captured special moments as rewards for usually achieving certain goals down a chosen path. This game does not have any choices to make on the readers part but to be rewarded with such a buffet of gorgeous art is wonderful.\nhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3422358186\nhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3422353850\nThe background music is mainly instrumental with some tracks having some beautiful Korean lyrics. The novel is voice acted in Korean with English subtitles available.\nOverall Experience\nOne thing I really liked about this story is how it showed you moments from the perspectives of both characters Hanjoo and Ari.

A slice of life visual novel about finding love while juggling the struggles of everyday college life in Vibrant Frame.

The Story

You play as Ari Seong (you can change the name) but for the review I will use the default, Ari after all is a sweet name. Ari is a college student in her final year majoring in Theater and Film. She works hard to maintain her studies and like most students worries about tuition and managing day to day struggles. Her life has taken a turn with a series of disasters one after the other when she meets Hanjoo. A mechanical engineering major who hails from a prominent family and has a pretty carefree life and dashing good looks to boot. He sees love as a game until he meets Ari.

You only have one love interest in this game so it is more the unfolding of a romantic love story between our main character and Hanjoo.

Settings, Features & Gameplay

Settings & features include; display and text options, the ability to adjust the text box opacity, the ability to turn on or off the heroine's face in the text window, audio controls and language. You can unlock a cg gallery as you play the novel and there is a separate album for when you take photos in-game. Extras also include an episode list (7 in all), music and movies (opening and ending) that all become unlocked as you play.

There are lots of save slots so do not be shy about saving if you wish. With a lack of choices on the players' part, slot space is not as much of a concern as just saving favourite moments.

❣️ To hide the hud for screen captures just hit your right mouse button to hide the hud and click it again to bring it back.

The way you progress through this story is by taking photos when prompted (the game has a tutorial to show you how). There are two endings. One is achieved by taking photos when prompted and the other by taking none. There are no choices to make so largely this novel is kinetic and more just a great read as opposed to engaging the reader as an active participant in what happens.

The Visuals & Audio

I LOVED the cg art in this game and took many screen captures (the hard part was choosing which ones to put in my review)! There are a lot of gorgeous cg’s to enjoy and I have always seen these captured special moments as rewards for usually achieving certain goals down a chosen path. This game does not have any choices to make on the readers part but to be rewarded with such a buffet of gorgeous art is wonderful.

The background music is mainly instrumental with some tracks having some beautiful Korean lyrics. The novel is voice acted in Korean with English subtitles available.

Overall Experience

One thing I really liked about this story is how it showed you moments from the perspectives of both characters Hanjoo and Ari. Their romance is a slow burn but caring and sweet. The novel is not super spicy, some kisses and suggestive moments but nothing graphic.

The romance between the main characters is believable and caring. The main character is caring and strong willed and Hanjoo really shows concern for Ari’s well-being and is thoughtful and considerate towards her. They really do make a great pair.

Overall great writing, beautiful artwork and a fun, romantic story. Just stay tuned after the credits for a look into their future! 💖

Falling in love for the first time. ^^

Introduction

Vibrant Frame is an otome, dramatic, slice-of-life visual novel developed by Lumiere Entertainment Inc. and published by Smilegate. You take on the role of Ari Seong, whose name can be changed, a final year university student majoring in film and theater and aspiring to a movie director. As Ari is going about her daily routine, one disaster after another sets in. First, she has to make the deadline for a part-time video editing gig, then she hurries to make it in time for a ceremony in front of an important, and finally, to top it all off, she finds out that a female classmate essentially forced herself to be part of the group that Ari is in for the graduation project related to her major, even having the gall to make herself an assistant director. Well, perhaps that isn't even the worst of it. :o The hard disk that contains the film footage for Ari's graduation project gets destroyed during an argument between her and that classmate, and it turns out that Hanjoo Cha, a mechanical engineering student who's extremely handsome and rich (pretty much, he has everything going for him), is the reason. Of course, Ari gets angry at Hanjoo, and this is where their story and road to romance begins. ^^

As for the gameplay, it plays out pretty much in a linear fashion. The story contains a prologue and 7 chapters/episodes, and two endings are present. Although there are no choices, there are moments when the game will prompt/encourage you to take camera snapshots, and a brief tutorial is given on how to do so.

As I mentioned, there are two endings, and if you play through the story from beginning to end and take all the prompted snapshots, you'll get one of the endings. To obtain the other one, you simply need to replay the final chapter/episode, and chapters/episodes that you finished are replayable in the Special section on the Main Menu. In addition, lots of CGs are present as well as a varied soundtrack and Korean voice acting. The only character who isn't voiced is Ari. At the time of this review, there are no Steam achievements or trading cards, and the game won't count towards a user's global total until it's out of "Steam is learning about this game".

Review

Vibrant Frame initially caught my interest after having played the demo. (Please click here for my first impressions.) Of course, I got excited when I saw that the full version came out, and the publisher was very kind to send a review key. ^^ After having played through the game and getting all of the endings, Vibrant Frame brings back beautiful memories of when I first got into visual novels and specifically, otome games. (Since then, my gaming interests and genres have become more varied, but I still do enjoy otome and sweet romances.)

Without further delay, I'll first get into the story and characters. I like how it starts off, with one thing after another going wrong for Ari.

In regards to the writing, the pacing is well done. The events can feel a bit slow at times since it's slice-of-life, but the story is packed full of heartfelt, emotional moments as well as more light-hearted, slightly comedical ones.

Also, I liked looking at the comic book panels, which are like webtoons. They feel placed at the perfect moments.

They evoke just the right mood, from the comedical to the emotional, heartwarming ones, and fit in the right scenes. Before I forget, Korean voice acting is present, with the exception of Ari.

Overall, would I recommend Vibrant Frame?

TLDR; recommended if you enjoy a realistic otome!

the game itself is quite different from other otoge's, with only 1 love interest and no choices to make apart from the option of taking photos or not--however I still very much enjoyed the story and seeing a natural relationship develop between the LI and MC!

pros

amazing va's
good art and CG's!
realistic yet interesting story
cute realistic MC you want to root for!

cons

no choices to make
very linear story

I would personally say the price point is worth it! especially if its onsale, it definitely is a slice of life romance, where you more so watch the story progress rather than making any of your own choices. highly recommend if you're into the slice of life genre like in manhwas!
