What players say
Far Away is a pretty solid VN. The branching storyline and multiple endings is nice, albeit a bit basic. The characters and the worldbuilding are rich and main reason that made me 100% the game, as tedious as it was at times. The Cantonese voice lines were awkward for me at first but I quickly got used it and VAs did a great job at voicing every character. Also, Krosa is very cute (really important!)
Far Away is a VN with top-tier quality. Its gangster theme is rare and unique, the adventure story is intricate and well-crafted. There r 8 main plot routes, yet it surprisingly hits logical consistency. The 500k word script makes Beije, the city of sea and sand, vivid and full. The exclusive Cantonese VA has no rivals at all.
Good story. The only thing that frustrates or pisses me off is trying to unlock the afterstory even though i finish all the endings in main route. But at this point i don't care anymore.
