The last time I played Hello Charlotte games (HC) many years ago. I didn’t think much about them since then even though they heavily influenced me when I was a teenager. But recently the memories about some moments in HC started flowing in my brain once again. And, I miss this series so much!
When I played it for the first time, I was an ignorant and desensitized kiddo who could wade through tons of gore and trauma that this game throws at you. Nowadays, I’ve became softer regarding this stuff. I’m worried that I mightn’t take it as easily if I’d try.
I’m curious to know if anyone else here played the series and what your thoughts on it. Or maybe you have similar experience with another important media!
I played the games roughly 2 Months ago and I really liked the series and it was interesting how the developer improved over the games. Regarding the gore I think the most unsettling was the sprite of a student trying to hold its own guts in and also a bit the shift of what happened in the third game, but I think overall its not too bad and the games are really worth it. The story and themes can definitely shake ones feelings, but theres worse. I remember binge watching all of omori a few years ago which hit me so hard I completely obsessed over it for weeks. Anyways if you do play the series I recommend saving frequently. Sometimes there are diverging paths, but more importantly there are some decisions which can result in an instant death and replaying an hour just because you’ve been captivated by the game (and not saving) can taint the experience a bit. Tldr: I really like the characters and the story of the games, especially the second and third one and can definetely recommend the series.
Hello Charlotte is truly a special game series, it surely had a huge influence on me when I first played it. And I miss these characters so much!!!
I just hope that it won’t destroy me with its emotional moments… or rather, that it will destroy me in the right way! I related to Charlotte and Vincent quite a lot back then~
For Omori, I wish I could get it a proper chance - I did play it once but… things didn’t work out, so to say. It wasn’t the game’s fault but I left with a bitter taste in my mouth and eventually lost my save file. Not sure if I should even give it a chance, it might absolutely annihilate me now lol.
edit: “special”, not “species” lmao
