Root Film Switch NSP Free Download Root Film starts out grim and a little bit frightening, but the shock soon fades and we’re presented with a well-written and presented visual novel that Western fans of the genre have been looking forward to since we found out it was getting an overseas release. The translation is solid, with only a few small typos that pop up. The game is fully voice acted in Japanese and there aren’t any plans to provide an English dub, so players who aren’t fans of subs might fight that a barrier to getting stuck in.

The game is a murder mystery visual novel centred around two people in the film industry. Initially, the player follows Rintaro, a talented but unknown film-director. Soon Riho, a similarly up-and-coming actress and model, becomes available to play as. Both view the Shiname Mystery Drama Project as their big breakthrough in the industry, but first, they need to solve the pesky mysteries that keep popping up around it.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Root Film will feel familiar to fans of the genre, particularly those of the Ace Attorney series. Each chapter consists of multiple parts, including a prologue and solution, where the characters interact with the locations that filming has brought them to and uncover the secrets hidden just out of sight. As each mystery is wrapped up, the credits roll, adding to the feel of a story set in the film industry. Like the Ace Attorney games, scenes need to be visited in a specific order to unlock the next bit of the story, but Root Film doesn’t do quite as good a job of signposting players to the next location.

Players will need to interact with objects and people multiple times to get the information they need, but the game doesn’t always tell you when you’ve finished in an area. This can cause a lot of backtracking and repeating dialogue until you find the one bit you might have missed.Throughout the investigation, certain phrases will be highlighted by the characters’ synaesthesia, a trait that allows them to notice words and phrases that are important to their investigation.

Story

Once again taking place in Japan’s Shimane Prefecture, a Root series staple location, Root Film (mostly) follows the story of up-and-coming director Rintaro “Max” Yagumo as he—along with his assistant Aine Magari, leading actress Hitoha Amakata, and mostly silent cameraman Kanade Kyoichi—attempts to scout locations around Shimane for the upcoming Shimane Mystery Drama Project—the keyword there being “attempts.” In reality, however, Yagumo and co. can’t seem to go a single day without falling face-first into some sort of highly dangerous mystery—the first of which being a supposedly haunted 10-year-old film.

Root Film has the best production quality that I’ve ever seen in a visual novel. The entire thing feels less like a VN and more like an interactive comic book. While compelling visuals aren’t necessary to make a story good, Root Film is incredibly good at using visual effects to enhance its story, and, between its stellar writing and top-quality visuals, it’s nigh impossible not to get sucked in right away. I had initially wondered why it took Kadokawa so long to produce a sequel, but it’s clear that they were just making sure that everything came together perfectly (which it did).

To the Max!

Remember how Root Letter had something called “Max Mode” that you used to interrogate people during certain parts of the story? Well, hopefully, you liked that feature, because it’s back in Root Film! As you play through the game, Yagumo and Riho (the game’s secondary protagonist) will latch onto certain keywords and phrases using their Synethesia. While the cataloging of these pieces of information occurs automatically, it’s up to the player to use them correctly during Max Mode. While the overall goal of Max Mode remains the same in Root Film to get the person you’re talking to to spill what they know the way you go about things is a little different than it was in the previous title.

Rather than giving you every single option from the get-go, Root Film‘s Max Mode will prompt the player to present one of several (generally around 3-4) pieces of information to keep the interrogation going. Providing correct answers will bump the Max Mode gauge toward revealing the truth, while incorrect answers will bring it down into unsolved territory. Personally, I kind of liked the old way Max Mode was handled because it presented more of a challenge than it does this time around, but I don’t necessarily dislike this game’s handling of it. I get that VNs aren’t necessarily meant to be difficult, and the way that Root Film handles Max Mode makes it progress much more smoothly than it did before. JUMP FORCE Deluxe Edition Switch NSP
