When reading through the game, when certain terms are come across, they are added into an encyclopedia index for the player to garner more knowledge about certain things in the game. The Dangopedia is a new feature in CLANNAD. Capturing it in recording programs may prove to be a little difficult, but overall, everything is well put together. The music is very pleasing and well-coordinated for the game.įrom a technical standpoint, the game is very sound. One can spend hours upon hours listening to the tracks of CLANNAD. In addition, the audio tracks for the voice acting are done very well. Tracks were updated and touched up to bring even more emotion out of the game than before. However, to make up for that, the music score is extremely well done. It feels weird to have everything around you have sounds except the sound effects. Yes, there are onomatopoeia in the text to represent the sound, but very few in the actual audio. (I later found out that you can create a dark background for the text background, but simply calling it “Window Mode” made me overlook that check box as I thought it was for the game’s screen brightness in windowed mode.)Īudio-wise, the game is absolutely amazing with only one minor issue. The default font is readable, but sometimes disappears due to the clear text window. While some (including myself) call this CLANNAD’s ‘charm’, it just seems like for the purpose of upgrading the game, it could’ve been touched up more. While the sprites look glorious in HD texture-wise, aesthetically-speaking they appear just as they did eleven years ago. Having also been updated to a new HD resolution, certain ‘deformations’, if you will, were left untouched. However, the sprites are a slightly different story. With the new HD upgraded images, certain images pop on your screen with great clarity. Visually, the backgrounds of CLANNAD can be stunning.

Many thanks and appreciation to Sekai Project for the review key! With over one hundred hours of content for fast readers (more for slow readers such as myself), CLANNAD is an extraordinarily well-done visual novel that sets a high bar for standards of content. Originally unvoiced, CLANNAD eventually grew to the point where not only it gained voices, but also spawned an anime adaptation and a spin-off game. Created by the minds over at Visual Arts/Key and, eleven long years after its debut, finally brought over to the West by Sekai Project, CLANNAD spans the hearts of many as one of the greatest stories ever told by Key. CLANNAD PC Review by Lolinia of We Touch Games – Developer: Visual Arts/Key – Publisher: Sekai Project – Genre: Visual NovelĬLANNAD is a visual novel that almost needs no introduction.
