SIGILLVM: RESONANCE is a Sci-Fi Otome with a very interesting and unique world. You play as Asra Diwal, a young human working for Hemin, the Tower’s Inspector. Unfortunately for Asra, the world does not plan to let her carry on living easy. Over a year ago, something happened that caused her to lose her memory. A concerning meeting with a being that should not exist. And to top it off? Three handsome bachelors that are frustrating all in their own ways, but if you play your cards right, one might just become Asra’s responsibility past the Long Night. At the root of it all, the SIGILLVM is a tower created by The Choir - a pillar at the centre of the world that keeps everything running. Without the said tower projecting its song into the world, it is said that life itself will end. It’s a very complex building that is still somewhat a mystery to the world. The Choir left the planet some years ago now, and it has been left up to the trusted harmonauts to keep it running. But it has recently fell into a phenomenon called Disharmony, a problem they may not be able to fix alone. Honestly, this is an uncommon scenario where I genuinely enjoyed all three love interests. All three of them were different from the next, with their own problems they’re dealing with through the story. Hemin - Asra’s master/boss, the Inspector of the tower, and the person she is closest to. He was created by “Him - The Choir” to oversee the city in His absence, and make sure things continue running smoothly. He’s a “Doll” - a former human that was moved to a body created and chosen by the Choir. Voyd - This here is my sweet, infuriating boy. He’s a confident scoundrel of a Harmonaut who knows exactly how to push Asra’s buttons. He also works for Hemin, although prior to the events of SIGILLVM, he only knew of your existence, and you had never met. Torn between taking a greater role and enjoying his freedom, all while teasing Asra on the side. Ista - honestly, this man is the sweet baby boy of SIGILLVM. Born into an extremely significant Patron family, the standards are high, and the pressure? Even higher. As you meet him, you learn a special - and super rare power called Resonance has awoken in him, leading to many complications for the young and vulnerable Ista as he searches for help from Hemin. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3798668942 Their routes, in my opinion, were also great. In each one it dives into different parts of the plot in different ways, letting you learn more about certain things than another route may show. Hemin’s route especially impressed me. (spoilers for his route) It was very interesting to see how he genuinely wanted to try and understand how it felt to be human once more. Each route has its own personal detail to dive into but this one felt like it stood out the most. As soon as you breach out of the common route, there is a notable connection and romance develops between Asra and your chosen LI. This very much met my personal preferences, I like to have romance within my Otomes to be more than just a kiss at the end. And boy, I was spoiled here! There are also some scenes more on the spicy and suggestive side, although it doesn’t go too far or breach into NSFW territory. I didn’t end up doing any of the bad endings myself as I tend to avoid the emotional devastation of my poor little pretty boys being sad. But overall there are several endings, and I did read that the bad ones can be quite dark/sad, so if you like those kind of endings, that may strike your interest. The love interests are also not the only characters of note. There are several NPCs all of which are interesting themselves, and significant in their own way. Although, slightly sad I didn’t get to taint Senti and make him the ultimate sinner. Would have certainly been a fun ride! Above, there are probably a fair few things you don’t understand. Speaking of things like The Choir, a doll, etc - and this is due to the fact SIGILLVM has a very unique world. Humans are but one of the beings inhabiting the planet. At first I was somewhat overwhelmed by the lore of the world, but as you progress it all becomes clear as you progress. There is also a glossary that explains some unique parts of the world as you go. SIGILLVM has some wonderful art. The CGs were beautiful, the men gorgeous, and the backgrounds were just as wonderful, fitting each scene very well. Each character looked very unique from the other. Even the NPCs got just as much love! The choice of music and sound for each scene was also wonderfully fit. I often like to listen to music when I play VNs, but for this one I wouldn’t do so as the music can really help with setting the atmosphere to a scene. When Asra knows something is wrong, the game will make sure the player feels it too. The opening cinematic and menu are also very fitting with the whole vibe of the game. Artistically, it really does feel like every choice here was a great fit. Accessibility-wise, you just have your usual. Text speed, skip speed, display, music and volume. However, I feel it’s relevant to add SIGILLVM has my favourite thing to have in a VN - you can use your scroll wheel to look back on text. I’m terrible for misclicking and skipping, so a history option goes a long, long way. I’m sure a lot of people also feel a breath of fresh air when this exists, misclicking is too easy! The one thing I’d really want from this game is… honestly? The same thing I wanted with CABALL, and it’s more! Not even because I feel it’s lacking in content, but because I loved the world, the characters, and I really, really need to be able to torment Voyd more. My brain craves it. But I do know that Levistock is indeed working on a DLC expansion. Consider me the first at the door! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3798668657 Overall, you can really tell there was a lot of improvement between CABALL and SIGILLVM, and I say that as someone who really enjoyed CABALL and saw its potential. The world building is interesting enough to have me curious, and the characters I enjoy enough to continue playing. In-between sessions I would often still be thinking about Voyd mid-route, so you know I was a sucker for him. Not every VN will be everyone’s cup-of-tea, but if you enjoy Otomes with a sci-fi theme or environment, there is a very good chance this would be up your alley. If you enjoyed CABALL, then even more-so I believe this would fit your tastes. Neither game requires the other to be played as they are entirely separate. But realistically there is nothing I can think of to fault here, it was just an all-round great visual novel that definitely jam well with my personal tastes. I believe Levistock will only grow and improve from here, so dip your toes in and enjoy a wonderful experience. Otome Lovers wishes to thank Levistock for providing a free review copy for this game.

Красивая рисовка и отличная музыка. Сюжет увлекает - причем в каждом руте понемногу раскрывается, а что здесь происходит. Очень приятные парни на фаворитах. Каждого хочется поддержать и обогреть.

I loved the game. At first, I was confused by the lore behind it, but as I progressed (and after re-reading the glossary a few times), I managed to get the meanings in the story. I really liked all the romantic interests, and i really sad that Lume wasn't one of them.

Прекрасные мужчины и интересный сюжет, где помимо романтики ты действительно погружаешься в глубину этого мира. Игра вызвала эмоции, а эмоции читателей от произведения - это самое ценное достижение автора. Прекрасно!

Замечательная игра! Давненько не находила стоящих новелл - эта одна из них. Необычный сеттинг, авторские расы, быстрое погружение в мир, который хочется изучить и понять. Каждый рут уникален, раскрываются новые детали истории, тайны ГГ. Отдельный восторг вызвали три главных интереса - непохожие друг на друга, но от этого ещё более притягательные. Спасибо за невероятный опыт.

I loved this game. The story is unique, though it took me awhile to understand some of the terms and at some points I was confused but that didn't hinder my overall understanding of what was happening. I went through all three love routes in order to better understand the story and it was nice that even though it was the same story happening, each route explained things in a different way so that it wasn't entirely repetitive. The love interests are all quite different and it was cool to see how differently Asra (you) interacted with them depending on whose route you chose. I loved how straight up Voyd was, how shy and awkward Ista was, and how hard Hemin was trying to feel feelings. The art was great and I loved all the images that were drawn with extra detail when things were getting exciting. I do wish there were more dialogue options to choose though, particularly later in the game. There were times where it seemed like I would get the choice to do something/say something but Asra chose her own way. I do hope there will be a sequel as I loved this story and would enjoy another game diving deeper into the world.
