Sister Other Paranoia

1 / 8

★ A dark visual novel created by acclaimed creator nyalra

■ Story

“Onii-chan, you really are a lonely person.”

“Did you lose faith in me?”

“No. I love you, onii-chan.”

Unable to bear the ugliness of the world and terrified of other people, the protagonist develops the ability to read minds.

He shuts himself away and submits a light novel he wrote, which unexpectedly wins a newcomer’s award. But the jealousy and envy that follow only deepen his distrust of the few human relationships he still has. Those around him hurt his fragile heart without even realizing it.

His only remaining comfort is his younger sister, who lives with him.

Clinging to each other just to stay alive, the two sink night after night into a twisted, unhealthy codependency.

―I keep living alone, talking about my own prejudices and cursing the world. Day after day.

I ripped off Dostoevsky, half-assed it into something modern, and turned it into a light-novels. I mean, I tried. In my own stupid way. Had the heroines talk about “existentialism” like it was supposed to mean something.

■Game Overview

The gameplay is an old-school, straight-up classic visual novel . The text fills the entire screen, so read as much as you want—or just right-click to hide it and enjoy the art. That’s it. Read, click, and vibe.

Live through a gloomy, suffocating real world through an overly sensitive protagonist… then come home and savor the only happiness left in his life: the time he spends with his little sister , his one true comfort.

As the friction with the people around you keeps piling up, there’ll be moments when their petty thoughts make you feel actual murderous rage. And in those moments, you can use your mind-reading ability to drive them to suicide .

That snide bastard. That arrogant asshole. Hit them right where it hurts—right in the deep-seated insecurities they never want anyone to see—and take them out.

It’s not like you’re killing them with your own hands, so you won’t get caught. The ones truly at fault are the tasteless, mindless conformists who do nothing but obey society without a shred of aesthetic sense.

…But is that really okay?

What is happiness, anyway?

And in the end—what kind of future will the protagonist and his sister walk into?

Witness it with your own eyes.

It's exhausting. Obviously the main character is made to be seen as unlikable and pretentious on purpose, but the game's own moments of self-awareness of it doesn't feel genuine at all. It's hard not to feel like the author is just airing out his own gripes with an over-inflated ego over his past successful works.

I did like this despite my do not recommend rating. I enjoy pretentious visual novels. But I certainly wouldn't recommend this to someone who is looking for a visual novel to read. Subahibi, which many claim to be the most pretentious visual novel out there, is my holy grail. I expected to like this visual novel due to its psychological horror and pretentiousness... but I was disappointed. If you can stand having to listen to a protagonist wallow in self-pity and spit vitriol at every opportunity, I think you can find enjoyment through what I thought were the nice aspects of the game. To start off, the intended audience is incredibly niche. It seems to be speaking to the issues that writers have as they struggle with both an ego and an abundance of self-doubt... However, this is not well-addressed in most of the routes, which makes the visual novel's themes confusing and disjointed. Igusa and Hiyakawa's routes (scenario?) had the best attempts at saying something poignant. The exemplification of envy that is brought on by success, and the disgusting ego the main character displays is a decent exploration of these ugly human emotions, but the author never really *does* anything significant with the story he seems to set up. We escalate and escalate, but never reach any satisfying climax or resolution to either of these character's arcs. In the parent's and Botan's route, it seemed more like a rant about how women are always chasing male validation and that's all they live for (???). This game in general had a looot of vitriol and hatred for women that just confused me as a reader. I know we're supposed to think that Hasuya, our MC, has a wrong take on the world, but when our only two female leads play exactly into the sexist beliefs that Hasuya has... it makes it seem like the narrative supports the idea that women are attention-seeking floozies to the very end. Dokudami was my favorite scenario and character, but I also felt he was sorely out of place. While every other character has their own struggles and self-worth or self-identity issues, Dokudami is just chilling. His route is a breath of fresh air among the oppressive routes (that, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed in my own way), and he was just an overall fun guy... but compared to the deep dive into human ugliness the other routes were attempting, Dokudami just contrasts the main character's incel energy with positive chad energy, and then they kiss. I'd rate this game a 5.5/10. It isn't good, it certainly won't be memorable for me, but I did really enjoy it and I did re-read Dokudami's scenario. This visual novel hit my feelings in certain moments, but overall it was unable to deliver. Also as everyone else said, the sister basically didn't exist. She had no distinct personality separate from our protagonist Hasuya, she may as well have been removed from the game.

A big fan of Nyalras previous work, as Needy Streamer Overdose impacted Japan's mental health awareness, which also birthed a lot of similar style games in this "Dark Cute style". But also the main topic of someone's mental health and how social media, online perception and expectation can drive someone to the brink. We see this all the time in real life and Ame was a great representation of modern online fame. Even though it was represented in a visual point and click style game, NSO did a great job. So going into Sister Other Paranoia I was excited to see what kind of story Nyalra would tell with this new narrative, as for most people, based on someone previous work there comes high expectation especially considering how great NSO succeeded. I will try not to make it too lengthly and fairly spoilerish free, but going into the novel I felt like I definitely over expected a lot of points of the narrative, especially Sahana's purpose as a character. As she seemed like she would be a fairly important character in the story, but she came across as another side character that was not explored or given enough depth to feel any sort of attachment as the player. Im not really a professional in writing so please take my review with a grain of salt, im really just writing my thoughts. But as a user that consumes a lot of novels, I find an importance to feel attached to characters or make the reader care for them by making them more indepth, under standing their motives or importance, and how they connect to the MC and I feel like the story really tries to accomplish that, but it is done poorly. The MC himself is also very unlikeable but hes suppose to appear that way as he is a victim of his own mind, so of course he would be pessimistic around the world around him. so you have to see his point of view through his eyes and views. The concept was great in practice, but felt like it failed to accomplish what it was trying to do and fell off slowly or losing the plot.

喜欢赤石钱多的精神病可以玩 没有玩过demo本来以为是哥妹骨科游戏没想到。。。 通篇给人一种强行美学的既视感,文本造就的很艺术实际上并不知道到底想表达什么。一个精神病和一个辍学妹在家里谈论哲学,我受不了了。而且文本三句话不离性,强行写性话题是会给作品带来什么升华吗?一股日本男人味,剧情完全为了写心理恐怖而恐怖 妹妹角色塑造让我特别失望,全程背景板,丝毫没有感受到妹妹魅力所在, 最后还要哥控大爆发和哥哥一起死 ,个人感觉哥哥妹控成分也写的不是很好,总是在逃避的时候想到妹妹 其余角色塑造太复杂我一个草履虫无法评价,总之玩下来感觉也很无聊, 都死了也是一种大团圆

it's okay, but the game is genuinely just one of nyalra's blogposts disguised as a visual novel...

话先说前面,觉得这个是galgame可以不用购买,看不下去文字小说可以不买,没有与妹妹的美好记忆,只有作者否认以前自己的内心想法。我都不明白这个畜生男主是作者本人奈亚拉皮套吧,给我看出精神损伤了,坚信自己是天才,底线就跟块抹布一样,非要把揣测别人说是读心能力。奈亚拉的家庭关系也就是典型东亚家庭,父母块离婚了整天想冷战,说实话咱都没感觉,我家里也是这么一个父亲缺席责任的环境,家里要不就三天一小闹五天一大闹嘛,然后转头讲都是你的错,没有你我们早离了干嘛干嘛。 主角妈妈看得出来还是在意主角和妹妹优秀的,老豆就经典hide角色,不过奈亚拉这种感觉就像是跟老头老娘闹掰了离家出走,饿了自己就滚回来那种。对于妹妹这个重要角色的塑造,奈亚拉肯定是难以下笔,写的如此糟糕原因很大可能就是他现实家庭当中没有妹妹这个角色,或者相处的很陌生,妹妹承担的角色不像在可观测宇宙中任何一种家庭成员关系,反而像是奈亚拉的一种善良人格。把这款新作买来当galgame玩的我还没做好心理准备,因为到后面主角会挑拨家里关系,目的是为了带妹妹脱离家庭,显然奈亚拉失败了,他接受不了真实的自己,结局我就打通的是坏结局,好结局我应该不会打纯属玩不下去。 写到这里我还是觉得不够理解作者奈亚拉,nyalra在红薯和X上有号,奈亚拉称这部作品完全是写给自己的遗书,不过重点是在家庭和朋友的相处上,只能说谁跟主角玩一块谁就遭老罪了,按经历完全可以改叫WSS残酷史:齐藤大地还我十万美刀。很难说这一作近乎于自爆式的宣泄作品诞生跟WSS的撕破脸皮的关系,Torii和nyalra肯定就是想倾诉自己在WSS遭遇的职场霸凌。这个作品不扒开外表看本质,就是一个问题作,现在对超天酱这个IP的支持对奈亚拉来说都是进了齐藤的钱包,WSS没有良心,虽然这部问题作质量欠缺,但是出于支持就不退了。希望奈亚拉早日从WSS争取回版权重新续写心血,也对看到这里大家点个赞。

阴角的粪坑自白,陶醉于自我。 自诩拥有读心术,其实不过是偏执妄想。“我讨厌你,我窥见你的肮脏念头,果然你很恶心呢,所以我讨厌你。” 以此自圆其说。照理这样的文字应该让人浑身不适,偏偏主角的虚伪和讨嫌也同样展现得清楚,反而读得下去。 大片大片的内心独白,自视甚高。嫉妒、恶意、自卑、怨恨,到底是谁脑海里的?

妹も他者もパラノイアもあんまり関係ない。 あらすじに書いてある通り現代版地下室の手記でしかないんだけど文章がきれいでスラスラ読めた。 音楽がとてもよし。 特に工夫とかのないシンプルなVN。 選択肢でセーブできないのはげんなり。
