Very moving.
A lot of sci-fi imagines future tech, but this game imagines what the future remembers. It asks a sharper question: Do records preserve truth, or do they preserve power?

Trying to make sense of what happened 600 years after a ship had gone missing in space whilst 2 tsundere AI companions argue back-and-forth with you. The message logs are quite convoluted and out of the place but eventually make sense and piece themselves together once you reach the end of the game.
Very neat little game unlike anything I've ever seen. Definitely enjoyable for those who aren't big into the SCI-FI genre, myself included.
Spent a few hours staring at logs and messages on a spaceship. Most of the game is reading, clicking through text, and piecing together a mystery about the ship’s crew. There’s an AI that talks to you, but the writing didn’t really pull me in. No real action or challenge, more like sifting through archives. Atmosphere is sparse and lonely, but I barely remember any of it after five hours.
woke nonsense
Nice story. Dialogue done with the wheel. Multiple Endings. Choose wisely.
VN with cool mechanics (codex dumps, reactor, console, etc.) and an interesting world.
Recommended.
I really enjoyed my experience with this game. I bought it while on sale just to check it out and was not really sure what to expect. As someone who cares about story and characters above all else, it was quite fascinating. The two AI characters are revealed throughout the game to be quite a bit more complex than either may seem initially. It really is worth getting both their perspectives on the various letters and diary entries you access throughout the game that reveal more and more about this world and its history.
It's a bit short and the ending system is frustrating, but it's a good read if you can get it on sale! i wouldnt pay full price though because its only like 3-5 hours longish
much love to the devs though! the korean history footnotes are super endearing
A story about hate, huh? - I didn't want to accept that until I finished the sequel.
What really makes this game stand out, is how it doesn't play by the rules. it's not just a VN with few choices but a history and cultural lesson.
You may hate people in the past for their views, but even if you wanted to, you can't hate people in the future. Not because they aren't as dumb or doesn't make mistakes, you simply can't - because you won't be there.
Time is finite, so don't spend too much of it thinking about hate.
뮤트가 최고임
Such a beautifully written story about the treatment of women in old and modern times. The characters and lore had me hooked throughout every run I did. It was wonderful seeing all the pieces come together alongside two wonderfully written "love" interests! I did experience visual bugs and one crash, but it didn't change my opinion on the game itself.
Very emotionally devastating story.
I loved it.
I feel like I am doing history homework for fun
I had a great time with this game's characters, unveiling the story as I went.
a great game for nosy sysadmins lol
I like, I need more
Usually not a big fan of this genre and I only played it because I saw the Korean text on the picure. I had pre-developed opinion that Koreans are very good at storytelling based on some very good films that have come from Korea. I have mixed feelings about this game. The gameplay and graphics aren't all that to write about, but the story has a way of sticking in your mind for a long time. It's a very subtle but a profound stimulation that rarely occurs in gaming. For a comfortable price point and not too much of a time sink, it is a very good game.
Analogue: A Hate Story holds a very unique place in my heart for video games. It's done something that few have done before. It's a game about pain, loss, connections, and how reaching out can bring sorrow because sometimes there's nothing you can do.
I want to dance around a spoiler because the content is relevant to why it matters to me. I tried extremely hard to accomplish a task and failed what I perceived as an inevitability. That outcome broke me and the game keeps going. The result is that, even though I know there was a way to not fail, I can't bring myself to replay it again to fix my mistake.
The act of failure has far greater impact on me and my experience with the game than it would to get a perfect game. So for 10 years I've carried the weight of those choices and I still recall them to this day because nothing has captured that feeling like this game.
Aunque pareciera muy complejo el utilizar la parte de los comandos, la historia se disfruta mucho y ambas IAs me gustan demasiado. si valio la pena el haberlo comprado y haberme sacado todos los finales.
It turns out this whole time all you needed to make lifechanging feminist literature was a morally ambiguous maid and the world's most misogynistic lesbian chatbot.
I remember liking this a lot
It's fine.
This was languishing in my backlog for years, I got it as a recommendation trawling through Steam forums, and then forgot about it...
Anyways, I'm not sure what I was expecting but that was pretty unusual VN with extra steps (you have to control the system with terminal commands between the VN stuff). The story is kinda messed up, but in a detached way because of the way it is presented.
I played on Steam Deck (it ran pretty good) but I had to use the keyboard feature ALOT, but it didn't interfere with the VN parts.
I'm given a job to download data. To download the data i need an admin password. I learn about the beginning of the (assumedly) tragic fate of the crew. I get the password. I download the data. I get paid. I am a good employee.
Very interesting non-linear puzzle vn based on a certain timeperiod in Korea. I liked figuring out what happened on the ship and seeing the two perspectives of the different AIs.
I loved being able to have 2 different AI companions comment on the Logs of a Doomed Colony Ship. I hated that halfway through the game it turns one of them off permanently without telling you. Still the best Visual Novel I've ever Read/Played.
Поначалу относился скептически, но новелла хорошая.
7/10 (минус балл за загадки жака быдло и записки местами так себе)
Fantastic game where it is up to you to piece the story together. Has a lot of gut punching dark moments.
I went into this game not knowing what to expect, but after finishing it and achieving 100%, I can confidently say it's a must-have experience.
Analogue: A Hate Story presents a unique approach to storytelling, unraveling its lore and plot through in-game archives filled with logs and messages. This method alone kept me hooked, pushing me to dig deeper into it's narrative and characters. It’s a refreshing take on the visual novel genre, giving the narrative a distinctive charm that makes it an easy recommendation in my opinion.
The visuals are really charming, having that old anime feeling that I found quite endearing, complemented by a well-crafted soundtrack and sound design that enhances the immersion. While the game is relatively short—around two hours for a first playthrough—revisiting it for achievements and other hidden story elements made for an incredibly rewarding experience. The multiple endings are absolutely worth the effort.
If you're looking for an engaging, self-contained story about dystopian AIs and a lost spaceship, I highly recommend giving this game a shot. It surprised me in the best way possible.
Analogue: A Hate Story is a standout entry in the visual novel genre, offering a truly unique experience that goes far beyond the typical "read and click" formula. While it starts off simply, exploring logs and piecing together a story.
One of the most striking aspects of Analogue is how it handles its story. As you dig deeper into the history of the derelict spaceship, you uncover dark secrets that completely change your perspective on what initially seems like a straightforward mystery. The game doesn't shy away from delivering a powerful and uncomfortable message about the dangers of systemic sexism, and it does so in a way that feels personal, not preachy.
The characters are another highlight. Despite the bleak setting, the AI personalities you interact with are incredibly charming and well-developed. As you learn more about her, you can't help but grow attached.
Overall, Analogue: A Hate Story is an emotional, thought-provoking, and surprisingly cute journey through a dark chapter of humanity. It’s a must-play for anyone who loves visual novels that aren't afraid to challenge their audience.
13년 전 게임이지만 메시지는 아직도 유효하다. 2012년의 대한민국과 2025년의 대한민국은 대체 무엇이 달라졌는가?
реально хорошая новелла. не пожалел что потратил весь день на нее.
Still a fantastic example of non-linear storytelling.
kinda reminded of a futuristic, shorter The House in Fata Morgana. hyun-ae you did nothing wrong
[h1] HUMANITY HAS MADE INTERSTELLAR OPPRESSION [/h1]
Truly didn't know what to expect going into this but damn do I love reading.
You effectively do spend 90% of the game going back and forth in reading logs and showing the files to the ai you choose to speak with as you uncover the unsettling past of the space craft Mugunghwa. Those other 10% though is really fun (admittedly you might need a walk-through if you get stuck on the timed bit.), especially incorporating the terminal to input commands, as if you really were interacting with systems aboard the ship.
Despite the game's short length, you really do feel for hyun-ae's story as you uncover what really occurred during the last moments of the Mugunghwa before it disappeared. Society on the ship seemingly regressed by several centuries and was what ultimately caused their own downfall which only grows more depressing as you read the logs in the sequel.
At first, everything about the logs seem out of order, and remembering names with the family tree does feel a bit clunky, but damn does the game keep you rooted to your seat once everything begins to line up. Hours of comparing log notes until you build a timeline and suddenly you feel anxious, wanting to know just what happened, who caused what, and frankly, if maybe this outcome was for the best of the ship and it's stunted society.
There are several possible endings (you can follow the guide online) and a "true" ending. Regardless of your end though, you can import your save to the sequel game and continue the story with the ai which is pretty awesome.
Unfortunately, I will have to knock the game for the ui. While I did get used to it quite quickly, the delay between different menus quickly grew frustrating, especially if you're trying to quickly flip through different logs with the ai.
Besides that though, solid game, especially for the price!
9/10 Historical Space VN :)
It's really hard to collect my thoughts and feelings about this game into a concise review and numerical rating, but I'll try. Analogue: A Hate Story contains a great story about cultural abuse, trauma, and a patriarchal society based on an actual time period in Korea's history. I must emphasize that the game contains those things. What it is actually is reading through a ton of notes from the past while intermittently interacting with a couple of characters, one of whom is painfully boring and the other is actually interesting but difficult to interact with.
Look, I like what Analogue: A Hate Story is going for, I really do. But it's executed in a way that is so hard to make sense of. It doesn't balance interaction with the characters with figuring what happened on the ship, so one part just feels draining while you're focused on the other.
If you are into reading a story about cultural trauma, royalty and familial abuse, play this game. If you are into interacting with AI anime waifu, play this game. If you want an interesting experience that intertwines both of those elements gracefully, look elsewhere.
Very good. Wish I read it sooner rather than putting it off for years.
Un visual novel d'enquête assez sympa et dont faudrait peut être que je refasse afin de jouer à la suite.
Parfait pour être au calme
Sabes cuando juegas los tipicos shooters, y hay cartas, entradas, o mini historias coleccionables que te permiten saber de la historia, básicamente esta novela coreana toma ese concepto y lo lleva a un extremo con los logs, mediante una historia de depresión, engaños. madurez y conexión. Dos chicas con personalidades distintas, claro esta novela no es para todos, es leer mucho y de verdad leer mucho en el sentido de que no todos los textos son relevantes pero te permite conocer el contexto del juego de otro sentido, hay una historia tan trágica que en realidad no tiene importancia con la trama principal y es casi aterradora, me llevo un buen gusto con esta nv, obviamente es corta pero se disfruta, tambien se puede hablar de la poca variedad en parte por el avance extremo que ha tenido el género a día de hoy. En conclusión Anologue: A hate Story es un juego diferente cuyo principal objetivo es contar un montón de historias y que tú veas que hacer, una verdadera razón de porque existe este género en particular.
as someone who got all the endings and read all the logs and hyunae/mute dialogue, this game is a mixed bag. hyunae is a beautifully written character and her struggles are realistic and make you feel for her. the gameplay is unique and fits the sci-fi atmosphere quite nicely. it deals with so many important themes such as patriarchy and the way it affects the small community on the spaceship, dooming them all in the end and causing their downfall. however it is not without its issues, especially considering how flawed every single ending is. it fails to deliever its final message the way this game deserves, throwing it all away to turn it into a dating sim. it feels disappointing after such a compelling story to just end it with dating the ai waifus. the odd homophobia of mute is also interesting, especially the way the game critiques the relationship between hana and oh sojin, who suffered so much only to keep getting disrespected by both ais. I liked that it made sense for mutes character but also the game allowing you to date mute and trying to justify her words feels rather icky. not saying the game is fully homophobic, after all it allows you to date hyunae as both a man and a woman but I dont think the story of oh so-jin got what it deserved. it is not a bad game, just a bit confused on the direction it wants to take. if it just concentrated on the lore and the story it would be amazing but who knows, maybe we can get something like that from the developers in the future
A visual novel mais diferente que eu já joguei, estar na pele de alguém cujo foi dado o trabalho de baixar arquivos de uma colônia espacial abandonada a mais de 600 anos enquanto recebe ajuda de duas IA's bastante carismáticas é uma experiencia muito divertida e cativante, e a historia do jogo é bem interessante.
很有趣的 vn，一口气 100% 了。
本作有 5个 ending，实际并没有很多分支选项，故事结构也不复杂，但对 vn 这种形式运用得很聪明，上一款让我有这种感觉的 vn 是 Zach 的 Eliza。游玩体验有一些 Her Story 和 Obra Dinn 的味道，游戏甚至做了简单的命令行交互，就不做过多剧透了。
游戏是 2012 年发布的。
那时候的中文互联网，还没有献忠、波波你太极端了的烂梗，没有铁链女的新闻，也没有加速之类的唱衰论调，好像未来一定是越来越好。
但这些和游戏中虚构的故事竟如此相关，似乎早已埋在儒家文化中了。
作者作为加拿大人，仅靠调查就能写出这样的故事，respect. 飞船上社会与人际关系的设定，劝懂事、闭嘴、为你好 这一系列话术，还有经典的东亚小孩上桌吃饭环节，能让我产生不少共鸣。
顺便去逛了逛游戏初发布的 2chan us 的 web archive，挺好。
Is like watching a traditional Korean drama, but is set in the future.
The story is fictional, but the setting is based on an actual historical period in Korea, which is the Joseon period.
It was not a great time for women to say the least, and the story got that part perfectly. You will experience two female perspectives in the game, one represents the modern/contemporary way of thought, and another the traditional/obedient way that women were subjected to in the Joseon period.
Is quite a contrast to see the two perspectives, and through each side you will slowly uncover the truth and backstory behind the characters, and eventually all the pieces will connect, and the shocking revelation will leave you speechless. It might not be a best-selling novel, but is certainly a worthy read.
Without spoiling anything, like any VN there is a true ending, and is kind like cheating to get it in game(but is totally worth it), please do experience both 'normal' endings before trying the last one, you would feel much better afterwards.
The story continues in Hate Plus, and it reads your final save file from this game, so the ending actually 'carries' over to the new game, is a very nice touch by the developer, so get Hate plus if you can for the full experience.
Great story, really showed me more than I was expecting it to. I'd recommend having a notepad open for this one if you want to really get the full story, but I managed to eventually connect everything without taking notes, by the end.
謎解きアドベンチャーゲームかと思いきや、中身はほぼノベルゲーム。
文章を読んでストーリーを読み解いていきます。
謎解きというかパズルっぽい箇所があるが、これは世界観に没入するための演出という感じ。
とはいえ、PCの知識がちょっと必要だしちゃんと考えないと即死するのでセーブはこまめに行うようにしましょう。
僕は最初からやり直しになりました。
肝心のストーリーは素晴らしい。
この物語に隠されたストーリーを読みましょう。
It is rare I pick up a VN, but something got me to buy this game, don't remember what it was. Maybe it was half drunk browsing of weird or old games on Steam that I do from time to time, but eventually I found this in my library and was like "wtf? I have this game? Well lets try it, might as well".
And I turned it on with an open mind and got really surprised. This is not the standard 2012 japanese VN type beat that I think everyone kind of got bored of since they can go on for longer than an anime that was never really that good but releasing endless spin offs and arcs that are barely entertaining to keep going. This was structurally different, quite innovative for my taste. Command prompts, having to figure out what is up and then having to sift through a whole bunch of what I assume to be Korean names and put things in boxes.
"This guy is from here, this girl is from that family, this guy is a dumbass".
But, it talks about a really interesting purposefully vague concepts and stories that you have to extrapolate which is genuinely really fun. It feels like the movie principle of "Show, don't tell", but for a game. Genuinely cool that it talks about such topics as I do have exposure to Korean culture and I see where its coming from, yet you are still left guessing how did a internally closed culture managed to regress that hard on a ship that you know nothing about. And its a great concept to toss that you mull over in your head as you read entries and sift through various accounts of people being naturally old culturalistic and sexist and Hyun-ae's perspective which the player would likely align to. Juxtaposition with Mute is great as well, having to bounce between two AI's and chatting about it all felt really cool, although I still don't know how Hyun-ae became the AI, but hey I am fine with ambiguity.
Anyways, the stories and weird aspects of that life that we get shown are really enticing and keep you going all the time. The reactor minigame is great as well! I felt like with this game the formula was switched up every so often and you can go do this and that, it sometimes made you forget you are just a guy on a ship there to download logs, but then you have to go use the terminal and get reminded of it.
Overall, great game that keeps switching things up at a healthy pace to where its always something new. Characters and logs feel well written and Hyun-ae is pretty cool as a character as well. Definitely worth to check out on a couple of evenings you feel lazy to play your multiplayer games.
it's so good
Sickeningly brutal as you spend hours just reading letters from 600 years ago. Did they deserve their fate? Do we?
It's heartbreaking and horrifying to learn what happened to the so called "generation ship" and it's somber to realise that it didn't happen sooner. But what makes Analogue so special is not the big scary whodunnit reveal, but the pages and pages of daily life that subtly and continuously twist a knife into your stomach. Masterfully crafted by a brilliant writer, what makes it work is the videogame interactions, the out of order presentation and the two girls comments and opinions.
The more classical VN elements come out of left field and it's unfortunate to go from reading a horrifying diary page to calling your ai friend a cute detective. The "secret golden ending" should feel like a glorious hurrah for those devoted to the story but it ultimately feels like a shoehorn and a betrayal of what the story is talking about.
Taught me that misogyny sucks actually
뭔가 어정쩡한 일러스트와 UI 속에 담겨 있는 불닭맛 막장스토리
의외로 개발자는 캐나다인.. 상당히 어려운 한자도 섞여있는 걸로 봐서 한국 문화에 관심이 좀 있는 것 같다.
비주얼 노벨은 이렇게 만들어야 한다.
전체평점 3.5 / 5.0
I quite enjoyed the story. I don't have a lot to say about it, except that going through the logs and discussing them with the AIs was a great vehicle to control the flow of information. Quite good.
A story-based game that compels you to learn about the characters and their mysteries - it's quite hard to put down once started.
재미없어서 하다가 말았는데 뮤트하고 현애가 예뻐서 좋았음 난 뮤트가 더 좋은 듯
This started out like Her Story, where you watch and read records about a family drama. This one is set in space in the far future and involves two noble families of Korean descent who died aboard a ship.
It's well written and all, but I found the UI incredibly clumsy. You also need to know something about how some Asian surnames work and the gender politics with women and status (which was very low). There was a lot of clicking back and forth, checking for new logs, and there's even an MS DOS like interface that you can "hack" to get even more info.
Unfortunately, this process quickly becomes tedious and after 2 hours of it, I was frustrated and bored. I was having trouble keeping track of all the names and info. There is a family tree available, but you can't hover over the names and see what you learned or anything. The interface is also very plain, consisting of the AI in front of a white background and the expressions change sometimes. They could've put in some nice backgrounds or illustrations to change up.
gives good perspective and questions to think about sexism and understand it
I enjoyed it.
This is one of my favourite visual novels of all time! The twist with Hyun-ae and the Pale Bride makes this good. Mute's attitude towards the player shifting depending on the player's gender makes for subtle and skewering social commentary if you choose to do multiple playthroughs. The programming sequence lends an unexpected and sudden sense of urgency to the proceedings. This is a fantastic game and it still stands up, over ten years later. If you're on the fence about it and think it sounds interesting, go for it! Thanks for an amazing game (and the sequel is also really good too!)
Very intriguing story.
I also enjoyed the twist on the usual VN gameplay, it made the game feel more interactive.
활자 중독자에게 추천
A VN of it's time, but nevertheless a narrative that made me stay up way too late in one sitting because I [i] had to know. [/i]
// Spoiler Warning //
Aside from the other ending options being too anime-trope-y for me to finish, the logs detailing the story of the Pale Bride are full of emotions and interwoven so nicely, the cast and setting while not being shown feel well and alive. While Mute was a fun character to talk with, Hyun-ae's writing shines the most. Upon realizing she was the Pale Bride, my perception of the game took a full turn, quickly elevating it from average to good.
It's ♥♥♥♥!
should've reviewed it like a decade ago but absolutely a great vn
It was a very interesting VN
Low quality, weirdly translated confusing narrative game. I feel like there is a lot of cultural references I'm not getting
재밌게 잘했습니다.
보게 되는 기록들은 국어 교과서에서 봤던 일제 시대 비극적인 고전 소설의 느낌이 났는데, 이런 풍의 글들을 지금 와서 보니 되게 새로웠습니다.
그러면서도 도중에 a.i의 이야기를 통해 분위기를 적절히 환기하여 완급조절을 했으며
무엇보다 한국이 아닌 외국에서 이런 한국적인 소재를 다룬 게임을 만들어냈다는데 많이 놀랐습니다.
There is no problem with looking up guide on how to solve the puzzle or even different endings. There is even an ending that is hard to notice unless you look it up. The fun of this game is reading the story and how you interact with them.
I need to go back in time to kill Confucius
This game is so weird in every way possible, an unforgettable experience for sure. It's very odd but very fun at the same time.
It’s been so long since I’ve played Analogue: A Hate Story. [i] It’s been roughly 10 years. [/i]
It’s a visual novel about learning the truth, or what truth you can scrape up, from archives on an abandoned starship... it’s ‘short’ depending on how fast you read, with multiple endings. It can be hard to get into, overwhelming and dry at times (the authenticity of going through personal archives, not everything written is a thriller), and it’s old now. It explores themes that are dark and familiar, its name accurate and very to-the-point.
I’m a bit hazy on the details! I haven’t replayed it recently, so I’ll update this review if my opinions change after I read it again. I do remember it being hard for me to get into at first, but it captured me nonetheless. There’s some UI issues, and consider that this game is quite aged by now, but there’s a mystery to unravel for those who enjoy unravelling them.
If you’re unsure about getting this game, or may not get it at all, I recommend to also try the free game by the same dev: Digital: A Love Story. It’s what made me, 10 or so years ago, want to get this game in the first place. The presentation of using an interface to read through things and learn a story is something I don’t tire of still. It’s impressive what the developer has done with the Ren’py engine.
有点难评的故事....呃...好吧....总之一言难尽啊这个故事怎么说呢 还行吧 但怪怪的 有种 你吃了一个长得很像巧克力的东西 但他又有一股粑粑味 那他到底是巧克力还是粑粑呢 这个 只能说因人而异吧
其实故事本身我是可以理解的 这种复仇啊什么的 这让我想到一个例子 [spoiler] 我本人很喜欢的一个视觉小说 海猫鸣泣之时 我觉得这个故事中安田纱代的复仇跟这个有一点异曲同工之妙吧 虽然海猫那个更复杂 [/spoiler] 但是为什么我玩完这个却感觉不到什么特别的震撼呢主要是我觉得这故事写的 就 挺平庸的吧 好吧 有点难平 反正还是因人而异吧
话说这游戏的成就倒是挺萌的 要是能做个点数商店把成就当表情包卖就好了(?喂这是重点吗
Rough around the edges, but a genuinely cool story.
多分本当の序盤で詰まるバカは僕だけだと思うが、マジで２0分近くわからなくてゲームが始められなかったので注意喚起
このゲームは選択肢がなく自分でキーボードで打ち込む必要があるのだが、コピーペーストなどが出来ないため完璧に打ち込む必要がある
そしてenable_aiと入力した後起動するAIを選択してください
＊Hyun-ae(ヒュネ)と表示されるのだが
ここで入力するのはenable_ai Hyun-aeが正解である
もうね何回＊Hyun-aeとかHyun_aeとか入力したことか・・。
もうこんなのクリックでいいじゃんなんでわざわざまた頭にenable_aiってつける必要があるの？これって常識なの？
Depois de dar final e pegar todos os achievements, hora da análise.
Embora eu não seja um fã de visual novels, essa merece uma indicação.
É difícil dizer os pontos fortes desse jogo sem dar spoilers... então serei obrigado a ser suscinto. O jogo é sobre as dificuldades de uma jovem que foi congelada no tempo e acordada em uma época com valores morais completamente diferentes, sofreu muito com isso e tudo o que sobrou foram os logs da sua história no computador.
Eu sei, falando assim parece meio vazio, mas é muito interessante de se jogar com uma boa análise crítica.
Seguem os pontos positivos e negativos:
+ Ótima história;
+ Bastante interação com as personagens;
+ Vários finais diferentes;
+ Exige um pouco de técnica de programação básica;
+ Faz realmente pensar sobre a diferença de valores em cada época;
- Não tem voz alguma;
- Só tem duas telas e duas músicas diferentes, então acaba sendo bem monótono;
- Uma das personagens tem pouca interação.
No todo, é um bom jogo, embora seja bem parado. RECOMENDO.
This is ultimately my favorite visual novel ever. It's pretty heavy on the novel side, and I'll be honest that the first playthrough, I didn't find myself caring about all the little side characters in the logs. But it grows on you, and pretty quickly.
Analogue: A Hate Story ist ein einzigartiges Erlebnis, das dich in die Tiefen einer längst verlorenen Raumstation entführt. Es ist ein Spiel, das Geschichte, Mysterium und menschliche Dramen vereint – und dabei mehr als ein paar überraschende Wendungen bietet. Hier sind ein paar Gründe, warum dieses Spiel so faszinierend und unterhaltsam ist:
Einzigartiges Setting – Willkommen im Weltraum
Du bist ein Ermittler, der in die Überreste einer alten koreanischen Raumstation eintaucht. Klingt schon mal spannend, oder? Die Atmosphäre ist dicht und geheimnisvoll, und du kannst gar nicht anders, als dich in die Geschichte hineinziehen zu lassen. Es ist wie eine Mischung aus Detektivarbeit und Science-Fiction, mit einer Prise koreanischer Historie.
Die KIs – Ihre sarkastischen Kommentare sind Gold wert
Die Hauptinteraktion in Analogue: A Hate Story erfolgt mit zwei KIs, *Hyun-ae und *Mute, die beide ihre eigenen Persönlichkeiten und Geheimnisse haben. Sie sind wie das dynamische Duo eines Buddy-Cop-Films – nur dass einer von ihnen ein bisschen psychopathisch ist. Ihre Kommentare sind oft sarkastisch und witzig, was das ernste Thema auflockert. Du wirst sie lieben und hassen – manchmal gleichzeitig.
Tagebücher und Logs – Detektivarbeit der etwas anderen Art
Das Spiel besteht größtenteils daraus, durch alte Tagebücher und Logs zu stöbern, um herauszufinden, was auf der Raumstation schiefgelaufen ist. Es ist wie eine epische Schnitzeljagd durch das digitale Tagebuch einer dysfunktionalen Familie. Du wirst dich dabei ertappen, wie du stundenlang versuchst, jedes kleine Detail zu entschlüsseln und jede versteckte Nachricht zu finden.
Eine packende Story – Drama, Intrigen und Wendungen
Die Geschichte ist voller Intrigen, Verrat und menschlichem Drama. Es ist wie eine Weltraum-Version von "Game of Thrones", nur ohne Drachen und mit mehr technischen Problemen. Jede Entdeckung bringt neue Fragen auf und du wirst nicht aufhören können, bis du das ganze Puzzle zusammengesetzt hast.
Ein wenig Romantik – Für die weichen Herzen unter uns
Ja, es gibt auch eine Prise Romantik. Aber keine Sorge, das ist kein kitschiges Liebesdrama. Die Beziehungen sind komplex und gut geschrieben, und sie fügen der ohnehin schon tiefgründigen Story noch eine weitere Ebene hinzu. Es ist überraschend, wie emotional ein Spiel mit so viel Text sein kann.
Stilvolle Präsentation – Minimalistisch und effektiv
Die grafische Präsentation ist minimalistisch, aber effektiv. Es gibt keine aufwendigen Animationen oder hochauflösenden Grafiken, aber das braucht es auch nicht. Die einfachen, klaren Darstellungen lassen dich dich auf die Geschichte und die Charaktere konzentrieren, was perfekt zu diesem narrativen Erlebnis passt.
Fazit
Analogue: A Hate Story ist ein fesselndes und einzigartiges Spiel, das dich in eine tiefgründige und emotionale Geschichte entführt. Es ist voller Drama, Intrigen und sarkastischem Humor, und es wird dich nicht so schnell loslassen. Wenn du ein Spiel suchst, das dir eine spannende Geschichte erzählt und dich zum Nachdenken anregt, dann ist Analogue: A Hate Story genau das Richtige für dich. Also, schnapp dir dein Datenpad und tauch ein in die Geheimnisse der Raumstation. Viel Spaß beim Entschlüsseln!

Analogue: A Hate Story surprised me with its uniqueness and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It talks about a period of time where women are oppressed and the downfall of a ship and your job is to figure out what led to it. Starting out, I was pretty confused by what was going on but the more I read, the more I understood. I was also confused by the Korean names and had to read a few times to get used to it. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to play its sequel soon!
This was a very enjoyable read. I loved puzzling together the story based on the different logs this civilization has left behind. Interacting with the AI was also really fun and probably my favorite aspect.
All in all, it is really good. The soundtrack is atmospheric and the setting really got under my skin. I would hate those people too.
Short an interesting. It has a pretty good mystery and conclusion. Definitely read everything.
una de las historias mas tristes que he experimentado en muchisimo tiempo
i love women
한국풍 sf 미연시.
남존여비 사상을 주제로 한 선택지 게임.(왜 이 정도로 왜곡 되었는지는 후속작에 나옴ㅇㅇ) 스토리 흡입력이 좋았음.
오래된 게임이라는 티가 확실히 나긴 하지만
게임 진행에 있는 서사는 진짜 흥미로웠음...
캐나다인이 만든 SF 조선 남존여비 비주얼 노벨이 어케 가능한 거냐???
개인적으로는 블럭 2 내용이 진짜 재밋엇음...
등장인물 감정묘사 미쳣어
Overall a meh experience, nothing special.
The characters are okay, stereotypical anime personalities and quite sexist at times (although you could argue it's due to the society the AIs were made in) but quite grating as there's only 2 characters you talk to so it feels like a reflection of the people that made the game as there are no alternative views given.
Going through the archives is a pretty unique system for a vn but the characters ruined the game for me(I hate one of them, and the other is unpleasant, and they're the majority of the game)
재밌었습니다. 캐릭터 디자인도 너무 예쁘고 스토리도 마음에 드네요.
편지들만 주구장창 읽는거라 지루할 법도 한데 흥미진진해서 재밌었습니다.
Analogue: A Hate Story impressed me with it’s depth but at the same time that was almost it’s undoing. The two main things you will be doing is interacting with one of the ship’s AI and going through records and diary entries of various people trying to piece together what happened onboard. The AI were both great to deal with and my favourite part of the game was chatting with them. The logs and other entries had incredible depth and even included detailed family trees. They were very dry however and by the end I was just skimming them for important bits instead of reading every word like I started out doing. In visual novels I prefer to move the story forward and to be interacting with people through dialogue so this part of the game was a slog for me even though i can appreciate the effort put in by the developers. It’s not like I don’t enjoy similar concepts. For instance I enjoyed Her, Daemon 9, Jessika and others which all included going over logs as part of the main game mechanic but at the same time these were video logs rather than written. There was one more area of the game I didn’t like and that was a timed mission. The game gives you what I felt was a good length to complete your tasks but still I have never, and will never, enjoy timed missions. I also didn’t enjoy using the terminal. My main issue with it is the lack of realism. One thing I like about using the terminal every day in real life is that I mainly use the same commands and can use the up arrow to simply cycle through past commands but the in game terminal lacks this feature and I have to type the commands in full every time I have to use them which made it more of a chore.
I played Analogue on Linux. It never crashed and I didn’t notice any spelling errors. There were however other issues. The game would not work properly with more than one monitor. If I chose full-screen mode the game would try to stretch across both of my two monitors. I had to run the game in windowed mode to be able to see everything properly. I suspect if the developer upgraded to a newer version of the Ren’Py engine this may have been solved. You can manually save whenever you want and there are sixteen save slots.
Game Engine: Ren’Py 6.13.11.1715

It may sound like I hated the game but that actually isn’t true. I really enjoyed the story and the AI characters. So much so that I was willing to put up with the things I didn’t like to push on. It’s tough to say I recommend the game because that is borderline but when it’s good it’s really good. I finished the game this play through in two hours and thirty six minutes. My first play through lasted three hours and fifty four minutes. The current normal price for the game of $12.99 CAD isn’t bad although an even $10 would be better.
My Score: 7/10

It's an interesting game, but be careful: there are really bad things happening to several characters (trigger warning).
Beautiful and engaging writing. One of my favorite visual novels.
Interesting premise and good characters. It's not very long but I feel that it works in the VNs favor. I got all the endings and achievements in about 7 hours.
I really like the way the story is told. You uncover by reading logs and letter about people of the past, exploring the archives to uncover the secrets about the place you are and who that AI really is.
You easily get put in that universe and you rapidly get eager to know more
The artstyle is simple and effective. It matches well the gameplay. The OST also compliment well the story
I recommend it to all visual novel fan that wants an unique experience
Sadge :(
재밌었습니다
I love this as a commentary on culture, and on the weirdness that can happen when a culture is put in a bottle and forgotten about. I'm also a sucker for anything with an AI in it.
Визуальная новелла про ту пикчу про войну космической Корейской империи и Финляндии. Интересное чтиво про современного человека, попавшего в чуждое ему общество. Да, есть претензии, как довольно одноклеточные (по типу "ъуъ феминизм, уъу повесточка"), так и более разумные. В частности заинтересовал прообраз всей этой космической богадельни, а именно Чосон. Я не специалист в области истории Кореи, так что какой-то адекватной критики к этой реконструкции положения женщин внутри знатных кругов государства Чосон предложить не могу, но... было ли всё так, как показано? Могу лишь поблагодарить автора(-ов) за поднятия интереса к истории и с пониманием отнестись к... продвижению своих взглядов на (скорее всего) свою историю.
Ну и да, у клана, внутри которого оказалась Хюн Э, фамилия "Ким", сама Хюн Э из Пхеньяна, почти все в этом клане показаны в крайне негативном свете. ОСУЖДАЮ/10, Z, V, всей нашей антиглобалистской братией выступаем против атлантистов и их марионеток в Сеуле, ну вы поняли крч.
If this appeals to you at all I would highly recommend playing the dev's previous work, "Digital: A Love Story," which is IMO a tighter and more affecting experience while also setting up the world of this game in an interesting ways.
The unique format of "Analogue: A Hate Story" makes one's 1st playthrough very engaging but subsequent playthrough and ending-hunting become tedious very quickly. Remembering which entries to read with which AI, and everything taking so many clicks, is a detriment. While I found the writing and presentation less immersive than the previous game, the ideas are explored with such nuance and respect for different viewpoints/experiences that it is well worth the read and left me thinking for a long time.
I put this off for so long because I thought it was gonna be boring. Oh boy, this is such an amazing visual novel. The whole concept of reading text messages is a bit tedious, but they managed to make the concept seem interesting with their amazing story. I only wish there was more dialogue to each ending. Would love for more sequels!!
